****Mal's POV*****

(Before Ben and the others show up)

It had been 14 months since I left. But I am sure Ben is living a great life as King.

I gave birth to my lovely daughter Lucille Evelyn Beast or Lulu as everyone calls her 5 months ago. I fell in love with her instantly. She has a streak of Purple in her hair but other than that looks just like her dad. She has Ben's eyes with specks of green in them. She might only be 4 months old but she is as happy as ever.

She loves to go in our backyard and play in the sand or go in the water. She is able to sit up witch is extrodinary. She is on the tiny size for her age but thats fine, she can stay my little baby forever.

I always wondered what would happen if I ever saw Ben again.

Lulu always goes down for a nap at 1:00 which she hates but falls asleep after a while. I was putting her down one day and boy she did not want me to leave her. I heard the doorbelle ring and cursed under my breath.

"Lulu I will be right back. Play with your toys and then I will come back for you." I promised her. She instantly went quiet and I set her down in her crib. I through in her blocks and stuffed animals and quickly ran downstairs.

"Hey, sorry it took so long I had to put Lulu down for a n-" I looked up and realized it had been the people I had been avoiding for the past year and a half.

"Hey" was all they said back.

"Sup" was all came out of my mouth. "Mal can we come in?" Ben asked. "Sure, close the door once you are all in." I directed them to a sitting room by the window.

"Everyone took a seat and we all just sat there for a couple of minutes until Evie broke the tension.

"Mal, we have all missed you so much. We are so glad we found you" Evie laughed. That made me smile. I missed hearing Evie's jumpy voice and her laugh.

"I think there is one thing we are all wondering about. Why did you leave mal, it had been what 14 months and we didn't hear from you" Ben said his Voice raising at the end.

I cringed at the last part. I really hopped Lucille didn't start crying but my luck must have been off that day becuase she started wailing.

"S**t " I cussed under my breath. "Excuse me one moment" I said as I hurried to go quiet down my baby. But as I was on the stares I could hear Evie wispher to Ben, " Follow her."

"Hey, Lulu, Mommy's here. Shhhh. It okay" I picked her up and rocked her slightly. She quiet down and I was realived.

I heard the door creak open and I turned to see Ben (thanks to Evie since she made him go up there) standing there.

"Hey Mal, who is this?" Ben asked. "This is Lucille Evelyn Beast" I wisphered. Ben took a step closer and I hugged Lucille closer to me.

"Is this the reason you left?" He asked. "Yeah, I was afraid this would ruin your chance to be a great king and it would make alot of things go on hold." I was full on crying now.

"Can I hold her Mal?" Ben asked. I handed Lulu to him and they instantly took a liking to eachother. She smiled so big and after staring at him for a good solid 2 minutes she placed her head on his shoulder.

"Mal come back to the castel with me." Ben pleaded. "I don't know." Ben placed Lucille in my arms and he took a ring box out of his pocket and got down on one knee right in front of me and Proposed.
