Wining Custody
Evie woke up super early the next morning to the sound of laughing and singing. She tiredly looked out her window and noticed it was still dark out as she noticed that her alarm clock said it was 5:30 AM. She sighed in frustration as to how early it was. It wasn't even sunrise yet and Mal was already up. All Evie wanted to do was get a few more hours of sleep. She was about to just ignore the sounds and go back to sleep when she heard the sound of the TV.
She immediately got up as she looked around in confusion as to how the TV was on. She noticed that Mal was still in her crib bouncing while holding onto the side which made her sigh as it seemed that Mal didn't listen to her about not bouncing in the crib she also noticed that the remote was still where Evie had left it yesterday before going for dinner.
She looked around to see if there was anyone she didn't notice before in her room, but there wasn't and the door was still locked. She looked at the bouncing smiling toddler.
"Mal how is the Tv on? Did you get out of the crib? And what did I say about jumping in your crib?" She asked the hyper bouncing toddler who was watching some cartoon about dragons. As she was curious as to how Mal could get the TV on when she was still in her crib and she was pretty sure Mal didn't know how to use a remote control. She also didn't like how Mal didn't listen to her about not bouncing in the crib.
Mal just smiled as she continued to bounce in the crib. "Poof tb on. Wook wook dwagin, dwagin. Me wub dwagins," Mal screamed happily to her big sister as she pointed to the colorful cartoon dragons.
Evie laughed at how adorable Mal was as she got all excited over the cartoon dragons on the TV, but she also didn't know what Mal meant by poof tv on. She assumed it was just the crazy babbling of an imaginative toddler when it hit her Fairy Godmother said that Mal most likely still had her magic. Which meant that Mal must have accidentally used her magic to turn on the Tv.
Evie's mind began to wander as she became concerned. Mal still had her magic and she apparently didn't need her spell book to do magic as it was obvious that Mal had accidentally used her magic to get the TV on. This was scary as Mal was only two and she didn't want to think about all the bad things that could happen if Mal kept accidentally using her magic.
Mal could end up lost somewhere as the magic could teleport her. She knew that she was going to need to talk to Fairy Godmother about helping her find ways to control Mal's magic, so that she didn't keep accidentally using it. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the sound of a knock at her door. Evie groaned in annoyance as it was too early to be up let alone having people at her door.
Evie opened the door and was surprised to see Ben. She hadn't seen him since she left Carlos and Jay's dorm yesterday. "Oh hey Ben. Um what are you doing here especially this early on a Sunday?" she asked the young king as she was confused as to why Ben would come over at 5:30 in the morning especially on a weekend.
He just smiled at her. "Oh well I figured you would want these papers since Fairy Godmother told me how determined you were to get these. Also I know how early toddlers tend to get up, so I figured you guys would already be up anyway so why wait," Ben told the tired girl as he handed her the guardian papers that Fairy Godmother had mentioned Evie was desperate and determined to have.
Evie smiled as she looked at the papers. "OMG thank you Ben. Yeah I really wanted those papers to sign as the quicker I get them signed the quicker I get to become her official guardian," she told the boy in excitement as she began to read through the papers. She stopped when she noticed Ben was still just standing outside her door awkwardly. "Oh yeah um do you want to come in," she asked him hoping to make it less awkward as he was just standing outside her door most likely waiting for an invitation in as he most likely wanted to come in, but didn't want to just barge into their dorm uninvited.
"Oh um yeah sure," the young king told his friend as he entered her dorm. The first thing he noticed was the adorable tiny toddler who was holding onto the side of her white crib and bouncing up and down and laughing while she watched the show Dragon Tales. Ben couldn't help, but laugh at how excited she got about the dragons. He was honestly surprised that they still played the show as he hadn't seen the show since he was about 5 or 6. It used to be his favorite show as a little boy.
"Wow. I remember this show. I haven't seen it since I was little. I used to love this show," Ben told Evie as he pointed to the Tv with a small laugh as he noticed how excited Mal looked. Evie just looked at the show in confusion as she hadn't really paid attention to what the show was. All she knew was that it had dragons in it. Before Evie could really comment on what he said Ben had begun to walk towards the small toddler in her crib.
Evie immediately stopped him when she noticed how close he was getting to the shy toddler who was only comfortable with her, Carlos, and Jay as she barely knew anyone else and her little sister told her on the way back from dinner how much she didn't like Doug and that he was a meanie.
"Stop. Ben she doesn't like that. Strangers scare her and I told her that only Jay, Carlos, and I can reach her in her crib when she was afraid to sleep in it last night," Evie told the young king trying to stop him from going close to her little sister who was content in her crib as she knew how upset Mal would get about a "strange" boy messing with her. She didn't want to deal with another tantrum about how she didn't like her crib anymore as the "strange" boy had gotten to her. Evie didn't need to deal with that especially not at six in the morning.
Ben just stopped what he was doing as he backed up a bit not wanting to upset Mal or her protective big sister as he knew how angry and scary Evie could get when someone messed with her family or friends especially Mal and Carlos.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't..." he was cut off by the confused and now scared toddler as she had seen him and wanted to know why there was a stranger in the room. "Ebie who dat? me scawewd I wan up," Mal told her big sister as she reached for her as she was afraid of the stranger in her room and wanted her big sister to hold her as it made her feel safe.
Evie just gave Ben a small glare as she had warned him yet he was still too close to the small toddler who was now crying as she reached for Evie. Evie then walked over to the crib and picked up the scared girl as she began to try and soothe her.
"Mal this is my good friend Ben and he is the king of this whole place. Trust me he is super kind and he won't hurt you in fact we are here right now because of Ben's kindness," Evie told her little sister as she was trying to calm her and get her to not be afraid of Ben as he was one of Evie's close friends and the king. She didn't want Mal to be afraid of her friends and especially the king.
Mal smiled at Evie as she spoke "weawy king a da whow pwace. Dats coowl," Mal screamed as she looked over at the boy in surprise and amazement. "You a king. Kings aw coowl," the tiny toddler told the young king in excitement.
Ben just laughed at the girl's excitement as he remembered what Doug had told him last night after dinner about how Mal loved superheroes and thought she was one. "Yeah I guess it's pretty cool, but you know what's even cooler than being a king being a superhero and I heard that you are a pretty cool super hero is that true," he told the girl playfully trying to play along with her and get on her good side as Doug had mentioned that he messed up and Mal probably hated him for it.
Mal just laughed as she began to squirm in Evie's arms as she wanted down as she was no longer afraid and wanted to show off her "superhero" cape. Evie noticing this placed the girl on the floor and laughed when Mal reached for her purple sheet again as Evie helped her tie it around her neck again.
"Yeah I a supa hewo see. I hab a cape. I wike da supa weawers," the tiny toddler told the young king as she began to run around the room with her arms out like a superhero. "Okay that's enough Mal it's way too early to be running around right now, and if you're not careful you can get hurt," Evie told her tiny sister as she caught her when she ran by. "Ebie wet go. I a supa hewo. I wanna sabe da wowd," Mal told her big sister as she thought that she could save the world by running around and spelling things out like the super readers did.
Evie just sighed as she placed the small girl on the floor. She then began to fill out all the forms that Ben had given her while watching Mal and making sure she didn't get hurt. Ben was tickling the small girl whenever she ran by him causing her to laugh more. Evie smiled at her sister and her friend as she knew that she had finished signing the papers and needed to turn them in.
"Hey Ben can you watch her while I take these forms to Fairy Godmother and go to the store as I need to buy some toddler supplies and I promised her new sheets and some toys?" Evie asked the young king as she needed to turn in the forms and buy some things that Mal would need, but she didn't want to take the small hyper toddler with her especially this early in the morning and she felt that she could trust Ben.
Ben just smiled back at her. "Yeah sure I can watch her," he told his friend as he knew how determined she was to turn in the forms and shop for things as it looked like she didn't have much toddler things and he also knew how difficult it could be to travel around with a hyper toddler and he figured Evie could use a small break while she turned in the forms and shopped.
"Okay thanks. Just remember to keep a close eye on her. She is still really mischievous and you need to constantly watch her. Please constantly watch her. She loves to explore and she has her magic too so don't let her use it. I'm trusting you please don't blow it. I swear if anything happens to her I will hurt you. I don't care if you're the king if something happens to her I will hurt you," Evie told the young king as she began to worry about leaving Mal again as last time had not gone so well, but she needed to get the forms in as soon as possible and get supplies as she only had a crib and some over sized toddler clothes and it was easier to leave Mal behind with a babysitter as Mal would get bored and she didn't know how long it would take to deal with all the paperwork and shop.
"Relax Evie it's fine I can handle watching her. I am a king I watch over a whole kingdom of people. I'm pretty sure I can handle watching one tiny toddler for a few hours while you go deal with gaining guardianship of her and getting some things that she will need" Ben told the over protective big sister as he tried to convince her that he could handle watching her little sister.
"Okay yeah you're right. Mal I'm leaving for a little bit. I need you to stay with Ben and please be good," Evie told her sister as she left. Mal immediately began to cry as she tried to run after her big sister not wanting her to leave. "Ebie no weave. Ebie no weave," the tiny toddler cried as she tried to follow her, but was pulled back by Ben.
Ben just sighed as he held back the screaming girl who kept trying to follow Evie as he just knew that he had no clue what he had just gotten himself into.
