Merlin awoke that morning and said his goodbyes to Gaius. He was out the gates of Camelot before anyone had stirred, he took the bags Gaius had packed for him and a book on the first case of this ever happening. A small part of Merlin was worried of what his mother would say or think and how was his suppose to break it to her? The fear he had that is mother might be disappointed of not only his new found sexuality but he had had an affair with his friend's husband. He was looking forward to seeing his mother again but Merlin wished it was under better circumstances. Setting off from Camelot so early ment he could get to Ealdor by dinner time, he could tell her everything, eat and sleep. A part of him thought Arthur may miss him but he told himself not to be so stupid, he had Gwen. Merlin had spent last night and this morning trying to convince himself that Arthur's love admission was a way to get Merlin to have sex with him again.

"Take a break" he sighed slumping against a tree and wrapping one arm around his stomache giving it a loving rub.

"Did you know you are the strangest thing I've ever encountered? But a miracle. You'd literally be Uther- your grandfathers- worst nightmare, your a magical being and the heir. But you have me, Gaius and my mum. Maybe some other people, like...Gwen or Arthur. One day. Maybe. I doubt it but your here so anything is possible" he smiled lovingly getting to his feet and collecting his belongings. He continues his journey with no other stops other than to have a drink. Merlin keeps playing little senarios in his head about how things could work out for everyone like Arthur stayed with Gwen but awknowledged the childs existance and gave it the throne. Or Arthur left Gwen and Merlin and the baby lived happily ever after but along with these happy senarios came the bad; like Arthur had Merlin and the baby killed for the magic or he killed the baby but had Merlin locked away forever as an example like Uther did with the dragon. As these thoughts got to graphic the warlock shrugged them off and just continued to walk with a tune in his head to keep his thoughts neutral, soon he would be back with his mother. Just a few more miles...

"Gaius?" Arthur asked knocking and entering the physicians quaters.

"Hello sire" he smiled removing his glasses and settling them on his work bench.

"Have you see Merlin?" Arthur inquired glancing round for a sigh of his lovers presance.

"I'm sorry sire but he left this morning"

"Left? Where?"

"He's gone home" the old man informed the baffled king.

"This is his home"

"Back to Ealdor, my lord. To his mother. He has been feeling under the weather and wished to go back to her"

"It's nothing serious, I hope" the king asked attempting -but failing- to hide his worry for the young boy he'd grown to love.

"I don't believe so, he should be fine" Gaius assured with a smile that had an under lying hint of happiness at the kings concern for the boy. The kind of affection Arthur was displaying now the physician hoped he would if he ever found out about his and Merlins child.

"Will he return?"

"I hope so my lord"

"As do I"

"I know your going to miss him" Gaius smiled giving Arthur a knowing but safe smile, it let Arthur know he knew but also told him that he was understanding and here for him.

"Merlin told you" he concluded out loud

"Yes, everything" he admitted making the king shift uncomfortably

"Oh..."

"No need to panic sire. Your secret is safe with me and just so you know, my door is always open" Gaius smiled as he noticed the kings worry.

"Thank you Gaius but I hope you understand I love Merlin very much"

"I do and so does he" the physician nodded

"Thank you" the king said turning and heading out the door. Once he had reached the safety of his room he let the tears fall. He thought he and Merlin were going to be ok at least that's the last thing they agreed on was. "Why would you do this Merlin?"..
