Hey everyone, I'm going to try to make this shorter because it's late and I have to go to school tomorrow. But all your love and support has urged me to update so I don't leave you guys hanging. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and I'll try to continuously update throughout the week because its hard sometimes with school and everything.

Reviews:

1) Emily: I love this book.I would like to see a continuation from part 5 where Hades takes care of a sick Mal.

-- Thank you so much for the review and i hope this chapter is up to your expectations. Please continue to read and enjoy this story.

2) Fan: Please uplode the next chapther soon! :DPoor Mal

-- Here you go. And I know its such a sad thing but the worst part of it is that it happens in the real world as well so we gotta pray for a better world. Thank you for your review.

3) danifan3000: since Hades is now raising Mal on his own, I wonder if there's anyone Hades trusts to babysit Mal whenever he goes out? or if Mal will get some playdates with some other villain kids.

and with Mal being raised by Hades I wonder if Mal will be invited to Evie's 6th birthday party since Mal might be classified as the daughter of Hades, given the fact that in the first book in the prologue, Mal and Evie were originally enemies because EQ wouldn't invite Mal because of her rivalry with Maleficent

-- We'll see about that and as for the part with Evie's birthday, I already have something in mind so you'll just have to wait and read.

4) Katie: I have a suggestion for a future chapter.Mal has a nightmare and Hades comforts her.

-- That's a really good idea so thank you. Maybe we will see it in future chapters. Thank you for the review.

5) JEN-M:

a) Hades has had it with his "darling" wife! A competition for baby supplies! I really dislike Auradon at the moment. That henchman is a lousy, dumb, good-for-nothing baby sitter!Dr. Facilier and Hades are friends! Great! Maybe Freddie and Celia will play with Mal.Oh! And Mal's sick! I hope she gets better!This was an excellent chapter. Thank you.

b) M:If the chapters where Hades decides to defy Maleficent made me laugh and "Awww", then this one made me sigh and cry! It was tragically beautiful.This how I'd imagine it happened in Canon. I still prefer him running off with Mal.Mal's thoughts are so heart-breakingly innocent. And actually even Maleficent's P.O.V. makes me think maybe her faith in anything Auradon promotes doesn't work for villains is too strong. This was masterfully done. BOTH chapters!

--I'm guessing Auradon wouldnt exactly think about the villains having children as well until they're already born so... Yes. Maleficent's henchmen are the worst. In this story, Freddie doesn't exist because I'm not including Wicked World parts so sorry. And Celia isn't born yet so I dont think there will be much interaction between them.

--Thank you so much for the praise. I feel so honored that you enjoy and think so highly of my work. Thank you for your reviews and I hope you continue to enjoy reading and reviewing.

Thank you once again everyone for all the love and I hope you enjoy the next two chapters.

Hades' POV

Her temperature keeps rising and so does my panicking. For a moment I contemplate bringing her to town but that would be dangerous because Maleficent is probably on the look out for her right now. I decide to just cool her down first by placing her on the ground and finding one her teething rings to chill so I can place it beside her.

As soon as she's settled and changed into something cooler, it's about time for a feed and change so I quickly do so before putting her down for her nap. As she sleeps in the make-shift bed, I sit and eat a quick lunch, because I would be no help if I got sick too, though I'm a god so I shouldn't be able to get sick, while watching over her. Her temperature has gone down a little since this morning so I've decided she should be ok to wait until night when we can leave to find somewhere that could help us.

Once day turns to night and it's safe however, her fever's spiked and I'm in a panic once again. I bundle her up as best as I can and try to shush her cries of discomfort. It's useless however because her temperature is so high she's practically radiating heat, and I know it's the farthest thing from comfortable however. As we walk through the night, I can only hope she'll be better by morning.

Maleficent's POV

I wake up to an eerily quiet morning. Usually by now, the brat would be making a racket while Hades finds her a bottle and changes her. Utterly embarrassing if you ask me because by now, fairies should be able to do things for themselves, even finding food and potion ingredients. Sure, the young fae might get occasionally distracted but they still manage to conjure up simple spells and potions that eventually lead to grander and more disastrous things. Mal is seriously behind and we have to get her on track soon or else she'll never live up to her full potential.

I get up from my bed and head towards the living area where Hades is usually with Mal doing disgusting acts of affection at this hour. But once I enter the room, it is spotless without any trace of Mal or Hades. I search throughout the castle, thinking Hades decided it was time to show Mal where she's going to grow up and learn to be evil. I would be disappointed if he did that however since we we're supposed to do it together, but at least he's changed his mind about constantly treating her like a princess.

I search the castle top and bottom but find not even a strand of blue or purple hair. My temper flares. There's no way in Auradon Hades would take my evil successor and run off with her would there? I suddenly remember the threat Hades gave all those months ago and anger courses through my veins.

I quickly call up all my minions, even the dumbest ones who couldn't find Aurora, to find my daughter and my husband, and not to rest until they do. They quickly comply and I send them off while thinking where I'm the isle they could go to.

The search prove fruitless as by night, all of the minions came back empty handed. My patience wore thin and I demanded they continued the search, day and night, unit they are found, even if it took 16 years.

Hades' POV

I walk to Jafar's shop, where I know sells anything and everything. There, in front of the shop, I see a boy a little older than Mal with similar features to Jafar so I assume this must be his son. "Jay right?" He's apprehensive but nods. "I need to go see your father. Is he in?" He points me towards the counter where I see the sultan turned genie turned mortal himself, tallying up the days earnings.

"Jafar." I greet as I try to calm Mal down. Her temperature keeps rising and it's making her fussier, causing it to be harder to keep her hushed.

"Hades." He grins. "What brings you here?" He asks politely only to glare a second afterwards as he watches his son reach for my pockets in a very obvious manner. I roll my eyes and dig out a toy Mal's too young to play with to give the poor boy.

"Here you go Jay." His face lights up with a groans he sits on the counter to play with the toy. He's completely engrossed with it for about half a minute before he notices the bundle in my arms and moves towards Mal.

"You shouldn't do that Hades. I'm trying to get him to learn the art of stealing, not begging. Begging is for weaklings." He chastised me and I try to look sheepish but I'm far from sorry.

"Ok. But the reason I'm here is that I need medicine. Mal's sick and she's getting worse." I hold her close to me despite the uncomfortable amount of heat that burns me.

"I might have a thermometer here but I don't think I have any medicine for babies as Jay's never gotten sick." At the mention off his name, Jay puffed his chest out and tried to appear strong and mighty before Mal moved and he jumped. "I think Yen Sid would have some though."

He fishes out a thermometer and hands it towards me. I wipe it before putting it under Mal's armpit. The reading comes off too high and we know this is urgent. "C'mon, I'll take you to Yen Sid's. But we have to be careful because Maleficent's goons are on the look out." I nod and we leave the shop after Jafar locks it up and is sure Jay is following behind.

Once we arrive, we knock on the large wooden door that slowly crept open, which we took as an invitation to enter. As soon as we entered however, Jafar told Jay to stay back and advised me to leave Mal with him because it would be dangerous for the kids to be in a lab with harmful chemicals. I was skeptical at first but Jafar assured me that Mal would be perfectly safe with Jay.

Jafar told Jay to watch over Mal and I placed her into his arms. Even though there is only a nine month age gap between them, Jay looks so much bigger than Mal, especially since she is small for her age. Jay holds Mal tight and I feel at least semi secure as I step into the lab with Jafar.

Jay's POV

As soon as daddy and Mr. Hades leave me with Mal, I decide to take a good look at her. Her eyes are scrunched shut as she turns in restlessness, but once they open, I'm immediately captured by them and feel the need to protect Mal no matter the cost. I stroke the purple hair as she cuddles up towards me and leans on me. At that moment, I know she trusts me and I can't help but feel proud at that.

I shift her slightly to make it more comfortable for the both of us and properly introduce myself. "Hi Mal. I'm Jay and we're going to be good friends." At that, Mal giggled and I felt relaxed that I managed to get her to smile.

After that, I started to lean against the wall, the day having taken a lot out of me. I hold Mal close as I feel my eyelids begin to close shut. The last thing I remember is pulling Mal close to me in a protective embrace and promising her nothing will ever hurt her.

Hades' POV

"Based on what you have told me, I think she just has an extremely high fever from fighting infections, which are common in babies. It shouldn't be much to be worried about but I'm going to give you some medicine for her to take about every 6 hours until its finished. By then she should be better. Also keep her cool by bathing her regularly." Yen Sid explains and I nod.

"That should be it Hades, and don't hesitate to return if you need anything." I thank him and grab the medicines before Jafar and I walk out.

"Thank you so much Jafar, I don't know what I could've done without you. If-" He cuts me off by putting a finger to his lips before pointing at our two children in the corner looking absolutely adorable.

Jay's arms are wrapped protectively around Mal and she's snuggled deep into him. The two of them have peaceful looks on their faces as they sleep. Even Mal has lost some of the tension and unease from her fever. I almost don't want to wake them up but it's late and we have to get home. Mal also needs to take her medicine.

I gently pry Mal from Jay and awe when he instinctively tries to reach out for her. Mal however curls into me and is restless for a bit before falling back into deep slumber. Jay on the other hand, wakes up a few seconds later and is picked by Jafar before promptly falling back asleep. As soon as the two kids are safely in our arms, we head back.

As we walk to Jafar's shop since its on the way, I suggest to him that we let Mal and Jay grow up together and form allies since it looks like they already have such a great bond. Jafar immediately agrees and I'm glad that my baby won't have to grow up alone.

We decide that until they're both a bit older to let them play around instead of working to steal. Of course, that required a little payment but when you're the God of the underworld, a couple of things for his shop means nothing, especially when there is a cave full of unneeded stuff I was going to throw away anyway. Besides that, it means Jafar won't constantly have to look after his son while tending the shop. We arrange for Mal and Jay to play at my house since its more spacious and I can keep a watch over the two of them after Mal gets better.

As soon as Jafar and Jay enter the shop and we say bye, I hurry Mal to our home so I can give her the medicine. It works wonders and her face immediately turns pinkier than it's ghostly pale white from just moments ago. I'm so relieved Mal's getting better.
