Time Period: The Edge of All Realms
Rumple's p.o.v
"Come here, buddy" I entice my son grabbing for his hand. I lead eight year old son to a
Nearby river. I give him a fishing pole. "Papa, are we going to fish?" excited, he asks me.
"Yes" I chuckle pulling out my own fishing pole.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe-The Edge of All Realms
Regina's p.o.v
Joyfully, Solomon runs into the cottage. Carrying a bucket full of dead fish, Rumple trails behind
Solomon. "Mommy, Papa and I went fishing. I caught a fish" Solomon boasts as he shows me his
bucket. "Congratulations. I am happy for you" I praise my son. "Thanks" my son smiles really big.
There is a twinkle in his pretty brown eyes. "I am hungry. The fish will make a wonderful snack"
Avalon sarcastically remarks. "You will not eat Solomon's fish. That fish is for him only. You can eat
the fish that I caught" Rumple bargains with our daughter.
Time Period: A Flashback
Regina's p.o.v
His heart races when I enter his shop. He wonders if he has broken any rules. My answer is
no. I want a kiss instead of a favor from him. Once buried feelings of mine now rise to the
surface. He rubs my stomach and his power flows through me like an electric shock. I
claim I feel movement, perhaps a growing fetus. He is completely blown away. He never
wanted me to get pregnant.
Rumple's p.o.v
Glowing, Regina enters my shop. "It is a boy" she reveals showing me the sonogram picture. I am
am super duper happy. "I am going to have another son. Dearie, that's really good news"
I express with much joy and delight. "What shall we name our son?" Regina wonders rubbing
her twenty week old baby bump. "Solomon sounds like a strong name. His name can be Solomon"
I suggest.
Time Period: A Possible Reality
Regina's p.o.v
The baby monitor breaks through the foggy mist, my dream world. I rush over to the nursery where
Solomon is throwing a big fit. I am currently pregnant with my son. I sing and rock him back to
sleep in my fantasy. He cooperates with me very well. Rumple and I didn't plan for Solomon, but we
love him anyway. Avalon has been a wonderful big sister.
Time Period: A Flashback-Regina's miscarriage with Solomon
Regina's p.o.v
While taking a stroll with Avalon through Storybrooke, I started to experience complications with the pregnancy. I was twenty weeks along. Avalon took me to Rumple's pawn
shop. She hoped he could heal me or simply provide shelter until the storm passed over. I slept on a cot in the backroom while Avalon and Rumple looked for a magical
potion. I heard them having an intense discussion with Belle. Belle's yelling awakened me. This served as my signal to leave the shop. Avalon accompanied me to my office
and then she went off her merry way. Light bleeding and painful cramps prevented me from reading and signing important documents. I didn't know if I was experiencing a
miscarriage or preterm labor. These symptoms were not normal in this stage of twenty weeks. I laid down on a couch hoping these symptoms would pass.
Feeling lightheaded, I contacted 911. Somehow I sent Rumple a help me text too. Adding to my distress, Rumple's mother and her evil minions show up.
Coldhearted, they assaulted me. I felt my soul and unborn son slipping away. Hope, in the form of a prayer and kiss, resurrected me. "Regina" a soothing male
voice whispered. "Rumple?" my spirit responded walking toward the light. The light revealed a hospital recovery room. Solemn, my family and Doctor Whale
stood around my bed. "You were attacked. You had a miscarriage. Your son, Solomon whom you carried for almost twenty weeks died" Doctor Whale informed
me. Speechless, I was completely numb. An emergency D&C gave Rumple, Avalon, and me an opportunity to bond with Solomon briefly. Upon my request,
Rumple sent Solomon to a new different realm. Little Boy Blue aka our sweet Solomon loved his new home in which was Old McDonald's Farm.
Rumple's p.o.v
Regina dreaded returning home without Solomon. She headed straight for the bed where she cried
herself to sleep. Apart of herself had died. She neglected Avalon and me. If I wasn't Avalon's
primary care provider then I would be stuck in a dark state of mind. I would spend my days
mourning over my two dead sons, Baelfire and Solomon. While Regina recuperated, we threw away
the baby stuff. The gang was kind enough to visit us. They brought over food and household
supplies. I was happy to see Regina interacting with the outside world again. Away from view,
my other son Gideon kidnapped Avalon.
Regina's p.o.v
"Hello, Regina and Mr. Gold" cheerfully, Archie greets us. Rumple and I sit far apart on the couch in
his office. "I don't do therapy, but I trust you" I inform Archie. "Well ok thanks" Archie responds.
"I am here to support Regina" Rumple adds. Gradually, my life becomes an open book. It feels
strange and yet comforting for me to discuss my miscarriage. Archie and Rumple are
understanding and compassionate.
Rumple's p.o.v
"Who is Solomon?" Belle interrogates me. She discovered a blue baby blanket among the dirty
clothes in the laundry room. "I don't know a Solomon" I lie hoping she will get off my case. "You
are shaky. That means you are lying" she observes. "The blue baby blanket was apart of the
faux pregnancy. Regina was attacked and miscarried our son Solomon. I don't know how his
blanket ended up at our house" I confess.
Regina's p.o.v
The doorbell rings and I answer the door. Avalon trails right behind me. "I believe this baby blanket
belongs to you" Rumple offers handing me a blanket. The name Solomon is stitched neatly on the
fabric. I remember I miscarried our son Solomon. Solomon was wrapped in this blanket when a
nurse presented him to me.
Regina's p.o.v
The forest contains a magical portal, unknown to most, except for Avalon and me. We have brought
Solomon's baby blanket with us just in case. The portal reveals a farm that is located in the middle
of nowhere. We assume this is Old McDonald's farm. We approach Little Boy Blue who is fast
asleep in a haystack. Avalon's sneezing awakes him. He stares at us blankly instead of crying.
He has Rumple's eyes, but I am hesitant to claim him as our son.
Rumple's p.o.v
Angry, my wife storms into my shop. Her body language reads "you are the one at fault here".
Quickly, I hide my precious sweet boy Solomon in the back. We have just only reconnected.
"Hello, dearie" I greet Belle who is on the brink of a breakdown. "How many other children do you
have with Regina that I don't know about?" Belle demands. "Besides Ava and Solomon, Regina and
I have no other children" I answer her. "You belong to me and not them" she emphasizes. "Belle,
you are my soul mate. You have been a wonderful wife and mother to Gideon. I don't love Regina,
but she is the mother of my children. The same goes with Milah" I assure my wife. "I love you,
Rumple" Belle confesses from the bottom of her heart. She is kind enough to spend time with
Solomon and me.
Regina's p.o.v
I walk into my office and discover Rumple sitting at my desk. "Hello, deary" Rumple greets me.
"You have your shop. This is my office and not your man cave" I remind him. "You wouldn't have
your current position, being the mayor of Storybrooke, if wasn't for me" Rumple argues. "I don't
have time for your criticism . How may I help you?" I ask as nicely as possible. "I took our children
to school. I was getting bored at my shop. I wanted to see how you were doing?" he admits. "I am
great. Thanks for checking up on me" I state. I spot a little sorrow in his pretty brown eyes. "This is
the first time that I have been in your office since your attack and miscarriage with Solomon. You
almost died back then. I blamed my mother for your affliction " choked up, he recounts. "I am alive
right now. All is well with our family" I assure him. He offers me a red apple and kiss on the cheek
then he leaves. Apart of myself feels he is keeping a very dark secret. I track him down in the
hallway. "You are not a coward" these words catch him by surprise. "You are not evil" he discloses
closing the door behind him.
