Hey, here is the sequel for my one-shot, Speak Now. You can probably follow without reading, just keep in mind that Morgana isn't evil, and instead of Arthur protesting in "The Changeling" it was Gwen, and they ran away together. This story picks up five years after the fact.
And now, on with the story.
Prologue:
Five years had passed.
Five years since Arthur had been engaged to marry Princess Elena.
Five years since Gwen had jumped in, desperate.
Five years since Arthur had taken off.
Five years since they ran away from Camelot.
Five years ago, Arthur had turned from prince to farmer.
Now, they lived in Ealdor.
They watched over Hunith, and lived next door. Of course, Merlin had come home for a visit once, and promised that he wouldn't say a word to anyone as to their whereabouts, not even Morgana or Gaius. And that was definitely a hard decision for him, as he was horrible with secrets. At least, that was what they still thought, still oblivious to Merlin's magic.
Five years since Gwen had become a wife and four since she became a mother for the first time. They had their second child two years ago, and Gwen was three months along with their third. And she made it clear that there would most likely not be a fourth and definitely not a fifth.
In that time, Arthur proved himself to be a good husband, and just as good a father. He loved Caldby, the eldest, his son and heir, and Aldora, his two year old daughter, a little sweetheart. Caldby took after his father, always waving a stick around, pretending to fight with a sword, and always getting into mischief. He had his mother's brown hair and eyes, though his nose, mouth, and chin were his father's.
Aldora was a bubbling little child, crawling all over, loving everyone, and kind to everyone, just like her mother. She had dark blonde hair, blue eyes, and her grandfather Uther's features, with a sprinkle of her parents' features as well. Gwen and Arthur loved their children, and were glad that they had come to Ealdor to be together. It was their home now, and nothing could take them from it.
