Evie sighed as she kept trying to get the toddler to sleep. It had been a few weeks since the boys had failed at watching the toddler. And the boys no longer made fun of her or mocked her for how she parents, Especially because they now had a newfound respect for her for putting up with the toddler everyday. It was late, but Mal was refusing to sleep because her dragon was missing. Evie had looked everywhere for that stupid toy, but she couldn't find it.

   "Sawbewy! Sawbewy! I wan sawbewy ba!" The toddler screamed out as she cried for her missing favorite stuffed animal that had become her new comfort item. Evie was just frantically searching through Mal's toys again hoping to find the dragon, but she didn't see it. "Mal what about your puppy?" Evie asked the toddler as she held the puppy toy up to the toddler she sighed when the toddler just pushed it away. "No! I wan Sawbewy! I no wan dat!" The toddler screamed out.

    Evie was about to lose it she had been searching for that stupid dragon all day and Mal wouldn't stop crying all day. "Come on Mal. I'm trying here. We can't find Strawberry. Please just sleep with something else tonight and we can look again tomorrow," Evie told the toddler as she was desperate right now. She wanted the toddler to stop crying and she was exhausted.

   "No now! I wan Sawbewy now no mowo! Sawbewy! Sawbewy! Sawbewy! Sawbewy!" The toddler screamed out from her crib. Evie just sighed out in frustration as she gave up. She grabbed the toddler as she couldn't do this all night. "Okay fine let's go bother people and wake them all up because you can't wait until tomorrow to find your dragon," Evie told the toddler in frustration as she picked the toddler up and left the dorm.

    She hated this, but Mal wouldn't stop crying and Evie needed to sleep and so did Mal. Evie just sighed as she knocked on Audrey's dorm first feeling so bad right now for waking her friend. A few seconds later a tired and irritated Audrey opened the door. "Ugh who could possibly be bothering me at three in the morning? Evie what are you doing here? It's three in the morning. Why are you awake right now? Is everything okay?" Audrey asked her friend as she was annoyed that someone had woken her, but immediately changed her attitude when she saw it was Evie at her door holding onto the crying and screaming toddler. She was concerned that something was wrong if Evie would come to her so early in the morning.

  Evie just sighed as she looked at her friend. "Audrey I'm so sorry for waking you, but Mal won't sleep because her purple dragon Strawberry is missing. Have you seen it? Because she won't sleep until she finds it and I'm desperate right now," Evie told the girl as she was about to lose her mind if they couldn't find that stupid dragon.

    Audrey just looked at Evie who looked exhausted. It looked like Evie hadn't slept in days. And she looked so stressed out. She had bags under her eyes. And the toddler in her arms was just kicking and screaming with tears flowing down her face while she kept screaming out for her toy.  Audrey just looked at her friend in concern. "Evie when's the last time you even slept? You look like you haven't slept in days. Is Mal really keeping you up that much?" Audrey asked Evie as she was worried about Evie's health. It wasn't healthy to not be sleeping.

    Evie just rolled her eyes at her concerned friend. "Audrey I'm fine. Just answer the question. Have... you... seen... her... purple... dragon?" Evie asked her friend as she exaggerated and spaced out each word in the question.

  Audrey just sighed as she looked at Evie. "No I'm sorry I haven't seen it. But have you tried your mirror?" Audrey asked her friend as she remembered that Evie had a magic mirror that could literally tell her where anything was.

   Evie just groaned as she looked at Audrey. "No, I gave my mirror to Fairy Godmother about a week ago because I stopped needing it. She put it in the museum. And you haven't seen it are you sure?" Evie asked Audrey again as she was desperate.

    Audrey just sighed. "No Evie I'm sorry, but have you ever thought about talking to Fairy Godmother? I mean she is a mom or maybe Belle and Beast they may be able to help you since they are actual parents. I'm sure they have dealt with something like this before," Audrey told Evie as she was trying to help, but she wasn't a parent, so she didn't know how to deal with a missing stuffed animal.

    Evie just groaned again. "Ugh I can't do that. Fairy Godmother has a thing about curfews. If she saw that I was up right now and out of my dorm, she would get angry and I would probably get in trouble, but thanks anyway and sorry for bothering you," Evie told Audrey as she waved goodbye to her and left to go bother someone else.

   "Sawbewy! Sawbewy! " The two year old screamed out over and over again as Evie just ignored her and made her way towards their brothers' dorm. Evie just knocked loudly on their dorm as she didn't care anymore about waking up people. She was super tired and she was growing even more upset as the toddler kept screaming more and more for that stupid toy.

     The boys immediately answered the door looking angry and tired. "Ugh Evieeee what are you doing here? It's three thirty in the morning. Go home and go to sleep. Leave us alone. We were sleeping and you woke us up," Carlos whined out as he was sleeping and she had just rudely woken them up.

      Evie just rolled her eyes at the whining boys. "Oh boo hoo your perfect sleep was interrupted. At least you get to sleep. I haven't been able to sleep properly for months now, especially last week when she got sick and I had to stay with her literally 24/7 because she cried and screamed when I wasn't holding her. I had to stay up all week with her while she was sick. I couldn't even get dressed or use the bathroom without her freaking out. If you thought she was clingy before that is nothing compared to how clingy she can get when she's sick. And I just want to sleep right now, but I can't because her stupid stuffed dragon is missing and she refuses to sleep without it and she has been crying non stop all day. So just answer my question. Have... you...seen...her...purple...dragon?" Evie pretty much screamed out at the boys as she was stressed and just wanted to find that stupid toy, so she could sleep.

     And she was jealous of the boys for getting to sleep while she was staying up with a screaming toddler who wouldn't stop screaming. Jay just sighed as he looked at his stressed out friend. "Dang Evie, chill it. You sound crazy right now. And sorry we haven't seen her dragon, but you can check if you want. I doubt it's here since she never comes in here, but you can check anyway," Jay told Evie as he let her in.

     Evie just groaned when she had searched everywhere in their dorm, but didn't see the stupid toy. "Ugh this is so frustrating. Where did she put that stupid thing? I don't get it she just had it yesterday," Evie screamed out as she picked up the crying toddler from the floor and headed out the door without even saying bye.

   Evie was about to knock on Jane's door next when she ran straight into Fairy Godmother who was holding up a flashlight and pointing it at her. "Bibbidi bobbidi busted," Fairy Godmother told the young teen as she had caught her breaking curfew. 

   Evie just froze not knowing what to say. "Um I can explain. It wasn't my fault. Mal can't find her stuffed dragon and she refuses to sleep or stop crying until we find it. I was going to wait until tomorrow, but she won't stop screaming and it's driving me insane. And I just want to sleep," Evie rambled out to the older mom as she tried to get herself out of trouble.

   Fairy Godmother just smiled as she picked up the screaming toddler and began to bounce her. "Hey there sweetie what's wrong?" Fairy Godmother asked the toddler trying to calm her like she used to do with Jane when she was younger. Mal just looked at the nice lady who was holding her. "Sawbewy go bye bye. An I mi sawbewy. Sawbewy my be fwen," the small girl told Fairy Godmother.

   Fairy Godmother just let out a fake gasp. "Oh no your dragon is missing. Well you know what?  I bet if you closed your eyes and wished really hard for Strawberry to come back then she would. Can you do that for me?" Fairy Godmother told the small girl.

   Mal just stopped crying as she nodded and closed her eyes. Evie just stood there watching, having no clue what Fairy Godmother was planning on doing that toy was gone. She had looked literally everywhere and she had even called Olivia's parents hoping it was at Olivia's, but they told her it wasn't there and they looked everywhere.

   Evie just stared in amazement when Fairy Godmother did something with her hands and a few seconds later a purple dragon stuffed animal that looked exactly like Mal's appeared. Fairy Godmother just smiled as she looked at the toddler. "Mal you can open your eyes now. Look your wish worked," Fairy Godmother told the tiny girl with her overly exaggerated happy voice.

    Mal just looked at the dragon as she immediately grabbed it and held it so tight. "Sawbewy! You ba! I mi you! Nebew weabe me aben. I wob you Sawbewy," the toddler screamed out excitedly as she held onto the dragon and a few seconds her eyes closed as she fell asleep on Fairy Godmother who was smiling.

    Evie just stood there in shock having no clue what to say. "I how? How did... How did you do that?" Evie asked the fairy in shock. Fairy Godmother just smiled as she handed the sleeping toddler back to Evie. "I just used my magic to make a new dragon toy appear. I went through this before Evie. I used to have a toddler remember. It tends to work best if you buy multiple of the same toy. That way when they lose it you just bring out the other. Kids usually can't tell the difference. When Jane was younger I used to have like five or six of her favorite toy. I just hid the others away just in case. She never even realized that I had been replacing it whenever she would lose one," Fairy Godmother told Evie with a smile.

    Evie just smiled back as she could finally go to sleep. "Fairy Godmother thank you so much. You are a lifesaver. I swear tomorrow I am going to buy like ten of those things because knowing Mal she will be losing them all the time. Thank you. I don't think I would ever get her to calm down without you. You are a much better parent than I could ever be," Evie told Fairy Godmother as she felt horrible that she couldn't calm her sister, but Fairy Godmother could. It made her feel like a failure at parenting.

    The older mother just smiled at the younger girl. "Don't worry about it Evie. I've been through this before, so if you ever have any problems don't hesitate to ask. I know I told you a few months ago when you were fighting for custody that I didn't think you could handle it. Well I was wrong Evie. Parenthood is hard and it's difficult, but it's worth it in the end, and you Evie are doing an amazing job at it. And I know it may look like I am better at it than you, but that's just because I've been through it already. You should have seen me when Jane was younger. I was a mess," Fairy Godmother told the teen as she tried to make her feel better.

    Evie smiled as she looked at the older woman. "Thank you Fairy Godmother that means a lot. But I really do need to get back to my dorm, so I can get some sleep," Evie told the fairy as she waved bye and went back to her dorm.

    As soon as they got back to the dorm Evie just held the small girl to her as she got into her bed. "Mal you are such a handful, but I love you," Evie told the sleeping toddler as she pulled her closer to her. And a few seconds later Evie fell asleep with the toddler cuddled up on her and Evie's arms protectively wrapped around the small girl.

   While Evie slept with the toddler curled up on her she felt grateful that she got to have her as her little sister. Parenting was hard and stressful, but as Evie held the small girl to her all of that difficulty and stress became worth it. Evie wouldn't trade this life for anything. She loved raising her little sister even if it was hard. She would do anything for her sister.
