PT school was tough and I had no time to write and adulting is kicking my butt. But this story begged to be continued.

I make no money from this and I'm just borrowing the official Merlin characters./p

His first had been miserable with morning sickness and fatigue. His current pregnancy was going much smoother. He could eat nearly everything except fish without threat of throwing it up. The fatigue was still there but to a much lesser extent. His mother, Hunith believed that this was due to his first litter being so large and in part to his continued dissociation. /p

Morgana was his trusted advisor still along with the other members of their tight circle. Her and Sir Leon's daughter was a beautiful female alpha. Gwen was now pregnant with her and Sir Lancelot's first child. Pregnancy suited her very well. Elena was soon to come of age and would be officially bonded with Sir Gwaine. And his precious personal servant Freya was growing more and more confident with her duties along side her alpha Sir Perceval. /p

Leolyn was stubborn as his alpha father and was quickly beginning to stand himself up next to furniture. Ygrainne was mischievous and always finding her way into trouble but somehow avoiding being chastised. Edan was their most troublesome child. He had mastered teleportation and used it frequently and often times erratically. Merlin could easily track him before he had fallen pregnant but now the drain on his magic was too much. Morgana was a great help in these times. /p

Merlin was grateful of this. The simple tasks at times were good for him to work through. Arthur of course kept Merlin at his side during the council sessions and requested his opinion in all matters. Of course the other king was still his prattish self at times but Merlin loved him more than life. /p

Merlin hated festivals mostly due to the attention on him. Yet his alpha insisted. He knew it would be a long fortnight./p
