Mal's Prov
In the morning, I woke looking around for Ben. 'He's probably dealing with something.' I said as I slowly got ready, pulling on one of my comfy clothes, but they felt tight.
Mal: hey E. Can you do me a huge favor?
Evie: Anything. What's up?
Mal: I need a truckload of Maternity clothes! All my clothes are tight, even ones I could wear just a couple days ago!
Evie: Already on it. Ben called last night!
Mal: You're the best.
I went out to the castle. "Do they know?" I heard Shean ask Shane, who said "No." "Do we know what?" I said, as Shane hid the article on her phone. "Nothing." I rolled my eyes and said "Do I have to look it up myself?!" Shane said "No. Don't!" I said "Then show me." They still refused, so I pulled out my phone and saw notifications, I didn't pay attention to this morning. I clicked them and stormed off to the office. "Ben." He jumped up, and said "What's wrong?" I didn't say anything but went over to his laptop, and opened the website where Auradon finds their news. "'Lady Mal the slut. The future queen of Auradon: The liar who will take the thrown?' What is this?" We continued scrolling, seeing the picture of us in the limo, Ben lovingly cradling my baby bump, affectionately, then the second picture, the words with that one Ben read out loud. "'Why is Lady Mal Crying? Is it because she's having a baby out of Wedlock? Or is the truth more gruesome? The Kings Lady has been seen more in the public eye, with Chip Potts, Sanderson and Markus! Who is the true father of the baby? Will King Ben leave the slut? Follow for more on this ground breaking story.'" I started crying harder, moving to the couch, sobbing. Ben came over to me. "Mal, sweetie, it's okay..." He tried to soothe. "I'm going to take care of this, personally. Do not worry, I'll set the record straight." Just then Evie, Lonnie, Jane, and Shane came over. Chip was spending time with the boys.
The girls stayed with me, and I said "Shane, did you intentionally try to keep me from seeing the article, because you didn't want it to upset me?" Shane said "Yeah, I'm sorry... I didn't want to see you so upset..." "Your heart was in the right place. Thank you for trying to protect me." I said with a smile. "I love you guy. OWWW... OW..." "M?" I started crying... "I need Ben!" "I'll go get him." Lonnie said, as she ran to where Ben was. "OWWWW. I'm in so much pain." Ben came in and said "M?" "Ben!" Ben immediately came over, and lifted me up, worried. "Are you alright?" I said "No... I'm in so much pain..." "Do you want to go to the hospital?" I nodded, as Ben said "Okay, sweetie, can one of you go tell Markus or Sanderson to go fuel up the limo?" Lonnie ran off, while Shane and Evie helped get us a bag. "Alright, Markus is ready to go." Ben got me in the limo, kissing my head.
When we arrived at the hospital, we went up to the receptionist. "It hurts..." Ben had helped me to a wheelchair. We were in disguises so no one would be able to tell. "Hi my wife needs to be seen right away... she's about 4 ½ months pregnant, and in a lot of pain." "Labor and delivery can handle it. Right to the elevators, floor 4." Ben thanked her, before getting me, up to the right floor. Once there, he said "Hi My wife is 4 ½ months pregnant, with low blood pressure, and Iron levels, and has been diagnosed with Pelvic Pervia.. She's in a lot of pain." The receptionist said "Of course... Your..." Ben immediately made the shhh sign. "I'll get you back." She took us to one of the best private rooms. "Alright. I'll send the nurse, and swear her to secrecy, as well as the doctor." "Thank you." Ben helped me into the bed, before sitting beside me. "What's wrong with me?" "We're going to find out sweetie, I promise." Ben vowed.
Ben: Hey Mom, at the hospital with Mal. I'll update you when we know more.
Belle: WHAT?! Is she okay?
Ben: I don't know... She was in a lot of pain, but she was stressed and crying, before all of this... Thats a long story.
Just then there was a knock, and Ben called a come in. The nurse took all my vitals, and took the blood for the blood work, before saying she'd be back. I looked to Ben as He kissed my head. "It'll be alright." He whispered, as I said "It really hurts." Ben caressed my shoulder and hummed softly to me. "I know sweetie, I know." The doctor came in, and said "Alright, so I'm concerned, that all this is caused by stress..." Ben said "Wait what?! I make sure she's not under any stress! How can this be?!" Ben demanded. "Your majesty, please calm down. Did she see the recent headline?" I said "Doctor, can you please stop talking as if I'm not in the room! I'm right here!" Ben said "I'm sorry honey, you're right. Yes, we both have." The doctor said "Okay, I'm going to stress this, you need to keep your stress level's down, or you're going to put your child at risk." I said "I'm harming my baby?" My voice sounded small and fearful. "Yes." The doctor replied as Ben looked to me, then back at the doctor. "How is the baby now?"
"We need to do an ultrasound, but just based on a few things, it's not looking good." I looked to Ben, terrified. Ben nodded, as the nurse came in and did the ultrasound, frowning, motioning for the doctor to look. "What's wrong?" Ben demanded. "Here let me try." He said moving the wand around. "Your majesties... I am so incredibly sorry..." I said "Why?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BABY?!" Ben said "Yeah doc what's going on?!" "There's no heartbeat..." "I want a second opinion!" I demanded. "Your highness... It will not chang..." Just then Chuck Dwarfson and Amy came. Both did the ultrasound, and their faces went ashen. They put a fetal doppler on me and still nothing. "I'm so sorry guys..." I felt ready to break down. "What's the plan?" "We'll deliver the baby right here, via c-section, and will keep the child until you awake, so you both can hold the baby before we take her to our morgue. I looked to Ben, who said "Of course..." They went to get the supplies, they needed.
Ben: Hey... Not good news... The baby's not alive... Mal's having an emergency c-section to deliver the baby...
Belle: WHAT?! OH MY GOD! How is she coping?! How are you coping?! Do you need us to come home?!
Ben: Hey, Chip, and Lumiere, can you bring everything I'd need to work from hospital? I'll explain more later.
Ben: No Don't. Mal and I are both trying to be strong. Me Moreso for her sake, I know she'll have a better chance at recovery if I'm strong for her. I know she'll break down once reality sets in.
Chip and Lumiere: Yeah of course!
Chip: I'll come up in an hour. I might be reading between the lines but, I think you need a hug.
Belle: Well, we'll come home at a moment's notice, just let me know.
Ben: Thanks Chip. I really could...
~Ben's prov! ~
The doctors all did Mal's surgery and laid the baby in the crib. She made a little noise, The doctors had left for a moment, I walked over to the crib, and said "Hey little one I don't even know if you could hear me... But I'm your daddy..." I heard a more distinct sound coming from the baby, who did not look like she was 4 months premature, she looked more like a 7 month old baby. "No... way..." I whispered in shock, I went to Mal's bed side, and hit the call button repeatedly, before looking to my child. "Daddy's here, little one..." I gently lifted the baby in my arms. "Your majesty is everything okay?" I heard Amy as she entered. "No... I think all three of you were wrong..." Just then the baby started crying loudly.
"Oh my god! I think you are right!" She reached the intercom and said "CODE WHITE! I REPEAT CODE WHITE! NEED THE NEONATAL TEAM NOW!" She came over and listened to my child's heart and lungs. "Is your wife a fairy?" I said "Yeah, she is. Why?" Amy said "I think your wife's fairy blood saved your sweet baby. Her lungs and heart sound so much stronger than others that I've heard in babies born this early." The neonatal team came in and took the baby from me, before working on the baby. "Amy, do you know what my angel is?" I asked, as she said "Yes, your baby is a beautiful little girl. Did you and your wife pick out a name for her?" I said "Not yet... She was a surprised. Can we keep her in here? I don't want the paparazzi, to be trying to sneak in and get pictures of her without my knowledge or my wife's." "Of course, we can set everything up for her to stay in here. Your safety, your wife's and your daughters are our top priority." "Thank you. We're expecting a friend coming with some stuff for me. His names Chip Potts." They nodded and left.
~Mal's Prov~
I woke up a little, feeling groggy. "Ben?" Ben came over sitting on the bed. "Hey. How are you feeling?" He asked. "I wanted that baby." I confessed. "Well... Then I have some good news... Or rather a surprise... Wanna know what it is?" I nodded, as he lifted something from the crib, A tiny fuss came from the baby. "Ready to meet your mommy baby girl?" Ben whispered before sitting with me. "She's alive?" I asked, as Ben laid her in my arms. "She is. Must be her mom's fairy blood." I smiled, looking to my daughter. "She's perfect, Ben. Really. Our little Mirical baby." I whispered. "She needs a name... And I was thinking... Amiracle Rose... I want Rose somewhere in the name, for our daughter..." I said "Amiracle Rose Adamsin. I like the way that sounds." Ben said "I love it too." I said "Welcome to Auradon, Amiracle Rose Adamsin." I kissed her head, as Ben took a picture of us. Amiracle cried hungrily. I adjusted my top as Ben helped Amiracle latch on before placing blankets rolled up around me.
Ben: Hey Chip before you come can you go to the baby store in town, and get a few things?
Chip: Sure thing! Just text me a list.
Ben: Thanks man. I'll pay you when you come! ~Attaches a list of things.~ I'll explain in person.
Chip: Alright I'll plan on being there in a few hours!
After Amiracle finished feeding, I gently burped her, as Ben said "Here let me take her. You have stitches and we have to take extra care." I nodded, as I handed my now sleeping daughter to her father. I snapped a few pictures of Ben and Amiracle. He laid her down in the crib, before sitting back down beside me.
Ben: ~Attaches a picture of Mal holding Amiracle, and one of himself and Amiracle. ~ Hey mom. Surprise! Meet Amiracle Rose Adamsin. She's just perfect. Mal's fairy blood worked wonders. She's four months early, but she's the size of a 7 month. I'll provide more details later.
Belle: Aweee she is so beautiful! I cannot wait to meet her! We should be back in town in a couple days! Do either of you need anything?
Ben: Well... Yes, But I'm going to text Lumiere, and Coggsworth, and talk to Chip to see if they can help!
Ben: Hey Lumiere, Coggsworth, I need a huge favor! Do you know where mom and dad kept all the baby stuff? If yes, can you set the nursery up in the room next to mine and Mal's? If there's a travel tender, Bassinet and a swing, you can set it up in our room! I'll provide more details when I need it done by. Also, I got some yellow paint in the room next to mine and Mal's, can you paint it for me as well?
Lumiere and Coggsworth: You got it.
When the doctor's returned, Amy checked both of us over. "Alright, so Mal can go home in a couple days, and your little princess will be able to go home then too, if she continues making these strong and wonderful strides." "That's wonderful news, Thanks Amy!" I said as Ben smiled.
Over the next couple days, we spent a lot of bonding time with our little one, she was her father's carbon copy. Today we'll finally be able to go home. I was cleaning myself up in the bathroom, before I came out. Ben had packed up the diaper bag, while I went to our sleeping daughter. "I can't believe all the turmoil, of the last couple days, us almost losing her..." "I know, how you feel. While you were asleep, I was messed up, then I heard little noises, and went over to her, and they got louder, I hit the call button, and Amy checked her, and agreed they made a mistake, and thanks to fairy blood. Thanks to you." I said "Thank you Ben... For taking care of us and fighting for us." "My pleasure, Mal. Now let's get her home." I buckled her in her car seat, earning fusses. Amy came in with the neonatal doctor. "Alright, so you can have visitors, but No one but you and your husband can hold her right now." I nodded, as Ben got the discharge papers. "We have hospital security ready to escort you out, and your limo is ready."
Ben said "Thank you doctor. I really appreciate the great lengths you both went through to save my wife and child and ensuring our safety." Amy and the neonatal doctor said "Of course! Anything for our King." The security guards escorted us out, but the halls were filled with the Paparazzi. "Step back." The security guards fought through them, till we reached the limo. Sanderson opened the door, and I sat the car seat on the base, turning it to the face the seat, before I got in, and sat beside her, before Ben got in, sitting next to me. Sanderson shut the door, causing Ben to lock it, before settling back down beside me.
Once we got home, Sanderson got out, flagging Markus, Coggsworth, Lumiere and Chip, over. They came over, blocking us from view, as they helped us inside. Ben and I went to our room, where I sat the car seat on the bed, as I lifted Amiracle up. She cried, hungrily. I nursed her, then burped her. "How is she?" asked Ben, as he emerged from the bathroom. "She's fast asleep." I whispered, as I nestled her in the swing and turned it on. "Alright, you got her right? I'm going to take a shower. "Remember, pat wash the surgical incisions!" I nodded as I quickly showered. After I pulled on one of Ben's pair of sweatpants and hoodie, that was a zip up, so I could unzip, and unclip my nursing bra and tank. "Hey, how is she?" I asked. "She's perfectly fine. Now are you hungry?" I said "Starving actually, but I don't want to leave her..." Ben said "well we can leave her, sleeping, because look." He pointed to a camera above our bed. "We can easily move it to the nursery, when she's ready. It's linked, to this." He clicked the video monitor on, and I could see and hear her snoring a little. "Okay. Let's go eat." I whispered, but as we went out, Amiracle cried. I said "Awe baby. I lifted her up, and Ben helped me tie a baby wrap around me, before I laid her inside, where she went right back to snoozing. "Alright." Ben sat the monitor down and kissed my lips, then Amiracle's forehead. We went out to the dining room, where Belle and Adam were. "Finally. Good food! I've been craving Mrs. Potts cooking!"
"Actually, Chip made it, but it's his mom's recipe." Belle said, as she noticed the wrap. "Is this...?" Ben said "Yeah, but once she wakes up, we'll make the official introduction." We ate dinner before Amiracle cried loudly. "Awe sweetie..." I said lifting her up. "Honey?" I heard Ben say as he came over, as I tried rocking Amiracle while I ate. "Here let me..." Ben gently took her from me, whispering "Eat up, honey. I'll jiggle." he said, as he started jiggling her. "Hey. It's okay, sweetie." Ben whispered, after I finished eating, Belle and Adam came over. "Who is this?" Ben said "This is Amiracle Rose Adamsin. Her first name, means literally, a Miracle, because that's what she is. She was dead inside the womb, but she fussed once out. Proving she was alive, and our little miracle, and her middle name, Rose... Is meant to be symbolic, knowing how much the rose meant to you... Mal agreed once she was awake."
Belle and Adam both smiled proudly, as Belle said "She's beautiful, you guys. I'm assuming no one but you and Mal can hold her?" I nodded and said "Yeah, sorry, even though she's the size of a 7 month old baby she's still considered premature..." "No worries, we don't want to risk her getting sick either. Did the paparazzi see her?" "They tried to, but it was their fault she was born this early... Or rather part of the reason... But hospital security escorted us out to keep us safe, the paparazzi tried to get pictures, but we didn't let them. Although one look at her, and you'd be able to tell she's Ben's..." "Wait what do you mean it'd prove she's Bens?" I said "They made a post about Chip, Sanderson or Markus being the father, since Ben's usually doing something way more important, when I go out, so I feel safer with one of them... And..."
Belle said "Oh my god! The ignorance! Is that what caused everything to happen?!" I nodded once and said "Yes. It stressed me out so bad, that I was in the worst pain, so Ben got me to the emergency department." Belle said "Awe. Well, we're glad everything turned out just fine." "Us too. We're going to go lay down. We are a little, tired." They nodded as we went to settle in our bed, and we ended up turning on the news. "...And now following the royal scandal story. An Exclusive! A royal baby was born out of wedlock, seen here..." Snow White gestured to the video of me and Ben leaving the hospital, but that didn't infuriate me as much as the fact they got a clear view of my baby! MY BABY! "Poor King Ben, has no idea his fiancée is a two bit, lying cheating no class whore, confirmed, as the child is 2 months premature. Who is the father? What did they name her? And what will be the fall out of this revelation?" I was fuming, as Ben turned off the TV.
Evie: ~Attaches a picture of the news headlines, a picture of the baby with the caption of 'The illegit Bastard child of Lady Mal and King Ben!'~ Ben, don't tell Mal...
Mal: Evie. We'll deal with this tomorrow.
Ben frowned and said "Damn it. Mal, I'm so sorry. I swear. I'll set this all straight, don't worry honey."
The next day, we woke up and got ready, before Amiracle cried. "I got her." I quickly changed her, before we went out to the castle, where Snow White was waiting. "And we're Live from Castle Beast! This is Snow White reporting. I have here King Ben and Lady Mal, ready to give us an in depth exclusive! King Ben How do you feel knowing your fiancée cheated?" Ben said "Okay this is where I'm drawing the line. Mal did not cheat on me, and I know that for a fact. Because we got a DNA test at the hospital!" That part was a lie, but the kingdom didn't need to know. "The baby is mine. I don't know what low life is trying to slander my wife and child's name, but try it again, and I will drop kick you off to the isle!" I felt Ben pull me and Amiracle into his side. "I get things get taken out of context, but whoever is spreading the heinous lies, attacking my wife and child's name, I will find you, and take you down myself, and that goes for anyone who dares to slander my reputation, My wife's reputation and our child's! I'm not going to tolerate any amount of disrespect. You are urged if you have any information on who is spreading these lies or are that person you are being demanded to come to the castle and surrender." Snow said "King Ben the timeline doesn't fit."
I took a deep breath this time, before saying "We know that. But we do not owe you an explanation. All you need to know is our child is healthy despite being 3 months early. That's all you need to know." Amiracle whimpered uncomfortably. "It's alright sweetheart. Mommy's here. Mommy's got you." I said as I rocked her, keeping her face from view. Ben kissed her head. "Daddy's here too, our little Amiracle." "Amiracle?! What kind of name is that!?" Snow White asked. I had forgotten she was there. Ben said "It's her name, and a name that is exactly what she is!" "Please at least tell us, her middle name is normal!" "Normal!?" I said, as Ben took Amiracle from me.
"Who is to say what is normal?! I don't think anyone has a right to dictate what's normal, or what's not. Especially when it comes to a child's name. Last I checked that's up to the parent's!" Snow said "Lady..." "It's Queen!" I said, snapping. "I hope you know she'll be set up for a lot of teasing!" I said "That's not your concern. Her father and I love the name, and it states what she is to us. Her name is Amiracle Rose Adamsin, and it literally translates to A miracle, and her middle name is symbolic." We finished the interview, which caused me to turn to Ben, taking Amiracle into my arms. "You did wonderfully Mal." He promised, kissing my head. I smiled. "Thanks Ben. Hopefully there won't be any more trouble..." Ben said "Well if there is, leave it to me. Okay? I don't want you to worry, about anything." I said "We love you." Ben smiled and kissed my lips, and then Amiracle's head. "and I love the both of you. More than anything."
