King Arthur doesn't belong to me.

REVIEW:

"Hey guys, how was it?" asked Ayla.

"Yea did she wake up?" asked Katarina.

&&&&&

The looks that the two young women received spoke in volumes and Katarina flinched, "How bad was it?"

"That child surely came from the deepest of hells." said Lancelot pointing an accusing finger at the sleeping child.

Ayla's jaw dropped to the floor, "Shame on you!"

Addy started crying at all of the noise causing the knights to groan, "We just got her to sleep!"

"Why did you have to wake her up?"

"See it is from hell!"

Ayla shook her head as did Katarina, "Heaven help whoever ends up as your kids."

Ayla went and picked up Addy and began rocking side to side as she walked around the room, "I told you they couldn't do it."

"Well sorry I thought they were smart enough to handle a baby." said Katarina plopping on her bed. Addy's crying slowed to a whimper just as she fell asleep.

"She wouldn't be quiet." moaned Tristan.

"Did you try holding her and rocking a little?" asked Ayla.

"Well no…"

"None of u…"

"We really di…"

"Never mind about it you four obviously can't be left alone with her." said Ayla.

"Yea its just as well that we found her parents." said Katarina.

"When?"

"About two hours ago. It wasn't very long after we left but we decided that we wanted to try and relax and help some other people."

"Where are her parents?" Solin grounded out through a clenched jaw.

"They'll be by tomorrow morning to get her, they want to make sure the house is clean enough." said Katarina.

"You mean we watched that little demon so that you could do nothing?" asked Arthur.

"She is not a little demon and I'd like it if you wouldn't call her one." said Ayla.

"She is so! She could not stop her crying, then she created the worse smell I have ever smelled in my life, then she spit up all her food on us, and she pulled my hair!" exclaimed Lancelot.

"That's what babies do Lancelot eat, sleep, cry, and poop. Outside of those four things there really isn't much to it, and I thought that you could handle it but I was seriously wrong." said Katarina.

"And you wonder why I think he's a complete dolt." said Ayla rolling her eyes.

"Well right now I am forced to agree with you." said Katarina. The knights were still not in-tune with some of the girls' words but they could sense the insult.

"I will never go near that hellion or any for that matter as long as I live." spat Solin leaving the room.

"Yea and that means no sex." said Katarina as the others followed Solin.

"If it would rid the world of such monsters then I would gladly give it up!" yelled Lancelot slamming the door behind him.

"We could have tried to give them more help when we left." laughed Katarina.

"Well neither one of us thought that she'd wake up, but I think that she is my new hero." said Ayla laying the sleeping baby on the bed.

"I have to say it's a pretty funny idea of Lancelot getting his hair pulled by a baby." giggled Katarina.

"Yea too bad she didn't straighten out those curls though cuz I mean it really makes a girl wonder about…"

Katarina kicked her friend in the shin then started hopping around holding her foot, "Geez I didn't know your shin was so boney!"

"Ha! Its called Karma ya big fat butt-munchkin." laughed Ayla.

"Yea well turn around so I can kick your butt cuz you've got enough padding there to stop a semi-truck!" exclaimed.

Ayla's jaw dropped to the floor, "Take that back!" "

It would be a lie if I did." said Katarina, "And I don't like to lie."

"Yea right." Ayla said rolling her eyes.

"Now you take that back!" exclaimed Katarina.

"Um let me think about that one, hmm ah I think not." said Ayla.

"Forget this crap I'm going to go train." said Katarina walking to the door.

"For what the kissie face Olympics?" asked Ayla. Katarina slammed the door behind her successfully waking Addy up. The next morning Addy was returned to her parents where they found out that her real name was Ella. Later that afternoon the knights received word that they would be leaving on a mission in three days. Katarina was standing on the wall with Lancelot's arms around her waist and his chin resting on her shoulder's.

Lancelot kissed her cheek making Kat smile, "So you forgive me about the baby thing?" Lancelot kissed her cheek again.

"That's a yes." Katarina said answering her own question.

Katarina leaned her head back against Lancelot's shoulder looking at his face, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"You're lying." said Katarina frowning.

"No I assure you I am not." said Lancelot.

"Yes you are, your left eyebrow twitches a little when you lie to me." said Katarina.

"I only move because I am with the most beautiful woman in all of Britain." said Lancelot kissing Katarina lightly on the lips.

"Nice try buster but what is going on?" asked Katarina.

Lancelot shook his head and looked out at the setting sun, "It is no different a feeling then when I leave for any other mission."

"You will come back." Katarina said with a finality.

"How is it that you know?" asked Lancelot.

"Because if you did leave me here all alone then I might be mad enough and bring you back to life, then kill you myself for leaving me." said Katarina.

Lancelot chuckled and kissed Katarina, "What purpose would that serve for either one of us?"

"Well we could see each other one last time, and I could have closure." answered Katarina. Lancelot smiled hugging Katarina closer to him thinking to himself that he would never willingly leave Katarina. She always seemed to be able to put him at peace especially when he had to leave for a mission whether it was a smile, hug, or kiss. Katarina jested about him living through all his missions saying that he was too stubborn to die, but something about her words gave him peace.

"We should come up here again tomorrow and watch the sunset." suggested Katarina.

"I can think of another place I would rather be." Lancelot whispered into her neck.

"Oh hey Ayla!" said Katarina. Lancelot jumped a foot in the air away from Katarina looking around for a potential escape rout. Katarina doubled over in laughter and Lancelot glared realizing it was all a jest.

"That was not funny." snapped Lancelot.

Katarina spoke through her laughs, "Yes…it…was." Lancelot began approaching her causing Katarina to sober up quickly and start running down the stairs. Katarina fought the laughter bubbling in her as she raced past all of the buildings, but she made a sharp turn and ran into the stables diving into an empty stall. Katarina heard Lancelot enter and covered her mouth trying not to laugh as she imagined Lancelot's face. Lancelot jumped in front of her and she jumped back with a yelped mixed laugh. Lancelot smirked and grabbed Katarina's arms and pulled her to him. Lancelot wrapped is arms over hers so that they were pinned at her sides as he pulled her back to his chest.

"Your mouth will get you into trouble one day Lancelot whispered in her ear.

Katarina fought to focus, "Just as yours will." Lancelot's mouth gently pressed against Kat's neck but her eyes grew large for another reason.

"Ayla!" Katarina found herself exclaiming. Katarina felt frozen in place as she saw Ayla and Tristan in a similar position that she and Lancelot had been in the first night they had found themselves at the fort. Ayla had a hand in Tristan's hair and the other was clutching the bottom of his shirt, one of Tristan's hands was lost in Ayla's hair and the other was gliding up and under her shirt. Lancelot looked up and became as shocked as Katarina, Ayla and Tristan turned and saw the other two.

Ayla's face became cherry red Katarina turned and walked away with Lancelot closely following as she called out, "It will take forever to get that image out of my head!" Katarina didn't watch where she was going and ran into Neo but Lancelot caught her before she hit the ground.

"What's wrong Kat?"

"Safe to say that I think Ayla's picked." answered Katarina running a hand through her hair.

"I know." Neo said with a nod.

"What?" Katarina asked glaring. Lancelot recognized Katarina's tone and from behind her he started mouthing 'RUN', and trying to get Neo to leave.

"What did you say about Ayla choosing?" asked Katarina in a dangerous voice, "Lancelot if you don't stop waving your arms I will punch your lights out! When did you know?"

"A we…not very long." answered Neo.

"You knew a week!" exclaimed Katarina.

"Two." offered Neo lamely.

She stomped on his foot yelling, "Thanks for the info!" as she pushed past Lancelot to the stables. Tristan and Ayla were walking towards the door but dropped each other's hand when Katarina burst through.

Ayla looked panicked and Tristan tried to cover his suspicions of Kat's behavior. Katarina got right into Tristan's face pointing, "If you ever hurt Ayla, I will introduce you the full meaning of castration. And that'll only be the warm-up, you've been warned."

She punched Ayla in the arm, "And that's for not telling me, but telling Neo." Katarina turned on her heel and stomped out.

Lancelot followed Katarina at a safe distance, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know yet!" Katarina yelled over her shoulder.
