Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: The Cemetery
Situation: A memorial service for Ronan (Victor and Ruby's stillborn son)
Naveen's p.o.v
All the sadness in the air makes me want to hold my wife tighter. We were almost in Victor
And Ruby's shoes once. Thankfully, Raven survived her difficult premature birth. She is now
Nineteen years old. She has graduated from high school. Her dream is be a chef and to own
a restaurant. Tiana and I have allowed her to work with us on our food truck. "Ronan was
our miracle baby. There were complications with the pregnancy. That's why Ruby was
induced and delivered early at seven months. I helped her to bring him into this world" an
emotional Victor recounts bringing me back down to reality. My heart aches and breaks for
Vincent and Ruby. Nobody especially them deserves to lose a baby.
Place: Rumple's Family Burial Plot
Situation: Ronan's memorial service
Regina's p.o.v
Rumple left behind his ashes and family burial plot for me to take care off. I believed Rumple
wouldn't mind if Ruby and Vincent buried their son in the family burial plot. They
appreciated my help and support. We were not yet done mourning and burying Ronan when
a livid Drew appeared. Her eyes burned right through my soul. I could feel the darkness
rising up in her. I tried to embrace her, but she pushed me to the ground. "My daughter is
missing. Dr. Facilier probably took her. What the hell did you do to him this time? Please
don't play the rape or miscarriage card" Drizella snapped at me.
Regina's p.o.v
Her eyes burn right through my soul. I feel as if I am attending my own funeral. She wants
for me to tell her the truth. I have a feeling it is going to be a long and rough day for us.
She will probably put my ashes in an urn next. Even now we swim and explore the deep end.
Place: Mulan and Shang's house-A Nursery
Mulan's p.o.v (she is heavily pregnant with a baby girl at the time)
Frantically, my husband Shang storms into the nursery. I have been preparing for our
daughter's arrival. I am so startled that I fear my water may break. "Please slow down and
breathe" I instruct Shang. He catches his breath before speaking further. "Mulan, babies
and children have been disappearing all over town" Shang informs me.
Time Period: A Flashback
Princess Kwan-Yin (the grown up version of Mulan and Shang's unborn daughter)
Among all my sisters, Father found favor with me. I was well educated and wise.
My father wanted me to be his wanted my husband to be the next future king.
I had no desire to be queen or be married. He arranged for me to get married anyway.
I discovered and joined a convent on my way to the wedding ceremony. The nuns
mistreated me at the convent. I still carried out my duties such as helping those in need.
Father raided the convent and forced me to return home with him. He sentenced me to
death for disobedience. Divine intervention saved my life. I became a goddess of mercy.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Henry's writing studio
Shay aka Kwan Yin's p.o.v
"You summoned me. How may I help you?" I remind Henry. "Lucy has disappeared. Jacinda
has been looking for her nonstop. A curse or something else has made all of the babies and kids to
vanish" Henry informs me. "What does their disappearance have to do with me?" I wonder. "You
are my ghost writer. You are a goddess of mercy. You have helped those, unborn or simply
lost crossover" Henry recounts.
Time Period: Shay's birth
Place: A Hospital Delivery Room
Mulan's p.o.v
"Again, Mulan, Push" Doctor Whale instructs me. "I can't do this. It is too hard" I complain. Normally
I am the strong and tough one. I can handle anything that is thrown my way. Who knew giving birth
could hurt so much? Thankfully, Shang and Aurora are here to support me through this difficult time.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Shay's actual birth
Mulan's p.o.v
The baby has started to crown and my back is hurting really bad. "My back is hurting. These pillows
are not helping me at all" I complain in the mist of pushing. "I got you. I will provide extra body
support for you" Shang insists. I lay my head against his chest and absorb his warm body heat.
He puts pressure on my big swollen stomach. I relax my muscles and hold my legs open.
Shang, Aurora, and Dr. Whale cheer me on nonstop. Apart of myself doubts I can safely bring Shay
into the world.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Shay's birth
Shang's p.o.v
"It hurts and burns. I can't do this anymore" an exhausted Mulan complains. "You are experiencing a
burning ring of fire. The baby is crowning at last" Dr. Whale informs Mulan. After a long difficult
labor and pushing process, Mulan is more than ready to welcome Shay into the world. Aurora
and I continue to offer her words of encouragement. Unfortunately, Shay is born blind.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: Mulan's recovery room
Mulan's p.o.v
Shang and I have decided to name our daughter Shay Joy. Who knew Shay's birth would bring all the missing babies and kids back home? She is some kind of hero. Maybe that is why the universe spared her life. Anyhow, here I am alone in a recovery room. I am swooning over Shay who is sleeping in my arms.
Shay's p.o.v (the grown up version)
I can feel someone kissing my forehead. "Something is wrong. I can't see" I complain to him or her.
The person places my hand on her or her cheek. "Its me, Shay, your dad. You are in the hospital.
You took quite a tumble out of the canal. You rescued all those who were lost and missing.
Unfortunately, you are now blind" my dad informs me. "Shay, I am so sorry. I had no idea that
you would become blind. Your infant self is blind as well. I should've sent you to that realm,
the canal aka purgatory" Henry apologizes.
Shay's p. o.v
Dad helps me into a wheelchair and then escorts me to a room that is located across
the hall. I can hear Dad and Henry talking to a young woman whose name is Mulan.
Mulan has just recently given birth to a baby girl. Surprisingly, Mulan is my mom.
I am caught off guard when Mulan acknowledges me as her daughter. She
allows me to hold Baby Shay aka my newborn baby self. I wonder if this
world is big enough for the both of us or if one of us will have to go?
Place: The Canal-A Type of Purgatory
Shay's p.o.v
Spontaneously, all of babies and kids living in Storybrooke disappeared. Everyone assumed
Jafar or Dr. Facilier kidnapped them. Jafar and Dr. Facilier were innocent in this case. My
former classmate and coauthor, Henry Mills created a new different realm by which he called The
Canal.
Shay's p.o.v
Our paths in life are very different, but we will collide again soon. Our longest darkest hour
and day is still yet to come. I have a voice, but I depend on you to make the right choice.
Even now you know what you must do. Even if it may lead to my demise, you disarm me.
Henry's p.o.v
Regina's house is my first stop on my apology world tour. Mom greets me with a hug and kiss, not
knowing that I have come to repent. She offers me milk and chocolate chip cookies. I savor and
cherish this precious moment. "I helped Mommy to bake the cookies" Solomon boasts. "I am
glad you are home" I tell him. "You and Shay are heroes for rescuing all the missing babies and
kids" mom praises me.
Regina's p.o.v
I enjoyed his presence until he released a huge bombshell. "I am responsible for making all
the babies and kids to disappear. I put Shay's life in jeopardy. She is now blind because of
me" He confessed. "Henry, I almost lost Solomon. What the hell could possess you to do
such a horrible thing?" I yelled at my son. "At least I didn't take Avalon away from you"
Henry argues increasing my anger and disappointment in him. Avalon appears instantly at
the mentioning of her name. She had been reading or journaling upstairs in her room. "I
heard somebody, perhaps Henry, call my name. How may I be of help?" she asked. "We
don't need your help. Henry and me are having an intense argument" I explained to my
daughter. Avalon takes Solomon back upstairs with her.
Henry's p.o.v
Angry, I slammed the door right behind me. I forgot to tell Mother goodbye. She didn't chase after
me. I was totally worthless and useless to her. I bet she wished I was never born. I bet she
regretted adopting me. I encountered even more chaos at my house. Jacinda and my
former classmate Violet worked together to bring me down. Shay was stuck in the middle
of our drama. I was torn between erasing Shay or myself from existence. Before I
could make a final decision, my body waged war against me. I started to experience
shortness of breath and chest pains. I blamed my physical aliments on stress and anxiety.
A celestial being calling my name drowned out Lucy's loud intense sobs and screams.
Time Period: Henry's dream and possible reality
Place: The Edge of All Realms
"Henry" my guardian angel's voice repeats. I open my eyes and notice my grandpa looking
Down on me. He helps me off the ground. "I can see you. Am I dead?" I wonder. "You had a
heart attack, but you are not dead" Grandpa assures me.
