History

In the traditional fairytales, Rumpelstiltskin was an imp, who spun straw into gold for a girl in return for her first-born child. The girl was told she could keep her child if she could guess his name. When she finally did Rumpelstiltskin split in two.

In Happily Ever After, he makes a similar deal with soon to be Princess, Cinderella. In exchange for her "precious" riches, he blessed her with a magical night at Prince Tomas's ball. He returns to claim his prize from a reluctant regretful pregnant Cinderella, but was foiled by the trickery of Prince Tomas and was captured and locked away. Rumpelstiltskin told her that her Prince, whom he made mysteriously disappear, wouldn't return to her until his deal was honored.

An alternate year later, in Storybrooke , when her first child was born, he returned to claim his payment from Ashley. Ashley is discouraged by all the citizens of Storybrooke that she can't raise her child alone as she is too young and is not ready. Her boyfriend, Sean Herman, who fathered the child is forbidden by his father to see her because of the pregnancy. She refuses to give up the child and is determined to change her life to keep her child, under the influence of Emma. The baby is born and Emma makes a new deal with Mr. Gold that if Ashley got to keep her baby, Emma would owe him a favor, but we do not know what it is yet. After Emma has made her deal, Sean returns to Ashley to help take care of the baby, symbolizing that Rumpelstiltskin's deal has been honored by the bail bondsman, Emma Swan.
