Rumple's p.o.v

Merry, Regina and I have just returned home from Drizella's Valentine Day party. I am already

in the mood for a deep heart to heart talk. Regina, Avalon, and I gather around the dinner table.

"As much as it pains me, I must tell you this" I share with Avalon. Ava's pretty brown eyes grow big

with worry. "Are you dying?" choked up, she asks me. "No. I am not dying, princess" I correct her.

Ava is not my child so I don't understand why I called her princess. "That's good" Ava smiles

melting my heart. "The main purpose for this conversation is to discuss your origins" I admit.

"My origins?!" Ava gasps in shock. Regina pulls me aside before I can tell her the truth. "Hades

raped me seventeen years ago. The penetration was never complete because my body rejected

it. Avalon is your true birth daughter. She came out of the womb looking like you" Regina reveals

at last. This a real bittersweet moment for me. I am happy to be Avalon's father. Apart of me

wants to kill Hades because he raped Regina.
