Time Period: A Flashback Now Twenty Years Ago
Place: Regina and Rumple's cottage in Avalon
Situation: Post Avalon's homebirth
Regina's p.o.v
I dread pushing again because my cesarean section incision may come undone even more. Rumple has one hand on my incision and another on the emerging child. I moan and groan a little bit. "The baby is almost out. All I need is one last good push. You can do this" Rumple motivates me. I push and the baby slips right into Rumple's hands. Exhausted, I observe Rumple tend to our newborn daughter Avalon. My body starts to tense up again. "Rumple" I moan clutching my stomach. "The afterbirth is coming" he assumes. "I can deliver the afterbirth without your help" I assure him. "Ok, dearie" he smirks. I am torn between worrying about Avalon's heart and expelling tthe afterbirth from my body.

Special Event: The birth of Abigail aka Avalon (Ava for short)
Roni's p.o.v (aka Regina)
I am a bartender and my husband is a police officer. We are an interesting compatible pair. My husband has always been available and dedicated to me. We are currently expecting a rainbow miracle baby named Abigail. My water broke immediately my husband and I attended birthing class. Who knew we would need all the knowledge that we obtained in class sooner rather than later? Besides premature labor, I dread having an asthma attack while I give birth. The doctor has allowed me to use a breathing mask and my inhaler. I rest and catch my breath between pushes. My husband switches between holding my head and hand. His encouragement and the fetal heartbeat gives me hope even during my time of great travail.

Regina's p.o.v
I summon Avalon to my bedroom. Although I am feeling great all thanks to Rumple, Doctor Whale has put me on mandatory bedrest. "Yes mom" Avalon addresses me in the present time. Even now I will remember her as a baby.
