When we met that night at the ball.

it wasn't my fairy godmother who sent me.

It was rumplestiltskin.

I made a deal with him for this life.

I was stupid.

I didn't understand the price of magic

so I promised him something.

What did you promise him?

He tricked me.

I thought that he'd want our gold or jewels.

What was it?

Our baby?

I'm so sorry

and now I'm gonna lose it all

my life and... you.

No.

I don't care what that imp said.

Magic may have brought us together but it didn't create this love.

But I made a deal.

I can't break that. He's too powerful.

Then the answer is simple.

We make another deal.

So this boyfriend of hers

You don't think he was involved in her disappearance?

Uh that would mean he was involved with her at all which he isn't.

He left her in the lurch right after they found out they were expecting.

Hasn't spoken to her since. Like I said he's a

Hey hey hey! Billy be careful.

You almost shattered my wolf thing Billy.

It's good luck.

I'm sorry Ruby but look it's fine.

Um Ruby what about her family?

Oh um she's got a stepmom and two stepsisters that she doesn't talk to.

Wait. A stepmom stepsisters and she's a maid?

Henry not now.

Look I don't know what you've heard but it's wrong.

Everyone thinks she's not ready to have this kid

but she's trying taking night classes trying to better herself

trying to get her life together.

Can you understand that?

I think so.

Then maybe you should just stay out of it.

She's been through enough already.

I've been through it too Ruby and I can help her.

Then try her ex.
