*Present Day*

David sat in the waiting room of the maternity ward at the hospital while Regina and Olivia were checked for any problems after the birth.

"I'm sorry, but we can't tell you that unless you're family!" David heard a nurse yell at someone down the hallway.

"Just tell me where Regina's room is! Is it really that big of a deal?!"

"Yes! Because you're not-!

"I know, I know….I'm not family….SO WHAT?!"

"Hey, hey. What's going on here?"

The two that were arguing turned abruptly, having not noticed David's approach.

"This…..person-" The nurse put an emphasis on the word 'person' and gestured to the third one standing there. "…..doesn't understand hospital regulations and won't stop nagging me about where a certain patient's room is."

The nurse ignored the glare she was getting.

"I can take it from here, Nurse. Thank you."

"Sir, I-"

"It's okay. I've got it." David reassured her and he put his arm around the other, leading them toward the bench he had been sitting at, while the nurse was keeping an eye on them.

David sat down, gesturing to the seat next to him. The girl took the seat and tried avoiding eye contact.

"Why did you want to know where Regina's room is? Do you know her?" David asked.

"Yes. And she called me to come see her. I was supposed to be with her when Olivia was born."

David was now confused. She knew about Olivia?

"Ho-How do you know Regina?" David finally managed to ask.

"We're friends. I'm also going to be Olivia's babysitter."

David just stared at the girl and slightly nodded, still confused at the situation.

"Who are you?" the girl finally asked, remembering her own curiosity.

"I'm David. I-"

"YOU'RE David?" The girl asked.

"Y-Yes?" David said, even more confused.

The girl smiled.

"I-"She began to speak, but Dr. Whale returned from Regina's room and they both stood.

"They're both doing just fine." Victor smiled.

"When can we see them?" the girl asked. David looked at her as if she stole the words right out of his mouth.

"You can go right in." Victor gestured toward the door.

They found Regina sitting up in the hospital bed, Olivia in her arms. She looked up and smiled at the sight of the girl that entered the room with David.

"Hey." The girl said in a high pitched voice.

David watched as the girl pretty much joined Regina and the baby on the bed. He smiled as he watched Olivia's wide eyes stay fixed on the girl making baby noises at her.

"I think she likes you." Regina smiled at her. "She knows how absolutely beautiful you are."

"None of that is true. For one, newborn babies can't see more than about 6 to 8 inches in front of them, and two….I'm not that beautiful." She said while still smiling at the baby and playing with her.

Regina looked at her, disappointedly annoyed and frustrated. David could tell that they have had this conversation before. That's why Regina looked at the girl so angrily, but the girl didn't seem to be too phased as her attention was fixed on the baby girl who had her index finger in a tight grip.

"Can I hold her?" The girl asked.

Regina looked at Dr. Whale, as if to ask his permission. He shot her an approving look and she gently handed the baby to her. The girl bounced as she walked and baby-talked to Olivia. Regina smiled and then looked at David.

"What?" Regina asked, a little embarrassed at his staring at her.

"Nothing." He said softly, but she knew what he really meant and her smile grew as she looked away blushing.

"What's her middle name?" The girl asked, not taking her eyes off of the girl in her arms.

"What?" Regina asked, snapping out of her thoughts.

"Her middle name…what is it?"

"Oh. Ummm…" Regina's smile faded into a look as if she were deciding if she should tell them or not.

"It's…." She hesitated again. "Victoria. Olivia Victoria is her name."

She looked at Whale and gave him a weak smile. She saw what looked like anger in his eyes and he left the room quickly. The girl's attitude changed a little and she gave Olivia back to Regina.

"I-I better get going." The girl said.

"But why?" Regina wondered, feeling ashamed from Victor's reaction.

"I just-I gotta go."

As soon as Olivia was back in Regina's arms and the girl had left, Olivia began to cry. It was as if she knew that the girl was gone. As if she knew her father's emotions were not at ease, due to his confusion. And as if she knew her mother was at a loss for words and on the verge of crying herself.

David stared at the doorway after the girl left and he turned to look back at Regina.

"Olivia Victoria?"

"yes." Regina said awkwardly, still trying to calm Olivia down and avoiding eye contact with David. She knew that he must know now.

"it's pretty." David said, not very sincere.

It was silent for a moment.

"David, I-"

"I guess I better get back to Emma, Henry, and Mary Margaret." He interrupted.

Regina sadly nodded and he turned to leave. Just before he stepped out of the room, he grabbed the door handle and took one last look at her and the baby. Regina was looking down at Olivia and he could see the hurt on her face. He sighed at the sight of Regina being alone again and he sadly looked at the ground as he closed the door behind him.

"Victor! Victor, wait!"

The girl chased after him as he left the hospital back door to the alley outside. He didn't stop so she raised her voice even more.

"Victor!"

He turned abruptly, causing her to almost run into him.

"What?!"

"I-Are you okay?"

He turned back around as if he was going to walk away, even though the alley was a dead end.

"I'm fine. Juuuuuust great!" He said angrily.

"You know that she-"

"I know that she what?!" He turned around once more, this time inches from her face.

"I- I don't know." The girl said, regretting not having an answer.

He looked down at her somewhat nervous face and chuckled. The chuckle made her a bit uncomfortable due to the darkness behind it, but she stood her ground and didn't budge. She looked up into his eyes as he looked down at her mouth. She then gave him a threatening smirk as if she realized something.

"You've got to be kidding me." The girl chuckled herself. Her chuckle was more of a pitiful chuckle.

"What?" He asked her.

"You've been drinking again, haven't you?"

"Now, why would you say that?" He asked, smiling.

"Well-" She began, but was cut off when his lips slammed into hers.

"Victor!"

She slapped him and he stepped back, touching his lips and smiling.

"You have DEFINITELY been drinking. I know you're having a rough time right now, but I won't talk to you like this…..Call me when you're sober." She said, sounding more offended by his actions than angry.

She turned and left the alley, shaking her head as she also put her fingers to her lips, thinking. Tears, almost running down her face. She felt guilty for actually liking the kiss.

"What did I just do?" He asked himself.

He stood alone in the alley for some minutes before going back inside the hospital and finally feeling very ashamed of what he had just done.

*One Week Later*

Regina paced back and forth with the phone at her ear in the nursery after she'd put Olivia in her crib. This was the tenth time this week the phone had gone straight to voicemail. She had called her everyday and no response. Regina was now getting very worried, and she didn't know what to do anymore. She had also tried getting ahold of victor, but he ignored her calls, as she ignored David's calls.

She needed her, but she had no idea where she was. Regina knew that she couldn't get anymore worried than she already was and she was growing anxious. What might've happened? Something bad. She could feel it in her gut.

As much as she wanted to avoid seeing David for right now, she knew she had to inform the sheriff and the town "mayors" of the situation.

David heard the panic of a familiar voice when he walked into the sheriff's station with Mary Margaret. The first thing they saw was the sight of their daughter trying to calm down the former mayor with the baby in her arms.

"Whoa, whoa. What is going on here?" Mary Margaret asked, nervously.

David knew that whatever it was, it was not good because Regina's eyes were red and puffy from tears.

"There's a missing girl." Emma answered. "Well, Regina seems to THINK that she's missing."

"I don't think! I know!" Regina snapped, sounding like her old self again.

"is this the girl that was at the hospital the other day?" David asked. He ignored the look of confusion he was getting from Mary Margaret and the look of suspicion on Emma's face. They must've wondered what HE was doing at the hospital.

"Yes." Regina said, trying to maintain her composure.

"When was the last time you saw her?" Mary Margaret asked.

"THAT was the last time…in the hospital." Regina's eyes welled up again.

"Did she seem….off?" Emma asked.

"Off?" Regina replied.

"You know, upset…or sad….maybe a little scared?"

"I don't know. She left in kind of a hurry, yes, but I couldn't say." She was getting annoyed at all the questions.

"How old is this girl?" Mary Margaret asked.

"I don't know. I never asked. About 16 maybe."

"Maybe she ran away. You know how teenagers can be. Did you say anything to make her wanna run away?"

"What kind of question is that? I'm not the one responsible for her!" she didn't like the accusations.

"Then why are you so concerned?" Emma asked.

"She's my babysitter. But I've been stuck at home for a week, because I haven't been able to get ahold of her."

"You can't just get another babysitt-?"

"No. she's the only person I can trust."

David felt hurt by that. Regina looked at him and she walked up to him. His eyes accidentally fell to the baby in the arms of the woman standing inches in front of him. He tried to hide the fact that he was attached to this baby girl from his wife and daughter.

"David. Please. I know her. She would never run away." She fought back tears. "Please."

David recognized that voice from her. He knew she was truly terrified and concerned for this girl and he trusted his instincts in knowing that something must definitely be wrong.

To find her, they'd need someone specific…..He called Ruby.
