We Belong - a Descendants story (Bal)

Chapter 5

3th POV

Recap
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Ben,' Mal said.

'What?' he asked, frustrated.

'I'm pregnant,' she told him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ben stared at her in shock. 'Y- you're what...?'

'I'm pregnant,' she said.

'No, you're not,' he said, not wanting to believe it.

'Yes, I am,' she scoffed.

Ben began walking back to his dorm.

'Where are you going?' she asked, walking with him.

He didn't answer but just kept walking.

'Ben, come on,' she said, but he just ignored her.

She stood still, watching him walk away. He was in denial, just like she had been. Trying to come up with all kinds of theories on how she could not actually be pregnant.

He needed time to process it, she figured. So she let him alone and walked back to the cafeteria.

Just when she was walking into the cafeteria, the bell rang.

Time for her conversation with Fairy Godmother.

___________________________________________________________________________

'So, how was your conversation with Fairy Godmother this morning?' Evie asked when Mal walked to their table during lunch.

'She just asked me what happened and why I went back to the Isle and stuff like that,' Mal said. 'And of course why I came back.'

'Well, everyone has been asking me that same question since breakfast,' Evie said.

'What do they expect you to say?' Mal asked.

'They probably just hope for some juicy story,' Evie said.

'Dirty,' Mal grinned.

'Shut up,' she said.

'Sorry, that was my twelve year old self speaking,' she said grinning.

'Hi guys,' Jay said when he and Carlos joined them.

'So how were your first classes?' Carlos asked Mal.

'I haven't had any yet,' she told them. 'Starting tomorrow again.'

'Lucky,' Jay said.

'And how many times have you heard "you're back?"?' Carlos asked.

'Even Jesus hasn't heard that so many times,' she said.

'Hey,' Troy said standing by their table.

'Hi, where have you been?' Evie asked him.

'Well, I'm actually looking for Ben,' he said. 'Have you seen him by any chance?'

'No,' Jay said. 'I think he wasn't even in class.'

'I know, he always does his king work on Thursday afternoons,' Troy said. 'So I figured he must've skipped lunch or something and be in his dorm behind his desk, but he's not.'

'He's not in his dorm?' Mal asked.

He shook his head. 'I'm gonna check the tourney field.'

'Have you talked to Ben yet, by the way?' Jay asked Mal.
