Hello, hope you are having a good day.
3 months later
Everyone was working outside. Sara was helping Merlin with the animals. They were feeding the horses when Sara winced.
"What's wrong?" Merlin asked.
"It's nothing." Sara answered. Then Sara winced again. Merlin saw it and went to her.
"Something's wrong. You're in pain."
"I'm fine."
"No, you're not. What's wrong?"
"The baby. I'm in a lot of pain."
"Let's go inside. We're done with the animals."
"Ok."
SO they went inside. Sara sat down on the bed. Merlin got Sara a cup of water. He gave Sara the cup. Sara drank what she could. When she was done, she panted.
"Lie down." Merlin said as he took the cup. Sara nodded. She laid down as Merlin took care of the cup. Then he went back over to her. "DO you feel better?"
"A little bit." Sara answered.
"Get some rest."
Sara went to sleep. Merlin watched over her. An hour later, Hunith and Balinor came in.
"What's wrong with Sara?" Hunith asked.
"She was in pain earlier. We came back inside and I told her to rest." Merlin answered.
"I hope she's ok."
Then Sara opened her eyes.
"Merlin?" Sara moaned. Merlin grabbed her hand and squeezing it gently.
"What is it?" Merlin wondered.
"I don't feel good. I just want to rest in our bed."
"Ok."
Merlin gently picked Sara up and carried her to bed. He put Sara on their bed. He was about to cover her but Sara stopped him.
"No, don't cover me." Sara panted.
"Why?" Merlin asked.
"Go get Hunith."
"Why?"
"Because I'm about to give birth. This baby isn't going to wait any longer."
Merlin got up and went to get Hunith.
"Mother, Sara's about to give birth." Merlin said. Balinor, Hunith, and Merlin went to their room. Hunith went to Sara and checked her over.
"You're right." Hunith answered. They did what they could for Sara. An hour later, Hunith was breathless. She groaned painfully. Balinor and Merlin saw it.
"Mother, go rest. We can handle this." Merlin suggested.
"Balinor, I'm going to give birth."
"Are you sure?" Balinor asked.
"Yes."
Balinor and Merlin looked at each other.
"Go take care of her. I can handle this." Merlin ordered.
"Ok." Balinor answered. So Balinor and Hunith went to their room. Balinor helped Hunith as she gave birth. A few hours later, Merlin and Sara heard a cry from Hunith and Balinor's room.
"We're almost there." Merlin calmly said. Within minutes, Sara gave birth to a boy. "It's a boy."
Sara gasped and relaxed. Merlin made sure that the baby was ok.
"Is he ok?" Sara asked. Merlin came over. He had wrapped the baby in a blanket.
"Only time will tell." Merlin answered. He sat down on the bed and gave the baby to Sara.
"He's so tiny."
"Yes, he is."
"Jonathan."
"I like that. Jonathan Percival."
"Yes."
Then Lucille came in.
"Mother gave birth to a girl. They named her Isabelle." Lucille said.
"Tell them that Sara gave birth to a boy and we named him Jonathan." Merlin answered.
"Is he ok?"
"Only time will tell."
Then Lucille left. Merlin looked at Sara and saw how tired she was. He put his hand on her knee.
"Go to sleep. I'll watch over him." Merlin whispered. Sara nodded. She gave Jonathan to Merlin. She got comfortable and then went to sleep. Merlin held Jonathan in his arms. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in."
Balinor came in. He went over to Merlin.
"How are they?" Balinor wondered.
"Sara's fine. She's sleeping. I'm holding Jonathan. We should probably watch him closely. I don't know if he's ok." Merlin explained.
"Can I hold him?"
"Sure."
Merlin gave Jonathan to Balinor. Balinor used magic and made sure that Jonathan was ok.
"He's fine right now." Balinor whispered.
"Thanks. How's mother?" Merlin answered.
"She's fine. She's holding Isabelle. Isabelle is a lot like you. Only difference is, is that she's bigger."
"They were only born minutes apart."
"Yeah. Lucille loves Isabelle. She got a chance to hold her and she loved it."
"Let me guess, Luke is in his room."
"Yeah."
"One day."
"Yeah, I know."
Merlin sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Balinor asked.
"Nothing. I'm just tired." Merlin sighed.
"You need to rest."
"I can't. Not till Sara's ok. She needs her rest. When she's well enough, I'll try to rest."
"You need to be careful."
"I will."
"Go sit down."
"Fine."
Merlin sat down and sighed. Merlin was so tired that he fell asleep. Balinor smiled and went out to get Lucille.
"Lucille, hold Jonathan in Merlin's room. Both Sara and Merlin are exhausted and Jonathan needs to be watched carefully." Balinor explained as he gave Jonathan to Lucille.
"Ok." Lucille answered. Lucille went to Merlin's room and held Jonathan. Then Luke came out.
"Luke, finish what Lucille was doing and cut those vegetables." Balinor ordered.
"Why?" Luke asked.
"Because Lucille is busy. Merlin and Sara are resting. Someone has to watch Jonathan closely. I told Lucille to hold him."
"Why can't Merlin do it?"
"He needs his rest."
"He's so lazy."
"He does more than you. You just whine about everyone."
"Where are you going? Why can't you do it?"
"I'm going to make sure that your mother and sister are ok."
Then Balinor went to his room where Hunith was holding Isabelle.
"How's our little girl?" Balinor asked.
"She's fine." Hunith whispered.
"When Merlin wakes, he needs to see his little sister."
"Who's watching Jonathan?"
"Lucille."
"Good. Both of them need to rest."
"Yeah."
Sara woke up a few hours later. She saw Lucille holding Jonathan.
"Where's Merlin?" Sara wondered.
"He's in the chair sleeping." Lucille answered.
"I need to feed Jonathan."
"Ok."
So Lucille gave Jonathan to Sara. Lucille left the room. Sara looked over to Merlin.
"Merlin, wake up." Sara said. Merlin didn't wake up. Sara took her cup of water and weakly splashed the water on him. Merlin woke up and groaned.
"What?" Merlin moaned.
"I'm sorry but I need to talk to you."
