There was no time to run, I hid my backpack in my closet. I jumped into bed and hid under the covers just in time to hear my door open. The man who had been my father in this world, the king, was on the phone.

"I can't believe you left her all alone in this state!", said the king

I heard Thomas' voice coming from the phone, "I know father, I'm sorry, but we needed to know what happened. I mean the curse is broken but we haven't returned to our world"

"Yes I know my son, but remember, this girl is our responsibility until we are able to find her real family."

"Yes father."

"Anyways have you spoken to prince David, or Princesses Snow White?"

"No, they're trying to get everyone in order, it's chaotic here! They just tried to kill Regina"

"My gods! Well call me when you have information, ok?"

"Yes"

"I'll be here taking care of Aldara... That is her name right?"

"Yes Aldara"

"Alright good bye"

"Bye, I'll call you later"

The king petted my head and said, "Poor child your parents must be worried sick"

I stopped my self from laughing, worried? My dad didn't even know I existed!

He walked out of my room, closed the door and went down stairs. I waited to get up until I heard the TV turn on. I sprang out of my bed, grabbed my back pack and opened my window. Time to go I thought, I quickly climbed down the wall and when I was close in of to the ground I jumped. I landed safely. I looked around to make sure no one had seen me, but no one was there.

Where now? To the center of the city, if it was chaos there then that meant everyone was there. Maybe including my dad.I went off in a small jog, I was going to find him. 

I was standing behind a pole, away from most view, I looked around, it really was chaos. I felt bad for Snow White and the prince, they were surrounded by nervous and afraid people, people who needed their guidance, would they be strong enough to take on all the responsibilities? Did they know themselves what was going on, why we hadn't returned to our world? Concentrate! I told my self, you have to find father. I looked at the faces of the people, but non of them seemed to be him, then again how would I know? I am his daughter, but I never met him before, not even as a baby.

~Flash back~

Milah's POV

I tear slid down my cheek. I hate him I thought, I don't want to bare another of his children! I passed my hand gently on my belly, it was growing, so was the baby. I heard Baelfire cry. I walked to him, he was crying on the floor, pounding the floor with his small fists. Bae was only 3, and he was already so smart, I loved him. I picked Bae up and hugged him, "Now, now Bae, calm down my baby" I said Bae's crying continued. My poor son, he had been born with the burden of being Rumplestiltskin's son, the son of a coward. I heard a loud knock on the door, "I'm coming", I said

I opened the door, As I did  I saw a tall woman in a dark hood.

I smiled, "Finally you have come", I said

"Of course, I was told you had an offer?", said the lady with a raspy voice

I nodded and let the lady in, her name was Dame Gothel, a woman rumored to have lived for hundreds of years. Dame Gothel was powerful, owner of a power that kept her young and healthy forever. In exchange for money, she would come to people's houses and use magic to solve the people's troubles. 

Dame Gothel sat down.

She began, "Now what is it that you wan-", but she couldn't finish, she began to cough. Her wrinkly hand quickly reached into her pocket and yanked out what seemed to be a small flow . Dame Gothel ate the flower, I was amazed by the result, as soon as Dame Gothel swallowed the plant, the wrinkles left, her once gray hair now dark black, the wrinkles on her face left leaving a beautiful young lady, she looked so young, the woman that had entered my door was now another.

Dame Gothel fixed her dress. "I apologize for that. Now where were we again?", said Dame Gothel, her voice no longer raspy instead it was soft, like silk.

"Um... the deal", I said coming back to the important matter

"Yes", she smiled, "what is it exactly that you want?"

"I'm pregnant", I said holding my belly, "and well... the father-"

"Isn't your husband?"

"No", I sighed, "that would be better"

She lifted her eye brow, "oh, are your having marriage problems then? because that can be solved" she gave me an evil smile.

It took me time to answer, I hated Rumplestiitskin and I would sure like him dead, "No. My problems with him aren't why I called you."

"Then why?"

I sighed, "I don't want this baby to have my husband as a father."

"And? what do I have to do in that?"

"I need to give my baby away, without my husband knowing"

Dame Gothel crossed her legs, "And how will we do that?

"When the baby is born I will give it away"

"But your stomach will grow, your husband will know that you are pregnant.

I nodded, "Yes, I know. That is why I need to fake my babies death"

Dame Gothel's eyes widened, "And how do you plan on doing that?"

"That's where you come in, I need you to give me something or do something so that the baby seems dead."

"I see...that can be done, but you do understand that I don't work for free, right?"

I reached in the pocket of my dress,"Here is the money", i said as i passed a small bag of coins to her, "It's all I have to offer."

Dame Gothel took the bag and held it in her hand for a minute, "This is very little for what you ask"

I shifted in my feet, I was afraid of this, I knew it wasn't much, but I don't really have much money.

"It's all I have", I said

Dame Gothel held on to the bag tightly, "Very well, I will make the deal with you"

I sighed in relief, "Thank y-"

"But", she interrupted me, "with one condition."

"What?"

"It is very simple Milah; I want to know the name of the father"

I bit my lip, why did she want to know Rumplestiltskin's name? I finally answered, "His name is Rumplestiltskin"
