The Descendants' Descendants (Multi-Ship)

*4*

Uma and Harry laid in bed in Uma's dorm room after getting back from visiting Evie at the hospital.

"Do you think Evie will be okay for the rest of her pregnancy?" Uma asked.

"I'm sure she will be, love," Harry replied.

"What if we lose our baby?!" she questioned, panicked.

"Hey, don't think about that," Harry answered. "It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay and Shelley is going to be okay."

"But should we put a plan in place in case it does happen?" she asked.

"No," he replied. "Because it's not going to happen." He cupped her cheek and kissed her softly. "We're all going to be okay," he added. "You need to trust that, Uma."

All of a sudden, Mal burst into the room. "Out, Hook," she demanded, pointing her thumb toward the door.

"Obligingly, Your Majesty," he smiled sarcastically, striding out of the room with Mal glaring playfully at him.

She shut the door with a bang and jumped onto Uma's bed. "We're all around about three months now, right?" Mal asked.

"Well, yeah," Uma replied.

"Right, so how about, in three or four months, we have the biggest joint baby shower Auradon has ever seen?!" Mal replied with a crazy look in her eyes.

"Do we really need three to four months to plan this?" Uma asked, rolling her eyes.

"Yes!" Audrey exclaimed, barging into the room. "It has to be lavish, spectacular! I say, we go with a 'blue and pink' theme!"

"No, it should be a 'purple and green' theme," Mal argued. "Pink and blue is so stereotypical and boring. We need to step outside the box if it's going to the biggest and best baby shower in all of Auradon."

Audrey groaned before saying, "Okay, I guess you have a point."

"We should have it in the coronation hall," Mal added. "If it's going to be big, we're going to need the hall. Get Fairy Godmother to bibbidi-bobbidi-boo some decorations everywhere."

"Three to four months?" Uma snorted. "You guys just organised it in three to four minutes."

"No we haven't!" Audrey exclaimed in defense. "We haven't picked the caterers, the staff, any of the help!"

"Well you can do that in your room," Uma replied. "I have an ultrasound in half an hour and I still need to shower." She ushered the two princesses out of her room and closed the door.

"I'm three months now, Ben," Mal sighed as she laid down on the examination table. "We can tell everyone."

"Do you want to do it tomorrow?" Ben replied.

"No, today," she said. "I've been three months for three days now. It's time."

"Okay," he smiled. "I'll organise the press." He pulled out his phone and emailed all the media outlets to be outside the castle at 4pm that afternoon.

The doctor came in. "Okay, ready for another chance to see that beautiful unborn royal?" she announced, and the young couple nodded. The gel was placed on and the transducer began to wander Mal's stomach. "Now, you'll have to wait a month to find out if you're having a boy or a girl," the doctor told them. "If you want to try wives' tales, there's a few I can suggest. Like, for instance, pee in a small cup. Add a tablespoon of Drano and see how the color changes. If your pee changes to green it's a girl. If the pee changes to blue, it's boy. Another one is to use a key. Intentionally drop a key and pick it up without looking. If you picked it up by the round end, legend says you're expecting a boy. If it's by the pointy end of the key, you're having a girl. There's also the classic one where if you're carrying your bump low, you're having a baby boy. If you're rocking a higher bump, expect to have a girl."
