*That Night*

After me and Ben made out we cuddled together and chatted aimlessly until we both fell asleep in each other's arms. Thankfully before I fell asleep I was able to set an alarm on my phone to wake me up; but I had knocked it onto vibrate so it wouldn't disturb my sleeping Beast.

When I heard the alarm go off I then slowly and carefully untangled myself from Ben so I could turn the alarm off. Thereafter I glanced down and smiled as I heard Ben growling in his sleep peacefully next to me, part of me didn't want to leave him - but I knew that it is what is for the best for our baby.

After magically and thankfully quietly packing everything I then wrote Ben a letter; all the way through writing the letter I poured my heart and soul into it. I told him how this situation was making me feel; however after I re-read the letter and I started to feel guilty that I had left my pregnancy out of the letter. But he deserved better than finding out about me being pregnant like this; he needed to be told face to face. So with this in mind I made myself a promise that I would find a way to tell him soon - hopefully when the time came to it he would want to talk to me, but I would understand if he didn't - as I am about to really hurt him. Something I had promised that I would never do!

When I finished the letter I folded it and placed it on my pillow; I then took off my engagement, promise and Ben's signet ring and placed it on top of the letter. Seeing them lie on the letter like that made it seem so final; but right now I had to do what was best for our baby.

I watched Ben sleep for a little while before I turned away from him, picked up my bags and walked onto the balcony; I had a rough idea where to go - I just hoped it was safe enough. So with this in mind I teleported to the cottage in the middle of the forest on the grounds of Auradon Castle.

I landed harshly on the ground with a thump and when my eyes landed on the beautiful large cottage home I smiled. The last time that I had been here was just a couple of weeks before our engagement party. It felt like a lifetime away. So much had changed since then and I could only hope that even though the odds were currently against us I still hoped that we could be together some time in the future.

I then broke out of my train of thought my eyes then landed on my new home once more and I smiled again. There were two sets of French doors that opened onto a large fully enclosed garden, which also had a sheltered sunny patio. There was a white picket fence that was around the cottage and the rose garden and pond. Inside the three storey cottage it has an open fire with stone surround, beautiful solid oak floors and hand crafted oak doors when I felt really gave it a homely feel. Finally on the roof there were dark brown titles and a chimney sticking up and the window and doors were made up of a lovely sandy oak wood.

I then quickly enchanted the area so no one could see or hear any noises coming from the cottage. I knew that when Ben knew about me leaving He would search the Kingdom for me. Yes using magic was probably cheating and I also knew that Fairy Godmother would probably be keeping an eye out for any magic being used. So with this thought in mind I quickly used another spell to hide the trace of my magic so I couldn't be discovered.

When I walked into the cottage I quickly closed the door and used magic to lock it; I placed my bags onto the floor and quickly turned the alarm off. If I let the alarm go off then security would come looking and it would arouse suspicion if they couldn't find the cottage.

After the alarm was disabled I then went to pick up my bags but I froze when my eyes landed on a photo of Ben and his family. I kept a sudden wave of overwhelming feelings which caused me to slowly drop down onto my knees as tears started to flow down my cheeks.

I hated what I had just done. I was actually debating about going back before Ben wakes up. but what was keeping me where I was was the continuing panic about what could happen to mine and Ben's baby. I couldn't bear the thought of them getting hurt in anyway; I was in so much love with them already I didn't want anything to happen to them.

I pushed away the hurt and pain that I was about to inflict on Ben - I just hoped that someday he could forgive me.
