Hold your own, know your name and go your own way and everything will be fine -Jason Mraz, Details in the Fabric

Rumple's p.o.v

Brokenhearted and defeated, she enters my mansion. She runs into my arms. "Regina baby, what is the matter?" I ask touching her cheek. " First there was

Daniel. Now my husband and Snow's father, King Leopold has died. My stepdaughter and I are estranged. I don't know what to do" she sobs heavily. "I can

take care of you" I promise rubbing her stomach. My power runs through her like an electric shock. "My body feels different. I think I may be-" she trails off.

She leaves without giving me the time of day. I remain in denial about her pregnancy until otherwise.


Rumple's p.o.v

"I am pregnant" She announces over dinner at my mansion one evening. Shocked, I almost fall out of my chair. "How can you be sure that I

am the baby's father?" I question her. "You are the only person that I have been with. The oracle confirmed my pregnancy" She confesses. "I am your

teacher. You are my student. I can't have a family with you. Why did you decide to visit an oracle?" I pressure her. "I visited an oracle because I wanted to

know about my future. The oracle knew I was pregnant before I knew I was expecting. She said our daughter Avalon would bring joy to our lives" Regina

recounts.

Rumple's p.o.v

"I can't have this baby. It has become a big burden on me" distraught, she stresses. I offer her a magical potion that can possibly end her pregnancy. "Drink

this magical potion and all your troubles will disappear" I persuade her. "I am not going to kill our baby" she declines quickly. "It is your body. It is your

choice. I thought you wanted to get rid of the baby. It has become a big burden on you. What has changed your mind?" I bring to her attention. "I never

really wanted to have an abortion. I was just testing your loyalty" she admits. "So you are keeping the baby?" I ask. "Yes" Regina smiles making my heart

melt. "I will always love and support you and the baby" I vow.

Place: Rumple's Mansion

"Rumple, I need a magical potion for morning sickness" nauseous, Regina requests. I offer her a pot

to vomit in. "Morning sickness is a sign of a healthy fetus" I guess. "I don't agree with you" she

disagrees chewing on a breath mint. "You are five weeks along. You still have along way to go

before giving birth" I calculate touching her stomach. "Our daughter might be born on your

birthday, December 21" she predicts. "How do you know December 21 is my birthday?" I test her.

"You mentioned your birthday in one of our previous conversations" she recalls. "You are a very

good listener" I compliment her.


Scenario: Doctor Facilier's Residence

Regina's p.o.v

He opens the door and I vomit at his feet. He rushes me quickly inside his little cottage. I lay down

on a nice warm cot. He offers me a peppermint and a cup of water. "You are pregnant with the Dark

One's baby" he reminds me. "I can't have this baby. It is killing me. I want you to get rid of it" I beg

him. "What about the promise you made to him, The Dark One?" he asks. "He will never know about

the abortion" I assure Dr. Facilier. "Do you want to drink a potion or take a pill that can end your

pregnancy?" he offers. I prefer a medicated abortion. My dumb foolish drugged up

self thinks it is a good idea to go back home. Dr. Facilier doesn't accompany me to the Dark Castle.

A huge heated argument with mother causes me to lose the baby for good. She doesn't care that

I am having a miscarriage. Father and Rumple are stuck in the middle of our drama.

Place: The Enchanted Forest-The Dark Castle

Rumple's p.o.v

Here I am eating dinner with Regina and her dad Henry. Cora has other obligations tonight so she

will not bother us. "I want to get away from this place" Regina whispers in a low voice. She

doesn't want Henry to hear her. "I have visited a realm called Avalon. I might take you there one

day" I whisper back. Somehow Henry figures out what we are conversing about. "You will not take

my daughter anywhere unless you marry her" Henry bargains. Right then and there, I propose to

Regina. She is super duper happy. Without considering Cora, Henry gives us his blessing.


Event: Rumple and Regina's Wedding

Rumple's p.o.v

Henry beams with pride and joy while Cora looks on with digest as I dance with their daughter. We

are married and that's all what matters to me right now. "I love you, Regina baby" I tell my bride

repeatedly. "I love you too" she smiles hugging me tightly. "I am looking forward to starting with

you and our unborn daughter in Avalon" I whisper. "I feel the same way too" she agrees.

Rumple's p.o.v

Sensing Regina is thirsty and tired of dancing, I help her into a chair at the cake table. I

bring her and myself something to drink. We feed each other cake first. Henry is well pleased,

but Cora continues to look at us with much disgust. Maybe Cora has something to do with

Regina's lemonade tasting weird. Our four month old fetus doesn't react well to the poison. I fear Regina is

experiencing a miscarriage. Henry and I rush quickly to her aid. Cora laughs silently to

herself. Henry and I banish her away from the castle immediately. She didn't care for Regina or our

unborn daughter at all. Thankfully, we survived her evil scheme.

Place: Avalon

Rumple's p.o.v

Almost a decade ago, I lost Milah and Bae. A second chance at love and happiness was out of my

reach. Who knew I would marry my star pupil and begin a new life with her in Avalon? Currently, we

are preparing for our baby's arrival. According to the oracle, our baby will be a girl named Avalon.

"Rumple, feel this" Regina insists placing my hand over her stomach. It's amazing to feel my

daughter move. "We created a miracle" I bring to Regina's attention.

Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Avalon

Rumple's p.o.v

Heavily pregnant, Regina enters the living room where I am playing the piano. She sits down

beside me on the bench. "You are a very talented pianist" she praises me. "Thanks, dearie" I

smirk. "I want you to teach me how to play the piano" she urges me. "I would love to teach

you" I agree. During our tutoring session, Regina experiences intense back pain. She is

just seven months pregnant. She fears it is a miscarriage or preterm labor. Thankfully,

Regina's suffering is temporary and not really serious.


Rumple's p.o.v

Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Avalon

Situation: Avalon's premature birth

Rumple's p.o.v

Patiently and anxiously, I wait for Regina to return home from the local market. Loud gunshots

interrupt my reading time. I run outside and discover Regina who is seven months pregnant

laying in a puddle of blood. A young man, resembling Dr. Falicier, disappears into the woods behind

our cottage. I assume he has shot Regina. I decide to help Regina instead of chasing after him.

Carefully, I carry Regina to our bedroom. I place her on top of the bed. With the little magic that I

have left, I extract the bullet from her body. Regina wakes up without a clue that she has been shot.

It is possible that getting shot might've rushed the baby. I keep a close eye on her just in case

her water breaks. It will be all my fault for causing her preterm labor and delivery.


Rumple's p.o.v

While knitting a quilt, Regina's back starts hurting. Regina considers her back pain to be a

symptom of labor. I accompany her to the bedroom where we await our baby's arrival. According

to the oracle, we will have a daughter named Avalon. "It's coming" Regina moans clutching my

shirt. "Don't worry, deary" I comfort her. "Don't just stand there. Get this baby out of me!" she

demands. "The baby will come when you start pushing" I recall. I put my hands underneath her

dress in preparation to catch the baby. Regina screams and cries as a way to take her mind off the

pain. I admire her strength and determination during this difficult time. Adding to Regina's

bloodshed, the umbilical cord is tied around Ava's neck.

Regina's p.o.v

Depressing, the outside world smells of death. Safe at home, I do my own share of bleeding. Desperately, I try to bring forth my firstborn. Rumple helps me

with bringing Ava into the world. The baby has started to crown, but the head isn't moving that much. I think the head is stuck. All my fears give away into

endless tears, screams, and tearing. "The head is almost out. Keep on pushing, deary" Rumple encourages me. "I can't do this. Something is wrong"

growing tired, I complain. "If you don't deliver soon, you and the baby can die. Please don't deprive her of this life" Rumple stresses. Adding to the drama,

the umbilical cord is tied around the baby's neck. "Stop pushing!" he instructs me. "Why?" I wonder holding tightly onto rosary beads. "The umbilical cord is stuck around Ava's neck" he

informs me. "Take the cord off her neck" I command him. Luckily, he manages to cut off the umbilical cord.

Rumple's p.o.v

"Keep on pushing! You are almost in the homestretch" I motivate Regina who is giving birth to our

daughter. Our daughter is two months early. Regina screams and pushes one last time. "Our

daughter Avalon is here" joyfully, I announce. "Finally" my very tired wife sighs. Her body grows

tense again. I am unsure if she needs my help with delivering the placenta. She says she has it

all under control. Little does she know Ava is experiencing heart failure. I place a heart stint

into her tiny chest. The worst part is over for now.

Regina's p.o.v

Radiating, sunlight shines through the windows. I want to enjoy the warm weather, but I stay put in

my bed. I have just given birth. Rumple tends to Avalon while I deliver the placenta. I am torn

between worrying about Avalon's heart condition and expelling the placenta from my body. Rumple

claims he has it all under control. I have total faith in him. He juggles both my needs and Avalon's

needs very well. "She is so small, fragile, and beautiful" I observe as I breastfeed our newborn

daughter. Ava arrived two months before her original December due date. My breast milk might

increase her weight. "I love you and Ava very much. Even now you are all that I have left" Rumple's

voice cracks. "We got into this mess because of me. I fainted outside on the front porch. I must've

frightened you. I should've stayed home instead of visiting the local market. I thank you for reviving

me" I recount. "You are at no fault here" Rumple assures me. "You fainted outside on the front

porch because you were shot. You were shot in the stomach. I don't know who shot you. You

and Ava were on the brink of death. Thankfully, I was able to retrieve the bullet. You can blame me

for your premature and delivery" he reveals. I am completely shocked. I remain grateful that he

made the right decision.

Regina's p.o.v

Magical, my mirror is able to channel random different realms. I am able to get ahold of my parents.

"Hello, my dear sweet Regina" happily, my dad greets me on the other side. Mom lingers in the

background pretending not to care. She resents me for marrying my teacher and her former love

interest. Our newborn baby Avalon just added more fuel to the fire. Anyhow, I shift my focus from

mom to dad who loves me unconditionally. "This is your new granddaughter Avalon. Rumple and I

call her Ava for short. Her life is a miracle for she was born two months early" I share with my dad.

"I wish I could see and Ava in person" he wishes observing Ava sleeping in my arms. "We will see

each other again someday" I promise him.

Place: Avalon

Rumple's p.o.v

"Wake up!" Desperately, Regina pleads shaking our unconscious infant daughter. Our magical

powers are very limited here in Avalon. We can't revive Ava so we seek help from the Blue Fairy.

The Blue Fairy and her friends live in the enchanted forest. "I will be able to resurrect Ava.

I can't guarantee she'll be fully human again" she forewarns us. Regina and I prepare ourselves

mentally and emotionally for whatever may come next. True to her word, she brings Ava back

to life. Avalon's eye color switches between brown and blue. She can emit blue fumes, fireballs

from her hands. Magic runs through Avalon's veins, but she is still my precious little angel. Regina

and I prefer she stays with us instead of among the other fairies.

Rumple's p.o.v

"Come here, buddy" I entice my son grabbing for his hand. I lead eight year old son to a

"Yes" I chuckle pulling out my own fishing pole.

Regina's p.o.v

Joyfully, Solomon runs into the cottage. Carrying a bucket full of dead fish, Rumple trails behind

Solomon. "Mommy, Papa and I went fishing. I caught a fish" Solomon boasts as he shows me his

bucket. "Congratulations. I am happy for you" I praise my son. "Thanks" my son smiles really big.

There is a twinkle in his pretty brown eyes. "I am hungry. The fish will make a wonderful snack"

Avalon sarcastically remarks. "You will not eat Solomon's fish. That fish is for him only. You can eat

the fish that I caught" Rumple bargains with our daughter.

"Do you want to cross over this bridge with me?" I ask my daughter. "Sure" Avalon smiles grabbing

a hold of my arm. "This bridge is as old as time itself" I joke with her. Avalon looks down at the

water below that stretches on for miles. I feel her even as she is disappearing. "Will I be reborn

or sent to a different realm if I fell off this bridge" she wonders. "Probably not" I chuckle squeezing

her arm tighter. I discover a butterfly in her hair. There is also a butterfly resting on her shoulder.

Maybe my daughter is destined to become a butterfly.

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.

Regina's p.o.v

"If you here for a kiss, I am not interested" Rumple tells me upfront. "Do you remember our previous

make out session in the pawn shop?" I ask him. "Yes. What about it?" He pressures me. "I have a tiny

gift for you" I offer him. He unwraps the tiny box and his eyes grow big with shock. "What is this

thing?" He wonders holding up the pregnancy test stick. "That thing that you are holding up is a

pregnancy test stick. Women take these tests to find out if they are pregnant or not. My test results

turned out positive. I am pregnant with your baby" I explain. "When we kissed, I felt my power

leaving my body. I knew it was a possibility that I would impregnate you. Apart of myself was in

denial. I have already developed a strong connection with our unborn child" Rumple confesses.

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 this 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: The Library

Regina's p.o.v

Consequently, I encounter Belle and Rumple at the library. It is not my goal to create any drama

with them. Belle decides to address the big elephant in the room. "You are carrying my husband's

baby" Belle confronts me. I put a protective hand on my growing baby bump. "We didn't have sex.

The baby's conception was immaculate" I defend Rumple and myself. Rumple doesn't back me

up. He is beside himself. "You and Rumple still had an affair whether you and him made love or not"

Belle argues. "You are right. I apologize for coming between Rumple and you" I surrender. "Although

I would like for you to leave the library, you do have a right to be here" Belle invites me.


Time Period: A Flashback

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 make out. 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.

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 piñata'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 piñata. She is caught

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


Time Period: A Flashback

Regina's p.o.v

"You can't have this baby. It is not human" Rumple warned me. "It is not a demon. It is a magical baby. You

sped up the pregnancy. I am in the safe zone. I am already fourteen weeks along" I reminded him.

"Your optimism means nothing. You are still in danger" He argued. I tried to fight back my tears

and words. Avalon was torn between us. Belle took Rumple's side. "Rumple is right" she defended

him. Belle pulled a book about high-risked pregnancies off a nearby shelf. I rejected her kind

gesture. Regina departs from us with these haunting words, "he's my son and my heart". She

and Avalon leave the library taking a piece of my heart with them.

"Do you promise to be Regina's loyal companion again?" Archie asked Rumple. "I do" Rumple vowed

placing a promise ring on my right finger. "Do you accept Rumple's friend request?" Archie asked

me. "I do" I smiled placing a promise ring on Rumple's finger. Since Rumple was married to Belle, he

kissed my cheek instead of lips. He didn't pull away when I hugged him. Belle and Avalon were

absolutely happy for us. After the ceremony, Rumple and I had a lovely reception at his pawn shop.

Rumple and Belle gave me a raddle and a blue blanket for my unborn son. Rumple and I

planned to name him Solomon. Avalon was given a snow globe for a gift. Rumple placed a

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.

deep in conversation with an elderly woman that I never seen before. She has

pretty gray hair and glasses. "This is Gloria. Gloria was Mother Goose in a different

lifetime. She comes from a land of nursery rhymes" Rumple reveals to me.

I am totally lost, confused, and shocked. Gloria gives me a tight bear hug.

"I am sorry for your future loss. Your unborn son will complete my story though.

He is Little Boy Blue" Gloria drops on me.

Rumple's p.o.v

I discovered Regina bleeding out in her office. My mother and her evil minions took pleasure in

Regina's pain. They didn't care if she was pregnant. Livid, I banished them to a different realm.

I contacted 911 soon afterwards. The paramedics arrived right on time. "Please be extra gentle and

careful with the mayor. Ms. Mills is pregnant" I informed the paramedics. They were shocked by

how much I cared about Regina. They promised to take good care of her. I was allowed to ride in

the ambulance with them. They didn't know Regina was carrying my baby. I wanted to keep it that

way.

Anxiously, I wait in the lobby for my mom's D&C surgical procedure to be over. Eventually, Dad

comes and takes me to her recovery room. Barely holding it all together, I enter her hospital room

where I meet my baby brother for the first and last time. "This is your brother or whatever remains

of him" mother cries placing the dead twenty week old fetus in my arms. "Hello Solomon, I am your

big sister Avalon" I introduce myself. Dad struggles to hide his pain and sorrow. I can feel his heart

breaking. Although mom and dad didn't plan for Solomon, they still love him.


Time Period: A Flashback

Regina's p.o.v

While taking a stroll with Avalon through Storybrooke, I started to experience complications with the pregnancy. I was twenty weeks along. Avalon took me to Rumple's pawn

shop. She hoped he could heal me or simply provide shelter until the storm passed over. I slept on a cot in the backroom while Avalon and Rumple looked for a magical

potion. I heard them having an intense discussion with Belle. Belle's yelling awakened me. This served as my signal to leave the shop. Avalon accompanied me to my office

and then she went off her merry way. Light bleeding and painful cramps prevented me from reading and signing important documents.

I didn't know if I was experiencing a miscarriage or preterm labor. These symptoms were not normal in this stage of twenty weeks. I laid down on a couch h

hoping these symptoms would pass. Feeling lightheaded, I contacted 911. Somehow I sent Rumple a help me text too. Adding to my distress, Rumple's

mother and her evil minions show up. Coldhearted, they assaulted me. I felt my soul and unborn son slipping away. Hope, in the form of a prayer and kiss,

resurrected me. "Regina" a soothing male voice whispered. "Rumple?" my spirit responded walking toward the light. The light revealed a hospital recovery

room. Solemn, my family and Doctor Whale stood around my bed. "You were attacked. You had a miscarriage. Your son, Solomon whom you carried for

almost twenty weeks died" Doctor Whale informed me. Speechless, I was completely numb. An emergency D&C gave Rumple, Avalon, and me an

opportunity to bond with Solomon briefly. Upon my request, Rumple sent Solomon to a new different realm. Little Boy Blue aka our sweet Solomon loved his

new home in which was Old McDonald's Farm.


Regina's p.o.v

"Hello, Regina and Mr. Gold" cheerfully, Archie greets us. Rumple and I sit far apart on the couch in

his office. "I don't do therapy, but I trust you" I inform Archie. "Well ok thanks" Archie responds.

"I am here to support Regina" Rumple adds. Gradually, my life becomes an open book. It feels

strange and yet comforting for me to discuss my miscarriage. Archie and Rumple are

understanding and compassionate.

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.

"Who is Solomon?" Belle interrogates me. She discovered a blue baby blanket among the dirty

faux pregnancy. Regina was attacked and miscarried our son Solomon. I don't know how his

blanket ended up at our house" I confess.

The doorbell rings and I answer the door. Avalon trails right behind me. "I believe this baby blanket

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.

"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: A Flashback

Situation: Regina's miscarriage with Solomon

Place: Regina's recovery hospital room

Regina's p.o.v

Rumple's mom, Fiona and her evil minions visited my office. They attacked me and they didn't

care that I was twenty weeks pregnant. I already had been experiencing complications with the

pregnancy. They made things even worse. An emergency D&C gave Rumple, Avalon, and me a

chance to bond with Solomon at the hospital. I didn't want Rumple to bury Solomon in his

family burial plot. Upon my request, Rumple took Solomon to Old McDonald's Farm. Solomon

lived as a normal child here. Little Boy Blue became his new alias. Shortly after biding my son

farewell, I strongly desired to be alone. Rumple and Avalon went home without me. Zelena

saw beyond my depressed state. She kept me company in my family's absence.


Rumple's p.o.v

Regina dreaded returning home without Solomon. She headed straight for the bed where she cried

herself to sleep. Apart of herself had died. She neglected Avalon and me. If I wasn't Avalon's

primary care provider then I would be stuck in a dark state of mind. I would spend my days

mourning over my two dead sons, Baelfire and Solomon. While Regina recuperated, we threw away

the baby stuff. The gang was kind enough to visit us. They brought over food and household

supplies. I was happy to see Regina interacting with the outside world again. Away from view,

my other son Gideon kidnapped Avalon.
