Why Me pt.9

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

No one knew what was going on. A few hours later, Merlin sighed.

"We should be getting home." Merlin sighed.

"Yeah." Freya agreed. So they went home. By the time they got home, Merlin started coughing. When they got into the house, Merlin had a coughing fit.

"I'm going to go to the basement and see Rosemary and your parents. You should get some rest." Freya said.

"Ok." Merlin answered. SO Merlin went their room and got in bed. He tried to sleep but couldn't. A few minutes later, Freya came in with Rosemary. Rosemary walked up to Merlin and Merlin picked her up.

"Hey, sweetie. Have you been a good girl?" Merlin asked. Rosemary nodded. "Good." Then Merlin started coughing. Rosemary started to cry.

"Let's get you to bed, Rosemary." Freya quietly sighed. Freya took Rosemary to bed. Merlin could hear her coughing. When Freya came back they both had started coughing. Hunith came in. She checked to see if either of them had a fever.

"Both of you have a fever. I want both of you to get some sleep." Hunith ordered. Freya got into bed and Hunith left. Merlin and Freya slept. That night, Merlin and Freya woke up coughing. Merlin coughed up blood. He saw that blood was on his hand. He looked at Freya and got out of bed.

"We need to go to the hospital." Merlin sternly said. Freya got out of bed and then they went out. Merlin's parents were out there. "We need to go to the hospital. I'm coughing up blood."

Hunith got Rosemary and they all got into the van. They drove to the hospital. They went to the ER and saw several other people. Merlin and Freya were taken to get treated. They got both of them into bed and hooked tubes up to them. Merlin was coughing even more. Blood covered his lips and chin. Freya had just started coughing up blood. One doctor came up to both of them.

"How do you 2 feel?" She asked.

"Not good." Merlin answered.

"Horrible. What about the baby?" Freya replied.

"We checked the baby and its fine. My name is Dr. Linda Kimura." Linda said.

"Do you know what we have?"

"Not yet."

Merlin groaned as he felt pain in his side.

"What is it?" Linda asked concernedly.

"My side. It feels like I've been stabbed." Merlin panted.

"You're panting, coughing up blood, and in pain."

"SO?"

"I think I know what this is."

Then Linda left. She went to the FBI. The team came in.

"Let's get started." Hotch ordered.

"Last night, 30 people came in having the same symptoms. It's like the anthrax case except it's more powerful and painfully." Linda explained.

"What about Freya and Merlin?" Arthur wondered.

"They have it. The baby is safe but we don't know why."

"Spencer, you go to the hospital. Talk to the patients." Hotch ordered. Then he told the others what they needed to do. Spencer and Linda went to the hospital. Spencer went to see Merlin and Freya. Both were weak and tired. Freya was asleep.

"Merlin, I want to talk to you about what happened at the park." Spencer said. "I want you to close your eyes." Merlin closed his eyes. "Go back to the park. Tell me what you were doing and feeling."

"It was warm. It was sunny and windy. I was holding Freya's hand and we were walking. We were talking about what we would name the baby." Merlin rasped. Then he tried to get up. "Is the baby fine?"

"Yes, the baby is fine. Now relax before you get any worse." Linda said. Merlin nodded and did as he was told. Linda and Spencer left. They saw Balinor who was going to see Freya and Merlin.

"How are they?" Balinor wondered.

"They're fine. Can you tell us why the baby is safe?" Linda answered.

"I'll show you." Balinor replied. They went to see Freya and Merlin again. Balinor chanted a spell. They saw gold coming from Merlin's body into the baby's and blue going into the baby from Freya. "Merlin's and Freya's magic is protecting the baby. Merlin's magic is gold because of the fact he's a warlock and dragonlord and Freya's is blue because she's a druid."

Then Merlin had a seizure.
