This is my first fan fiction I've ever written but I've had this idea for a while now. Later on in the story I will be referring to the book 'The Beast Within' for some character names and a little bit of the plot/backstory. I recommend you read it :) Well I hope you enjoy my fan fiction, I'm having fun writing it. I also do not own Beauty and The Beast, though i wish i did. Enjoy.

It was finally the end of another long day. Dealing with papers to sign and responsible decisions to make they were both very busy most of the time. Belle and Adam had dinner that night but Adam had a couple of things to take care of before going to sleep next to his wife. The curse had been broken and the couple had been married for a little over two years. He made his way to the west wing almost at a sprinting pace. He would always look forward to the end of the day so he could finally have some alone time with Belle. She was his reason to keep going and make it through the day. He would get tiresome of the princely duties he had to attend to all day but he would try to push aside his temper and lack of patience for her. Belle had truly changed him and he was forever grateful to have such a beautiful and caring woman in his life. He finally came to their bedroom door and smiled as he pushed the doors open to find Belle on the balcony staring into the distance as if in a daydream. Belle hadn't changed and he never wanted her to change. She looked so beautiful under the moonlight in her silk nightgown. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled his head between her neck and shoulder. Belle smiled and leaned back towards her husband. He gently ran his hands over her growing belly. They were expecting their first child.

"How's the little one?" Adam asked his head still upon her shoulder. His face still buried in her hair. She always smelt so good, like honey.

"Wonderful" she smiled and turned to face him. She could never get over how beautiful he was. The long light auburn hair, his full lips, those eyes. She could never forget those bright blue eyes.

"And how's the mom to be?" Adam said as he took her hands.

"Better now that you're finally here." He lifted her chin to meet his gaze, he put his hand behind her neck and gently kissed her. If he could he would kiss her for hours.

They broke apart smiling at each other. "Well we should probably get some sleep we have a lot to do tomorrow." Belle said as she walked to the bed to lay down.

Adam walked to his side of the bed and took off his shirt and trousers and pulled the covers back to lay down next his wife. He snuggled in close to her and he continued the conversation "I don't see why we have to start decorating the baby's room right now though. The baby won't be born for another 3 months." He said as he ran his fingers through Belle's thick brunette hair.

She looked up at him from her head on his chest, smiled and said "Better to be prepared than unprepared."

He chuckled "That sounds like something Cogsworth would say." She let out a gentle laugh and they were silent as he played with her hair till she fell asleep and he too eventually drifting off into his slumber.

Belle woke up the next morning to find the bed oddly cold. She slowly opened her eyes to adjust to the sunlight coming from the balcony. Still groggy feeling she sat up and saw Adam wasn't next to her. She yawned and stretched and got out of bed to get dressed in a simple gown. She couldn't wear her complicated dresses due to the fact of her growing belly. After she got dressed she went on a hunt to find Adam, he had the whole day cleared to focus on getting stuff done for the baby. She walked down hallways passing servants to finally find him in the library. He was in her favorite chair reading a book.

"There you are!" She laughed "I've been looking for you." She sat down in the chair across from him. He didn't say anything. She looked at his face it had worried written all of it.

He looked up from his book to look at her. "Belle.. what if i dont make a good father." He said sheepishly. He'd been thinking about this ever since Belle told him she was pregnant. Himself not having a mother or father as a child he was scared he wouldn't know how to be one.

"What makes you think that? I've seen you and chip together your'e wonderful with him." She said reassuring him.

He smiled weakly "I just.. didn't have a father to look up to and learn from. How do i know if i'm doing everything right?"

Belle stood and sat on his lap "Adam, i know for a fact you will make an amazing father. I didn't have a mother growing up. I'm terrified ill admit." She chuckled "But i know we will be great. It'll come naturally. We can work at it together." She smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

"Where would I be without you?" He said as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him.

"Well you'd still be a beast in an enchanted castle." She answered giving a small giggle.

He laughed "Thank you Belle."

She raised an eyebrow "For what?" He looked into her eyes "For everything, for changing me and breaking the curse for carrying our first child." He said rubbing her stomach he looked back into her eyes and continued "I literally couldn't have done it without you. I'm forever grateful to you."

She cupped his cheek "Well you are very welcome, Love." She laughed "I love you so much." He kissed her "I love you too, darling"

She stood up "Come now, let's go. I'm sure Cogsworth is looking for us, we have decorating to do." She said smiling at him. He took her hand and they headed towards the dinning hall for breakfast and there stood Cogsworth waiting for them.

Cogsworth quickly bowed as they entered the room. They ate their breakfast and followed Cogsworth to their future baby's room. it was across the hall from their room in the West Wing. Through out the day they were asked this color or that? This fabric or that? Furniture was pilling in the room. It was all coming together and becoming more real. Belle was excited, nervous but excited. Once the room was mostly put together Adam told Belle he has a surprise for her and to wait in the library for him to come get her. As she waited she read a book of poems. Just as she was about to finish the book Adam came in with a smile on his face. He placed his hands in front of her and took her hands in his and lead her to their future baby's room.

He was about to open the door then quickly shut it and turned to her with a smirk and said "Close your eyes" she smiled and did what he said. He led her into the room and opened the curtains her smile widening with anticipation.

"Can i open them?" She said with excitement "Okay open." He replied and what stood in front of her was the most beautiful crib she has ever seen. It was made out of the finest wood and had so much detail. It had roses carved into the frame with angels and some exquisite line work. She just stared at it's beauty.

She turned around to her husband in awe "It's so beautiful Adam!" She smiled wide and her heart fluttering. She walked over to him and kissed him passionately he pulled her close to him and ran his hand up her back. Adam broke the romantic kiss and kissed her forehead and said "Come, dinner should be ready by now." he smiled and took her hand and led her to the dinning hall. They had dinner together but all Adam could think about was if he would make a good father. He knew he had changed into a better man he just wanted their child to see that he was a good man. He wanted to make he or she proud. 'We can work at it together.'is what Belle had told him earlier.'Yes we will and we will be amazing' He thought to himself.
