Hey everyone. Thank you so much for the positive response to my story. I mean all the reviews, favourites and follows make me so motivated to write a new chapter as soon as I got home from school (which was boring by the way).

So anyway, here's the response to the reviews so far. If you don't see your reviews on the info page of the story, I hope you don't feel hurt because its not that I didn't moderate them, but it is because I can't figure out how to moderate it on the app. I also can't find my pms eventhough I reload the app again and again so if you don't want me to respond to your pms via chapter, please tell me and I will remove it and try to find another way to respond to your pm.

Reviews:

1) Fan:Please uplode the next chapther soon! :)

-- Here you go and thank you so much for reading.

2)JEN-M:

-1)No wonder Hades felt Maleficent was going to drive him insane! Glad he already fell in love with his baby. Hades really doesn't appreciate, having to bow to his wife's every whim. He's gonna crack! I like the title Princess of the Underwood.Love this fic so far!

-2)This was an Awesome chapter too! I bet most of the family quarrels will be about how to raise Mal! Maybe some future chapters, like every 5 chapters will have Mal's P.O.V.? I love this story. Hope to read more soon!

--Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for reviewing both chapters. I'm sure that whoever Maleficent married (in and out of the realm of Descendants) would have gone mad just from being married to the queen of madness herself (or maybe princess of madness as the queen of heart probably has that title for herself. Don't tell either of her majesties though.). I agree it's a good thing Hades loves his daughter because watching them was honestly so cute and probably envious by even the most loved children in the world. And thank you for liking the title Princess of the Underworld. I think its really suitable (and cute) for baby Mal.

--I wouldn't say they quarrel much because Hades probably try not to be too loud in front of the baby but yes they will have different opinions on raising Mal, which is the whole point of this story. This story is going to be how different she would be if she was raised by Hades or Maleficent so its going to have Hades, Mal and Maleficent's perspective of things. There may be more than just them but those three are the ones that will definitely be prominent though for the time being, Mal's voice will be quite quiet as she is still young. Thank you so much for reviewing and I hope to receive more of your reviews as they brighten my day.

PMs:

1) Katalin Kat Royal: Would you be interested in joining my Descendants roleplay?

--I would love too except I'm currently swamped with school and this story is secretly being written so I don't think I'll be able to fully participate if I join. Thank you for the offer though and I hope you enjoy this story.

2) danifan3000: since hades has a son named Hadie in the isle of the lost books (some are prequals and others are sequels to the movies) will there be any interactions between Mal and Hadie in your story "growing up with Hades vs Maleficent"?

--That has been something I was contemplating on but I don't think I will because sometimes all the official Descendants books and cartoons in my opinion conflict with the movie, which will make it very confusing, so I am sad to say that no, Hadie will not be involved eventhough there can be quite a few things to write with the addition of Hadie to this story. Thank you for your message and I hope you enjoy the story.

Once again thank you for the love everyone and sorry for this huge part before the actual story. I hope you enjoy reading the next two chapters.

Hades' POV

"C'mon Maleficent. You can't be serious!" I tried urging her to change her mind.

"Well she has to learn at some point!" She countered loudly, making Mal wake up crying. "Now look at what you did. You have awoken the beast." Maleficent grumbled and it took all my strength to not roll my eyes at her.

"Yes, eventually. But not when she's barely a month old." I picked her up and started rocking her, making her quickly calm down. But my efforts were all in vain when Maleficent plucked her from my arms and started dangling her.

"You're hurting her!" I try to keep my voice low so as to not make Mal panic but the way Maleficent is holding her is making my heart do cartwheels and somersaults.

"Good. The pain will help her remember what she should and shouldn't do when she's older." Maleficent continued to hold Mal by her skin little arms that are devoid of any meat and muscle. It sends swords into my heart just watching my little girl being handled with the farthest thing from care, and yet I can't help but be amazed by how much strength this tiny being possesses.

"Maleficent! Get that crazy idea out of your head and put her down!" I lost my patience, but when my daughter's life is possibly at stake, I shouldn't have any to begin with.

"And if I don't?" She taunted by making Mal hold herself up with only 1 hand. By now, Mal had stopped crying and was looking very much like she was trying to save her strength for keeping herself from falling. Clever girl.

"I'll take her away and raise her myself!" I threatened because I can't bear the thought of Mal having to grow up being treated like this by her own mother. Maleficent seemed to have an evil glint in her eye at that.

Less than gently, she put Mal down on a table and turned towards me, staring me straight in the eyes. Hers glowed green and I'm pretty sure mine echoed it. "You'll do nothing of the sort." She firmly states and it takes all my will to pretend I'm under her control.

"Yes your evilness." I drone 'mindlessly' and she looks away breaking the contact. Honestly though, I'm a god and I shouldn't have to put up with mortals like her. If it wasn't for Mal, I would have left Maleficent months ago because she is nothing like how she was before we got married. At least then she was somewhat reasonable, but now she's not the easiest person to get along with.

"Now Mal. Time to make mommy proud and walk." She picked her up from the small coffee table and put her on the longer dining table. After a few seconds of nothing, Maleficent stared into her eyes and seemed to put her into a trance that made her try using her uncontrollable limbs to walk.

Hastily but clumsily, she tried to get up, only to fall off the edge. I quickly ran towards her and caught her just before she hit the ground. I held her close to me and whispered into her ear. "Daddy's got you." I tried to soothe her. "Daddy's always got you."

At that point, Maleficent gave up and decided to call it a night. Internally I smiled because this is when I really get to spend time with my baby. I cuddle her and just enjoy these precious moments with her because I don't know how much more of these we will share, especially with Maleficent lurking around.

A few months and more of Maleficents crazy ideas later, I've had enough.
