Requestor: Bethany Tucker

When Davina entered the 3rd grade, she loved it. She had all her best friends in her class and her teacher, Mrs. Beale, was super nice. She read really fun books and made every subject fun, even math. Plus, she'd always hang up the drawings the students made and she gave out prizes if you did your homework on time. Davina thought third grade was amazing. However, Mrs. Beale was pregnant at the beginning of the school year and right before Christmas break, she went on maternity leave. When Davina came back after winter break, she wasn't pleased to find a substitute teacher.

Mrs. Fitzgerald was a lot different then Mrs. Beale. Mrs. Beale was in her late twenties while Mrs. Fitzgerald was sixty five. Mrs. Beale was always encouraging the students imagination and creativity while Mrs. Fitzgerald focused on realistic goals and science. Mrs. Beale gave out prizes and was fun. Mrs. Fitzgerald only gave out stern warnings and loved rules with a passion. Davina hated her. And she decided that Mrs. Fitzgerald didn't deserve her respect.

At first, Davina just talked more in class and wouldn't be silent during silent reading time. Then she started not finishing her assignments and mocking her teacher if she told her to do something. After two weeks of that, Mrs. Fitzgerald hit her breaking point with the 'devil child' as she called her.

Mal and Ben had driven to Davina's school, since they decided to surprise her with ice cream after school. They usually had Ms. Potts pick her up from school due to their busy schedule lately. The couple had been focused a lot on the upcoming baby and they hadn't be with Davina as much as they liked to be. So they decided to be with her for the rest of the afternoon and the next day, they planned on taking her on a fun day trip of her choosing.

"I'll go in to pick her up, you stay here," Mal said, kissing her husband on the cheek before she walked inside to pick up her daughter. She walked into the office to sign her out when the secretary stopped her.

"Mrs. Fitzgerald would like to speak with you if you have the time," she said, causing Mal to grow worried. Was Davina okay? Did she do something wrong? That seemed highly unlikely since her daughter was always an angel, well, for the most part.

When Mal arrived at her daughter's classroom, she was surprised at what she saw. She saw her daughter sitting on a seat next to her teacher's desk, her head down but that's not what shocked her. Her daughter's substitute teacher, who she had not met yet, was standing next to her daughter, covered in glitter.

"Oh my goodness, what happened?" Mal asked, walking over to her daughter.

"I'm glad I could speak with you today," Mrs. Fitzgerald said, sitting down behind her desk, "Please, have a seat." Mal sat down next to her daughter. She looked over at her, but Davina wouldn't meet her eyes.

"We haven't met yet, I'm Mal," Mal said, holding out her hand to the teacher.

"I know who you are," Mrs. Fitzgerald said, not shaking hands. Mal put her hand down and put on a fake smile, as this women was starting to get on her nerves.

"The reason I asked to meet with you is because over the past two weeks, your daughter has become a menace in my classroom," Mrs. Fitzgerald started, causing Mal to look at her in shock.

"A menace? What did she do?"

"Ever since I started teaching this class, she has given me nothing but attitude. She talks when I'm trying to teach and won't be silent during silent reading. She talks back to me and disobeys ever order I give. She doesn't follow directions and she doesn't finish half her assignments. And today, oh today, she crossed the line. I gave the children an assignment to draw their favorite animal and write three facts about them. When I was walking around the classroom checking on the students, I saw that Davina had misunderstood the directions," Mrs. Fitzgerald explained.

"I didn't misunderstand the directions, I was drawing my favorite animal!" Davina protested from her seat but one look from her mother made her quiet.

"Unicorns aren't animals. And when I took her paper and told her to start over, she was obviously angry with me. When I walked over to help a few other students, this child came up behind me and poured a bucket of glitter over me. Thank god the day was almost over when it happened and the TA could help the class clean up and be dismissed while I dealt with her," Mrs. Fitzgerald finished. To say Mal was shocked would be an understatement. Davina was always happy and kind and nice. She wasn't mean to people. Sure, she wasn't afraid to speak her mind but she didn't talk back to her teachers or pour glitter on them.

"I am so sorry Mrs. Fitzgerald. This isn't like the Davina I know and she will definitely be punished when we get home," Mal said, before turning to her daughter, "Davina, is there anything you want to say to Mrs. Fitzgerald?"

"Yeah, I hate you and I hope you go back to what ever looney bin you came from!" Davina shouted, glaring at her teacher. Mrs. Fitzgerald gasped in shocked and glared at the child. Mal stood up in shock and walked over to her daughter.

"Davina! We do not hate people!" Mal said before turning to Mrs. Fitzgerald, "I am so so sorry about her behavior and I promise this won't happen again." She motioned for Davina to get up and she began walking to the door when she heard Mrs. Fitzgerald mutter something under her breath.

"Doesn't surprise me. She is your daughter after all." Mal turned around, anger evident on her face.

"Excuse me?"

"All I'm saying is that you were raised by a villain. I can't even imagine what you teach her at home," Mrs. Fitzgerald said. Alright, Mal already didn't like this Mrs. Fitzgerald person and now she was crossing a line.

"Alright, I get that my daughter hasn't been the nicest to you and that will change, but I raised her well. I'm not my mother and I raised my daughter to be a kind and loving person," Mal said, standing a few feet in front of the teacher.

"Well you did an amazing job," Mrs. Fitzgerald said, her words dripping with sarcasm. Mal was burning with rage but most of it was probably the hormones.

"You know what, from what I've seen of you from this brief moment together, I don't blame my daughter for what she did. You seem like a heartless person who shouldn't be anywhere near children, much less teaching them. If it were up to me, I'd have you fired and you know what, maybe I will," Mal said, her hormones getting the better of her.

Now, while all this was going on, Ben was sitting in the car. After a few minutes of waiting, he got concerned. So he got out of the car and walked into the office. The secretary explained what happened as she showed Ben to Davina's classroom. When he arrived, he heard Mrs. Fitzgerald's and Mal's fight.

"Mal, calm down," he said, walking into the classroom. He walked over to his wife and put his hands on her shoulders. "It's just your hormones speaking now. This anger isn't good for the baby. Davina and I will meet you in the car, go." He kissed her on her forehead before Mal left. Mal gave Mrs. Fitzgerald one final glare before she left.

"Mrs. Fitzgerald, I apologize on behalf of my daughter and wife. I assure you this won't happen again and Davina will behave in class on Monday. However, next time, be careful with how you speak to your queen," Ben said to Mrs. Fitzgerald before turning and picking up Davina and walking out the door. "Have a good day Mrs. Fitzgerald."

Ben walked down the hall until he found a bench which he sat Davina down on. He kneeled down in front of his daughter and noticed how she wouldn't meet his eyes. Her eyes fell to the ground. When the secretary told Ben what had happened, a small part of him wasn't surprised. Yes, his daughter was a kind and loving person and the thought of her being rude to someone shocked him. But Ben figured she'd act out sooner or later. With her parents focused on the new baby, their attention was away from Davina, which had never happened before. It was common for kids to act out when they don't have their parents attention.

"Davina, look at me," Ben said softly, taking his daughter's hand in his. Davina shook her head, her eyes glued to the floor. "Davina, look at me, please." After another minute of coaxing, Davina's eyes left the floor and met her fathers.

"Why did you pour glitter on Mrs. Fitzgerald?" Ben asked. Davina shrugged before answering.

"She said that unicorns weren't animals and it made me mad," Davina said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I know that's not the only reason Davina," Ben said, "Why were you mean to Mrs. Fitzgerald?"

"Because I don't like her," Davina said, her eyes drifting away from Ben's, a sign she was lying.

"Davina, tell me the truth."

"Because she's not Mrs. Beale! After Christmas, she was the only one left that loved me and then she was gone too," Davina said, "And Mrs. Fitzgerald didn't like us, she was always strict and mean and didn't care about our drawings."

"Davina, what do you mean Mrs. Beale was the only person left that loved you? There are tons of people that love you. There's all your aunties and uncles and cousins and everyone at the palace and your mom and I," Ben said. Did Davina think that her parents didn't love her anymore?

"Yeah, but when the baby comes they're all gonna love the baby and not me. You and mommy already love the baby more than me so they will too," Davina said, a few tears falling down her face. When Davina said that, Ben's heart broke. How could Davina think they don't love her. Sure they were busy preparing for the new baby but they always told her that they loved her.

"Davina, your mother and I love you so much and nothing will ever change that. Just because we've been focused on the new baby doesn't mean we don't love you. You're our princess and nothing will ever change that," Ben said, wiping away Davina's tears, "Do you understand that?"

"Yes daddy," Davina nodded. Ben smiled and pulled the girl in for a hug. After hugging for a solid minute, Ben stood up with Davina in his arms.

"Come on, we're going to go home and mommy and I are going to help you make an apology card for Mrs. Fitzgerald. And then we're going to bake her 'I'm Sorry' cookies," Ben said, carrying his daughter out to the car. For the whole weekend, the parents were with Davina every second. They would make sure that Davina knew she was loved every minute of her life.

I hope you guys liked that one-shot. I'm really proud of it and it's one of my favorite one-shots I've ever written. Tell me what you guys thought in a review.

Also, I'm going a ton of requests for this story and I promise I will do all of them, but I'm not going to do them in the order I get them just because sometimes I get a prompt and it's just like I have this perfect idea for it and I can't get it out of my head. But I will do all of them, I promise.

Next time: Jay/Carlos and there daughter Taylor.
