Time Period: A Flashback
Teenage Emma's p.o.v
Unlike previous days, my monthly blood flow was unusually heavy today. My cramps were very painful and unbearable. Lily's herbs didn't provide any relief for me. I refused to visit the hospital because I didn't want the doctor to call the authorities on Lily and me. We were both minors and runaways. Upon my urgent request, we visited a nearby Quick Trip gas station. Lily looked for food to buy while I used the bathroom. Something other than urine left my body. I encountered a gruesome sight when I checked the toilet. Blood clots made up the image of a dead female fetus. I cried and screamed silently into my hands. I never knew that I was pregnant. I must've conceived my daughter as the result of a recent one night stand. I flushed my daughter's remains along with my regrets down the toilet. Lily carried and helped me through my grief. Strangely, a dove followed us to our next destination. Lily claimed the dove was my dead daughter's spirit.
Emma's p.o.v
I gave up my son for adoption in August of 2001. I couldn't deal with Neal's death and motherhood at the same time. A lovely encounter with a charming gentleman named Killian at the library restored my hope on 2-12-2002. We bonded over our love for books. Killian and I had our first date on February 14, 2002. I discovered that I was pregnant on 1-18-2003. We were thrilled about becoming parents. I accepted Killian's proposal for marriage soon afterwards.
The doctor couldn't detect our daughter's heartbeat on March 3rd. The doctor scheduled an emergency D&C operation so that I could deliver her remains. "I can't do this. I don't want to let her go" I sob heavy in Killian's arms at the present time. "She must come out right now. She will live forever in our hearts" Killian reminds me. I give birth to our daughter in agony and tears. We decide to name her Spirit Everest Swan Jones.

Killian's p.o.v
"Who are you? What kind of business do you have with the king and queen?" A royal guard questioned me. "My name is Killian Jones. Princess Emma sent a message to me. She wanted to see me" I explained King David noticed me standing in the entrance way.
"You should go back home. You are an outlaw. You will not see my daughter" King David yelled at me. King David has always disliked me because I am a pirate. Emma's unplanned pregnancy has increased his hatred for me. Queen Mary has learned to tolerate me with time.
Anyhow, Emma intervened before her dad and his royal guard could execute me. Hand in hand, Emma led me outside. "Please forgive my dad. We can talk privately outside. I wanted to discuss my visit to the oracle with you" Emma started.
"What was the oracle's message for you?" I inquired. Emma places my hand over her stomach. "The oracle warned our baby was destined to be a healer and a sacrificial lamb. She might or might not survive" Emma recounted.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Killian's cottage in the woods
Situation: Post Princess Emma's miscarriage with Spirit
Killian's p.o.v
Princess Emma traveled alone on a horse to my cottage in the woods. Carefully, I helped Emma off her horse. "There are blood stains on your dress" I brought to her attention. "I am having a miscarriage" Emma cried out in pain. I carried her bridal style over the threshold. I undressed Emma and then started up a nice warm bath for her.
Emma moaned with each passing contraction. "Breathe in and out, love" I coached her. "The oracle warned we would lose the baby" Emma reflected. She put on a new dress and then rested in the bed after discarding our daughter's remains.
"Please take me outside" Emma requested nicely. "You should rest in the bed. You just lost a baby" I suggested.
Time Period: A Flashback
Scenario: A Miscarriage
Princess Emma's p.o.v
Unnoticeably, I sneaked out of the palace. Nobody knew I was gone. I rode a horse over to the village where the commoners lived. I wanted to visit my boyfriend, Killian Jones. We haven't seen each other in a while. Sensing I may need to rest, he prepares a bed for me. He leaves me alone to sleep. "Killian!" I scream from within the guest room. "What is the matter, love?" concerned, he asks. "I am bleeding" crying, I bring to his attention. He counsels me and carries me through the "grieving" process. We wrap and dispose our daughter's remains in a pink blanket. Long ago, someone told me that baby angels are time travelers. Is it possible for our baby to be a time traveler?
Time Period: A Flashback
Event: Birth
Spirit's p.o.v
Aggressively and quickly, I am pushed toward the emergency exit door. I slide down a very dark tunnel. Radiating, sunlight reveals an ocean. My crowning head fits perfectly in my mother's hands. Carefully, she lifts me out of the water. My eyes make out a bathtub. My mother places me on her stomach. Her heartbeat and singing drowns out the sound of my crying.
Emma's p.o.v (As a heavily pregnant princess)
A heavy downpour outside startles me during the middle of the night. I mistake this for the breaking of my water. I wet my bed on accident. I am frightened because the baby isn't due for another six weeks. A nice warm bath calms me down some. An unbearable urge to push takes over soon enough. So far, I am the only one in the castle who is still awake. I keep my screams and tears at a minimal. Delivering my daughter, Spirit, almost kills me. My parents find me bleeding out in the bathtub the next day. They let me keep my daughter briefly.
Time Period: A Flashback
Scenario: A Stillbirth
Place: Snow and Prince Charming's castle-Princess Emma's bedroom-The bathroom
Princess Emma's p.o.v
The last thing I remember is giving birth in the bathtub last night. I delivered my daughter who was six weeks early. "Wake up, Emma! You have crushed the baby's skull!" a female voice demands in the meantime. This voice belongs to my mother. "OH, My Precious baby!" I sob after realizing I have smothered my baby to death. Dad and Henry are completely numb and speechless.

Situation: The morning after Spirit's traumatic birth in the bathtub
Killan's p.o.v
A crow carried a message for me from Snow. According to Snow's note, Emma gave birth to our daughter Spirit in the bathtub last night. Spirit arrived six weeks early. I rushed to my beloved's sick bed immediately. I dodged her family's judgmental looks. Emma's maidservant, Eloise, had a little crush on me. A tired and dying, Emma placed Spirit in my arms.

Action: In the aftermath of the Ogre Wars, Killian sails in the Jolly Roger across the seven seas
Killian's p.o.v
Emma and I were estranged at the time of Spirit's birth. David and Snow had forbidden Emma to see me. They believed a pirate would be a bad influence on their daughter. I wish I was there for Emma during the pregnancy and birth. A raven carried a message from Snow that announced Spirit's arrival. My presence was demanded at the castle immediately because Emma was dying. Everybody feared Emma wouldn't last through the day due to having such a difficult time giving birth the night before. Although she survived her tough ordeal, I was granted primary custody of our daughter. Who knew Spirit would die while in my care? An ogre crushed her to death. I have sent Emma a message about our daughter's untimely demise.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Grannys
Situation: Spirit plays the piano at Regina's mayoral anniversary celebration
Spirit's p.o.v
My mom served as the host and coordinator for Regina's mayoral anniversary celebration. One of her duties was to find and hire a musician for the party. From a distance, I saw her hang up signs about upcoming auditions all over Storybrooke. Avalon strongly recommended for me to try out. My mom fell in love with my amazing piano playing skills. I remembered her, but she didn't remember me. She forgot that we were related because she always believed I died in The Ogre Wars. Anyhow, she invited me to come and play the piano at the party.
Scenario: All of Storybrooke has come together to celebrate Regina's mayoral anniversary at Grannys.
Regina's p.o.v
"Please welcome Spirit to the stage. She will play for us a song on the piano" the mistress of
ceremonies, Emma announces. Spirit approaches the stage, and Emma looks as if she has seen
a ghost. Spirit must've just moved into town because I never knew she existed before tonight.
Anyhow, the crowd goes wild especially Spirit's female friend. My conscience says, "I have seen
that girl before". Rumple can read my thoughts.
Rumple's p.o.v
Long ago, I encountered a teenage prophetess named Spirit Everest. I liked this oracle more
than the previous ones. Spirit genuinely cared about people. She loved birds and playing the piano.
She was bound for greatness. Some people believed she watched over souls in the Afterlife aka
Narnia. Emma claimed Spirit warned her about the upcoming great war. Who knew the all knowing
and powerful enlightened one would dwell among humans one day?
Avalon's p.o.v
Father and I encounter numerous grieving mothers including Mulan in the town square. They are hosting a vigil for their deceased babies and kids. Although my heart bleeds for them, their constant loud is annoying. "Stay close to me, Avalon" Dad advises me. We discover the Liberty Bell that my mom has been ringing nonstop has caused this craziness. I am my mother's enduring hope, strength, and joy.
Regina's p.o.v
From the rooftop, I notice the town's grieving mothers holding a vigil for their deceased kids and babies. My attention is torn between them and Solomon's tiny dead corpse that I hold in my hands. "Please don't stop ringing the Liberty Bell" I order Henry nicely. "Your request is my command" Henry agrees. Every chime represents a lost life including my sweet Solomon. He didn't deserve to spend his final moments as a doll. I can imagine my dad playing with him in Heaven. Rumple and Avalon catch me having an emotional moment.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: On the roof of City Hall
Rumple (ordering Henry): Henry, please stop ringing the Liberty Bell.
Henry: Ok, Grandpa
Avalon (looking down below): All of the women have stopped crying. It was as if they were cursed or something.
Henry: Mom wanted them to feel her pain
Avalon: That's both sad and disturbing
Rumple (sitting down beside Regina on the ground): I feel your pain, dearie
(Regina remains despondent)
Rumple's p.o.v
The light had disappeared from Regina's pretty eyes. Regina's mind was indeed elsewhere. Carefully and gently, I took the blanket that contained Solomon's remnants out of her hands. "OH My Sweet Solomon" I wept unwrapping the blanket. I planned to turn him into fairy dust. "Give me back my son" Regina charged at me.
Rumple's p.o.v continued
We were so consumed with Solomon that we neglected Henry and Avalon. They just stood back and watched us interact. "You can hold the corpse" I permitted Regina. "His name is Solomon" Regina reminded me. She held Solomon's remnants close to her heart. "Freeing him doesn't mean you forget him" I encouraged her.
Avalon's p.o.v
It was game over for her when her son's remnants became fairy dust and the wind swept them away. She was carried off the roof against her will. When we arrived home, she headed straight to bed where she cried herself to sleep. Even in her grief, she wished to view the security video footage from The Doll Shop. My mom and I could access security video footage from every business in Storybrooke on our cellular devices. Obediently, I provided the security video footage that revealed Solomon's final moments for my mom. My dad stood nearby for moral support.
"You killed your brother. You should've grabbed him off the shelf and then exited the shop. You ripped his limbs in half when you played tug war with Catherine" livid, Mom yelled shaking me. She dismissed the fact that Catherine actually killed Solomon. Dad was present when Solomon died, but I didn't throw him underneath the bus. "Please leave the house. I will handle your mom. I will contact you when she has calmed down" Dad ordered me. Crying, I ran out of the house and sought shelter elsewhere.

Spirit (joining Avalon in the garden): Hello my friend
Avalon (sitting on a bench): How did you know where to find me?
Spirit (sits on the bench and holds Avalon's hand): I felt your spirit
Avalon (walking around the garden): I bet you saw my angry mom shaking me. I regret showing her the security video footage that captured Solomon's final moments. Now she hates me.
Spirit (following Avalon): Your mom doesn't hate you. It is a case of displaced anger.
Avalon (smelling a rose): Displaced anger?
Spirit: Your mom is angry with herself or Catherine. Your mom does love you. You are her rock and miracle baby afterall. Please don't wish you were never born.
Avalon (feeling as if she is drowning and suffocating under water): I feel as if I am drowning and suffocating under water.
Spirit (revealing Avalon's present circumstance): You are actually drowning and suffocating under water. Help on the way for you.
Avalon (embracing the light): SPIRIT!
Spirit: I will see you on the other side
Time Period: The Present Reality
Regina's p.o.v
"I am fine. You can call Avalon right now. You tell her that she can come back home" I instruct Rumple. Rumple dials Avalon's number on his cellphone immediately. "Avalon is not answering her cellphone. I hear her voice mail" Rumple informs me. Before we start searching for our daughter, my cellphone rings. "Mayor Mills" Sheriff Vera addresses me on the other end. "What is happening?" I ask Vera up front. "My team and I found Avalon at the dock. She drowned and suffocated under water. She is being transferred to the hospital" she notifies me. Rumple and I make a mad dash over the hospital.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Regina's bedroom
Regina's p.o.v
"You killed your brother!" livid, I yelled shaking Avalon. A distraught Avalon fell back on the bed. "If you viewed the security footage again then you will know I didn't kill Solomon" Avalon argued. I slapped her into the next century. My actions deeply affected her. I ignored the pain and sorrow in her pretty brown eyes. "You should go somewhere safe. I will call you when your mom has calmed down" Rumple instructed our daughter. Avalon gathered up her belongings and then left the house. "She is a monster. She is a total disgrace" I cursed.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Avalon's hospital room
Regina's p.o.v
As cold as ice, my harsh words silenced your voice. Your only option was to grieve and leave our once safe place. Everything you were feeling and wanted to say drowned underwater. Now that you are in a comatose state, every moment feels uncertain and delicate. My heart bleeds uncontrollably in your honor.

Avalon's p.o.v
Wearing shackles, I approach my mother's throne. "Behold, Your Traitor" Mom denounces me before her subjects. Everyone except for Father gives me a disgusted stare. Silent, Father remains besides himself. I can sense and feel his heart bleeding and breaking for me. "I didn't kill my brother. You have imprisoned and chained the wrong person" I yell. "All the evidence points to you" Mom argues. This statement, "I was set up" doesn't mean anything to her. Aggressively, guards drag me outside. They burn me at the stake. I wish that I had never been born or was a stillborn. My friend and guardian angel, Spirit Swan Jones answers my prayer.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe
Place: Regina and Rumple's cottage in Avalon
Situation: Avalon's homebirth (a stillbirth)
Regina's p.o.v
I am currently experiencing a burning ring of fire. "Hello baby" Rumple greets our crowning baby. I switch between grabbing his sleeve and the bedsheets. My husband understands that I am in a lot of pain. "Breathe and Push beyond your discomfort, Regina. You can do this" Rumple motivates me. "Something is wrong" I warn him. "Something is indeed wrong. The umbilical cord is tied around the baby's neck" Rumple confirms. He is able to successfully remove the umbilical cord off the baby's neck. "Ouch" I shriek as he separated Avalon from my body. We hear silence instead of her first cry. We can't revive her for she is dead.
Regina's p.o.v
She wakes up screaming and resisting my touch. "You are an evil queen" she curses me. "You have lost your memory. I am your mother. I am not that evil queen anymore" I remind her.

Regina's p.o.v
"The future is bright for these precious babies that are in the nursery. I am an orphan. Leukemia has limited my days" Bruce breaks my heart. "You will not die anytime soon" I assure Bruce. He embraces me and then disappears into my memory banks. Rumple's unexpected presence startles me. "I remember when Avalon and Solomon were babies. They were conceived in magic, but they were the cutest little things" Rumple reminiscences. I loosen his tight grip around my hand. "I don't have time for this. Our time has passed" I yell at him. "I am sorry for whatever I did wrong" Rumple apologizes. He follows me out into the crosswalk. A car runs a red light and it is immediately lights out for me.

Our children are alive" I explain. "Solomon's death and my estranged relationship with Avalon weren't real" she assumes. "Those events weren't real. Dr. Facilicer had played with your emotions" I confirm. Before Regina can start on her soapbox about Dr. Facilicer, she is distracted by Solomon and Avalon.

Druizella (touching the baby's head): OH MY GOD!
Francis (choked up): We created a miracle
(Zelena allows Drew to pull out the baby. Drew places the crying baby on her stomach and begins nursing immediately. Drew is oblivious to Francis cutting the umbilical cord and the afterbirth.

Francis and our daughter Dizzy wait in the lobby while I visit my mother. My mom has been in a coma or under a sleeping curse. My dad has never once left her bedside. "Hello, Drew" my dad greets me in the present time.
I sit down at my mom's bedside and take her hand in mine. "I assume Dr. Facilier has put mom under a sleeping curse. Have you tried waking her up?" I inquire. "I kissed her, but the kiss didn't work. Dr. Facilier has done a number on her mind" Dad explains.
"Where is Avalon and Solomon? How do they feel about our mom's situation? Who is handling mom's mayoral duties?" I wonder. "Solomon is currently at school. Avalon has been looking after him in my absence. They are very worried about their mother. Your mom would've wanted you to handle her mayoral duties" Dad explains.

Solomon's joyful reaction warms Regina's heart. Hand in hand, I accompany Solomon back to his room. I tuck Solomon into his bed and then read him "The Little Prince". The story fits Solomon well because he is mine and Regina's little prince.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Scene: Rumple's Pawn Shop
Rumple's p.o.v
Distraught, I hold Solomon's ripped body parts in my hands. Catherine had turned my sweet Solomon into a doll. Avalon and I destroyed him by accident in an attempt to free him. Desperately, I now search for a spell that will reverse Solomon's curse. I am beginning to lose all hope until the Oracle Spirit appears in my shop. Spirit is the daughter of Emma and Killian aka Captain Hook. She is also my daughter's Avalon's best friend. Originally, Spirit came to get her pet Owl. "I can see that you need help. How can I help you?" Spirit offers. "Catherine had put a curse on my son. My son is currently a doll. Can you please turn my son back into a human boy?" I plead with Spirit.
Emma's p.o.v
It is a coincidence or pure happenstance that I have encountered Spirit in Rumple's shop. My daughter and I have been estranged. Her job as an oracle has kept her away from the house. Anyhow, Spirit has been trying to resurrect Solomon. My dad's former fiancé, Catherine had turned Solomon into a doll. "I won't give up even if I lose all of my strength" Spirit vows.

True to her word, Spirit transformed Solomon from a doll back into a human child. Watching Rumple reunite with his son pulled on my heartstrings. "Mom, I feel unwell" my dizzy daughter complained. She lost consciousness and then collapsed in my arms.
I panicked when she didn't immediately wake up. "Will Spirit be okay?" a concerned Rumple asked me. "Spirit has experienced fainting spells after healing people in the past. She usually wakes up soon afterwards. I don't know why she hasn't recovered quickly this time. I am going to take her to the hospital" I stressed. Rumple carried Spirit and got her settled into my buggy for me. I thanked him with a goodbye hug.

Longingly, I observe Emma interact with her husband and daughters in the waiting room. They have been awaiting news on Spirit. According to various news outlets, Spirit slipped into a coma after healing Solomon. My heart bleeds and breaks for them. I refocus on my own personal health crisis when it is my turn to see Doctor Whale. Doctor Whale reveals test results for my recent biopsy. I discover that I have breast cancer. I thank Doctor Whale for his time and help. He recommends for me to visit him at a later date. We will discuss my treatment plan then. "Okay" I agree trying to hide my sorrow behind my smile. I refuse to allow him see me fall apart. I have an emotional breakdown in my car outside. Francis is busy with work while Dizzy is away at school so I am all alone in my suffering.

Avalon's p.o.v
Papa has left the pawn shop to run a few errands. He has trusted Solomon and me to look after the store in his absence. "Sissy, there is a dove in the store" Solomon brings to my attention. "You must've left the door opened" I assume. "No, the dove just magically appeared" Solomon explains.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Rumple's p.o.v
I am caught off guard by a dove flying around my shop. "Who invited the dove into the shop?" I ask my children. "The dove magically appeared in the shop. Solomon nor myself summoned the dove" Avalon explains. "Papa, Avalon is telling you the truth" Solomon stresses. "Maybe the dove is Spirit's pet" I assume. "Papa, Spirit has transitioned over to the other side. She sacrificed her life for Solomon" a heartbroken Avalon reminds me.
