Mal was laid in her bed, her eyes staring up at the ceiling while she played with Ben's signet ring which was back on her finger. Ben had asked her to start wearing it again and she had happily agreed. She had been like this all night, Mal couldn't sleep and had therefore been paid in bed thinking all night. It had been two weeks since she had officially gotten back together with Ben and agreed to move back to Auradon and today was the day they moved.
Looking over at the clock she noticed it was 6:45am and like clockwork she heard her daughter running towards her room. Closing her eyes the purplette pretended to sleep as the young girl came barrelling into the room, jumping on her 'sleeping' mother. "Mommy! Wake up!" The young girl shouted. With a fake groan Mal rolled away from the toddler, allowing herself to smile when she knew Belle couldn't see her face. "Mommy!" The three year old pleaded with her mother.
The purplette quickly turned and wrapped her arms tightly around her three year old daughter, getting a laugh in return from the toddler. "It's too early. Go back to sleep." Mal mumbled to the young girl with a smile on her face. She knew it wouldn't work but she figured she'd give it a try anyway.
"No, Mommy. Get up!" She shouted shaking the purplette in an effort to 'wake' her.
"Okay, okay. I'm up." Mal stated as she sat up in bed. "Let's go get you some breakfast then we can finish packing." She explained to the toddler sat in her lap. With a nod from Belle Mal lifted her daughter up into her arms and headed to the kitchen to cook breakfast for the last time in this house. They weren't selling the house, just in case things didn't work out in Auradon, but this would be the last time they would sit at this table and have breakfast just the two of them for a long time.
It took a while, since Mal had left a lot of her daughter's toys out, but eventually everything was packed and ready to go. As she stared at the pile of boxes in her living room the purplette couldn't help but feel like she was leaving something behind in the house. She knew she had packed everything and she would never forget the memories she had from living here but she was still feeling a little emotional about leaving for Auradon.
With a wave of her hand Mal surrounded the boxes and bags in purple smoke before they disappeared. Smiling she looked down at her daughter. "Ready to go, baby?" She asked. Belle immediately looked up at her mother and taking her hand she nodded eagerly. The young girl couldn't wait to explore the castle she had been hearing about from Ben, Bree, Malice, Belle and Adam. Surrounding herself and her daughter in purple smoke Mal transported them to Castle Beast, where she had no doubt her entire family would be waiting for her.
As the smoke cleared Mal smiled at the group that greeted her. Ben, Bree, Malice, Belle, Adam and Mrs Potts were all stood there smiling. "Uncle Malice!" The toddler exclaimed before running over to the purple/blonde haired man. Mal instnatly felt herself being hugged and she instantly knew it was Ben, she didn't even have to see his face she just knew.
"Hi Ben." She greeted him.
"Hi Mal, how are you feeling?" He asked. The King could tell just by looking at her that something was wrong.
Sighing Mal turned to face her boyfriend properly. "I'm just really emotional about this move that's all. But can I talk to you for a second? Privately?" She asked. Ben instantly nodded to the purplette before taking her gently by the hand and leading her out of the library and into the family room across the hall. Once the door was closed the purplette said "Do you think we could do a DNA test on Belle? I need to know and she deserves to know." The young woman explained.
Ben was shocked. He had expected this question eventually but he had thought that Mal would have to sort through her feelings first, he wasn't expecting it to be the first thing she asked him when she moved back home. Never-the-less he understood her reasons and he wanted to know himself. That little girl could be his daughter, they all needed and deserved to know. "Of course Mal. We will do it first thing in the morning if you would like." He said and Mal immediately nodded with a small, nervous smile. "I would suggest today but mom, Evie and Bree have put together a welcome home party for you both." The purplette couldn't help but laugh at this news the sound making Ben smile. One thought crossed Mal's mind at this point and that was that maybe things would work out for them here. Maybe things could be like they were before and they could be a family again.
