"What! You better explain now!" April screamed out after she took Mal to bed and came back out not wanting Mal to hear any of it as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Okay, it was about five years ago. You had just left to go make your big broadway debut and I was feeling lonely and upset, so I went out and I got a little drunk. There was this woman there named Maleficent Faere she was a very intimidating woman and her husband had just left her claiming she wasn't the easiest to get along with. She was drunk and upset too. One thing led to another and well you know. I never saw her again after that," April's dad told her and Nick making them just stare at him in shock as April began to feel even more horrible at the possibility of having a half sister she never even knew about.

"So you're telling me there is a possibility that the little girl that was just abused by her mom and who spent four years of her life being treated that way could possibly be your daughter and my half sister!" April screamed out as she was angry at her dad.

"I didn't even know Maleficent was pregnant; she never even told me. Like I said that was the last time I ever saw her or heard from her, but the timing matches," April's dad told her, making April upset still.

"Well I want you to take a paternity test! I want to know if Mal is my half sister or not! I can't believe you! If those tests come back and you're her father I am never speaking to you again," April told her dad as she was upset.

"April honey don't be like that. I don't even know if I am the father she could very much be the ex husband's daughter," Frank told April who just rolled her eyes. "Whatever I need to know if she's your daughter or not it will make this process easier on us if she is and by the way we already agreed to adopt her, so if she is your daughter that isn't changing," April told her dad who sighed as he felt horrible and guilty and he didn't even know if Mal was his daughter or not.

"Of course I am definitely not at the age to be raising another child. She's all yours, so how do we even do this," April's dad asked her and Nick who just sighed as they went to get Mal.

"Miss April how come I had to put that thingy in my mouth yesterday," the small four year old asked April who sighed as she didn't want to tell Mal about the possibility of knowing her dad until they at least knew for sure.

"Because it's complicated. I'll tell you later. So this is your preschool," April asked the little girl as she looked at the very cheap looking school. "Yeah!" The small four year old told April as they made it inside Mal's preschool and April was already feeling uneasy by the school. As soon as they got to the school Mal let go of April's hand as she took off running and sat down by some kids.

Just as April was leaving the teacher noticed her as she smiled. "Oh, so you're Mal's mom. I was wondering if you would ever make an appearance. Usually Mal just comes here by herself," the teacher told April making her feel uneasy as the other moms were all staring at her now with judgemental looks.

"Miss April why are we leaving preschool!" The small four year old cried out after April didn't like the way people were judging her and she immediately pulled Mal from the school.

"Mal you don't need that. Preschool is just a better word for daycare and you don't need that. And those people are jerks anyway," April told the small girl as she walked with her back to the house.

When they got back to the house Nick happened to be there as he had come over to see April. "April explain to me why Mal isn't in preschool," Nick told April and Mal just laughed.

"Miss April said preschool is pointless and I don't need it! Ooh Dragon Tales is on!" The small four year old screamed out excitedly as she sat down on the couch and started watching Tv.

"April you pulled her from preschool," Nick asked April in disbelief, making her roll her eyes. "I would hardly call that a preschool more like a jail for kids. Besides preschool is pointless anyway," April told Nick.

"April it may seem pointless, but they learn a lot of basics in preschool," Nick told April who rolled her eyes. "Mal what's a circle," April screamed out and Mal just laughed. "That's a circle! It's round!" Mal told April who nodded and then looked at Nick.

"See she knows stuff!" April told Nick who rolled his eyes. "Mal sing the alphabet song," Nick told the small girl who just smiled. "Okay! A, B, C, D, um…, L, M, N, O, P… um, W, X, Y and Z," the small girl sang out, making Nick just look at April with an I told you so look.

"Okay so maybe she doesn't know the alphabet, but I still think preschool is a waste of time," April told Nick who just sighed. "Okay fine, but I hope you know this means that we are responsible for getting her to learn the basics that she needs for kindergarten," Nick told April who just groaned as she didn't think about that.

"Why? They have online programs now. Just stick her in front of the computer and let the computer teach her. I don't see the problem," April told Nick as she sat down by the four year old that was watching the Tv and completely oblivious to what was going on.

"April you can't just stick a four year old in front of a screen for that long. It's bad for them. I don't even let Michelle do that and she's a few years older than Mal," Nick told April as he had already been basically raising his two sisters and knew a lot more about kids than April did. And April just sighed as she didn't get why Nick was making such a big deal over preschool.

"You are worrying way too much. She's only 4. She'll be fine. And besides even if she doesn't do well in school she always has dancing to fall back on. She's a pretty good dancer especially for her age and having me raise her she will have a better advantage when she's older if she sticks with it," April told Nick who just sighed, but nodded as he realized she was right.

"Yeah I guess you're right," Nick told April who smiled and nodded as she kissed him. "Of course I'm right," April told Nick, making him laugh. "Okay well I should probably go now. I have some studying to do and please April don't let her watch Tv all day. And do not make her practice dancing right now," Nick told April as he got up to leave.

April just rolled her eyes as she looked at Nick. "Okay what kind of monster do you think I am? I'm not going to make a kid that just got out of the hospital practice dancing. I'll at least give her another day," April told Nick, making him look at her in shock and she started laughing. "I'm kidding! I'm gonna wait at least a week before I let her start dancing again. I am going to bring her to practice though because I still want her to learn the steps, but not actually participate. Gosh do you really think I'm that horrible of a person," April playfully told Nick who just laughed as he kissed her on more time.

"No I was just making sure," Nick told April as he waved goodbye to Mal and then left. Once Nick left Mal just looked at April. "Miss April?" Mal asked April as she was starting to worry about something. "Yeah Mal," April asked the little girl who sighed as she looked down.

"Do you think the other kids are gonna be mad at me," the small girl asked April as she knew that they thought Mal didn't care about dance and they got annoyed by her a lot. "No Mal they won't they are good kids. And you're friends with Michelle and June. And you know Sarah. Mal they won't be mad at you for being in the hospital," April told the small girl who just nodded.

"But what about Sarah? She's gonna be mad at me because she wants you to be her mommy too," the small girl told April who sighed as she pulled the small girl close to her. "Mal, trust me you have nothing to be worried about. Sarah is not going to be mad at you okay. I promise," April told the small girl who smiled after that.

"Okay good!" Mal told April who smiled. "So um what are we watching," April asked the small girl making her laugh. "Dragon Tales! I love it because it has dragons in it and that's my favorite animal! My mommy says dragons aren't real though! Miss April are dragons real?" the small girl asked April, making her freeze as she didn't know what to say.

She didn't like the idea of lying to kids, but at the same time Mal had been through so much already. "Yeah Mal they're real, but they don't exist here. They exist in a magical world far away from here called um… Auradon yeah let's go with that," April told the small girl making her get excited.

"Really! That sounds so cool! I wish I could go there someday and see a real a dragon! That would be the bestest thing ever!" Mal screamed out as she continued to watch the show until she fell asleep and April took her to her new room.

When April got done doing that she went back out to start working on some more choreography, but just as she was doing that her dad came home holding a piece of paper. "I got the results back," April's dad told her making her quickly grab the paper from her dad as she started reading through it and then looked at her dad.

"So what does it say," April's dad asked her and April just looked at him. "Congrats you have another kid," April told her dad sarcastically as she was still upset by the whole thing.

"What let me see that," April's dad called out as he read through the paper. "Oh how bout that. Well it looks like you have a sister after all," April's dad told her, making her just roll her eyes at how chill her dad was acting about all this.

"Miss April and Miss April's dad what's going on," the small four year old asked the two as she heard a lot of noise and it woke her up. The two adults just looked over at the small four year old in shock as they forgot Mal was still in the house and they didn't know how to deal with this.

"Nothing Mal just go back to the room okay go get ready dance class is about to start," April told the small girl trying to change the subject and sighed in relief when it worked. "Okay Miss April I will," the small girl screamed out as she ran to her room.

"Well that was a close one," April's dad told her, making her roll her eyes as she was upset with him. "Just take these results to the social worker and get Nick and I custody of her!" April told her dad who just sighed as he took the papers.

He was feeling so guilty. He never even knew he had another kid and not just that, but a young child that was abused and hurt by her own mom. And his oldest was mad at him and probably was never going to see him in the same way again.

Once April's dad left she just went to Mal's room to go check on her and laughed when she saw what Mal was wearing. "Okay I said get dressed not play dress up," April told the small girl playfully, making Mal laugh.

"I'm not playing dress up silly! I'm gonna wear this! And Miss April I wanna dance today I don't wanna watch! Please Miss April," the small girl told her, making April smile. "And Nick was worried about me forcing you to dance. Shows him. Yeah Mal you can dance today, but if you feel off you need to tell me and then you're done got it and no lying about it. I can tell and if you lie you're done for the week no exceptions," April told the young girl who smiled.

"Okay yay! You're the best! Come on let's go!" Mal screamed out excitedly, making April laugh.
