This is my first Descendants One-Short and someone gave me the idea and i tried very hard to make it work. I think (for a first time) its okay and i hope in the future i can improve but i just really like the idea and i thought it was a fun take on the movies.

I haven't read the books so some of the one-shorts i do may not be accurate but i tried to find the basic of the books but not to much so it spoils it for when i do read them. But anyway thank you for reading and i hope you like it :).

"Mackenzie" The purple haired girl called after her daughter as they raced down the wooden halls of the castle. Old pictures of past rulers littered the wood panelling as the mother and daughter played their favourite game. Tag and like always, Mackenzie, the youngest daughter of the royal couple Mal Bertha Beast and Benjamin Florin Beast, was winning. Her mother had several excuses as to why she was losing, one being that she was trying to be a good mother and the other one being that she had just given birth to a baby boy less then a month ago.

The King had been gone for the last week, having to go to the Isle Of The Lost to over look the last kids going over to Auradon until the Isle of The Lost can be officially named 'a childless prison' to all villains. To say Ben missed his wife was a understatement, he was just realising how much he loved her, the way her lips curved into a smile when he walked into the room, the way her breathing relaxed when he held her in his arms, or simply the way her eyes sparkled when little Mackenzie walked into the room with her dad in toe when she woke up. Everything about his queen was beautiful and enchanting, it was hard for him to look away but he knew that he had to leave at some point to return to his kingly duties after his son, Charle, was born.

Mackenzie was very different to her brother. Mackenzie was a very energetic three year old toddler, a trait Mal blamed Evie for as Mackenzie and her auntie spend much of the young princesses time together, designing outfits or playing with Evie's one year old baby girl, Evangeline. Mackenzie's hair was a light purple shade that was long and messy, like her dads animal-like hair. Her face was littered with faint freckles that were hidden well over her pale skin, her light green eyes were the exact replica of her mum's eyes and her cute button noes always scrunched up when the toddler was thinking like both her parents did. But everyone who meet the young princess would instantly compliment Mal for how much Mackenzie looked like her, and it was true.

Mal ran quickly through the halls of the castle, having her daughter in her eyesight as the respectable queen ran faster. Once she reached her daughter, the mother scooped her daughter up in her arms and twirled around, enjoying the sound of the toddlers laugh echoing through the halls.

"Mama, stop it Mama" the young toddler laughed as her mother began to blow raspberries on the girls stomach. The mother began to stop spinning, still holding her daughter as the toddler wrapped her legs around her mothers waist and placed her head on her collarbone. "Momma" The toddler asked as Mal swayed side to side.

"yea baby girl" Mal replied as she placed a quick kiss onto the top of her daughters head

"whens daddy coming home ?" Mackenzie asked. Mackenzie may of been three but she was smart, she never missed a detail in anything which meant that in some cases she asked her mother questions that the toddler was too young to understand.

"soon, he is doing some very important work" Mal explained. Mackenzie nodded as she placed her head back on Mal's collarbone trying to sleep as her mother rocked her side to side.

"Mal, Mal" a voice called out for the mother who recognised the cheerfulness in the tone right away.

"I'm here Evie" Mal called back, being as quite as possible to not wake the sleeping child in her arms. Evie came running through one of the doors of the corridor, frantically looking around until her eyes landed on the queen and sleeping princesses. Evie was wearing her traditional blue dress that was covered in a elegant lace design that she hand stitched. The dress stopped at her knees, showing off her blue dolly shoes (she stopped wearing heels the moment she found out she was pregnant with Evangeline), her hair was tied into a elegant top bun making her look even more grown up then she already was.

"he's home" Evie said simply, Mal gasped with surprise. He wasn't supposed to be back for another week she thought excitedly. Mal smiled at her best friend as she reached out her arms to take Mackenzie, which Mal gladly did.

"Be careful. He will explain the whole situation and then talk" Evie suggested as rocked Mackenzie like Mal was doing before. Mal smiled at her best friend, before taking off in a run down the halls. As the queen was running she reached up and took her hair out of the neat bun it was once in, running her hand through the lose curls of her long purple locks. She knew that Ben loved her no matter what but this was the first time they would be seeing each other in a week so Mal didn't want to look any different to when he left.

Mal slowed to a stop as the large doors of the throne room came into view. After sorting her hair out and straightening out her long purple dress, she signed deeply before opening the grand doors to the throne room. The grand room was filled with blue and gold banners hanging from the balconies, the large windows let the evening sun light shine through the glass and onto the gold throne's at the back of the room. Mal entered the room, the guards bowing to their queen as she regally walked past them, and set her eyes on a tall brown haired man in the centre of the carpet that flowed down the middle of the throne room. The man had his back to Mal, giving her the perfect opportunity to sneak up on him.

Mal nodded her heads to the guards that lined the room, signalling to them for them to leave the royal couple alone and they followed the order, leaving the room.

"You know its very rude to ignore your queen" Mal told her husband who quickly turned around and smiled at his wife, taking in her beauty. "what no kiss ?" she asked him as she stepped forward, wrapping her arms comfortably around his neck.

"I have something to tell you" Ben says as he places his hands on his wife's waist

"whatever it is it can wait. I haven't seen my husband in a week" Mal repiled

"It's important" Ben starts as Mal interrupted him by pressing a long and loving kiss onto his lips. Ben tightened his grip on Mal's waist as she balanced on her tip toes, tightening her grip around his neck as she deepens the kiss.

"I love you" she mumbles against his lips after they broke away for air.

"I love you too" he says rubbing her noes with hers making her look at him with those innocent eyes he would always get lost in.

"whats so important then ?" Mal asked after a minute of gazing into each others love-filled eyes

"You know how we were just doing one last look around the Isle before leaving ?" Ben asked and Mal nodded "well, one of the villains had a child that we didn't see until today"

"who ?" Mal asked, a little taken back by the news

"Ursula" Ben said simply making Mal gasp. Apart from Maleficent, Ursula was the most feared villain on the Isle, her fear only growing once Mal had left and defeated her mother. Her merciless treatment of the younger villains made her one to never be messed with and even Mal followed that rule after her first encounter with the evil octopus. The first meeting with Ursula ended with Mal having scars on her back, arms and legs that lucky Evie was able to cover with makeup, from her tentacles and bruises covering the rest of her body that took months to properly heal.

"how old is the child ?" Mal whispered, unable to hold back a tear at the thought of what that child must of went through.

"same age as Mackenzie" Ben muttered

"where is she ?" Mal asked Ben

"The Guards have her"

"Guards" Mal interrupted Ben as she called out. Two guards entered the room wearing their shinny armour and swords connected to their hips and bowed to the royal couple.

"Yes your majesty" One of the guards spoke

"Please bring me Ursula's daughter, i want to meet her" Mal told the guards who nodded before bowing again and leaving the room.

"Are you sure ?" Ben asked causing Mal to look back at her husband

"i need to meet her" Mal said as the doors open again to show the same two guards standing between a young girl. The small girl had dark coloured skin but you could clearly see the green/ purple bruises that covered her bare arms and legs, her brown eyes seemed to scan the room before landing on the royal couple who sent a warm smile towards the toddler for her to shake her head and turn her attention to her ripped shoes. Her hair was a teal colour and the long braids reached the bottom of her back.

"Thank you guards" Mal thanked. The guards bowed and excited the room, closing the door behind them to leave the royal couple alone with the toddler. Mal removed her arm from around Ben's waist and walked over to the girl, stopping between her husband and toddler because she stepped away from the queen.

"Hello, i'm Mal" The queen said as she bent down to be the same level with the girl.

"Uma" the toddler muttered in response, not taking her eyes off of her shoes.

"That is a beautiful name" Mal comments

"Not really, mummy says its an ugly name for me" Uma mutters

"Well, i think its beautiful" Mal replies making the young girl smile, looking through her eyelashes to see the queen. Uma gasped as she saw the colour of Mal's hair.

"Your hair" Uma states as Mal moves some behind her ear. Uma hesitantly steps forward making Mal smile as the young girl touched the end of Mal's locks. "It's purple" Uma breathes out making Ben and Mal chuckle at the shocked look on the toddlers face.

"yea, so is my daughters" Mal tells Uma who stops running her hand through the woman's hair at the mention of Mackenzie.

"You have a... daughter ?" Uma asked as Ben walked over to the girls and placed a comfortable hand on Mal's shoulder.

"yes and a son. Mackenzie is three and Charle is a month old" Ben explains making the toddler look at the king with wonder.

"and y-y-you love them ?" Uma surprisingly asked. Mal looked up at Ben, wondering how to answer that question and make the toddler not feel sad.

"Yes, we love our children" Mal replied as Uma let a sad smile graze her lips

"and all people love their kids here ?" Uma quietly asked

"Yes, but some parents aren't very good at doing their job" Mal explains as she stands up

"Job ?" Uma asked, letting her head fall to the side in confusion.

"Ben i'm going to take Uma on a tour, i'll be right back" Mal tells her husband

"Okay, have fun" Ben said as Mal pulls Ben into a short hug before lightly kissing her husband on the lips

"I love you" Mal says against his lips before she pulled away fully

"I love you too" Ben agrees as Mal walks out the room, stopping to see that Uma hadn't moved from her place and was staring at Ben with a questioning look.

"Uma, do you want to look at the library ?" Mal asked the young girl. Uma smiled at Mal. Uma still found it weird that the royal couple loved their kids when her mother was so cruel and hurtful.

"Yes please" Uma said as she walked over to Mal who held out her hand for the little girl to take. Uma's smiled soon turned genuine when she reached up and wrapped her small hand around Mal's finger, feeling for the first time in her whole life, safe and loved by something as simple as holding someone's hand. Mal led Uma down a long corridor, filled with paintings of past rulers that Uma couldn't stop asking questions about. Uma was amazed with all the space the castle held, and there was even more room according to Mal which made Uma more shocked.

"whys your hair purple ?" Uma asked as they turned the corner of the corridor to be face to face with a large wooden door. Within the wooden frame, was beautifully carved pictures of the previous royal couple, Queen Belle and King Adam, of when they first meet along with the enchanted versions of Miss's Pot's, Lumiere and Clocksworth to name a few. Mal pushed open the door with her free hand before guiding the toddler into the room. The walls were covered in shelf's of books ranging from history to magic books, there was a large crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling covered in light candles that cased a shadow on the corner of the room where a large arm chair with a small table and a lamp sat neatly in the corner, having one of Mal's favourite books resting open on the table.

"My mum is Maleficent so i got my mums hair when i was born" Mal explains

"Maleficent" Uma says slowly trying to say the name correctly. Mal nodded as they both walked hand in hand to the arm chair

"Yes, i came here eight years ago" Mal said "Do you want to read a book ?"

"Book ?" Uma asked as Mal sat down and picked Uma up to rest the toddler in her lap.

"Like this one" Mal explained as she picked up the book on the table next to her

"okay" Uma agreed as she snuggled closer to the daughter of Maleficent, feeling safe within Mal's arms as they were wrapped around her small body being careful of all the bruises

"Once Upon A Time" Mal started to read the book.

Soon enough Uma was half asleep in Mal's arms, listening to her read a book about a book-loving girl and how she fell in love with a scary beast who turned out to be a prince. Uma smiled warmly to herself as she heard Mal say the final words of the spectacular story

"And they lived happily ever after, the end" Mal concluded as she placed the book on the table and ran her finger through the toddlers braids.

And they did live happily ever after. Uma was adopted by the royal family soon after her arrival in Auradon and was crowned princess of The United States Of Auradon a month after her fourth birthday. Uma grew up to be a beautiful, smart and cheerful young lady something she thanks her parents and siblings for everyday since she became part of the family. She had few traits like Ursula like her love for magic, cooking and singing but overall, like Mackenzie, she was the replica of Mal.

Everyone treated Uma like part of the family, with Jane and Carlos bringing Dude and their son, Luke over to play and Lonnie and Jay bringing their twin girls Lilly and Joy over to the castle for sleepovers as the twins were some Uma's best friends. Evie and Doug would bring Evangeline over to see Mackenzie and Uma, the sisters shared a special bond with Evangeline like their mothers did.

Overall the children of the four original VK's became best friends, living their own versions of happily ever after and who knows maybe the children will cause some mischief like their parents did but who can blame them because they are all their own version of

ROTTEN TO THE CORE !
