Camelot

Some time ago

"Kid, you know there's a possibility of... "

Merlin says to Rashid before he interrupts him.

Rashid had gone to the wizard because he needed the confirmation that only the old magic teacher could give. Merlin is one of the wisest and most knowledgeable men about magic that anyone has ever heard of, as well as being a friend, which is why the boy from Wonderland wanted to see him, because he needed to know about all the dangers of Mal's pregnancy.

"I know, Merlin, I had the ultrasound yesterday and I didn't see much. The baby has magic, but it's weeks old, so it's all very new." Although he knew the reality, Rashid wanted to hear something different. "But she hasn't shown any symptoms yet."

"Watch the signs, Mal needs to decide what to do as soon as possible."

Castle of the Beast

The news is never encouraging. Knowing that your child is at risk of having your magic or that of his grandmother, who is Mistress of Evil, is frightening. But receiving the news that she and the baby might have enough magic to destroy each other is too much for anyone to bear without freaking out.

"Mal, I need to be sure, I need to read some books." Rashid is trying to use all his big brain to remember all the spells, stories, potions, and everything he's learned throughout his life. "And to see someone."

In the midst of the chaos that is his mind, he thinks of the best alternative, to go after someone smarter than him.

"Who?"

Mal asks, startled and still in shock at what she's heard.

"Nanny."

He says, certain that her "grandmother" could be the one to give him all the answers he wants.

"Nanny?"

"Nanny has books and potions that no one else has, maybe she can help with something."

"Okay, we'll go there." Mal gets out of bed and gets ready in a hurry. She's not sure if she wants to go, but if she had one more doubt in her mind, she'd freak out. "Mrs. Potts, I'm going out with Rashid. In case Ben asks for me, tell him I'm with Rashid and the documents from the meeting with Cinderella are on his desk."

"Of course, Mal, is it okay?"

The lady asks, seeing the girl's tear-stained eyes and frightened expression.

"Yes, everything is fine."

Even though everything is the opposite of fine, she doesn't want to scare anyone else with what she considers to be your problems.

"Shall we go?"

Rashid called to her, ready to teleport.

Enchanted Forest

Nanny hasn't felt so well physically or emotionally for years. Seeing Mal has improved her condition so much that she no longer stays in bed for more than a few hours and even dares to walk around the neighborhood.

It was while she was sweeping the floor and singing an old song that she saw Rashid and Mal enter the house.

"Kids, how are you?"

She says to them both with an adorable smile.

"Did you know we were coming?"

Rashid asks. He can't get used to the fairy seeing the future all the time.
