The year was 1999, it was springtime and flowers were blooming everywhere. Nakoma, best friend of Pocahontas, was a regular nurse that was brought to the Island every month to help with anything from a simple illness to a birth. Though Nakoma was always reluctant to leave Auradon, she always brightened when she remembered that even though her weekly trip on the Isle would be torture, she'd be able to stay home to help with the birth of her best friends child. A baby girl.

It wasn't until the day before her teammates had to leave for the Island that she got the call. She had to tag along to help with yet another birth. Nakoma had instantly refused, Pocahontas was nine months pregnant and ready to pop at any second, she wanted to be there just in case.

"Nakoma," Pocahontas started, putting a hand on her friend's arm. "I'll be fine. You are only there for a week and I think Little 'Lina can wait that long. It must be an important birth if they need you to help as well. You should go, 'Koma."

Nakoma sighed lightly, picking up the phone. "Alright, but I promise to be back in time to meet Malina."

After Nakoma got off the phone with her team's leader, she gave Pocahontas a hug. "I'll try to be back soon."

"Don't worry. I'll try to hold off on childbirth until you get back." Pocahontas replied.

Nakoma laughed before puttjng her hand on her friend's fully grown baby-belly. "You be good for Mommy, okay? If i come back and find out you were trying to come out, I'm going to give you the most tickles ever." Nakoma grinned as she felt her "niece" kick against her hand. "I'll see you in a week."

"I'll see you then." Pocahontas smiled as she watched Nakoma leave her house. She placed her hand on her stomach as she sat down on the couch. "You heard Auntie, Malina. Stay in there as long as you can. I love you, my sweet Malina."


/6 Days Later\

It wasn't until the end of her week away that Nakoma got news that her best friend had gone into labor. The nurse found it extremely hard to focus that day as she waited for news on her friend. At the very end of the day, her impatience had been cured in an odd way. Maleficent, the worst enemy of many kingdoms, was also in labor and needed an emergency C-section.

It took until just after midnight for the C-section to be complete and for Maleficent's new twin girls to be welcomed to the world. The first was named after Maleficent, being given the name Maleficent "Mal" Bertha. The younger was named a more normal name, Mara Avarice. Though the girls were twins, they had some small, yet noticable differences. Mal had purple hair while Mara had green. Mal was very fussy and screamed a lot, yet Mara was more quiet and loved to be cuddled. The only time they both seemed at peace was when they were close together.

Nakoma had gotten more info on Pocahontas as the next morning rolled around. Pocahontas had lost her child during birth. Nakoma didn't know if it was the influence of evil around her or sympathy for her best friend that fueled her decision, but her immediate idea was severely dark and could get her into immense trouble.

Nakoma was going to take one of the newborn twins and replace Pocahontas' baby with it.

How she was going to accomplish this plan was beyond her, yet she had a feeling that, with some help from some of her most trustworthy coworkers, it would work perfectly. Nakoma knew that her friends, Lora and Michael, would definitely help due to the reasoning. The only problem was how they would explain it two the two mothers.


By the end of the last day, the plan was set. The team was split down the middle. Nakoma, Michael, Lora and two additional aides would return to Auradon that night at ten with the younger twin, Mara while the rest of the team would return the next day. None of the other team members knew of the baby snatching, but that was just the way they had wanted it to go. Eventually, the time would come when the girl was old enough to be told her true story, but, hopefully that day wouldn't come until much further down the road.

One of the major difficulties would be Mara's hair. Pocahontas had brown-ish black hair and Mara had green. How were they supposed to change the color of a newborn's hair without the fumes or dyes affecting the child's brain? Magic was outlawed on the Isle so they would have to wait until they got back to Auradon to try magic on the small girl. Another issue would be convincing Pocahontas that she didn't lose her daughter, but that she just wasn't responding and they just made a mistake at the hospital.

Nakoma shook the thoughts out of her head as she gathered Mara's things and slid them into her suitcase. Mike entered the room quietly as he handed Nakoma some spare baby clothes. "Nakoma, I don't know about this. I mean, I get that we're doing this for Pocahontas and you know I would gladly do anything I could to help her, but this is Maleficent's child."

Nakoma sighed, nodding her head sadly as she zipped her bag, "I know, Mike, but she's my best friend and she's going to be devastated and depressed knowing that she lost her first child. I don't want that for her and I know for a fact nobody else does either. Please, Mike, help me pull this off."

Mike exhaled heavily as he took the luggage from Nakoma. "I'll still help you, but this is the first and last time I will ever smuggle anything, let alone a child from the Isle of the Lost.


That night, they made it off the Island safely with no suspicions, but Nakoma was terrified the whole time. The fear that they could get caught was making her stomach flip for the entire ride back to the hospital. As soon as they found Pocahontas's room, they rushed up with the new Malina and put the green haired child into the bassinet. A quick spell from one of the fairies Nakoma had befriended had the green haired Mara turning into the brown haired Malina.

Luckily, it was late enough for nobody else to be around and for Pocahontas to be fast asleep. Nobody saw them and it seemed like nothing could go wrong. At least, not at the moment. After a few days, Pocahontas would be let out of the hospital with Mar- I mean, Malina and they would live happily ever after...

Right?
