Time Period: A Flashback

Rumple's p.o.v

I consider my shop to be my home, but it is not an actual house. As for now, Gideon and I are

living at Belle's house. Since there is no room left in the house for Avalon, she resides with

Regina. I trust Regina to take care of our daughter. I entrusted her with my grandson Henry

a long time ago. She has been a wonderful adoptive mother to him. Anyhow, Avalon is showing

off her room to me at this present moment. She and Regina put forth a lot of hardwork into the

room decor. I offer my daughter a teddy bear as a gift. Avalon places the teddy bear on her bed.

She expresses her gratitude with a hug and kiss.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Rumple's p.o.v

My presence startles Regina who is busy with cleaning out Avalon's bedroom. "Rumple" solemn,

she acknowledges me. "Let me help you" I offer and she doesn't argue with me. "We put a lot of

hardwork into the room decor. It's sad that I will have to take down everything" she cries. "I am

sorry, dearie" I console her. A hug, not a kiss, will be enough for me until otherwise. Solomon

loves seeing us getting along.
