"So how was your week off?" Gwen smirked as she tied up her shoelaces. There was a new policy which meant that their uniform had to be kept at work and they had it washed between each shift in order to stop the possible risk of infection to the babies.

"Aw it was lovely" Morgana smiled and threw her head back rather than going back to tying her hair up. "Arthur and I headed over to Salisbury, which is where he used to live. We went to his old house, looked at the sites".

"How'd it go?" Gwen asked worriedly.

"It was great, we had some quality time together. He has no recollection of before the accident, but that doesn't matter I guess".

"Your boyfriend had an accident?" Gwen frowned.

"Yeah. Around two years ago. Drowned in the lake of Avalon, woke up with amnesia".

"Oh" Gwen mused. "I'd better head out, shift changed".

"I'll catch up with you" Morgana smiled as she tied her hair into a high ponytail. She did the ward rounds as usual, although Gwen did seem to avoid her which was rather unusual for her friend.

"Where was it you went again?" Gwen asked at the end of the shift. Morgana had micro-preemie triplets to look after that were rushed in during the middle of the day just after the other babies she'd been looking after had either been discharged or sent to their local neonatal unit. All three of them had come in an air ambulance and had been delivered at twenty-eight weeks and were in critical condition.

"Salisbury" Morgana replied. "Lovely place. Went to the Stonehenge, Old Sarum and up Glastonbury tor".

"Sounds like you had a good time then" Gwen remarked.

"You know, it's kinda funny" Morgana drawled as she put her shoes on. "I'm pretty sure he said his ex wife was called Gwen".

Gwen looked at Morgana and awkwardly laughed. "Are you trying to say something?".

"No" Morgana insisted. "I just thought it rather strange and coincidental, that's all".

"Meh" Gwen shrugged. "Never been to Salisbury in my life. Besides, you know that I've lived in London for the past four years".

"I guess" Morgana sighed. "It's just, I want him to be able to remember who he was before the accident. I mean obviously it's more painful for those who have a family member who can't remember anything, but".

"Yes of course" Gwen nodded. "It still hurts".

"Exactly" Morgana agreed. "Well, I guess I'll see you Wednesday?".

"You sure will" Gwen smiled. "Take care". Morgana decided to walk home as opposed to taking the tube, wanting to clear her head. It had been an extremely hard shift with the triplets and walking helped morgana clear her head as she looked around at the sights of London and listened to her music. She texted Arthur to tell him that she was going straight home given that she was exhausted, Arthur told her to take care and that they could catch up in the morning. Morgana took the lift up to her flat, unlocked it and sunk onto the sofa with a sigh. It was a long shift. She only hoped that those three babies could make it through the night.


Arthur sighed as he walked out of St Thomas' and towards the tube. No change. There hadn't been any change. He couldn't help feeling frustrated with himself. It had been less than six months, like Dr DuLac said it'd take months if not years for his memory to return, if it ever did. While Arthur did want to know what his life used to be like, he rather liked things the way they were as of late. He made sure to stop at Sainsbury's, as usual his appointment was in the evening and it was rather late by the time he ended up back in Nelson Square. Morgana had already texted him and said that she had been having a rather bad day due to things happening at work, though he knew he wanted to check on her. He went home and wrote a note "I know things are hard, and I hope things improve sometime soon. You've got this 3", putting the note inside the flowers and going to Morgana's flat. He knocked on the door and Morgana answered, eyes red rimmed with a pair of pyjamas on, hair down her back in cascading waves.

"Hey" she smiled.

"Hey" Arthur replied. "How are you?".

"Not feeling too good. Obviously I have a hard line of work, and uh for a while things have been great. Then today well, I'd discharged all of my little ones and then we had triplets come in critical condition".

"Oh Morgana" Arthur sighed sympathetically. "I'm so sorry. That sounds really tough".

"Yeah, it has been" Morgana sighed. "Obviously I can't say anything else about it, confidentiality and all. But yeah".

"You don't have to explain anything, Morgana" Arthur said. "I'm here, okay?".

"I know" Morgana smiled as she looked at her flowers. "I know. I was planning on getting an early night".

"Of course" Arthur nodded. "I'll let you get to it. Good night".

"Good night" Morgana smiled as Arthur kissed her forehead and went across the corridor to his own apartment. Morgana wasn't a fan of her therapy that much, though she did know that it did help her a lot. Morgause was currently off sick for a few days, and Morgana would be back at work before Morgause was due to return so couldn't even fit in a time slot on a different day to usual. Therefore as Arthur arrived for his session with Merlin, he was rather surprised to see that Morgana wasn't there either or hadn't replied to any of his texts. He hoped that the triplets were okay. Merlin looked rather somber when he came to collect Arthur.

"You alright?" Arthur asked.

"Yeah" Merlin shrugged. "This isn't about me anyway, how was the trip?".

"I still don't remember anything" Arthur grumbled with a sigh as he sat on the couch. "In all honesty, I don't give a shit about what I was like before the accident, my life before etcetera. I mean, I'm happy now. Life is great. What's not to love...but as you know, it's still hard".

"Well of course it will be Arthur" Merlin sympathised. "You went through trauma and had memory loss, and while it does tend to be more traumatic for those around the person rather than the individual, it still hurts".

"Of course" Arthur nodded. "Not that I had anyone around anyway" he added under his breath. "Well, things this week have been hard with my girlfriend as things are hard at work and I don't know how to support her".

"What lineage of work does she work in?" Merlin asked.

"Neonatology. Works with newborn babies and all".

Merlin paled. "Okay ... okay".

"There really is something up isn't there" Arthur drawled as he scrutinised him. "Well, not to be self absorbed but this is about me".

"I know" Merlin chuckled as he wiped at a stray tear. "I know, I'm sorry. Okay, let's get on with our session".


A/N: *whoops* three days late but here it is! Or is it four? Lost count, lockdown really sucks
