Descendants 4: Is it happily ever after?

Chapter 36

Doug and Evie were on a date. Everything was quiet, peaceful and sweet until a question that Doug asked broke the silence. "Evie, do you think we can get married soon?"

"What do you mean by soon?"

"Like in a month or two." Evie choked. "It's going to be like Christmas wedding."

"Let me get this straight, you want to plan such a big thing as a wedding in a few months?"

"Yup. Is there a problem?"

"I just..."

Are you hiding something?"

"No..." Doug raised his eyebrow. "Fine, there is little thing I haven't told you."

"Which is?"

"Umm, we can't get married...well, not legally."

"I don't understand."

"ImactuallymarriedandIcompletelyunderstandifyoudontwanttobewithmeanymore..." the girl choked out.

"Wait, slow down."

"I said...I'm actually married...and I completely understand if you don't want...to be with me anymore..." she started crying.

"It's okay. Don't worry." Doug said and hugged Evie. "Now, what actually happened?"

"Well, back when I was on the isle and my mom didn't know that I was going to be chosen to go here, she decided to make me get married at the isle cause she thought there was no way out...Long story short I'm married to Gil since I was 15."

"Wow."

"Yeah, and now he's on a world tour..."

"Wait, Jay decided to stay here, I thought Gil agreed."

"Jay decided to stay for some reasons or should I say Lonniesons, whatever, but Gil went to explore the world no matter that his friend stayed here, the point is that he won't be back until September next year, so he can't sign the divorce document which means we can't get married this year, and I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, but I was really scared."

"Don't worry, we'll get through this. I guess that the wedding can wait."

"Thanks." then they kissed.

Meanwhile, Mal was dealing with reporters.

"Mal!"

"Queen Mal!"

"Your majesty!"

"Which week are you pregnant in?"

"What is the gender of the baby?"

"Is your mother still...sorry wrong question!"

The purple-haired girl was really tired cause it wasn't even 9 in the morning and she had answered so many questions. She was just hoping not to turn into a dragon and burn down the reporters, that was going to be fun, but it was going to give some bad expression. Suddenly Fairy Godmother appeared. She cleared her throat. "I don't want to be rude or to ruin your interview, but as I have told you a million times this is and it's always going to be a school, so you have to leave and leave our students to rest."  The crowd was disappointed but left.

"Thanks, Fairy Godmother," Mal said.

"No, problem. How are you doing?"

"Fine, just tired. This baby likes torturing me." Fairy Godmother laughed a bit.

"Don't worry, just a few more months and you're going to be completely fine. See you around."

"See you," Mal said and went to her dorm. Evie was back from the date. "Hey, E, you look upset. What's wrong?"

"I told Doug that I'm married. And no matter he's not showing it, I know he's disappointed."

"Don't worry, he's a big boy, he can get over it," Mal said while rubbing her best friend's back.

"But what if he leaves me?"

"He won't. He truly loves you."

They spent a quiet moment. "On the other side, I'm excited cause the gender reveal party is tomorrow!" the purple-haired girl laughed at that.

"You are not going to calm down until this passes, are you?"

"Nope."
