"Mal!"
Mal heard her boyfriend, Ben, call her and she turned around, her green eyes spotting the king standing on the other side of the garden, waving to her. She smiled before waving back and running towards him.
"What is it?" She asked, giving him a small hug. Ben grinned at her, before pointing at one of the benches and pulling her towards it. "Sit down, it's important," he told her. Her eyes filled with concern as she sat down beside him.
"I..." Ben started, "...have...decided...the..."
Mal cut him off. "Just say it already!" She gave him an impatient look, which made him laugh.
"I have decided the next kids from the Isle of the Lost!" Ben exclaimed proudly.
"What? Who? Are you sure? Do your parents know? Does anyone else know? How-" Ben placed a finger on Mal's lips, quietening her down.
"Relax, Mal," He laughed softly. "I am completely sure. You're the only one who knows. There's only two this time. A boy and a girl."
"Who?" Mal repeated one of her questions, looking at him curiously. "Ursula's daughter and Captain Hook's son," Ben replied. "What do you think?"
She thought for a moment. "I don't know them much, I guess I don't have any problem with them coming."
Ben smiled, pulling her in for a hug. "I knew it!" He exclaimed.
"Julian and Una, not a bad choice," Evie said when Mal told her that night.
"Yeah, I don't know them, so I would like to when they come," Mal replied.
"I just hope everything goes right this time."
