Mal POV

Sunlight rains down on me. I wake up in a comfortable position. I force my eyes open and see I'm in Bens bed with him. Oh no, did we have..? No, I'm fully dressed and so is Ben. Something plays with my hair. "Good morning, Princess." It's a warm and soft voice. Ben. I smile at him. How did I end up in his bed? If Belle or Beast find out, we'll be in a lot of trouble. He yawns and stretches. Can he be anymore cuter? Apparently so. He sits up and helps me do the same. I get my phone and type something to him.

Good morning, my prince.

It makes me happy that even though I'm not talking, I can communicate other ways. Ben gets out of bed and goes into the bathroom. I sit there on my phone. I notice the time is 8:00. I'm really hungry but I don't have the energy to eat anything. Ben comes out of the bathroom, in fresh clothes and kisses me. "Come on, lets get you breakfast." I groan at the mention of breakfast but nod anyway, knowing that I have to eat something. Ben scoops me up and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"I love you, Ben." I think. Hopefully I can say it to him once I've recovered from my shock that Hades actually tried to drown me. But for now, I'm happy typing whatever I want to say down. We are met with our friends and family all waiting for us in the dining room. "Mal!" Audrey exclaims, wearing a dazzling smile that goes with a dazzling smile. I wave. Ben chuckles so I kiss him. Ben responds quickly. We continue to kiss until someone clears their throat. We pull away but let our foreheads touch. "Ben, try not to swallow our sister, please." Jay says, coming up from behind Ben. I hit him gently. Jay glares at me and goes back to his seat. Ben carries me to chair but instead of putting me down, he sits down in my chair and keeps me on his lap. He feeds me a strawberry and strawberry juice trickles down his hand and I discreetly lick it off. He laughs and draws me closer. We watch our family and friends eat and laugh together. "I could get used to this." Ben whispers in my ear, making me shiver in delight. I could also get used to this.

Belle POV

I watch as Ben feeds Mal strawberries. It reminds me of what Beast did when we went on dates. I look at Beast but he's talking with Chad. He's not happy with me. I see Mal lick strawberry juice off of Bens hand. I choose not to say anything to her about it because Ben smiles at her. Breakfast is done in twenty minutes. "Guys, Dr. Nick will be calling at 11:45, so you can be excused until then but please meet-up in the living room at 11:30." The kids nod and leave. "Mal, lets watch The Vampire Diaries for the last time before you can walk!" Evie exclaims. Audrey agrees. "Noo!" Ben groans playfully. "Shut up, Beastie boy." Someone says. I'm positive that it was Mal. Beast chuckles softly but stops once he sees me looking at him. He starts walking out of the dining room into his study. "Beast, we have to talk." I call, pounding on his locked door. "Go away, Belle!" He shouts after I've pounded on the door for ten minutes. "Fine, I shout back and retreat into my library. I sit down on my favourite chair and pull out my phone and look at my photos. Half of them are of the kids: Evie, Audrey and Mal squealing at a shirtless vampire, Mal fast asleep on Evie. Audrey inhaling a chocolate bar. The boys practicing Tourney in the garden, Ben and Mal watching a romantic movie in the movie theatre. Beast asleep in my lap. Why is he so angry with me? I told him eventually. A knock comes at the door two hours later. "Belle?" It's Beast. I don't answer him. He knocks again. "Belle, open up, I know you're in there." I still ignore him. If he doesn't want to talk to me then I'm not talking to him. "BELLE!" Beast yells. It makes me jump. I get up and unlock my door and scurry to my chair and bury my head in a book. I feel a person in front of me. "Belle?" I ignore him until he literally takes the book out of my hands. "Hey!" I look up at him and see he's smiling. Does he think that taking my book is funny? "Belle, kiss me." I raise my eyebrows. Is he seriously asking me that, now? I shake my head and immediately regret it: he starts walking away. I get up and run in front of him and kiss him. He kisses me back and picks me up, I lock my legs around his waist and arms around his neck. He walks backwards to the couch and sits down on it, not letting me go. "I love you." He says against my lips. I giggle. "I love you too." I reply. We sit kissing until we hear a screech. "Gross!" A voice screeches, making Beast bite my lip. We pull away and whip our heads to the door: all the kids are standing there, mouths hanging open. I get off Beasts lap and walk to the kids, who are looking at us with wide eyes and mouths dropped. "Did you need anything?" Chad laughs that makes all the other kids follow. "It's almost 11:30 and we're the ones who are there!" Audrey says, giggling. I check my watch and see she's right. How has time gone so fast? "You and Dad were too busy trying to have sex in your library to notice the time." Ben says, rubbing his nose against Mal's. Mal giggles. "Ah, you like that, princess?" He coos. Mal nods and kisses him, a moan escaping her. He talks about me and Beast having sex when he's making-out with Mal. "Okay, okay you two, lets get to the living room before you swallow each other." Audrey says, holding her arms out. Ben reluctantly hands Mal to her. "Let's get to the living room and wait!" The kids run to the living room. Me and Beast follow but at a slower pace. We see the kids crowded around Mal. The living room has been rearranged: chairs and couches are pushed back and a dozen bean bags surround the living room. The monitor is on. At exactly 11:45, Nick pops up on the monitor: time for results. Mal is white, obviously worried.

Ben POV

Mal curls into the beanbag, as if it can swallow her. Dr. Nick is talking but none of us are paying attention to him, we're looking at Mal. "Anyway, time for the results," we all lean forward in our seats, eager for the results. I look at Mal and see Evie, Jay and Carlos sitting next to and behind Mal, in a supporting way.

"The results are:"
