Time Period: A Flashback

Place: The Enchanted Forest

Regina's p.o.v

"I am pregnant" I announce to Rumple during dinner at his mansion one evening. Shocked, Rumple almost falls out of his chair. "How can you be sure that I am the

baby's father?" he questions me. "You are the only person that I have been with. The oracle confirmed my pregnancy" I confess. "I am your teacher. You are my

student. I can't have a family with you. Why did you decide to visit an oracle?" Rumple pressures me. "I visited an oracle because I wanted to know

about my future. The oracle knew I was pregnant before I knew I was expecting. She said our daughter Avalon would bring joy to our lives" I recount.


Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Avalon

Regina's p.o.v

Depressing, the outside world smells of death. Safe at home, I do my own share of bleeding. Rumple helps me with bringing Ava into the world. "Stop pushing!" he

instructs me. "Why?" I wonder holding tightly onto rosary beads. "The umbilical cord is stuck around Ava's neck" he informs me. "Take the cord off her neck" I

command him. Luckily, he manages to cut off the umbilical cord. Relieved, we embrace our silent little angel.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Story Brooke

Regina's p.o.v

As mayor of Story Brooke, it is my job to stay alert twenty four seven. Rumple claimed to have seen our long lost daughter in his store. I didn't believe him until

I saw the security tape. The teenage girl on the video resembled me greatly. Besides Rumple, I wanted everybody else in the town to keep a close eye on her

and provide a daily status update.
