Doug sighed as he and Evie sat in the yard at her cottage both enjoying the warm day finally taking a moment away from their wedding planning "Evie, could you ever have imagined either of us being where we are now?" he whispered.

"No, but then so much has changed for the better since I came to Auradon. I know I've met some of your family at school but what more can you tell me abou-"

"What on earth?" he whispered as he answered his phone "Uncle Grumpy?"

"Doug, meet me and the others at the hospital, the mine caved in on your dad."

"How is he?" Doug gasped.

"Just meet us at the hospital in Charmington!" Grumpy snapped before he hung up.

"Doug, what is it?" Evie whispered.

"I need to go to Charmington, the mine caved in, Dad's hurt but that's all Uncle Grumpy would tell me. Sometimes he gets a little too blunt when he's stressed."

"Let me come with you, I want to be there for you."

Doug sighed as he accepted Evie's hand.

"Doug, I'm sure your father is okay." Evie whispered as they walked down the hall before they were stopped by Doc.

"Is Dad okay?" Doug gasped as his uncle led them to the room.

"He's unconscious, possibly in a coma." Doc whispered, laying a hand on his nephew's shoulder while he gave Evie a sad smile "I'm glad Doug has you, dear."

"Dad." Doug whispered, ignoring his uncles as he stood at his father's side, taking the hand near him into his "Where's Mom? Does Derek know?" he asked any of his uncles that would answer.

"We sent your mom and your brother downstairs to eat something, sorry I snapped at you earlier I think sometimes I forget Crabby and Gordon aren't the only boys in my life despite how many nephews I have even if I have a hard time showing how much I care." Grumpy replied.

"I understand why you didn't want to answer me." Doug sighed.

"Doug, Mom and me are fine here if you wanna take Evie back to her cottage, I know you two were in the middle of making plans." Derek told the two after a short period of silence.

"I'm fine, Doug, I just want you to be with your father." Evie assured Doug, gently rubbing his shoulder seeing how tense he'd become.

"Evie, we can always put our wedding off until Dad's better, true love isn't going anywhere." Doug whispered despite the fact their wedding was the last thing on her mind.

"Your wedding isn't for another three months, I'm sure dad will be fine." Derek replied not realizing he'd made the words sound like a joke.

"Derek, it's not that." Doug sighed "Evie doesn't know her father, so she was going to ask Dad… if he could walk her down the aisle at our wedding. Uncle Doc or one of our other uncles can do it but Dad doing it had such a significance."

"Hey, I don't think I said it the way I meant it little brother. Evie is such a caring girl, somehow I know her top priority is you and those you love."

Evie blushed at his words "Thank you Derek, though I wish we'd met under other circumstances."

"Honestly, I'm glad I got to see how loving and caring you are from the start. I have no doubt you love my little brother, not from the way he talks about you but knowing how you feel about my parents,… makes it hard to believe who your mother is."

"She was all I had for so long but at the same time she scared me, I was always afraid I wasn't good enough, wasn't doing what she wanted, I wasn't beautiful enough. Then I came to Auradon, someone taught me beauty isn't everything… nor do I need a prince to take care of me." she whispered laying her hand on Doug's "I hope his father knows how wonderful a son he raised."

"Evie." Doug whispered, feeling his ears burning as he looked to his mom.

"Have you gotten to meet your stepsister yet?" she asked knowing Snow White was a big part of her own family's life.

"Not officially, though she's made quite a few compliments about my designs." Evie admitted "if she'll accept me I'd love to have a relationship with her since I didn't really have one with my mother besides her teaching me to look as beautiful as I can,… ironic in my opinion since she tried to kill my stepsister for her natural beauty."

"Well you're likely to see her tomorrow, she loves all my uncles but my dad has always had a special place with her… she's also mine, Doug's and our cousins' godmother." Derek explained.

"You think she'll like me?" Evie whispered, now realizing how soon she could be meeting her stepsister.

"Aunt Snow loves everyone including your mother. She'll probably help you with your wedding dress if you want." Derek replied seeing how nervous the question had made his younger brother.

"Thank you so much, Derek." Evie whispered, blinking as she became overwhelmed with emotion, realizing this was the family she would be marrying into, a family who loved and looked after one another and it made her more anxious to get to know Daisy, to be there for her and to help her and Doug however she could until his father came to and she could get to know him while he continued to heal with the three of them and Derek caring for him.
