Part 3
It came time for Arthur and Guinevere to be married, and Lancelot and Morgaine came right on time. Everyone was introduced properly and the wedding ceremony began. It was basically 3 days of feasting.
Arthur complained to Morgaine about how he lost in the ceremony to be the hunter, and she only replied how it was probably for the best. He nodded sadly and they met up with Guinevere and Lancelot who were talking as new in - laws.
Seeing Lancelot with another woman made Morgaine nervous for a few moments, but when she came and put her arm around him, she was reassured by the kindness in his eyes. She also saw how her brother was with Guinevere, very loving and sweet, different than with any other woman.
As they ate, the men talked of war and battle, and all the women talked of their children and shopping in the villages. It was typical.
The night wore on and Morgaine's aunt put a spell on Guinevere so that she would never be able to bear children. She did not know that Morgaine was with child, and Morgaine would never tell her. Morgaine and Lancelot were both of a royal blood - line, and their child would succeed Arthur's throne, no matter what.
That night, Arthur and Morgaine spoke in their room. "I saw the red haired woman today, she is scary in a wicked way."
"Most likely my aunt. We just have to stay away from her, and if she comes near us, we should just be nice, but not mention the fact that I am with child. All she wants is for her son to be put on the throne after Arthur, I can see it. She wants to make England hers, and take away all that we have ever beleived in." Lancelot had his head in her lap and looked up at her solemnly.
"Yes, I agree. We must be very careful. Mother tells me she sees a huge war coming to all of us in the near future. With her, the near future could be up to 20 years, but it still means many will die in it." He explained.
"Has Merlin told you anything?"
"No, he is too busy training the men of Avalon. For what? I have no idea. I can only hope that when this battle comes, Avalon will aid us."
Morgaine nodded and ran her hand through his hair. She was spacing out. "Do you think our child will be a boy or a girl?" She asked Lancelot.
"Boy. And the next one will be a girl." He replied. "That way, we have an heir to this throne. Something tells me we are going to need two."
She laughed. "Yea, your needs tell you we need two."
He smiled. "No no...I insist, two will be better than one!" They were playing, and having fun at it.
"Okay, two it is." Morgaine said.
"How about 4?" Lancelot played.
"Three!" Morgaine played back.
"Three and a half..."
"That's not funny!" Morgaine replied.
They laughed and continued joking until they got tired. Their relationship was one to be envied. It was serious yet fun and it held the future of Avalon as well as Camelot in it. Their children would be the next in line to the thrones of both.
