Hey friends! It has been a long time since I have written any thing! I am writing a longer Descendants story but I don't know when I will get that one up. The children in this story will be in my other. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
King Ben smiled at the tired looking Mal as he walked into their room. His purple haired queen gave him a thin smile.
"Hey babe how was your day? " he took off his jacket tossing it on a chair in the corner.
Mal thought for a moment.
"Oh you know it was a normal day." Mal sighed as she pulled the covers back on the bed.
"Daddy! " squealed a little voice from the door way.
Ben grinned as he easily caught the purple haired three year old in his arms tickling her.
"Are you ready for bath and story time, princess? " he asked, the wiggly toddler.
She nodded.
"Mommy will come tuck you in with daddy in a few minutes. " Mal promised as she kissed the toddler on the head.
Ben took their little princess out their room. Mal sat on the edge of the bed thinking about what a normal day had become for her.
6 am that morning.
"Mommy! Mommy ! There's a monster in my room! "
Mal covered her face it was to early for this, she didn't know how Ben was so cheery in the mornings. She sighed when she heard Moxie, their three year old, start to cry. She quickly got out of bed and walked across the hall to Moxie's room. Moxie's room was full of books and toys but a path was made to the bed where Mal cut on her pink lamp.
"It's OK baby there is no monsters here," she laid down with the toddler hoping to get at least an hour more sleep before the others came for their daily play date and they had a park opening in the afternoon. Usually Ben and Mal both attended the opening of libraries,parks and other openings that benefitted the citizens of Auradon. But today she was doing it solo with a three, two, and one year old so she was going to need to sleep as much as she could. Mal didn't wake up again until she heard a knock at the door. She looked up to see a nervous servant standing at the door.
"I'm sorry to wake you Majesty but breakfast is ready and your guest will be here in an hour" his voice quite not to wake Moxie who was cuddled into Mal's arms.
"Thank you. We will be down soon. " Mal tried to untangle herself from the three year old.
The servant bowed and left.
"Moxie baby it is time to wake up your little cousins will be here soon. " Mal stood up and stretched.
"OK! Yay! " Moxie bounced up. She definitely got her ability to wake up with a smile from Ben and her dazzling smile was all her dad. The rest of her physical appearance was all Mal except for her personality that was all her own.
Mal went and slipped on some leggings and a shirt she would get dressed up later. She put Moxie in a tee shirt and jeans before they went to breakfast. Breakfast went smoothly and soon the door bell was ringing.
"Their here! " Moxie cheered as she ran to the door.
Mal opened the door to greet Evie and Max, who was always the first ones there.
"Good morning! Evie greeted walking in with Max on her hip.
"Hi Evie! Let's go play Max!" Moxie said, and bounced.
Evie carefully put Max on the floor. He took a couple of shakey steps then fell on his diapered bottom and took off crawling following Moxie to the playroom.
"He is going to realize one day that he can run and and just take off " Mal smiled.
"One day but I'm not ready he is growing so fast how is he already a year? " Evie shook her head frowning.
"I know Mox's three years just flew by. " Mal smiled as Moxie and Max's laughing came from the play room.
"Are you sure about today? Three children is hard on anyone but you have to give a speech, cut ribbons and smile for the press. I don't mind taking a half day." Evie pressed.
"Belle is going to be there. So she can help if I need it. It's not the first time I have taken all three of them out. Besides they love the park so it is going to be fine." Mal assured, her.
"OK I have to go Lonnie is coming in for her dress fitting. I can't believe she's getting married in a month! " Evie then rushed into the playroom to kiss Max goodbye.
Jay came in right after Evie left. He was carrying a very grumpy looking Atalie. Both her lips were poked out into a full pout. Jay didn't look very happy either.
"Sorry we're late. Atalie did not want to get up today and she is still very grumpy. If she is still grumpy by the time that thing is this afternoon just call me. You don't have to put up with her moods. " Jay frowned at the grumpy child.
"She will wake up once she gets playing it will be fine." Mal took Atalie from Jay.
"OK well. There is a dress in her call me if she gives you any problems. ". Jay placed a kiss on Atalie's head and gave Mal the bag.
Mal carried Atalie into the playroom and sat her down.
"What is wrong with Attie? " Moxie walked over to the pouting two year old.
"She is feeling grumpy today. She didn't want to wake up so she is sleepy. " Mal explained.
"Come play kitchen with me Attie I'll make you coffee. " Moxie reached for Atalie's hand.
Atalie stood up and took Moxie's hand and went in the corner to the play kitchen. Mal smiled she was glad Jay decided to come back to Auradon when the adoption with Atalie was final. Moxie and Atalie had both come out of there shells because of each other. Max suddenly let out a scream. Moxie was trying to get a toy Max was holding and Max did not like that at all.
"OK what is going on?" Mal picked Max up.
"He took my cup. " Moxie looked sad.
Mal got on the floor with Max and showed him another toy so he would drop the cup. Which he did. Moxie gave Max a kiss. Mal stayed on the floor playing with the kids until it was time to get ready for the park opening. Mal dressed Moxie in a light purple summer dress. Mal pulled Moxie's hair up into a high pony tail and put a green bow in. She put Max in a light blue Polo shirt and blue plaid shorts. Max's blue-green eyes really stood out , he had a little bit of blonde curls with dark blue highlights. She dressed Atalie in a light pink summer dress that matched the pink beads in her hair. Mal then went and changed into a dark purple dress and curled her hair.
It took Mal a few minutes to get all three kids buckled into their cars seats because Max and Atalie wanted to fuss and kick. By the time they got to the park there was barely any parking left. Mal was running a little late but was able to get Atalie and Max into the double stroller and Moxie rode on the back. She couldn't help but laugh as the kids giggled as she rushed across the parking lot into the park. Mal grinned at Belle as she rushed up to the stage with the stroller.
"Cutting it close! " Belle hugged Moxie tightly.
"I know couldn't find a parking place. " Mal put Max on her hip and held Atalie by the hand as she headed to the stage.
Belle helped Moxie on stage and sat her in a chair while Mal put Atalie in a chair next to Moxie. Belle sat in the chair in between the girls and happily held Max on her lap as Mal gave her speech. Mal smiled politely for the press as she helped the kids down the stage to walk to the front of the park to cut the ribbon. Moxie was so excited she ran ahead.
"Come on in! " Moxie pulled the ribbon down Mal was suppose to cut.
Mal was two feet behind her completely speechless she could only imagine what the press was going to say but the pure happiness on her toddlers face was priceless.
"Come on in! " Mal smiled as she picked Moxie up.
"Can we go swing? " Moxie wiggled she really didn't want to be picked up.
"Yes. But next time mommy cuts the ribbon OK? " Mal put Moxie down when she nodded.
Mal and Belle helped get the kids in the swings. Moxie had closed her eyes as the wind blew her face. Max was belly laughing as Belle pushed him higher. Atalie had a huge smile on her face as Belle pushed her too. Soon it was time to cut the cake for the people to enjoy and then they could head home. Mal smiled as she cut the cake and severed the first piece . Mal helped Belle get Atalie and Max in high chairs. While Mal was doing that someone gave Moxie a large piece of cake. Moxie happily made her way towards Mal holding the plate of cake . The minute Mal saw the plate tilt she hurried towards Moxie. It felt like slow motion as the plate slipped out of Moxie's hand and fell on the stage.
"Uh oh! " Moxie straighten the now empty plate.
Mal sighed she could here the cameras going off. Mal sank down next to Moxie who we on her knees trying to pick up the cake.
"It's OK baby! It happens. " Mal took some frosting that wasn't touching the stage and put it on Moxie's nose. Moxie laughed and did the same with Mal. They were able to get the cake cleaned of the stage with the occasionally frosting swipe to each others face. Mal dropped the plate and broke cake into the trash as Belle brought over a towel.
"You have something on your face. " Belle chuckled as she handed Mal a towel.
"Thanks!" Mal wiped her face then cleaned Moxie up.
After they got home it wasn't long before Evie and Jay came to pick up their kids. Shortly after that they had dinner Ben came home. Mal sat on the edge of their bed wondering how this became her normal life. She heard Ben take Moxie into her room.
"How was your day? " Ben asked as he tucked Moxie in her bed.
"Well Mommy cuddled me when I was scared and... Um I love my baby cousins so much and mommy and me laughed so much today!" Moxie waved her hands excitedly.
"We went for a fun ride in the stroller and I flew on the swings. You know what my favorite part was? " Moxie asked sitting up looking excited.
"What? " Ben grinned.
"Mommy and me had a food fight! It was the best day EVER!" Moxie stood up on the bed pumping her fist in the air.
Mal stood at the door tears in her eyes. What had been a normal crazy day to Mal was a magical day to Moxie. Mal may not have learned what love was until she was sixteen but she wanted to show her baby how much she loved her everyday. She was glad that at three years old that Moxie saw that.
"What's wrong mommy? " Moxie noticed Mal at the door.
"Nothing baby mommy is just happy you had a great day. I love you!" Mal walked over and gave Moxie a hug and kiss putting her back in bed.
"Love you, mommy! " Moxie smiled and then yawned.
"I love you baby girl, sweet dreams. " Ben kissed Moxie on the head.
"I love you too, daddy. " Moxie yawned again.
They watched as Moxie fell asleep then walked back to their room holding hands. Ben hugged Mal tight and then began kissing her. She loved her normal days.
