makes things real, and that he has problems that she’s going to fix for him.

her child is their only hope and they should get it to safety. On the child’s 28th birthday, it
will find them and the final battle will begin. Snow White and Prince Charming walk away and
Rumplestiltskin demands the name of the child, saying that it’s a girl. Prince Charming says
