NOBODY'S POV
Once Fairy Godmother left her conversation with Belle, she rushed inside, hoping to catch Nurse Brie and ask her some questions. She rushed inside and headed straight for the west wing of the hospital hoping that she would be there. Fairy Godmother poked her head into the staff room however, Brie wasn't there. Next, she checked Mal's hospital room but again, she wasn't there. Unfortunately, she couldn't find Brie anywhere else so instead Fairy Godmother went to the front Reception desk to find out some answers. "Hello I'm looking for Nurse Brie" Fairy Godmother spoke to the overly chirpy receptionist. The receptionist began to type on her keyboard too fast for Fairy Godmother to comprehend what she is writing. "Nurse Brie is currently on a home call right now but is there anything I can help you with?" the receptionist asked. Fairy Godmother stared the receptionist up and down before answering. "Actually, I might need a favor, can you tell me how many patients were brought in today that was born in the year 2000?" The receptionist began typing fast until a quiet ding was heard. "There were three patients brought in today but one was brought in today that was born in that year." The receptionist replied. Fairy Godmother thanked the receptionist before walking back down the opposite hallway. She brushed past some doctors and some nurses before stopping at a room. It was the same room where Brie started her investigation. Fairy Godmother placed her hand on the cold silver door handle and slowly opened the door.
Luckily the room was empty, Fairy Godmother took a step inside and began to peer her head around the room looking for evidence. She walked over to the blood analyzer where there were several pieces of paper on the desk in front of it. Slowly, Fairy Godmother reached her hand out and was about to grab the paper until a voice broke her concentration. "What are you doing Fairy Godmother?" She turned to see the owner of the voice, it was Brie. "I need answers and I believe that you are the only one who can give me them" Fairy Godmother responded as she retracted her hand and pulled a desk chair up to her. "What can I do for you?" Brie asked in her southern accent as she also pulled up a chair. "I would like to see your reports and paperwork on Aurora's missing daughter please" Fairy Godmother Requested. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Doctor-Patient confidentiality," Brie replied as she fixed her hair. "Well, I'm pretty sure that this missing child is a pupil of mine at Auradon Prep, am I correct? Would I also be correct in stating that every dime the school makes goes into funding the hospital? So, I should be able to know who this child is." Fairy Godmother tried to persuade Brie into giving her the answer. When Brie didn't seem to be convinced, Fairy Godmother started to stare her down to the point where she felt so uncomfortable that she had to comply. "Fine, but it does not leave this room until the patient is well and the family has come to terms with finding her" Brie compromised. Fairy Godmother Shook her head. Brie stood up from her chair and made her way over to the desk that was behind Fairy Godmother. She ripped the piece of paper off the table and sat back down. "After running their blood through the analyzer, I began to read through the results and the information I already had to try and fill in any missing pieces. Everything seemed normal until I read down towards the bottom of the page where some information was missing. The origins of the patient were missing as was their parents on my report so when I checked the printed one, the origins stated that the patient was from Auroria and that their parents were indeed Aurora and Phillip." Brie took a breath. "The patient was Mal" Fairy Godmother stared at Brie in disbelief even though she already had an idea that it was Mal. "So, Mal?" Fairy Godmother asked. Brie nodded her head. "I believe that the person who took her was hired by Maleficent. I believe that it was someone that held a grudge against the Beauty's but had access to the barrier against the Isle." Fairy Godmother stood up and began to fix her skirt. She held her hand out towards Brie, which she gladly took, Fairy Godmother then thanked her for agreeing to not say a word to anyone.
Once Fairy Godmother Left the room and closed the door, she took a couple steps and turned down the hallway, where she accidentally bumped into Adam. "Hello Fairy Godmother, the Limo is waiting outside, would you like a ride back to school or the castle?" he asked. Fairy Godmother took a minute to compose herself. "No thank you, Adam, I have places I need to be but have a safe journey back" She bid farewell to Adam before zooming down the empty hallway. Adam stared at the blur of blue at the end of the hallway that was Fairy Godmother. He then turned around and went back down the opposite hall and back to the limo.
Pat pulled open one of the back doors of the limo to allow Adam inside. When Adam crawled inside he was greeted by the smiling faces of his wife and son, his possible future daughter in law and her friends. Once Pat closed the door to Adam's side of the limo, he entered the driver's side and began to drive back to Castle Beast. During the ride, Mal fell asleep while leaning against Ben and Evie had fallen asleep while leaning against the car door.
Once they had arrived at Castle Beast, there was a swarm of Paparazzi that surrounded the car. Jay nudged Evie awake while Ben took Mal in his arms. Adam was the first to open a door but as he did, the lights from the cameras invaded the Limo and blinded Carlos. Adam took Belle's hand and pushed through that swarm of photographers. Trailing behind them was Carlos, Evie, and Jay. Then behind them was Ben carrying a sleeping Mal. While making their way up the castle steps, Mal began to slip from Ben's hold, Carefully, he bounced her back up into his grip but making sure that he didn't touch her side.
As the huge castle doors opened, everyone stepped inside and took a moment to soak in the warmth that the castle provided. Ben immediately took Mal up to his bedroom, where he gently laid her down and cover her bottom half with a blanket. He slowly took off her shoes and earrings before taking her hair out of the bun that Evie did that morning. Silently, he backed away from his bed and made his way out of the bedroom. Once he heard a click coming from the door, he turned around only to become literally face to face with Jay. Shyly, Ben stepped back to stop it becoming too awkward, however, Jay had other ideas. He stepped closer to Ben and grabbed him by his ironed suit jacket collar and pushed him against the wall. "Just a little warning, if you as so much move a hair out of place from her head, King or not, I will end you." Jay smiled before letting go of the teen king and walking away looking pretty pleased with himself.
Jay walked down the steps and into the kitchen where he was met by Belle, Evie, Carlos and Mrs. Potts. "Hey, How's Mal?" Evie asked. "She's fine, still asleep though. But Ben seems to be taking good care of her" Jay replied as he grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl before sitting down on the counter. Evie shooed him off the counter and pointed him towards a chair before Carlos spoke. "King or not, if he even moves a hair out of place on Mal, he's dead" Carlos then throws Belle a sorry but not sorry look. That's when Jay bursts out laughing. "Jay, what's so funny?" Evie asks as she looks up from her sketch pad. "Ya know, I just said the exact same thing to him when I saw him on the stairs" Belle lets a small giggle slip. "You can really tell that you both grew up together, you know that?" She says before slipping a batch of muffins into the oven.
A few hours later Mal descends from the stairs and into the large living room, where everyone seems to be watching television and chatting about the show. Mal just stands at the door while admiring her family. Evie turns her head slightly to respond to Ben's comment about the show but then she spots Mal. "Mal come join us" Evie practically yells and pats down the seat next to her. Mal slowly waddles over to the seat next to Evie and tries to sit down pain-free however that wasn't working as she had to grip her side to help her sit down. Everyone noticed this and turned their attention towards her. "I'm fine, really guys, calm down," Mal says as she starts to notice that everyone in the room is staring at her. After her comment, the room stayed in silence apart from the TV blaring in the background. "Would you like a Muffin Mal? Belle and I made them while you were sleeping" Carlos offers as he picks up the plate of cold Muffins. Mal reaches out her hand and picks one up. She takes a bite and turns to Carlos "Wow, these are really Good Carlos, definitely better than the ones you made on the Isle" Mal comments as she takes another bite. Evie and Jay start chuckling over the memory of Carlos making muffins on the Isle. Belle, Ben, and Adam share a confused look so Evie takes it upon herself to explain what happened.
"Well on the isle, there is barely any light, heat, gas, and food. Mal's Birthday was coming up and we wanted to do something special as her mother always made her birthday one to be remembered but in a bad way. Anyway, I was raked with decorating the clubhouse because I had quite the eye for fashion. Jay was tasked with presents because his father runs a stall and he's an amazing thief. Carlos was then tasked with food because he's small and can run fast, he could get to the new shipment quickly and find the best scraps and run away without being caught." Evie started
"While searching, I found left over cake batter and a couple of broken matches. I took everything back to the club house and then found some small broken plant pots to use as the muffin cases." Carlos interrupted Evie.
"Then Carlos sat in the middle of the club house for hours pouring the left-over batter into the plant pots and then holding a lit match underneath each plant pot hoping to cook them. It kinda worked, however, it was more 90% batter and 10% edible cake." Evie finished.
"So, what if they didn't work? Mal still gave me 10/10 for creativity. There wasn't much available on the Isle so it was a lucky find for the batter" Carlos retaliated. Belle and Adam gripped each other's hands and stared down the Isle teens "we are so sorry that you had to live like that." Adam spoke up while holding his shaking wife. "Honestly Adam, it's fine, we don't care about it anymore, the past is past, Forgive, forget," Carlos said as he took another muffin from the plate. Everything else during the night began to flow.
[Meanwhile in Auroria…]
Aurora, Phillip, Leah, and Audre were all sat in the family room around the fireplace talking about their day. "Actually Aurora and I have an announcement," Phillip said as he stood up and took his glass of wine in one hand and his wife's hand in the other. "Audrey, we…." Phillip began but was then silenced by a knock on their castle door. He gently placed his wife's hand down and set his drink down as he headed towards the main door.
Slowly he opened the huge door to be greeted by a hooded woman in black "We need to talk immediately" She pulled down her hood to reveal her face to the prince. "Of course, please do come in," Phillip said as he widened the door to allow the woman into his home.
