It had been two weeks since Ben and Mal had surprised their parents with a party celebrating their anniversary and today was Mal's baby shower. Unlike traditional showers she wanted the boys there, Ben especially. So they had organized it so the boys would be there with them. The young royal couple had also come up with a unique way of telling everyone what gender the twins are, which they were looking forward to.

Currently they were sat in the large family room, where Belle had decided would be better for Mal's shower. A decision Mal happily agreed with. Her back was constantly aching now and the size of her stomach made getting up and down hard. In fact she was considering leaving school in the next month and doing her work from the castle, the getting up and down every hour or so and the walking too and from classes was simply too much for her. But she had to talk to Ben about it first.

Ben had his arm around Mal's waist, with her leaning into his side. They were waiting for the rest of their usual group and their other guests to arrive. Currently the two were sat with their parents, Evie and Audrey who had spent the morning decorating the living room in neutral color decorations. The purple haired teen loved what they had done but was more looking forward to telling them the babies gender. If for no other reason then Evie would stop nagging at her to find out so she can make gender specific outfits.

"So, will you tell me what the babies are now?" Evie asked the couple causing the other three present to laugh. It seemed Evie just wouldn't give up.

Mal couldn't help but chuckle herself, as Ben smirked. "No, E. You'll find out in a few hours with everyone else." She told the blunette, who actually pouted at her. The pregnant teens chuckling turned to full blown laughter at the sight of her sister pouting at her. "Anyway." She said once she was able to control her laughter. "The room looks great guys." She complimented.

As the two girls smiled at her the door of the family room opened. Mal turned her head, her smile widening as she saw Carlos, Jay, Jane, CJ, Freddie, Diego, Ellie, Kristin, Aaron, Chad, Lonnie, Aziz, Alison and Fairy Godmother walk in, each with a present or gift bag. The purplette couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sight. She had told them not to bother getting her anything for the babies, she had everything she could want and more, but they all had protested. By the time Mal had given each of them a hug and greeted them everyone else had arrived, including the other royal families. The pregnant teen hadn't wanted to invite them all but Belle, Adam and Ben had told her with the first born twin being the next ruler of the Kingdom it was a curtesy to invite them, just as they had all been invited to Belle's baby shower when she was pregnant with Ben.

Which is why, purple and blue invites in hand, Snow White & Ferdinand, Jasmine & Aladdin, Elsa, Anna & Kristoff, Ariel & Eric, Aurora & Phillip, Tiana & Naveen, Rapunzel & Eugene and the three good fairies were in the room. Mal hadn't even really been paying attention to everything going on around her. She had become lost in thought about her babies. She had no idea how long she had been alone in her thoughts but she was brought out of them by Audrey.

"You okay, Mal?" She asked the purplette. She had been keeping an eye on her friend since the others had arrived and had noticed the girl lose herself in her thoughts. She couldn't help but worry, she knew Mal had been worried about all the royals being here mostly because Mal had been paranoid that Audrey's grandmother Leah would show up and cause trouble.

Mal nodded to her brunette friend, turning to face the princess. "Yeah. Just thinking." She said. Mal had been surprised by how close her and Audrey had become since Ben's coronation. Now though she sometimes wondered where she would be without the brunette.

Audrey smiled at the purplette. "Anything specific?" She questioned.

"Not really. The twins mostly." Mal admitted, returning the brunette's smile. Looking around the room Mal felt blessed by the amount of love she had and the family she had made for herself. A family that included a few people she had hated a year ago. Her attention was quickly taken when Audrey stood and ben took her previous seat.

Smiling at her husband she noticed everyone else take a seat around the room, most of the teens sitting on the floor mostly in their couples. Evie and Doug sat in front of Snow and Ferdinand, Jay and Audrey in front of Audrey's parents, Jane and Carlos in front of Fairy Godmother and surprising the pregnant teen Aziz and Lonnie were sat in front of Jasmine and Aladdin, Chad and CJ sat in front of Chad's parents with the others scattered around.

As Mal turned back to Ben she couldn't help but raise her eyebrow at him. "Evie decided it was present time." Ben responded to her unspoken question, prompting Mal to chuckle.

"That's only because after the presents I said I would reveal the twins gender." Mal stated and ben couldn't help but chuckle along with her. He knew his wife was probably right. Still he was excited to see peoples reactions.

Before Ben could respond however the first gift bag was handed to them. Checking the tag on the handle of the bag Mal noticed it was from Ellie and she couldn't help but smile at the blonde before showing Ben the name on the tag and slipping her hand inside the bag. Her hand came into contact with two boxes. Grabbing them she carefully lifted them out of the bag. Smiling as she noticed what they were. In her hands were two ceramin handprinting kits.

"I thought it was sonething unique for you to remember when they were small and cute." Ellie said with a chuckle.

Mal handed the boxes to Ben to see before turning to face the blonde. "They're lovely Ellie. Thank you." She said before attempting to get up from her seat. The blonde noticed and stood a lot faster moving over to Mal, who immediately pulled her into a hug.

Ellie helped the pregnant teen settle back into her seat and as she moved away Mal was handed a large gift basket filled with lotions, sponges, diapers and various other little bits she would need for the twins. Mal couldn't help but smile again. From all the reading she had been doing she could never have enough of these items but three boxes of diapers seemed a little excessive. Looking up she found Fairy Godmother holding the basket.

"Thank you, Fairy Godmother." Mal said earning a smile from the older fairy. As Ben took the basket, placing it next to the gift from Ellie, Mal leaned forward and hugged the older woman surprising her.

It took a couple of seconds but Fairy Godmother gently hugged the pregnant teen back. "Your welcome, Mal." The headmistress responded, before pulling away and heading back to her seat.

Everything followed in the same way for most of the afternoon. Mal was handed the gifts, Ben then took them and placed them next to him while mal hugged and thanked the person/people the gift was off, then they were handed the next gift. Aurora & Phillip had gotten the pair a large gift basket similar to Fairy Godmother, as had Ariel & Eric, Rapunzel & Eugene and Tiana & Naveen. Freddie and CJ had bought some gender neutral baby grows and sleepsutis for the babies, while Diego had recorded an album of childrens songs for the twins. Carlos and Jane had gotten them a complete set of baby books, all the royal stories included in them.

Jasmine and Aladdin had bought the pair two moses baskets, Aziz and Alison giving them bedding to go with them and a teddy for each baby. Elsa, Anna and Kristoff had bought them two bouncing chairs and various soft toys and rattles. Kristin and Aaron had bought them a selection of pacifiers, bottles and sleepsuits for the twins and Chad had gotten them beautiful photo frame with 'Our little family' engraved on it and two baby books that go from birth and cover various stages of the twins lives.

Now there was only Evie & Doug and Audrey & Jay to go. Evie stood up next with Doug just behind her. "I hope you like them." Evie said as she handed the gift bag to Mal. The young married couple shared a look before Mal reached in and pulled out a white sleepsuit. She couldn't help but smile as she noticed 'Mommy's Little Beastie' written in green stitching on it. Mal turned it so Ben, Belle and Adam could see it and they all chuckled. Carefully Mal placed it back into the bag and pulled out a second white sleepsuit. The difference was that 'Daddy's Little Fairy' was written in yellow stitching on this one.

"They're amazing, E. Thank you so much." Mal gushed as she handed the bag to Ben pulling first Evie then Doug into a hug. "I can't wait to see the twins in them." She stated, hugging Evie once more before the blunette and half dwarf moved away.

But Mal quickly found Audrey and Jay stood in front of her. The half fairy immediately noticed Audrey's anxious/worried expression and her brother wore a similar expression on his face. Handing them the present the purplette also noticed Audrey's hands shaking slightly but she chose not to comment on it right now. She was probably anxious about their reactions to the present so Mal chose to rip the wraping paper off, hoping to ease their worry.

Casting her eyes to her lap Mal was comfused. There on her lap was a book titled 'the Prince and the Half Fairy'. It looked like a childrens book but Mal had never heard of it before. So she looked cautiously up at Audrey. "I thought the twins might like to read the story of how their parents met and fell in love." The brunette admitted, blushing a little bit.

To say Ben and Mal were shocked would be an understatement. If they had bothered to look around they would notice the rest of the room looked either shocked or in awe of the thought and time put into their gift for the twins. But the couples eyes remained glued to the book as Mal carefully opened it to find a picture of herself and Ben at his coronation on the first page. The purple haired teen didn't look any further she slid the book over to Ben and, best she could, she launched herself at the two brunette's in front of her.

"I absolutely love it, guys." Mal said, tears gathering in her eyes. The purplette felt all the tension leave their bodies as she said this. Why they were nervous she didn't know but she adored their gift for the twins, it was something she hadn't even thought of. "Thank you so much." She said before sitting back.

It was then that they saw Mr Potts, Chip, Lumière and Cogsworth enter the room all of them carrying a large tray of cupcakes. Mal watched as Ben nodded to them and they walked towards everyone, handing each person a plate with two cupcakes on. Both cupcakes had a small ultrasound photo on it, one labelled Baby A and one labelled Baby B.

Once everyone except Ben, Mal, Belle and Adam had a plate the four left the room and Ben cleared his throat. "So if you would take a bit out of the cupcake labelled Baby A it will tell you the gender of our first baby." Ben said and everyone followed his instructions. A minutes later a loud squeal was heard from both Evie and Audrey. The young married couple couldn't help but chuckle as everyone stared at the blue m&m's that filled the middle of the cupcake. They all followed the same process with the second cupcake, another pile of blue m&m's spilling from the cupcakes.

"Oh my god! Twin boys!?" Jane surprisingly exclaimed. Ben and Mal nodded and the girls all smiled at the expectant parents.

After a little while longer of the young couple getting questions about their boys and if they have thought of any names, most of their guests left. Only Evie, Doug, Jay, Audrey, Carlos, Jane, CJ, Chad, Lonnie, Aziz, Ellie, Freddie and Fairy Godmother were left when Lumière walked in. As everyone turned to face him he turned to face Mal, bowing as he did so. "Very sorry to interrupt your majesty but this just arrived for you." he said handing the purplette the envelope he had been holding. Not wanting to further interrupt Lumière quickly left the room.

Mal tore open the envelope not really sure who would send her a letter. Everyone who she spoke to was currently in the room with her. But as she pulled out the card inside her heart felt like it stopped. She reread the card three times, tears gathering in her eye and a scared look taking over her face. Immediately gaining her family's attention. "Mal? What's wrong?" Ben asked as Belle moved to sit next to the scared, pregnant teen. The teen didn't respond she simply handed the card to her husband. Both him and Adam growled as they read it. But ben suppressed his anger to read it aloud.

Mal.

Enjoy your happiness while you can because it will not last. I will get what I want and there is nothing you or your pathetic little friends can do about it this time. Mark my words I will get the wand and then your children.

Mother

"God damn it!" Jay exclaimed once ben had finished. "Can she not let you be happy!" The long haired ex-thief shouted in anger while Belle wrapped her arms around her daughter, who had yet to say a word.

"Don't worry Mal." Audrey said, getting the purplette's attention. "She won't get to you or your boys. None of us will let her." The rest of the group, Fairy Godmother included, began nodding to show their agreement to the brunette princess' statement. Mal forced herself to smile at them all but her nerves were still written across her face. It seemed they would never be able to enjoy any of their special, happy days without something ruining it.
