Time Period: A Flashback

Place: The Hospital Waiting Room

Rumple's p.o.v

"Avalon's heart failed her again. She is gone for good this time. My team and I did everything that

we could for her" Chloe informs us. She does a good job of hiding her emotions. I bet she never

expected for her patient and best friend to die. Meanwhile, I am torn asunder. My heart falls flat on

the floor. My child is dead! I can't believe I am going through this again. I love children, but what is

the point of having them if I keep on losing them? Belle helps me regain my balance and sanity.

Regina and Solomon stand still trying to possess what just happen. I don't want them to see me cry

so I try to hold it together. Sensing I may need some tender loving care, Belle takes me home asap.

Away from the eyes of the world, I allow myself to mourn. Belle holds me tight and whispers sweet

lovely things.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: The Cemetery

Rumple's p.o.v

My daughter has a tombstone. It is surreal and yet feels very real. I spend my time talking to both

Baelfire and her. I can feel their spirits here with me. They are still alive inside my heart and mind.
