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.

Place: The Enchanted Forest
Rumple's p.o.v
A dark evil curse separated my family and me back in Avalon. Now here I am stranded
in the forest. "Regina! Avalon!" I cry and scream out. "Rumple, you are very unwell.
This is the second day that I have found you in the forest. Please don't say you are
a spy for that evil witch, Regina" a feminine voice yells. I turn around and there is an attractive
woman standing behind me. Her name is Milah. Milah claims she is my wife and carrying my
baby. Despite the craziness of the situation, I am looking forward to becoming a father again.

Rumple's p.o.v
The whole town is a mess because of me. No magic can repair the damage. It's all my fault that
all hell has broken loose. I am a monster and I must live with this fact. At least I am not a coward.
Baelfire is the only light in my dark cold world. Who knew protecting my son would come with a
heavy price?

Rumple's p.o.v
Wandering mindlessly through time, his eyes remain on the sparrow who is traveling down a narrow
road. A perfect gift would be another tomorrow instead of more sorrow. The dark one's hope and
redemption is sealed in blood.
