Rumple's p.o.v

She wraps her arms tighter around me. I kiss her forehead and stroke her hair. "You are such a

Daddy's girl" I tease Avalon. "I am glad you came to bid me tonight. I thank you for your time and

attention" she validates me. "I remember when you were a mere bean aka a five week fetus.

Wherever has the time gone to?" I reminiscence.


Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Rumple's Manison

"Rumple, I need a magical potion for morning sickness" nauseous, Regina requests. I offer her a pot

to vomit in. "Morning sickness is a sign of a healthy fetus" I guess. "I don't agree with you" she

disagrees chewing on a breath mint. "You are five weeks along. You still have along way to go

before giving birth" I calculate touching her stomach. "Our daughter might be born on your

birthday, December 21" she predicts. "How do you know December 21 is my birthday?" I test her.

"You mentioned your birthday in one of our previous conversations" she recalls. "You are a very

good listener" I compliment her.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Rumple's p.o.v

From upstairs, Avalon watches me bid farewell to Regina, Robin, and Solomon. "Daddy, please don't

leave" Solomon begs me. "Please continue to be a good little boy for Robin and your mom" I

request nicely. "I will" he promises with a hug. Wordlessly, Regina and Robin allow me to return

home back to my beloved Belle.

Rumple's p.o.v

"Rumple, I thank you for helping me in the library today. You have been a wonderful replacement for

Nave" Belle compliments me. "No problem. It has been my pleasure" I agree. "Nave wasn't able to

come to work today because he wanted to be with Sabrine. They were having their first ultrasound"

Belle informs me. "How far along is she?" I wonder. "My wife is five weeks along!" ecstatic, Nave

shouts startling us. We rejoice in his good news.
