Thankyou so much for reviewing , all of your reviews have made my day :) xxx
Harmony4Eva & Kreuse - I've decided that i'll add 3 more chapters to the story. This is the 1st of the 3. :)
As Arthur was not in danger anymore, no-one was allowed to stay in the hospital through the night so after saying her goodbye to Arthur, Morgana and Merlin drove off to Lancelot's house so Morgana could grab her stuff and to speak to him while Gwen went back to her house.
Merlin parked his car near Lancelot's house. "You want me to come in?" He asked.
"No , I think it would be better if i went on my own so i could speak to him."
"You sure?"
"Positive." Morgana smiled. "But you should go Merlin. I've going to be driving my car." Morgana said as she pointed to her car that was parked near Lancelot's house.
"No, I'll wait till you come out and then we'll have a race to see who gets home quickest." Merlin grinned; he always tried to lighten the atmosphere and cheer everyone up.
Morgana smiled at him. She opened the car door and stepped out of the car, quickly she walked to Lancelot's house and knocked on the door but there was no reply, after two more attempts Lancelot opened the door, his face was expressionless.
"Hey Lance." She said even though she knew he wasn't going to answer and he didn't. Nevertheless she carried on "I came to get my stuff."
Lancelot looked at her one more time before he walked away into the living room, leaving the front door open for Morgana to enter.
Morgana walked in quietly and shut the door, immediately she went upstairs to grab her stuff. After a few minutes she came down with the suitcase she brought into the house packed with all her stuff and walked into the living room to speak to Lancelot; to make him understand that him and her were never meant to be , it was always her and Arthur. She spotted Lancelot sitting on the seat near the table with his forehead laid on his entwined hands. "Lance." She slowly said but Lancelot didn't respond. "Lance." She said his name again as she walked forward but as she expected no response came back from him. She wanted to make things right, she needed Lancelot but only as a friend. "I know you don't want to talk to me , I'm...I'm sorry." She said even though she knew she didn't make a mistake.
Lancelot made no movement.
"Thanks for everything you done for me, you're a true friend." She said while hoping that he would speak to her but to her disappointment he didn't reply. "Bye." Morgana said her farewell with a sad sigh, she turned around knowing that he wasn't going to listen or speak to her.
"Why?" Lancelot questioned without facing her.
Morgana instantly turned around with a frowned expression; she didn't know what he was trying to ask her but she was glad that he spoke to her.
Lancelot lifted his forehead up and he unfolded his entwined hands and got up. "Why Morgana, why did you do this to me?"
"Lance..."
He walked slowly towards her "You know how much i love you."
Morgana let out a sigh, "And you know how much i love Arthur."
Lancelot's temper started rising as he shouted, "Arthur, Arthur, Arthur, he's the only one you care for."
"You're saying as if it's a bad thing?"
"Yes it is, you should be caring about me."
"You don't know what you're on about." She said as her voice got louder; she couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
"You don't know how much i want you."
"Want?" She said the word with a mocking laugh, she couldn't believe him. "You want me but i need Arthur." She said emphasising on the word 'need'.
"Morgana, please i love you." He said pleadingly.
Morgana was quiet for a few seconds before she spoke "I know but i don't love you , i can't see you more than a friend."
"Morg..."
"There's no point of this conversation." Morgana said with finally. How hard was it for him to understand that she loved Arthur?
"There is." Lancelot said as he gripped her arms with abit too much force.
"Get off me." Morgana shouted, regretting why she even came here now.
"He doesn't deserve you Morgana, he betrayed you, remember?"
"It was a mistake Lance, he was drunk."
"What a lame excuse."
"I trust him." Morgana said while she tried to get out of his grasp.
Lancelot couldn't give up; he wouldn't, he deserved Morgana not Arthur. He tried reasoning again ,"And i love you and i want you to choose me over him."
"Never." She immediately replied. "It's him, it's always been him, and he's the one that I love."
"Morg..."
"I love Arthur, always have and always will." Morgana said each word slowly, hoping to get it into Lancelot's brain.
"Please." This time he pleaded.
Morgana felt sorry for him, why was he making this so difficult for her. "I'm sorry." She sighed and made no eye contact with him.
Looking at her one more time Lancelot released her arms and turned away from her. He knew her mind was made up, he had no chance with her.
Morgana looked at Lancelot who had turned away from her. "I hope we can still be friends." That was the last thing she said as she picked up her suitcase, grabbed her keys from the drawer and walked out of the living room without looking back at Lancelot. She opened the front door and closed it without a word.
A Week Later
Morgana was reading a book while she had her head laid on top of Arthur's knees who had recovered from his injuries and was sitting watching her admirably. He ran his hand through her hair; something which he loved doing.
"Let's get married." Arthur said after a few minutes of silence.
Morgana stopped reading and looked at Arthur, his eyes were focused on her. Quietly she sat up and faced him. She was silent for a while before she spoke. "Arth..."
"Please." he interrupted. "We're engaged and now i want you to marry me. You have been my past, my present and i want you to be my future Morgana."
"I..." Morgana tried again and was getting irritated because Arthur interrupted her again.
"Please Morgana, let's get married, it will be all perfect, i..."
Arthur's words drowned back into his mouth as Morgana pushed her lips on Arthur's and she began kissing him. To her amusement Arthur also responded back to the kiss and he kissed her passionately. His hand tangled into her hair and he ran his hand down her back. Morgana's hand ran smoothly down Arthur's neck. They lips parted as they tried to catch their breath back.
"You talk too much."
Arthur smiled "You never reply."
"You never give me the chance to." She said with a teasing smile.
"Ok, so?"
"So what?" Morgana said with a smirk.
Arthur rolled his eyes, "Stop making me anxious Morgana and tell me."
"Arthur, you're my fiancé and the love of my life , of course I'll marry you." She smiled; she wanted this as much as he did.
This time it was Arthur's lips that captured hers. "I love you." He said as he parted his lips from her's to catch his breath back.
"I love you too."
2 Weeks Later
Morgana and Arthur were sitting in the living room talking with Merlin. Morgana was sitting with Arthur while he had his arm around her shoulders and Merlin was sitting on the opposite sofa.
"I can't believe me and Arthur are getting married in 2 days." Morgana said excitingly.
"Of course, marrying Arthur sounds like a nightmare." Merlin said with a teasing smirk.
Morgana chuckled but Arthur didn't find it funny, that's why he threw a cushion which hit Merlin on the face.
"Ouch." Merlin moaned even though the cushion didn't hurt him.
Arthur smirked while he faced Morgana "Anyways what were you saying Morgana?"
"I said, i can't believe you and me are getting married in 2 days."
"I know it's hard to believe Morgana, I'm every girl's dream."
"More like every girl's nightmare." Merlin interrupted and ducked the second cushion Arthur threw at him.
Morgana giggled.
"Merlin , if you say anything silly one more time then you won't get a cushion but a sofa thrown at you." Arthur said while he raised both of his eyebrows.
"You got to be strong to do that , a strength which only a few people like me have."
Arthur faked a laugh "Ha ha ha , cut the crap would you Merlin."
"Stop fighting both of you." Morgana scolded them.
Arthur smirked "You're acting as if you're our mother."
"Well i will if you two don't stop acting like children." Morgana said as she crossed her arms.
Merlin smiled before he changed the topic "So, remind me again, who's coming to the wedding again?"
Arthur stared at Merlin as if he asked a very personal question.
"What?" Merlin questioned noticing Arthur's expression.
"Merlin where's you mind these days? I told you two times already."
"Well it won't hurt to remind me again."
"Just shut up Merlin. Anyhow i'll tell you, as we only want our families attending this marriage, there would be only 12 people attending."
"12?"
"Yes Merlin 12. It would be you, Gaius, Leon, Nimueh, Morgause, Morgana's mother , Uther , Guinevere, Percival, Elyan ,Sophia and Morgana's cousin Freya ."
"And Lance, so it would be 13 people." Morgana added.
"Yes i almost forgot Lancelot."
"And you were asking me where my mind is these days?" Merlin said as he shook his head.
Arthur gave Merlin a look that Merlin actually began to wonder if Arthur was actually going to throw the sofa at him even though he knew he wouldn't but this is Arthur Pendragon we're on about.
A door knock interrupted there conversation.
Merlin quietly sighed in relief.
Morgana looked at Arthur "I wonder who's here?"
"We'll only find out when we open the door." Said Arthur.
Morgana rolled her eyes"Well done clever clogs." She said as she got up and walked out of the living room.
Morgana opened the front door, she was surprised to see the person standing in front of her. "Gwen?"
"Morgana." Gwen said with a sigh.
Morgana noticed that Gwen had tears in her eyes. "What happ..."
"Where's Arthur?" Gwen interrupted.
"He's inside." Morgana said as she pointed to the living room. "Why?"
But instead of replying Gwen barged in through the door and in to the living room where she spotted Arthur on the sofa.
"Guinevere?" Arthur said when he spotted her. He wasn't expecting to see her, he also noticed Morgana walking in the living room with a frowned expression. He stood up looking at Gwen's tearful face. "What happened?"
Instead of replying, Gwen ran and hugged him tightly, her arms surrounding his neck.
Unsure of what to do he tapped her lightly on the back a few times noticing the glares he was getting from Morgana before he pulled her arms from his neck and took a step back.
Gwen looked at him shockingly before she spoke "Arthur, you can't marry Morgana."
Arthur was quiet for a while; unsure of what he was hearing was right or not. "What?"
"I said you can't marry Morgana."
"Why?" Morgana questioned as she stepped closer to them.
"Because i said so." Gwen cried.
"I don't remember us asking for you permission." Morgana said sharply while she crossed her arms. Everything had changed between Morgana and Gwen; Morgana didn't see Gwen as her best friend anymore; maybe because Morgana still has memories of the night when Gwen and Arthur slept together and now she can't stand to see Gwen anywhere near him.
Gwen didn't reply back to her, her eyes turned to Arthur. "Please Arthur."
Arthur couldn't understand, what had got into Guinevere? and why was she behaving like this?
Merlin awkwardly looked at the trio standing in the room, he decided to speak, "Gwen tell us what happened."
Gwen nodded before she took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."
Morgana's body froze, her eyes widened. She turned to face Arthur who also looked shocked; his gaze met Morgana's.
"And the father of my unborn baby is..."
Morgana took a deep breath, somewhere inside her she had an inkling who the father is and she was hoping that it wasn't the person she was thinking it was.
