Mal was sitting in the castle library reading her favourite greek book. This was her favorite place to be, because it was quiet and peaceful. She was so deep into her book she didn't even notice or hear someone enter the library, until they placed a big bowl of cookies and cream ice cream with chocolate covered strawberries in front of her face. She looked at the bowl in surprise and turned to see her mother-in-law standing there with a smile on her face, looking at her

"Oh. Belle. You didn't have to do that?" Mal said as she took the bowl from the former queen and placed her book to the side at the small table.

" I know that I didn't have to, but I want my grandbaby to be fat and chucky." she said as she rubbed Mal's huge baby belly. Yes, you are right , she is 9 months pregnant with her and Ben's first child.

Mal laughed as she took one of the strawberries and took a bite out of it. "Belle. I think that they are going to be. I mean l am the size of a whale. I am starting to get the idea that Doc misread the ultrasound and that I am pregnant with twins." she said with a laugh.

"Don't get my hopes up Mal. I would love to have 20 babies in this castle." she said as she sat down next to her, placing Mal's feet on her legs.

"So have you and Ben thought of any names?" Belle asked as he watched her daughter-in-law indulge in her ice cream.

Mal nodded her head as she swallowed what was in her mouth. "Yeah. we came up for a name for both genders. But it is a hush hush until they are born." she said, making Belle laugh.

"I was that way with Ben, before he was born. My father was trying very hard to know our name before he was born." she said as she started to rub Mal's ankles.

"I have no preference on gender, but I really love the names that we picked." Mal gushed as she put another scoop of ice cream into her mouth. "I just hope that they do not have my hair color, no matter how many times Ben says he wants them to." Mal said with a full mouth.

Belle laughed. "I was hoping Ben would have Adam's eye, but he ended up having mine. So don't wish it too hard." she said as she took a strawberry off Mal's bowl and dipped it into the ice cream before putting it into her mouth and moaning at the taste.

"What was Ben's girl name, if he was a girl?" Mal asked.

"Penelope." Belle said with a small smile. "I loved that name when I was younger and I was a little sad when I didn't have a daughter, but I wouldn't change having Ben for the world." she said with a warm smile. "Plus. Having him brought you into our lives." she said, making Mal smile brightly at her.

"So, how was Ben when he was a baby?" Mal asked suddenly.

"Well ben was a very good baby. But when he was a toddler. My goodness. Trying to get him to keep his pants on was a chore in itself." she said, making Mal laugh out loud. "I don't know how many times we were surprised by a two year old Ben running in a room naked from the waist down." she said laughing loudly.

Mal was laughing so hard she was crying. She was holding her side and because it started to ache from laughing so much, until she felt a sharp pain and a gush of water through her legs.

"Oh. Mal. It's okay. Well have them cleaned and we will get you changed." Belle said as she stood up to help Mal up and to her room.

Mal kept her hand firmly on the side of her stomach. "Umm…I don't think that this is the type of accident you think it is, Belle." she said as she looked up at her mother-in-law. "My water just broke." She said and whimpered in pain.

Belle's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god. Oh my god!" Belle screamed so loudly, that anyone could think that someone was attacked.

A couple seconds later Ben and Adam came running into the library to see what the screaming was about.

"What? What's wrong?" Ben asked worriedly as he walked around the couch.

Mal looked up at her husband and smiled. "Oh it's nothing." She said, shaking her head with a small pain filled smile "It's just your child has decided that they want to be born today." She said as she tried to stand up, but was hit with a contraction, making her bend over to clutch the table in front of her.

"Shit! No way!" Ben said as he went to help Mal. "Dad, can you go and get our bag? It's in the nursery." He said, but when he turned his dad who nodded and went out the door.

Once her contraction passed, she let Ben help her up and started to talk her to the car. Adam followed behind them, while Belle was crying. They climbed in the car. Ben and Mal in the back. Adam drives with Belle in the passenger seat.

"Just breathe, Mal." Ben said as he rubbed small circles on her back. "Remember your breathing exercises." He said.

She nodded her head and then looked at him. "I just have one request." She said to him. He looked at her and nodded. "Our child will not run around the castle naked from the waist down." She said with a small laugh.

He looked at her with a confused look and the. Widened his eyes when he realized what she was talking about. He looked at his mother who had stopped crying and was now covering her mouth trying not to laugh. "MOM!"

"I'm sorry Ben, but its true" Belle said whilst laughing with mal and her husband.
Ben groaned with embarrassment as he hid his face in his arms, momentarily forgetting that his wife is in labour.

After 20 minutes of driving, they finally reached the hospital, where mal was wheeled into a room , where she will be giving birth. Meanwhile belle called their friends to inform them that mal was in labour.

After half an hour the courfour along with their partners, and Audrey and chad reached the hospital. They could hear mal whimpering, along with Ben's soft words.

Back at the room,
"Your labour is critical, queen Mal. So it will cause you a lot of pain" a nurse said while Ben squeezed Mal's hand.

"It will be okay, mal. It will be okay. I love you" Ben said amd kissed her forehead.
After hours of screaming, whimpering and shouting Prince Hayden Benjamin Adam Beast was born, the heir to the throne of Auradon. The mother and child both were okay, and ben was over the moon happy to finally become a dad as he was continuously kissing mal as to thank her.

Now, it was time for them to live their happily ever after with their newborn son, family, friends and future children[(if they have!! Who knows;)]
