Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Avalon-Rumple and Regina's Cottage
Regina's p.o.v
While Rumple was out and about, a red-haired blind witch visited our cottage. She startled me
and scared me very much. I was sitting in a rocking chair and sewing a pink baby blanket for my
unborn daughter at the time. The situation almost sent me into preterm labor. I refused to give
birth two months early. The witch hinted at a possible premature birth or death in the near future.

Special Event: Avalon's premature home birth (two months early)
Exhausted, I fell back on my pillow. "Push again, Regina. You can do this" Rumple encouraged me.
Since we didn't have time to find a midwife, he was my labor and birthing coach. I bled, screamed,
cried, and pushed until I felt a great release. Ava's arrival brought Rumple and me closer.
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.

Place: Storybrooke-Regina's house-The Den
"You are going to be a big sister" Rumple and I announced to our teenage daughter Avalon. Avalon was amused and yet confused. "You two are divorced. How can you have
a baby?" she asked us. "Sometimes divorced couples such as your mom and me can have fun" Rumple explained. "We didn't makeout. All you did was touch my stomach. I
became pregnant immediately. We are having a magical baby" I corrected him. "Avalon was a magical baby" he reminiscence. "I'm not human" Avalon chuckled. "Your dad
sped up the pregnancy. I am already fourteen weeks along. The baby will be here before we know it. We must prepare for its arrival asap" I stressed.

Scenario: After Solomon's conception
Place: Belle's Workplace-The Library
Rumple's p.o.v
"Guess what I found on the shelf" Belle teases me. "What to expect when you are expecting" I gather from reading the book cover. "Maybe I should give t
his book to Regina since she is pregnant now. I thought she was barren. It is miracle that she has a conceived a baby" Belle reflects. "Regina's pregnancy is
a miracle" I agree. "Who is the baby's father?" Belle wonders. She doesn't know I impregnated Regina. It was an immaculate conception as a matter of fact.
"Why does the identity of Regina's baby matters?" I ask. This question makes my wife suspicious. "Are you the father of Regina's baby?" she demands. "Yes.
I did impregnate Regina. It was an immaculate conception. We didn't have sex. All I did was touch her stomach. She became pregnant immediately. It was
an accident" I confess truthfully. Angry, Belle kicks me out of the bookstore asap. Belle's temporary silence and absence from my life hurt more than her
actual words. She forgives both Regina and me eventually.

Place: A Hospital in Storybrooke
Situation: An Ultrasound test
Regina's p.o.v
"This is your baby at twenty weeks" Doctor Whale shows me. Rumple is not here to share in this
happy moment with me and that is okay. Just as when I begin to think I don't matter to Rumple
anymore, he shows up. "Hello, Mr. Gold" Doctor Whale addresses Rumple. "I am aware that the
mayor, Ms. Mills is pregnant. As an elder of the community, it is my job to look after her" Rumple
informs Doctor Whale. "Well ok" Doctor Whale chuckles. "The baby is developing quite well" Rumple
observes looking at the screen. "Definitely" I agree with him. Doctor Whale gives us two separate
copies of the sonogram. We bid him farewell and then go on our merry way. Rumple escorts me
to my car. He presents me with a beautiful blue baby blanket. Belle and him made this blanket for
my son Solomon. I thank Rumple with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
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 Flashback-The Day of The Miscarriage
Rumple's p.o.v
A loud feminine wail and scream frightens me. Nevertheless I welcome the chaos into my shop.
Disorienatated, Regina throws herself at me. I can feel her pain and sorrow. I can sense her starting
to slip away. "I am bleeding. I am having cramps. Something is wrong with the baby" distraught, she
informs me. Avalon echoes Regina's distress. "You look unwell. How may I help you?" I ask her. "You
can provide me with a remedy" she orders. "Avalon and I will look for a remedy if you rest on a
cot in the backroom" I bargain wth her.
Time Period: A Flashback-The miscarriage
Place: The Hospital
Regina's p.o.v
The doctor couldn't detect a fetal heartbeat. The doctor declared the baby to be dead. He has given me tablets that will stimulate my cervix. I must wait before I can undergo
surgery. I feel as if I am in actual labor. Ava and Rumple have been helping me with random breathing exercises. Unable to carry my own weight, I fall to my knees. I try my
best to keep my legs closed so the dead fetus may not fall out. Avalon helps me back into the bed. "It hurts!" I sob heavily and uncontrollably into Rumple's arms. "Keep on
inhaling and exhaling" he instructs me. "I am feeling pressure down below" I complain. "I am going to get Doctor Whale. I will be right back" he notifies Avalon and me.
"Please hurry up" desperately, I beg him. True to his word, Rumple comes back with Doctor Whale. Doctor Whale examines me and concludes I am ready for the D&C
procedure. Avalon waits in the lobby while Rumple and I get her baby brother. During surgery my body is completely numb so that I may feel no pain. "Regina, I know your
body is numb. You need to give me one push" Doctor Whale instructs me. When the moment was right, I push Solomon from my womb. I work against Doctor Whale's
instruments that are inside my body. Rumple squeezes my hand very tightly. His love and kindness replace my dark thoughts. "Your son, Solomon is here" Doctor Whale
announces to us. We cherish whatever remains of our once thriving fetus.

Place: The Hospital
Scenario: Regina's Miscarriage
Rumple's p.o.v
A nurse wraps Solomon up in a blue blanket. Regina and I bond with him briefly. Regina
refuses to bury Solomon in my family burial plot. She has me to send him to a different
realm where he can live happily as a normal little boy. I drop him off at Old McDonald's
farm. Our dear sweet Solomon aka Little Boy Blue loves his new home.
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.
Scenario: A Family Picnic in The Park
Regina's p.o.v
Today is beautiful especially for a family picnic in the park. Perfect harmony and unity, is this what
heaven will look like? Maybe I am close to my happy ending.
Rumple's p.o.v
Scenario: Rumple and Regina observe their children enjoy the playground
"I am the dark one" I remind Regina. "You are the former dark one" she corrects me. "Ava and
Solomon are good right now. Will they end up evil like me?" I wonder. "They are slightly dark. They
are not too far gone" she assures me.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Regina's p.o.v
You don't want the gift of my friendship. You are fine with that chip on your shoulder. I slip back
into the shadows of your mind. I'll cherish what I still have left.
