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.
Time Period: A Flashback-An Alternate Universe
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.
Time Period: A Flashback
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.
Time Period: A Flashback- A Possible Reality and Dream
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.
Time Period: A Flashback- An Alternate Universe
Place: Fairytale Land- The Enchanted Forest-Rumple and Regina's manor
Situation: The Decoration of The Christmas Tree
Francis' p.o.v
My father in law, Rumple found and cut down the prettiest Evergreen in the Enchanted Forest. Rumple and Regina have invited Drizella and me over for their traditional decorating of the Christmas tree. Emma and Killian's daughter Spirit plays Christmas songs on the piano in the background. I help my heavily pregnant wife Drizella to put an ornament on the Christmas tree.
Time Period: A Flashback- An Alternate Universe
Place: Francis and Drizella's manor
Situation: Dizzy's birth
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 needles, he spent time with us before returning to Drizella.
Time Period: A Flashback- An Alternate Universe Post Dizzy's birth
Place: Fairyland Land- Rumple and Regina's manor
Special Event: Dizzy's first time at her grandparents' house
Drizella's p.o.v
"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.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe-The Wish Realm
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.
Time Period: A Flashback-An Alternate Universe
Place: The Edge of All Realms
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Date 8-17-2020
Event: A Town Hall Meeting-Spirit's honoring ceremony
Regina's p.o.v
"Please come to the stage, Spirit" I request nicely. Nervously, Spirit approaches the podium. Avalon who continues to be on the mend, presents Spirit with an award. Spirit is totally caught off guard by the huge honor because she has never been recognized before. The audience including her own family claps loudly and proudly. "This special award is for you, Spirit. On behalf of Storybrooke, I thank you for your service. Your healing powers have saved many lives" I praise her. "You are welcome and thank you" Spirit remarks. She takes her seat and the town hall meeting resumes. I catch up with a super glowing Zelena afterwards. "You appear tired. You should go home and rest" she suggests. My eyes fall on a tiny baby bump underneath her clothes. "I am pregnant with my second child. I am due in April" she informs me. "I am going to be an auntie again for the third or fourth time!" happily, I exclaim.
Date: Still 8-17-2020
Rumple's p.o.v
Patiently, I wait for my family outside City Hall. "Papa!" Solomon squeals leaving the building with Regina and Avalon. I gather my little prince up in my arms. He rests his head on my chest. I hand him off to Avalon so that I may talk to Regina privately. "Regina Baby I love you but I have to go" I tell her upfront.
Place: The Edge of All Realms aka the Afterlife
Belle's p.o.v
Rumple exits time bubble and we exchange one long passionate kiss. Hand in hand, we cross over the bridge leading to our cottage. Neal and Gideon are busy with their own private worlds. Only Rumple matters to me at this moment. He holds the front door open for me. We collapse on the couch. "OH, my sweet Belle. I am sorry for delaying my return. Storybrooke especially Regina wouldn't let me go" Rumple apologizes. "Rumple, I understand. The magic crystal ball allowed me to witness everything you experienced in Storybrooke" I drop on my husband. "I bet you resent me for sleeping with Regina" Rumple assumes. "I did see you and Regina have sex. I forgive you" I admit. "Although Regina and I share children, our sexual intercourse means nothing to me" Rumple reinforces as if I didn't believe him. "You are home and mine now. I love you. I have a gift for you in our bedroom" I seduce him. It doesn't take Rumple long to figure out what I want.
Time Period: The Edge of All Realms (aka Heaven)

Rumple's p.o.v
Belle presents me with a delicious birthday cake. "Happy birthday" Belle, Neal, and Gideon sing to me. "Thanks" I express with hugs and kisses. I blow out my candles and then Belle cuts the cake. She gives cake slices to Neal, Gideon, and me. "Dizzy celebrated her sixteenth birthday yesterday. Your earthly birthday is December21" Belle reminds me. "She is surely my legacy" I reflect.
