So I keep getting requests asking me to write a story or one shot with the VK's reactions to finally having parents who care. I figured I may as well start a one shot series so they are all grouped together. Hope you guys like this x
Mal and Belle had just finished a nice brunch but the mother wasn't looking forward to the upcoming conversation. She knew Mal had been putting off her check up and while the brunette mother knew the purple haired teen didn't like doctors (there had only been one or two on the isle since most were reluctant to go) as the four isle children's legal guardian she had to take her. "So I made an appointment for you to have a check up with my doctor." Belle told the teen. She didn't miss the way Mal stiffened slightly but the teen nodded none-the-less.
"Okay." Mal agreed. She had avoided doctors since she went to have a check up and injections with the Evil Queen and Evie. Maleficent didn't very much care about her daughter getting checked over just as long as she didn't show any weakness and become ill. The Mistress of all Evil hated when Mal showed her 'weakness'.
The nerves were clear in the teens voice but her face remained impassive, showing absolutely no emotion what so ever. This worried the brunette but she didn't dwell on this for long as the teen stood and headed back to the car causing the older woman follow.
What felt to Mal like seconds later, but was in fact almost half an hour later, the car stopped outside the hospital. The purple haired teen slowly forced herself to follow the former Queen out of the car and through the hospital doors. The teen would give anything not to be here right now but a check up couldn't be that bad, right? She thought to herself. If only she knew how wrong she was. She hadn't listened to what Belle and the blonde receptionist had spoken about, she had simply forced herself to follow the older woman through the hospital.
Far too soon for Mal's liking she was stood in a white room but she quickly became lost in her own thoughts of the first and last time she had been to see a doctor, back on the isle. She was fairly certain this would go the same but she also knew Belle was only doing this because she cared.
"Mal? Are you okay?" Belle asked the teen, who hadn't moved since they had entered the room. The purple haired girl simply nodded to her boyfriends mother. She had come to see the brunette former Queen as a mother figure lately but like hell would she admit that to anyone. "Why don't you sit down on the bed, sweetie." The former Queen suggested. The sixteen year old simply followed the older woman's suggestion. She didn't trust her voice to speak right now and she couldn't let anyone see she was affected by being here.
Seconds later the doctor walked in but Mal immediately tuned her out. The first thing the teen saw was the needle in her hand which had sent her into a mini freak out. The teen didn't listen to anything going on around her. Her mind was in total overdrive and she refused to tear her eyes from the obscenely large (in her opinion) needle. It wasn't until the doctor took a step towards her, that Mal forced herself out of her own freaked out thoughts and paid attention to what was happening.
"That thing isn't going anywhere near me." The purple haired teen stated. She had hoped her voice would sound strong but she heard how freaked, scared and hell even vulnerable she sounded and she hated it. She couldn't believe she was acting like this. She was supposed to be tough being from the isle but here she was getting freaked in front of her boyfriends mother.
"It's a simple flu shot miss. You need to have it, it will only take a second." The doctor stated. Had Mal have been paying attention she would have known the doctor was called Dr Amelia Harris but all the teen cared about was keeping that needle far away from her.
Mal couldn't help but tear up at the doctor's statement as she looked over at Belle. She didn't want that thing anywhere near her. Thankfully the mother seemed to pick up on her distress and signalled for Dr Harris to move away slightly, needle in hand much to Mal's relief. "Mal, what's wrong honey?" She asked the distressed teen.
"I don't want the flu shot. Please don't make me." The purple haired girl practically begged the former Queen. Belle's heart broke slightly at the sight of the tears slowly making their way down the teens cheeks. The older woman knew Mal didn't respond well to anyone hugging/comforting her other then Evie and her son but she couldn't help herself as she moved towards the girl and pulled her into a comforting embrace. The teen couldn't help but soak up the comfort the former Queen was providing.
"You need to have the shot, Mal. You records say you've never had it and it well help you I promise. I'll be right here the whole time. I promise, baby girl." The pet name slipped from the older woman's mouth so naturally and she didn't bother to 'correct' herself. As far as she was concerned Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos were her children as much as Ben was, even before her and Adam became their legal guardians.
"Trust me?" Belle asked the teen. She knew Mal and the other Isle children had trust issues likely due to their parents yet she was pleasantly surprised when Mal nodded to her. The former Queen wasn't expecting her to agree that easily. She just had to keep the girl distracted so she didn't notice the shot.
The brunette discretely motioned to the doctor for her to come closer before turning back to Mal. As the teen heard the doctor sit in the chair next to her she couldn't help but whimper slightly, even though she had stopped herself crying. She was scared to death of needles and the blonde doctor had a large one in her hand, terrifying the purple haired girl. It was then she remembered how she distracted Ben when he was younger and needed shots. The older woman figured it was worth a shot.
"Are you kids looking forward to Halloween?" Belle questioned the girl.
Mal shot the older woman a questioning look but nodded anyway. "Yeah. Ben's asked me to go to the dance with him." She told the former Queen.
"Are you guys dressing up?"
"Yeah, we're going as..." That was all Mal got out before she hissed as the doctor gave her the flu shot. Belle tightened her hold on the girl slightly to comfort her. When Mal felt the needle being removed from her arm she let out a breath. It hadn't been as bad as the one she'd had on the Isle, inf act she had barely felt it.
Belle couldn't help but smile down at the purplette as she wiped the drying tears from Mal's face. "That wasn't so bad now was it?" She asked the teen. Mal shook her head in response but remained cuddled into Belle. For once Mal had a mother figure who actually cared, the teen was going to remain in the caring woman's embrace for as long as possible. Sensing Mal needed the extra comfort at that moment Belle tightened her arms around the teens body and gently kissed the top of her head. It broke her heart that Mal hadn't had this before. But Belle would always be there for her now, the former Queen would make sure of it.
