So I have never written anything like this before but for some reason the idea wouldn't leave my head. The italics are the letter Ben is reading. For now it's a one shot but it may turn into more depending on the interest I get. Hope you guys like it x

It had been exactly one month since Mal had passed. One month since she had been killed protecting her family and Kingdom from a villain invasion. But no one had gotten over her passing yet. The entire Kingdom was mourning the loss of their much loved and greatly missed purple haired Queen. But none missed her more then her siblings, Ben and Bree. None of them could believe that Mal wasn't with them any more.

Ben had yet to leave his and Mal's quarters in Castle Beast. He couldn't bare the thought of seeing the others, especially Amy. He loved Amy as much as he loved his own sister but she was Mal's double and seeing her felt like he was having his heart ripped out. So instead he stayed in his and Mal's room with the one piece of Mal he had left, their daughter. She was only three months old and had no idea why her mother was suddenly gone but Ben made sure to tell the infant all about her mother when he could.

He was sat there watching as his daughter slept when a cloud of purple smoke gathered at the end of his bed. Startled he slowly walked towards the box that was now sat on the bed. But his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the envelope on top of the box and immediately recognised the handwriting, Mal's handwriting. He didn't want to read the letter or look in the box but he knew he had to. So with shaking hands he picked up the envelope and opened it, taking out a letter and another smaller envelope.

Dear Ben,

I'm sure that you are feeling a lot of things right now, mostly confusion as to how this letter and box appeared in our room. I don't know how but a few months ago I had a vision of the fight with the villains, a vision of how I would die.

Ben's eyes immediately filled with tears at the words written in the familiar handwriting he thought he would never see again. But the fact that she knew about her death both shocked him and angered him. If she had told one of them they could have prevented it from happening. Something could have been done to keep Mal with them. Still he shook his head and continued reading, hoping that she would explain why she hadn't said anything.

Right now I imagine that you feel quite angry with me and I don't blame you at all. But as much as I wanted to tell you, I couldn't. If I'd have told you then you and the others would have tried to keep me alive somehow, and I couldn't let that happen. Because after my vision I went to visit a seer. She told me that if I told any of you then you would all die trying to protect me which ultimately wouldn't work as I would die anyway. I couldn't let this happen as then our daughter wouldn't have anyone to raise her and look after her.

The brunette immediately felt bad for being angry at his wife. She had put their daughter before herself. That's why she hadn't told anyone. For that he couldn't be angry at her. He couldn't help but think that if he had been in that situation then he would have done the same thing, because it was what was best for their daughter.

I realize that loosing me has been hard on you, as I imagine it has been for everyone. And if I know you then you have locked yourself away for the past month and not really seen or spoken to anybody. Please don't shut out our family, especially Amy. I know seeing her must hurt you but please don't push her away.

The King couldn't help but smile sadly at the words written in front of him. Mal had always been able to know exactly how he was feeling, even before he knew it. This letter only proved how well his purplette knew him for she had described exactly how he was feeling and acting in a letter that was written over a month ago. A few tears fell from his eyes at this thought. Maybe Mal was right, maybe he shouldn't shut their family out.

You have given me so much Ben. You loved me when I thought no one ever would, you stood by me though all the times I felt like tearing people's heads off (although I will never understand why). You proved to everyone you truly loved me the day we got married and you made me the happiest girl in the Kingdom. Then you gave me the best thing I could have ever wished for, our daughter.

But I need to ask a favour of you Ben. I need you to keep an eye on Amy for me. I know that she had Henry and Malice there with her but she looks to you like a brother as well, and I know that she will need you. She won't admit it to herself but she will need you, Henry, Malice and Bree so much over the coming weeks. I know that seeing her must be hard for you and I have no right to ask this of you, but please consider it. I know my sister and she will try to deal with this by herself but she can only keep so much inside before she will break down.

I know I don't have to ask you to look after our daughter, you will do that anyway. But please tell her that I love her and tell her about me. With you and out family by her side I know she will grow up to be a strong, loving and independent person. Now I'm sure your curious as to what is in the box. In there are letters and gifts that are dated. On those dates would you please give them to our daughter. I wish I could have been there for all her milestones in life but that simply couldn't happen so this is the next best thing. I hope you will do this for be Ben.

I have always and will always love you with all my heart,

I love you, my Benny-Boo :)

Your Mal xx

Ben couldn't help but smile at the letter in his hands. He looked up at the large framed photo of him and Mal on the wall, smiling sadly. "I love you too, my purple haired Queen." Ben said before he remembered the smaller envelope. Carefully he opened it, glancing over at his peacefully sleeping daughter as he did so. He pulled out a photo of the day their daughter, Isabelle, was born. Turning it over he couldn't help but smile at the writing on the back.

The best day of my life.

The day my gorgeous little girl, Isabelle, was born.

Mommy loves you baby xx

The brunette couldn't help but smile as he placed the photo on the cabinet next to his daughter's crib. He propped it up against something so that when Belle woke up she would see the photo of her mother holding her the day she was born. And for the first time since Mal's funeral he picked up the baby monitor and left their bedroom to go and find the others, but especially his sister, Malice and Amy.

Author's Note: So I don't know if this is any good or not so for now it will remain a one shot. Please review and let me know what you think and also if I should turn it into a multi chapter story x
