*Mal's POV*

A couple of days had passed since I had left Ben and my life as his consort and fiancé behind for the time being and to be honest I still didn't know how to feel about it. I was currently spending most of my day in bed thinking about what would have been and crying. However I had come to the decision that I needed to start putting things into actions for me and my little one for the time being.

So with this thought in mind I decided that since I wasn't now using my phone I needed to get another one in case of emergencies; I also needed to get some more food shopping. However I had a plan to make sure that I wasn't found...

I used magic to change my appearance; instead of my bright purple locks I now had bright blond hair that trailed all the way down my back. I had also changed my nose slightly; and I changed my normally striking and bright green eyes to a dark chocolate brown. I had also changed my clothes and I made sure that I didn't wear anything green or purple - which was hard given that most of my clothes were in my colours. So I changed into a dark blue skirt; white vest and blue pumps; and I tied my hair up with a navy bobble.

So after I checked my appearance once more in the mirror I nodded to myself as I threw a navy bag over my right shoulder. I then teleported myself from my new home so I could venture into the world and get what me and my baby currently needed.

I was now packing away my food after a very successful shopping trip; and I glanced at what else I had bought – a new mobile phone and a couple of pregnancy books. First of all I bought the phone in case I needed it; as I knew if I currently turned my phone on it was going to go ballistic with texts, missed calls and voice mails. But I didn't want to completely close myself from the world; it felt too much like a risk to not have a back up plan in case I needed it. So I planned to put everyone's numbers in – just in case.

Also I didn't know how to feel buying pregnancy books; but as I was currently on my own with no one to ask questions about I thought it would be wise. So the three books that I had bought were called 'How to grow a baby and push it out', 'Happy Mum, Happy Baby' and 'Parenting the sh*t out of life – for people who happen to be parents (or might be soon)'. The books themselves looks very funny and informative and I couldn't wait to read them and learn everything that I needed to know about bringing my perfect little one into the world.

My mind then started to remind me about the health classes that I had in Auradon Prep; and I remember that a doctor and midwife is needed. I didn't want to be completely restless so I think it is probably for the best that I saw a doctor. However I didn't know how this would work; as surely Ben had the full kingdom looking for me. Yes I knew that I needed to be careful; but I knew that due to patient confidentiality they weren't allowed to tell Ben anything.

I didn't really want to make a fuss by getting any other doctor involved; so with this in mind I turned my phone on. Just as I thought my phone started to go ballistic but I ignored it and quickly opened my contacts and typed Doctor Cameron's number into my new phone.

"Hello " I heard Doctor Cameron say as he answered the phone.

"Hello Doctor Cameron" I replied as I turned my phone off to stop it going off every few seconds.

"Lady Mal?" he questioned in confusion.

"Are you in your office?" I enquired.

"Where are you? His Majesty is looking for you" he advised and my mind started to spitefully show me Ben and my family looking around the Kingdom for me.

"Are you alone?" I answered not answering his question. Yes I needed Doctor Cameron's help; but I was only going to give him the information that I believed that he needed to know.

"Yes" he confirmed. "I'm alone in my office" he added.

"Good" I answered. "I am aware that Ben is looking for me" I clarified. "But I don't want you to tell him that you've spoken to me" I offered; hoping that he would do as I asked. "Please?" I begged. "I need your help" I advised and we fell into an awkward silence which told me he was thinking about what I was asking him.

"Ok" he finally answered. "What do you need me to?" he questioned and I nodded at this. Things were starting to come together; which was starting to make me feel better about the situation - ever so slightly.
