DISCLAIMER: If I owned Merlin then it'd probably go a lot more like Camelot... think about that. But I don't own merlin. BBC does.
Gwen is 3 months pregnant
"Hurry up Arthur! We're gonna be late!" Gwen complained from the front door.
"Coming, love. You know the NHS. They say half nine but they really mean ten o'clock." Arthur insisted while running down the stairs. Liam followed suit, clutching his nursery backpack.
"Mummy, if the baby is a boy can we name it Barney?" Liam asked.
"Like the dinosaur?" Gwen replied, chucking slightly.
"Yeah."
"We'll see, now, chop chop! Where are your shoes?" Gwen smiled and started to look for his shoes by the door. Arthur brushed past her and handed Liam the shoes. "Oh there they are."
"Just need to grab something form the kitchen." Arthur announced and ran to the kitchen.
"Oh for goodness sake Arthur!" Gwen complained.
"Honey, I already told you. They are awful with keeping appointment times." He sighed as he walked back to the front door.
"Perhaps but you know I do not like being late." Gwen exclaimed while ushering Liam out of the door and throwing the keys at Arthur. "Lock up."
"Sure thing."
...
"And that is your baby's heartbeat." Dr. Gaius smiled at Gwen and Arthur.
Arthur and Gwen shared a smile. Gwen rested her head on Arthur's shoulder before asking, "And everything looks fine?"
"Everything looks fine." Dr. Gaius agreed and patted her shoulder. "I'll step outside and let you have a moment."
"Thank you, Dr. Gaius." Arthur smiled and kissed Gwen's forehead.
When the door closed, Gwen turned to Arthur and sighed happily. "They he or she is. Our baby."
"I'll never tire of this you know. Hearing the hearteat, seeing the baby." Arthur laughed. "I could do it a million times."
"Jeez can I get through this pregnancy first?" Gwen chuckled.
"Okay." Arthur mocked dissapointemnt.
"I'm so happy right now." Gwen grinned. "I could just freeze this moment."
"I'm sure you'll only feel happier in 6 months." Arthur smiled.
"You're right."
...
"So Gwen is...3 months now?" Merlin asked while pushing Molly on the baby swing.
"Yep. 3 months." Arthur agreed and pushed Liam higher.
"WOOO. I think I can see our house dad!" Liam yelled up in the air.
"Really? Can you see if mum has put dinner on yet?" Arthur asked, laughing.
"No I can't." Liam replied.
"Aw shucks." Arthur frowned jokingly.
"So. 3 months. Is she all..."
"Horny? Not yet. Mostly just vomiting and craving thus far. But I think the emotions are kicking in. She cried at that John Lewis advert last night." Arthur laughed.
"The one with the girl in the past and the guy in the future?" Merlin aksed, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep."
"Ha why?"
"I don't know actually. She said something about the couple being 'so fucking cute'." Arthur explained and pushed Liam again.
"Haha! Morgana likes that one too. She doesn't cry though."
Arthur nodded thoughtfully and looked at Liam laughing happily on the swing.
"Buddy, we'll drop by Granpa's on the way home and say hi. What do you think?" Arthur asked Liam.
"Woooo." Liam called back and Arthur took that as a yes.
"Well it won't be long until she's jumping your bones." Merlin chuckled as Liam jumped off the swing and ran towards the park gate.
"Fantastic."
...
"OH MY GOD!"
Gwen bolted for the toilet door and Arthur heard wretching from his seat on the couch in the living room. He decided to go to his wife's aid.
"Oh no you don't! NO ONE gets to see me like this." She scolded and slammed the door shut until she was done.
"Oh gwen I just want to make sure you're..."
"Nope."
"But..."
"NOPE."
"You're far too stubborn you know that?"
"Oh shut..." Gwen was cut off by another wretch. A few minutes passed and the door finally swung open to reveal Gwen sitting bedraggled on the floor.
"Mummy I made you...Mummy what's wrong?" Liam halted at the sight of his mother curled up around the toilet. Arthur picked up Liam.
"Mummy's feeling a bit ill. How about you go and get your football stickers and I'll help you stick them in?" Arthur asked him. Liam nodded excitedly and Arthur placed him back down on the floor. He ran upstairs to his room quickly.
"You know what Arthur?" Gwen announced from the floor and Arthur spun around to listen to her.
"I hate your penis." She finished and swung the door shut again. Arthur chuckled to himself and walked back to the living room.
...
"Alright see you tomorrow Leon." Arthur waved goodbye to his sous-chef and started to clean up in the kitchen.
"Hey!" Gwen smiled from the doors leading the kitchen to the main restauraunt floor.
"Hey, love. How was your dinner?"
"Delicious. But I'm so much more interested in the chef. I heard he's super hot." Gwen's voice dropped to a seductive tone and she started to advance towards him.
"Guinevere. I do believe you are feeling rather...frisky." Arthur falters as she kisses his neck softly.
"Maybe." Gwen smiled and continued to feather small kisses down his neck. "Maybe not."
Arthur groaned throatily. "We are in the middle of my kitchen Guinevere. There are no words to describe how much of a health and safety issue that would be."
"Oh you're no fun."
"Well wait till we get home. It's Wednesday and dad's got Liam."
"Perfect." The promise in her voice was enough to make Arthur cave right their and then.
...
"Hey Dad. Thanks again." Arthur smiled as Liam ran at him and hugged him.
"You know I love having him Arthur. Anytime. How's Gwen?" Uther laughed recalling the previous night when Gwen yelled at Arthur on the phone. "She seemed very angry at you."
"Oh you know. Hormones." The blush that covered Arthur's face was unmissable as he stuttered, "We made up."
Uther guffawed loudly.
"She's three months along right?"
"Yeah."
"By far the best month."
"Aw dad! Too much information."
...
"Oh god! What are you doing here?" Arthur asked sarcastically as he walked into the kitchen.
"Picking up the dress I so very genoursly loaned your wife, bro." Morgana replied, laughing.
"Yes Arthur. She's a star. Thanks, Morgs. Everyone loved the dress. Last time I'll be able to wear anything like that for another year at least. " Gwen frowned and walked over to stand beside Arthur.
"You mean that black dress you wore last night was Morgana's?" Arthur asked.
"Yes and what of it?" Morgana quesntioned with a smirk.
Both Arthur and Gwen's faces cracked into wide grins.
"Oh! Oh ...ew...you did not have sex while wearing my dress. Please Gwen. Please tell me you did not."
"Oh god no. I took it off first." Arthur replied, deadly serious.
"Arthur! We've terrorised her enough." Gwen swatted his arm, laughing.
"Ugh." Morgana moaned and leaned against the wall.
At this gesture Arthur and Gwen smirked in unison and Gwen giggled slightly. Morgana looked at them questioningly. Both sets of eyes landed on the wall and Morgana blanched.
"You had sex against this wall didn't you?"
Gwen burst out laughing and dropped her head to his chest and nodded barely.
"I'm leaving." Morgana cringed.
...
AN: Ta-da. Can't say I exactly love this chapter but it'll do. This is how it will go. Each chapter will focus on a month in her pregnancy so yes you should expect at LEAST 9 chapters but I hope to add a few more on the end... maybe even through a few in the middle with some of Arthur and Gwen's backstory like uni and Merlin/Morgana's backstory too :D
I fear that I wrote this in silence so I cannot supply you with music but I can suggest some music if you like? Obsessed with Ho Hey by The Lumineers right now after seeing them live last week! On top of that... hmm... Follow by the Crystal Fighters :D Please review! It's ever so appreciated.
