SPOILERIf you haven't seen D3! You have been warned!

Ok so I had this little thought come across my mind while listening to the audio book (Jr novelization of D3). About a week ago, that's why I can post this so soon after the movie… How, when, and why would Mal tell only Evie that Hades is her father. My idea takes place after D2 before D3. (Also note according to Disney Wiki Maleficent isn't considered immortal, but Hades is. I am going on Fairy folklore that says they are immortal in that they do not die of natural causes, but can be killed.)

Lady Mal lay on her bed staring at the ceiling, she had just returned from dinner, one in the cafeteria, not one where she needed to be with Ben as his Lady of the Court. It was a rare night alone for Mal, and while she was enjoying being alone, it also left her alone with her thoughts, and that was never good. Evie was out having dinner with Doug and his parents. Parents. Mal wondered what it was like to have both your parents together for your whole life. As far as she knew only Jay knew who both his parents were, but his mother had died having him, so he never knew her. And well...she knew. But that wasn't something she wanted to share. It was bad enough her mother was mistress of all Evil, but if anyone found out her father was the former lord of the underworld. A god no less, there would be no way she could be with Ben.

Mal remembered Family Day, before it all fell apart, that is. All her new friends walking around with both their parents. Chad with both his, Lonnie, Ben. She felt for Jane as her father had passed away when she was young, so he wasn't there, Doug's parents, and all the other AK's. Audrey even had her grandmother present. Well now that Mal thought about it, her parents weren't there either. That was something she had never really thought about until now, she wondered where Aurora and Philip were. They were at Ben's coronation, she remembered them standing by Audrey when she went over to her.

She knew that everyone assumed all the VK's had two villain parents but no one really ever talked about it. Honestly, they never really asked them about the isle, and she and her friends liked that. This was a secret that she had held all her life, no one, and she meant it, no one knew Hades was her father. She was pretty sure EQ and the other parents didn't know that either, or if they did, they never said, for fear of retribution from Maleficent. And if they did she doubted they shared it with their kids as none of her friends had ever talked to her about it. And now that she was here in Auradon, this made her immortal. Being a fairy she could actually be killed but wouldn't died of natural causes, but being part God a demigod and part fairy, it made her immortal for sure, at least she was pretty sure that was the case. How would she tell her friends, that she would be here long after they died.

She knew Carlos was 100% human. As her mother had informed her that his father was a stupid animal freak same as Cruella. She never said his name, but there were only a few on the isle that were obsessed with animals like Cruella. Rumor had it it was Clayton. But no one knew for sure. They did know he and Cruella met often when they first arrived on the isle, and tried to hunt anything they could find, him for sport, her for the fur.

Jay, well his father was a Genie, after he had wished it, but Jay was showing no signs of having Genie magic. And because Jafar, wasn't a Genie at birth, maybe that was why. His mother was 100% human, so Jay...he was most likely human as well. Evie, her mother was a witch but Mal was pretty sure Evie had no idea who her father was. Evie showed no signs just as Jay that she had any magic, so no magic, no immortality.

So...Mal...she would be alone someday, all her friends and Ben having passed away and she still being around. Not long after she choose good, she already had a plan in place, so that no one ever found out, through magic she would make herself age as her friends did, not to hurt their feelings. Then after they were gone, she would go away, fake her death, so that she could move away and start over.

If she and Ben had kids, she would have to explain to them, have them keep the secret, when they were old enough to understand. They would only be ¼ God, and ¼ fairy, so the chances they would be immortal were there, being possibly half of two types of immortal beings, but their kids, her grandchildren, most likely wouldn't unless they had fairy or other magical blood in them from both their parents. So the chances of that were slim. It saddened Mal to think she would most likely outlive not only the love of her life, her best friends, but also her own children and grandchildren and every generation after that. She was destined for a very long lonely life after her friends passed away.

Evie found Mal lost in thought. She was staring out the window, her eyes on the isle. She could go there, once across the border, her immortality may waver and she may die, that she didn't know. Evie cleared her throat, but Mal didn't turn around.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Evie asked. Mal turned, showing Evie her tear stained face. "Oh, M what's wrong, did you and Ben have a fight?"
"No, sorry, just lost in thoughts about the future?"
"The future isn't looking that bad Mal, they will catch Uma." Evie asked confused, if she and Ben hadn't fought, why the tears.
"No…" Mal knew she had to tell someone. "What do you know about your father?"
"Not much, Mom said she was bored and just found a guy on the isle, she isn't even sure of his name, why?" The question really threw Evie for a loop, that was not where she thought this conversation was going.
"I...I am going to tell you something that no one knows, I mean NO ONE knows. I know who my father is."
"You do! Who is it?" Evie was thrilled for her, but Mal's expression, made her happiness fade quickly.
"Please understand this can't leave the room, and when I tell you who it is you will understand," Evie nodded. "Hades." Mal said quietly.

"Are you sure?" Evie didn't act shocked, for her friend, yet she was.
"I am. He did come around for a while until I was a few years old. But he just stopped one day."
"Mal, that's incredible. You are a goddess."
"Demigod, but also part fairy. Think about that E."
"What are you hinting at Mal?" Evie was confused.
"I….I am immortal, I will outlive all of us. Even Ben, our kids."
"M...maybe not."
"No, I already know that, it has been drilled into my head all my life."
"But, fairies are immortal, so Ben must already understand that right?" Evie reasoned.
"I don't know, and fairies can be killed. But besides that, think about it E. My father is the baddest of the Gods and my mother is the Mistress of all evil. Hello they both tried to kill BABIES! If it comes out who my father is, that both my parents tried to kill innocent babies, I am toast! There is no way they would let Ben and I marry, to have children."
"Then we go on telling everyone that you are like me and don't know who your father is. I promise that secret will die with me."
"I knew that, I trust you. Evie, I mean it, no one knows not even Jay." Mal admitted, and Evie knew then, it was a huge secret she was being trusted with. Mal shared things with Jay that she never told Evie or Carlos, after all they were friends the longest. Evie was the newest to the group, that Mal trusted her with this was HUGE.

(D3 scene with Audrey's need for Hades and the ember)

When Mal confessed her father was Hades to the group, Evie watched their faces, nothing like what Mal thought would happen crossed them, but still, there were questions. But most were just hoping Mal was right and he would help her, help Audrey.
