"Uncle Merlin's here!" Arthur jumped slightly, turning to see Merlin standing in the doorway. Arthur glared as Merlin stepped into the house to see the twins on Arthur's lap and Guinevere asleep on the bed. "Is she..." Merlin asked seeing the twins in tears and them clinging to their dad as he held them tightly.

"No Merlin, just having a hard time that's all," Arthur said heavily, looking down at the twins. "Anna, Amhar," Arthur said shaking them a little, "Uncle Merlin is here and daddy needs to speak with him for a minute and then I have something very important to tell you. So go and play while I speak to Uncle Merlin ok?"

"Ok daddy," they said sliding off his lap. Arthur smiled and kissed each of them on the top of the head before pushing them over to the blankets on the floor where they were sleeping earlier.

"What's the plan?" Merlin asked as Arthur lead the way outside, a couple feet from the house and out of earshot from the children.

"I'm taking the twins with me," Arthur said finally looking at Merlin.

"What? Your taking them to Camelot? Are you mad? Your father would have them killed or executed. Or burned to the stake because he thinks Guinevere is a witch and these are your forced bastard children. Don't do it Arthur so help me I will-"

"Merlin shut up, my children will hear you. Keep your voice down. I am taking them to Camelot wether you like it or not. Guinevere is on the brink off death and I can't leave them to watch her die. I can't Merlin, because if they lost her they would be without a mother and if I was gone they wouldn't have me either. I can't have them be parent-less. I won't do that to them. So they are coming with me," Arthur finished looking at Merlin in the eyes challenging him to say more.

"No you are somewhat right Arthur, you can't leave them without a father with Guinevere like this. But you have to be careful with Uther he has changed since you left and you just...Arthur just be careful when introducing Anna and Amhar to the King, he might not take it well because he still thinks your under an enchantment."

Arthur nodded, "Thank you Merlin I will be careful. And I really erm...appreciate that you came down here to watch Guinevere while go back to Camelot. now I must tell my kids where they are going for the next few days if all goes well." Merlin nodded and then followed Arthur back into the house. When they arrived, they saw the twins standing next to the bed arguing with their mother.

"But mummy," Amhar protested grabbing his mothers hand and holding it for dear life, "I don't want to go to Camelot, I want to stay here with you and daddy. I don't want to meet grandpa, I heard he is really mean."

"Oh come on Amhar it will be fun," Anna said laying a hand on her brothers shoulder. "You'll get to see the castle, where Uncle Merlin lives, daddy's knights, Auntie Morgana, grandpa and we can find all the hiding places in the castle. It will be so much fun."

Arthur smiled at her brave words but he knew that his daughter was just as scared about going to Camelot as Amhar was. "Your sister is right Amhar, Camelot is the best place on earth, it's where I grew up. And you won't be going alone, I'm coming with you," Arthur said kneeling down next to them.

"Yay!" Amhar said rushing into Arthur's arms and wrapping his arms around his fathers neck, "is mummy coming to?"

"No she has to stay and rest, but Uncle Merlin will take care of her until we return," Arthur said smiling at his son.

"ok, can we go now?" Anna asked excitedly, bouncing up and down.

Arthur chuckled, "of course my darling, the horse is all ready to go. Now go and put on your best clothes that Uncle Merlin brought you."

"Yay!" They then ran over excitedly, grabbing their clothes and going over to change. A couple minutes later Anna appeared wearing a red dress with a golden seam and on her feet was a pair of little brown boots. Amhar came standing next to his sister in a red tunic with black breeches and black boots. Arthur smiled proudly at them before going to change himself. He then came out in almost the ashamed thing Amhar was wearing except he wore brown breeches and a brown vest over his red tunic and he also had Excalibur at his belt.

"Oh daddy your sword is so beautiful," Anna said admiring Excalibur's golden hilt.

"Princess weapons are not for little girls. Maybe your Auntie Morgana can give you a necklace or a bracelet when we see her."

"Yay! Can we go now?" Anna asked exitedly, bouncing up and down again.

"That's the plan princess. But first go and give mummy a bid hug and kiss goodbye because we will not see her for a while," Arthur said trying to stay positive even though it killed him to leave Guinevere. Once Anna and Amhar said their goodbyes, Arthur sent them outside with their Uncle Merlin so he could say goodbye to Guinevere.

"I love you so much Guinevere," Arthur said hugging her close. "Please take care of yourself and the baby. I can't live without either of you. We will return," he said kissing her on the lips.

She moved kissing his forehead and then his lips "Oh Arthur," she mumbled sadly, "Please come soon. Take care of Anna and Amhar, they need you so much so take care of yourself. I love you so much, never forget that. And don't worry with Merlin here the baby and I are in safe hands."

Arthur kissed her lips once more and then kissed her stomach, "I love you both, take care" mumbled Arthur before standing up, kissing her on the forehead one more time before heading out the door where his kids were waiting.

He stood watching them running around Merlin giggling and laughing. "Alright that's enough," Arthur said catching them in a playful hug.

"I agree thanks Arthur," Merlin said, catching his breath. "Take care on your journey. Bye kids," he said waving to them and going back inside with Guinevere. Arthur theme grabbed their hands and led them over to the waiting horse.

"Alright up you go," Arthur said swinging Amhar up onto the horse, followed by Anna. Once they were settled Arthur swung up behind them, taking the reigns. He then looked back at the house once more before galloping out of sight and towards Camelot.

hey how do you like this story so far? What do you think of Anna and Amhar? I really want to know what you think because it took me forever to figure out their personalities and how they should be. Arthur and Guinevere's situation? I will go into detail about how Guinevere got sick and how they were banished in the next chapter. I hope you like this :) please read and review!

Love, Arthurlover7
