Time Period: A Flashback
Rumple's p.o.v
Ashamed, my fifteen year old son comes home with a bruised face. I am absolutely livid. I can
feel the darkness rising up in me. "Who hurt you?" I ask touching Baelfire's cheek. "Papa,
it's nothing" he denies. "Did the baker's son beat you up again? Please tell me the truth" I demand.
Emotional, my son nods his head yes. "I am going to give him a piece of my mind. Nobody hurts
my boy" I threaten.

Rumple's p.o.v
"OH, Baelfire" I whisper touching his cheek. He takes a step back. I don't want him to leave my
shop so I put a protection spell on the door. "My name is not Baelfire. It's Neal" he reminds me.
"You will always be Baelfire to me" I contour. Eventually Neal does come around. I have my
precious son Baelfire back again. He starts calling me papa in which I love.

Rumple's p.o.v
"Papa" my sixteen years old daughter pleads reaching out to touch me. Confined to her bedroom,
Avalon has fallen gravely sick. I blame it all on her weak heart. She has had this condition ever
since birth. I recall she was born two months early. In the absence of Regina, Belle and
I have taken turns to nurse her. "Here I am, princess. I am going nowhere" I promise her.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Rumple's p.o.v
Solomon and Gideon have been helping in the shop today. Like Bae and Avalon, Solomon calls me
papa. Meanwhile, I am just pops to Gideon.
