A/N: Hey everybody! Here is the next chapter of my story. I'm really sorry that I kept you waiting for a very long time but it's because I'm working on another story, it's entitled "I'm in Love with My Best Friend" and it's a Modern AU fic although, I'm not sure about when I'm going to release it. Maybe I'll do a lot of chapters first before the release so you guys have a first run about the story. Anyhow, I give you this chapter. Enjoy and review.

In the royal chambers, the queen stood in front of the king as she removes the chain mail piece by piece.

"So, would you care to tell me what really happened Arthur? We haven't really talked about that because I told you about the child." Guinevere said as she now puts a clean shirt on Arthur.

"Guinevere, now's not the time. You need to rest." Arthur said pulling Guinevere's hand towards the bed.

Guinevere pulls her hand away "No, I don't need to rest. Arthur, you have to tell me what's happened." Guinevere said and she walks to Arthur and holds his hands. "Please Arthur, whatever it is, you can tell me." Guinevere pleads as she puts her hand on Arthur's cheek.

Arthur looked at her and took her hand to kiss it as he held it. "That day when I was dying, Merlin took me to the Lake of Avalon. He summoned the Great Dragon and then the dragon healed me." Arthur said as he waits for Guinevere's respond.

"I should've known. But how could that be? Only a dragonlord can summon such a creature. Merlin was your only companion, who could-" Guinevere stopped as she came to a realization. "Merlin is the dragonlord?" Guinevere asked Arthur.

Arthur nods and says "Yes Guinevere, Merlin helped me to live. All this time he was helping me." He looks intently at Guinevere.

"All that Gaius said was true." Guinevere said as she processes everything that Arthur has told her.

"What did Gaius say?" Arthur asked intently looking into her eyes.

"When the knights said that you cannot be found and Gaius said that you were safe with Merlin, I talked to him and he told me everything about Merlin. That Merlin was sorcerer. I didn't know what to say to you if you came back but, it seems you already know." Guinevere said sadly.

"I'm sorry Guinevere. I was really going to tell you but as soon as you told me about our child, I was afraid that it would be too much for you to handle. I just want you to be safe." Arthur said to Guinevere, who was just staring at him.

"Arthur, you don't need to apologize. I was worried about you, worried about what you would think. And you don't need to look after me all the time, I can take care of myself." Guinevere convinces Arthur.

"I know that very well." Arthur said as he soothes his wife's shoulders. "But please promise me that you will keep yourself safe even if I'm not with you." Arthur asks her.

Guinevere sighs and then nods "I promise." She said and puts her hands on Arthur's chest "But you have to promise me that you will no longer keep any secrets from me no matter what state I am in." Guinevere demands softly.

"Yes, I promise." Arthur says as he draws his wife closer to him. "Now, can we at least think of getting some rest?" He says pulling his wife towards the bed.

Guinevere smiles as she lets her husband pull her to the bed. They lie down on the bed and Arthur kisses Guinevere.

As they pull away, they said something to each other.

"Goodnight Guinevere."

"Goodnight Arthur."

They sleep peacefully because they know that this is where they belong: in each other's arms.
