When The Dark Fairy Met The Light

He Won't Be There When You Need Him

*9 months later*

(Maleficent's POV)

I am staring at my naked self in the mirror. This baby is HUGE. I've got my hands around the bump (which is the size of a watermelon) and it's very heavy. I'm really over due but I've heard that first babies come really late. I've also heard that first babies hurt a lot more to push out. Yikes. That does not sound exciting. Especially since I won't have my husband (and this kid's father) there with me. Sometimes I wake up one morning and I can't even get up because the baby is sitting at the bottom of my belly. And I can't get any sleep because the baby kicks my bladder a lot which means I spend 70% of my night in the loo. I hope that when it's born it knows what it's put me through. And it moves a lot. It's trying to get comfortable inside my too - small body right now. It touches a limb and I wince but it's still on the move so it passes quickly. When it eventually gets comfortable against my left arm it starts to kick. I hold my right hand next to its foot as breathe deeply as it kicks. It starts doing the same as I can feel it blowing bubbles inside me. It's a sweet kid really. I suppose it can't help who it's father is. I will teach my child to be one of the most evil villain kids on this island.

I have gotten dressed in one of the only things that still sort of fits me. I am standing at the balcony with my cup of black-as-your-soul coffee. Really is black as your soul. Brings me back to the cup that Hades gave me the day before he left. I am staring out at the other villans and sidekicks with my hand on the baby's head from where it is sat in my stomach. I gently stroke the bump as the baby kicks me.

I can't unsee what I've just seen. Maleficent, my ex wife Maleficent, is pregnant?! With my baby? She might just be pregnant with someone else's baby. But she looks quite far along. Just face up to it hades. Maleficent is pregnant with your kid. You're going to be a dad. I ran home after that and screamed in excitement. I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!!!

I can remember saying that the baby is a sweet kid really. I take it all back. I'm sat on my bed right now trying to get it out. If it's not born in the next hour then I'm abandoning it. The contractions are UNBEARABLE. The most HORRENDOUS pain I've ever felt. Worse the most terrible hangover. Worse than the time when I was stabbed in the chest by blasted Prince Philip. This is the point in my life when I would've needed Hades more than ever. Except he's not here. AND WHY AM I MOANING ABOUT IT? Because not only do I need him here, but I want him here. Not just for me, but for the baby too. Anyway, I am pretty much giving up at this point. I have stood. I have paced. I have lied flat in my bed and NOTHING MAKES IT ANY BETTER!! This baby better be worth it.
