Hi There! As you can see I am back with another chapter, so let's get started shall we?:
*The limo on the way to Arenedale.* Aden is alseep, sprawelled out on Mal and Ben. And Ben and Mal are talking until:
"You know, your really cute with a kid in your arms" Ben flirts with Mal.
"He's so cute. And something is telling he is going to need all the hugs he can get."
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know maybe he'll be homesick, it's just a feeling anyways."
"Maybe-" Ben gets cut off
"Please daddy, I'm sorry, I'll be good I promise." Aden whimpers
Mal and Ben look at eachother.
"Daddy please don't. I will be a good boy I promise.."
"But I just wanted to hug her, no I won't tell them. I promise.."
"Ben, is he talking about hugging me?" Mal whispers.
"I don't know..But everything is going to be okay." Ben whispers back.
"DADDY DON'T" Aden yells, waking up panting and crying.
"Aden, honey, everything is going to be okay." Mal says trying to comfort him and holds him close.
"But, I'm not allowed to hug you." Aden says trying to pull away.
"What? Aden, what do you mean?" Mal asks. Only to pull him towards her tighter.
"Daddy, says I can't hug you. And that if I do, I'll get in trouble."
"Well, how about this. He can't get mad if he can't find out, and if he does, we'll say I ordered you to. Okay?" Mal says trying to hold him as close as possible.
"ow.."
Ben and Mal look at each other.
"Aden, did I hurt you when I pulled you closer, and squeezing your shoulder." Mal asked very carefully.
"yes. It really hurts."
"What really hurts?" Ben asks.
"My shoulder, whenever anyone touches it, it starts to hurt. can I have a bandaid.?"
"Can I see your shoulder?"
"Why?"
"so I can see how big a bandaid you need." Mal says
"Your going to need a big one."
*Ben pulls up his sleeve.*
Mal gasps and Ben says:
"Aden, we don't have a big enough bandaid, so we are going to need to stop and get one okay?"
"Okay." Aden says trying to snuggle deeper into Mal's neck.
"Driver, can we stop at the ER?"
"Sir, is something wrong?"
"Just stop at the ER." Ben says not in the mood for questions.
"Okay." The Driver says changing routes.
"Aden, did your mommy see this?" Mal says upset.
"Yes, she said that she saw me fall from a tree, but I didn't fall from a tree."
Ben and Mal look at eachother.
"Okay, maybe she saw another kid fall from a tree and thought it was you." Ben says trying to sooth him.
"can I sleep, I'm tired." Aden says, half asleep.
"Sure, I'll wake you up when we get there." Ben says.
*They wait five minutes before they start talking again*
"I am not waking him up. He needs his sleep, and from what I can tell he doesn't get very much of it." Mal says being protective of the child in her arms.
"I know Mal. I didn't plan on it."
"Good cause if you did, you would be dealing with me."
"I know."
"How can a mother let that happen? Even my mother wasn't that cruel."
"I was reading a file a few weeks ago, and was reading that even though kids live in Aurdron doesn't mean they don't live worst than the isle kids. I guess it is true.."
"Ben, I am not letting him go back to his parents. Correction, he will not! I am going to use everything in my power to make sure he does not."
"Well, what are we going to do with him then? I don't want him to go to foster care."
"What if we take him in?"
"Really Mal?"
"Yes, I know we've only been married for a few weeks, but we did say we wanted kids, that does mean they all have to be our blood. And I really don't want to see him back with his parents. It would be like I am abandoning him. He would know we knew, but we didn't do anything but fix him and then send him back. I won't-I can't do that."
"I know, and yeah. But let's see what the doctor says, maybe it was an accident. Okay? Then we can decide. Mama bear." Ben says trying to ease Mal's nerves.
"Okay, papa bear." Mal tesses.
*then they are slient just watching Aden, with Mal occassionally kissing his shoulder, and rocking him.*
Driver: We are here sir.
"Thank you, can you get the door, I have to help Mal."
Driver: sure.
*He gets out opens the door, and Ben get's out and helps Mal get out while still keeping Aden asleep.*
"I'm going to go talk to a nurse, you go find a seat and I'll come get you, okay? I know he has to be heavy." Ben says walking away.
"Ben" Mal says scared and nervously.
"What's wrong"
"He's not heavy." Mal says on the verge of tears.
"What do you mean?"
"I was able to get out of the car easily, and I am able to hold him, with no struggle, I am holding him with ease. He isn't his weight. He's too light. I would know. I have held little kids before."
"Okay, Mal, calm down. The doctor will tell us what is going on." Ben says trying to calm down both him and her.
"Um..Aden Ross?" A nurse comes out.
"Right here." Mal says walking towards the nurse.
"Okay, from the file it says you are not his mother."
"yes." Mal says not getting where this is going.
"Unfortunately, we can't let you in unless we have permission from the parents-"
"The parents do not find out about this, nothing that has to do something with him, anything on his file." Mal says, being protective.
"Okay, But I am going to have to take him, the doctor is waiting for him."
*Mal hands him over*
"Can you please stay with him? I don't want him waking up alone."
"I will, don't worry. In cases like this, the nurse who calls them which is me has to stay with them until the doctor is done and they are ready to go. Also, um from the way I hear him wheezing, and I can tell he has a fever is it okay if I give him some ice cream when he wakes up?"
"What for?"
"It's just going to be some choclate ice cream, with a little bit of adevle for kids. It's just going to help bring the fever done, and help relieve the pain from the shoulder. It's the right shoulder correct?"
Yes, and yes you can give him the ice cream."
"Okay, I will come and get you when he is done." The nurse says walking off.
"Ben, he has a fever, he's sick." "What if it's bad, his shoulder already hurts. wait until I get my hands on those people, they are going to-*gets cut off with a kiss from Ben.*
"Mal, he is going to be okay, we are in the right place, I promise. The doctors are going to help us get him back to 110% okay?" Ben says after breaking the kiss.
"Your right. well, I haven't eaten, so I am going to go find a vending machine, text me if they come out."
"I told you to eat before we left. But you were being stubborn. And don't worry I will."
Ring Ring!
"Hello?" Ben says
"Ben, you want to tell me why you are at the ER? Is Mal okay? Are you okay?" Belle says coming through the other side of the phone.
"How did you find out we were at the ER?"
"Young Kingdom News" "They have a picture of you and Mal talking to the nurse."
"Mal's going to kill me."
"Why? Is she the one hurt?"
"No, it's Aden, we were on our way to Arendile, and he woke up from a nightmare, and Mal tried comforting him by pulling him closer, and she touched his shoulder and he yelped. It's bad mom. He's running a fever, and he's underweight. Mal is going nuts."
*someone yells in the distance.*
" I have to go, I'll call you back." *hangs up. and starts running towards the sound, to find Mal out side, kicking the vending machine.*
"Mal, stop it." Ben says grabing her arms and making her look at him.
"Why? The worst I can do is hurt my foot and have to buy a new vending machine, But he's in there by himself with random strangers, and I'm out here kicking a vending machine. It's not fair. He's a good kid. He deserves to be in the limo with us ordering something from Taco Bell. And we laugh because he says Onions gross no. Then we ask if he wants so chocolate milk. and he says YAY Chocolate milk! Ben he's kid, he's supposed to be happy, and enjoying life. Asking us for Gummybears. " Mal says in tears. (A/N I just had to, I love gummybears, and I feel as though I owe a favor to Gummybear1178 So enjoy)
"I know, babe. If I could I would make it all right, but we can't, we can only hope for the best. Which is what we are going to do. Okay, we are going to go in there and just sit there and hope that they have everything under control, and that he is okay. Okay? Come on." Ben says trying to help realax Mal. He kisses her and just hugs her. And they are content just being with eachother until:
*Nurse runs out the one from before*
"Mal, he's awake and he's asking for you."
"Okay, I'm coming."
*They walk into the room where Aden is on the bed, crying and has his arms around his legs.*
"Hey Aden, I hear you were asking for me. Are you okay?" Mal asks walking over to the bed and sitting down.
*Aden doesn't answer, he just goes and sits in her lap and hugs her as tight as he can.*
"Don't go."
"I'm not going anywhere Aden. Okay? I am going to stay with you until the end. I promise." Mal says hugging back just as tight but being mindful of his shoulder.
"But you weren't here when I woke up, I thought you left, because you didn't like me."
"Aden, who told you I left, and of course I like you. Why wouldn't I? Your adorable, and you love cuddles as much as I do. Not to mention you like to tease Ben just like me."
"Daddy, said that no one likes me, and that he is only staying with me, because he has to. That he doesn't love."
"Aden, honey, I need you to make a deal with me. Okay?" Mal say look directly in Aden's eyes.
" okay" Aden says softly.
"I need you to promise me, that you won't listen to what him, because he isn't your dad if he says that. okay? Because, the whole kingdom likes you, I like you, Ben likes you. And guess what?"
"What?"
"It's your dads loss if he doesn't like you. Okay? Because you are wonderful."
"okay. Mommy. I love you."
"I love you too. I am going to be right back, I am going to go get Ben okay?" Mal says trying not to cry.
"You'll be back soon right?"
"Of course. Just a few seconds. If I'm not, I will make up to you okay?"
"How?"
"I'll give you some yummy ice cream, and we'll kick Ben out of bed and me and you will snuggle and watch some movies. I'll even share my strawberries."
"But daddy, says you don't like sharing your strawberries."
"Yeah, but your special so I'll share with you, okay?"
"Okay. Be back soon."
"I will."
*Mal walks out the door and slide downs the wall crying. And then Ben comes and finds her, and see she's on the wall crying.*
"Mal what's wrong?"
"I am going to KILL HIM! HE did that to his son, and he has his son,who is great, thinking that no one will ever like him. I am going to give him the death sentence!" Mal says standing up to get her phone and call Adam.
"No, you don't. Now tell me what happened. Okay?"
"I can't"
"Why"
"I promised Aden that I would go back in there with you, and I told him if I took to long that I would share my strawberries."
"Woah. You said that?"
"Yeah, cause he's great."
"That he is. Well, let's go."
"Yeah."
"Aden, guess who I have?" Mal says walking into the door.
"DADDY!" Aden says and jumps in Ben's arms.
Ben looks at Mal. And Mal nods.
"Hi Bud, how are you feeling?" Ben says snapping out of it.
"good, that lady gave me ice cream and she says she'll be back to bring my bandaid."
"Was it yummy? What flavor did you get?"
"It was soooo yummy, I wish I saved some so I could share, and I got chocalte, mommy said that you love chocolate."
*Ben looks at Mal again and Mal is smiling*
"That's okay, we can get some more later, and yep, mommy's right I do love chocolate. But guess what? Mommy loves hugs so go give her one."
*Aden lets go and goes to hug Mal.*
"I love you Ade." Mal whispers in his ear.
"I love you too mommy."
"I love you daddy." Aden says.
"I love you too."
"I love you Mal."
"I love you Papa Bear."
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I'm Sorry, blame my fingers, they have a mind of their own..(yep we do, ~Fingers) But did I make it better, by having Aden call them mommy and daddy? I am going to go run, before i see someone with a pitchfork...
Let's Talk:
Ally: I am glad to hear that you are reading this, and please continue to do so because I don't plan to end it soon.
Gummybear1178: It's okay, I am quite happy with Aden as well. And as for his age, I am going to change it to six, cause I feel like for them to be called mommy and daddy, they need a little young. And don't worry, they are working on something. And as for the jokes that Ben made about Aden and Mal, there will be tons more, so stay tunned.
autumbaby23: Well, I hope it continues to sound interesting. And here is the next chapter, so you don't have to wait any longer to find out.
Rucas1231: I am happy to hear that you like my writing style. And let me know if this was a good scene for Bal, I wrote it in just for you.
OMG-fangirl: Of course, I am going to finish this book. Not going to end it in the middle, because if I don't like when other authors do it, why would I do it to my readers. But of course I am going to have to take a break for summer, but I will be back as soon as it is over.
As always tell me what you think! and i will see you next time,
~Bella
