Evie sighed as she sat with the other moms in the baby play group which was really just an opportunity for babies to play with others and gain some more social interaction while the moms just bragged about how great their babies were and gossiped about everything.

    It was honestly making Evie even more worried about Mal's development. It had been a few months since Mal had left the hospital and she was now almost 9 months old.

    "Oh my gosh look at my son! He's almost walking! I'm so proud of him!" One of the annoying moms bragged out and the others just started agreeing and bragging about their own baby while Evie was just staying silent and watching Mal who was just sitting and playing with toys while the others her age were crawling around and some were even standing up and grabbing onto things.

      All of the things that the moms were talking about Mal couldn't do. Evie was really hoping that the other moms would just forget she was there, but unfortunately Evie was never very lucky.

      "So which one is yours?" One of the moms with the most "advanced" baby asked her with an annoying smug smile letting Evie know that she already knew which baby was Evie's as it was obvious.

       Evie had blue hair and there was a blue haired baby there. The lady knew that Mal was her baby and she also could clearly see how behind Mal was compared to her "advanced" daughter and the other babies not far behind. The annoying mom clearly just wanted to rub it in Evie's face that her baby was "better" than Evie's baby.

         Evie just sighed as she looked at the mom, not liking the lady's tone. "Mines the only blue haired baby here," Evie told the mom who just let out an obnoxious fake laugh. "Oh I thought so! I just wanted to make sure! She's adorable how many months is she? I'm guessing she's about 4 or 5 months!" The annoying lady told Evie and Evie knew from the older woman's tone that she knew Mal was older than that, but just wanted to make Evie feel worse.

        "Oh um no. She's actually almost 9 months," Evie told the lady nervously and she cringed a little when all of the mom's started their ramblings about how Mal didn't look nine months old and about how their babies were all the same age and could do so many things that Mal couldn't.

        Honestly it was just making Evie more paranoid about everything. When the ladies finished their rambling they all just smiled at her as if they hadn't just completely freaked her out as they just got up and grabbed their babies and left. In which after a few minutes of letting the information absorb into her brain Evie did too.

        Evie just sighed as she picked up Mal and made her way back to her new home which was a starter castle that they had gotten a really good deal on after Evie had gone off on Beast and Belle making them feel guilty and they offered for them to get a new starter castle for very cheap in order to help out their family in a way of trying to make it better. It didn't change what they did, but it was still a great deal in which Evie and Carlos immediately jumped at the opportunity.

            They had been wanting to get their own place for awhile, but couldn't afford one however thanks to the former king and queen's guilt they were able to afford a new place for their family.

             When she got inside Carlos was waiting for her as he smiled and kissed her. "Hey my beautiful queen how was it?" Carlos asked Evie and she just laughed at how adorable he was as she kissed him again. "Well my handsome king it was okay. And I can tell you more about it later, but at least we're lucky enough to come home to you," Evie told Carlos who blushed.

             Their little romantic moment was ruined when Celia who had been grounded again came out from her new room clearly already in a bad mood. "Gross will you two get a room!" Celia told the two older teens in disgust making Evie laugh as she looked at Celia.

               "Sorry anyway, where's Dizzy at?" Evie asked the young girl as she handed the baby over to Carlos as she had been reaching for him. Celia just sighed as she looked at Evie while pointing at Carlos. "She went out with some friends. I was supposed to go too, but Mr Dad over here grounded me," Celia told Evie as she pointed to Carlos.

                  Carlos just sighed as he looked at Evie who was giving him a confused look. "Our report cards came in and she failed a class," Carlos told Evie who just nodded in understanding as she looked over at Celia. "Is this true?" Evie asked Celia who just groaned as she knew Evie was clearly siding with Carlos.

                   "Yes, but it was only math! That class is stupid anyway! It's so pointless," Celia told Evie who just sighed as she looked at Celia. "It doesn't matter what class it was! You can't be failing classes! If you actually studied when you were supposed to instead of practicing fortune telling then you wouldn't be failing classes and you could go out with friends like Dizzy!" Evie scolded Celia who just sighed.

                     "Ugh whatever! Come on Mal you're the only one in this house that I'm not upset with right now," Celia told the giggling baby as she picked up the baby from Carlos and bounced her a little while bringing her into her room and slamming the door in frustration.

                        Evie and Carlos both just sighed as they looked at each other. Celia was still having a hard time seeing them as authority figures as she kept claiming they weren't her dad and couldn't tell her what to do. It was a little better now, but it still wasn't great.

                         "Well that happened," Carlos told Evie who just nodded sadly. "Yeah I know. I wish she would just accept us at least a little bit," Evie told Carlos who nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but she's a rebellious tween. What do you expect," Carlos told Evie playfully wanting to cheer her up.

                           Evie just laughed as she looked at Carlos. "Yeah and she stole our baby," Evie told him back, making him laugh. "Yeah I know. We should steal her back!" Carlos told Evie back, making her laugh in agreement. "Oh yeah for sure!" Evie told Carlos, making him laugh more as they began to devise a plan on how to get their baby back.

                             While Carlos and Evie were coming up with a plan the door barged open as Dizzy came back in and took one look at Carlos and Evie. "Um what are you two doing?" Dizzy asked the two teens causing them to jump up in surprise as they immediately composed themselves.

                               "Celia stole our baby!" They both screamed out at the same time making Dizzy laugh at how ridiculous Evie and Carlos were acting. "Okay and she's just down the hall. If you want Mal back you should just go and ask for her back," Dizzy told Evie and Carlos who just laughed.

                                "Yeah but what's the fun in that," Carlos told Dizzy, making her laugh and roll her eyes. "You know you two can be so ridiculous sometimes," Dizzy told the two who just laughed. "Yeah but it's fun to be ridiculous every once in a while, so will you help us!" Evie asked Dizzy who just laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

                                   "Yeah sure! Oh and Evie how was that play group thing with Mal," Dizzy told Evie as she came and sat down by them. Evie just sighed as she remembered the play group, but she just pushed that away as she smiled at Dizzy. "I'll tell you two about it later, but for now let's get our baby back!" Evie playfully told the others, making them laugh.

                                     "Yeah!" Carlos and Dizzy screamed at the same time as they all three broke into laughter enjoying their family bonding moment with their oldest.
