Time Period: A Flashback
Event: Drizella's conception. Dinner at Rumple's Manison
Rumple's p.o.v
"I am glad you could join me for dinner tonight" I tell my eighteen year old star pupil. "You are an
amazing cook" Regina praises me. "Well thanks" I smirk. "I would like some wine please" she
requests nicely. I pour wine into her empty glass. She expresses her gratitude with a kiss. She
drinks the wine and feels differently immediately. Her stomach grows into the size of a pumpkin.
"I feel something moving inside of me. It must be a baby. I am pregnant. This can't be possible"
hysterical, she yells. I am absolutely shocked and speechless. I never wanted her to get pregnant.
She is already experiencing contractions and drawing close to giving birth. Although I promised
to take care of her and the baby, she leaves me anyway. Unnoticeably, I follow her home. Lady
Tremaine is the only one who cares enough to take her home.

Event: Drizella's birth and adoption
Situation: A young and pregnant Regina is a prisoner of Lady Tremaine
Regina's p.o.v (as an eighteen year old)
Extremely heavy, numerous shackles weigh me down. My bloody arms and legs have fallen asleep.
I am in really deep crap this time. I cry and scream on the behalf of my unborn daughter. The Dark
One and my former teacher, Rumple impregnated me. Our daughter's name will be Drizella. I plan to
call her Drew for short. Anyhow, I am Lady Tremaine's sacrificial lamb. She wants to make an
example out of me. Her endless torment has made labor unbearable for me. I am struggling,
therefore she rips Drizella from my womb. Thankfully, Rumple comes to my rescue.
Regina's p.o.v
Bloody and yet beautiful, my newborn daughter rested on my stomach. Rumple and I decided to
name her Drizella. Drew was her nickname. Drew and I formed an instant deep connection. Drew
drank briefly from my breast milk. I wondered if Rumple loved Drew too. "Give me my baby!" Lady
Tremaine yelled snatching Drew from my arms. I remember she was the one who held me captive.
She also performed an emergency cesarean section on me. She threatened to kill Rumple and me
if we retaliated against her. She gave Rumple two options. He could take Drew or me home. I
blacked out before he made his final decision. It wasn't until I woke up in my bed that I realized
he had chosen to save me.

Place: Lady Tremaine's castle Regina's holding cell
Situation: Drizella's conception and birth
Rumple's p.o.v
I remember I invited Regina over to my mansion for dinner. She became pregnant instantly as the
result of drinking a love potion. I switched her wine with a love potion by accident. Her stomach
grew into the size of a pumpkin. Although she was drawing close to giving birth, she left me
anyway. She didn't care if I promised to take care of the baby and her. Undetected, I followed Regina
home. Lady Tremaine captured and imprisoned Regina. Somehow I became stuck in the middle of
their drama. I was forced to watch Lady Tremaine torture Regina and then cut her womb open.
Regina wasn't given any pain medication for the surgical procedure. Her tears and screams
tugged on my heartstrings. I held back my frustration for her sake. Lady Tremaine threatened
to kill Regina if I retaliated. After performing the cesarean section, she gave me two options.
I could take Regina or Drizella home. I decided to keep Regina and let Lady Tremaine raise Drew.
I vowed to come back for Drew someday. Meanwhile, Regina erased this chapter from her life.

Drizella's p.o.v
Papa and I hold Ava's hands so she wouldn't get lost in the woods. "Please stay close to me,
sweetheart" Papa instructs my five year old sister when she tries to break away. "Where are
you taking me?" she wonders. "We are taking you to a magical castle" I lie to her. The truth is we are
taking her to a churchyard where the deceased including our mother is buried. I witnessed her
giving birth and then die suddenly five years ago. I have helped my dad raise Ava since then.
Anyhow, here I stand at my mother's grave. I don't know what to say so I just stay silent like
Avalon. Papa speaks to mom on our behalf. A child angel walking through the cemetery captures
my attention and imagination soon enough.

Rumple's p.o.v
A raven delivered a note from Francis to Regina and me. "Drizella is labor. Zelena is her midwife. The birth is imminent" Regina read. Sensing Dizzy's birth was drawing near, Regina and I jumped into our carriage. We trusted Avalon to look after Solomon in our absence. "I hope we're not missing the birth" Regina stressed on the way to Drizella's manor. "We are not missing the birth" I assured my wife. I parked the carriage and then helped her out of it. I ring the doorbell hoping Francis would answer the door. While Regina and I wait, we could hear Drizella's screams coming from within the house. "Hello, Regina and Rumple. I am glad you came. Drew is pushing out the baby right now. She knows I invited you" Francis invited us. Although Francis was on pins and needless, he spent time with us before returning to Drizella.

Francis' p.o.v
"OH Francis" Drew moans reaching for my hand. "Honey, I am here. I am all yours now and forevermore" I assure my laboring pregnant wife. The midwife Zelena allows me to stay in the bedroom. I offer encouragement and extra body support for Drew. I didn't doubt her ability to bring our baby into the world. Everything is going well until Zelena ordered to stop Drew to stop pushing. "The umbilical cord is tied around the baby's neck" Zelena informs us.

"There is an ornament on the tree for you" I show my newborn daughter. Dizzy just coos and smiles. "Drew, you are absolutely glowing. You look great for just given birth" my mom compliments me. "Thanks" I giggle holding Dizzy tighter in my arms. "Dizzy is so cute and precious" my mom swoons over Dizzy. "Dizzy is my Christmas baby" I proclaim.

Special Event: A Christmas Party at Rumple and Regina's manor
Avalon's p.o.v
"You are cute, oh, yes you are" I swoon over Baby Dizzy who is resting comfortably in my father's
arms. She has grown quite fond of him. He refuses to let her go. Drizella, Francis, and I enjoy
watching their bond evolve. Father is so good with babies and children. Mother hopes he is not
getting any new ideas about having a third child. Solomon doesn't mind having a little brother or
sister. A lifelong friend, I want something like this. Our house guest, a young and quiet female
pianist intrigues me. Her name is Spirit Everest Jones. Spirit is around my age. Killian and Emma
are her parents. She has two sisters named Ellie and Alice. I encountered Alice briefly in the woods
a long time ago. Anyhow, I offer Spirit food as a way to say thank you for entertaining my family
this Christmas morning. Joyfully, she accepts my kind gesture. I hope we can be best friends
forever.

"Francis, you are so handsome" Eloise compliments my boyfriend. "Thanks, Eloise" Francis
chuckles. "Francis belongs to me" I remind Eloise harshly. "Francis may be your baby daddy. He is
not your husband. He is not wearing a wedding ring" Eloise argues. Silently, I wish Eloise could
disappear. Apart of myself enjoys her company. Anyhow, Dizzy gives us each a red rose.

Drizella's p.o.v
Papa breaks me away from my siblings. He wants to talk to me about something important.
Mom stands close by for extra support. Papa places his dagger in my hands. "I used to be the dark
one. Now I want to be rid of my dark power. I bestow upon you the title of the guardian. You are
the oldest after all" he offers me. I look to mom for reassurance and she gives me her blessing.
Gladly, I accept my new title then. A magical portal transports me to a different realm where I live as
an evil powerful sorceress.

Situation: Dizzy's conception
Events: A masquerade party ball at the Charmings' tied in with an ordinary high school dance
Francis' p.o.v
Accidentally, I bump into beautiful raven-haired teenage girl wearing a mask on the dance floor.
"I am sorry for bumping into you" I apologize helping her up. "I forgive you. My name is Drizella.
People call me Drew for short" she introduces herself.
Time Period: A Flashback-A Time Before Dizzy's birth
Drizella's p.o.v
Even in my pregnant state, I tended to my garden. Riding on a horse, Francis approached my little
cottage. His reddish-brown hair and deep blue eyes shined in the sun. He got off his horse and
gave me a kiss. My mother and sisters observed us kissing through a window. "What brings you to
my cottage?" I asked my boyfriend. "I am planning to fight in the Ogre wars" he informed me. "I am
happy that you want to protect our homeland, but I fear you might die" I cried. My crazy hormones
brought on the tears. My family except for Francis knew I was pregnant. This revelation ate me up
inside. I hated keeping this secret from him. "I am pregnant. I am six weeks along. I am carrying
your child" I confessed. Happily, Francis kissed me and twirled me around. I assumed he was
excited about becoming a father. "We can become a permanent family after I return from war"
were his last words to me.
Time Period: A Flashback-During The Ogre Wars-The Battlefield-Francis' Death
Francis' p.o.v (he is dying in Rumple's arms)
A huge sharp spear strikes my heart. With the grace and gentleness of an autumn leaf, I collapse into my best friend's arms. Rumple cries and cares for me as if I am his
son. "Francis. Please stay with me" Rumple begs shaking me. I fight to stay alive for him, Drew, and our unborn child. The heavens are opening up and my soul longs to be
free from its prison. I leave behind a sea of broken hearts.
Time Period: A Flashback-Francis' death and Dizzy's birth nine months later (December 20)
Drizella's p.o.v
There was a loud knock on the door. I stopped knitting immediately. My mother nor my sisters
cared enough to answer the door. I should've taken it easy in my pregnant state, but I gave in
anyway. A cute little messenger boy stood outside. "You must be Drizella Tremaine" The messenger
boy assumed. "Yes. I am Drizella" I confirmed. "Your boyfriend, Francis died in battle. He wanted
to say he loved you and the baby" he notified me. Grief-stricken, I slammed the door on him. I
forgot to tell him thank you. My distress brought on extremely painful contractions. Blood and
water soaked my dress. These signs signaled my baby's impending arrival. Mother, Anastasia,
and Cinderella helped me with the delivery. I was put in several different positions
because the baby was stuck. I screamed, bled, and pushed very hard until I felt
a great release. My newborn daughter, Abigail laid motionless in my arms. She
became fairy dust and disappeared eventually. I never saw her again.
Time Period: A different realm-The Hereafter-A Land of Milk and Honey
Francis' p.o.v (as a ghost aka celestial being)
The heavens opened up and my newborn infant daughter named Dizzy aka Abigail dropped down. I caught her and held her tight. I treated her to milk and honey.
Time Period: A Flashback
Event: Abigail's birth
16 year old Drizella's p.o.v (as portrayed by Adelaide Kane)
An evil ogre killed my beloved Francis nine months ago. Francis sacrificed his life for me and our
people. Now here I am fighting to stay alive. Mother, Anastasia, and Cinderella have been helping
me with delivering our baby. They put me in several different positions because the baby is
stuck. I scream, bleed, and push very hard until I feel a great release. My newborn daughter, Abigail
lays motionless in my arms. She becomes fairy dust and disappears eventually. I never see her
again.
Time Period: A Flashback
Drizella's p.o.v
I became pregnant at sixteen years old. My boyfriend died during the Ogre Wars. My family except
for Cinderella doubted my ability to be a good mother. Abortion nor adoption were options for me. I
wanted to have and keep my baby. On behalf of my unborn baby, I tossed a coin into the wishing
well. I wished for peace and love. Unfortunately, I was still cursed. The spirit of my stillborn baby
haunted me.
Drizella's p.o.v
Cautiously, Abigail aka Avalon approaches me on the front porch. I embrace her immediately. "I
heard you wanted to talk to me" she begins taking a step back. "I am happy to see you are well and
thriving. I wanted to see how you were doing. That's all" I admit. "I wish I was with my birth parents
instead of here at the group home" she vents. "Your parents think you are dead. You shouldn't
disrupt their lives" I advise her. "Please take me home with you" she begs me. "I can't take you home
because that would bring exposure to me" I worry and fear. I leave hoping that she would stay put
at the group home. Later on, I heard through the grapevine that Detective Weaver discovered her
wandering the streets alone at nighttime. Unlike with me, my parents formed an instant bond with
her. They were in no rush to give her away. I was a bad memory that they wanted to forget about.
Time Period: Still Flashbacks-Hyperion Heights
Roni's p.o.v
Both Avalon and Lucy were with Drizella at the wishing well. "I want my daughter Avalon back!"
angry, I charged at Drizella. "Abigail is my daughter. I carried her and birthed her" Drizella argued.
While patrolling the area, Detective Weaver (Rumple) and Detective Rogers (Killian) noticed us
fighting in the street. They saved us from getting ran over by passing cars. Sadly, I didn't win the
war. I failed to get back my family and restore their memories.
Drizella's p.o.v
We encountered a young father and his beautiful daughter as we entered the police station. The
father held the door open for us. I said "thank you" and he responded with "you are welcome,
ma'am". I became lost in his pretty kind blue eyes. They resembled the deep blue sea. Memories
of my precious Francis resurfaced once again. Francis had pretty kind blue eyes and reddish-brown
hair instead of blonde. My current circumstance prevented me from reaching out further to him
and his daughter whom I guessed could be mine.
Still Drizella's p.o.v
"Please excuse me" I pardoned myself. Mother, Roni, and Abigail didn't question my motives. They
just let me be. I rushed back outside hoping to see the young father and his beautiful daughter.
They were nowhere in sight. I sat down on a nearby bench and put my face in my hands. I
absolutely gave up hope. Passing through, Henry heard me crying. He sat with me and held me
close for a moment. We bonded over deceased family members. I was relieved to know that I
wasn't the only one to suffer.
Roni's p.o.v
"Ladies, what were you arguing about?" Detective Rogers begins. "Drizella has kidnapped and
brainwashed my daughter Avalon" I stress. "Her name is Abigail. She is of my flesh and blood"
Drizella argues. "I loved her first. I carried her and birthed her. She doesn't belong to you" I yell
so loud Lady Tremaine comes to Drizella's defense immediately.
Detective Weaver aka Rumple's p.o.v
How in the world did I get trapped in this mess, two women arguing over a child? I have never
encountered anything like this before. It makes no sense at all. The child, a teenage girl can speak
but fear keeps her silent. I suggest for Drizella, Roni, and her to take a DNA test. Roni likes my idea
while Drizella and Lady Tremaine remain hesitant. They come around eventually. The DNA test
results prove the teenage girl is really Roni's daughter. Roni claims I am Avalon's father.
Place: Francis' apartment
Francis' p.o.v
"Daddy, we encountered Mommy at the police station" Dizzy reminds me over lunch. "I apologize
that we couldn't stay and chat with her" I apologize. "I wish we were a family again" Dizzy pouts.
"Someday she will understand and believe" I assure my daughter.
Rumple's p.o.v
"Are you Detective Weaver?" a young man asks me in the hallway. "Yes. I am Detective Weaver" I
introduce myself. "My name is Toby. You recruited me and hired me for this precinct. Today is my
first day of work" Toby emphasizes with a positive attitude that warms my heart. "I love your
positive attitude. You are a ray of sunshine and hope" I compliment Toby. "Thanks" he smirks
giving me goose bumps. Toby greatly reminds me of a young man named Francis that I knew once
during the Ogre Wars. Even in his dying state, Francis longed to go back home to his pregnant
sixteen year old girlfriend Drew. Sadly, Francis' dream never came true because he died on the
battlefield.
Toby's p.o.v aka Francis
"You are looking at me weirdly. Is there something more going on here?" I bring to Weaver's
attention. "You remind me of an old friend" he explains. I don't want to give away my real identity
so I stay num on the subject. "Anyway, I am ready to work. How may I help you?" I persist. He hands
me off to Detective Rogers. Detective Rogers is my new partner. He teases me about being a
rookie. As we are walking to his car outside, I catch a glimpse of my past and future aka Drizella.
Time of day: Nighttime
Place: The Cemetery-Abigail's Gravesite
Drizella's p.o.v
Holding onto pieces of a dying pipe dream, tears stream down my face. I miss my baby angel so
much that my heart hurts. I have a bad habit of mistaking young brown eyed girls with brown hair
for her. I wonder if my precious Abigail could be one of them. Abby died at birth. I held her and she
transformed into fairy dust. Father Time and Mother Nature sent her to a new different realm.
Anyhow, a small hand slips into my hand. "Please don't cry, mommy. It's me Abigail aka Dizzy" the
little girl introduces herself. I can see myself in her eyes.
Time Period: Alternative Universe

Ivy aka Drizella's p.o.v
part one: The Labor
Ironically, my cat Lucifer and I were watching "Nine Months" at our apartment. Robin Williams made
me laugh so hard that my water broke. I went into a fullblown panic mode because the baby was
arriving nine weeks early. I couldn't depend on my boyfriend Toby because he was in Afghanistan.
He was deployed shortly after our highschool graduation. I contacted Mom and Anastasia for a ride
to the hospital. I hated leaving Lucifer home alone. I believed we would see each other again if it
was God's will. I worried and feared I would die in childbirth.
part two: The Birth and Toby's unexpected return
Ivy's p.o.v continued
Endlessly, streams of tears and screams echoed my internal distress. "I can't do this. I am
going to die. What the hell did I get myself into?" I thought. I was on the brink of losing
consciousness. The doctor and nurses wanted me to keep on pushing although I was
tired and the baby was stuck in the birth canal. Maybe they believed things would turn around.
Besides the medical staff, mother and Anastasia also helped me. Their encouragement boosted
my self confidence. I tried everything within my power and strength to bring the baby further the
birth canal. Toby's unexpected presence made my heart to leap with joy. He was due to come
home a few months after the baby was born in January. Needing her parents' love, Dizzy decided
to embrace the world at last. Dizzy had trouble breathing at first in which was quite scary and heartbreaking for us.
Date: 12-20-2004
Situation: Shortly after her birth, Baby Dizzy experiences breathing problems
Drizella's p.o.v (aka Ivy)
"Just one more big push, Ivy. You can do this" the doctor encourages me. With all of my strength and energy, I push my daughter into the world. Exhausted, I collapse back on my pillow. My boyfriend and Dizzy's father, Toby uses a handkerchief to wipe off my face. "Darling, you gave birth. You did it and I am so proud of you" he praises me. We are not immediately allowed to bond with Dizzy because she is experiencing breathing problems.
Date: 12-20-2004
Event: Dizzy's hospital birth
Ivy's p.o.v (aka Drizella)
Simply shy or stuck, Baby Dizzy refuses to exit my body. My screams and cries search heaven for relief. I am about to give up hope or the ghost when my boyfriend Toby appears. Toby had been overseas, fighting in the Afghanistan War. I remember Toby was deployed shortly after our high school graduation and my pregnancy announcement. He is a total lifesaver especially during my time of great travail. Somehow Dizzy senses her father's presence and decides to make her big debut. We are not allowed to bond with her at first because she is experiencing breathing problems. These breathing issues could've been the result of Dizzy spending way too much time in the birth canal.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: The place where weapons such Rumple's dagger are kept
Drizella's p.o.v
"What are you doing with that dagger?" I confront Detective Weaver. "Only police officers have
access to this place. You do not belong here" he informs me. "Since I am the mayor's daughter,
I have unlimited access to every facility" I argue. "What I do with this dagger is none of your
business" he argues back. Coldly, I snatch the dagger from his hands. I twirl it right in front of
his face. "Rumplestiltskein or should I say papa?! I am the guardian. You made me, your own
daughter to carry the weight of all evil" I reveal.
Rumple's p.o.v
Hook aka Detective Rogers was kind enough to facilitate a DNA test for Regina, Drizella, and me.
None of my children were perfect, but Drizella was really on the wild side. I didn't want to be her
father because she was pure evil. We didn't get along very well. She preferred Henry, Avalon, and
Solomon over Regina and me.
Regina's p.o.v
After a long waiting period, we received the DNA test results at last. Hook aka Detective Rogers
gave us each a copy of the test results. Rumple and I were totally shocked. We expected a different
outcome. Drizella was indeed our daughter. The DNA test results didn't lie. Drizella took great pride
and joy in her small victory.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: The Police Station
Weaver's p.o.v
"Speaking of the devil, here you are" I address Drizella in the lobby. "Papa" Drizella calls me as a way
to annoy me. I reach for my belt buckle. She deserves a good spanking or maybe not. "You are not
my child. You are not allowed to call me papa" I snap at her. "The DNA tests didn't lie. I am your
daughter" Drizella argues. "You messed with the DNA test results" I confront her. "I did not mess
with the DNA test results" she denies. "What the hell do you want with me?" I ask her. "I know where
Victoria is keeping Robin. I will help you get her back if you accept me as your daughter" Drizella
bargains with me. Reluctantly, I agree to her terms.
Time Period: A Flashback
Drizella's p.o.v
"Welcome to your new home" I chant holding the door open for my daughter. We have just only
reconnected. "Thanks" Dizzy smiles making my heart melt like ice cream. She doesn't care if my
apartment is a hot mess. I blame it all on my cat Lucifer.
Time of day: Nighttime
Drizella's p.o.v
Unexpectedly, Dizzy and I crash my parents' dinner party. The mystery surrounding Dizzy's
existence intrigues them. Shy, Dizzy stays close to me. "Dizzy is my real true biological daughter.
We have just reconnected" I explain. My family embraces Dizzy and me with open arms and hearts.
Their love drowns out the voices of my inner demons.
Regina's p.o.v
"This is your granddaughter Dizzy" Drizella introduces Dizzy to Victoria. "Ivy, I thank for allowing me
to see Dizzy. Dizzy is as beautiful as you" Victoria compliments Drizella. Although Victoria loves
Dizzy, Dizzy struggles to find common ground with her. Dizzy prefers me over Victoria.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Rumple and Regina's House
Regina's p.o.v
Drizella, Dizzy, and I walk through the front door and our relatives greet us. Rumple never told me
that we were having a party. Ever present barriers stand in between my husband and me.
Meanwhile, my focus shifts onto our nine year old son. "Mommy" Solomon squeals
running into my arms. I have been so busy with being somebody's grandma that I almost forgot
that I am somebody's mother too. "You are getting too big for me to hold. You need to stop
growing" I tease my son.
Drizella's p.o.v
Such a mighty great fall described Dizzy's abrupt sudden collapse. She had lost her balance on the
roof. There was nothing to break her fall. She frightened the audience and awakened baby Jesus
aka Ronan. Both her head and limbs were severely bruised. She cried up a storm. My family and I
took her to the hospital asap. Passing by, random kind people sent prayers to heaven on our behalf.
My heart bled uncontrollably with love and compassion for my daughter. I felt very bad that she got
hurt on her birthday. I feared she was paralyzed or slipping into a coma.

Princess Tiana aka Sabine's p.o.v
"Weaver's family did an amazing job with the nativity scene. I don't remember reading about an
angel falling off the roof in the bible" Naveen reflects as we walk home from the town square.
"I hope everything is alright with Dizzy" I pray. "We should check on Dizzy sometime. Today is
her birthday after all" Raven suggests. "December 20 was your original due date. You were born
on October 28 instead of December 20 seventeen years ago" I reminiscence.
Drizella's p.o.v
Anxiously, I sit here in the waiting room with my family. My heart is racing really fast. My stomach is
in knots. Father takes his hand in mine. "I know how much you love that little girl, Dizzy. Parenthood
suites you well. You did nothing wrong" he encourages me.
Drizella's p.o.v
"Drew, you are falling asleep. You should go home" Pops advises me. "I can't leave Dizzy alone.
Whoever will look after her in my absence?" I worry. "I will contact you if Dizzy wakes up" Pops
promises. "Thanks" I smile giving him a hug. "Your cat Lucifer needs you" he jokes.
Scene: The Hospital Waiting Room
Rumple's p.o.v
Drizella is a crying hot mess. She is unusually needy and clinging. "Dizzy will be alright. Even now she has her mother's strength" I comfort my daughter. "Thanks" Drizella sniffles.

Everyone stares at me as if they have just seen a ghost. "How is my daughter doing? Is she
paralyzed or in a coma?" desperately, Dizzy's mom begs pulling on my clothes. "Dizzy is feeling
much better because I healed her" I confess.
Dizzy's p.o.v
His soft baby blue eyes and blonde hair come into full view. A huge scary Ogre stands behind him. I
want to run and hide in the woods. My dad holds me tight and close. "Fear not" he whispers into my
ears. I wish I can be as brave and calm as him, The Legendary Francis. Mother Mary aka mommy
defeats death on our behalf.

Francis' p.o.v (a figament of Dizzy's imagination)
Today is my daughter's birthday. I am needing, wanting, and missing my princess. "Daddy" weakly, my daughter calls out from the great beyond. Our lives intersect at her hospital recovery room. I remember she had fallen off the roof of a stable when she portrayed an angel for Storybrooke's yearly Nativity scene.
Date: 12-20-2017
Drizella's p.o.v
"You healed my daughter!" I exclaimed. "Yes" Dizzy's nurse nodded her head. "Please take me to
my daughter. I must see the results for myself" I instructed her. "Alright" she agreed escorting me
to Dizzy's recovery room. The rest of the family stayed behind in the waiting room. I promised
them that I would provide an update on Dizzy's condition as soon as possible. When the nurse
and I entered the room, Dizzy embraced us. She was her old jolly active self again. I was
extremely thankful to the nurse, Ms. Spirit, for healing my daughter. Spirit didn't mind if I told
everyone that she was a miracle worker. Introductions were not needed because they already
knew who she was and what she could do. I discovered that Spirit was related to Tilly, Ellie
and Detective Rogers.

Roger's p.o.v
Accompanied by Dizzy, Ivy approaches Francis and me. Francis and Ivy exchange one
passionate kiss. I can't believe they are involved with each other. "Hello, Ivy. How may I help you?" I
chime in. "I visited the hospital because I wanted to show my appreciation for the kind nurse who
helped Dizzy. According to the staff, she has been missing in action for many days" Ivy informs me.
"I will look into the case" I promise Ivy and then she goes on her merry way.

Drizella's p.o.v
"Earth to Drew?" Henry asks me. "Earth to mom?" Dizzy repeats bringing me back to reality. "I
am sorry for daydreaming and wasting your time" I apologize. "Dizzy and you came over to my
apartment because you wanted to borrow and read a book of mine called "A Change of
Seasons: A Twist of Fate" Henry reminds me. "Thank you" I smile taking the book from him.
"No problem" he smirks escorting Dizzy and me to the door.
Regina's p.o.v
Uninvited, I barge into Drizella's house. Dizzy called me over. Victoria is not home at the time. It's
just Drizella, Dizzy, and me. Drizella is a mess, obviously sad and upset about something. Dizzy
seeks comfort in my arms. "I already know that you and Rumple are my parents. According to
Henry's a Change of Seasons: A Twist of Fate" book, you became pregnant with me at eighteen.
You were my mother's prisoner. My mother ripped me from your womb. That was very cruel of
her. You didn't have a choice. I apologize for doubting your love" Drizella reveals.

Regina's p.o.v
"I can't find a heartbeat for your baby. Your daughter has died" the doctor announces to Belle and Rumple. The twinkle in their eyes that I have grown to love is nothing but a
memory now. They didn't deserve to lose their baby because they would've been good parents. Their heartache brings up memories and flashbacks of my own previous
miscarriage. The spirit of grief and depression weighs so heavy that I desire alone time. I run into Drizella's baby daddy, Toby aka Francis in the hallway. "Drew had a
miscarriage. It was a boy" he shares with me. All this sad news makes me want to go home and hug my children even more tighter.
Rumple's p.o.v
"Hello, Papa and Bethany" Drizella addresses us. Dizzy waves hello to us. "I have been waiting for
you. I am glad you came to the book signing" I respond. "Really? I am really that important. Do
you have a gift for me?" she remarks sarcastically. "I know how you feel because I have also
experienced a miscarriage. Even now, you are not alone in this" Bethany assures Drizella. The
word miscarriage stirs something deep inside Drizella. I can see a tear starting to form in her eye.
"I would like a signed copy of your book please" Drizella requests in an attempt to change the
subject. Cheerfully, Bethany honors her request.
Date: 2-14-2018
Dizzy's p.o.v
Holding onto Grandma Regina's arm, Grandpa makes his way through the front door. "Grandpa!" I
squeal as I embrace him. "I am glad to see you too. You are a breath of fresh air" he teases me.
I thank God for my grandpa because I almost lost him. "Giving people hope and joy is Dizzy's gift"
my mom compliments me. "She will make a terrific big sister" my dad hints. "Are you pregnant?"
Grandma asks my mom who is absolutely glowing. "I am pregnant" my mom reveals rubbing her
stomach. My dad and my grandparents shower her with hugs and kisses.
Place: Ivy and Victoria's workplace-The Basement
Dizzy's p.o.v
"Eloise, I brought you some milk and chocolate chip cookies" I offer Eloise. "Thanks. You are a total
sweetheart" she compliments me. "Thanks" I smile. "Dizzy! Honey, I have been looking for you. You
should've told me that you were going to visit Eloise" mom confronts me. "Drizella, Dizzy brought
me some milk and chocolate chip cookies. She is surely a special child" Eloise defends me. "You
should go on your merry way. Your grandma probably needs your help" mom instructs me.
Obediently, I leave the basement then. Once out in the lobby, I begin to feel unwell. I cough
up a lot of blood. This is followed by a fainting spell. Appalled, the world stands still trying to
figure out what to do next.
Drizella's p.o.v
"Your daughter, Dizzy has Leukemia" these words hurt my heart and soul. I am three months
pregnant. I don't deserve this kind of bad news. I wanted to have a stress free second pregnancy.
However will I manage work, preparing for James' arrival, and tending to Dizzy's needs? I look to
my husband and extended family for guidance.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Date: 10-17-2018
Situation: Dizzy's death
Drizella's p.o.v
Such a great loss and blessing, Hope, an everlasting afterglow. Reminders of this beautiful dying
world of mine, continuously knocking on heaven's door. My angel, a poor sick sweet girl, ready to
embrace that bright white light. An unfortunate victim of cancer describes her tiny beating heart.
Date: 10-29-2018
Place: A Hospital Room in Hyperion Heights
Drizella's p.o.v
"Come on, Drew. You can do this" Francis encourages me. "I can't do this. It is too hard" I complain.
Exhausted, I collapse back on my pillow. "Do it for Dizzy" Regina motivates me even more.
The pressure down below is so intense that I keep on pushing. I deliver a healthy son named
James.
Special Event: Thanksgiving Day 2018
Place: Rumple and Regina's House
Regina's p.o.v
Accidently, I walk on Drew cutting herself in the upstairs bathroom. "Don't you know how to be
patient and knock first?" Drizella snaps at me. "The light switch was turned off. You didn't close or
lock the door good enough. I don't understand why you are cutting yourself. You shouldn't suffer
in silence" I argue. "My life after Dizzy's death and James' birth has been nothing but Hell. Some
may call it depression. You don't know how deep my pain goes. Please leave me alone" Drizella
requests. She pushes her way pass me and heads back downstairs. I follow her into the dining
room where our family is eating dinner. She is an amazing actress. Nobody except for me knows
she is slowly dying inside. My heart bleeds uncontrollably with love for her.
Date: 12-21-2018
Special Event: Rumple/Weaver's birthday
Weaver's p.o.v
Heavyhearted, I enter the police station. Yesterday marked my now deceased granddaughter's
birthday. "Happy birthday, Weaver" Rogers and Francis greet me. They lift my spirits some. "How
do you know that today is my birthday?" I test their knowledge. "Roni said today was your birthday"
they share with me.
Drizella's p.o.v
Tired, I start to fall asleep. I have been here at the hospital all evening long. I have been waiting to
see my brother Solomon. Solomon has fallen terribly ill. A female's voice breaks through my
dream world in the meantime. Her name is Lavern. Lavern works here at the hospital. She found
Dizzy wandering the hallways. I am shocked and yet relieved to see my daughter again. Death
created a huge rift between us. I hug Dizzy instead of asking her a million questions. Francis
and my sister Anastasia join in our little group hug.
Regina's p.o.v
Avalon and I hear a loud commotion coming from the ballroom downstairs. "Mommy...Sissy" Solomon squeals running my bedroom. I place him on top of my lap. "Solomon,
what is going on?" I ask my almost ten year old son. "Francis just proposed to Drizella" Solomon shares with Avalon and me. "Come on, mom. Lets go downstairs and
celebrate with them" Avalon suggests reaching for my hand. Reluctantly, I listen to my daughter. I am like an animal that is heading to the slaughterhouse. "We are going to
get married" an ecstatic Drizella greets us downstairs. She flashes her engagement ring before us and I am absolutely happy for her. What was once a graduation party is now
a wedding engagement party.
Avalon's p.o.v
"Grandma, my parents are getting married" Dizzy reminds Mom over dinner. "I bet you are going to
play a major part in the wedding" Mom predicts. "I am going to be my mom's maid of honor or the
Flower Girl" Dizzy wishes. "I am going to be the ring bearer" Solomon breaks in. From across the
room, Alice stirs up drama. "Please sit and eat, Star Fish" Wish Hook requests nicely. "I am tired
of pretending to be civil" Alice argues. I assume she resents my mother.
Regina's p.o.v
Drizella is kind enough to help me put away party decorations. "Mom, thanks for throwing me a
wedding engagement party" she thanks me. Then Drew goes on her merry way. Meanwhile,
I puzzle over the title "mom". I remember I became pregnant with Drizella at age eighteen. Her
conception was immaculate. I blame it all on the glass of wine that Rumple gave me. Shortly after
our dinner date, Lady Tremaine imprisoned me. She ripped Drizella from my womb. Anyhow, Tiana's
presence breaks me out of a daze. "Hello there, my friend" I acknowledge Tiana. "Keep on shining
your light for you have a big heart of gold" she encourages me.
Avalon's p.o.v
The bus stops at my former residence, Storybrooke. Various Christmas lights make the town to
stand out in the darkness. Loud beautiful angelic singing direct me to the Town Square. The annual
lighting of the Christmas Tree is taking place here. "Welcome to Storybrooke's annual lighting of the
Christmas Tree. I thank everyone for attending the event" the mayor aka mom greets the crowd. I
can hear a little bit of sadness in her voice. Christmas is five days away. I wish I knew why her
heart is broken. A very cute little boy standing in the front row captures her attention and heart.
She invites the boy to join her on the stage. I recognize him to be my little brother Solomon.
The crowd falls deep in love with the pair. Mom and Solomon huddle and cuddle up next to each
other as they sing more Christmas carols. Unnoticeably, I follow my mom and brother home
afterwards. They host a small family gathering in honor of Dizzy's birthday.
Avalon's p.o.v
"Sit by me" Dizzy entices me. "I will sit by you, birthday girl" I agree sitting down beside her at the
table. Dizzy's parents, Drizella and Francis are absolutely awestruck. Like my mom, they thought
I was dead. "What about me? Where can I sit?" Solomon complains. "You can sit by me, honey"
mom consoles him.
Date: 12-21-2018
Regina's p.o.v
"Mommy, today is Papa's birthday" my ten year old son squeals running into my room. Suddenly,
I remember today is Rumple's fifty seventh birthday. He is twelve years older than me. "Solomon, I
was sleeping. You woke me up" cranky, I snap at our son in the present time. "Mommy, I am sorry"
Solomon apologizes. His sad puppy dog eyes pull at my heart strings. "Solomon, I forgive you. I
thank you for reminding me that today is your Papa's birthday. You are a pure sunshine" I encourage
him. "We should visit Papa's old pawn shop. Gideon turned the pawn shop into a museum. He
dedicated the museum to Papa. He might need our help with the visitors" Solomon insists. "I will
take you and Avalon there then" I promise him. Right on cue, Avalon enters the room. Hand in hand,
Avalon and Solomon leave the room so that I may have alone time.
Rumple's p.o.v (as a ghost)
My piano playing has given Regina goosebumps. I laugh silently to myself over her
hysteria. I am glad that I am invincible so she doesn't yell at me. It would've been nice to
come out of hiding, but I choose to admire and love her from afar. Our daughter Drizella has summoned me. Up to this point, I never knew she could interact with ghosts such as me. Slowly but surely, we rebuild our broken relationship.
Drizella's p.o.v
My conversation with dad in the cemetery has given me a new outlook on life. I return home
carrying less burdens and regrets. I walk through the front door and Francis kisses me. Our
daughter Dizzy jumps into my arms. "Princess, you are getting heavy" I tease my daughter.
"I love you so much" she emphasizes with a super tight hug.
Time Period: A Flashback-an alternate universe
Time Period: A Dream
Place: Dr. Facilier's Hideout area in the Enchanted Forest
Drizella's p.o.v
"Hello, Drew Honey. Please come inside and sit for a while" Dr. Facilier invites me. His voodoo dolls
give me goosebumps. He has a voodoo doll and three fortune cards laid out on a table. "My
daughter Dizzy loves to play with dolls. I will give her this doll as a gift" I mention to Dr. Facilier.
"This voodoo doll serves as a representative of you. Your life is in my hands now" He drops on
me. "What do you mean by my life is in your hands?" I question him. "Your sister Avalon is missing.
I know where you can find her. You will not die unless you tell anyone" he baragains with me. "I
understand the purpose of the voodoo doll. Why do you have three fortune cards?" I press further.
"These three cards symbolize your future: motherhood, fame, and an angel of death" he explains.
"I am already a mother to one child. I don't care much about fame" I tell him. I dare not ask about
the angel of death symbolism. "Drew Honey" Dr. Facilier's voice trails off as he reaches for my lips.
He kisses me very long, hard, and passionate. His power runs through my body like an electric
shock. My husband Francis' face pops into my mind. I imagine making love to him instead of Dr.
Facilier. "You and Francis will have a second child, perhaps a son. You will lose the baby if you
tell anyone that I have kidnapped Avalon" Dr. Facilier threatens from the great beyond.
Time Period: A Flashback
Drizella's p.o.v
"Wake up, Drew honey" a male voice instructs me. I awaken and discover Francis laying next to me
in bed. Did I make love to him or Dr. Facilier? The stirrings of life reshifts my focus. I put Francis'
hand on my stomach. "I am pregnant" I announce to my husband and Dizzy's father. Francis is
absolutely shocked and confused. "We made love briefly and you are already pregnant. That is
impossible!" he exclaims. "I had a dream about Dr. Facilicer. He kidnapped my sister Avalon. He
casted a love spell on me. I don't know if I made love to you or him. He said I would lose the baby if I
told anyone that he kidnapped Avalon" I explained.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: The Mayor's office
Drizella's p.o.v
"Hello, Drew Honey" Mom acknowledges me. "I am going to be a big sister" Dizzy announces before
I can get a word out. "Is this news true?" Mom wonders. "Yes. I am indeed pregnant" I confirm
showing her a son0gram. "Drew is already eight weeks pregnant. We are expecting a boy" Francis
adds. "Your pregnancy is a miracle. I had expected for you to have information about Avalon's
kidnapper" Mom bursts my bubble. I can feel death coming closer as I stand in my truth.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Francis and Drizella's bedroom
Drizella's p.o.v
Francis gives the fetus growing inside my stomach a goodnight kiss. I blush and giggle like a little girl. "I love you too" I tell Francis on the behalf of my unborn child. I fall asleep in my sweet husband's arms. While Francis sleeps peacefully, I experience intense painful cramps. I turn on my nightstand lamp and notice that my gown is bloody. My loud cries and screams awaken Francis immediately. Heartbroken, we realize we have lost our baby angel.
Regina's p.o.v
Francis notices me entering the hospital lobby. He hugs me right there on the spot. "I am glad you
could come to the hospital. Drew lost the baby. She just underwent a D&C" Francis informs me.
My eyes start to fill up with tears. My heart bleeds uncontrollably for Francis, Drizella, and Dizzy.
Francis and Dizzy who are visibly distraught can sense my pain and sorrow. "You had a miscarriage
once. You should talk to Drew. She will listen to you" Francis suggests.
Drizella's p.o.v
"Drew Honey" she addresses me. "I didn't want Francis to contact anyone especially you. Even now
it hurts and I want to be alone" I vent. My harsh words do not chase her away. She stays put hoping
my attitude will change. She desires for me to open up more.
Regina's p.o.v
Drizella wants to be alone, therefore I give her space. I wonder if my personal miscarriage
experience would've made any difference. "Hello, Mayor Mills aka Ms. Regina" my favorite
oracle and Emma's daughter, Spirit Everest Jones greets me in the hallway. Spirit works here at the
hospital. Her occupation is a nurse. She took care of Drizella's daughter Dizzy once. Spirit
is quite a phenomenon. She is a healer, miracle worker, and prophetess. She warned Emma
about the great war many years ago. Most importantly, she is one of Avalon's closest best
friends. "I have heard that Avalon is missing" Spirit mentions to me. "Avalon is missing.
I have an idea about who could've kidnapped her. Apart of me wonders if she disappeared
on purpose. Is it possible for Avalon to erase herself from existence?" I confide in Spirit.
Date: 10-31-2019 (Halloween Night)
Drizella's p.o.v
Francis and I dressed up as Mary Stuart and King Francis of France for Halloween. We participated
in Trick or Treat along with our little princess Dizzy. Anastasia looked after Lucifer back at home.
Our neighbors assumed Francis and I were Dizzy's siblings instead of her parents. They were
shocked when we told them the truth.
Date: Still 10-31-2019
Place: Regina's house
Event: A Halloween Party
Drizella's p.o.v
At the last minute, mom invited my family and me over for a Halloween party. Tired, I planted
myself in a chair. Francis and Dizzy had fun on my behalf. Mom attempted to make small talk
with me. "Are you really sleepy or is it Rumple's loss that has been weighing you?" she wondered. "I
was never cool with that man, my father. Even in death, we are estranged" I admit.
Time Period: The Edge of Realms-The Afterlife
Rumple's p.o.v
Hand in hand, we stand on the bridge connecting life and death. Gideon and Baelfire play catch
below us. It delights our hearts to see our sons in such good spirits. I am torn over discarding
or keeping my crystal ball. I remember Belle gave the crystal ball to me. My other family is doing
well, so I don't have a need to check up on them. "You should discard that crystal ball" Belle advises
me. I shake the ball one more last time. Drizella's sad face comes into view.
Place: Drizella's hospital recovery room
Rumple's p.o.v (as a ghost)
A time portal transports me to Drizella's hospital room. Doctor Whale has placed her on a forty
eight hour psychiatric hold. I assume she has tried to kill herself again. "You summoned me and
now here I am" I break into her thoughts. "I am glad you came to the hospital. I am sorry that you
had to see me this way" she apologizes. I look down at her bruised wrists. "Why did you slit your
wrists?" I ask. "I was trying to find relief" she explains pulling at my heart strings.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Drizella's hospital room-She had been on suicidal watch
Rumple's p.o.v
"I remember when you visited mom, Anastasia, and me. I was a child and mourning my dad at the
time. Mom said you were a family friend. Your magic tricks entertained us. You brought joy into my
life. Who knew you were my biological father?" Drizella recalls. "Life is both beautiful and
unpredictable. I remember when you were born. Your mom ripped you from Regina's womb.
I never meant to abandon you. You have a big and pure heart. You deserve to live in peace. I hate it
that you inherited my demons especially the suicidal tendencies" I share with her. "Please don't
leave me now" Drizella begs me. "I am going nowhere" I promise removing a hair strand from her
face.
Place: The Edge of All Realms
Rumple's p.o.v
I exit the time portal and Belle greets me with a hug and kiss. "I know Drew summoned you. How
is she doing?" she asks me. "Drew has been on suicidal watch. She is on the mend now. Even
now she is nothing like me" I inform Belle.
Regina's p.o.v
I heard through the grapevipe that Drew was discharged from the hospital. I decided to pay her a
brief visit. Francis was working, therefore I had Drew and Dizzy all to myself.
Place: Rumple's Family Burial Plot
Situation: Ronan's memorial service
Regina's p.o.v
Rumple left behind his ashes and family burial plot for me to take care off. I believed Rumple
wouldn't mind if Ruby and Vincent buried their son in the family burial plot. They
appreciated my help and support. We were not yet done mourning and burying Ronan when
a livid Drew appeared. Her eyes burned right through my soul. I could feel the darkness
rising up in her. I tried to embrace her, but she pushed me to the ground. "My daughter is
missing. Dr. Facilier probably took her. What the hell did you do to him this time? Please
don't play the rape or miscarriage card" Drizella snapped at me.
Regina's p.o.v
Her eyes burn right through my soul. I feel as if I am attending my own funeral. She wants
for me to tell her the truth. I have a feeling it is going to be a long and rough day for us.
She will probably put my ashes in an urn next. Even now we swim and explore the deep end.
Time Period: The Next Day-Lunch time
Avalon's p.o.v
Drew and Francis invited Mom, Solomon and me over to their house for lunchtime. While the adults
are talking and finishing their meals, I supervise Dizzy and Solomon play catch with Lucifer in the
backyard. Anastasia is like a flash of lightning, present one moment and then gone the next. I
can barely keep up with her. Anyhow, Lucifer decides to break loose. He sends me on a wild goose
chase through the woods. "Leave Lucifer alone for great danger is on the horizon" my conscience
warns me. I don't know if I am brave or dumb for ignoring my conscience. Lucifer climbs up a
tall wooden tree. "Please come down and let me take you home" I beg him. His creepy stare
and grin gives me a goosebumps. Lucifer's alter ego, The Chesire Cat, tries to manipulate me.
The Evil Queen abruptly interrupts our fight. She drags me deeper into the woods, perhaps to my
death.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Regina's banishment
Regina's p.o.v
I hear a low and soft meow at my front door. I open the door and spot Drizella's cat Lucifer on the
front porch. I assume Lucifer is lost. He doesn't let me to touch him or take him home. I will not
give up that easily. He sends me on a wild goose chase. Our final stopping point is the border that
separates Storybrooke and the real world.
Place: The Mayor's office
Drizella's p.o.v
Frantically, my family and I looked for Lucifer throughout town. Our pet cat was nowhere in sight. The mayor's office sent us a text message that said somebody crossed over the border. The border separated Storybrooke and the real world. I wondered if Lucifer left Storybrooke by accident. Francis, Dizzy, and Anastasia went back home just in case Lucifer showed up. I visited the mayor's office hoping my mom would provide information about Lucifer.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: The Storybrooke- The Mayor's Office
Drizella's p.o.v
While out looking for Lucifer, I received a text message from the mayor's office. The text message read someone had crossover the border separating Storybrooke and the real world. I wondered if Lucifer left Storybrooke by accident. I visited the mayor's office hoping to receive information about Lucifer's whereabouts. I found the door closed in which was strangely weird. I pushed the door open without my mom's permission. Her chair was faced toward me. "Lucifer is missing. I can't find him anywhere. Do you know where he is?" I questioned my mom who was the mayor. The chair turned around and I gasped in shock.
My former crush and frenemy Susan had replaced my mother. Lucifer loved it when Susan stroked his fur. He didn't immediately jump into my arms. He preferred her over me. "Where is my mother? What are you doing with my cat?" I snapped at Susan. "I won't tell you anything unless you call me by my nickname" Susan bargained with me. "Lola baby, where is my mother? What are you doing with my cat?" I asked her nicely. "Drew honey, I banished your mom. Your mom had stolen this land Storybrooke from my husband Prince Caspian and me many years ago. Our cat, Lucifer helped my husband and me to get rid of your mom for good" Susan recounted. "Your son and my sister are friends. You should've known better. You are stupid and foolish for banishing my mom" I yelled. "I am in charge now. I will imprison you or do something else worse if you track down your mom" Susan threatened me. "Lola baby, you can keep Lucifer. You and him belong together. I will not bother you anymore. I don't like my mother that much. She is better off in exile" I lied leaving her presence. I couldn't conceal the truth from my family.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Regina's house-The Garden (specifically the apple trees)
Drew's p.o.v
Francis and I have been taking apples off the trees. We are planning to bake apple pies. "Regina" a familiar male voice addresses me. I am startled to see my dad who has returned back from running errands with Dizzy.
Rumple's p.o.v
"Drew, I am sorry for confusing you with your mom. I have been accustomed to seeing her in this garden. The apple trees were her favorite" I apologize. "I understand that you miss her" Drew sympathizes. Francis and the kids take the groceries and picked apples into house. I am glad that I have Drew all to myself. "I told Susan that she could keep Lucifer. I told her that I wouldn't bother her anymore" Drew refreshes my memory. "I know how much you want your mom back. A tiny lie is still a lie or broken vow pertaining to Susan. Eventually she will find out our plans" I warn my daughter.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Regina's garden (specifically the apple trees)
Regina's p.o.v (as witnessed and experienced by Drizella)
"I received your text message. You wanted to see me" Drew recalls. I take her hands in mine. My power flows through her body like an electric shock. "Why did you give me your magical powers?" she inquires. "I fear and worry something bad is going to happen to me soon. I want you to have my power just in case" I explain.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Regina's garden
Drizella's p.o.v
"Before mom was banished, she gave her power to me. Maybe she wanted me to protect Storybrooke in her absence" I recall. "There goes a pretty firebird. The bird is dropping pearls" Dad shows me.
Francis' p.o.v
Her loud screams awakened me and half the town. I was taking my usual afternoon nap at the
time. "Francis, Dizzy has disappeared" a frantic Drew alerted me. I crawled out of bed and hunted
down Henry asap. Apparently, Henry didn't learn his lesson from our previous situation. I remember
he had sent all the babies and children including my precious Dizzy to a different realm called The
Canal. Anyhow, our lives crossed paths in the street. I punched him and I didn't care if we were
friends. He didn't hit me back though. "What the hell, Francis?" he inquired. "My daughter Dizzy has
disappeared. It is all your fault" I yelled shaking him. "I swear I had nothing to do with her
disappearance. My hands are clean in this one" Henry confessed.
Drizella's p.o.v
Francis said Henry was innocent concerning our daughter's disappearance. I believed and trusted him. I reshifted my focus and anger toward Susan. Francis, Vera, and Papa warned against taking matters into my own hands. I didn't know if I have been made to be a destroyer or a peacemaker.
Rumple's p.o.v
Dizzy's disappearance was the final straw for Drizella. No matter how many times I overlooked her dark bad side, I saw the fire in Drizella's eyes. She resembled my former evil self. Rebellious and yet careless, a bloodthirsty Drizella went after Susan. My daughter was definitely on a warpath. Her actions created huge ripple effects from City Hall to the streets of Storybrooke where I fought against Prince Caspian and his armies. Prince Naveen, Francis, Tristan, and The Charmings helped me.
Regina's p.o.v
I was writing in my journal and looking after my adopted daughter Dizzy when I heard a low soft knock on my front door. I answered the door expecting to see a girl scout selling cookies. I encountered a teenage girl and her very cute little brother. Their names were Avalon and Solomon. They claimed to be my children. They promised a new beginning for Dizzy and myself.
Rumple's p.o.v
According to Drizella's text message, Susan banished Regina and Dizzy to Manhattan, New York. My precious son Neal aka Baelfire used to reside there. While my crew and I were in engaged in battle with Prince Caspian and his army, Avalon and Solomon crossed over the border. They planned to bring Regina and perhaps Dizzy home. I gave them both my permission and blessing. I had a lot of faith in them. I put a protective spell on them so that no danger would come to them. The arrival of Regina and Dizzy restored order, peace, and joy in Storybrooke. Francis and Drizella were happy to be reunited with their little princess. With Shay's help, Henry wrote or killed off Prince Caspian and his family.
Drizella's p.o.v
I join mom for a private meeting in her garden. She picks a red apple off an nearby tree. She gives the apple to me as a peace offering. "Drew, I thank you for defending my honor" she begins. "You must want your magical powers back" I assume. "Yes, dear" she chuckles.
Regina's p.o.v
My former lover and archenemy, Dr. Facilier tried to hold my hand. I yanked my hand out of his tight grip. My reaction didn't stop him. He tried to hug and kiss me. I pushed him away. "Don't touch me" I yelled at him. "I will rip you open like Lady Tremaine did many years ago" he threatened pointing to my old emergency cesarean section scar.
Time Period: Post the Battle over Baby Franco
Place: Regina's hospital recovery room
Regina's p.o.v
I remember Dr. Facilier threatened to rip me open in the same way that Lady Tremaine did many years ago. Lady Tremaine had imprisoned and tormented me. She performed an emergency cesarean section on me. Mercilessly, she ripped Drizella from my womb. Rumple witnessed the birth. He saved me instead of our daughter. Anyway, Dr. Facilier's words held so much power that my cesarean section incision came undone. I lost both blood and consciousness. When I awakened, I was in a hospital recovery room. An emotional Avalon and Solomon hugged and kissed me. I tried to get of bed, but abdominal pain paralyzed me. "Please rest, Mayor Mills. You just had surgery. My team and I repaired your incision" Dr. Whale strongly recommends helping me back into bed.
Regina's p.o.v continued
"Regina" a worried Tristan stormed right into my room. "Where is Franco? Do you have him?" I asked him. "I do have Franco. He is safe at home with Violet and Tessa. Isolde and her friends including Dr. Facilier have disappeared. They are gone for good or maybe not" Tristan informed me. "Tristan, I appreciate your updates. Just in case you didn't know, Drizella is my biological daughter. I had an emergency cesarean section with her many years ago. Dr. Facilier reopened my incision. Dr. Whale and his lovely team closed up the incision" I shared with Tristan. "OH My God!" Tristan exclaimed.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: The Edge of all Realms-Rumple and Belle's cottage
Rumple's p.o.v
While I am reading to Belle, I sense there is something wrong with Regina in the supernatural realm. "Rumple, why have you stopped reading?" Belle asks me. "There is something wrong with Regina. I casted a healing spell on her many years ago. The spell has come undone now. I must check on her" I explain. "What kind of healing spell did you cast on Regina?" Belle inquires. "Lady Tremaine performed an emergency cesarean section on Regina many years ago. Lady Tremaine ripped Drizella from Regina's womb. I witnessed the birth. I closed up Regina's incision by performing a healing spell" I recount. "I know how much you care about Regina. I give you permission to check on her" Belle permits me. "I will not fall in love with Regina again" I promise my wife. A time portal opens in the living room. We hug and kiss each other goodbye. Then the time portal transports me to Regina's hospital recovery room.

"Hello, Rumple. I am glad you came to check on me" Regina acknowledges me. I sit down at her bedside and gently touch her cesarean section incision. "I had sensed that my healing spell that I put on your incision came undone. Please tell me what happened" I request.

"The guests are here for the drive by" Solomon texts me from his bedroom. "I have a surprise for you outside" I tease my daughter. "Please show me" excited, she requests. "You must help me out of the bed and into my wheelchair first" I instruct her. Obediently, Avalon helps me into my wheelchair. Solomon accompanies us outside where a birthday parade of cars await Avalon. I use a video camera app on my cellphone to record her priceless cute reaction. She receives gifts and cards from our neighbors and friends. Solomon puts them on a nearby table. Wearing a mask, Drizella walks over from her house. She bears a gift for Avalon. We practice social distancing. "Are you feeling?" Drizella asks me. "I am on the mend. Your birth took a huge toll on my body many years ago. I am still dealing with the aftereffects" I joke around with her. "Francis and Dizzy send their love and well wishes" Drizella discloses.
Drizella's p.o.v
Joyfully, Dizzy leaps into my arms when I arrive home. "Mommy" Dizzy acknowledges me. "Baby, you are getting too heavy for me to hold" I tease her. "Ok mommy" Dizzy frowns loosening her grip. Francis hugs and kisses me. "How was your sister's surprise birthday party?" Francis asks me. "Avalon enjoyed her surprise birthday drive by. She appreciated our gift. My mom is on the mend. I am somewhat responsible for her current condition. Lady Tremaine ripped me from her womb many years ago. Dr. Facilier reopened her cesarean incision" I inform Francis. "It is not your fault that you that she is in the wheelchair. You'll tell her how you feel someday" Francis assures me.
The Blue Fairy's p.o.v (aka Beverly)
"Rumple has sent you" Regina assumes. "He didn't send me. I did promise him that I would check on you" I correct her. "I am fine" she lies so that I may get off her case. "Who is running the town in your absence?" I ask her. "Drizella is second in command. You should check on her" she suggests. I disappear into a cloud of pixie dust. I visit City Hall where Drizella and her family have been resuming Regina's duties.
Drizella's p.o.v
Feeling defeated, I put my face in my hands. "Being second in command is no fun at all. I will never get done with all this paper work" I complain. "You are doing an amazing job" Francis encourages me.
Drizella's p.o.v
The Blue Fairy aka Beverly enters my office and I immediately assume mom has sent her to check on me. "My mom has probably sent you to check on me. You can tell her that my family and I have everything covered" I assure Beverly. "You look unwell. You must rest. Stress is not good for you and the baby" Beverly advises. Before I can test her knowledge about my pregnancy, I feel a sharp abdominal cramp. This cramp is followed by heavy bleeding.
Drizella's p.o.v
Although I am in the hospital, my mind is still at work. I remember my miscarriage. My suffering impacted Beverly and my family greatly. "My blood stained her favorite chair. Mom is going to kill me" I worry. "She will understand that you lost a baby" Francis assumes.
Drizella's p.o.v
Francis promised we would buy a new office chair for my mom. My guilty conscience wouldn't allow me to sleep. Francis contacted mom on my behalf. She actually did come to the hospital and visited me. I told her about my miscarriage. She didn't judge me at all. She wished me a speedy recovery. She looked forward to receiving her new office chair.
