Time Period: A Flashback-Avalon's birth-A Home birth
Rumple's p.o.v
The contractions have such a strong hold on Regina that she fears death is near. These labor pains,
occuring two months early, have caught us off guard. We didn't expect for our daughter to come so
soon. I don't know anyone who is a midwife. Regina doesn't mind if I am her laboring and birthing
coach. "Rumple, you can remarry if I don't survive my ordeal" she instructs me. "You are not going to
die. Your pain is temporary. You will have a future, one that includes Avalon and me" I assure her.
Time Period: A Flashback-Storybrooke After Avalon's disappearance
Rumple's p.o.v
She gave me an ultimatum. She wanted me to leave Storybrooke or divorce her. Although I loved
her, I had to let her go. Even as I signed the divorce papers, I felt broken and empty inside.
I sensed she was not fine at all. She pretended to be okay. I visited her house after she left my pawn
shop with the divorce papers. I discovered her resting in bed with a bottle of pills. She hated me
for being noisy. To hurt me further, she said she just underwent a medicated abortion. She was
pregnant with my baby.
Time Period: A Flashback -Prelude to Regina's miscarriage with Solomon
Rumple's p.o.v
Belle noticed Regina sleeping on a cot in the backroom of my shop. Rage stirred within her. "Why is
Regina sleeping on a cot in your backroom?" my wife demanded to know. Although it was an
immaculate conception, Belle treated the situation as if I cheated on her. Avalon
rushed to my defense immediately. "We were taking a stroll through town when she started to
experience pain, complications with the pregnancy. I brought my mom to the shop hoping Papa
could heal her" Ava explains. "If Regina was in pain, she should've went to the hospital.
You and Rumple have just made her situation worse. She could lose the baby even at this
stage, twenty weeks" Belle reprimanded us. Her yelling awakened Regina who felt a little bit
better.

I am thankful I can return back home to her. She pulls me in for a kiss. I can absolutely feel her love
for me.
