Chapter 4

AN- Wow so I asked for fifteen reviews and went to bed. When I woke up, I looked at my reviews and there were freaking 20! 11 REVIEWS IN 11 HOURS! WOW! Thank you so much! On with the story!

Ben got out a video camera and pointed it at Mal, "Hey baby beastie! So today your mommy and I found out she is pregnant with you! We can't see you yet, but you're in there. Mommy, do you want to say something?"

"Yeah okay, what are you doing?"

"I'm starting a video diary! So when baby beastie is in our position, he or she can watch these to see what cravings you have, how bad your wood swings are, and just stuff like that."
"Hmmm"
"What do you think, Mal?"

She looks at the camera and smiles, "It's a good idea, Ben."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so it's for baby beastie when he/she is having a baby?"

"Mhm,"

"Well baby beastie, you better be older than sixteen." Mal said with a chuckle.

With that, Ben laughed and kissed his wife. "You heard her. Do what your momma says! Bye baby beastie."

"Bye!" Mal said with a smile as Ben turned the video camera off. "So do you want a boy or a girl?" Mal asked Ben curiously.

"I kinda want a little girl that looks exactly like her mother, as cheesy as that sounds."

"Well, I want a boy that is nothing like me. I want him to be as good hearted and pure as his daddy."

Ben looked into her eyes, "Mal, you're the kindest, most beautiful, bravest, and smartest girl I have ever met."

Mal kissed him softly, "Let's get to bed big beastie, little beastie is making me tired."

"Okay… I love you, Mal."

"Love you too," Mal replied as she climbed into bed.

The next morning, Mal ran to the toilet and threw up the previous night's dinner. Ben came up behind her and pulled her hair back and wiping her face.

"I hate that you have to go through this," Ben said honestly.

"Its fine, it'll all be worth it when baby beastie is born," Mal said with a smile and brushed her teeth. "I'm going back to bed."
"Okay," Ben said. He climbed back into bed and put his arm around Mal, "so when do you want to start telling people?"

"Um, I don't know. Soon, I guess. I don't want to blow up before your parents know. I don't want to tell the public until we absolutely have to though."

"That's fine. I could set up a lunch with my parents for this weekend and we could tell them, how does that sound?"

"Okay, that sounds fine," Mal answered and went back to bed.

That Saturday, Mal and Ben were sitting down in the gardens with the former King and Queen, eating brunch.

"So Mal and I have a special announcement to share with you two," Ben said nervously, grabbing Mal's hand. His parents gave the both of them their full attention, Belle and Adam seeming to have a conversation with their eyes. "I know this is early but," he took a deep breath in and looked at Mal, "we're pregnant."

"I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD BE PREGNANT WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR!" Belle exclaimed to Adam.

Adam sighed and pulled a twenty out of his pocket, "here."

"Wait, you two were betting on when I would get pregnant?" Mal asked with disbelief, looking back and forth at Ben and his parents.

"Yeah, Belle has been waiting to become a grandmother since we found out we were pregnant with Ben," Adam answered with a chuckle.

"That does sound like mom," Ben replied with a laugh. "I'm so glad you two are so supportive."

"Honey, of course we are! Now come give momma a hug," Belle said, opening her arms. Ben stood up and hugged his parents and Mal was awkwardly pulled into the hug.

"I'm so excited! I really hope I'm gonna have a granddaughter. I've always wanted a little girl to dress up and to have tea parties with, but Ben was too much for us to handle, so we didn't have anymore children." Belle said to Mal, making her daughter-in-law laugh and Ben blush.

"I was not," Ben said with a scoff.

That night, Mal and Ben took their closest friends out to dinner at a nice restaurant in Auradon. Mal, Ben, Evie, Doug, Jay, Audrey, Carlos, Jane, and Lonnie sat around the dinner table laughing at something Carlos said. Ben and Mal stood up and held up their glasses.

"We have an announcement to make." Mal said, silencing everyone.

"We're pregnant!" They exclaimed to everyone at the table. Their friends all cheered and congratulated them. Evie smiled at Mal and stood up, dragging Doug up with her.

"We have something we want to say as well," everyone stared at the two of them.

"We're a couple," Doug said shyly. Everyone at the table cheered again for another happy couple. They continued the dinner, excitedly talking of babies and love.

Mal and Ben sat nervously, waiting for a doctor to come to check on their baby. "What if something is wrong? What if I'm not actually pregnant! Gosh, your mom would be so crushed. Ben, I'm so nervous! I don't know what I-" Mal was cut off by a knocking on their door.

"Are you ready to see your baby for the first time, your majesties?" The doctor asked as they opened the door.

"Yeah, we're ready," Ben answered, putting a hand on Mal's shoulder to calm her.

"I'm Doctor Whale and I'll be your wife's doctor during her pregnancy," the doctor put a hand out and shook Ben and Mal's hands.

"Lie down on the bed and we'll get started," he told the couple.

Mal nodded and did as the doctor said, watching him get his equipment out. He lifted Mal's shirt up and got some gel out.

"This is going to be cold," he warned before putting the gel on Mal's stomach. Ben got out the camera and started filming as the doctor pulled out a wand thing and put it over where the baby was. "Well your majesties, it seems as if your baby is-"

AN- I know, I'm cruel :) so since I got such an overwhelming response to the last chapter, can we get 35 reviews before I post chapter 5? Thank you for all the positive responses to this story. It really means a lot to me
