A.N: And here is the final chapter! It's more like an epilogue. It's rather short. I hope it lives up to your expectations. I'm really excited to get started on my new story, Music to Die For. I think you guys are gonna like that. It's a modern AU. It's got a singing Gwen. And a street fighting Arthur. And I can't wait for you guys to see the trailer! Well, enjoy the last chapter of Camelot Investigations! This was my first multi-chapter Arwen fic and though it was short, I'm pretty proud of it. The next one will be longer though. I hope you like this finale! Enjoy! :)

"I should have you fired."

Arthur crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe of his father's office. "You can't fire me if I quit."

"You can't just quit, Arthur."

"Then retire me." He tried.

"Arthur..."

"I want out. I want to live my own life. A quiet life..."

You're willing to give it all up. Your career... Everything you've worked so hard to achieve for her, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"What?" Arthur asked with confusion.

"Why are you confused? I wasn't kidding when I said I liked Gwen." Uther eyed him with his own confusion.

"Just like that? And I'm free from this?"

"Just like that."

"Really?" Arthur asked for good measure.

"Arthur..." Uther growled.

"Sorry... Just didn't think it would be so easy..."

"Easy like you involving the local police in a classified OP, stealing evidence from police headquarters and taking down a target all on your own?" Uther shook his head with a frown. "There will be some bureaucracy involved, but I am your director and you've taken down a target this agency has been after for quite some time. I think you've earned your retirement."

"I can't take all the credit..." He grinned. "I had help."

"Remind me to extend an invitation to Elena for dinner. I want to hear her side of the story."

"Is she going to get in trouble for helping me?"

"Helping you in what?" Uther asked with a knowing smile.

And just like that Arthur knew her involvement had been wiped clean. He turned toward the door with an understanding nod; but turned back toward his father when he remembered someone.

"There was a guard... An older man... What happened to him?"

"Oh... Officer Lewis finally has the means to retire properly. Poor bloke has been working his whole life. Last I heard, he and his wife have moved to the South of France. Did you know they've been married fifty years?"

"I didn't actually."

"She's lovely too." Uther smiled.

"Thanks, dad."

"For what?"

Arthur nodded. "Absolutely nothing."

He turned back toward the door to leave.

"Arthur…." Uther called to his retreating figure causing him to turn back around. "Did you ever find out what Lance wanted with you?"

"Oh… he um… had me confused with someone else." Arthur shrugged. "He was a total nutter."

"Well, I'm just glad he is no longer a threat."

"Me too…" Arthur turned back toward the door to leave.

"Give Gwen a kiss for me."

Arthur smiled softly as he walked out the door.

"I can't believe you got me arrested!"

"Sorry Merlin..." Arthur smiled sheepishly as he walked into the hospital and was confronted by his best friend. "If it's any consolation, it was a false arrest and it should be off your record eventually."

"So not the point, Arthur." Merlin glared. "Your sister had to bail me out because I wasn't a…" he lowered his voice to a whisper. "spy so your stupid agency didn't pay to get me out."

"Ex-agency…" Arthur corrected.

"What?" Merlin asked taken aback.

"I'm officially retired from the agency." He shrugged with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Merlin asked. "Can you do that?"

"Of course I can." Arthur shrugged. "There's gonna be some paperwork to sign… gag orders, probably… but overall, I'll just be a regular guy on the street… like you."

"Wow…" Merlin breathed out. "I would have thought your dad wanted you to follow in his footsteps and become director."

"He probably did… And once I may have wanted the same thing… but things are different now…"

"Gwen…" Merlin nodded understanding.

Arthur smiled. "Is she awake?"

"She's inside with your sister… who is not at all happy with you or your father. But she's not allowed to be stressed so she won't beat you to a bloody pulp until after the baby is born. You've been warned."

"Er… thank… you?" Arthur stretched.

"I bought you a few months to live blissfully with Gwen until Morgana kills you." Merlin shrugged.

"Thanks, buddy." Arthur gave him a tight smile.

"No sweat." Merlin shrugged. "Gwen's room is this way."

Arthur followed him down the hall toward a private room.

"The agency paid for her to have a private room but they let me rot in jail overnight." Merlin glared.

"Sorry about that." Arthur apologized.

"You were busy…" Merlin shrugged before knocking on the door to get the attention of the two women inside.

Gwen looked up as Morgana turned toward the door.

"Arthur…" Gwen breathed out with a smile.

Morgana stood and hugged her brother tightly before whispering in his ear. "You're not off the hook. Mum and I are calling a family meeting and we want to know everything you and dad have been up to."

Arthur swallowed roughly before nodding with a smile.

"I'm glad you're okay." Morgana added. "And you owe me fifteen hundred pounds for getting my fiancé arrested."

Arthur snapped his head toward Merlin. "When did you propose?"

"I kind of had no choice to do it last night when they gave me back my belongings and one of them was an engagement ring…" Merlin shrugged. "It wasn't romantic or anything but she said yes… so… I guess we're gonna be brothers…. By law anyway."

Arthur hugged them both. "Congratulations."

"Thank you…" Morgana smiled before turning back toward Gwen. "We'll leave you two to talk."

Merlin took Morgana's hand in his and led her out of the room closing the door softly behind him. Arthur walked toward the bed in the center of the room and lifted the bouquet he had in his hand.

Gwen smiled. "Gillyflowers… my favorite."

He handed them to her and sat in the same chair Morgana had vacated. "How are you feeling?"

"Like some bastard hit me over and over again…" she shrugged. "I'm okay though… nothing's broken, there's no internal bleeding and luckily no concussion."

He folded his hands in front of him and leaned forward. "Gwen… I'm so sorry… I shouldn't have let you get involved."

"Arthur, you didn't let me… I wanted to." She smiled. "And I should be thanking you for saving my life."

"You did well without me."

"But you came for me. I'll never forget that." She smiled and stretched her hand toward him. He held her hand in his. She was watching their hands fit together when she remembered something. "Lance was going on and on about how much I meant to you… I figured he was just acting mad… but… I'm not so sure anymore…." She looked up at him as he leaned closer. "Was he telling the truth, Arthur?"

Arthur squeezed her hand in his. "This wasn't how I wanted you to find out."

"Find out what?"

"That I'm in love with you…." He blurted.

Gwen gasped. "Wha-what?"

He shrugged. "I have been for a really long time… It's just with my line of work and all the secrets I was keeping… the agency encourages us to not have any relationships… not any outside of work anyway."

She watched him sadly.

"But I was spending so much time with you and Merlin and my family… and there were times I'd forget that I was undercover… that you were all part of my cover… I'd pretend that I really was just some private investigator who used to be a detective."

"And now?"

"And now… I can be…" he smiled.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"I quit this morning…" he corrected himself. "Well, I'm being retired. I think it's time I made Camelot Investigations legit. It turns out that I like being a private investigator and I'm actually really good at it…. Besides I have the best team anyone can ask for already."

She grinned. "Merlin is a terrible photographer."

He nodded. "That's true… but as long as you stay that doesn't matter."

She frowned. "But… why me?"

"What do you mean?" he asked with confusion.

"Just… you can have anyone…. super secret spy or not…. you're Arthur Pendragon… Elena, Mithian…." She made a face. "Vivian… you can have any one of them…. Why do you want me? I'm nothing like them."

He smiled softly and tucked a stray curl behind her ear. "That's exactly why. I don't want them, Guinevere. I want you… and only you. That is if you'll still have me…."

She smirked. "Well, now that you're not a spy… the appeal does sort of wear off…."

He cut her off with his lips and he closed the distance between them. Gwen moaned into the kiss and he deepened it angling his head to the side. He let the tip of his tongue touch the seam of her lips and when she gasped, he was granted entrance into the deepest crevices of her sweet, delicious mouth. If it wasn't for the need to allow oxygen into their lungs, he wouldn't have pulled away. He pulled back slowly and looked into her eyes. Her mouth was gaping and her eyes were glassy.

"Has the appeal completely worn off?" he asked breathlessly.

She let her mouth form into a slow smile. "Not sure… might have to kiss me again to test it out." She wrapped her hand around the collar of his shirt and closed the distance between them again. He grinned into their kiss and cupped her face in his hand as she took control this time.

Merlin and Morgana opened the door and closed it swiftly when they found the pair in an embrace.

"Well, looks like this little one will have a playmate soon enough…" Morgana said rubbing her growing belly.

Merlin's eyes widened and he cringed. "Awe man, Morgana… I have to work with them, you know… They're never going to be able to keep their hands off each other."

"I suggest you learn how to knock, dear…" Morgana lightly patted his cheek before placing a chaste kiss on it and giving him a flirty wink. "For your sake… not theirs."
