Sadly I don't own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.
Here we go with another story. This is the sequel to 'Camping Trip'. It is three weeks later and Morgana is overdue and ratty. (Poor Merlin.) :D The first two chapters are with Merlin and Morgana then it's onto Arthur and Gwen with their wedding plans, with Vivian not far behind, determined not to make anything go smoothly.
I don't know how many chapters this will have. We'll just see how it goes. I have put this as friendship/romance, but there is also a bit of humour and probably a bit of angst.
Enjoy:D
Merlin stood up from his place on the settee to answer the door. He opened the door to find Arthur and Gwen stood there. "Come in."
"How's Morgana doing?"
Merlin silently signalled that Morgana was listening before answering. "She is glowing, even though she is uncomfortable, she still looks gorgeous."
"Fucking liar." came Morgana's voice from somewhere in the flat. "You are only saying that because you don't want to spend another night on the settee." Morgana yelled.
Arthur looked at Merlin. "You spent last night on the settee?"
"Yes."
"Why?" asked Gwen.
"Because I answered back." Merlin lowered his voice into a whisper so Morgana wouldn't hear, but before Merlin spoke, unknown to him, Morgana stood herself behind him. "For the last month I have had to walk on egg shells, but now she is three days over due, this is torture, I'll be glad when she has the baby."
"You'll be glad?" Morgana screeched causing Merlin to duck his head and cringe. "You are not the one who looks like a whale, is continuously uncomfortable, has a husband who thinks he is helping but is only making things worse, is sick of getting false labour pains, who is sick and tired of pissing every five minutes, who has to go through the pain and suffering of actually giving birth and you say that you'll be glad when the baby comes?"
"Yes. Think of the joy we will get from our baby boy."
"Yes and the sleepless nights."
"Some babies sleep right through the night."
"This baby has come from you Merlin, so I do believe that he will give me as much trouble as you do." Morgana turned to Arthur who was grinning. "And don't even get me started on your faults, otherwise we'll be standing here all fucking week." she said before walking away.
Arthur looked at Gwen. "Do you know when you get pregnant, if you are anything like that, then you will not see very much of me during your last month." Gwen giggled.
It was four days later and Morgana was asleep in bed. Arthur and Gwen were sitting talking to Merlin. Gwen picked their plates up and took them into the kitchen as Merlin went to the bathroom. Arthur took a box of sleeping tablets out of his pocket and put one in Merlin's drink. Arthur knew that Merlin had only about two hours sleep each night for the last four days because of Morgana and helping through the day, Merlin couldn't catch up on his sleep, so Arthur knowing he needed sleep so he was alert for when Morgana did go into labour, put a tablet in his drink.
When Merlin came back from the toilet he downed his drink and asked Arthur if he wanted another. Arthur nodded and Merlin went into the kitchen to get a drink. Once he made one, he asked Gwen to take them in to the front room whilst he checked on Morgana.
When Merlin left the kitchen, Gwen took a sleeping tablet and dropped it in Merlin's tea, thinking along the same lines as Arthur but having no idea that Arthur had already slipped him one.
When they finished drinking, Arthur and Gwen said goodnight to Merlin and left. Merlin washed up and went to the bathroom, eyes drooping whilst brushing his teeth. He opened the bathroom cabinet, took a sleeping tablet and went to bed. Falling fast asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Morgana woke up when she felt a sharp pain across her stomach. She started to do her breathing exercises, thinking it was another false alarm, but gasped when she felt wetness. She threw the covers off her and looked down to see that her waters had broke.
She turned to the side of her and shook Merlin. "Merlin, it's time, my waters have broke."
Morgana got no response from Merlin, so she tried again. "Merlin! Get up. It's time."
Still nothing. Morgana growled in frustration and maneuvered onto her knees as best she could and put her hands on Merlin's shoulders and started shaking him. "Merlin get up." she shouted. Still nothing. Morgana raised her hand and brought it down hard on Merlin's cheek, Merlin mumbled but carried on sleeping.
"Ow." she said shaking her hand which was now stinging. "Well congratulations Merlin. Not only are you the reason for the pain in my stomach and stinging pain in my hand, you're also a pain in the arse as well." Morgana edged her way to the edge of the bed and picked the phone up to ring Arthur and Gwen.
Well? What do you think?
Chapter two will be up within a week but no later.
Review? x
