His Darkside

Chapter Four

Ben's POV

I shook my head after Fairy Godmother left.

I really need to get some proper sleep.

'Deny me all you want King, but you know what you're feeling deep inside is the truth' the voice, making me ignore it as I walked out my office as well.

I bumped into someone, making me panic.

"I am so sorry, are you o-"

"I'm fine love, don't be so panicked" 

I looked down and noticed it was Mal, who looked quite tired.

"I thought you were retiring for the day after the meeting with my parents" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Ben, you know I can't just sit by and let you do all the work, especially if you with lack of sleep-"

"Love, you should be resting" I said, holding her in my arms "Don't worry about me okay? I have people to help as well"

"I just saw Fairy Godmother coming out our office looking worried, what did she say?" Mal asked.

"Well she was coming to me about when Jane is to take over her role in the kingdom" I lied smoothly, which surprised me "She's just worried for her daughter and I reassured her"

I have never been able to lie well.

"I don't blame her" Mal said "I feel sorry for Carlos though, you get immortalised if Jane accepts it"

"We and figure our way around it" I said "Don't you worry, true love will find a way"

She chuckled, leaning into me.

"This is why I love you, you always think of others" Mal said, making me smile.

I kissed her forehead.

"Now that you mentioned it the other day, I feel... off" Mal said.

My grip loosen on Mal, fearing she knows about her mother.

"Are you sure its not our baby?" I asked in her ear, making her giggle.

"It might be but I feel some dark energy" Mal said.

I let go of Mal, standing in front of her, holding her hands.

"Maybe its a pregnancy thing, remember your powers...maybe your powers can be effected by the hormones" I offered.

She smiled.

"You're probably right, thanks Ben" she said, relaxing a bit.

"Now, you should go to bed and sleep" I said, "Come on, I'll take you there"

Mal tried to argue but after pulling her towards our room, she stopped fighting it and gave up, following me quietly.

"How are my parents anyway?" I asked "I feel like I haven't seen them in forever"
