A/N: Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed this story. Special shoutout to Leeisme for getting inside my head as usual.

"Arie we need to leave soon sweetie. We don't want Morgana waiting for us, you know how easily emotional she gets." Gwen called out for her daughter.
"Coming mum! Is it ok for me to wear my ballet shoes?" Arianna went to her mother carrying the ballet shoes in her hands.
"Sweetie we'll be doing a lot of walking and we don't want to ruin your ballet shoes. Why don't you just wear your boots since it's a bit cold outside today." Gwen smiled at her daughter.
"But I promise to be extra careful. I won't ruin it I promise mum!" Arianna pouted.
"Arie what did I just say?" Arianna huffed and left dragging her feet.

Gwen shook her head at Arianna's antics. Sometimes Gwen wonders where Arianna gets her attitude 'coz she never acted out like that when she was younger.

George scoured away from Arthur's office frantically as he tried to find a way to correct his earlier mistake. George has been Arthur's personal assistant for quite some time now but still it scares him when Arthur is in one of his moods. Arthur was clearly in a foul mood this morning. Anyone who knows him and who values their job knows to avoid Arthur when he's in this state. Arthur woke up in a better mood this morning that was before his conversation with his father.

"I need you to go to New York and retrieve your sister. I'm pretty sure your brother-in-law will bend to Morgana's will and that will leave us with your sister and nephew thousands of miles away from home." Uther stated.
"Father, Morgana can decide for herself she's a grown woman, a married grown woman if I may add. I have a lot of things going on with the company and I can't be dropping everything just to go and bring my sister back home like a runaway kid!" Arthur protested.
"Arthur you will do as I say or I will take back our deal." Uther threatened his son.
"Father that is not fair!"
"Just make sure you're on your way to New York in the next 24 hours. And if I were you don't test me Arthur. I've dealt with your tantrums all your life so I know you more than you think." Arthur huffed and walked out of his father's office.

Arianna was in a better mood by the time they walked off all her pent up frustration for not getting her way. Gwen promised a trip to the thrift shop later to look for new clothes seeing that Arianna is growing up crazy fast. Arianna is a girly girl and Gwen knew a shopping trip would soften up her daughter.

"Good morning!" Morgana pushed down the window of the limo to greet Gwen and Arianna.
"Good morning Ms. Morgana." Arianna greeted back.
"Morning! Sorry to keep you guys waiting we had a bit of an issue earlier." Gwen apologized.
"Good morning girls." Leon greeted as he leaned closer to Morgana's window.
"Hi Sir Leon!" Arianna waved at Leon.
"Ready for today Arie?" Leon asked.
"Yes!" Arianna smiled.
"Well you and mum better get in so we can start the day." Leon moved back to his place as Morgana opened the door to let Arianna and Gwen in.

Arianna gasped at the space inside of the limousine. Gwen smiled at her daughter's reaction and nudged her to have a seat.

"You have a lovely car Ms. Morgana. I didn't think it'll be like this inside." Arianna beamed.
"Why thank you Arie. It isn't really our car, it's a loan from Leon's work while we're here." Morgana pinched Arianna's cheeks as she pulled her next to her.
"First stop The Plaza James." Leon told the driver.

They arrived in front of the hotel and one by one they climbed out of the limo. Leon held to his wife as he led them inside.

"Mr. and Mrs. Camiliard welcome back." The hostess greeted.
"Thank you, we have a reservation for 4 today." Leon smiled back.
"Ah yes, we have your table waiting. Please follow me this way." The hostess led them to their table and left as soon as she told them that someone will be with them in a few minutes to take their orders.

Arianna looked at her surroundings in awe and eyed the stack of pancakes in the table across from theirs.

"Do you like pancakes?" Morgana smiled as she noticed the little girl looking at the pancakes.
"Arie loves pancakes, especially with sugar and lemon." Gwen told Morgana.
"That is so uncanny, my brother loves sugar and lemon on his pancakes as well. If I didn't know any better I would think my brother has a spawn somewhere." Morgana chuckled.
"Your brother's not married?" Gwen asked.
"Oh God no, I pity the woman who would marry my brother. One he's an arrogant bastard and two he seems to be still hung up with this woman he met ages ago. Honestly I would have thought he's been over her with all the woman he's been with." Morgana babbled as she browsed through the menu.
"Darling I don't think it's nice to talk about your brother like that. Gwen haven't met the man and she already has this opinion of him." Leon smiled and winked at Gwen as Morgana playfully slapped his arm.
"I'm sorry darling. You know I love my brother, he just gets on my nerves with all his reckless behaviour. If only he'd settle down and have a family then maybe little Godric here will have a playmate." Morgana rubbed her belly as she smiled at the thought of her brother having children.
"Do you have siblings Gwen?" Leon asked.
"I actually have just one brother Elyan. He's younger and just finished school last year." Gwen answered.
"That's fantastic, what does your brother do?" Morgana asked.
"He works for Pendragon travels in marketing I think. Elyan is an excellent salesman, he can sell anything even the clothes on your back as my dad puts it." Gwen smiled.
"So how often does your family visit?" Morgana probed.

Leon noticed the sudden slump in Gwen's shoulders and decided to change the subject.

"I'm starving why don't we order." Leon called for the server.
"We talk on the phone. Apart from pictures and the occasional video chat when available my dad and brother haven't seen Arianna in person. I haven't been home since I found out I was pregnant with her. I am saving up though and hopefully with Elyan's work we could get a family discount or something." Gwen answered honestly.

Morgana looked at Gwen with sad eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry Morgana, I didn't mean to upset you. Please don't worry about us. The good thing is that I've saved enough for a ticket for myself, I'm sure in a few months I'll have enough for Arie's and if we get a discount that'll be pocket money for us." Gwen patted Morgana's hand and gave her a bright smile.
"I'm excited to see grandpop in person and uncle Elyan. They give me the best birthday and Christmas pressies ever!" Arianna beamed.

"Dad I'm so sorry!" Gwen sobbed.
"What's wrong Gwen? Stop scarring me and tell me what's wrong." Tom demanded from her daughter.
"Dad, I... I'm pregnant!" Gwen heard a sob on the other line and it broke her heart more than anything that she made her father cry.
"Dad please don't cry. I'll be fine, I'll finish my semester and figure something out afterwards. I'll talk to the school's admin and work something out with my scholarship. I'm sure as long as I keep my grades I won't lose the scholarship." Gwen reassured her dad.
"Just come home Gwen, we'll work it out." Her father pleaded.
"Dad please let me do it my way, you have Elyan to worry about he's starting uni next year. I promise I'll keep you updated. I love you dad." Gwen wiped the tears away which instantly made her appear stronger.
"Just know you can come home any time. We'll figure something out sweetie." Tom told her daughter just before she hung up.

Gwen didn't want the conversation to go on any longer afraid that she might lose her composure and break down. She wanted her father to think she's strong and that she can do this on her own. The thought really scared her but at least knowing that her father is behind her somehow made it a little bit better.

"And how about you ma'am?" The server's voice brought Gwen out of her memory.

Gwen ordered and took a sip of her water. The food finally arrived and the look on Arianna's face was priceless. The little girl lit up as the stack of mini pancakes were placed in front of her. Gwen tucked a napkin under Arianna knowing how messy the little girl could be when she gets really excited about her food. The adults all laughed at Arianna as she took a big chunk out of her pancakes and immediate placed it in her mouth. The little girl chewed happily making her cheeks puff out like a chipmunk storing food in their mouth. Arianna saw Morgana watching her intently, smiling as she remembered a memory of her younger brother when they were little. It suddenly dawned on her how everything Arianna did reminded her of Arthur. She brushed the thought thinking it was impossible. If Arthur did have a child she knew he wouldn't hide it from their family, but still Morgana wanted to be sure.

"So Gwen, I don't want to pry but I'm curious, you've never really mentioned Arie's father." Morgana wiped the corners of her mouth as she waited for Gwen's response.
"Daddy's in heaven!" Arianna answered while still chewing her food.
"Arie manners please." Gwen reprimanded her daughter.
"Sorry mum!" Arianna looked down at her plate and continued eating her pancakes.
"I'm sorry if it's too personal." Morgana apologized.
"No it's fine. I met him in Columbia, we went out and just before I found out I was pregnant with Arie he got in a car accident and died." Gwen lied as she avoided Morgana's eyes and took a sip of her coffee.
"Poor thing! I can't imagine growing up never knowing your dad. My mum died when we were kids but at least we still have memories of her." Morgana started sobbing.
"Don't cry miss Morgana. I know my daddy loves me and he watches over me everyday." Arianna went over to Morgana and gave her a hug.

Morgana held Arianna closer and kissed her hair.

"Honey, all this crying can't be good for the baby. Please calm down and just enjoy the day. Arie doesn't seem to be bothered by it and so should you." Leon rubbed his wife's back.

Morgana smiled as everyone said their concerns for her. She wiped the tears away and composed herself willing not to cry over every little thing. Leon noticed the sudden glint in his wife's eyes like she had a lightbulb moment.

"Gwen I know this is sudden, but would you consider being my son's nanny?" Morgana blurted.

Leon smirked at his wife's tact, Arianna smiled wide at the thought and Gwen sat shocked at Morgana's offer.

Arthur boarded one of the Pendragon's private jet and quickly set himself down in the plush chair. George sat across from him dictating his agenda as Merlin plopped down on the chair next to Arthur. Merlin decided he needed a short break and when Arthur told him he's leaving for New York this afternoon he thought what better way than to hitch a ride with his best friend. Arthur thought to make the most out of this trip by visiting their New York office and meet with a few potential vendors. So now they were on their way to New York, Arthur dreading seeing his sister and knowing what he has to do.
