Flashback

Phoenix, Arizona

Eleven Years Ago

Night - Prison Hospital

Ella was giving birth where the doctor and nurses were attending to her. The clock struck 8:15.

Emma was there to be there for Ella and comfort her. "Big breath. Breathe away, breathe away."

"Okay, here we go," a nurse told them.

"You're doing great," the doctor told her. "Big push, big push."

Ella did as told, screaming as she gave birth to Henry.

"You're almost there, one more," a nurse told her.

"You're doing fine," Emma told her. "Keep breathing."

"You're doing fantastic," the doctor assured. "That's it."

Emma let Ella use her hand as a pain outlet. "Breathe, breathe, breathe. Doing great. You're doing great. Here you go. Keep going. Yep. Breathe, breathe. Take a deep breath."

"Okay, big push," the doctor told her. "Big push." Ella was doing as told, screaming. "Push, push, push!" The lights began to flicker and go out as Rose was born, foreshadowing the fact that both Ella and Rose would have magic in the future. Ella sighed in exhaustion and relief. "Great. Here you go. That's good. That's beautiful. How you doing?"

Emma looked at the babies. "Ella, you have a girl and a boy." Ella was crying. "Ella?"

"I just want to hold them," Ella told them. "Just once."

"Ella, we can't raise them from inside prison," Emma told her.

"I know, Emma," Ella told her in annoyance. "I just wanna hold them. One time."

Ella got to hold Baby Henry and Rose, crying because she knew she couldn't keep them while in jail. When the doctors and nurses took the babies away, Ella cried harder. Emma held Ella comfortingly, calming her down, heartbroken to see her sister devastated like this.
