Time Period: A Flashback

Event: A Gender Reveal Party

Regina's p.o.v

A gigantic horse piñata hangs from a tree in the backyard. Rumple and I already know the gender.

We hope the pinata's design doesn't give it away. Blindfolded, Avalon keeps on missing the piñata .

"I can't do this because I can't see anything" my daughter complains. "You can do this. You must

keep on trying" Rumple encourages her. Eventually, Avalon does tear open the pinata. She is caught

off guard by the blue confetti. She never expected to have a baby brother.


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.

"How are you doing?" he asks laying down beside me in bed. I don't know why he is talking in a whisper. He wraps his arms tightly around my waist.

"I am fine" I lie through my tears. "The miscarriage wasn't your fault" he comforts me. "If it isn't my fault then who can I blame?" I

wonder. "You can blame my mother Fiona and her evil minions. They attacked you" he reveals.


Time Period: The Present Reality

Regina's p.o.v

You are so cute and cool. You are a rare precious gem. Goodnight for now, my little blue boy blue.

You don't have a clue about how the real world works. You don't have a clue how much I dread

telling you goodbye.
