In this fanfiction concept, Ben and Mal having a baby could bring a whole new dynamic to the Descendants universe. It might show their growth as characters as they prepare to become parents. They would have to deal with the challenges of ruling Auradon while also raising a child. Their friends, like Evie and Jay, could also play important roles in the story, perhaps helping with babysitting or giving parenting advice.
One common theme is the challenges they face as a couple during the pregnancy. This could include things like dealing with public opinion, family reactions, and their own insecurities.
There could also be personal challenges between Mal and Ben. They might have different ideas about how to raise the baby. For example, Mal might want a more laid - back approach while Ben could be more traditional. This could lead to some arguments as they try to figure out what's best for their child.
One possible fanfiction could be about how Ben and Mal deal with the news of the pregnancy. They might face challenges from their different backgrounds. Mal, with her villainous past, could be worried about how to be a good mother. And Ben, as a king - to - be, would have to balance his duties and being a supportive partner.
One thing that could be in the fanfiction is the preparation for the baby. They would need to get a nursery ready. Mal might want to incorporate some Isle - of - the - Lost - style elements into the nursery, while Ben would prefer more traditional Auradon decor. And then there's the matter of their relationship. They would need to grow even closer and support each other more as they anticipate the arrival of their child.
Jay could be a bit more awkward at first, but he'd be very protective. He'd offer to train the baby in self - defense when it's old enough, in his own humorous way. And he'd be there to help Ben out with any tasks that need a bit of muscle, like setting up the nursery or moving heavy furniture.
Ben may be overjoyed. In some fanfictions, he has always wanted a family with Mal. So, when she tells him she's pregnant, he immediately hugs her tightly and starts talking about their future together, like planning the nursery or thinking about baby names.
They could have a pregnancy journey filled with self - discovery. Mal might discover new sides of herself as she prepares to be a mother. Ben could also learn a great deal about responsibility. For instance, he might start taking more precautions to ensure the safety of Mal and the unborn child, like increasing security around the castle.
