My King and Princess

Incoming Princess

Mal's POV

I sat in Ben and my bedroom in Auradon waiting on him. I knew he was busy with work and all, but I wanted to tell him the news, I wanted to tell him that he was going to be a father. "Ben!!" I called as I fixed my purple hair. "Yes, Mal?" Ben asked. "I'm pregnant," I replied. "Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a father!" Ben said as he hugged me. I winced as Ben hugged me as tight as he could. I loved him he was my husband after all, but I just hope he learns to be gentle with the baby. "Ben too tight...." I gasped. "Oops, sorry," Ben replied. "It's alright, just... remember, there's someone else in the mix now." I said as I put my hands on my belly. He nodded, a sheepish grin still plastered on his face. "Right, gentleness. Got it." Ben replied. I watched as he processed the news, the reality of being a father gradually sinking in. His hand found its way to my belly, and I could see the gears turning in his mind. "Wow, I mean, I can't believe this is happening. We're going to have a baby," Ben whispered, his voice almost reverent. I nodded as I thought of some baby names. "I like the name Beatrice," Ben said. "For a girl?" I asked. Ben nodded. "I like it," I said. I kissed Ben on the lips as I rubbed my belly and ate some strawberries. I knew being the queen of Auradon, plus having a baby, was gonna be hard, but I knew with my husband and King, Ben by my side, we would get through it. As I sat next to Ben, I felt a kick from my belly. "Ben, I think the baby likes the strawberries," I said.
