Mal's Prov
It had been a crazy few days. Ben and I were overjoyed and spent every possible second we could with Rose, which lets face it, was ever second. Today was Sunday, the day Rose could finally come home. Come home to her family.
Evie had made the most ADORABLE onesie. It was a raspberry red, with purple and pink writing on it. 'Little Princess of Auradon.' She was right about me loving it. I was putting it on Rose, after I changed her while Ben was getting the bag ready.
"Ben? Are you sure we have everything enough for the trip home?" I asked. Ben nodded and said "I promise, We do." I nodded and said "Sorry. I'm just freaking out. I Want to be doubly sure we have everything."
"I know, I've packed the bag, and double packed. But I did find something... But I don't know where it came from." I looked up to Ben and said "What is it?" He held up a soft looking blanket in a peachy pink color and a small little lamb. I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. "Maybe your mom brought them for her." I suggested, as I tried to Buckle Rose in the car seat, that Jay, Lonnie, Carlos and Jane, chipped in and got us. "Ben?" I called.
He came over, and said "here. Let me help." He helped me buckle her in. "I still can't believe she's coming home. I never thought she would." Ben kissed my head, and said "I know, Honestly I didn't either. But I'm so happy she can. And the Limo is on the way." I grinned, before getting dressed since Rose was fast asleep, with her daddy hovered over her.
We finally left the hospital, and I got in the limo first, then Ben handed Rose's car seat in to me, before climbing in himself. "No reporters... Odd." I heard Ben say as we got Rose's car seat on the base.
"Maybe they thought to let us be?" We started laughing, at my suggestion, before Ben said "I don't think so. Maybe they thought the worst happened. We'll make sure to set them straight." I laid my head on Ben's shoulder, as The limo driver drove home. I yawned, as I snuggled close.
We finally got home, and We went to our room. I got Rose out of her car seat, nursing her before laying her in the swing, turning it on, smiling when it played soft sleepy music as it gently swung her. I had it on the lowest setting. I laid down on the bed, letting Ben caress my shoulder. "Get some sleep M. You just fed her she'll be Okay for a little while." I yawned once more, before drifting asleep.
I woke a few hours later to Rose's soft crying. I went over and immediately picked her up. "Mommy's here honey." I changed her and nursed her. "M? hows our little Princess?" I looked up startled at first at the sound of Ben's voice. I said "Perfect. Just eating." Ben sat next to me, and kissed my head. "I still can't believe, We got to take her home." I said, as I kissed her head, gently.
I rocked her gently, as she finished nursing and cuddled into my chest. "I had made a special dish request for you." Ben stated, with a smile. I said "Is it my favorite dish?" I asked. Ben chuckled and said "I want it to be a surprise. Also I rented our favorite movie, to watch, so dinner and dessert in bed, with my beautiful wife and our beautiful perfect daughter."
I grinned, and said "That actually sounds heavenly!" Ben said "I know, which is exactly what I had planned." I laughed sweetly. "Hey did the bassinet come?" Ben shook his head and said "not yet, or not when I was out there. She did sleep good in the swing, maybe that can be where she sleeps for a little bit, till the bassinet comes." I said "Maybe. When is it supposed to come?"
Ben said "Tonight or tomorrow." I nodded, as I handed Rose to her father. "I'm gonna hop in the shower before dinner... I smell like hospital." We both laughed at that. "Go on. I'll take one after you. Lumiere said it'll take a little bit, an hour at most." I nodded and said "Perfect. Oh Crap. Remember the cream the docs called in? The one to help the healing of the stitches? and the one to help with the scars?" I asked. "I remember. I'm gonna see if they are ready then send someone to get them or go get them tomorrow, while I am grabbing some more stuff." I nodded, before showering gently, and carefully. I finished, and changed into my favorite pair of Ben's pajamas, before entering the room, to see my sleeping daughter, in the swing, and Ben getting ready to get in the shower. "Aren't those my Pajamas?" He said, with a smirk. "Don't you mean OUR pajamas?" He chuckled. "Make yourself comfortable"
I sat on the bed, while he showered.
Mal to Evie: Hey, I just saw your text now, the one from earlier saying 'Mal. I need an emergency Isle Girls meeting' What's up? Sorry I've been sleeping since we got home.
Evie to Mal: When can I come over to talk to you, and Shane?
Mal to Evie: Tomorrow say 10?
Evie to Mal: Great! Thank you!
I grinned as Ben came in. "Let me guess Evie's coming over tomorrow while Rose is down?" I nodded, and said "Yes... She needs an 'Isle Girls Meeting.' Just us girls from the Isle, The older ones." Ben nodded, and said "Sounds good, and the creams will be ready in the morning, So I'll head out first thing." We cuddled Rose and watched our movies, and ate our dinner and dessert.
In the morning I woke early, and got dressed. I quickly made a list, of everything we'd need from the store. Ben woke and said "Morning my queen. You seem to be moving better." I said "I am." He got ready quickly and gave me a kiss. "I'll be back soon." I kissed him back gently before I handed him the list. "These are some things we need, from the store..."
"I'll try to get them all while I'm at the store." He replied taking the list from my hands. "I'll be back in a couple hours." I nodded before I nursed Rose, and got her dressed. At 10 am on the dot, Shane and Evie were sitting with me in mine and Ben's room. "So Evie, what's going on?"
"I'm pregnant..." She whispered. Shane and I said "Did you tell Doug? How far along are you?"
Rose started crying, causing me to go get her. "Momma's here baby." I said Picking her up, she cuddled into me. "Let me hold her Mal." Shane said. I said "I'm sorry... Only Ben and I can hold her right now." "Oh..." Evie and Shane said sadly. I said "Sorry."
Cogsworth came in and said "Your majesty, someone's delivering a package and it needs a signature from strictly you or the King." I said "I'll be right there..." I excused myself from the girls and went to sign the papers. "Cogsworth can you bring this to mine and Ben's room please?" I said before returning to the bedroom. Rose in my arms, still. I sat on the bed. "Sorry, Ben ordered something for Rose." I explained.
"So Evie, answer our questions!" We begged. Evie said "No I haven't told Doug... and I'm like 4 or 6 weeks pregnant... I just found out today... I don't even know if Doug wants children..." I said "I'm sure he does. Did you see the way his eyes lit up at the hospital when you guys Met Rose?" Evie smiled, a bit at it. "He did. But that wasn't his baby... What if we aren't ready?" I said "E, You're never really ready. Hell, Look at me and Ben. We had Rose 4 months early. Ben's Dad had to get her room ready, AND they got everything took over running the country, AND told the country about the baby. We still don't have everything. But I know you and Doug will be more prepared then Ben and I are."
Evie Smiled a bit, before saying "Thanks for saying that M. I appreciate it." I smiled, and said "Your so welcome." Just then there was a knock on the door "IS it safe?" Ben's sweet, voice said as he entered. I felt Rose stir in my arms, as she fussed. "Awe come here Rosie. Give mommy a break." Ben said as he took Rose, who cuddled into her father. "Did you see Doug or Dizzy out and about?" Evie asked. Ben nodded and said "They were on their way home." Evie said "I'll head home now. And M?" I looked up before giving her a hug. "You don't have to Thank me, E. It's my job as Queen and Your best friend."
She gave us all a big hug, before she left. Ben smiled, sitting next to me.
