Chapter 1: Baby Steps for Adam and Belle

It has been a year after Prince Adam turned back into a human and he and Belle got married. Belle lives in his castle and they are living happily ever after. All of Adam's servants were glad to be human again and that he was able to love someone and earn her love back. Belle and Adam truly loved each other after Adam saved Belle from the wolves and after their dance. It was hard for Adam to find love since he had an ugly exterior, but Belle didn't care about his looks. All she loved about him was his interior, and so did Adam after he spent days with her. One winter day in France, Belle was in her room reading a book from the library. Then, Lumiere and Cogsworth came into her room, and Cogsworth asked, "Are you doing okay, darling?" Belle smiled and said, "Yes of course. Thank you for asking. But, I'm having some stomach problems…" Lumiere asked, "Oh no, what does it feel like?" She replied, "It feels like cramps. In the lower part of my stomach." Cogsworth said, "Okay, okay. We'll go get some medicine for you." She said, "Thank you." They then walked out of the room and Belle put down her book. She then heard a noise coming under the bed. She asked herself, "What was that?" She looked under the bed and saw nothing. Belle said, "Huh. I wonder what made that noise." When she sat up, she saw the enchantress that turned Adam into a beast. She gasped in fright and the enchantress said, "Oh please, pardon me, dear." Belle asked, "Wh-What are you doing here? Are you trying to scare me?" The enchantress laughed and then said, "Oh no, honey. I'm here to tell you why your stomach pains are occurring." Belle walked to her bed and she sat on it and asked, "You know why I'm aching?" The enchantress smiled and excitedly said, "You're pregnant, Belle!" Belle gasped and then passed out. The news the enchantress told was true; Belle was having a baby. 10 minutes later, Belle woke up, and the enchantress was still there. Belle screamed and the enchantress said, "Belle, dear, I keep scaring you." Belle sat up and she asked, "Are you sure I'm pregnant?" The enchantress said, "Oh yes. I never lie. Yet, you'll have to tell your husband." Belle said, "Oh no. I don't know how to tell him! What do I do?!" She was freaking out and the enchantress said, "Don't worry, Belle. He won't get mad at you. Trust me, he loves you too much to get mad at you." Belle was breathing hard and then the doorknob rattled. Lumiere asked, "Belle?" Belle gasped and she told the enchantress, "Go! Go! Go!" The lady giggled then disappeared in the air. Lumiere and Cogsworth then walked in with some tea. Cogsworth said, "Well, we couldn't find some medicine, so we brought you some tea." Belle said, "Thank you. Do you know where Adam is?" Lumiere said, "He's in the town. Do you need him?" Belle closed her eyes and pursed her lips. Lumiere asked her, "Belle, are you okay?" Belle opened her eyes and quickly said, "I need to tell Adam that I'm pregnant and I really want that tea!" She sighed and Lumiere and Cogsworth's jaws dropped. Cogsworth asked, "Whoa, you are?" Belle nodded and slightly smiled. They both smiled and then ran to her. Lumiere said, "That's great! Master will love it!" Belle smiled and asked, "He will?!" Cogsworth said, "Yes, yes. Master loves you." Belle stood up from her bed and she said, "Well, all I need to do is tell him." She slowly walked out of the room with Lumiere and Cogsworth following her. When she looked down from the stairs, she saw Chip and the puppy playing around. Belle smiled because she then thought of her own baby playing around with the dog. Chip saw her and he said with his British accent, "Oh, hi Belle!" She smiled at him and said, "Hi Chip." She walked down the stairs and she walked to Chip. She patted the puppy's head and he panted. Chip said, "We were running outside." Belle looked towards the door and saw the trail of snow they brought in from outside. She giggled and then looked at Chip. She asked, "Hey, do you think you can keep a secret?" Chip said, "Uh, yes. I'm pretty good at keeping secrets." Belle smiled and said, "Okay. This is a big one, okay? So, you got to promise me not to tell the Master, okay?" He nodded and then she smiled and said, "Well… I am having a baby." Chip gasped happily and smiled and asked, "Really?!" Belle giggled and said, "Yep. So, please don't tell him because I want to tell him." Chip then hugged her and he said, "I'm so excited for you, Belle." She smiled and said, "Thanks, Chip." Then she heard Adam outside, and she said, "Oh, uh, Chip go somewhere else!" Then he ran off with the puppy. Belle stood up and she looked at the door when Adam walked in. He smiled and said, "Hey Belle." She smiled and said, "Hi." He walked up to her and kissed her. He asked her, "How are you?" They both walked upstairs and she said, "Good. How are you?" He said, "I'm good." They walked into their room and he sat down his things on the floor. She smiled at his smiling face and he picked her up. They chuckled and he carried her to the bed. Adam sat her on the bed and they kissed again. Then she laid down and he got above her and they kept kissing each other. Then, after 5 minutes, Belle said, "Hey, um, I have something to tell you something. Good news." Adam smiled and he sat next to her and she sat up. She took his hand and smiled. He smiled at her beautiful face and she said, "The enchantress came into our room today. I've been having pains in my stomach lately, and she told me that… I'm pregnant… with your baby." His jaw dropped and he asked, "No way! Really?!" She smiled and she asked, "Yeah. Are you okay?" He smiled and said, "I'm better than ever! I can't believe that I'm going to be a father!" Belle then laughed and he picked her up and kissed her happily. Obviously, Adam was so glad that Belle was going to have his child.
