Chapter 3
AN- Thanks again for the reviews this chapter starts a month after the last chapter left off! I hope you enjoy
Mal jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to puke her guts out. Ben walked in to pull her hair back and when she was done he held a wet towel to her forehead. He flushed the toilet and handed her a toothbrush and toothpaste. "Thank you," Mal said before brushing her teeth.
"Anytime," Ben told her with a soft smile. "Why don't you take a warm bath? School doesn't start for a few hours and when it does we can take you down to the nurse, okay?"
Mal gave him a small smile, "Okay, I love you."
"Love you too," Ben said, kissing her cheek. "Do you want me to bring you some clothes?"
"Actually, could you get in the bath and just hold me?"
He softened a little bit, "of course."
Ben turned the water on and quickly took off his clothes, watching Mal do the same. He helped her get into the tub and got in behind her. He put his arms around her and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
When Ben took Mal to the nurse, he was told to go to class after explaining Mal's symptoms. He reluctantly left, pressing a kiss to Mal's forehead. When he got to class, Evie suddenly bombarded him with questions.
"Where's Mal? Is she missing? Is she skipping? I told her to stop skipping class."
"Mal's fine, she's at the nurse. She probably just got a stomach bug or something."
"Um, Ben? Mal never gets sick. Not even on the island."
Ben gave Evie a worried look, "really?"
Evie's eyes widened a bit like she just remembered a possibility, "Oh wait, she got sick a couple times actually."
Ben relaxed a bit at this information and looked like he was about to say something but the bell rang. He sighed and went to his seat, glancing at Evie who was texting someone with a worried expression on her face.
After Ben left, the nurse instantly started asking Mal personal questions. "When was your last period?"
"Um, I thinkā¦" Mal's eyes widened, "I'm late! Does this mean I'm pregnant? I'm not ready! I've only been married for a month! Ben and I haven't even talked about kids! I can't be a mother yet! I'm only sixteen, oh god."
"Mal, honey, calm down. Do you want me to get Ben or a friend to be there for you when you take a test?"
"Um, I don't want to worry Ben so can you get Evie? She's in history."
"Sure thing hon," the nurse told Mal, "just wait here." After she left, Mal texted Evie 911
E: What? Ben told me you were sick. Are you pregnant?
M: Idk, I asked the nurse to come get you. I don't want to be alone but I don't want to tell Ben yet.
E: Ben's in my class! He's gonna know something is up!
M: Ask if you can go to the nurse
E: Okay, teach let me go, omw!
When Evie and the nurse walk into the room, Mal takes a deep breath. "You ready sweetie?"
"As I'll ever be," Mal replies with a sigh. Evie rubs her back soothingly as the nurse hands Mal a pregnancy test. Mal stands up and goes to the bathroom. She does her business and pulls Evie into the bathroom. "I'm scared. I don't know how to be a mom. Maleficent wasn't exactly a good example. I mean, Ben would make a great father but me? I'd be a terrible mom. My child would hate me, E!"
"Mal, you'd be a great mom. Having Maleficent as a mom taught you how NOT to be a mom."
"Thanks, E." Mal says with a small smile that quickly goes away when the timer goes off. She takes a deep breath in and looks at the test with shaky hands. She dropped the test and puts a hand to her stomach. "I-I'm p-pregnant."
Evie gives Mal a hug, "Mal, it is okay. Deep breaths, deep breaths." Mal took some deep, shaky breaths until she calmed down. She started sobbing softly into Evie's shoulder until the bell rang. She stopped crying and wiped her eyes.
"E, do you have any makeup remover and extra mascara I could borrow."
"Always," Evie dug in her purse and handed her what she needed. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I have to be." Mal answered with her hand still on her stomach. When Evie and Mal, left the room, they noticed Ben sitting in one of the chairs. Once he saw Mal, he instantly brightened and walked over to her.
"Hey, how are you feeling? Are you sick?" He asks and gives her a kiss on the forehead.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just a stomach bug." Mal responds with a tight smile. Ben notices the nurse and Evie giving her a disappointed look. He glances down at his wife with a confused look.
"Mal, are you sure it's just a bug?"
She gives him a nervous glance and sighs, "I'm pregnant! You happy?"
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped, "Seriously?"
"Yeah," she wouldn't look him in the eye.
He grinned and kissed Mal passionately. "Of course I'm happy! This is so great!" He put his hands on Mal's stomach and leaned down to her stomach. "Hey baby, I'm your daddy. Your mommy and I are going to love you so much. You're going to have the best life, and I'm going to always protect you. I promise." He looked up at Mal and noticed tears in her eyes. "Mal? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, everything is fine it's just, I'm not ready to be a mom. I haven't exactly had the best role model," she said with a sad chuckle.
"Mal, you'll be a perfect mother! This baby will love you and everything about you. God knows you've become a mother figure for Evie, Carlos, and Jay. You are perfect and the baby will be perfect," he kissed her softly, "I love you."
"I love you too," she said with a bright smile. "Gosh, I never thought I'd be here, married to the perfect guy, pregnant with his child, and queen of Auradon."
Ben smiled his perfect smile. "Let's get to class," he told her.
"Okay," Mal replied as Ben put his arms protectively around her waist. Together they walked to class.
