Derek had taken advantage of Rothbart falling backwards due to Odette flying in his face. He charged towards Rothbart with his sword and held him against the floor with it.
"What are you going to do Prince Derek? Kill me?"
"First you're going to turn Odette back into a princess. Then I will make sure you don't come back."
Odette flew back down to the cave. She saw Derek with Rothbart. She wondered if he would kill him.
Derek looked back and saw Odette. He knew she wouldn't listen to him. He turned back towards Rothbart. "Do it. Now!" Derek pressed the sword against Rothbart's chest, towards his heart.
Rothbart waved his hand and a flash of green light appeared again. Odette looked down at her hands. She had ten fingers and long blonde hair. She was a princess again.
"Odette get out of here!" Derek begged.
"I won't leave you!"
"The baby needs you!"
"She's taken care of! You need me now."
Rothbart took advantage of the argument and pushed Derek out of the way. Derek was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Rothbart went towards Odette. His anger towards her was rising. She always thwarted his plans! Derek saw that Rothbart was going towards Odette. He got up quickly and ran towards Rothbart. Derek grabbed his shoulders and pulled him backwards towards his sword. Rothbart looked down and saw that Derek's sword went right through his chest. He starred at Odette and then fell to the ground. Derek put down his sword and rushed towards Odette. He embraced her and wouldn't let go.
"I thought I lost you… both of you."
"Derek…"
"It's over Odette. He can't hurt us anymore."
Odette looked down at Rothbart's body. She sure hoped her husband was right.
Derek and Odette walked back up to the castle. Waiting for them was Rodgers, Bromley, Uberta with the baby, Puffin, Speed, and Jean-Bob. Odette's eyes went straight towards the baby and flew over to her. Uberta gave Odette her child back happily. Odette looked into her baby's eyes and was so happy she was perfectly all right. Derek came to Odette and held the baby's fingers.
"Derek, we never got a chance to name the baby," Odette said suddenly. They had been kidnapped right after her birth.
"Well what would you like to name her? I'm not too good with names."
"How about…. Hope? I think it just … fits." Odette looked up at her husband and waited for his reaction.
Derek smiled and said, "Hope is a beautiful name…Odette, may I hold her?"
Derek hadn't had the chance to hold her yet. Odette smiled and passed Hope to Derek. Derek looked down at his daughter and saw that she had his blue eyes, but it looked like she was going to have Odette's blonde hair. Derek sat down in the middle of the hallway and continued to stare at his precious little girl. Odette sat down beside him. The rest of the gang gave the family some alone time. They stayed like that for hours and were planning on never being separated ever again.
