*About 7 Months Ago*
"Gold!" Regina shouted as they entered his shop.
"What is it, dearie?"
"What's happening?"
"You know very well what's happening. I tried to warn ya. But you don't like to listen, do you?"
"Regina, what is he talking about?" Mary Margaret asked. Regina tried to hold her ground.
"I have no idea." She answered.
"No. Actually. You do." Mr. Gold said. "You could've prevented all of this if you had just taken my advice."
"Regina, what is going on?" Emma asked.
"What was that earthquake? Or whatever it was?" David wondered.
"The beginning of the end." Mr. Gold answered.
"What?" The three Charmings said in unison.
"The destruction of Storybrooke." Rumple said. "It's how the curse works. Tell me, have you all accepted the fact that Mr. Nolan here, is the father of her unborn child?"
"Yes. We have." Snow answered skeptically. "But what does that have to do with anything?"
"Why don't you tell them, Your Majesty?"
There was a long pause as they waited.
"Regina?" Emma tried to get her to answer.
There was no response.
"If you ruin the product of the Dark Curse and the product of the true love that broke it, then the town will be destroyed." The imp finally answered for her.
"Seriously?" Said the Savior.
"What?" Her mother exclaimed.
"And you knew this?" Emma asked Regina.
Again, the mayor did not answer.
"Oh, she knew very well." Gold said.
David couldn't say anything. He just stared at Regina.
"You put the whole town at risk?" Emma said to her.
"Well, I wasn't expecting you to be so accepting to your father and I's relationship." Regina snapped. "Besides, I tried to end it. I got pregnant, and he found out. After that, I found it harder to make him leave. Then he went under the sleeping curse and I kissed him just to see if he was my true love. It turned out, he was." She weakly smiled at Charming, who was still too shocked to process everything.
"Is there a way to stop it?" Emma asked Rumpelstiltskin.
"No. The only way to stop it, is to fix what was broken."
"That would mean that David and I would have to stop seeing eachother." Regina replied sadly.
"Out of the question!" David snapped.
"Then the town, will be destroyed." Rumple said.
As the Charmings and Regina left, the owner of the shop heard Emma exclaim frustratedly outside. "Ugh! What are we gonna do?" Their voices drifted as they crept farther and farther away from the door.
He sighed. "Finally, some peace and quiet."
Suddenly, he heard a thump in the back of the office and sighed once more, this time in annoyance. He walked back, hoping that maybe it would just be Belle, coming in to question all of the violent shakes throughout town. Unfortunately, he saw nothing and he grew suspicious. He began to look around, but everything seemed to be in place.
He returned to the front of the shop and realized that there was a sort of difference to the atmosphere. He stood in the middle of the room and slowly turned while carefully examining everything in sight. Suddenly, he stopped seeing something rather odd. Something he recognized, but did not recall having it in his shop. He had given it to someone back in fairytale land and he was completely unsure of how he magically seemed to own it in Storybrooke. Wait! That's it! Magic!
"Come out, come out wherever you are." His playful Enchanted Forest imp voice showed through the way he sang those words."I know that you're in here and I know who you are."
Finally, the hiding girl came out from behind a wardrobe and she looked as though she had just come from a brawl due to the dirt she had all over her and her messed up hair.
"Well hello...Jasmine."
She seemed frightened and her voice shook. "Ho-How do you know my name?"
"Let's just say, I'm a friend of the family. Although, it was your father that I was expecting to see."
"Wh-Why?"
"Because I gave him this carpet, many many years ago." He pointed to the 'elephant' in the room that made him realize something wasn't right when he saw it.
Suddenly, the Earth moved and a few small things fell off of their shelf.
"What was that?" The nervous teen asked.
"You've come to the wrong place at the wrong time, dearie. This world, unfortunately, is near to its end. And it's a shame, you'd just arrived."
"But, whe- where am I?"
"The town that your mother, Regina created and ironically, is destroying."
"My mother? You mean, I've finally found her?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes."
The girl smiled. She had traveled so many lands just to find one person who had created her and another to become her true love. To her relief, she had finally found one of them. She's had no luck finding a true love yet, but she felt that her luck was beginning to turn.
"Where did you come from, dearie? You look a little...worn out."
"I just escaped death." She smiled at the thought, but still remained afraid that she had been followed there.
"Sorry to tell you that you might not escape it in this land."
The ground shook once more and they held on to whatever was near by to stay balanced.
"What's going on here?" Jasmine asked after this shake was over, longer than the last one.
"Well, your mother believed that she found her true love and she felt that her world had finally fallen into place. Only to find out that her world would soon be falling...apart. Her lover is unfortunately married to Snow White, your half stepsister, and they were the product of your mother's curse. The curse that created this town. And because of your mother's recent love affair to the prince, the curse was destroyed, taking the town down with it. With everyone in it."
"That's a lot to take in." She thought out loud.
"Anyway, maybe you should go find her. Don't really have much time before we all die in order for you to have a little mother-daughter time."
"Maybe I can help." She offered.
"With the curse? I'm afraid that's impossible."
"I have magic." She smiled.
"So do I. It's not that you can't help, it's that you won't be able to. Nothing and no one can stop this but your mother."
"Maybe I can go talk to her."
"I'm afraid your mother's not too easy to persuade. Besides, her pregnancy hormones may be another obstacle."
"Pregnant? She's having a baby?" She immediately regretted coming here. She was going to ruin everything, just like she always does. And now her mother was having another baby and she suddenly felt unimportant.
"Yes. That's another reason the town will be destroyed. Snow White's prince is the father of their love child."
"I must be able to do something. I can make a wish." She wanted to help. She needed to help. She had to be important.
"Sorry, but now's not the time for making wishes."
"No, no. That's my power. I make a wish and I can make it come true."
"Right...daughter of a genie. What's the catch? Magic always comes with a price."
"I've learned on my journeys that I can only make a wish if it benefits others and not myself."
"That could put a damper on the whole power, couldn't it?" He mumbled.
They were hit by another aftershock and Belle stumbled into the shop as his little bell on the front door jingled upon her entrance and the shaking.
