Ben was then taken to the fracture and cast room in a wheelchair; I went to go and sit in the recliner but Ben said that he wanted me to come with him. I asked whether this was ok; and the member of staff (who had now introduced herself as Chloe) said that this was perfectly fine. I found this a great relief; as I didn't want to let Ben out of my sight. I didn't know whether this was down to my recent changing into a dragon but I felt an even greater drive to protect Ben than before. Of course I was going to be driven to keep Ben always in my sight given the situation that we both had just been through; I just felt the fire within me that felt like it was going to explode if I couldn't see Ben at any given moment.

Thankfully my train of thought was broken as Chloe was starting to push Ben from the room; Ben threw me a reassuring smile as he reached his right hand out to me. I then smiled as I took his hand; and we started to leave the room together. As we were just about to leave the room Adam and Belle advised that they would pack everything together; so it meant that if Ben could go home it would save us some time. I felt butterflies start to flutter in my stomach at this; and I wished for nothing more for that to come true!


When we got into the private seclusion of the fracture and cast room I had to reign myself in once more; as soon as I saw Chloe going close to Ben with the cast saw I was shocked when I heard the dragon part of me start to growl. I pushed this away with great difficulty and when my eyes locked onto Ben's I watched him pull a brown up in confusion at me. I shook my head at him; and I smiled at him. This wasn't the time nor the place to tell him about my transformation; right now was just for getting Ben out of his casts - something we were both very much very happy about.


When Ben was wheeled back into the room we were met with Doctor Cameron speaking to Adam and Belle; Ben asked could he go home now and Doctor Cameron said not quite. He wanted to see how Ben's observations were doing; he also wanted to see how his mobility was - which was something that suddenly made me nervous. Yes the magical bond between the pair of us was healing him very quickly; but I couldn't bear it if he just stood up and fell.

Ben, on the other hand, eagerly stood up and he stumbled forward. Thankfully I quickly stopped him before he fell forward; he smiled at me before he took to his feet once more. When he was stood up straight he grinned down at me; I then pulled one brow up nervously as I looked up at him and he winked at me. He then stepped forward confidently towards me and he wrapped his arms around me; I was just about to hug him but quickly stopped as he picked me up and he quickly span me around. I heard Adam, Belle, Doctor Cameron and Chloe all laugh at my screams before he rested me safely back onto the grounds.

"Someone seems better" I teased as Ben wrapped his arms around my waist.

"It would appear so" he smiled down at me as I rested my hands against his strong and broad chest. "I love you so much my beautiful wife" he added fondly as he brushed his nose against mine.

"I love you too my beautiful husband" I returned; and before I knew it his lips were against mine for a few seconds as we shared a brief but loving kiss to celebrate his quick recovery.


After Doctor Cameron quickly announcing that Ben's blood pressure and pulse were within the benchmark; he then said that Ben was safe to go home but he stated that he wanted to see him again in another days. So after Ben had arranged an appointment with Doctor Cameron we then collected all of our things together so we could leave; when we made sure that we had everything we then waited for Dawson to ring Ben to tell him when to come around the back of the hospital so we weren't going to be seen by the press.

Me, Adam and Belle then all waited patiently while Ben had a quick shower and changed into some lazy clothes; we chatted aimlessly as we waited for him. When we heard the wet room door open I couldn't help but grin at the sight of Ben; he was currently wearing a bagging white t-shirt with light grey jogger bottoms and on his feet were a pair of white trainers. His hair was still wet from the shower; and I had to suppress the moan that was trying to build up in my throat. Lucifer he was so sexy!

We then heard Ben's phone go off ten minutes later and Ben then told us that Dawson was ready for us in an unmarked car. So with this being said I let Ben slid his right hand into my left and we all walked out of his side room so we could get home and behind the privacy that was waiting for us behind closed doors.


Doctor Cameron showed us to one of the back entrances where Dawson was currently waiting for us in a large black hummer with black tinted windows. I watched as Dawson quickly stepped out of the car and walked towards us; and as I did this I looked around the alley to see that thankfully there was no press in sight.

Dawson quickly opened the boot of the car; before opening the back seats and stepped towards us. I offered to put my bag in the car but he gracefully took my bag from me; just like he did with Ben and he went to go and put our bags in the boot of the car. Me, Ben and Belle call climbed into the back of the car and put on our seatbelts on as Adam sat on the front driver seat. As I heard Ben close the door behind us I noted that Dawson was climbing back into his seat and putting his seat belt on.

"Let's go home my love" Ben said lovingly as he wrapped his left arm around my shoulders.

"Let's" I repeated as I snuggled into his chest as the car took off; with us all very happy at that fact that we were finally getting to go home. When we drove out into the open I looked towards the front of the hospital to see the press waiting patiently for some news on me or Ben; however thankfully we were able to drive out of the hospital grounds without anyone noticing.


When we walked into Auradon Castle I was confused when I realised that Ben was leading me towards his office - surely he didn't think that he had to return back to work straight away? I thought that I was going to be able to have a few days with him, especially as I now wasn't working at the art gallery. I smiled to myself as I started to remember that Judith rang me during the week when Ben was unconscious and I told her that I couldn't come back. She didn't asked much about it; but she understood and told me that it was ok to cut my notice short - which helped take some of the stress out of the situation.

When we walked into his office I fell even further into confusion when I noticed that Fairy Godmother was waiting for us. When I asked Ben what was happening he said that he had text Fairy Godmother to come and see us so we could sign our marriage certificate. I stressed that this could have waited but Ben told me that he didn't want to. I decided not to give him any hassle on this - he was obviously excited being newly married, just like me!

It only took us a couple of minutes to sign our marriage certificate in front of Adam, Belle and Fairy Godmother; however no matter how long it took it still felt quite profound. Even though I knew I was married to Ben by our wedding ceremony; this made it felt more real - and this was something that I started to feel overwhelmed by. Ben was my husband! He was mine! All mine; and nothing or no one was ever going to try and take him away from me again.


When Fairy Godmother left Belle then asked what we wanted to do this evening; me and Ben both looked at each other and I could tell by the look in Ben's eyes he wanted some time alone with me. I knew he wasn't meaning sex; he just wanted to be on his own with me - as we hadn't really been on our own in hospital.

"I was actually hoping-" Ben began.

"Yes son?" Adam replied.

"That me and Mal have the evening to ourselves" Ben told his parents.

"If that is ok" I interjected.

"Of course it is" Belle answered.

"We guessed you might have wanted to" Adam added. "Given what you both have been through" he smiled.

"Yes" Me and Ben said together; and we looked at each other and smiled at how in sync we were with each other.

"Let's go husband" I smiled.

"Of course wife" he answered lovingly as he offered me his right hand; I then slid my left hand into it.

"Night" we both said together.

"Goodnight" Adam and Belle responded; me and Ben then walked out of his office, with us both very eager to spend our first night alone as a newly married couple.
