On May 11th, the day before the search for Mal was going down, Evie met with Ben to discuss a very important part of a new heir of Auradon, the naming process. Ten names, five for boys and five for girls are set apart specifically for the King and queen to use for their children. No one else was allowed to use these names. Ben and Mal had yet to release their first set to the public before Mal went missing. So, naturally Evie decided that it was her place to go and ask Ben.

Ben was sitting in his office, patiently waiting for the next day to come, the day of the large and intense search for Mal. He was not expecting a visit from Evie so when his office door swung open and revealed her he was in complete shock.

"Hey Ben, I need to ask you an important question. It's about the baby." She sat down in a chair in front of his desk and sat up straight, she was trying to remain calm despite the fact that on the inside she was scared.

"Yes Evie what do you need? Is it a birth certificate for your baby with the sixteen years agreement? I will be-" Before he could even finish that sentence she stopped him dead in his tracks.

"No, it's not that. What names did you and Mal decide on?" She knew it would be a hard question to ask, but it had to be done. She had to know. If she knew if she ever met someone with the name she knew that Mal's baby had made it, and could ask them about Mal.

Ben shifted positions and decided that he should just give a straight answer, he needed to say them out loud.

"For a girl, Aria Rose. For a boy, Rylan Liam." He choked up at that last one. He knew that if they had a son, then the hopeful future king would one day become King Rylan. If they had a daughter it would be Queen Aria.

Evie gave Ben a sentimental look. She was about to reach out and hug him when she felt the sudden urge to just back off. He needed his time to think and plan out the next day.She stood up slowly, a task that was none too easy with her large bump in the way and went to the door, Ben's head was in his hands, a place she had seen his head a lot in the past few months. She went to the door and opened it a little bit before calling out to him.

"Ben?" she inquired.

"Yes, Evie?"

"Those names are beautiful."

The last thing she saw before leaving was him smiling at her, and she closed the door and whispered to herself.

"She's out there somewhere."

Back inside the small office Ben sat pondering, every time the guards went there they would search Maleficent's house to check to see if she had taken her daughter back to evil. Every time they said they could feel a magic sense, even though magic didn't work in Auradon. He was determined to figure that out.

The day went on and the final plans were set. Tomorrow, May 12th, guards would arrive to the Isle of the Lost and demand everyone stayed in their homes. A call would be made to the fairy godmother to place a spell on the barrier that anyone without Fae blood would not be able to make noise, therefore only Maleficent, Mal and the baby could. Immediately upon their arrival they would go to the center most point of the Isle in order to hear of any commotion. They would repeat this everyday, while staying in a security locked home in the center most part overnight, patiently waiting to hear a scream or at least a loud cry spread through the Isle. Upon hearing the noise they would report to where they heard the noise and investigate from there. If they we're to find Mal, then she would be rescued and returned to Auradon and sent to the hospital. If they didn't find her within a month, then it would be the last grand search. Ben just couldn't handle another one.

On May 12th, was the first day of the grand what the people of Auradon started calling

"The Scream Search" it was Mal's Due Date as well. The guards marched and ordered every person of the Isle to stay inside all day, and if they didn't they would be punished according to the King.

At nine in the morning they arrived in Auradon on their motor scooters, they were properly locked up and they headed to the center-most part of the Isle, where all noise could be heard. They stood at attention and waited there.While waiting the head guard made the official call to Fairy Godmother. She placed the spell without a hitch. They stay at their post and wait until they hear a scream. That's when they would run towards the direction. And wait for the next one. This started the very long process of sitting and waiting, for Mal to be ready.

Mal was stuck inside as usual, and had been in horrible pain all day long. It was her due date and she prayed every single day that somehow she could make it back to Auradon. There were guards from Auradon at the Isle today, she wanted to stand up, she wanted to leave. She wanted to yell to the guards that she was here, hidden and that she wanted to come home, be their queen and live in Auradon with the baby and Evie and all of her friends. Her daydreaming was cut short when her mother entered the room.

"Ohhh Mal!" Entered Maleficent, "How are you and that little one?" Maleficent was a cruel person, that was a fact. She had seen Mal on the Isle that fateful day, she knew she was to have a baby and she decided to turn her baby to evil. If she couldn't get Mal then she could get her grandchild.So, she saw Mal and used the Magic she had in her to kidnap her, and as long as she had Mal, she had magic. Since she was part Auradon.

"I am abso-ow-lutley horrible mom." Said Mal wincing in pain. She closed her eyes very tightly and scrunched her face up. Her breathing started to be wavered.

Maleficent turned around to face her daughter, sitting on her bed her arms wrapped around her bump the pain in her face. Her purple hair was a mess and all she could see in her daughter was weakness. "Oh really?" Questioned Maleficent, "how so?" She concluded.

Mal day up a bit and before she could even say anything weaves her eyebrows together and her breathing became struggled again. She sat like this for only a few seconds and then began.

"Every couple of minutes, I get the worse pain -ow- I've ever felt in my life."

Maleficent perked up at this, she knew what this meant and her poor daughter didn't.

"Oh, that is excellent news!" She all but shrieked.

She got down to eye level with her daughter and gave an evil smile.

"How so?" Asked Mal, with a confused look in her face. "I'm in pain. That's not good for me or the baby." Mal closed her eyes as the sensation began again. She felt like she was going to throw up.

"Actually daughter it's wonderful for both of you!"

Maleficent watched as her daughter harshly breathed and looked up to her mother, questions in her eyes and a puzzled gaze.

"That baby is coming today!"

———Back In Auradon———

Everyone in Ben's office stood silent. Evie and Doug sat in a chair in the corner. Evie shaking while Doug ran smooth half circles over her hand. Jane and Carlos were in another corner, Carlos bouncing his leg up and down so fast he could beat a hummingbird. Jane day next to him, carefully sitting straight upright, thinking. In a third corner there was Jay, he was with Lonnie.

Jay sat there popping his knuckles every once and a while and then turned to Lonnie and took her hand. They cycle would repeat every couple of minutes.

Everyone sat silent for at least three more minutes before Ben burst into the room. Everyone stood to greet him but Ben quickly announced.

"No need, please sit, we need to discuss."

Everyone in the room sat back down and looked to their king. Ben looked disfigured. His hair was messy and he obviously hadn't shaved in a couple of days. His eyes looked bloodshot from crying and he shook every time someone mentioned his wife.

Ben began, "I got a call from the guards that they have arrived in Auradon, they forgot about the fact that they can hear Maleficent. They have heard her distantly but never calling Mal's name. They hope that if Mal is with her then she will say her name and then they can find her."

Everyone nodded in agreement and to show they understood. Evie decided to speak up.

"Ben, what if Mal is spelled?" She said it quietly but loud enough for the room to hear her.

Ben looked at her and remained silent.

"Then, we try to break it, there has to be a way, somehow."

Once again everyone nodded in agreement and stayed where they are. That is when Carlos has an idea.

"Ben, you know how the Isle has VK day, what if we stop it for I don't know five years."

At this Ben and Evie both became upset and started to yell incoherent things at him when he shot them a look to say.

"Shut up, I'm not done."

Carlos started again,

"That gives a chance for your kid to grow up, granted if we do not find them today, and then we can take one kid at a time every year and really get to know them and DNA test them and everything."

Ben looked to Carlos, then to Evie who gave a nod, then finally to Jay who nodded as well.

He spoke up,

"It's decided then, if Mal and my child are not found within the month, then VK day will come to a halt for five years, to continue to bring one child at a time until we find mine. All those in favor, raise your right hand and say "I"

Everyone is the room did as Ben said to show agreement. That is when Ben stood.

"It's decided then."

——-Back On The Isle——-

Mal laid on her bed with her mother looming over her, Mal had tears streaming down her face. There was nothing to help her with the pain. There was no hand to hold. In that moment she wished she had Ben, on her side holding her hand, telling her how brave and strong she was. Instead, she had her mother, and her mother's crow, Diablo, in human form. Diablo was her mother's assistant and was told to take the baby once it was out of Mal and to make sure it could stay alive.

Mal laid there and cried and cried, occasionally wincing out in pain, but only quietly as not to disturb the guards. She tried to breathe slowly but the pain was too strong for her.

"Oh Mal, now you know how I felt when I was forced to have you." Her mother sneered. Maleficent looked at her daughter and then looked over to Diablo.

"Check her out small bird."

Diablo gave Maleficent a look of discontent. He hated when he called her small bird. Diablo walked to Mal and gave her a look of sentiment. She wished that she could be back in Auradon, ever since Mal was little he had always liked her, she was always sorta nice to him. He walked over to the foot of her bed and looked her in the eyes, all he could see was a scared little girl. He held out a hand for her to hold and squeeze and as she reached her hand to grab in Maleficent swiped it away. Diablo checked her out and turned to his lady.

"She's about ready. Give it ten minutes."

At this Maleficent turned to Mal and glared at her.

"You're going to hate this so so much."

Ten minutes passed quickly. A little too quickly for Mal as she started to cry and would shriek every time she was in pain. At this time in when Diablo walked over to her bedside and whispered in her ear.

"I'm rooting for you, imagine Ben is here holding your hand. Imagine Evie is just outside the room and is waiting to see you. Imagine Carlos holding your baby and commenting how cute he is and how much Dude is going to love them. Imagine Jay running in the tourney field teaching them how to fight tough. You need to be strong."

Mal looked to Diablo and then her pain started again, this time it was fifteen times worse and she screamed out in pain. Her face scrunched together as Diablo went to the foot of her bed and told her to begin pushing.

-

The guards stood at attention dead silent when they heard a scream across the land. They all immediately shot up and looked to their leader who told them to wait for it to happen again, and then listen and run as fast as they could to wherever they thought they heard it.

-

Diablo gently told Mal to push again and she let out a blood curdling scream. She felt like she was being torn in half. She tried to imagine Ben holding her hands, but every time she would start the pain would increase, not physical but emotional.

-

The guards had heard the scream again, and one of them leaped off from where they were ran to the West. Two guards followed while one went to the South. The other guards stood waiting again to get a clearer hearing.

-

Mal couldn't take it anymore, she needed a hospital, she needed Ben. She let out another scream as Diablo held up one finger at her and told her to stop, just because she did, did not mean the pain didn't she continued to scream. Diablo told her to start again and she did as he said.

-

The guards racing to the West were correct as they heard more screams coming from the direction they started to run towards where Maleficent resided, she was at the top floor. They stood just outside the home and waited to hear more.

-

While Mal pushed she felt like she needed to scream again but her voice just wouldn't work. She tried to let her pain out into a scream but she was silenced.

Maleficent looked outside. "The guards are standing right outside our house!" She quickly looked outside and put a curse of silence over the entire house so no one outside could hear them. Mal still couldn't scream and Diablo looked at her and spoke gently.

"Mal, on this next one your baby will be born!"

Mal smiles at the thought as she pushed with all her might, and suddenly the pain ended. She looked down to the foot of her bed and she saw Diablo holding a soft pink baby who was screaming. The sound was like music to her ears. Diablo wrapped the baby in a blanket and handed it to Mal.

-

"I can't hear anything anymore Men!" Yelled a guard to his cohorts.

They all looked to him as the pointed East, far away from where they were supposed to be.

-

Mal held her baby and just cried. She looked to Diablo and asked the important question of

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

Diablo smiles at her gently and looked her in the eyes and smiled at her.

"You have a son, Mal."

Mal looked at her baby and just cried. All she could see was Ben. He had his eyes, his hair, a light to his smile, he was all Ben.

Suddenly however Mal felt the horrible pain again. Diablo gave her a puzzled look as the baby started crying in his mother's arms. Mal was still crying but this time not seeing her son for the first time. Maleficent walked over to her daughter's bedside and began to question her. Mal could only answer in sobs as she let out another piercing scream.

-

"A scream from the west men!" Yelled the main guard.

"But sir! We already checked there, come it could be this way!"

-

Diablo immediately the baby out of Mal's arms much to her dismay and handed him to Maleficent. He looked to Mal and checked her out again, he poked his head up and said.

"I can see another one."

Mal's face lit up. But then she scrunched her face all back up and sobbed some more.

"You need to push you inconsolable daughter!" Yelled Maleficent causing Mal's son to cry. As she saw her son in pain she was in pain, she also cried out. She pushed with all her might once more and Diablo came back up presenting yet another beautifully pink baby. He handed this one to Mal again while tending to her.

-

"Sir! I swear that they are coming from the West! I can hear them!" Yelled a young guard.

The other guards looked to him and told him no. If they couldn't find them by today the search was over. They couldn't do it for a month if on the first day the baby presented itself.

"I will call King Ben!" Yelled another guard.

-

Mal held yet another baby in her arms that she had brought into this world. She was still crying as she turned to her mother.

"She's mine?" She asked. Her mother didn't respond as she began to walk over and take the baby out of her arms. Maleficent began to walk out of the room as Diablo finished before Mal spoke up. She was in hysterics, she didn't even know the gender of her new baby all she knew was that she had a son and another baby.

"No mom please! They need to stay with me! They need to know that I am their mommy! At least tell me the genders!" She cried out to them.

Diablo perked up and looked her in the eyes.

"Son and a daughter," he said. Mal couldn't help but smile.

A prince and a princess. She thought to herself.

Maleficent walked back over to Mal and placed the babies in her awaiting arms. Mal was at the pinnacle of exhaustion, but had never felt better.

"I suppose I will let you name them." Maleficent began. "But do not do something meaningful."

Mal shot her mother a glare and said

"They're mine, I will name them whatever I want to mother."

She looked at them and remembered the names her and Ben had discussed all those days ago. She looked at her son first, how much he resembled Ben. She started to cry as she said,

"For my son, I name you Rylan Liam. Your father and I chose that name because it sounded handsome, and based on how much you look like your daddy, I think it fits."

Then she looked to her daughter, a surprise she thought. Her daughter looked like she did, but with bright blonde hair as she once had. "And for my daughter, Aria Rose."
