2. A goodbye and a newborn

"Do you have to go?" Hunith asked the man, tears streaking down her face.

Arthur couldn't take his eyes of her. How could it be possible? Hunith is a mother to a late teenage boy and yet now she was in her late teens herself. Unless...unless he was in the past.

"I'm sorry, Hunith. But they will come here to search for me and you'll be killed to." The man whispered kissing her forehead.

"But-" Hunith begun in a tone that Arthur was reminded of Merlin. So that's where he got his innocent yet courageous side from.

"I love you Hunith. Never forget that." The man kissed her lips now. She kissed back, longingly.

"Love you too, Balinor."

Arthur nearly fell in shock. Balinor? The Balinor, who was the dragon lord, who was going to save Camelot from the dragon but got lost in combat? No, it must be another Balinor. Hunith wouldn't have anything to do with a dragon lord.

Balinor smiled, tears running down his cheeks too. He kissed her forehead again and sadly departed. Hunith watched him go, ignoring the people that came out of their houses to go to work as usual and raised their eyebrows. Once Balinor was out of his sight she reluctantly went back into her house.

Arthur quietly followed; even through she of course wouldn't even acknowledge him.


As he walked through, however everything in the room changed. Through the door he had seen Hunith slumped on the bench chair by the table that stood in the middle of the room. Now it had been moved to the side and Hunith no longer sat at it. Instead she was lighting the small fireplace.

"Morning, Hunith." A woman cried merrily as she entered the room and walked through Arthur. Hunith turn and smiled at her.

"Hi, Ganya."

Arthur found himself staring at Hunith again. She was older now just by a year or so but her face was already worn. She had a rounded bump.

"So it's true! Wow, I laugh if the birth is on the same day. Two babies born on the same day in the same village, what are the chances?" Ganya gabbled patting her own bump.

Arthur froze. If Hunith was pregnant, she was pregnant with Merlin. And that meant that Balinor...no he couldn't be. Hunith must have made love with someone else and they had too left. That had to be it.

"What are you going to call yours?" asked Ganya grinning excitedly as she patted Hunith's stomach now. "Tobias wants to call ours a Will's name. Wilma for a girl and William for a boy. I'm not sure on Wilma so I hope it's a boy as I like William."

"I think Marcheline for a girl. But I have no idea for a boy."

"Oh come on, boy names are easy!"

"Not for me. Every name I think of doesn't fit. I keep thinking no, no, even if I like the name. I don't even want to name him after his father..." Hunith's voice trailed at the word 'father' but she smiled at Ganya to show she was fine.

"Maybe the name will come when it's born. If not you can always disguise it as a girl."

"But don't you think it's be noticeable?"

"Maybe, maybe not. He might look like a girl and it'll be only when he's older that it will be noticeable."

The woman crack up laughing and Arthur found himself grinning too. No wonder he always claimed Merlin was actually a girl.

Hunith and Ganya exited into the other room and Arthur followed.


It changed again. Arthur guessed that he was going to have to go through different time periods each time he went through a room. He hoped that getting back to the present day would come quicker then.

Now, Hunith was lying on the bed, screaming. A midwife stood beside her.

"Push!" she cried and Hunith screamed even more. Arthur looked away, not wishing to see it. Soon the cries where not only Hunith cries but baby cries too.

"A little boy." The midwife said smiling. Arthur turned and saw the baby in full view before it was pass to Hunith. He had short black hair that flopped into that easy regoinsable mop and blue eyes that was so filled of innocence that Arthur couldn't help but smile as well. "What are you going to call him?"

Arthur half expected the girl name to come out or the midwife to suggest his name.

"Merlin." Hunith said automatically as if someone had just told her to say it. She even looked surprised at herself.

"Well, say hello to Merlin then." The midwife said. Merlin was place into Hunith's arms. He immediately snuggled into her, making it obvious he knew his mummy. Hunith face broke out into a smile of joy.

"Hello, my little Merlin." She whispered.

And with the look in his eyes, Arthur sworn Merlin was saying hello back.
