I've been gone for so long I can barely say. All I know now is I want to stay -The Fray, I Can Barely Say

Rumple's p.o.v

"According to the news, a pregnant woman and her son were robbed and attacked in a parking lot

today. Raven's murderer, the man in the black hoody harmed them" Avalon recounts sobbing over

dinner. Regina gives our daughter a nice big tight hug. "Emily and Killian Snow were the names of

the mother and son. Rogers and I visited them at the hospital. Despite their injuries, they are doing

fine" I assure them. "Papa, why must we experience pain and loss?" Solomon asks breaking my

heart. "I can barely say why" my voice cracks. "Raven's family needs peace. We all need peace.

I demand justice right now" Regina stresses. "Please be patient. Obtaining justice is not an easy

task" I advise her. "Sure" my wife sighs heavily. "Emma is alive. Emily Snow is her new identity

in this world" I reveal. I lift her spirits up some.
