*Evie's POV*

I had just finished making a new dress for Mal for her to wear after the twins were born and I was very happy with it. I couldn't wait for Mal to see it; I had come to making her dresses for after when the twins were born. I knew that when the twins were born I was going to be very busy; and as the Queen's dresser I wanted to make sure that she had enough dresses to see her through.

I knew that Mal didn't have any plans today due to Ben restricting her commitments; if I had my way she would have been restricted well before now - but sadly this wasn't my decision. I had been told this many times; Mal said that she could handle it - however her actions told me differently.

So as I knew that Mal had a free day I decided that if she felt up to it we could maybe go clothes shopping; and if she didn't feel up to it then there was a few more things that I wanted advice on for the twins. So with this thought in mind I pulled my phone out and rang her to see how and where she was.

"Hi it's Mal, leave a message and I'll get back to you" I heard her voicemail message state. Instead of leaving a message I quickly hung up; this was very strange - why had Mal's phone gone straight to voicemail? Had something happened that Ben and Mal had not told me about as they had to go to the hospital in haste?

I decided to try her phone again in case it was a signal problem; and it went straight to voicemail. As my stomach started to fall into panic; I rang Ben and I started to feel relieved at the fact that it started to ring. However this two only rang twice before it went onto voicemail.

I continued to ring the pair of them and I fell into further despair when I ran into their suite to find it empty.

"MAL!" I shouted. "BEN!" I called as I quickly ran from room to room to try and find them. I then decided that both of them must be in Ben's bedrooms or one of the rooms downstairs.

It didn't take me very long to quickly look in Ben's office and any other rooms downstairs that I thought that they might be in as I continued to fall deeper and deeper in to a pool of panic and concern. I tried to ring them both again and I gasped each time when again the phone went straight onto voicemail.

I couldn't understand Ben and Mal's recent behaviour - unless something really bad had happened! But surely at least one of them would have rang or text me to let me know what was going on? I was the twins mother! I needed to know where they were at all times; I hate being left in the dark like this!

I went to leave Auradon Castle to go to search for them but I stopped when I heard giggling and laughing coming from one of Belle's rooms on the ground floor. I hoped that I was about to get answers as I walked up to the door and I quickly knocked on it.

"Come in!" I heard Belle call and I quickly opened the door to see Belle painting with Edward and Isabelle. "Oh" Belle said as her eyes landed on me. "Hello Evie" she smiled and I offered her a meek smile back.

"Hi Aunty Evie" Edward and Isabelle chanted together as they also looked up at me and they smiled.

"Hi Edward" I replied. "Hi Isabelle" I added and she grinned at me. "Belle do you know where Mal and Ben is?" I asked hopefully as my stomach was continuing to do somersaults.

"Not really" she admitted and I couldn't help but sigh. "I know they have gone out of the day" she advised as she wiped up some spilt over paint that one of the children obviously split moments before I entered the room.

"Out for the day?' She questioned. "Mal never said" I advised and I took a deep breath to steady myself. Why would she not have told me that they were going out for the day? Surely she knew that I had to know where she was in case something went wrong? I couldn't believe how very irresponsible of her!

"Yeah" Belle replied. "She asked this morning if I could look after these two" she started to explain. "As she had a surprise for Ben" she clarified.

"I see" I puffed as I crossed my arms over my chest. I see; Mal thought that it was more important to 'surprise' her husband rather than to let me know what she was doing. She was pregnant with my children! Had she forgot this? Or were they pretending that the twins were theirs? I really hoped not! It looked like I needed to have a word with the pair of them - as they really didn't have their intentions in the right place.

"Yes" Belle replied. "I never pass down any time with these two" she laughed as she nodded in Edward's and Isabelle's direction. "Is there anything I can help you with?" She enquired.

"No" I said as I quickly shook my head. "I just came to see Mal" I advised as I dropped my arms back to my sides.

"I see" she noted.

"If you would excuse me-" I advised sweetly.

"Ok" she nodded. "I guess I'll see you later then" she advised politely.

"Yes" I nodded. "Bye" I added, trying not to appear as rude.

"Say bye children" Belle instructed.

"Bye!" They sang together as they didn't take their eyes from their paintings. I then quickly turned and quickly left the room, closing the door behind me. I still couldn't get over how Ben and Mal could do this to me, mainly Mal. She knew that I needed to be with her at all times; and I would make sure that she knew this - so this wouldn't be happening again! I could guarantee that!
