From Auradon to the Isle of the Lost, everything is a mess. The anti-magic group is reaching more and more people, and their actions are going beyond a simple demonstration.

Rashid goes to Mal's room every day to check on the baby, and it was during one of these checks that something unimaginable happened.

"Twelve weeks Mal." Rashid told her, and a rare smile appeared on her face. "The magic is still catalyzed in the same place as always. Any strange symptoms? Any pain? Is fire coming out of somewhere?" She denied everything. "So, I guess that's it."

"Wait, what about the little heart?"

She asks when she sees him turning off the ultrasound machine.

"What? If you want, I can call you so you can hear it."

Rashid saw her smile at the loud noise the baby's heart was making.

The king of Auradon is good at many things, like reading documents, holding meetings and even convincing Cinderella's mouses not to make certain decisions, but he is convinced that his ability to talk to his wife is being lost.

Today, after an extensive list of documents to sign, laws to review and a meeting with one of the councils, all he wanted most was his bed.

When he got to his room, Mal was in front of his dressing table getting ready for bed.

"Hi."

She said, smiling and turning her attention to the man who had just come into the room.

"Hi."

He replies harshly.

"Ben I…"

"I'm going to take a shower."

He interrupted her, heading for the bathroom.

"Well, have him go to Rashid tomorrow to see how you're doing."

She talks to her stomach.

Mal and Ben are living a constant love-hate relationship, but in the end they get on well, but no day has ever been like this one:

They're momentarily calm and talking to each other and just like any other morning, they're both getting ready for their morning chores. Ben is talking about someone from the council, while she finishes getting dressed. Mal, who is wearing her robe, stops in front of the mirror in her room and stares at her belly for a moment.

It's still so strange to think that there's a person inside her. There's literally a human being inside her. It's a very strange feeling.

The girl was standing in front of the mirror when Ben came out of the bathroom with a towel still around his waist and drying his hair. Mal didn't even notice him standing there, as he struck a pose with his belly.

"You're going to make me so big, aren't you?"

She complains quietly, but loud enough for her husband to hear and move towards her.

"You'll still be beautiful to me."

He said in her ear and wrapped his arms around her waist, which obviously frightened her.

"Ben, you scared me."

She almost jumped, but remained in his embrace.

"What were you thinking?"

He asked, kissing the girl on the cheek.

"Nothing much, but I don't think you should keep hugging me with that towel on."

New information about little Maleficent, she is more attached than ever to her husband, which used to make them fight, but soon they were hugging and entwined in bed. These are confusing and intense times.

Isle of the Lost

Currently, there are only a few villains on the island. The older ones had already died and there were some fugitives living in Auradon. Every month the Vk's could go there to see their parents, so with all possible security the barrier is opened, and they enter at a time of day and leave in the evening.

"I've brought your skin cream, as you asked."

Ginny Gothel says to her mother.

"Did they let you through with it?"

Her mother asked with a tone of complete contempt.

"Why wouldn't they? It's not like I'm bringing a magic wand."

"You're right. How's life in Cinderellaburg?"

She talks about something she didn't even want to talk about.

"It's a good life, I met someone there."

"Ginny." She speaks with anger and disappointment that her daughter has changed so much. "Men?"

"Anyway, he's a really nice guy, and he's in the same class as me at college."

She ignored her mother's words and told her the news.

"Well, as I can see, Auradon has been infecting you more and more."

"When are you going to take a break?"

Ginny senses that her mother is the same as ever, and is unable to be happy for her.

"Never mind, is it true that Maleficent's daughter is going to have a baby?"

She finally asks what she most wanted to know.

"Yeah, the queen is expecting a child. There are rumors going around that the baby has magic."

If this is the only subject they can talk about without misunderstandings, she accepts.

"But isn't that obvious? She's Maleficent's daughter, so it's obvious that the baby will have magic."

"The people there aren't very fond of magic."

"What? Tell them to go more than twenty years without a drop of potion, and we'll see if they can stay away from magic."

"I don't think they see it that way, Mom."

"But they should."

Gothel doesn't deny his evil roots, she also wants revenge on Auradon.

"And why is that?"

"Forget it. Tell me more about the strange being you're taking a liking to?"

"When are you going to change?"

Hours later, it was time to leave and Ginny would have gone quietly as she always did, if it hadn't been for her mother.

"I'm sorry, child…"

We don't know when or who the idiot was, but the fact remains that at exactly 5:15 p.m. Auradon time, Gothel crossed the barrier and walked calmly towards her greatest plan for revenge.

Auradon

The big mess that the whole kingdom is in started on the Isle of the Lost with the recent escape that nobody noticed. This small mess extends to the gates of the king and queen's palace, with more than a hundred people and several posters.

"What's going on here?"

Cogsworth asks the guard at the gate when he sees the bustling crowd outside.

"They want to see the king, sir."

The guard clarifies.

"All of them?" When the ex-watchman starts to hear what the shouts mean and reads the phrases on the posters, he gets even more scared. "My God! I need to go after Ben! Ben!"

"Cogsworth, what is it? We're not that late for breakfast."

The king laughs at the frightened look on the man who is still responsible for almost everything in the castle.

"Calm down, breathe, and tell me what's going on."

The queen, who is standing next to her husband, walks over to Cogsworth and begins to do a breathing exercise with him.

"They… they… you'd better see for yourselves."

The man tried to explain, but he couldn't say anything, so he just pointed to the window so that they could see what was happening in his kingdom.

The two looked at each other uncomprehendingly, but judging by the frightened look on Cogsworth's face, they didn't hesitate to run to look in one of the castle's huge windows.

It wasn't possible to understand what the residents were shouting, but they noticed the number of people and read a few sentences on the signs that read "WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER HEIR TO THE THRONE!", "DOWN WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY!", "WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER MALEFICENT!", "NO MORE MAGIC".

"Oh, my God, Ben."

Mal feels her husband holding her, trying to support her, as if he knew she would fall to the ground.

The question to be asked is: how did they know that their son had magic and all the other information that until then had been confidential and had never left the palace gates?

They could seek peace and wish for their happy ending, but that certainly won't happen now.
