Evie had left her dorm room and practically ran to the hospital as soon as she had read the text from Belle. She hadn't even bothered to respond to it, she just wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Which is why now she was sat on one of the hard plastic chairs in the waiting room. The receptionist refused to tell her anything including which room the toddler was in which infuriated the blue haired teen. She simply wanted to make sure the little girl was safe and not scared but they wouldn't tell her anything.

She had been sat there silently fuming for around an hour when she noticed a familiar woman in yellow walk through the entrance. Evie stood immediately and headed to the former Queen.

"Evie, how is Mal? Is she okay? What's going on?" Belle rambled off to the teenager before she noticed the anger in her eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked the teenaged girl.

"I've been here over an hour and they wont tell me anything!" Evie exclaimed. "I haven't even seen Mal because she" The blue haired girl started to explain before pointing at the receptionist. "won't even tell me what room Mal is in." The girl finished.

Belle wore an angry look of her own at the girls explanation. "Follow me." Belle practically demanded of the teenage girl before storming off towards the reception. "A two and a half year old by the name of Mal has been brought in here. What room is she in?" The mother demanded to know.

"I'm sorry I can't give you that information." The receptionist answered without even looking up, so she had no idea who she was talking to. Her response only fuelled Belle's anger though.

The angry/worried mother slammed her hand down on the desk causing the blonde receptionist to look up stunned. "That girl is two and a half years old." Belle stated, completely fuming with the other woman's audacity. "She is living under my roof and I am in the process of adopting her. So I will ask again, what room is she in?"

"Seven." The receptionist squeaked out.

Belle with Evie in tow turned and marched through the doors and down the corridor to room seven without even thanking the receptionist or even giving her a backwards glance. Evie couldn't help but be shocked at the way Belle had spoken to the woman. She expected that kind of behaviour from Adam and even Ben but not the benevolent Queen she was currently following.

As Belle reached the door to room seven she didn't even bother to knock on the closed hospital door she just pushed it open and walked in. Her eyes immediately locked onto Mal laid on the bed. She could see the girl had been bandaged around her shoulder (where she assumed Mal had a cut of some sort) and she could see the young girls breathing her evened out and she looked to be asleep.

"Belle, is everything okay?" Fairy Godmother asked. Belle knew she meant Maleficent but really she just wanted to talk about Mal.

"Fine." The former Queen responded, her tone of voice effectively ending the conversation surrounding Maleficent. "How's Mal?" She asked the older fairy, as she watched Evie move towards the toddlers bed.

"She has a cut on her shoulder. Apparently she had been thrown into something. But other then that it's just bruises." Fairy Godmother told the mother. Belle couldn't help but feel even more mad. She just couldn't understand how someone could treat the toddler in such a way. The purple haired child was so innocent and it hurt the mother deeply so know someone could treat a defenceless child in such a way.

It was then that Mal's doctor came back into the room, bowing as soon as he noticed the former Queen was now there. "Your Majesty." He said in a way of greeting. Belle merely nodded her head in acknowledgement. She still hadn't taken her eyes off the young girl on the bed. Even with Evie running her fingers through the purple locks the toddler still had yet to wake or move. "Well everything looks normal with Mal. She is merely bruised and has a cut to her shoulder as I'm sure Fairy Godmother has told you." Belle nodded to him again. "I'm sure Mal would be more comfortable at home rather then in here so I have no problem in discharging her. She needs plenty of rest and I will prescribe some child medication in case the pain becomes a little too much for her. I will be back shortly with her medication and papers."

With that the doctor turned and left as Belle released a breath she hadn't realised she had been holding. She was so happy Mal would be home today. As Belle and Fairy Godmother shared a relieved smile Mal began to wake up. "Evie?" The little girl asked as she saw the blue haired teen stood over her. The little girl didn't understand why she was with Evie when the last thing she remembered she had been in her mommy's arms.

"Yeah, it me Mal. Your safe now." Evie reassured the girl.

"Where mommy?" She asked the teen stood next to her and Evie couldn't help but smile. She knew the toddler was talking about Belle. Evie knew as a teen Mal looked at the former Queen as a mother figure and apparently that hadn't changed since she had become a toddler. Evie waved the older woman over. "Mommy!" The girl exclaimed holding her hands up to the brunette woman silently asking to be lifted up. Belle complied immediately and held the young girl close to her, not noticing Evie snap a quick picture on her phone.

A few hours later saw Belle walked into Castle Beast with Mal struggling in her arms clearly wanting to be put down. Belle knew she should rest but she also knew Mal was a two and a half year old and getting her to rest when she wanted to play was damn near impossible. So she walked quietly to the family room doorway and upon seeing both her husband and Ben in there she finally gave into Mal and placed her gently on the floor.

Mal had also seen the two Kings in the room and ran around the couch towards them, excitedly. "Benny! Daddy!" She exclaimed, shocking both of them while Belle looked on smiling. It was the first time Mal had called Adam anything other then his name and since they were in a rush Belle forgot to mention the young girl calling her mommy.

Finally the royal family were able to relax. Maleficent was locked away and not able to use her magic and Mal was back at home with them. They still didn't know how they would deal with Chad but they would figure it out together later. For now they simply wanted to spend time with the toddler who never failed to make them smile.

Author's Note: Okay so I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. But I do have one question for you; how do you think Ben should handle Chad? Should he have the same treatment as Maleficent for what he did or should he have a different punishment? Please leave me a review and let me know what you think x
