Chapter Ten
Evie's POV
After a while Mal eventually stops crying and falls asleep, I wrap her blanket around her before heading toward the door. Thinking about what I have just found out about my friend and contemplating whether or not I should go and get Ben and follow through with forcibly dragging her to see someone. But I couldn't do that to Mal, well I could but I'd wait until she actually told Ben she was pregnant then I would and I bet Ben would help me! I think to myself as I knock on Ben's door, he opens it instantly. "Evie. Is Mal alright?" He asks me, his eyes full with worry. I bite my lip nervously. "Yeah she's fine! She's asleep at the moment. I came here concerning my mother." I sigh. "My parents and the Fairy Godmother are with her, I can take you to them if you want. Since it is your mother after all." He smiles at me kindly. I nod. "Yes please." I smile back as he takes me down the corridor to wherever it is they are hiding my mother.
Carlos's POV
Jane and I lie on the bed laughing and talking about stuff she has been doing whilst I was on the Isle. We don't talk about what went down on the Isle as I really am not ready to talk about it. I honestly thought I was going to be burnt at the stake by Ben's father back there and it unnerves my greatly but what is also bothering me is Jay, who keeps pacing up and down the room. "Jay will you please sit down. You're making me extremely nervous." I sigh. "Sorry Carlos. I am just bothered by something." He holds his head in his hands. "Is it Audrey again?" Jane smiles at him sympathetically. "Is it with what happened to your dad, because it's the same with my mom." I add. "No it's not either of those things. I mean they are bothering me but not as much as this." He tells us. "What? Tell us what's up?" Jane pushes. "I can't." He sighs. "Jay I'm practically your brother you can tell me anything." I say calmly, not wanting to push him too far. "Evie and Mal came to visit me earlier. They wanted me to steal something for them." Jay looks down guilty. "So you did, like you would do on the Isle. Is that what's bothering you?" I smile at him sadly. "No it wasn't that even it was what they wanted me to get. Apparently Evie and Chad got down in the woods and now she's afraid something may have become of that encounter so she wanted me to steal her a pregnancy test. I'm rather worried that Evie may be pregnant." He admits to us. I cover my mouth with my hands. "Ohh my god." I gasp, unable to hide my surprise at the revelation and Jane practically falls off the end of the bed. "Are you alright?" I look at her on the floor. "I knew it. Ohh my god I knew it." She cries. "What? Did Evie talk to you about this?" I ask. "No, I don't mean Evie. Jay I don't think they've been entirely honest with you. I don't think it's Evie who's pregnant. I think it's Mal." She reveals. "WHAT!" Jay and I yell simultaneously. "Remember the other day when I said to you about Mal, what if she's? And I stopped." Jane looks to me, I nod. Vaguely remembering that moment the day before we went to the Isle Of The Lost. "Well I thought then she was pregnant. I mean she's throwing up all the time, her magic's been out of wack and didn't you say her magic completely went which messed up the mission?" She looks between Jay and I. We all nod. "Ohh my god." I bury my face in his hands. "Do you think she's told Ben yet?" Jane asks softly. "Nope and I bet she refuses to see anyone." Jay mutters, reminding us of Mal's tough exterior.."What she needs to! This isn't the Isle anymore and if it is Ben's kid then it's the future king/queen of Auradon! This is beyond serious!" I practically shriek. "Try telling Mal that." Jane rolls her eyes. "I'll get a pair of handcuffs, Evie and Carlos can drag her as I bet Evie's in on it. Considering she let Mal lie for her." Jay pipes up, as I stare out of the window knowing that wherever Mal may be she'll be in a right state and I worry for her as I know that this is something Mal is not going to take easily.
Evie's POV
Ben leads me down various corridors until we get to a flight of stairs that seem to go down into a black hole, I look over a Ben for an explanation. "We decided to keep your mother in the dungeons. The Fairy Godmother and my parents will be down there, just so you know but I think you of all people have a right to be here right now as you are her daughter after all." Ben smiles at me kindly. "Thank you." I say as I really don't know what to say to any of this. Ben looks over at me as if he wants to ask me something. "What's up?" I ask, he looks relived at me saying something. "After we've gone to your mother do you mind coming back with me to my quarters, something's arrived and I need your help." Ben asks, I nod. "Of course, what is it?" I begin to ask yet stop as we reach a door. "We're here."
We enter a room in which Ben's parents are in, the Fairy Godmother and in the middle, surrounded by chains, my mother who snarls at me when I enter. "My daughter, one of them. I would never have thought." She spits. "I never belonged on the Isle. I wasn't good enough for you, I was just a pretty face there. Here I am more, I have my family and it does not include you." I growl. "Be careful dear." The Fairy Godmother warns me gently. "It's alright." I smile at her softly. "What do you want? Why bring back Maleficent? She was your rival!" I question. "Her back up plan." She replies. "What back up plan?" Ben pitches in. "You see daughter of mine. Maleficent didn't believe that her useless excuse of a daughter, or any of you could actually go though with the plan to steal the wand so we created a back up plan in case something went wrong." She smirks. "Don't you dare call Mal useless!" Ben yells advancing on my mother. "Ben!" His parents hold him back. "And with your help our plan succeeded, we're off the island and now nothing can stop us from taking over Auradon, ohh and King Ben? There's a price on your head and make no mistake you will die at out hands."
The Fairy Godmother and Ben's parents dismiss us from the room as Ben was probably going to kill my mother if she carried on insulting Mal so we head back to Ben's place to discuss what he wanted to talk about and boy was I surprised.
Mal's POV
Another day goes by. I haven't seen Ben since we arrived back from the Isle as yesterday I just stayed in bed all day and the day before I found out I was pregnant…. So I am kinda glad I hadn't seen Ben as I know I have to tell him and I don't think he'll take it well. Evie has been in and out the last few days, telling me encouraging things but she was barely in yesterday, which saddened me deeply as she's the only person I can talk to about his as I can't pretend it isn't happening because it is. I have slept a lot the past day and when I awake I normally find that my hand is resting on my stomach, my baby. The thought alone terrifies the living hell out of me but I'm going to have to come to terms to it somehow even if I am in it alone.
Feeling suddenly incredibly hungry. I decide to leave my room to head for the school kitchens where I'm sure their will be food and I am right! And I help myself to a tub of ice cream, resting my back against the wall as I eat, dears dripping from my eyes lightly before turning into full blown sobs. However I am distracted by a flash of black and white before a woman comes racing in. She stops however at seeing me. "Are you alright?" The woman asks. She is an adult with short golden blonde hair. I nod rapidly. "Yes, I'm ok." I say through trembling lips. "You don't look alright, what's wrong?" She asks gently. "Stuff." I answer, taking another mouthful of ice cream. "Oh." The woman replies as if she knows exactly what's wrong with me. "Look my dog ran in here and I need to go and fetch her but if you ever need someone to talk to you can come to me. Here's my address." She pulls out a paper and pen, scribbling something down before passing it to me. "I don't even know you." I whisper. "We can get to know each other if you want. I've been there." She winks at me before racing off after her dog, which must has been what startled me earlier. I smile at the piece of paper before putting it in my pocket. Thinking that I may take that woman up on her offer.
Heading back to my dorm I am intercepted by Evie, who grabs my hand and drags me down the corridor. "E! Hold on! What's wrong?" I ask rapidly, she says nothing to me as she drags me outside to the school football grounds. "Evie?" I ask again to no answer. She drags me up to the stands, sitting me down. "Evie?" I ask once more, she is silent again yet tilts my head so I am facing ahead where, I believe the entire student body is standing. "What the…" I start as Ben walks through the middle of them. "I love you Mal, did I mention that?" He yells up to me. "Ben what are you…?" I start, yet just like when he was under the 'love cookie' he bursts into that blasted song, except this time accompanied by the entire school and when he's finished he races up to me and yells the complete unexpected. "Mal will you marry me?"
Authors Note: Hey guys I'm back! I would have uploaded this a week earlier but I had all this crappy coursework to catch up on as I only have one week after this before I go back to school and my life ends! I am so sorry for not updating, and I'll try to compose something for the next chapter soon. As to when I update, I update when I can and I'll try to update once a week at least! I haven't been in the fanfiction mood as of late but it's back for good now as I watched my favorite film about five times today and I wanted to write a piece on it but I decided to wait and finish this before I start any new projects but I'll probably write something for that as the ending has so many unanswered questions. Last but least thank you all so much for the reviews. Some literally had me crying with happiness and it is a few of them that convinced me to not give up on this story. I love you all and I'll try to update soon as, if you hadn't noticed I introduced a hopefully familiar Disney character I'd love to see who you think she is. Thank you all so much for reading, see you all next chapter xxxxx
