Drugs pt.11
Hello, hope you are having a good day.
"Well, I just thought about it." Morgana said.
"We should go to sleep." Balinor said.
"Yeah."
So they all went to bed. The next morning, Merlin woke up when he heard Elizabeth cry. He got up and went to Elizabeth. He picked her up and calmed her down.
"It's ok, Elizabeth." Merlin whispered. Eventually Elizabeth went to sleep. Merlin put her down and went back to sleep. He was almost asleep when someone knocked on the front door. Merlin got up and went to the door. He opened the door. He saw Gwaine, Percival, Leon, Lancelot, and Elyan.
"You're here. You're back." Merlin gasped.
"Yes, Merlin. We are." Lancelot said. Merlin hugged Lancelot. Then Arthur came out. They all greeted each other. They went inside. Merlin moaned sleepily.
"I'm going to go back to bed." Merlin moaned. Merlin went back to his room only to find Morgana awake.
"What's all the noise out there?" Morgana asked.
"The knights. Gwaine, Leon, Elyan, Lancelot, and Percival are back. Arthur's with them so it's going to get loud out there." Merlin explained as he laid down on the bed.
"And what are you doing?"
"I'm going to sleep."
"Ok."
Morgana kissed Merlin's lips. Merlin went to sleep. Morgana got up and got dressed. She fed the twins. An hour later, Merlin woke up.
"Do you feel better?" Morgana asked.
"Yeah. How about you?" Merlin answered.
"Better."
"Good. We should go out. My mom most likely made breakfast already."
"Ok. Go get dressed."
SO Merlin got dressed. When he was dressed, Merlin and Morgana went out.
"What's she doing here?" Gwaine asked.
"It's ok, Gwaine. She's safe. The past is in the past." Merlin answered.
"How can you trust her?"
"Because she's my wife and the mother of my kids. I got twins that room trying to sleep and Morgana's pregnant. Our first child is in heaven."
"How do you know she didn't kill the baby?"
"Because Nimueh did. Nimueh and Morgause are back. We need to stop them."
"Breakfast's ready." Hunith said.
"We'll figure out what to do after breakfast." Merlin answered. SO they all ate breakfast. After breakfast, Merlin went to get the twins. They all sat in the living room and talked. Merlin was on the floor playing with the twins.
"Can I hold them?" Percival asked.
"Sure." Merlin replied. He handed Ethan to Percival. Everyone was surprised about how gentle Percival was. A few hours later, Ethan and Elizabeth were taking a nap while everyone was eating lunch.
"Mom." Merlin said.
"What Merlin?" Hunith asked.
"Thank you for making breakfast and lunch. You didn't have to."
"Yes, I did. You were too tired and Morgana needed the rest. I was more than happy to do it."
Merlin smiled. Hunith went to Merlin an kissed his forehead. Merlin kissed her cheek.
"I love you." Merlin whispered.
"I love you too." Hunith replied. Then Balinor came over. He hugged Merlin.
"I'm glad that we can be a family." Balinor sighed.
"Me too." Merlin said. When they had finished lunch, they went outside. They walked around.
"Wow, you have a lot of land." Lancelot said.
"Tell me about it. I have a few horses. I came by every once in a while to check on them. I needed something to keep me busy so I did what I grew up doing." Merlin explained.
"Must've been hard."
"It wasn't the funniest thing to do but it kept me busy."
"Well, now we're back."
"Yeah. I'm happy about that."
Then Merlin felt dizzy. He grabbed the fence and held on. Balinor went to him.
"What's wrong, Merlin?" Balinor questioned.
"I don't know but I feel..." Then Merlin collapsed. Balinor picked him up. He carried Merlin inside. Morgana was inside feeding the twins. She had just finished when Balinor came into the room with Merlin in his arms.
"What happened?" Morgana asked.
"He collapsed. We don't know why. Can you get Gaius?" Balinor answered.
"Ok."
Morgana went to get Gaius. Balinor lifted Merlin's shirt. He gasped when he saw the stab wounds. A lot of them were bleeding. Merlin opened his eyes slightly.
"Father?" Merlin wondered weakly. Balinor put his hand on Merlin's forehead.
"Hey, I'm here. Can you tell me how you got these stab wounds?" Balinor whispered. Then Merlin cried out in pain. Balinor tried to calm him down.
"It hurts."
Then Morgana came in with Gaius. Hunith followed. When she saw the stab wounds, she sighed.
"I should have known." Hunith said. She explained to Gaius and Balinor what happened. Morgana was holding Merlin's hand. Merlin cried in pain several times.
"It's worse. It hurts." Merlin cried. Balinor and Gaius went to Merlin.
"He has stab wounds all over. Even on his arms and legs." Hunith warned. SO Gaius and Balinor got what they needed to treat Merlin's wounds.
"Morgana, do you have anything we can give him for the pain?" Gaius asked.
"Yeah. I'll go get it." Morgana replied. She went to get Merlin something for the pain. She realized that Merlin did have something for the pain but it was drugs. She went back to the room. "I found something but he can't have it. He's been struggling with a drug issue. I don't want him to get addicted again."
"Ok. He probably shouldn't. I'll use my magic." Balinor sighed.
"Elizabeth. I want to hold her." Merlin groaned.
"No, Merlin. We need to treat your wounds."
"No, I want to hold her. Please, I just want to hold her."
"Ok."
Morgana got Elizabeth and handed her to Merlin. Merlin held her. Balinor was about to say the spell but the saw the magic surrounding Elizabeth and Merlin.
"What's going on?" Arthur asked when he came into the room and saw the magic.
"What you saw is proof that Elizabeth is powerful. She has the gift of healing. It's very powerful and is a lot of times looked down upon when it should be looked up to." Balinor explained.
"It doesn't hurt as much." Merlin panted.
"It won't."
SO they put Elizabeth in her crib. Gaius and Balinor cleaned Merlin's wounds.
