Wyatt's Pov

I couldn't sleep.

No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't sleep.

Malia, who was lying on her side and was wrapped protectively in my arms, was sound asleep as small snores were heard from her.

While Emily was asleep in her room that was just across from mine and Malia's.

Meanwhile, I was having trouble falling asleep.

The reason being is that I'm nervous.

Actually, I'm nervous and scared.

And that isn't possible given who and what I am and everything.

But the reason for me feeling that way is because tomorrow is the day Malia and I, along with Emily and our friends, leave for Auradon.

Everyone is ready to visit Malia's hometown.

Considering it's in another world and it's going to be different from ours.

And while they are all ready, I'm not.

I mean, I thought I was but I'm actually not.

It has just struck me that tomorrow I'm going to meet Malia's friends as well as her family.

I'm going to meet her parents and her sister.

That already makes me nervous, especially when having to meet her father since he's probably going to interrogate me.

But what bothers me is the fact that I'm also going to have to meet two people.

Ben, my fiance's ex-boyfriend that left her for another girl.

And Mal, the girl that Ben left my fiance for.

Two people that I hate more than anything.

Mainly Ben.

Considering he broke my girls heart and left her when she needed him the most.

I have to admit that while I want to meet him, so I can beat him to a pulp as revenge, I also don't want to meet him.

Not only that but I don't want Malia to reunite with him.

Because what if memories that the two of them made, before Ben ruined everything, resurfaces for Malia.

What happens if old feelings return?

What happens if I lose Malia, again, and to her ex-boyfriend?

I know it's incredibly stupid of me to feel that way, considering Malia has stated over and over again that she holds hatred for Ben, but I can't stop myself.

Those thoughts just appear in my head and, for whatever reason, just stay there.

I can't get rid of them no matter what.

Grumbling in annoyance, I decided to leave and head to the kitchen.

I can't fall back to sleep so probably better if I just get myself a snack.

I quietly unwrapped my arms from my fiance and got out of bed, making sure I wouldn't wake her up.

I put my slippers on left the room, quietly closing the door behind me.

I made a quick stop to Emily's room and when I peeked into her room I saw her sleeping peacefully in her bed.

A smile appeared on my face before I closed her door quietly.

After that I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen.

I turned on the late and began looking around, trying to find something that I could eat.

Normally I would grab some ice-cream but I really just want something small to eat.

I finished my search in just a minute when I laid my eyes on the cookie jar.

I walked over to the jar and once I opened it I grabbed two cookies before closing the jar.

I shoved the first cookie into my mouth, sighing at how good it was, and munched on it before swallowing it.

Man, cookies are just so good and I love them so much.

As I finished the cookie I just ate I took a bite out of the last cookie that was in my hand.

I honestly don't know if I'm going to go back to bed.

I mean, I do want to go back to holding Malia in my arms.

But at the same time I'm still not tired.

So maybe I will just watch some T.V and if that tires me out then I'll head back to bed.

However, just before I could eat the last bit of my cookie I heard footsteps approaching.

Not even a second later I felt arms being wrapped around me from behind.

Almost immediately a smile appeared on my face.

I didn't even need to think to know who it was.

"Why are you here and not in bed with me?" Malia asked.

I chuckled as I felt her lean down in order to kiss the back of my neck.

I love it when she kisses me, her kisses are always amazing.

I shrugged as I stuffed the last bite of cookie into my mouth.

"Had trouble falling back asleep" I told her.

It's not a lie cause I really did have trouble falling back to sleep.

But I don't want to tell her the reason why so hopefully that's enough of an answer for her.

Unfortunately, this is Malia Rose we're talking about.

Meaning, she knows that there is a reason and she wants to know what that reason is.

I felt her place her hands onto my shoulders and turned me around so that we were facing each other.

"Darling, why couldn't you fall back to sleep?" Malia asked, frowning.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it" I tried to reassure her.

"Wyatt" Malia told me in a warning tone.

Not to mention she crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow at me.

And was giving me a look that said 'tell me or we won't be going back to sleep'.

I sighed, knowing that she wasn't going to let this go until I told her the reason.

And I had no choice but to tell her.

"I couldn't fall back to sleep because..." I trailed off.

"Because of what?" Malia asked.

"Because I'm scared" I finished, sighing.

I looked at my fiance and saw her looking at me in surprise and confusion.

Which is as expected since she knows that I am hardly ever scared of anything.

Which is true.

There was only one thing I was scared of and that's the thought of losing Malia forever.

That's mainly what I felt when we were broken up.

And even though we're back together and stronger than ever, engaged with plans to marry in the future, I still have my insecurities.

But this new fear is because of something else.

"Scared? Scared of what?" Malia asked.

"Tomorrow we're going to Auradon, your hometown, and you're going to reunite with your family and friends. But, most of all, you're going to reunite with your ex-boyfriend. Emily's biological father" I explained.

Malia's eyes widened in realization.

Her eyes softened and she let out a small sigh.

"You're scared because you think that things between us could change when I see Ben again?" Malia asked.

I said nothing.

I just nodded my head.

"Not only that, but I'm scared of when he meets Emily. No doubt he's going to want to bond with her, he is her biological father, and I'm worried that Emily will end up bonding with him. What if she starts spending time with him? What if she starts calling him dad and I go back to being Wyatt?" I asked.

I know it's stupid of me to feel this way but I can't help it.

The thought of losing my daughter to that man scares me to death.

Emily might not be my daughter by blood but she will always be my daughter by heart.

I helped raise and I was there for her during everything.

The same way I was there for Malia.

I just don't want to lose her to a man that broke her mothers heart for some other girl, leaving the two of them alone.

A finger was placed under my chin and made me move my head to the side.

I found myself looking into Malia's loving and comforting eyes.

"Wyatt, darling, there is nothing to be scared of. I told you, what Ben and I had is over. It's been over for a long time. I'm with you and I love you. The love I had for Ben is in the past and has been replaced with nothing but hatred and that's all I will ever have for him" Malia explained.

She cupped the side of my cheek, gently caressing it.

"I'm over him, darling. He means nothing to me, not anymore, especially after what he did. You're the only guy for me and trust me when I say that nobody could ever compete with you, especially Ben" Malia added.

Malia will forever hate Ben for what he did to her and I don't blame her.

Considering I don't know the guy but I hate him for what he did to my queen.

He's going to want her back, that much I am sure of.

But he's not getting her back, ever.

And that makes me relax knowing that I won't lose Malia to someone like him.

But...

"What about Emily?" I asked.

I still have my doubts.

And my insecurities are still there.

"Emily loves you, darling. She knows everything about her biological father and guess what? She hates him and doesn't want him in her life. To her, he is nothing but a stranger. And you? You are her dad and always will be" Malia smiled.

She's right.

Emily has always seen me as her since the first day she called me her dad.

And she has always seen Ben as nothing but a stranger.

She knows who he really is to her but that doesn't matter because to her he will always be the man that broke her mothers heart.

She hates him the same way Malia does.

And that should fill me with nothing but relief.

And it does.

But at the same time the fear is still there and it has trouble going away.

I have trouble making it go away.

Because I just don't know what to expect tomorrow, especially when we come across Ben.

And the thought of what he might do to get Malia and Emily back scares me.

"I don't know, baby. I'm still scared" I sighed.

Why can't my fear go away?

Why are my doubts and my insecurities still there?

Maybe it's because Ben and Malia have history or maybe it's because Ben was Malia's first love.

I really don't know.

Oh, and speaking of Malia...

I looked at my fiance just as she removed her hand from my cheek and offered me a small smile.

She held onto my hand, squeezing it comfortingly, and before I knew it she began to sing.

(Malia)
You can be the peanut butter to my jelly
You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly
You can be the captain
And I can be your first mate

You can be the chills that I feel on our first date
You can be the hero
And I can be your sidekick
You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split

You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'
Or you can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

Malia brought her hand back up to my cheek and rested it there, gently caressing it.

I sighed in content and found myself leaning into her touch.

(Malia)
Don't know if I could ever be without you
'Cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need

'Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

She lifted up her other hand, showing off her engagement ring with a smile plastered on her face. 

A smile appeared on my face as I leaned in to kiss her forehead.

(Malia)
'Cause you're the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)

(Me)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two

I brought my hands up to cup the sides of her face while she wrapped her arms around my waist.

(Malia)
You can be the prince and I can be your princess
You can be the sweet tooth I can be the dentist

You can be the shoes and I can be the laces
You can be the heart that I spill on the pages

(Me)
You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as we're together

We leaned closer to each other and pressed our foreheads together.

(Malia)
Don't know if I could ever be without you
'Cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need

'Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

(Both)
'Cause you're the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two

Malia looked up at me with those beautiful eyes of hers and I could feel my knees grow weak.

(Malia)
You know that I'll never doubt ya
And you know that I think about ya
And you know I can't live without ya

I love the way that you smile
And maybe in just a while
I can see me walk down the aisle

My heart fluttered, tears beginning to gather in my eyes, and I nodded my head at her.

(Both)
'Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry

'Cause your the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)

And were the perfect two
Were the perfect two
Were the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two (yeah, yeah)

Once we finished singing I pulled her into a kiss and she happily kissed back.

We pulled away and we stared into each others eyes.

"You're the only one for me, darling. Always and forever" Malia softly said.

I smiled, feeling small tears stream down my face, and tightened my hold around her.

"You're the only one for me too, baby. Always and forever" I softly said.

"Please don't be scared about losing me because I can assure you that that's never going to happen. You won't ever lose me. I'm here to stay. I love you more than you'll know" Malia told me.

Whatever fear or nerves I had began to vanish.

Now, nothing but relief coursed through my body.

That was enough for my fear to go away. That's what I needed for it to finally vanish.

"The same goes for you, baby. You won't ever lose me because I am here to stay. I love you more than life itself" I told her.

Malia smiled up at me, nothing but love in her eyes.

Small tears began streaming down her face causing me to reach out in order to wipe them away.

Malia cupped the sides of my face and leaned in so that her lips were near my ear.

"Take me to our room and make love to me. Please, darling" Malia begged.

My eyes slowly darkened at her command and I could feel nothing but love, passion and lust take over me.

When Malia pulled away from my ear I didn't hesitate to smash my lips onto hers.

Malia eagerly kissed me back with nothing but love, passion and lust.

My hands wandered down to her thighs and I gripped them before lifting her off the ground.

Malia wrapped her legs around my waist and removed her lips from mine and began kissing and biting at my neck.

I moaned in satisfaction before quickly turning off the kitchen light.

Just like that I made my way upstairs, still holding my beautiful fiance in my arms, so I could head back to our room.

And, well, you already know what happened next.
