Arriving at Ealdor Merlin headed to his house wanting so badly to see his mother again. He kept playing different senarios of how he'd tell his mother about this whole situation in his head. She took it well and was happy everytime he thought about it, he knew she'd be supportive no matter what but it was the tiny thing of breaking it to her that was his main concern. 'Well saying "Hi mum missed you. Drink sounds great, by the way I slept with another man-Arthur. The king of Camelot that's right and oh yer, I'm carrying the heir to the throne of Camelot" Probley wouldn't go down great' he thought chuckling to himself.

"Mother" he said approaching his mum just hoping when the right time and moment came around he'd know what to say.

"Merlin" she beamed dashing up to her son and wrapping her arms around him pulling him into a tight embrace, "What are you doing here?"

"I missed you. Aren't you happy to see me?" he asked mocking a hurt expression.

"Of course, I'm just suprised" she smiled warmly

"Is that good suprised?"

"Yes" Hunith grinned pulling her son into another hug.

"Good but mum..there is a reason I'm here" he informed pulling back and replacing his happ expression with one of seriousness.

"Come inside and I'll get something to drink" she said heading inside with her son following in tow. Merlin took his seat at the table where he aways used to sit before he left to Camelot and his 'destiny' which is the reason all this has happened in the first place. He wasn't against children but he just wished it was under better circumstances and not with the man-whore of a king. Also preferably he wouldn't be the one having the baby.

"Here we are" his mother smiled placing a drink infront of him and taking a seat oppsite.

"Thank you" he whispered taking a sip and avoiding eye contact with his mother.

"You said there was a reason your here?" she asked her son becoming increasingly worried.

"Yes." he answered simply

"Are you going to tell me?" Hunith asked with a light chuckle.

"Your going to be a grandmother" he stated still not meeting Huniths now shocked gaze.

"What? Who is she? Where is she?" she inquired he voice sounding excited.

"What do you mean?" Merlin inquired slightly confused at his mothers question.

"The girl the one who's baring my grandchild"

"He's right infront of you" he said finally looking up. 'At least you didn't come out with something stupid'

"What...how..I don't understand. That's impossible" she insisted sitting up straight

"A warlock can have a child if they love someone enough or something and apparently my body did that to me. With Arthur"

"Arthur? The king. But that means..you and Ar-" Hunith was cut off when she realised what had occured between her son and the blonde king. "Oh..."

"Yep.."

"Does he know?" Hunith asked her son.

"No. I left as soon as I found out" Merlin responded with a hint of upset to his voice

"But Merlin, it's his child and the heir to the thorne" she stated even though Merlin already knew this.

"I know that"

"Then you have to go back an tell him" she insisted

"I can't" he said filling up with tears

"Why on earth not? Everyone has a right to know their children Merlin"

"I know that. But what if it has magic and Arthur finds out I do too. What if he kills me or my baby?" Merlin sobbed the thought invading his mind again.

"Do you really believe Arthur would harm you or his child?" Hunith asked moving round to hug her son.

"I don't know, he lost both his parents to magic and he's been brought up around all this hatred. I don't want to risk it" he said shaking his head.

"Okay, I understand. How far along are you?"

"About two months. The gestation period is the same for a man I believe but I do have a book on the first and only case to read"

"Good, I'm here for anything you need" she smiled reasuring her son. Merlin finished his drink before he went to sleep. Hunith sat up and waiting for Merlin to drift off before writing Gaius a letter, this letter told him that Merlin had arrived safely and had explained the situation, it also told him she wished that Merlin would tell Arthur the truth as this child could mean so much to Camelot, at the end of the letter she asked if Gaius would require regular updates on Merlins condition. Hunith wanted nothing more than to write saying Merlin wished for the old man to tell Arthur but she'd never go against Merlins wishes. She knew if time could go back she would inform Balinor of Merlins existence, dispite her sons persuasive arguement she still believed people should know of their childrens existance. After sealing up the envelop and stamping it she would need to send it the next morning through the boy in the village who would run letters between villages...

Merlin had been gone a day but nothing felt right to Arthur, he missed the way Merlin would make his bed and the way his smile seemed to light everything up. He was sat in his chambers with his new manservant placing his dinner infront of him and it felt like he'd been abducted, like this wasn't his home. "Arthur?" it was the unmistakeable voice of Guinevere entering his chambers.

"What is it?" he asked not even bothering to turn and look at her.

"I was just hoping we could spend some time together, we haven't done that recently and I miss you" she whispered shuffling forward.

"I'm sorry, it's been busy"

"Yes..busy" Gwen repeated like she knew he wasn't being entirely truthful.

"I was thinking tomorrow we could go for a horse ride together, maybe take a picnic. Like we did before" she pushed surveying the kings body language

"I don't know, I'll see what I'm doing and have a messenger come find you"

"Arthur, I was also thinking I could stay in here. With you tonight" she flirted tracing her fingers up and down his arm.

"If you want to" he said shortly standing and going over to the window.

"You could at least pretend I'm not a desease" she said getting angry at his avoiding over her.

"I don't think that of you" he huffed

"Then why have you been avoiding me?"

"I haven't"

"It feels like your pulling away form me" she cried wrapping her arms around him and began kissing his neck.

"Gwen.." he moaned

"Let me stay" she whispered. He gave in turning around and crashing his lips to hers. Dragging her by the waist to the bed before pushing her onto her back, pushing her legs apart and settling between them. When he pushed inside her the only one on his mind was Merlin and how much he loved him. "OhArthur" she moaned wrapping her legs around him and pulling him as close as she could.

"OhgodI'vemissedyou" he panted squeezing his eyes shut imagining his manservants skinny hands were the ones pulling his hair and pinching his back.

"I'vemissedyoutoo" she groaned kissing the underside of his throat.

"So..close..." he panted before coming inside her biting his lip so he wouldn't scream Merlins name. Rolling off her to the side he realised he had no interest in his queen and if Merlin did ever come back to Camelot Arthur didn't care what he'd have to do, he'd lock him in the dungeons if necessary but he wouldn't let him go...
