Hey guys, thank you again for coming on this journey with me. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
Weeks and months started to fly past and before I knew it I was seven months pregnant and things were tiring me out quicker. I also came to quickly agree with Belle and the other Queens that each pregnancy was different as I was sicklier this time around; so this meant more bedrest for me. At first I hated it but now I was glad for the rest.
Also when we had our last family meal Evie and Doug announced that they were also having a daughter. I couldn't wait for the princess and Evie and Doug's daughter to grow up together – Ben even teased me and stated that they were going to be like a mini me and Evie. Which I could very see happening; however I knew they were probably going to give me and Evie a run for our money when they are older.
"Mammy" I heard Edward say as he walked past my bedroom doorway one evening.
"Edward" I mumbled.
"Why are you in bed?" he asked as he walked up to me; I noticed that he had his pyjamas on so Ben or his parents must have got him ready for bed.
"I don't feel very well" I groaned as my stomach started to burn again.
"Should I get Daddy?" he quickly asked.
"No" I answered weakly.
"Please don't" I begged.
"He knows I'm unwell baby" I stressed. Ben was already worried about me without Edward and Beast running off to get him. I knew that Ben was just finishing some paperwork then he was coming to bed himself – after putting Edward and Beast to bed.
"Come and give Mammy a cuddle" I smiled as I threw my bed covers back.
"That will make me feel better" I added, and I watched as a smile spread across his face before he climbed onto my bed. I then watched as Beast jumped up as well and a grin spread across my face.
"Hello to you too" I said as Edward slid in next to me.
"He's such a good boy" Edward stated as Beast snuggled tightly into a ball and started to fall asleep.
"He is" I yawned.
"You look really tired" Edward noted.
"That is because I am" I confirmed.
"Should we go to sleep now?" he asked.
"That would be nice" I yawned again as Edward pulled the covers back and snuggled into my stomach.
"Night Night Isabelle" he said lovingly before he pressed a kiss to my stomach. I felt Isabelle wriggle at this and Edward beamed up at me.
"She said it back" he grinned.
"Yes she did" I smiled as he snuggled back into my stomach. I reached over carefully and picked my phone up and quickly took a photo of Edward snuggling into my stomach. I smiled at it and quickly sent it to Ben with the caption 'hurry back, we miss you'. I then rested my phone back down and pulled Edward closer to me.
"Come on little Beastie get a cuddle" I said and Edward grinned as he slid up the bed slightly and we all snuggled together until we all fell into a peaceful slumber.
*Ben's POV*
As I finished signing some paperwork in my office I heard my phone go off and I smiled when I looked and saw it was Mal. I quickly picked my phone up and opened it to see that Mal had sent me a photo of Edward snuggling into her stomach. I let a warm smile spread across my face; I couldn't believe that I had the family that I have. All my life all I wanted was to find someone who wanted to be with me for me; not for the fact that I had the crown of Auradon on my head. Mal gave me everything that I have ever wanted or needed; and I could never thank her enough.
I quickly packed my things together, locked my office and started to make my way to our private quarters in Auradon Castle. I didn't really like to leave Mal for very long when she was unwell; she told me that I didn't need to worry but this was easier said than done. Due to Mal being part faery she didn't get unwell like the normal mortal; if she was bad it was to the extremes and I hated leaving her side.
As I entered our bedroom I stopped in my tracks at the view before me – my perfect family. I knew that I probably should take Edward and Beast to their own beds, but I didn't have the heart to unsettle them all. It looks like Mal had finally managed to get some rest and all I wanted to do was to snuggled into my perfect Queen. So I quickly went to the bathroom and got ready for bed; all the way through imagining the fact that in two month's time our princess would be with us. I loved the fact that they were going to look exactly like Mal; I pushed away what Carlos said when we told them that Mal was pregnant; I had years before I had to worry about Isabelle dating.
I then quickly changed into my dark blue sleep shorts, before I pulled the covers back carefully from behind Mal. I normally would sleep on the other side of the bed, but it was currently taken by Edward and Beast, but I didn't mind at all. I carefully slid in behind Mal and cuddled into her and I watched them all sleep before I slipped into a peaceful slumber myself – very thankful for the family that I have.
