Merlin ran her hands over her newly formed bump. Only three and a half months ago had she discovered she was expecting a child, her third child. Hopefully she was carrying a girl, princess of Camelot – she and Arthur would have a daughter, but if it turned out to be a boy it wouldn't matter, it just meant another son to cherish.
Of course she wanted a daughter and was very happy to keep trying until she got one, she was sure Arthur wouldn't mind and truth be told she liked being pregnant. She loved all the attention she got and Arthur was always more affectionate knowing she was in a point where her emotions were very unstable.
The only thing she disliked about being pregnant was hardly being able to move, but that was only in the later months of pregnancy.
Arthur wrapped his arms around his wife and held her stomach, shocking her slightly. He chuckled and kissed her neck.
"Evening."
"Mm, evening to you too."
"William and Griffin are asleep in their chambers, guards at their doors, they are safe."
Merlin hated having the children in different rooms, but it was only next door and they shared a room. Arthur always checked on them before bedtime as did Merlin, but during her pregnancy she went to bed early, normally before her sons so she didn't see them before they went to bed but she saw them before she did and spent periods of time with them during the day.
"Are you sure?"
Arthur spun her around so he could hold her face instead of her stomach.
"Extremely, now stop worrying, you'll stress yourself out, which'll end in you becoming ill."
"Fine, as long as you are certain they'll be safe."
He kissed her lips before resting his forehead on her's.
"I am, and plus you know they can take care of themselves."
It was true, well kind of. Both boys had inherited their mother's powers, but were very young and didn't have control over them. But faced with danger their natural instinct would set off their magic, protecting them.
"Now come on let's get you to bed you look knackered."
Arthur walked off, stripping himself of his tunic before crawling into the left side of the bed.
"I'm not knackered yet."
He glanced through the bushes watching as the guards allowed some knights into the citadel of Camelot. He smirked before moving stealthy to the west side of the gate, He recongised one of the knights as Sir Leon a close friend of the King and Queen and the husband of Lady Morgana.
He muttered low words of the old religion and Sir Leon's horse rose up, neighing and making Leon tumbled to the ground hitting his head and knocking himself unconscious.
This had now alerted the guards and other knights that someone was there. The knights dismounted their horses and the guards ran towards him.
He grinned, this would be far too easy.
"gefyllan."
The knights and guards flew backwards and fell to the floor, dead. With nobody now guarding the gates, he easily slipped into the heart of Camelot.
Merlin tossed and turned in her sleep before awaking with a gasp waking up Arthur at the same time.
"Merlin?"
"Something's wrong…"
The man snuck through the corridors looking for King and Queen's chambers. Although as a back up plan he alerted his followers to take Sir Leon to their camp. He spotted guards outside a room, and assuming it was the King and Queen's bedchambers he ran forward, knocking the guards unconscious and entering the room.
His eyes widened slightly as he saw the two young boys laying asleep in the two beds that occupied the room. He was about to leave when he realised what Morvan had said.
"The king has two sons…"
Authors Notes:
And I will leave it there! I was going to post this last Saturday but I was suspended and got three of my stories (Yes!, Threatening and A Night In The TARDIS) taken down, for sexual content, when I have seen worse, maybe I was reported? If so…THANKS!
But I will be posting them on my DeviantArt page (my name is the same) as well as the Yes! and Threatening sequels when I write them as well as the Loss of a Mother, Loss of a Wife prequel.
