Here is the next chapter in the story guys :-) I have divided it into two or else I wouldn't be able to post yet. The next part will be out within the next 14 days.
I do not own Descendants and its characters.
Next day
Ben's point of view
I woke up feeling better than I have in a long time. I look next to me and see Mal sleeping peacefully; I kiss her hair. How did I get so lucky to find such an amazing woman? I mean my dad kind of cannot be against our relationship now as she is the heir to the throne in the Moors, which means she is a princess and they always told me how as a prince the best thing I could do was find a princess and not a peasant; which is kind of ironic as my mom was a peasant.
I carefully get up while doing my best not to wake up my sweet girl. When I am out of bed I move to my closet and finds some clothes for the day. I then walk to the bathroom and turns on the shower; I remove my boxers and get under the water and just let it run down my body. Suddenly I feel arms wrap around me from behind, I look over my shoulder and sees Mal. "good morning sweet girl" She lays her head between my shoulder and I feel her take a deep breath
"Good morning beastie." I turn around in her arms and look at her "You were gone when I woke up. At first I thought that it had all been a dream, but then I saw the room and knew that it was all real" She lays her head on my chest, I kiss her hair
"Mal, I promise that we will talk about everything okay?" she nods. I wrap my arms around her shoulders and hold her close. I have missed having her in my arms so much; she just fits in them perfectly. "Now why don't we shower and then go down for breakfast?" She stays quiet and doesn't move her arms from around me, I sigh and pull her with me under the water. "I will not let anything happen to you ever Mal." I kiss her hair then grab my shampoo and start washing her hair. "I haven't noticed the blue strips in you hair before Mal, they actually look pretty good with the purple" I rinse her hair, then looks at her "now sweet girl, I have to wash my own hair, so I need you to let go of me" She looks at me and let go then takes the shampoo from me.
"Lean forward beastie, you are too tall" I kiss her hair then move to my knees instead of bending down, I look up at her and see her smiling at me.
"I'm all yours my dear" I see her smile and lean down towards me. Her lips touch mine and I kiss her. She pulls back and starts washing my hair and I close my eyes. She starts massaging my scalp and it feels so great. There is no doubt in my mind that she loves me, as she came back because I was unconscious while she was awake; even though she knew it could cost her her life or she could be send to prison. I feel her fingers moving away from my scalp then water running through my hair. I feel her lips touching my forehead; I open my eyes and looks up at her. "I love you Mal, my dragon fairy" I hug her around her waist and lay my head on her stomach
"I love you too beastie, so much." I feel her fingers run through my hair. I kiss her stomach and look up at her
"So, there is a pretty good chance that there is a mini you in here right now?" She nods, I can see in her eyes that she is worried "we'll get through this together Mal, I promise" I move back a little and look at her stomach, I notice a small bump on her stomach "Mal?"
"Yes Ben?" I look up at her
"How does it work when a dragon is pregnant?" she takes my hands and helps me stand.
"I don't know Ben, but I know someone who does" she walks out of the shower and wraps a towel around herself; I follow her quickly and walk with her into my bedroom. I walk to my closet and put on some boxers; I get out some slacks and a t-shirt and walk to my bed. I lay the clothes on the bed and looks at Mal, I see her smile "it is a very relaxed outfit, not very king-like" I smile and shakes my head
"Do you need to borrow some clothes?" She shakes her head
"No, I'm good" she looks at the towel "wet towel be no more, turn into a dress representing the Moors" I watch as the towel turns into a loose fitted purple knee-length dress, that hides the small bump on her stomach; I smile and put on my own clothes.
"You look beautiful Mal" I see her blush; I laugh a little and walk to her. "You really do" I kiss her cheek "lets go find the person that knows about dragon pregnancies" She nods; I take her hand and we leave my room.
Mal's point of view
Ben and I walk towards the dining room when we hear yelling coming from it, we look at each other and runs to it. When we get to the door Ben opens it and walks in, I follow behind him and looks around the room, that is when I notice Rick and Adam standing very close to each other; both red in their face.
"Uncle Rick?" He turns away from Adam and walks to me; he pulls me into a hug and holds me close. "What is going on?" I look up at him
"Nothing for you to worry about Mal" He kisses my head and looks at someone behind me; I turn my head and see Belle and Mira walking towards us. "Mal is there something you want to ask me? I can feel that you are worried about something." I look at Ben and see him nod telling me to go on and ask Rick.
"You told me dragons only need one time to become pregnant. How does a dragon pregnancy work exactly?" I look up at Rick and see him looking behind me again.
"When a dragon becomes pregnant it is a fairly short experience compared to a human pregnancy" He leads me to the table and makes me sit in a chair "A dragon pregnancy only takes 4 months; compared to humans it is not a long time" Ben sits next to me and looks at Rick
"Is that why she already has a small bump?" I look at him shocked
"What?"
"I noticed it when we were in the shower Mal; it is why I asked you about it" He place his hand on my stomach and smiles "Right in there, there is a mini you or me" I keep looking at him; he kisses my cheek and I smile a little.
"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS" I jump a little and look at Adam "THIS IS NOT HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE" He sits down and put his face in his hands. "The other kingdoms will never allow this"
"What do you mean they will not allow this?" I look at him then at Belle and see him looking worried. Adam raises his face from his hands.
"When we became the king and queen of Auradon an agreement where made that the future king or queen could not have a child out of wedlock" He looks at Belle " We all agreed on it back then to make sure our children wouldn't sleep with the first person they thought they were in love with or just a person who would use their title for the wrong thing" I look at Ben then at Adam
"What would happen if someone did get pregnant out of wedlock?" For the first time today Adam look me in the eyes and I see a small smile on his lips
"Well they would have to prove that they were actually in love" I fell someone take my hand and look at Ben who is smiling "The entire kingdom knows that what you guys share is true love; if it was not you would not have been able to wake up Ben with the kiss"
"How do people know that I woke him up with a kiss?" I look at Adam who is looking behind me. I turn and see the guards from yesterday and Lumiere standing by the door "that is how they know" I hear Ben chuckle next to me. "Does this mean that our child will be born as the heir to the throne?" Adam looks at me then at Belle.
"Unfortunately not." He looks at Ben and me "Because you are not married the child will not be the heir in Auradon" I feel my eyes getting wet and look at the ground. I feel arms around me holding me close. "However" I look at Adam "As the child will be born by the princess of the Moors it will be the heir to that throne" I look at Ben and see him smile
"But then our child has to grow up at the Moors to learn everything about it. And I have to go back there as well with Belle" I notice Ben's smile disappear "I have to learn about the kingdom, I have to take responsibility for my people. Because of your people my people lost their queen and I am not letting that happen again" Ben looks at me and I notice anger in his eyes. The door to the room opens; I turn to look and see Evie, Jay, and Carlos walking in.
"Because of my people?!" I turn back to Ben and see him standing up next to me his hands in fists "Maybe if your mom had not behaved the way she did we wouldn't have had to send her away, ever thought about that Mal!" I feel the anger burning in me; I stand up and looks Ben in the eyes.
"If Stefan had not cut my mom's wings of she would never have done it!" I hear gasps around the room. "The worst thing you can ever do to a fairy is cut her wings of; why don't you ask Fairy Godmother, she knows about it" Someone take my hand, I look at see Evie standing next to me.
"It didn't give maleficent the right to behave the way that she did Mal." I look back at Ben "She could have gone to court and spoken to them about it"
"Like they would listen, she was not one of them" I look down realizing what I am saying and whispers "I am not one of you" I look at Mira and Rick, then at Belle; I let go of Evie's hand and walks to Belle "I want you to stay here Belle, this is your home; this is where you belong, not at the Moors" I see tears falling down her cheeks and takes her hands in mine "Belle I know that you see me as your daughter and I know that you want to protect me, but it is my time to protect you and the best way to do that is by making you stay here" I let go of her hands and walk back to Ben "Ben I love you, you know that" I kiss his cheek "Take care" I walk to Mira and Rick "I want to go home now, please"
"Mal you cannot leave" I feel Ben grab my hand and turn me around, I look into his eyes
"Take this boy that I hold near, make his memory disappear, until the day when I return, a true loves kiss will make it turn" I watch as Ben falls to the floor unconscious. Someone puts their arm around me and leads me out of the room; the last thing I see before the door close is Belle and Adam running to Ben.
"Let's go Mal" I look at Rick, he kisses my hair "I told you not to use magic if you got pregnant, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, just a small headache" He nods, we walk outside "where is Luna?" I hear small feet running our way; I turn and see Luna.
"Mommy, Lumiere told me you needed me?" she jumps into her mother's arms.
"We are going home my little fairy" She nods and lays her head on her mom's shoulder. I smile watching them and put my hand on my stomach. Rick kisses my hair
"You are not alone Mal, let's go home" He walks a few meters away from us and turns into a dragon; we get on his back and fly to the Moors. As we get to the Moors I notice the barrier is looking stronger than when we left. Rick flies right through it and lands on the other side, we get of him and he changes back to human.
"Why does the barrier look stronger Rick?" Rick looks at Mira then at me.
"Because you have accepted your place as the princess of the Moors. The barrier is a living thing, it can feel it." I nod and look at the barrier. "Welcome home princess" I look at Rick and smile, I walk into his chest and hug him. I feel his arms wrapping around me and after a minute I feel smaller arms wrapping themselves around my legs; I look down and see Luna smiling up at me.
"I am really home now" Rick kisses my hair and picks Luna up. Mira stands next to me and links her arm with mine.
"You are Mal, you really are" we walk to the cottage. When we get there we all find somewhere to sit and eventually everyone has fallen asleep; except for me. I get up and walk outside. I walk to the lake near the cottage and sits down; my hands touch my stomach and I smile a little
"You will meet your father one day, I promise you that. I will not be the parent who keeps you away from him; I'm not that cruel" I look at the water "only 3 more months and you will be here in my arms" I look at my stomach and I feel the tears in my eyes "I haven't meet you yet, but I already love you" I get up and walk back to the cottage where I lay down on couch and fall asleep.
