Bal: two different worlds

Reality

*a few hours later Mal woke up to find Ben no longer sat with her but instead Evie was in his place, she used what strength she could find in herself to sit up and smile at Evie who quickly refocused and smiled back, having zoned out until now*
Evie: hey
Mal: hi
Evie: sorry, Ben had to go talk to one of the doctors about something and then I think he said the twins needed feeding?
Mal: it's okay
Evie: do you want me to go get him?
Mal: E, calm down
Evie: sorry I just...I don't know
Mal: I get it, but I'm fine E, we're rotten to the core remember? I'm not going down that easily
Evie: rotten to the core...I haven't heard that in a really long time now, it doesn't sound like it used to
Mal: I know, it's been five years, evil seems like a foreign concept now
Evie: I don't miss the evil, I was never really into it to begin with, I don't think my mother really was either she just wanted to be the most beautiful
Mal: but it still feels weird to be trying to be one of them doesn't it?
Evie: very
Ben: we don't want you to pretend to be like us, we want you to be you
*Mal and Evie both jump a little as they turn to see Ben sneaking in*
Mal: oh, uh hey
Ben: I can come back later if you'd like?
Mal: no, stay
Evie: I can go
Mal: can I just have my two favourite people sit in one room with me for a while? Ben, we're not gonna start getting all girly on you or super secret bestie stuff, I'm me not a prissy little weirdo, and Evie, we aren't just gonna casually Ararat making out of anything so you don't need to run for the hills
Ben: there's our girl
Evie: sounds about right
Mal: I don't miss being evil but I do miss the time when it was an all dark leather and combat boots wardrobe
Evie: and I miss just casual dates and us sharing a room at the school
Mal: same, Ben you never take me out on dates anymore
Ben: in my defence, you were pregnant until less than a week ago and you didn't like leaving the bed let alone the castle
Mal: hush
Evie: if it makes you feel any better...uh yeah I don't know, life's actually pretty good for me
Mal: Lucky
Ben: hey!
Mal: I'm in a hospital bed while our twins were born 5 days ago, do you blame me?
Ben: reasonable
Evie: well when you're better I'm gonna steal you away for an afternoon
Mal: sounds good to me
Ben: not now, but in a couple of months, you guys should just take the weekend to have a girly weekend away
Mal: I can't just leave you with the twins alone for a whole weekend
Ben: in a couple of months I'll be back on track and it'll be fine
Evie: sounds like a rest idea to me
Mal: okay then
*Evie's phone buzzes and when she checks it she sees it's a text from Doug*
Evie: oh, I'm really sorry but I've gotta go, apparently Doug's outside to pick me up, I'm not sure why but yeah
Mal: okay, I'll see you soon
Evie: take care of yourself
Mal: stop we're not gooey people
Evie: maybe you aren't
Mal: don't sass me
Evie: haha okay, bye then
Ben: bye Evie
Mal: bye
