Mal's pov

I'm 6 months pregnant. My belly is really big and It has started to kick alot. I only let Jay and Uma come over now and they are coming to dads cave today. "Mal they are here come out off your room" I hear dad shout. I come out of my room and hug them both. "I'm still working on getting you back there and I'm getting really close now" Uma says. "I think you should tell Ben he is getting really depressed not hearing from you and so are the others." Jay says "I'm just not sure." "Well we are" Uma says and Jay stands up and walks near the exit. He waves his hand and I hear 2 pair of foot steps. I grab lots of blankets and put them over me. "Oh hey Evie and Carlos" I say Jay walks up and pulls the blanket off of me. "No" I shout and snatch the blankets back over me. I look at Evie's hand and see a ring. "Ohh let me see" I say and hold my hand out. She walks over and puts her hand in mine. "When did this happen?" I ask as my dad leaves the cave. "Last week. So when did you find out?" She said changing the subject. "The day I came here. I found some and used them" She nods and sits next to me. "Non of you can tell Ben please." I tell Evie and Carlos nod. "Only until you give birth" Carlos says. "Maybe" I say and put my hand on my stomach. Ding ding ding ding ding  Uma looks at her phone then looks at us panicked. "I've got a meeting. We need to go bye M" "Bye guys. DON'T TELL BEN." They nod and run out of the cave. I turn the TV on and see Ben standing on stage.

"You and I

We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide
So stop time right here in the moonlight
'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyesWithout you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
I'm just a sad songWith you, I fall
It's like I'm leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall
With you, I'm a beautiful mess
It's like we're standing hand and hand with all our fears up on the edge
So stop time right here in the moonlight
'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyesWithout you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad songYou're the perfect melody
The only harmony I wanna hear
You're my favorite part of me
With you standing next to me
I've got nothing to fearWithout you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad songWithout you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
I'm just a sad song" Ben sings and takes a deep shaky breath.

"I met you in the dark, you lit me up

You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing upThen you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some restI knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let goI'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that nightWhen you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehowI'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far, my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let goI wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you mostI'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let goJust say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go" Ben sang staring into the camera. When you look into his eyes you could see he was heart broken. Ben looks to the side of the stage as Uma, Jay, Evie and Carlos comes on and stands next to him.

"Say something, I'm giving up on youI'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed youSay something, I'm giving up on youAnd I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at allAnd I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawlSay something, I'm giving up on youI'm sorry that I couldn't get to youAnywhere, I would've followed youSay something, I'm giving up on youAnd I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbyeSay something, I'm giving up on youAnd I'm sorry that I couldn't get to youAnd anywhere, I would have followed you
Ooh, ooh say something, I'm giving up on youSay something, I'm giving up on youSay something" They all sing. I turn the TV off and burst out crying.

"I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me

This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the painNow the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedI'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escapeNow the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedAnd I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back aroundFor now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedBut now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedI let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved" I sing. Dad walks in and runs over to me. I stand up and hug him. "It's okay. It's going to be okay, Mal"
