Hey guys,
Here's another chapter for you.
Sorry for the late update, it has nearly be a week but I hope you enjoy,
This chapter is about us finally finding out about Gwen, it's a key point in the story:P
Thanks for all the reviews last week (they were mostly saying the same thing:-)) and thanks for all the people that have been following and favouriting as well:)
Just listening to Jason Mraz 'I Won't Give Up' and have had Elle Goulding 'Anything can happen' stuck in my head all day.
Back to Merlin and I hope you like the chapter and please review!
Arthur could help but wonder what Gwen was going to tell Merlin and Gaius as they walked down the corridors. He looked at Tom; he gave a small smile to Arthur and then continued to watch the vision.

Merlin, Gaius and Gwen walked down the corridors of Camelot. They had been walking for a few minutes now. Merlin and Gaius let Gwen walk in front of them. They had to walk extremely fast. Whatever Gwen was going to tell them she certainly was in a rush.
They finally reached Gwen's room. Merlin suspected that this was where she was taking them but he still had no idea what she was going to tell them.
She walked over to the other side of the room and looked out of the window. Gaius closed the door after he and Merlin entered after her.
"What is it you want to tell us My Lady?" Gaius asked. Gwen turned back round to face them, as if distracted.
"Oh," Gwen said. "You'd better sit down." They took her offer. Gaius pulled out a chair from a nearby table and Merlin followed his lead. Gwen stood opposite them and started pacing back and forth.
"There is a matter I would like to discuss with you before anyone else." She said. She stopped pacing and faced them both. "I've known you for a long time, especially you, Gaius. Can you two give me your word to not tell anyone about what I am about to tell you."
"You have my word." Gaius said.
"Same with me, Gwen," Merlin said.
"Ok," she smiled. "There is something that I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Gaius asked. Gwen looked behind her. A few moments later she looked back and said
"I think I may be… with." Merlin could feel his mouth open but he didn't bother to close it.
"Are you sure Guinevere?" Gaius asked.
"Yes," She said firmly.
"My Lady, this is not an issue that can be dealt with easily, are you sure that you are with child?" Gaius asked.
"I'm certain," Gwen said definitely.
"But how do you know?" Merlin asked.
"I've had ways of knowing, trust me." Gwen said.
"I do," Merlin said quietly.
"Well I better check you over Gwen, just to be sure." Gaius said.
"Yes, of course." Gwen said nervously.
"Will two at noon be alright?" Gaius asked. Gwen thought for a moment and then answered
"Yes, I suppose that would be okay." Gaius nodded, Merlin did to but it looked like he was only half listening. Gwen smiled but still looked nervous. She started pacing again and her hands were clutched together beneath her chin.
"Don't worry child, I'm sure everything will be alright whatever happens." Gaius reassured.
"I hope so." Gwen said. Gaius smiled and then got up to leave, Merlin did to.
"Don't tell anyone," Gwen pleaded.
"Of course not," Gaius said. Gwen smiled. Gaius and Merlin left.
The vision kept on going on but it was just Merlin and Gaius walking down the corridors, back to their chambers.

Arthur starred at the vision, what he had just heard was finally starting to sink in. Gwen was pregnant, his wife. He was going to have a child. Arthur's excitement lingered for a few more moments and then the bad news started to come towards him. He was dead; he would never hold his son or daughter. His son or daughter would never know him; his child would only hear stories about him, probably how he was a great King, but he would never be able to tell his child the stories first hand. The times when Merlin annoyed him or all of the quests he went on with his fellow Knights. But Merlin and the Knights were alive. Even though he was gone and Gwen would be a single mother, Merlin, the Knights and Gaius will always be there to help. They would never give up. Gwen wasn't alone at all. The happiness started to return.
"Pregnant," he heard Elyan say. Before he looked up, Arthur wasn't sure if he was happy or angry but when he did look up he saw a smile. Not just from Elyan but from all three of them.
"My boy." Tom said, patting Arthur on the back. Arthur gave a shaky laugh.
"Thanks," he said.
"I'm finally going to have a grandchild!" Heather smiled.
"I wonder if it will be a girl or a boy?" Elyan said.
"Why did she seem so worried about it though?" Arthur asked with concern.
"Every woman is worried when pregnant. She will have to raise the child alone after all and she's a Queen. Announcing it won't be easy."
"Of course," Arthur agreed. "But she won't be alone. I know my people and my servants, Gaius and Merlin especially. They will help her." He knew that it wouldn't be as hard as announcing Merlin's magic, she was having a child, the heir to the Camelot throne. Camelot would still belong to the Pendragon's for a while longer. They got distracted when Merlin saw Leon in the corridor.

Merlin hadn't really talked to any of the Knights since they found out his secret.
"Hi," Merlin said.
"Hi," Leon replied. He smiled for a second but then his face turned straight again when he remembered. Merlin looked down at the floor with a sad expression; they still didn't accept him for who he truly was. Gaius patted him on the back and nodded at Leon they started to walk the opposite directions. Leon stopped and turned round.
"Merlin," he said in an apologetic voice. Obviously it wasn't loud enough to hear because Merlin and Gaius were still walking, Leon shook his head ever so slightly and turned back round to continue walking.
Merlin and Gaius finally got back to their chambers. Gaius closed the door and Merlin smiled widely.
"Gwen's pregnant," he said.
"Well we don't know for sure yet." Gaius said.
"But she seemed so certain."
"Yes, she did."
"Do you believe her?"
"I do, but sometimes it can be a mistake. Gwen is still grieving Arthur's death she would want everything that was still connected to Arthur and a child would be all that's left of him." Merlin was still suffering from Arthur's death. The thought of not seeing him around was hard; Arthur said that he would give him two days off, it had been longer than that.
"I hope she's pregnant." Merlin whispered. "If she is then maybe I would still have a point in life. I need to do my part. Looking after Arthur's child would help, I would be respecting his memory. I owe Arthur everything." Merlin said.
"You don't," Gaius said.
"Maybe not, but I still feel like I do, I'm not sure if I'll ever get over his death,"
AW
Arthur felt touched at his words. He knew that Merlin didn't owe him anything but owed everything to himself, if only there was a way to tell him that.
But Arthur too hoped Gwen was pregnant. If Gaius' words were true, that she was just desperate then he wasn't sure if he would be able to watch Gwen find out and be devastated. This was her only chance to have a child, his child. If she wasn't pregnant then the Pendragon reign would end after their Queen died.
Ooh, I hope you guys liked the chapter:P
Is she pregnant?
Next one should be up soon.
Thanks to 'camoc' for suggesting the idea that Gwen would be pregnant:P and 'Motaku1235', 'Lady Blade WarAngel', 'Booklover0608' and 'BlueMoonMaples' for guessing that she was pregnant and 'Neusuada' was that what you were predicting? And if not it could be a good suggestion for one of the future chapters:P
Please review if you have the chance:D
Thank you again for all the people that have been following and favouriting it means a lot!
So until next time goodbye:-)
Reviews are always welcome!
