Time Period: A Flashback

Event: Raven's premature birth

Place: A bedroom in Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen's palace

Princess Tiana's p.o.v

Frantically, Naveen rushes to my bedside. He holds my hand very tightly. I don't want my husband to

see me in pain, but I love having him near. My mom allows him to stay in the room. "I heard you

were in premature labor" Naveen says with panic in his voice. "I am indeed in premature labor. I

can't stop it because the baby wants to be born right now" I confirm his worst fears. The urge to

push takes over soon enough. My mom and husband support me through the difficult

emotional delivery. We name our precious miracle baby Raven. My good friend and fellow

expectant mother, Regina sent me a mirror as a baby shower gift. I have used this mirror

as a communicating device especially for today's special event. Usually, I can get ahold of

Regina who lIves in Avalon with Rumple. Rumple congratulates me on Regina's behalf because

she has gone into preterm labor.


Time Period: An Alternate Universe

Date: 10-28-2000

Tiana's p.o.v (as a 20 year old)

The first part of my labor started at home. I was unloading the dishwasher when I was hit with a

really strong contraction. This contraction led to more painful intense contractions. My screams

and broken glass sent Nave and Mother running downstairs. They took me to the hospital

asap. We were very worried because the baby was arriving two months early. Raven's original due

date was December 20th. The doctor broke my bag of water at the hospital. My amniotic fluid was

green instead of clear. This was was a sign of fetal distress. Before an emergency cesarean

section could be performed, I gave birth naturally. Nave and Mother offered me support during

the emotional tough delivery. The NICU became Raven's second permanent home. We met a

friendly couple, The Gold's here. Their daughter Avalon was born one day after Raven.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Place: Tiana and Jacinda's workplace

Tiana's p.o.v

I am in the very early stages of my pregnancy. I am five weeks along. I am not in the "safe zone"

quite yet. The safe zone is considered to be twelve weeks along or beyond. If not careful, I can lose

the baby at anytime. Jacinda knows the state of my condition. She handles the customers while I

do the accounting stuff. Nave checks on me occasionally via a phone call or a text message.
