It had been two weeks since Evie had unexpectedly turned up on Mal's doorstep and the past two weeks had been plagued with indecision for the purplette. The young woman didn't know if she should stay, if she should move away again, if she should go back to Auradon, if she should tell Evie about Belle. Everything was just so confusing for her. Even now as the sun rose and the purplette laid in bed listening to the sounds of the street fayre setting up and the rides starting, she couldn't decide what to do.

Mal heard her bedroom door creak open and couldn't help but smile slightly as she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She heard Belle quietly pad across her bedroom and climb onto the bed. "Mommy?" Belle said quietly, poking her mother's side. The small brunette/purple haired toddler frowned as her mother didn't respond. "Mommy! Wake up!" The toddler shouted as she jumped onto her mother's stomach.

The purplette quickly sat up and wrapped her arms tightly around her daughter, tickling the little girls sides. Belle couldn't help but squeal happily as her mother continued to tickle her. "Mommy! Mommy stop!" The girl shouted causing Mal to relent and stop tickling her. "We still going today?" The girl asked her mother.

The purple haired young woman fained ignorance as she appeared to be thinking about what her daughter was talking about. "Going where Belle?" She asked. "I thought we were staying in today." Mal said and Belle couldn't help but laugh. She knew her mother was faking. When her mother made her a promise she never forgot about it.

"To the fair mommy." Belle stated.

"Oh right." Mal said acting like she had only just remembered. "I suppose we can go." She said, causing Belle's face to light up in excitement. "Think you can get dressed while mommy takes a quick shower?" She asked. The toddler nodded enthusiastically before running back to her bedroom, excited for the day ahead. Usually the thought of a three year old dressing themselves filled Mal with a sense of dread but Belle was more life a six year old them a three year old. She was so far advanced that she could already write her name, she had been walking without falling over for almost a year and the purplette was sure that she would easy skip a few years when she started school of her advanced vocabulary was anything to go by.

A couple of hours later found both mother and daughter dressed in purple tops and black skinny jeans heading to the fair. Mal usually hated these things but she tolerated them for Belle's sake. "Mommy, can I go on that ride?" She asked, pointing towards the teacups. Mal had been hesitant the yeah before but she had found that the ride had been slowed so that the children wouldn't find it as fast and feel sick during the ride.

"Sure, baby." Mal responded leading her daughter over to the ride. She couldn't help but smile as she saw Ella's husband stood there. "Hi Simon." She greeted him.

"Hi Mal, hi Belle." He greeted the pair before taking Belle's hand and helping her into a teacup and fastening her in.

Mal smiled as Belle looked at her. "I'll be right over here honey." She told her daughter as she took a few steps back, allowing some other children past her to get on the ride. As the ride started Mal shared another smile with her daughter before checking her phone. Ella was supposed to be here with them but she had text Mal saying she was running late at the shop. Just as the purplette was about to text her she found herself wrapped in a pair of arms.

Turning she noticed the familiar head of blue hair that she had missed in the past four years. "Hi E, what are you doing here?" She asked, shocked to see the blunette at the street fair.

"We come every year." The blunette stated causing Mal's eyes to widen dramatically.

"We?" The purplette asked her pseudo sister.

The sound of a throat being cleared caught the purplette's attention immediately. "Hi Mal. It's great to see you again." The woman stated before rushing forward and engulfing Mal in an embrace. Mal had just enough time to embrace the brunette before she noticed the ride had finished. She had one of two options now; find a way to get rid of the two princess' or let them find out about Belle.

But the option was taken out of her hands as the purplette heard a very loud "Mommy!" being shouted. Mal recognised the voice immediately as Belle's. Turning out of Bree's embrace she scooped up her daughter, settling the toddler on her hip as she turned back to the other two. "Mommy who are they?" The three year old asked as Bree and Evie shared a confused/surprised look with each other.

Mal held Belle a little closer as she whispered. "They're some of mommy's old friends." As Belle nodded her acceptance of this statement she turned to two of her closest friends. "Maybe we should head back to my house and talk about this?" She suggested. The two other women nodded to the purplette as she led the way back to the house she shared with her daughter. Mal was so lost in her own thoughts and Evie and Bree were too confused to register the photographer taking their picture as they lef the street fair.

Once they were at home they headed out into the back garden where Belle could play freely while the women talked. As they all sat at the patio table Evie found she couldn't contain herself anymore. "You have a daughter!?" She exclaimed, thankfully not loud enough for Belle to hear them but loud enough for Mal to flinch slightly. "Is that why you wouldn't come back home with me the other week!?"

Sighing Mal nodded. She felt terrible for lying about her daughter and she regretted leaving Auradon every single day. But after what he had done to her she couldn't have stayed there. "Yeah." She admitted to the pair of princess's. "I was pregnant with her when I left." She told them.

"Why would you leave because of that?" Bree asked the purplette. "You know me, Ben and our parents would have been there for you." She said and Mal knew she would have to find a way out of this, but she simply couldn't think of one. She had to at least tell them part of the truth.

The purplette released a breath she wasn't even aware she had been holding. "I left because I don't know if she's Ben's daughter." She admitted to them and the two women sat there stunned. Neither knew what to say to that. It wasn't like Mal to cheat on Ben, she loved him far too much for that. But then why would she not know who Belle's father is? It was all too confusing for the princesses. Although Bree had an idea, but she wasn't about to mention it to the upset purplette especially since the toddler was nearby.

"What's her name?" Bree asked, trying to change the subject.

That question brought a smile to Mal's face. "Come here a second sweetie!" She called to her daughter, who immediately came running over. As the toddler climbed onto her mothers lap Mal looked up at Evie and Bree. She couldn't help but noticed similarities between Belle and Bree, she hoped this was a sign that Belle was indeed Ben's daughter. It would break her heart if Belle turned out not to be Ben's but that she was indeed the other guys. "Belle, this is Evie and Bree. Evie, Bree, this is Isabelle Evelyn Blackheart." She introduced them.

"You named her after me?" Evie said, shock covering her face.

"And my mom?" Bree asked.

Nodding Mal answered their questions. "Yeah. I figured that she should be named after strong women. I tried to fit Bree in there somewhere but it simply wouldn't work." She explained, causing the two princesses smiles to grow.

"That's okay. You can name your next daughter after me." The brunette joked.

Mal couldn't help but laugh at that before saying "Deal." Shocking the brunette. Bree had been joking. She didn't expect the purplette to agree. "So I have tro ask, when did Princess Evie happen?" She asked the blunette. It had been baffling her since she had arrived on the purplette's doorstep two weeks ago.

Smiling Evie rested a hand on her swollen stomach before answering. "Snow had me coronated as Princess of Charmington after I graduated from Auradon Prep. She didn't have any children and she didn't want to leave the kingdom without a ruler." The blunette explained. "I take over the throne when I turn twenty five."

"Twenty five?" Mal asked confused. Sure it had been four years since she had been near any royals but she was sure the law was twenty one.

"Yeah." Bree said, drawing Mal's attention back to her. "Ben changed the legal ages for heirs to inherit thrones. It is now twenty five. Even when Ben has an heir they can't inherit the throne until they're twenty five." She explained and Mal couldn't help but smile. It was just like Ben. Changing the law so that others don't have to go through the same stresses as he had to at sixteen.

The sound of the doorbell shocked the young women slightly. "If you're expecting someone Mal we can go." Evie told the purplette.

"I'm not expecting anyone, E. I was supposed to be at the fair all day with Belle." She told them. Carefully she handed Belle over to the two princesses. "Wait with Evie and Bree honey, I'll be right back." She said to her daughter, who nodded before getting off of Bree's lap and pulling the two over to her sandpit. Mal smiled before walking through the house and to her front door. Since she didn't sense any danger on the other side she opened it once she was in reach of the handle, a gasp leaving her mouth as she noticed who was on the other side of the door. "Ben!?" She exclaimed.

"Hi Mal." He responded, smiling at the sight of his girlfiend.
