Mal had been unpacking for most of the day and she couldn't help but smile at the sight of her daughter's room. Belle and Adam had decorated a beautiful room for her little girl. They had painted the walls in lovely shades of blue and purple with hints of yellow, all the furniture was a dark oak wood and it all tied in beautifully. Mal had decided to unpack Belle's things first so her daughter would feel a lot more at home when she came to bed. The purple haired woman hadn't unpacked any of her own things yet but she didn't care. As long as her daughter had what she needed it didn't matter about her things.
A knock at the door snapped her out of her thoughts. Turning her head she saw Ben stood in the doorway smiling. "Can I come in?" Ben asked his girlfriend, loving the fact that she was back home and was his girlfriend once more. Nodding the purplette smiled at her boyfriend. Watching as he came and sat on the floor next to her. "Everything okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's just a little weird to be back again after being gone for so long." The young woman admitted to him.
Smiling Ben wrapped his arm around the purplette's waist. "Yeah, I get that." The King stated, sighing as Mal rested her head on his shoulder. He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of Mal's purple locks before remembering the reason he had come up here in the first place. "So, your daughter is getting impatient downstairs. She wants to see her new room before she has to get ready for the party." He told her and Mal gasped as she turned to face her boyfriend.
"The party? Why what time is it?" She questioned.
Chuckling Ben answered her questions. "Mal, it's almost 6pm. You've been up here most of the day." He told her, pressing his lips against hers as shock spread across her face. "Come on. Evie's here with yours and Belle's dresses, and your daughter refuses to get ready until her mom shows her her new bedroom." He stated before standing up and helping Mal to stand.
Hand in hand the couple walked out of the three year olds bedroom and towards the stairs where a very bubbly and energetic toddler ran right into them. "Mommy! Benny!" The little girl exclaimed jumping up, causing her mother to catch her. "Can I see my new room now? Please?" The girl pleaded. Seeing her mother laugh and nod Belle jumped out of her mothers embrace before taking hold of one of her mother's hands and one of Ben's hands.
Both Ben and Mal couldn't help but laugh at the young girl as she pulled them down the hall. She had been shown where her bedroom was that morning but hadn't been allowed in. The two adults laughed as they followed the toddler to the room, smiling broadly as they let her go inside and she squealed excitedly. "I love it!" Belle exclaimed before running over to her toys. Mal couldn't help but smile broadly at the happiness that her daughter was showing. She could tell just from this reaction that her daughter would love living here, she just hoped that things would go well for the both of them.
"Here you are Mal!" Evie exclaimed behind her. Turning Mal noticed the blunette was carrying tow garment bags, one either side of her heavily pregnant stomach. "You and Belle need to come with me. We have to get you ready for the party." The princess stated, causing Mal to nod her agreement. She knew Evie, Belle and Bree had gone through a lot of trouble organizing this party so she didn't want to be late.
"Belle, sweetie. Come with me and Auntie Evie please. We need to get ready for the party." She told her daughter, who frowned at her.
"But Mommy. I wanna play." The toddler whined at her mother.
Mal raised an eyebrow at her daughter's tone. "You can play tomorrow. You need to come with me and get ready for the party now." She stated, frowning when her daughter remained seated. What surprised her was that Ben then stepped closer to her daughter and whispered something in her ear. She watched ad Belle's eyes lit up and she smiled, before jumping up and running to Evie. "I'll meet you both in my room in a second." Mal said to the blunette, who nodded and took the toddler into Mal's room. "What did you say to her?" The purplette asked her boyfriend, with a smile.
"I just said that if she was good and listened to you that when we got to the party we could maybe sneak some cake from the table." He said before laughing. A sound that caused Mal to smile, despite her raised eyebrow.
"So you bribed my daughter?" She questioned. Ben nodded with a cheeky smile on his face before she stepped towards Ben and kissed him. "I love you Ben." She said before turning and heading into her bedroom, not giving Ben a chance to respond.
An hour later Mal looked at herself in the floor length mirror in her bathroom. She hadn't worn a dress on the four years she had been out of Auradon. But as she looked at herself she couldn't help but smile. She was in a beautiful Evie creation, a strapless, knee length dress with a sweetheart neckline. It was deep purple with green and blue details and gems decorating the bodice and a ruffled skirt. She had a little bit of make up on, giving her a natural look. Her long purple locks was tied back in a bun, with ringlets framing her face.
Sighing she stepped out of the bathroom smiling at the sight of her daughter. Belle was in a similar dress to her own but hers only had blue details and no gems on the bodice, it also had less ruffles in the skirt with small spaghetti straps over her shoulders. Evie had curled her daughters hair while she had been in the bathroom.
Hearing the door close Belle turned to face her mother. "Mommy! You look weally nice." The toddler said as she ran over to her mom.
Mal smiled at Evie as she noticed the blunette leaving the room. "You look beautiful my little dragon." She said causing her daughter to smile. "Shall we go down and meet Benny?" She asked, knowing that Ben wanted the three of them to walk into the party together, so he could support Mal. The toddler nodded and the pair were about to leave when Belle knocked on the door and walked into the room. "Hi Belle, what can we do for you?" She asked her boyfriends mother.
"I brought you this. Since you are still Lady of the Court and there is a few Council members at the party I thought you should wear it." The former Queen explained holding out her gold tiara with purple and blue gems she used to wear for royal events. Seeing Mal smile and nod the brunette walked forward and placed the tiara on her head. "It's great to have you home. You look beautiful, Mal. You really do." Belle said before looking down at the three year old. "And you look lovely as well." She told the young girl, with a smile.
After saying their goodbye's Belle headed off to find Adam and Mal picked up her daughter, resting the girl on her hip. Kissing the toddler's cheek Mal went off in search of Ben. Hoping and praying she wouldn't run into anyone on the way. She knew people would have questions about her daughter she just didn't want to answer them in front of the young girl.
