Here is the next chapter!

This will be my first time writing a Jane x Carlos chapter/one-shot/fan-fic. I have a very cute idea when it comes to this couple for this story. You won't see the idea for quite some time, but keep an eye out for it. Trust me, you'll know what it is once you read it.

Enjoy!


To say that Carlos was nervous about his date with Jane was an understatement. They have been together for almost three years now, but Carlos still finds himself tongue-tied every time he goes out with Jane.

But this one would be different.

You see, during Jane's final year at Auradon Prep, Carlos saved enough money for them to rent an apartment together, that way Jane wouldn't have to stay with King Beast and Queen Belle. They moved into the two-bedroom apartment during Jane's winter break. They didn't have enough money to get each other a Christmas gift, but they deemed moving in together would be one.

One year into moving in with one another, Carlos noticed Jane was acting differently. He first noticed the change when they attended Audrey and Gil's wedding. She was quiet and more reserved than usual. She acted fine the next day, but then changed into that 'Act' again when they attended Mal and Ben's wedding. Jane seemed to be fine for a few months until the two married couple had their sons. Her Act appeared once again as she gazed at the two children and their parents with a certain gleam in her eye.

A month later, Carlos realized that the 'certain gleam' was jealousy.

And he wanted to do something about it.

Carlos almost had everything ready for his surprise for Jane when her Act appeared again on Valentine's Day, which was one day before Uma and Harry's wedding.

"I'm planning something for you," he had admitted when he noticed the Act again. "I don't have enough money now to give it to you. If you give me one more month, I swear you won't regret it. You won't have this Act anymore. I promise."

Jane seemed to cheer up at the announcement. She was more talkative and more like her usual self. Even their friends noticed how cheerful she was.

Well it was time for the surprise as less than a month had passed, making it March 9th, 2021. Carlos made a reservation for one of the nicest restaurants in town for eleven that morning. As they were finishing with their meal, Carlos began his speech that he's been mentally preparing for.

"We've been together for over three years now," he started. "We've been living together for over a year. We have seen some of our closet friends marry one another, and . . . I think it's our turn."

He moved from his seat so he could kneel on one knee with a beautiful ring with a blue gem in hand. Jane gasped, even though she had seen it coming.

"Jane," Carlos slowly began to contain his nervousness, "will you marry me?"

Jane squealed in delight. "Yes!"

The couple kissed as Carlos placed the ring on her finger while the other customers of the restaurant applauded in congratulations.

Jane pulled away with a smile. "I can't wait to tell my mother!"

If Jane had known how her mother was going to react, she never would have told her.

Jane had video-chatted with her mother as soon as she and Carlos returned to their apartment. Fairy Godmother stared at her daughter in shock before slowly shaking her head in denial and disapproval.

"No," Fairy Godmother determined. "You will not marry him."

Jane dropped her jaw in disbelief. "Why not?" She challenged her mother. "Carlos has been very good to me. He would never do anything to hurt or disrespect me."

"Jane, think about your future!" Fairy Godmother insisted. "If you marry now, you'll never become teacher like you've always wanted. He will hold you back."

"Mother, I'm ahead of my studies and at the top of my class because of his help." Jane pointed out in defense. "He's helped me get so far ahead that I could probably be a teacher after the next school year. Don't you want what's best for me?"

"I do!" Fairy Godmother claimed. "But he's not it! Imagine if you had a child with him. It would be bullied for being a child of hero and a villain on top of being a quarter black."

Jane fumed in rage. "So, you don't want me to marry Carlos because it will ruin your perfect image to have a 'VK' grand-child?"

Her mother couldn't answer her. Fairy Godmother's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water as she tried to think of something to say.

"You know what?" Jane asked rhetorically. "I will marry Carlos, tonight! There's nothing that you can say or do to change my mind."

"You're making a mistake!"

"My only mistake was telling you when I should have told you nothing," Jane retorted bitterly. "Good-bye, Mother."

Jane ended the video call before Fairy Godmother could argue with her. Sighing, she looked up at her fiancé, who was seated across from her at the kitchen table. "How do you feel about eloping?" Jane half-joked.

A few short hours later, Carlos and Jane found themselves standing in a wedding chapel with their ten friends and three children in attendance.

Neither one of them were the least bit nervous. They were more excited than anything. Although it wasn't the wedding they wanted, it was more than enough for them. Their friends were there and that was enough for them.

As they kissed to signify their marriage, they couldn't wait to see what their future together held for them.
