Chapter 7
(Six days later early morning.)
Merlin's heat broke in the early morning hours on the sixth day of his heat. Arthur was the first to wake, when he did he noticed that he could think straight, and he was in his rational mind. "Merlin's heat must have broke when we were asleep." Arthur thought to himself while burying his nose in Merlin's hair taking in his scent, but there was something different about Merlin's scent that quipped Arthur's interest.
Arthur took another deep breath taking in Merlin's scent again and then he figured it out and when he did he let out a shocked barking laugh. Merlin stirred in his arms waking up slightly "Arthur is everything alright?" He asked groggily Arthur smiled at how cute his mate was when half asleep "Yes everything is fine, better than fine everything is perfect now." Arthur replied now Merlin was wide awake "What's going on, did something happen?" Merlin asked a little panicked Arthur placed a kiss to Merlin's temple and then replied "Other than the fact that I got you pregnant during your first heat. no nothing happened." Arthur laughed happily again.
"Are you sure Arthur?" Merlin asked surprised Arthur looked Merlin in the eyes with a small smile upon his lips and nodded causing Merlin to cry out in joy and fling himself at Arthur holding him tightly. Arthur could not help but laugh again at Merlin's playfulness and his own happiness.
They both held each other for a while enjoying their happiness of the news of having children and that they were now fully bonded and nothing but death could tear them apart. For almost a hour they laid there until Merlin asked "Arthur there is two things I want to know, first your mother told me that there is a way we can figure out how many pups we are having and what gender and whether they will be alpha's or omega's I was wondering if you wanted to know, I know I do but I want to know if you do." Arthur thought hard for a moment then replied "I would like to know but it can wait for a little while until you want to do it then we will both be there when it is done." Merlin smiled nipping Arthur jaw affectionately. "My second thing I want to know is what symbol our mating marks are I want you to tell me Arthur." "Anything for you love." Arthur said nipping Merlin's ear lovingly.
Merlin barred his neck to Arthur so that Arthur could see the mating mark he had made on Merlin's neck so he could tell him what symbol it had taken. "That is weird I've never seen nor heard of this symbol before?" Arthur said confusion coloring his words Merlin looked at Arthur asking a little scared "What is it?" "A unicorn, Merlin I need you do something for me tell me what my mating mark has taken the shape of." Arthur said Merlin nodded. As Arthur barred his neck to Merlin so Merlin could view Arthur's mark Merlin gasped in shock saying "Your is different than mine . You is a gold rearing dragon it looks almost the same as the Pendragon crest with a few differences." Arthur shook his head saying mostly to himself not understanding "I've never heard of either of these symbols and the weirdest part is I have never heard of a mated pair with two different marks before." Arthur looked at Merlin "We need to talk to my parents and Gaius they are the only ones who could know what this means and maybe help us understand it. We also need to give both of our families the good news about having grandchildren in a few months." Merlin nodded while jumping out of the bed and throwing on his clothes while Arthur did the same. Soon enough they were off to see their families to tell them the good news and get some answers on why mating marks were different.
