Merlin ran down the corridors of the castle, rushing towards Gaius' chambers, where he had left Freya. His excitement had reached its peak and his hands were shaking as he grinned, taking a deep breath before opening the door.
"Melin," Freya smiled up at him, her sweaty hair plastered to her forehead, her breathing returning to steady, even breaths.
The shock of it all still hadn't worn off, the shock of being a father and to such a perfect little bundle as the raven haired newborn currently lay sleeping in his wifes arms.
Freya held the boys tiny hand as she smiled down at him, her other hand entwined with Merlins.
"Look at him," she gasped as the baby stirred, nuzzling closer to his mother.
A small noise escaped the baby's lips as his tiny hand tightened around his mothers hand and his eyes twitched, slowly opening for the first time, revealing two startlingly blue orbs that held Merlin's attention for a moment
The blue eyes flashed gold and Merlin chuckled, squeezing Freya's hand.
"Hello Will."
