Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this part of our 'Surrogate' series. In all honesty 'Surrogate' was never meant to be a series, but after re-reading it this thought then came to me and I wanted to see where I can take it.

I have been re-reading a lot of my stories lately and it is making me think of more ideas for my stories which is good and bad in each way. Good because my series are getting expanded but bad as my story count is going back up after all that hard work to get my story count down. But hey ho! I guess that is how it goes sometimes. I think you can tell by my page I have decided to post the stories that have been on the back pedal and been uncertain whether to do. I decided to just bite the bullet and post them, so this in turn will help motivate me to get these stories done, sorry for the waffle. I just thought I better explain a little bit. Much love, RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.

*Mal's POV*

After me and Ben sharing a long cuddle after telling him that I was pregnant I then gave him the dates for my first scan. I couldn't help but grin as I watched as Ben's eyes lit up at this; Ben always looked forward to meeting our baby for the first time. Of course, I was looking forward to it too but seeing how my husband reacts to me being pregnant and having scans made me feel so overwhelmed at the fact that I was giving him the children that he deserved and wanted.

I watched as Ben quickly added this date to his calendar, which would also be sent to his secretary – obviously, the reason was just 'doctor's appointment'. There was no way that we could let the news of my pregnancy break, even to the staff. Me and Ben liked to do things properly and didn't want to jinx anything, we wanted to wait until I was twelve weeks pregnant before we told the world. I knew that the Kingdom and council would be happy with me and Ben making the royal family larger, as we had been questioned about this for the last year since Isabelle was born.

Before I knew it our evening meal with Adam and Belle had passed and me and Ben were currently carrying Edward and Isabelle to the right wing in Auradon Castle so we could get the children settled for the night. I was currently carrying Isabelle, who was snuggled into the crux of the left-hand side of my neck as she sucked onto her left thumb. Edward was currently sitting on Ben's right hip chatting earnestly to his father, which made me smile at how similar the pair of them were.

"Mal" I heard Ben say.

"Aha?" I answered as I looked up at him.

"Do you want to watch a movie tonight?" he offered. "You know" he added. "After these two are in bed" he smiled happily at me.

"I guessed that's what we were doing- "I started. "We tend to watch a film in bed before going to sleep" I reminded him.

"Sleep or sleep?" he winked at me.

"Ben!" I exclaimed.

"What?" he asked innocently. "They don't know what we are talking about" he stated.

"Still" I pressed. "Please?" I stressed, as the last thing that I wanted right now was either Edward or Belle to ask us questions – or Lucifer forbid they repeated something to anyone.

"Ok" he nodded. "Sorry my perfect dragon" he quickly apologised with my favourite warm and crooked smile.

"You better be Beast" I winked at him, which made him chuckle at me.

"Mammy" I heard Belle say.

"Yes Belle" I replied as I looked down at her in my arms.

"Can we have cuddles before bed?" he asked hopefully.

"Of course, my perfect dragon" I answered lovingly as I pressed a kiss against the top of her head.

"You two are so cute" I heard Ben note, which made me look up at him to see him through a proud look at the pair of us. "My girls" he grinned.

"And there are my two cute little Beasts" I teased, and I grinned as they both laughed at me. I then watched as Ben then opened our suite door and stepped to the side to let me carry Belle through the doorway. When me and Belle continued to walk through the living room of our suite, I heard Ben step into the suite and close and lock the door behind him and Edward, with me looking very forward to spending some family time tonight, even though this is technically every night. This was my life now, and I would never have it any other way.

After quickly bathing Edward and Belle we started to get them into their pyjamas. However halfway through getting them into their pyjamas Ben's phone rang; and he stepped out of the room to take it which left me to continue to get our perfect Prince and Princess ready for bed.

When they both were dressed in their sleep clothes, I led them both by the hand into the living room quarters of our suite, and when I looked over to the balcony, I noticed that the door was open, and Ben was pacing as he was on the phone. I let go of Edward and Belle's hands and I turned around to sit down and I watched as they both climbed onto the couch and cuddled into me with Edward on my left side and Belle on my right. I quickly then reached forward and picked up the TV remote and turned the TV and quickly picked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as I knew they both loved this film. As the starting credits started to play, I then placed the TV remote back down and I sat back and Edward and Belle both placed their heads on my lap, and I started to run my fingers through both of their hairs.

Minutes later Ben then stepped into the room and quietly closed the door behind him, and I watched as he smiled at me as his eyes landed on us all.

"Say cheese" he muttered with a grin as he walked around us.

"Cheese!" he all called tiredly, and I watched as he took a photo of us all. "They are falling asleep" he noted as he walked towards the couch.

"Probably" I smiled as I continued to run my fingers through their hairs. "They both like it when I play with their hair" I purred happily.

"So do I" he grinned, and I watched as a playful glint entered his eyes.

"Don't worry Beast" I teased. "You'll get your turn later" I winked at him.

"Good" he smirked back as he sat down on the end of the right-hand side of the couch; and Belle lazily lifted her head and looked up at her father.

"Daddy!" he called excitedly.

"Hello princess" Ben smiled over to her, and I watched as Belle Giggled at Ben as she sat up and crawled over to Ben. They both smiled at each other as she climbed onto his lap, straddles him and she snuggled her face into his chest. "I love you my little Dragon" he cooed happily before he pressed a kiss on the top of her head before he snuggled into her bright purple hair.

"Come here you" I said as I slid my hands around Edward's torso, and I picked him up as he yawned at me. I then pulled him onto my lap, and he straddled my lap and snuggled into my chest. "I love you my little Beast" I cooed as I snuggled into his bright purple hair before I pressed a kiss against his head, and he purred happily at me. I loved how both Edward and Belle did this just like Ben, something that I always found insanely cute.

Ben then slid closer over to me and the four of us just sat cuddling until both Edward and Belle fell asleep on us, however we waited until the end of the film before we slowly and carefully stood up and carried them to bed. As I placed Edward in his bed, I couldn't help but smile at my sleeping Beast in his bed, I really loved my family, and I couldn't wait to meet our new addition. My mind had already started wonder whether we were expecting a Beast or Dragon, but either way we were going to love them endlessly just like their brother and sister.
