Ben POV

My dad just finished getting the grand elevator installed yesterday. I still find it hilarious that that's even a thing . Both Mal and I are healing nicely. She now only had to wear a boot when she walks and I have to wear a brace on my arm. So far Uma hasn't presented any real problems for Mal and myself but I'm still on my toes about her. I hear a snap.

" hey Ben! King obviously cute! The elevator is here!" Mal says as she snaps her fingers to regain my attention. We are currently on our way to the

weekly bore fest , erm council meeting. Today's meeting is being led by Snow White. I'm uneasy about this meeting because it's directed towards me and Mal about the do's and don'ts of having royal children. It's all stuff my parents have told me before . The only thing that's going to happen is that everyone's desire for me to have an heir will be shoved down my throat. Hand in hand Mal and I step off the elevator and make our way to the council room. Silently twisting the golden knob Mal and I slip into the room and sit in our seats up front. The other royals seem to be debating about when Mal and I should try for an heir. I clear my throat to acquire the attention of the room.

Mal POV

I completely blank out during the meeting, and before I knew it Ben and I were in our room. Ben gives me an all too knowing look as he grins.

" you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asks, already knowing my answer.

" that the sooner an heir comes the better." I reply with a giggle as he nods in confirmation. He captures my lips with his and I push his suit jacket off him before I sling his tie on a nearby bed post. His shirt is next and then he pulls my dress up an over my head, depositing it on the floor , followed by his pants. We settle on our bed and get caught up in a heated make out session. Before we could go any further , a knock on our door shot up our spines. We darted to the bathroom and threw our robes on, I wrap my hair in a towel to make the look more convincing. I sit on the bed as Ben opens the door, revealing Evie and dizzy.

" I just wanted to let you know that Doug and I are going out tonight, and dizzy is spending the night with Charlotte, Chad's sister." Evie informed us, twirling one of her curls around her finger. Ben and I express our understanding as both girls walk away. Ben shuts the door, locks it and throws his robe back in the bathroom. I follow suit.

" let's get back to it. We have unfinished business." Ben says with a smirk as he walks toward me, discarding his arm brace on the bedside table. I unstrap my boot and place it by the bed.

" May I?" Ben asks pointing at my bra. I smirk evilly and tell him to go for it. We continue this routine until no cloth remains on our bodies. Ben lays me down on the bed and begins, thrusting in and out of me.

" I know you can do better then that." I say calling him out." Put your hips into it." He heeds my advice as he slams his lips onto mine and his hips into me. I can't stop laughing as he continues. He joins in and soon are laughs sync up. As he pushes in and out my ankle starts to hurt but I don't say anything. My nails dig into his shoulders and the pain associated with this starts to be overtake me. It becomes to much to handle so I shriek out. Ben comforts me by stroking my cheek and kissing me once more. Purple hair becomes plastered to my forehead and we both begin to breathe heavily. I feel something so weird and then the exhaustion sets in, I start to doze off and eventually i enter dreamland.

Ben POV

I wake up wrapped in my blanket, with my wife in my arms. Sweat still covers both of our faces and new sense of exhilaration overtakes me. I kiss Mal's forehead to wake her up, before I go retrieve my articles of clothing from the floor. Replacing my under garments I go find some fresh clothes to put on. I also pick something out for Mal. She is out of the bed when I reenter the room, wearing her lingerie. I help her back into her boot before I hand her an outfit. My brace finds it's way back on my arm before I comb my hair and make myself presentable once more, Mal follows my lead and we then head downstairs for breakfast , savoring the events of last night, sharing all too knowing grins from across the table.

Mal POV

I wake up and immediately dart to toilet bowl, expelling everything I ate last night. Ben notices and comes to hold my purple locks back. As soon as I finish getting sick i locate the pregnancy test I put back, my hands shake so much , so Ben opens it. He holds my hand the entire time I take the test. Once I complete it I set it face down on the counter, nervous to see the result.

" do you want me to look first?" Ben asks.

" together." I mutter. I flip the white stick over to reveal two blue lines, positive. Ben picks me up and twirls me around as I giggle. Keeping me in his arms he takes me to the now hospital wing of the castle as an indoor walkway was constructed between here and there. Dr. Royale calls us back to an ultrasound room, as I show her the pregnancy test.

" let's just check to make sure it's right." She says as she rubs the cold gel on my belly before rubbing the wand to perfect spot.

" I can safely say that you appear to be pregnant, we will have to run blood work to confirm and determine how long it's been." She says as a nurse enters the room. I look away as the needle plunged into my arm, taking blood. A band aid gets placed on the site as the nurse exits with the sample stating that she'll be back in a few minutes. Dr. Royale continues the ultrasound. As the picture becomes larger I notice 3 little blobs.

" from what I can see here it appears that there are multiple babies, but we won't know until the blood screen comes back." The doctor says as the nurse renters the room with the blood report.

"You're HCG levels are high for a single birth and even a twin birth , but are completely normal for a triplet birth. It also says you're 11 weeks along . I should be able to determine both genders if you want." Dr. Royale tells us. Ben and I have a conversation with our eyes and decide to find out the genders. We inform the doctor of our decision and she refocuses the ultrasound.

" ok baby one and two are both girls and baby three is a boy." Dr. Royale says. Tears start to flow down my face causing me to curse the hormones. Ben takes my hand and kisses my cheek,expressing how happy I am. The doctor cleans me up and sets up my next appointment . Ben and I walk back to the castle excited to share the big news, as I silently vow to not be like my mother.
