It was the first day Arthur had been free for weeks, He had got up leisurely and spent the morning cuddled up in bed with his pregnant wife.
They were sat in the large alcove of their window, opposite ends, Gwen nearest the window. Gwen had a huge pile of cusions at her back and Arthur had about 2. He didn't mind as long as she was comfortable. He was reading some papers and glanced up for a moment to notice Gwen was asleep, looking extremly comfortable to say she was sleeping in an alcove.
Arthur chuckled to himself and looked down at his papers.
He looked up every so often to check Gwen was okay, each time she was. He glanced up at one point and something in the courtyard caught his eye.
Merlin was talking to a woman.
He leaned over Guinevere's legs to try and see more, as he did this he woke her.
Guinevere opened her eyes slowly to see her husband leaning across her legs trying to see outside.
"Arthur ... What are you doing?" Gwen mumbled stretching and putting a hand on her stomach, the baby was also awake "Stop kicking you evil spawn of Pendragon"
"Hey!" Arthur said sitting up slightly "Harsh Guinevere"
"True though" Gwen laughed "anyway, what caught your attention?"
"Merlin ... he is talking to some woman"
Guinevere turned to look and saw that Merlin indeed was talking to a woman, a very pretty woman at that.
"Well ... seems Merlin is getting some" Arthur chuckled and Gwen slapped his leg
"Hey, they might be friends" Guinevere snapped at him and then turned back to watch and saw Merlin kiss her and then walk off
"Yer ... friends Guinevere. Real good friends. So, our little Merlin has a lady"
"Your little boy is all grown up" Gwen laughed "Don't be bothering him about it, he obviously hasn't told you cause he knows you will wind him up"
"Me!?" Why would i do such a thing!?"
"Cause you're Arthur Pendragon, You thrive off annoying Merlin"
"True darling, true. I just want to know some details" Arthur explained and felt a slap to his leg "Not them kind of details, just who she is and how he knows her"
"Wait for him to tell you Arthur. Please" Guinevere pleaded
Arthur rolled his eyes.
"fine, i promise" He grouched and picked his papers back up, planning to confront Merlin later anyway.
