Time Period: A Flashback-After Rumple's Death and Before Regina casts a curse in the series finale
Place: Hyperion Heights-Outside Roni's
Regina's p.o.v
Riding on Zelena's bicycle, Solomon makes out my shape in the darkness. I step out of the
shadows so he can see me more clearly. "Mommy" my son addresses me. My heart melts
like ice cream in his arms. He absorbs my warm body heat. "Papa is not with you" he observes.
"Come on, honey, let's go inside. A storm is coming" I instruct him. Obediently, Solomon stops
riding his bicycle and seeks shelter. Zelena and Avalon are super happy to see us. "Regina, you put
me in charge. I should've supervised Solomon as he rode my bicycle" Zelena apologizes. "I forgive
you. I understand that you were distracted. There is a far more pressing urgent matter at hand"
choked up, I stress. Heaven begins to cry as I struggle to form my next sentence. Avalon and
Solomon hold their breaths. "Spit it out" an impatient Zelena demands. "Rumple is dead" I
sob breaking their hearts. I can't handle their tears so I leave them alone. Once again, time and
distance creates a gigantic rift between us. I trust Zelena can look after my children in my
absence.
