It had been about a month now since Mallory had been born. The baby was still struggling and super tiny, but she was doing better. She was improving a lot more and was starting to gain a little more weight. Which was hard to do as Evie barely had enough food to feed herself which had led to her producing less milk. Mallory was still using the incubator and breathing machine, but Evie was noticing that she was starting to maintain her body heat a bit and most likely wouldn't be needing the incubator soon.

  The boys were out while she was staying in the hideout with her baby. Which had become a new daily routine for them. The boys would go out during the day while they helped their parents and stole food for the group, and Evie would stay hidden in the hideout taking care of their baby and making sure no one got in besides them. Then the boys  would come back during the evening to spend time together and relax. Then at night either Carlos or Jay would stay overnight to watch the baby while Evie slept and gave her a break from watching her all day.

  Evie just sat on the old couch as she held the tiny baby to her and began to feed her some milk from the old bottle that Jay had stolen from the last Auradon shipment. It was a struggle to get her to drink it as she was still learning how to suck on the bottle due to her not fully developed body. Typically it took a long time to bottle feed her as Evie had to help her learn how to suck on the bottle and she had to put all her concentration on the baby.

  After about thirty minutes Evie immediately dropped the bottle as she became startled by the two boys running and barging straight into the hideout looking panicked. Evie just looked at them in confusion and worry as she picked up the halfway full bottle that she dropped and placed the baby back into the incubator knowing that she wouldn't be able to feed the baby with all the distractions.

  "What happened and why are you guys panicking?" Evie asked the two boys in concern and fear as she moved back over from the incubator to face the boys. Carlos and Jay both just took a deep breath to calm down as Jay spoke first.

  "We messed up Evie. I was out stealing again and I went to get Carlos to help since he finished his chores, but I forgot about Cruella and your mom being "friends." I made a comment to Carlos about Mallory and now they know that you had the baby and Cruella also knows Carlos is helping. I forgot Cruella didn't know Carlos was involved," Jay told his little sister in panic.

  Carlos just looked over at the girl who was now frozen in complete fear and panic. She thought her mom forgot about the baby, but now she knew again. She was going to make Evie get rid of her.

"That's not all Evie. My mom and your mom are coming over here now. I heard them talking about it. Your mom is furious at you for still having Mallory and my mom wants to use her as a slave even though she can barely even open her eyes. She thinks Mallory is a puppy that she can torture for fun," Carlos told his panicking friend.

  "WHAT?!? Are you serious? My mom and your mom are coming here right now. What is wrong with you guys. How could you be so careless? We agreed to keep the birth a secret. Gosh my mom is such a gossiper too. Oh gosh what if she tells other people about the baby? I didn't want anyones else to find out about the baby. It's dangerous for her. Babies are weak and innocent. Especially our premature baby who still lives on a breathing machine and sleeps in an incubator. People here love to take advantage of the weak and innocent. Not to mention the fact that she is valuable. She's the granddaughter of the Evil Queen and Cruella De Vil, two of the top villains," Evie practically screamed out as she was panicking and was mad at the boys for accidentally telling her mom and Cruella about the baby. She was blaming them right now.

  The boys both just stood there not saying anything as they knew they messed up. They shouldn't have said anything about the baby especially when they knew how Cruella and Evil Queen felt about the baby. "Evie We're sorry. We didn't mean to tell them. We forgot they were there," Jay told his friend as he tried to calm her down and stop her anger.

   Evie just let out a dry laugh at his statement. "Really you didn't see two of the most evil villains standing right in front of you!?! Yeah like I believe that, and you were in Cruella's house. You didn't think she would be in her own home. Gosh you guys are so stupid sometimes. Now my mom and Cruella are coming here. They are going to try and take Mallory even though Mallory is still so weak and sick. She can barely even breathe, she can't keep her body temperature up on her own, and she still needs help figuring out how to drink milk from a bottle. I don't want my mother or any of your parents anywhere near my baby," Evie screamed out as she walked closer to the incubator in order to protect her baby from the villains that were coming.

   Carlos just looked over at Evie as he knew she was upset, but he didn't like how she was acting as though she was the only one being affected by this. Mallory wasn't just Evie's baby she was his too. And her mom wasn't the only one that was coming to try and take the baby. His mom wanted the baby too only for different reasons. His mom wanted to use her as something that she can torture and eventually use as a slave. He was terrified of his mother just like Evie was and he didn't want his mother anywhere near his baby too.

   It wasn't even his fault that they knew. It was Jay's fault. Jay was the one who came barging into his home and started talking about his baby in front of his mom and the Evil Queen. He even tried to stop Jay, but Jay just kept talking. Now he was being lumped in with Jay for the blame in why their parents knew about Mallory being born and him being involved.

   They all froze in fear and Evie became more guarded by the incubator as soon as they heard the loud crashes coming from the doorway of their hideout as the two evil mothers came in looking angry.

  "Oh where is grandma's "sweet" little granddaughter?" The Evil Queen asked with venom and anger in her voice as she looked over at her daughter who was just standing protectively in front of the incubator. While Carlos was just standing near Jay trying to hide behind him in fear when he saw his mother who was standing next to the Evil Queen and glaring daggers at him and Evie.
