Loving You

Chapter 32

No ones P. O. V.
After the gender reveal everyone made the decision to stay at the castle that night. They were all still shaken up over Maleficent.

Mrs. Potts made everyone some comfort food to try and calm them down but no one ate anything. Everyone sat there in silence. No one said anything. Mal and Ben being the most worried.

All kinds of thoughts were running through their heads. Mal couldn't take anymore crap from her mother. Her blood was boiling.

Mals P. O. V.
I can't believe this is happening. Can't one thing in my life go right. Can't my mother just leave me alone. I couldn't take it anymore. I gotten up from chair, causing all eyes to land on me, and stormed out of there. I went straight up to my room slamming the door open ready to scream but couldn't. I couldn't breathe. It felt like the air wasn't there anymore. I fell to the floor on my knees crying my eyes out. Everything felt like it stopped. That was until I felt Bens arms around me pulling me into his chest.

"I need you to breathe with me Mal. In, out, in and out." He said. I did what he told me, I tried to follow his breathing, and eventually my breathing became normal again, and all that was heard was my sobs. "We'll figure this out Mal. Everything is gonna be okay. I promise." He said. I nod my head not being able to talk. Eventually I fell asleep in his arms.

No ones P. O. V.
More and more weeks started to pass and no one has heard or seen Maleficent. After the gender reveal party, more and more gaurds were being brought in to protect the castle as Mals due date drew closer. She was now 32 weeks pregnant. The sooner she was due the more scared she got. She was stressing. But she wasn't the only one. Ben hasn't stopped searching for Maleficent. He has sent out search parties, sometimes even joining them. He's gone full father mode and will stop at nothing to protect his daughter and fiance.

Ben's P. O. V.
"How about Agrabah? Aladdin, Jasmine has anyone reported or seen anything?" I ask.

"No sir. We have every guard on stand by all night and all day. No one has seen or heard anything." Aladdin says.

Dammit.

"How about Charmington?" I say looking over at Cinderella and Prince Charming.

"Nothing." Cinderella says.

"Auroria?"

"Same as last time." Aurora says.

"Okay then. Everyone go home, double your gaurds. If nothing has changed in 8 weeks, I won't you to warn your people. Tell everyone to stay inside. And please let me know the minute anything, and I mean anything, changes. Meeting dismissed." I say plopping down in my chair. Once everyone left it was just Mal and I in the room.

"What do we do now?" She asked.

"I don't know. But we can't give up." I say.

She got up from her chair and walked out leaving me to my thoughts.

"So we're just supposed to sit around and wait for you to go in labor." Evie says.

"As of right now, yes. We can't do anything." I say.

"So basically were doomed." Carlos says.

"I might have an idea, but I don't think you nor Ben are gonna like it." Jay says.

"Anything at this point." I say

"You might wanna call Ben." He says.

Ben finally made his way over to Evies after Mal called him. Now they were all gathered in her living room.

"So Jay what's this plan you have?" Ben asks him.

"Im gonna need you two to promise that you'll think about this. It might be our best chance." Jay says.

"We promise." Mal says grabbing Ben's hand.

"Okay, well. After Mal gives birth why don't we have somebody, someone who Maleficent doesn't suspect take your daughter and go into hiding for as long as it takes."

"I'm sorry, give up our daughter?!" Mal interrupts him. "No way in hell!" She yells

"Mal hear me out. I know this means giving her up, but it might be our best choice. Carlos and I can use a 3d printer to create a replica of the baby. We can draw Maleficent in, trick her and lock her up for good." Jay says.

Mal and Ben both look at each other. Neither not knowing what to say. But they both know what they had to do for the safety of their daughter. Ben looks back over at Jay giving him a nod.

"Just one question?" Ben asked.

"Yes." Jay said.

"Who do we know that Maleficent wouldn't suspect?" Ben asks.

"Well Ben, whens the last time you've talked to your grandfather?"

"Hello?" The other line said.

"Hi grandpa, it's Ben."

"Oh Ben. How are you?" Maurice asks.

"Well at the moment, not to hot. I'm sure mom told you what's going on with Maleficent?" Ben asks.

"She sure did. I'm sorry to of heard about that. If there's anything I can do, please let me know." Maurice says.

"Actually grandpa, that's why I called you."

"Really?" Maurice asks.

"Yes."

"Well what can I do?"

"Well grandpa, as soon asy daughter is born, I'm going to need you to take her and keep her in hiding. I know this is a lot, but I wouldn't trust anyone else." Ben says getting tears in his eyes.

"Oh Ben. Of course I will." Maurice says.

"Thank you so much grandpa."

"Anything for my grandson and great granddaughter. I have to go now. You tell Mal I said hello."

"I love you too grandpa, and I will." Ben says hanging up.

"So." Mal asks.

"He said yes." Ben says plopping down next to Mal on his bed.

"We're really doing this?" Mal says placing a hand on her stomach.

"We really are." Ben says placing his hand on top of hers.
