A/N: chapter two of whatever this is… if it doesn't make sense, sorry, oh as you can tell I aint no medical doctor so in here and future chapters don't expect Shakespeare with the medical jargin.

Around lunch time in the hospital Arthur found himself looking for the new nurse. After he met her in his father's office he couldn't get her off of his mind. He went to the front desk where his favorite two nurses Loretta and Skye sat. Loretta was a bountiful black woman with an attitude towards everyone except Arthur. And Skye was a fair skinned red headed woman who had a huge crush on him. Arthur found her crush endearing but he would never sleep with Skye. Not because she wasn't beautiful, it was more like Arthur didn't want to ruin her obvious innocence. All of his relationships ended badly. He was never fully committed to any of those women and once they figured it out they all left him. Arthur got so used to it that he no longer cared if he had a woman in his life or not. So he left Skye alone but it no longer mattered anyway cause Skye got married to a pediatrician.

Arthur walked up to the desk to say hello to the women. "Hello ladies" he said

"Hello doctor sexy." Loretta gave him her usual quip about him being the finest doctor at the hospital. Arthur smiled.

"Now Loretta, I thought I told you to call me Arthur." he flashed her a smile and looked over to Skye. She was beaming at him, eyes wide with the same grin she always wore when he was around.

"I need to ask you lovely ladies something... Can you help me?"

"Yes. I will be your love slave." Loretta said with no regrets. Skye shook her head at her and said "anything."

"There's a new nurse in the hospital, but I can't seem to find her anywhere. I was hoping that I ask you two since y'all know everything about well... Everyone." the nurses smiled and nodded, Arthur was right. If anybody needed to know anything about anyone you came to them.

"Who you looking for sugar plum?" said Loretta

"Her name is Gwen or Guinevere. I never caught a last name."

Skye looked at Loretta and Loretta looked back at her with the same expression. "You mean mother Teresa?" Skye spat. Arthur looked up at her and noticed her tone, did she not like her?

"Why do you call her that?"

"Because she's only been here for three hours and yet everyone loves her." Skye said back.

"What do you want her for anyway?" Loretta said. They both crossed their arms and waiting for him to answer.

"Some of her paper work got messed up. My father wanted me to tell her. So do either of you know where she is?" Arthur lied.

"She got called down to pediatrics. They were short and she volunteered. She's been down there ever since."

"Thank you ladies!" Arthur practically bolted to the elevator. Once he got to the seventh floor he looked in every room. He finally found her in a room with two cancer patients, Arthur looked at the chart in front of the door and decided to play it like this: pretend he got called down to pediatrics and then flirt with her and maybe ask her out on a date. "Perfect plan." Arthur thought. He grabbed the chart and headed into the room.

Gwen looked up at him as he walked in. He had a goofy smile on his face as he greeted the two kids.

"Dr. Pendragon what are you doing here?" she asked him

"I got called down to pediatrics. I'm just checking on everyone." he smiled at her and then sat down in between the beds both kids were laying in.

"How are you two today?" he asked them.

"Maddie's been throwing up non stop and little Jeffery here just got his fever down." Gwen pulled a chair up near Maddie.

"My head hurts." Jeffery whined. Arthur got up and felt his head.

"I'm guessing that it's the fever reducer working. His stats seem normal." Gwen came over to adjust his medicine drip.

Arthur just watched her for a minute, admiring her form. "She was a true pro." he admitted to no one. Gwen tucked Jeffery in tighter and slowly Jeffery closed his eyes feeling the affects of good medicine in his system.

Maddie however sat up and pulled at Gwen's smock. "Gwen I'm hungry." she said.

"Don't worry sweetie, your food will be here very soon."

Gwen sat back down next to Maddie, and Arthur sat down next to Jeffery. Before they both realized it they were looking at each other. Their gaze locked, she looked into his blue eyes and he looked into her brown ones. They didn't even notice another doctor walk in.

"Arthur." Dr. Moore says.

Gwen was the first to notice Dr. Moore. She released Arthur's gaze and stood up to greet her. Arthur turns around and snidely smiles when seeing her.

"Lillian..." he says coyly.

"What are you doing here?" she asked defiantly. She knew he was up to something.

"I was just checking up on the patients in pediatrics."

"I would believe you, only you haven't been down here in a two months... So what changed?"

Gwen looked at him confused and Arthur looked at his watch, avoiding her eyes. " What do you know? It's time for lunch. I would say goodbye to you Lillian but you'll probably report me again."

Dr. Lillian Moore shook her head at him. "I only reported you because... You know what? I'm not getting into this with you!" she huffed.

"Lillian... Let's not do the back and forth thing with children around." both Maddie and Gwen looked up at him. What the hell did he mean by that? Lillian blushed a little and then turned away from his eyes to maintain composure. "Weren't you going to lunch about now Arthur?"

Arthur nodded and headed towards the door. Dr. Moore looked over to Gwen and said "You too sweetheart, it's your lunch time."

"Oh I can stay if you need me." Gwen said to her.

"Don't be silly. I can handle this until you come back."

Arthur held out the door for Gwen. They walked out together and waited for the elevator. Once in, Arthur started talking. "Don't mind that little comment Lillian made about reporting me. She's a grade A bitch."

"She's actually really nice to me. Everyone is... So far." Gwen smiled to herself.

"Not if she knew Loretta and Skye." Arthur thought to himself. He looked at her while she watched the buttons glow from each floor, he figured now would be a good chance to ask her out.

Just do it chicken...

"So... I have this tradition where I take new nurses to lunch would you like to go with me?" Arthur bit his tongue because that was without a doubt the dumbest thing he has ever uttered. Gwen looked at him and started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"That line... Was so unoriginal...Cute, but unoriginal."

"It wasn't a line!" she was still laughing.

" Ok maybe it was." Arthur admitted.

"It was." she said blatantly.

"Can you blame me? I just want to take you to lunch... So how bout it?" the elevator stopped on the ground floor and Gwen walked out of it.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think that would be a good idea." she walked off and crossed the street.

Gwen was sitting in Morgana's room stitching up a new dress for her. One of the needles got caught in her finger and Gwen pulled it out accordingly. She silently admitted that she sometimes hated being a seamstress. If she had gold for every damn needle she had to pull out of her finger she would be the one living in this castle. She put the finishing touches on the dress and then held it up. "Perfect." she said.

Morgana came in and saw Gwen holding up a new dress in her arms. She went over to her with a delighted smile on her face.

"Gwen... It's perfect." Gwen nodded in agreement as morgana ran the silk through her fingers.

"What are you waiting for? Try it on!" Gwen told her. Morgana smiled and went behind the screen. She slipped the dress on and then came towards her full-length mirror. It looked great on her, covering her like only silk could, showing off her slim figure nicely. Gwen watched, as Morgana looked herself over. Gwen wouldn't admit it but she was definitely feeling envious. Morgana wore that dress better than some queens could.

"I think I'll wear it tonight. At the feast." morgana said.

"That's wonderful my lady."

"Gwen you've been working here awhile now... I told you to call me morgana. Just morgana. Alright?"

"Alright... My lad- Morgana." Gwen smiled.

"You will be there tonight, just in case I need you." morgana turned to her to see her reaction.

"I was actually going to help my father tonight. If that's alright with you."

"Gwen... I said I needed you." morgana had a demanding stern look on her face. Basically telling Gwen she had no choice. "Of course, I will be there." Gwen gave her a fake closed mouthed smile.

In her mind she was saying "you horrible, rude wench!"

The feast brought out the best in people. They laughed and rejoiced while they filled their mouths with meat and wine. Gwen sighed; she was completely tired and overwhelmed by it all. She was by morgana's side all night, giving her everything she could possibly want while being groped consequently by every dirty man in the room. She finally got a moment's piece while morgana danced with a knight. She slumped against the wall and looked around. The common folk have started to dance in groups, which excited Uther greatly. Arthur sat next to him; smiling when his father smiled but she could tell he wasn't really paying attention. In fact she could've sworn that once or twice he was looking at her. "That's obviously in my mind" Gwen said to herself. While she pondered his beautiful looks a very drunk man sauntered over to her, with a huge tankard of beer in his hand.

"You're pretty..." he said to her.

"You're not" she said in her head. Out loud she said: "thank you." and politely smiled.

"How's about you come to my hut and let me have my way with you."

He slurred his words and moved towards her.

"No thank you sir." she said to him. "Come on..." let me have you... If only for tonight." he put his beer down on the table and then wrapped himself around her. Gwen tried to push him away but the man was potent on keeping his hold on her.

Arthur did it; he looked over to Gwen yet another time. He really hoped she didn't notice. But goddamn her striking beauty! it was hard not to look at her. Arthur didn't know why but Gwen was something he admired. He wanted to know more about her... Were there brains behind the beauty? Was she funny? Did she like men who were in higher positions than her? Would she marry him? Arthur shook that last thought out of his mind then looked over to her again. A man was fondling her and he could tell she didn't like it. His father didn't notice him leave his seat and walk over to her.

"Come on... I do not care if you are a maid, I'll be gentle at first… I promise.." the mans hands made it to her butt. Gwen pushed him hard but then he came back towards her. Before he could get his arms around her again Arthur took him by the shirt- stopping him.

"I think the lady wants you to leave her alone." Arthur said.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" the man said trying to get out of his hold.

"I am your prince. Now go... Before I have you in the stocks."

"Ok! Ok!" Arthur let go of him and he scurried off.

"Thank you sire." Gwen bowed in front of him. He lifted her up by her chin so that their eyes met. "I have another way you could thank Me." he smiled at her face as her eyes widened with curiosity.

"How?" she asked. Her inner thoughts were saying "please don't let it be something dirty." after all, she knew how the prince got down... Well she had heard many things, whether she chose to believe them or not depended on Arthur's next words.

"Dance with me" he softly whispered to her.

"Arthur I can't... Your father, he would kill me." Arthur nodded and then grabbed her hand. "Come with me." they made their way out the back and Arthur pulled her close to him.

"Dance with me now?" he asked.

She pulled back and asked, "what if someone sees us?"

"Just trust me." she grabbed his hand and interlocked it with his. They began to sway back and forth and then he gave her a sweet twirl, which made her giggle in delight. He pulled her in again and then their eyes locked. He pushed the curl out of her hair and thought to himself " I wish you were mine."

"You are so beautiful." Arthur said as they danced under the stars.

Gwen blushed and said "thank you sire."

"There's no need to call me that when we are alone."

"There is every need. You are my prince and I respect you, always."

"Guinevere! Can't you see that..." Arthur began. The sounds people exiting the back door halted his words.

They had stopped dancing and Gwen pulled away once more.

" I must go." Gwen picked up her dress and headed inside. Arthur held his head, and kicked the ground. He felt liking killing who ever interrupted their moment.

He laid down at night once it was all over, with his eyes closed he muttered one last thing before he went to bed "Guinevere..."
