When worlds collide

A shocking discovery

Ben's POV

She been like this all night, no change, not a single thing, still in a coma like state but her body seems dead, another one of her luscious purple locks that I love so much went white earlier, apparently by the rate it's going she hasn't got long, but I don't know what maleficent meant, how is she supposed to get back to us, I feel so helpless, there's nothing I can do but wait and I hate that, I have been sat here holding her hand ever since she got here, I slept for a couple of hours but not very well, our entire armed forces are out looking for maleficent to bring this curse to an end, if we can kill her then the spell breaks and I will get Mal back, this was an attack on the royal family, Mal may not be my wife yet but were engaged, I asked her on my birthday a few weeks ago and she said yes, no one knows yet, we wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while, I know we're young but this is the land of fairytale a and happy endings, she's my one and that will never change, unless I lose her, then I'll be alone, but she can never be replaced

I'd been sat there for a while when the doctor walked in, a serious look on her face

"What is it?" I ask her feeling the concern overwhelm me and my anxiety increase

"We've been running as many tests as we can, trying to find out if there's anything abnormal here, we didn't find any abnormalities persay but...." She trails off

"But?" I have the distinct feeling whatever she's about to say will make everything ten times worse at least

"We found high levels of specific hormones in her system"

"What does that mean?" My voice begins to shake a little as the nerves start to take hold

"We need to do a scan" she is hiding something I can tell

"Okay then do it" I just want her to hurry up and tell me what's going on, high levels of hormones, what does that mean?

"You'll have to leave the room I'm afraid"

"What?"

"Your highness this will be a lot quicker if you don't argue" she makes sense so I do as I'm told

* * *

It's been five minutes now and she finally lets me back in, I head straight back to Mal and take her hand again, I gently kiss her forehead and then look back at the doctor

"So?" I ask waiting for her to stop dragging it out

"Your highness, she's....well......" I can't take this anymore

"She's what?!" I raise my voice a little more than I'd like to admit to

"She's pregnant"
