Past Judgement Outtakes

by TheImpossiblePen

Because I can't fit it ALL into one story Past Judgement without it being a big, run-on mess, here's a fairly random set of one-shots and short arcs to tickle the funny bone, maybe touch a sad or nostalgic note every now and again, and of course dabble in a whole lot of what-ifs!

23. Chapter 23

I couldn't resist another jab at our Prince. Enjoy! OH-ANd many thanks to my newest audience members. Cheers and Ciao!

Chapter 23

"Merlin, I need your help!"

"It's about time you acknowledged that..."

Arthur gave Merlin an exasperated look. "Ha ha...No, seriously." He stared at the open sleeper he had managed to wrestle his two-month-old daughter into, her waving arms and legs presenting an interesting obstacle. "Tell me you can see exactly how one of these things does up. There are snaps all over the place," he muttered, keeping one hand on his newborn daughter.

Seconds later Merlin had the entire outfit done up, and he calmly handed the dressed child to her father. "See, now, was that so hard?" he teased. "Really, Sire, you should have learned to dress yourself before attempting to dress another human being."

"Merlin?"

"Yes, Arthur?"

"Shut up."

"Fine," Merlin agreed, nodding. "Don't come whining to me when you cannot figure out her diapers." He walked away, carrying on with cleaning his master's chambers. There were just some things that people needed to learn all on their own.
