WanderlustandFreedom
It'll Be Us
A newer story I absolutely love, amazingly written and honestly my favorite story as of right now. I love all the Bal moments and all the Evie and Mal (best friend) moments. It's good and I recommend!
The Princess of Auradon is really good as well!
It's by Chucky Ray.
Someone sent me a message and they asked if Ben knew that they were twins.
He thinks he has 1 kid, he has no clue that he has 2 kids. Mal didn't even know until she had Aria. In case you're wondering, Mal was almost 3 months when they like announced and found out and never had an ultrasound.
Mal also is unaware that her best friend, Evie, is expecting and that her son, Halan, is going to be the king.
Anyway on with the story!
Mal sat holding her babies, Rylan and Aria. Aria was a complete surprise, and honestly Mal was excited to have a daughter. She was excited to have a son too, but every time she looked at Rylan she saw Ben. She cried when she saw him. She misses Ben so much. Ben promised her that he would be by her side and not that it was his fault, but the promise was broken.
This was part of the nine thirty minute intervals she gets with her kids a day. Every day her mom would wake up and take them to her so she could feed them then take them away. Then every once and a while being them back to be fed and some time to get used to Mal, so they didn't think Maleficent was their mom. Mal hated this. Her mother was going to try and make the twins evil.
She wondered who the heir would be if she never got to return, would Ben remarry? Would Audrey and Chad have a kid who would be the heir. She looked at Rylan and thought about how he was the rightful heir of Auradon. She looked to Aria, a princess of Auradon, who was stuck on the Isle. That was no place for a princess or a prince for that matter.
She decided to study her children since she hardly got to see them.
Rylan was like a baby version of Ben, he had his nose, his soft blue eyes, sandy blonde hair and his sensitive sweet smile. He was going to be a heartbreaker for sure. She looked at him and saw her husband, she knew that as Rylan grew, he would begin to look more and more like Ben. The heir of Auradon who hasn't even been coronated as the prince.
Aria was like a baby version of her, she had her eye shape, her bright green eyes, even though babies eyes are typically blue, they were bright green. The only way she didn't look like Mal was that she had bright blonde hair, like Mal when she dyed it for her senior year. Mal laughed at the fact that her daughter got bright blonde hair that she had once wanted to bad. She kinda hoped that she never got rid of it because if Aria ever got the chance to go to Auradon they'd pick her out like a sore thumb, as her daughter.
She watched them softly fall asleep sitting in front of her on her bed in her room. She saw them as the royals they were. They were wrapped softly in some of Mal's old and only baby blankets. Both of them wrapped in bright purple and green respectively. She wondered if she could somehow go to the old hideout and grab some of Evie's clothes that she made when she lived on the Isle for her future kids. They were designed after her friends, bright purple and blue for her future daughters and red, white, and yellow for her future sons. It was funny because when they got taken to Auradon, she didn't take any of it because there was already baby clothes in Auradon. She knew she had at least clothes for the first 12 years of life because Evie really liked planning ahead.
She watched the twins sleep peacefully, which was a rare sight since her mother scream so much. Right when Mal finished that thought, speak of the devil, her mother came in the room.
"Oh Mal!" she began, "I have a special treat for you! Now that the guards have stopped searching the Isle everyday for you, you can leave your room! And occasionally the house!"
Mal perked up at that, if she could leave the house then she could find someone anyone to get her to a guard, or hide her somewhere to get her back to Auradon.

Meanwhile, in Auradon.
Ben was sitting in his office, it had been a month since they searched for Mal, and they had decided to stop searching the Isle. He wanted to meet his child, he wanted to tell Mal how strong she was for bringing a child, his child into the world. While he was imagining if he had a son or daughter, his parents walked into his office.
"Son, we need to ask you a few questions." Began her mother with a concerned expression, as the days went on she longed to meet her grandchild, and the more concerned she became about Ben. He sat for hours in his office. Ben looked to his mother and father and they looked down back at him with worry evident in their expressions.
"First off, we need to know if you are going to remarry." Asked his father. Ben shot up from his seat and pointed at his father.
"No, Mal is the only girl I love and until I find her I will only love her and even when I do find her I will love her."
His parents just nodded and then looked down.
"The next question we have for you is, who will be the heir if you can't find Mal and your child by the time they are sixteen?" his mother asked this time and he answered truthfully.
"Evie and Doug's son. Evie is Mal's best friend, and the Ambassador to the Isle. It only seems right."
His parents nodded to that question as Ben's phone rang. His personal phone only rang if it was an emergency or one of his close friends so he answered immediately.
"Yeah, Oh dang, Yes, Okay, I'll bring it, call me when you're ready, see you soon, good luck." Ben hung the phone up and put it into his pocket as his parents looked at him quizzingly.
"Speaking of which, that was Doug. The baby is coming early and Evie is freaking out, because she is a month early, she is in labor, and in pain, and Doug said the baby is breech and if they cannot turn him, then Evie will have to have a C-section, and Evie has never had surgery in her entire life. I could hear her crying in the background." Said Ben looking at his parents. His parents covered their mouths and looked into their son.
"I do not know why she is crying though, she gets to have her baby in a hospital with pain relief, and her husband at her side, Mal was stuck alone, probably, and had to do it. The guards said that she screamed out in anguish." Said Ben angrily, the madness in his voice becoming more evident as the sentence flowed.
"Ben, listen, Mal is strong and you need to be happy for Evie." said his mother with caring eyes. "You both are going to be parents at the same time."
"Yeah but I will never get to even see my kid."
"Oh wow, um, final question," her mother started. "We want to make a birth announcement for your child so do you have a birthdate and the two names you picked out?" asked her mother, wincing because she knew it was a sensitive subject. She deeply wanted to meet her grandchild and at least know their possible name.
"May 12th. They were born on May 12th." The guards called saying that they heard her, but couldn't find her. I can only assume." said Ben gazing into the distance, not really connecting with the conversation.
"And the names?" asked his parents.
"Rylan Liam, and Aria Rose." said Ben. Looking to the ground. Rylan, because Mal always said she liked "R" names, and Liam, because she stole it from Evie. She recommended it. Aria, because it is a type of song, sung in an opera, and my first big thing to Mal was flashmob her, and sing. Rose, well that should be obvious. You guys are her grandparents."
At that, Ben's mother stepped forward and grabbed her son's lower arm, causing him to look at her.
"I love them."

At the hospital….
Evie paced around the room in a deep panic, and Doug was just trying to keep her calm. Evie walked back and forth across her hospital room. In the center of her room was abed, where she was supposed to be laying down and relaxing, which she was not. There was a chair on the right of the bed where Doug was sitting and trying to not fall asleep, but he was talking to Evie. On the left side of the bed there was a machine measuring all of her contractions, that she was supposed to be hooked up to but she was pacing. In the left back corner of the room was a place for the baby to be evaluated, and Evie couldn't even look at it without freaking out that her baby would fail his evaluation.Lastly, at the foot of the bed was an IV drip that Evie would have to be hooked up to when the doctor came back in.
"He's coming a month early Doug, he could have a whole bunch of problems." started Evie, this was the first time he had said that without crying, and honestly Doug was so tired most of his responses were automated.
"Evie, he is going to be fine." said Doug for the hundredth time, slumped over in his chair.
"He's the future King, Doug. He needs to be healthy." said Evie as she began to cry again. Before she could say anything else be doubled over in pain and wrapped her arms around her bump.
"They're going to make him healthy." said Doug standing up to hold her hand.She took it gracefully and began to do her breathing. "Think about Mal-" began Doug before Evie cut him off. "Yes, while I am in horrible pain, let me think of my best friend who went missing, great idea." Said Evie as her pain ended and she began to pace again.
Doug sighed and then started again. He sat back down in his chair.
"Think about Mal and how she did it all alone and how strong she is, you have all this amazing aids on your immediate hands and you are going to rock this." said Doug lovingly as he stood up and offered his chair to Evie, who take it graciously and sat down with lots of help from Doug.
Evie was now sitting which was a lot nicer than standing up. She tried not to think about how Halan (A/N right here, Halan is her son, pronounced Hey-Lin.) was still breech and how she could still have surgery today. Doug held her hand and wiped away her tears of fear and would squeeze her hand whenever the pain started in a pattern of three, meaning 'I Love You' in morse code. She had just finished the worst pain yet when the doctor walked in and looked at the couple, Evie sitting in the chair, not attached to any of the stuff she was supposed to be, and Doug crouching on the floor in front of her. The doctor took a deep breath.
"Mrs. Dwarfson, we are going to do an ultrasound and if the baby is still breech then we are going to do a C-section, okay?"
Evie looked to Doug, almost scared to respond even though she was the final decision. Doug nodded and she looked back over to the doctor and nodded
"Ok, Marissa bring it in."
Behind the doctor a young tech came in with an ultrasound machine and hooked it up next to the bed. They looked at Evie gingerly and then eyed the bed. Evie gulped and then looked to Doug who stood up and took her hand to help her up and then helped her get comfortable.
The technician unbuttoned the buttons around Evie's baby bump and smiled at her. Evie smiles back and the tech grabbed some gel and began to spread it across her bump. Evie shuddered at the cold and reached out to hold Doug's hand. Her breathing was slow and she was trying to not show how nervous she was. The tech turned on the machine and grabbed the probe and put it to Evie's stomach. The screen lit up and they saw the baby that they had seen so many times before and were going to meet today. The baby was turned funny and immediately Evie knew it wasn't going to be good news.
After staring at the screen for a couple moments, the doctor came over the tech's shoulders and confirmed what Evie had thought.
"Your baby is breech, we could attempt to turn, but would feel safer with Cesarean. It's up to you, Mrs. Dwarfson." The doctor looked to Evie who looked to Doug who squeezed her hand and nodded, before saying.
"It's safer and yes scarier, but what would Mal say?"
Even laughed remembering what her friend would say "Just go for it, as long as I don't die."
She turned to the doctor and repeated the sentence to the doctor.
"Well, we will get you prepped then head down."
Evie looked at Doug who offered his hands to help her get up after the gel was wiped off and re-buttoned her gown. She stood up and had pain suddenly and Doug continued to hold her hand and breathe with her. Then leaned in and whispered into her ear
"We're gonna meet him, and you have nothing to worry about." Evie smiled at him right before the doctor rolled another bed in and scrubs for Doug.
"Here we go." she said as she turned to Doug.
6 Hours Later….
The surgery was a success and on June 14th at 10:46 a.m., Halan James Dwarfson was brought into this world with dark brown hair, and light brown eyes. He looked like Evie more than Doug without the blue hair. Evie had been moved back into her room and had fed Halan twice and she was so immensely happy. She couldn't move much, but she could hold Halan and she had been doing that quite a bit. It was now 4:45 and they we're waiting for en to show up to meet the future king, as much as circumstances permitted.
"Eves?' asked Doug looking at her hold their son with complete awe in her eyes.
"Yes Doug?" responded not even looking at him.
"I know he isn't technically a prince, but since he is most likely going to be King, could you and me just tell him and treat him like he is a prince?" Doug only asked because he knew Evie had always wanted a prince and while she had never married one, they could pretend that Halan was an honorary prince.
"I'd love that Doug," she looked to Doug and then back to Halan. "Our little prince." she said as she held Halan slightly higher. As she did so there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" yelled Doug to the door.
The door opened slowly an in walked Ben holding a small yellow gift bag with him.
"Hey guys." said Ben softly looking to Doug, then to Evie and then finally Halan resting in Evie's arms. "Is that him" asked Ben. "Well, it would be weird if it wasn't." after he said that everyone laughed.
"Ow" said Evie wincing at her stitches.
"I thought I would bring you a little something." said Ben handing Doug the little yellow bag. "Also sorry for making you laugh Evie."
Evie rolled her eyes and mouthed "It's okay" to him and Ben smiled a little bit.
Doug pulled out a small onesie with the words
"Little Prince"
Across the chest.
"Let me see!" demanded Evie from her bed. Doug turned it around and Evie smiled tenderly.
"We were just talking about calling him a prince actually." said Evie admiring the onesie.
Ben laughed at that. Of course they had talked about that.
Evie looked at Halan and then realized that she and Doug we're the only ones who had held him so far.
"Do you want to hold him Ben?" asked Evie gently offering him out to Ben. Ben smiled softly and walked over and took Halan out of his mother's arms.
He could see Evie, parts of Doug, but almost all Evie. He smelled wonderful and as he held him he started to tear up at the fact that somewhere out there, he had a child, that was a month old at this point. He let the tears flow as he stared at this perfect child that Evie had distressfully brought into the world.
"Aw Ben, you're going to make me cry!" exclaimed Evie.
At that Ben handed Halan back to his mother and then winked at Evie.
"Good job Evie." said Ben suddenly remembered that he had something else to give them. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a birth announcement that his parents had made for his child. It read
The King and Queen of Auradon, Ben and Mal, are pleased to announce that they have a child
Rylan Liam and/or Aria Rose
We love you, wherever you may be.
He pulled one out and handed it to Evie who read it and then looked to Ben with a sad smile.
"Well before I go, I would just like you guys to know that VK day has been stopped for the next five yers and then we will be taking two kids every year from there and testing them and all that, hoping to find them."
Evie and Doug nodded and Ben said goodbye and then started walking to the door before Evie stopped him.
"Ben wait!" I have a question about the Isle."
"Yes Evie?"
"I made some clothes for my future kids when I lived there and I was wondering if maybe just perhaps I could be accompanied there and get them when i am better?" asked Evie hoping Ben would say yes.
"Well, yes I will arrange for that to be done in eight weeks. I will let you be. Bye guys." said Ben as he closed the door.
8 Weeks Later
Evie had fully recovered and was set to go to the Isle hideout and get the clothes she had made for her future kids, with the guards to accompany her, and Doug staying home with Halan.
Mal was going to go out today. She was determined. She had found some clothes for the twins to wear but they we're not the greatest and she still had not gone to the hideout. Today was the day, she was going to leave the twins with her mother when she went.
Early in the morning she headed off in the direction of the hideout looking up for the flying rocks sign. She had to make several dodges of guards, even though with the curse if they got anywhere close to her she'd go invisible, and couldn't speak. She was curious as to why there were guards on the Isle that day but eventually made it to the sign and picked up a rock and gave it a hard throw, the sign flew backwards and she began the climb up the stairs.
She climbed the stairs and eventually saw the hideout for the first time in years. There were signs of "Long Live Evil" all over the walls as well as pictures of her and her friends that she had spray painted. She missed seeing their faces everyday, she missed their conversations. But she had a job, and she had to get back before her mother did something to the twins, so she headed to Evie's room. Once she got in there, she was blinded by blue, she had forgotten just how much blue was in Evie's room.
She walked over to the drawer where she kept all of her future stuff. She pulled the backpack off of her back and then grabbed every single piece of clothing in the drawers. Bright reds, purples, blues, pinks and yellows as well as other colors. She had decided what she would put the twins in when she got back and then decided to check out her old room and see if there was anything in there.
When she entered her room, the last thing she expected to hear was a guards voice saying
"I see the sign, and it's bent back."
She immediately panicked, she jumped onto her bed and hid under the covers. That's when she heard footsteps and a voice she hadn't heard in months.
Evie's
She stood up and walked to the edge of her and Evie's old shared door, knowing that if Evie was with the guards then she would be invisible. She watched as Evie came into her room and looked at the walls, looking at all of the blue.
"Wow, I really liked Blue." laughed Evie, causing the guards to laugh as well.
"Let me just check this drawer.." said evie bending down to check the drawers the Mal had just raided.
Why was Evie looking for her old clothes?
As Evie looked into the drawers she noticed that everything was gone, and suddenly she felt bad but then remembered that Evie lived in Auradon and if she needed clothes she could make more or buy some.
"They're all gone!" exclaimed Evie with a concerned expression. "Well that makes today just so great." said Evie sarcastically. She closed the drawer and looked into the open door between her and Mal's room. Mal saw Evie coming into the room and moved to the side, the guards followed her. Evie gasped as she noticed the stuff that was gone from Mal's old room.
"Mal's old stuff is gone too," said Evie, very disappointed. "We will have to head back, I will just make some new stuff." Evie started to walk out of the room and Mal followed. She reached out and touched her shoulder. Evie immediately turned around, but didn't gasp. She just asked
"Who touched my shoulder?"
The guards looked at each other before answering
"No one Mrs. Evie."
Evie shrugged it off and then continued to leave, but Mal mouthed as she left.
"I miss and love you, E."
Mal decided that it was time to leave and made her way back home, happy to see the twins. However, seeing Evie would keep her going for a while.
Holy crap, this was so hard to write, but I did it! The next chapter will skip 12 years! So Halan, Aria and Rylan will all be 12.It will be September, 12 years later. Should be up by Friday.
