Time Period: A Flashback

Time Period: Nighttime at The Charmings' Castle

Event: Spirit's birth in a bathtub

Princess Emma's p.o.v

My screams sound like sharp fingernails scratching a chalkboard. I reach underneath my dress

in preparation to catch the baby who is six weeks early. The baby will be born in my bathtub tonight.

It is what it is. "You got this, love" Killian says inside my mind. We haven't been allowed to see each

other because my parents believe he is a bad influence on me. He is a pirate and I am a princess

afterall. My parents have overlooked the fact that I am carrying his baby. Anyhow, here I am now

giving birth all alone without any help. Nobody except for me is awake in the palace. I am knocking

on death's door. I use my remaining strength to bring forth my firstborn. I am hemorraghing, but it

is all in the name of love. Losing consciousness, I don't have a real good strong grip on her. She hits

her head against the bathtub by accident.


Time Period: The Present Reality

"She is distant. How long has she been this way?" I ask my husband during a stroll through our

courtyard. We observe Alice, Ellie, and little Killian play with Collin. "By her, do you mean Spirit?" he

wonders. "Yes" I answer him.
