"Call Helena now!" Rashid shouts, making Evie run out and call whoever it is. "What have I done?" He asks himself, overcome with fear and worry.

(...)

"Are you okay? What are you feeling?"

Ben asks his wife for a third time. As soon as he heard about the fainting, he left all his commitments and went to her. When he arrived at the castle, Mal was still unconscious and being cared for by Rashid and Evie.

 "I don't know yet. I don't even know what happened, really."

Mal confessed to her husband.  He's been squeezing and kissing your hands for a few minutes. She watches Rashid and the Fairy Godmother from across the room. Something inside her tells her that, although she doesn't know what's happening to herself, the wizard and the fairy apparently do.

(...)

The Fairy Godmother had already known that the queen was pregnant since the beginning of the week, Belle unintentionally revealed it, but in any case, they will announce the heir to the kingdom by the end of the week, as the rumor is starting to spread.

Anyway, the principal's real scare came when Rashid told her about his conversation with Merlin.

"I didn't think of that." She speaks to Rashid, still stunned. "We didn't think about it at the moment, we just wanted to save her." She flashed back to when she and the Genie used the Dragon Eye.

"I'm not blaming you, there was a lot going on that day, and we had to save her and the whole kingdom."

Rashid warns, salving her conscience. At the time, of course, he blamed Genie and her for not paying attention during a magic exercise, but that's irrelevant now.

 "Are you sure? It could just be a possibility."

"Just a possibility?" He laughs wryly "Do you have your magic wand?" She confirms, picking up the object, which has recently returned to her hands. "I'll get that contraption from the doctor's office." He talks about the ultrasound machine. "I think we'll find out the truth soon."

He teleports to the medical ward and lets the fairy go to Mal's room.

"Fairy Godmother, everything is fine?"

Mal asks curiously when the fairy enters the room with a downcast look on her face.

"Yes, I'm just waiting for Rashid to arrive."

That's not the answer she expected to hear. Mal grew up and learned to always expect the worst, and now is no different.

Within minutes, the magician arrived with a large ultrasound machine.

"Do you guys want to explain what's going on?"

Ben asks in an authoritative tone for them to explain themselves. Rashid and the Fairy Godmother look at each other, wondering who is going to tell them.

 "All right, two years ago, when Mal gave us her magic so that everything would return to normal and the curses would end after the death of you know who, she gave us a lot of magic, much more than she could bear." Rashid began by saying: "When we saw you, you were almost dead, and we didn't know what to do to help you and the people. So Genius came up with the idea of using the villains' artifacts, and in Mal's case, we thought it would be effective to drain the magic from the scepter and pass it on to her."

"Maleficent's scepter?"

Evie asks, wondering how it can be a good thing to use magic from the world's worst villain.
