Time Period: A Flashback
Place: The Enchanted Forest
Rumple's p.o.v
A portal transported my son Bae to a different realm. I should've held onto him much longer and
tighter. I had lost my daughter in the same way years earlier. I failed as a father and human being.
My second wife Milah was right about me all along. I sought the evil queen aka Regina
for help. "Here we are in another realm and you lost another child. First there was Ava
and now this, Bae. How many more realms will I have to create? " She confronts me. "I apologize
for bothering you, but I need your help to find Bae. I can't locate him" I persist. "Our mission here
in this realm, the enchanted forest was to look for Ava. It appears you don't care about her
anymore. You had no right to marry Milah, but I will help you to locate Bae" Regina promises.
I thank my former lover and star pupil with a hug. Her locator spell tracks Bae in two
different places, Neverland and then New York. "I must be with Bae. Please take me to him" I
order Regina. "Light and darkness can't coexist. Your son is better off without you" she tells me.

"I am the dark one" I remind Regina. "You are the former dark one" she corrects me. "Ava and
Solomon are good right now. Will they end up evil like me?" I wonder. "They are slightly dark. They
are not too far gone" she assures me.
