"How is he?" Merlin asked when Gaius came in for his morning check up.

"Wants to see you very badly, he told your mother he loved you back in Camelot and if he could turn back time he'd never let you leave" the old man revealed as Merlin lifted his shirt so he could get to the bump. He used the tool to check the babies heartbeat and asked Merlin questions about how he felt.

"Generally I feel ok but I can't eat and the bleeding worried me"

"Yes, well I'm sure you'll be fine. The heartbeats are strong enough for us not to worry"

"Good" Merlin nodded rubbing his belly and sighing.

"What exactly do you intend to do if the king does walk in here?" the physican wondered not really wanting to worry the boy but he needed to be prepared, the king was very adamant on seeing him.

"I have no idea. Tell him the truth..maybe..I don't know. What can I say?" he asked inside praying to god his ex-lover didn't walk in.

"Are you mad? Telling him the truth?"

"What else can I do if he walks in? This is going to be very hard to lie about"

"I know. There is something you have to know"

"What?" Merlin inquired in a tone that clearly said I-don't-want-to-know

"Gwen can't have children, which means-"

"This baby is the only heir to the throne" Merlin finished in a state of shock before he shook himself out of it and continued. "So your saying Arthur needs to know anyway?"

"It's your decision and always has been"

"Not if he sees for himself" he scoffed.

"I'll do my best" Gaius smiled as he kissed Merlin on the forehead before heading to the door. Once the door had shut behind him friend Merlin closed his eyes and tried to see if he could hear Arthurs voice...

"How is he today?" Arthur inquired when he saw Gaius.

"Better but very tired he said he didn't get much sleep last night"

"Can I see him?" the kings asked. Merlins mother and the pysician locked eyes with each other trying to read each other and think of a lie.

"I think he-"

"What aren't you telling me?" Arthur interrogated standing from the table and eyed them suspitiously.

"Nothing sire" he protested trying to keep his facial expression neutral so as not to give reason for the king to doubt him.

"Then why can't I really see Merlin?"

"You can I just don't see the point of sitting there while he's asleep, you can when he wakes up" he gulped hoping the king bought the story he was spinning. He felt bad as he knew how Arthur cared for Merlin and would never do anything against him but at the same time he understood Merlins reluctance to let Arthur in just in case.

"Alright" the blonde sighed showing a sign of giving in but you could still tell he wasn't happy about it. He walked out the door, climbed on a horse and rode off down the path to the forest.

"What did Merlin say?" Hunith asked as she watched the king ride out the village.

"He didn't say much but I told him about Gwen and I think he now feels like its all too much for him" he informed her with a regretful look.

"It must be poor boy, he's still so young yet he has so much weighing on his shoulders. Arthur finding out could be good or bad but I really don't want to gamble"

"I agree, I don't envy your son at all"

"What shouldn't I find out?" they others turned their gaze to Arthur stood at the door.

"I could tell you were lying to me Gaius but I'm confused as to why? I thought you were a good friend and told me everything" he declared with a betrayed look across his face.

"Sire..I..-" Gaius stuttered unable to think of anything to say.

"I'm not taking any word either of you two say, I'm going to see Merlin and get the truth for myself" he stated heading towards the room only to have his path blocked by Hunith.

"Please sire, he's sleeping and he's unwell at least wait" she pleaded. Merlin who'd heard the raised voices had woken and was about to got to the door and listen more clearly but when he attempted to get out of bed he knocked the book which fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Sounds like he's awake to me" Arthur insisted opening the door and before Merlin had time to react or think the king was staring directly at him. Or to be more accurate the protruding bump that was to obvious to try and cover up now. It was over.

"Arthur" he gasped placing one hand on his babies in a protective manner.

"Oh my god" the blonde stated not even blinking or trying to take his eyes off it...

A/N: So what did you think? The moment you've all waited for Arthur knows...what will he do? xoxoxo
