Christmas in Auradon is a hell of a lot more hectic than you would ever believe.

Somehow, King Beast and Queen Belle found a way to make even hanging up Christmas lights an event. There were ribbon cutting ceremonies, winter themed balls to plan, official positions to obtain, and the most stressful one of all: gift hunting. All of the stores had officially gone on sale for the holiday season and with an official list the size of a cookbook to go shopping for, you were as tangled at Ben's Christmas lights. You had tried to plan three months in advance, but even that didn't seem to be enough.

Luckily, there was one thing that helped to keep you sane during this whole horrifically stressful season: your fiancé, Hades. He had been your everything ever since the two of you connected on the Isle, and never once had the two of you separated. When the barrier was finally taken down and the Islanders were welcomed onto the mainland, you feared that Mal would end up hating you as she still held a sore spot for her lizard-like mother.

Little did you know just how wrong you were.

Through the long and difficult days, it was finally the day that you had been looking forward too for so long. Christmas Day. You had the pleasure of getting to wake up Hades like a little child, bouncing up and down on the bed as you shook him awake, your eyes ablaze with excitement as you could already picture his face once he opened your gift to him.

Now you were all sitting in a circle around the enormous Christmas Tree, just you, Hades, Mal, Ben, Ben's parents, and the rest of the Core Four plus some others. You had all chosen to go by age, each opening one present at a time until they eventually ran out, starting with the youngest. You got a bunch of presents from everyone that you simply adored, most of them being art supplies or books or handmade clothes from Evie. When Hades finally opened his gift of a new tube of eyeliner and a beautiful love letter attached to front row tickets to his favorite rock band, he was simply overjoyed and proceeded to make out with you in front of everyone until you finally pulled away, giggling like the mad woman that you are ;)

Things were going amazing until all of the gifts were gone except for one that Mal slowly pulled out from between the branches of the tree, hidden from view. She rubbed her thumb over the seal of the white envelope and gave you the cutest smile you had ever seen as she held it out to you.

"For me?" You asked in surprise, eyebrows raising as you hadn't expected her to get you anything. She nodded, her beautiful purple locks bouncing around her PJ covered shoulders. You gently took it out of her grasp and noticed the very anticipated silence going on around you.

You leaned back into Hades's shoulder and felt the butterflies flutter as he wrapped his arm around your waist and used your magic to slice open the envelope. To your surprise, the content wasn't a card. It was a bunch of papers stapled together. In confusion, you unfolded the document and proceeded to read through some of the fine print and blank areas where your signature was needed. Your heart stopped when you finally realized what you were looking at.

Adoption papers.

You slowly raised your gaze to meet Mal's, tears beginning to brim in your eyes. She wanted to be your daughter? Nothing in the world could make you happier, well, besides marrying her father ;)

"Y-You totally don't have to if you don't want to, but I just-"

You were quick to interrupt her, reaching forward to grab her hand and squeeze it tightly, chuckling softly as tears of happiness fell from your eyes. "Mal. I would be honored to call you my daughter."

Tears began to fall from her own eyes as she quickly sat up and threw her arms around you, locking the two of you in a warm embrace. You were quick to hug back, burying your face into her gingerbread themed pajama shirt. This was officially the best Christmas you had ever had, you thought as cheers were heard around you from your friends and family.

Merry Christmas, Y/n. You got a daughter
