*Mal's POV*

It was now the eighth of January which meant a couple of things; I was now thirty six weeks pregnant but most importantly it was my wedding day and Ben's birthday. Me and Ben decided to get married a month before the baby was born; yes we probably should have gotten married before now but we didn't want a rushed wedding. We wanted the time to make our wedding perfect - given the circumstances. We also felt that a month before the wedding was an acceptable time as this would give us a month to get sorted before our baby arrived.

I was now in the closed roof carriage that had just pulled to a stop outside of Auradon Cathedral; I started to feel nervous but pushed it to one side as I felt a movement in my stomach.

"I know" I chuckled.

"You're nervous too" I said as I stroked my stomach.

"But neither of us have anything to worry about" I said with a smile as I continued to stroke my stomach.

"Your daddy is in there waiting for us and he loves us very much" I finished which made me feel another movement.

"Come on you two" Jay teased.

"Sorry" I said as I looked at Jay in his smart dark red suit.

"I'm nervous" I stated as I felt my hands start to shake. I don't know why I was getting nervous for; I knew that I wanted to marry Ben. As I thought about it a little bit more I think my nerves was down to the fact that most of the officials of the kingdom were now waiting with Ben for me to make my arrival.

"You have no reason to be" Jay said with a small smile.

"Unless?" He asked as he pulled one brow up.

"Unless?" I prompted.

"Mal I think it's my responsibility as the man giving you away to ask you-" he started as he started to get nervous himself. I pulled one brow up in confusion - where was Jay going with this?

"Ask me?" I prompted again.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked.

"Because I can take you away right no-" he stated.

"Jay!" I shouted at him cutting him off. Of course I wanted to marry Ben; how could Jay think this? I knew I was nervous but that didn't mean I didn't want to marry Ben. I started to feel hurt that Jay could feel like this.

"Do you not want me to marry Ben?" I asked as I let hurt hit the tone of my voice.

"I thought you are happy for us" I added.

"I am" he said taking my hand in his.

"I just wanted to make sure" he said before he kissed my hand. I smiled at Jay as hurt washed away from me; of course I couldn't be mad at Jay. He was looking out for me and that is what we what we did for each other.

"I love you brother" I said lovingly.

"I love you sister" he replied as he squeezed my hand.

"Now let's get you married" he said and he stood up and stepped out of the carriage door which made the awaiting public outside start to clap and cheer. Here we go Mal I said to myself, let's go and get married to your soul mate.

"You can now kiss your bride" I heard the Fairy Godmother say proudly. I watched as Ben smiled my favourite crooked smile as he let go of my waist and he slowly removed my veil to reveal my face to him. He smiled at me before he reached over and pressed his lips lovingly against mine. I felt another twinge in my stomach and chose to ignore it; Emma said that this was normal. However I made a mental note to ring and ask her whether they were meant to be this frequent as I had been having them all morning. I heard a cough and me and Ben broke apart and chuckled to each other. I stared into Ben's eyes; there was nothing that could be done now. Me and Ben were bound together and nothing or no one was ever going to tear us apart.

"Come with me wife" Ben said he offered me his arm and lead me to a silver seat that had now been placed at the bottom of the four steps next to us. I knew what was happening next; my coronation as Queen. I normally would have knelt on the floor but with me now being thirty six weeks pregnant this wasn't a possibility. I slowly sat down and watched as the Fairy Godmother was passed Belle's old crown and she stepped towards me. She smiled as she placed the crown on top of my head and I watched as she turned and another footman was there waiting with her wand. She then took the wand and stepped back to me with her trademark smile on her face.

"Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon with justice and mercy along the side of the King of Auradon as long as you both shall reign?" She asked clearly.

"I do solemnly swear" I said proudly.

"It is my honour to bless our new Queen" she said happily as she placed her wand onto my left shoulder then onto my right.

"Ladies and Gentlemen" she started as she turned to the footman and gave her wand back to them as Ben helped me to my feet.

"I would like to introduce to you for the first time, King Benevolent Florian Adams of Auradon and his wife, Queen Maleficent Bertha Adams of Auradon" she declared proudly which made the whole room clap and cheer. I smiled at the congregation but I suddenly felt a very sharp pain in my stomach which made me double over.

"Mal what's wrong?" Ben asked as he wrapped his arms around me to make sure that I didn't fall.

"Mal" he repeated when I didn't answer as I heard the whole room go quiet.

"Aurgh!" I cried out in pain.

"No!" I shouted as I started to feel a gush of water start to run down my legs. No! This can't be happening! I am not ready! I can not give birth to my baby now!

"Mal" Ben said for the third time as I still haven't answered him.

"Ben" I muttered which made him bring his face close to mine.

"I don't want to alarm you" I muttered into his ear.

"But my waters have just brok-" I started but the pain came back.

"Aurgh!" I cried out.

"What?" Ben asked as he still hadn't caught on to what was happening.

"Our baby is ready to be born" I muttered as I started to pant.

"Oh" Ben said as his eyes widened. Before I could say or do anything Ben quickly picked me up bridal style and carried me quickly out of the Cathedral. Shock and gasps filled the room but I didn't care my mind was currently on worrying why my baby was now four weeks early.

Nine hours and a lot of pain later Prince Edward Benevolent Adams was born; I know I might be biased but he is perfect. He looks the spit of Ben apart from two obvious changes. Edward has bright purple hair and has my double dragon birthmark on his left forearm. Me and Ben were both worried that he was a little bit early but Emma and hospital staff weren't concerned (as my home birth had to be cancelled); apparently Edward was healthy just a little bit smaller than he should be.

Me and Ben couldn't stop cuddling and staring at Edward in awe; he was perfect. I couldn't stop smiling when I woke up from a nap and found Ben cuddling Edward and they were both asleep. I slowly slid Edward out of Ben's arms and pulled Edward to my chest. As I watched as Edward's eyes rolled as he snuggled his head into my chest; as he fell back sleep a thought crept into my mind - I was a very lucky woman. In the last two years I had left a place of despair, fell in love, got married and had a baby. And I couldn't wait to see what adventures me, Edward and Ben was going to go on next.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say another big thank you from the bottom of my heart; it meant a lot that you guys have taken the time to read and review this story. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this it; I actually planned for this to go a bit differently but it started to flow and I like what we ended up with.

I just also wanted to make you aware there is also going to be a story coming of this one; however it might take me a little while to start it. So watch this space folks!

Much love RaInBoWsKuLls
