This is the same chapter as chapter 10 but I changed the ending so I am posting it again so everyone gets to read it. I hope this satisfies you!

Knock knock knock. Arthur awoke with a start where he had dozed off next to Amhar on the bed. He felt Amhar squirm around at the sound of the noise, but stayed asleep. Arthur chuckled slightly as he moved his son under the blankets, tucking him in and kissed him on the forehead before heading towards the door. Hopefully that's Gwaine returning Anna, Arthur thought opening the door.

"Arthur, come quick," Percival said as soon as Arthur opened the door. "It's Anna she can't be found anywhere and-" Percival barely finished as Arthur moved past him and bolted down the hall.

"Stay with Amhar," Arthur yelled over his shoulder, making his way to the stairs and outside. He then ran to the lower town, scanning the streets for his daughter and Gwaine. The people gasped as Arthur stood there in the middle of the town, but he did not pay them any heed only searching for his daughter.

Suddenly from the corner of his eye he saw a flash of red and gold going the opposite direction towards the palace. Arthur turned to see four castle guards chasing his daughter and grew panicked, braking into a run as Anna gave a scream of terror when one of the guards caught her in the arm pulling her backwards to face him.

"Your not going anywhere missy," the guard snapped holding Anna's arm in his grip.

Anna began to panic even more as the guard tightened his iron grip on her arm. "Let me go," she screamed, stomping on his foot.

"Ow, you little brat," the guard said in pain grabbing her hair and gave it a tug causing Anna to turn around and face him. "Do you know what happens when you mess with the royal guard and steal, little girl," he yelled into her face. Anna flinched holding back tears, feeling terrified then she had ever been in her life. "They get a big punishment for a week, so it's off to the cells for you."

"No you- you can't put me in the cells because daddy would kill you. And only mummy is aloud to give punishment's to me because she is the boss of me but you are not so your not allowed to hurt, ow," Anna yelped as the guard smacked her in the mouth.

"Don't you back talk me girl, it's not like your daddy could-"

"Get your hands off my daughter," Arthur said sternly, running up behind them and pointing his sword into the palace guards back. "Now or I will run you through," Arthur barked pushing on his back with the sword. The guard let out a startled gasp releasing Anna.

"D-daddy," Anna called running around the guard to Arthurs side. At the call of his name, Arthur bent down as Anna rushed into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. Arthur then picked her up, cradling her to his chest with one arm and still pointing his sword at the guard with the other.

"Stay away from her, do you understand?," Arthur said angrily as the guard turned to face him.

"Y-yes Sire, I apologize if I caused her harm but she was stealing and fighting a royal guard," he said trailing off at Arthur's glare.

"Oh I'm sorry, then go right on ahead and put a little girl the into the cells," Arthur said sarcastically. "Get out of my sight, all of you," Arthur yelled at the guards, all his sarcasm gone. "Oh and I suggest keeping your anger to your self in the future, no matter who it is your not allowed to treat kids or anyone like that, got it?" He nodded quickly, turning around and running away, leaving Arthur with a trembling Anna in the middle of the marketplace.

"Anna, Anna, Anna where are you? Oh Arthur's going to kill me, Anna," Arthur looked up to see Gwaine walking towards them with Lancelot Elyan and Leon. Gwaine had been calling his name when he caught sight of her and Arthur together on the road. "Oh o," Gwaine mumbled, cursing himself as he walked to Arthur and Anna.

"What happened Gwaine?" Arthur fumed glaring at the knight.

"Er... We met these little boys in town,and they were playing, Anna talked with them, one of the boys began to talk to me and Anna disappeared with the other boy. She ran off with him or he took her somewhere I think," Gwaine said hesitantly.

"Where is this boy? I'm going to-"

"NO daddy!," a voice said, interrupting Arthur. Arthur looked down to see Anna's teary eyes staring up at him wide eyed. "no," she said again, "I will not let you do anything to him, he is my friend. If anything blame me, I wanted to spend time with him so don't blame him. And the little girl was starving, I could not let her starve. And please don't blame Uncle Gwaine either please-daddy," Anna faltered in her words bursting into tears all over again.

Arthur sighed holing her closer to him, "its alright princess, it's ok. I won't I promise," Arthur said trying to calm his daughter back down. "You guys can go," Arthur said dismissing the knights, "I will see you lot at dinner but right now..." they nodded in understanding, before Arthur could say more. Arthur then tightened his grip on Anna and made his way back to the palace and into his chambers.

He slowly entered his chambers to see Percival sitting on a chair next to the bed as Amhar slept on. "Thank you for staying with him Percival, but you may go now," Arthur said gratefully nodding his head to the knight. Percival nodded back, standing up and walked out of the room.

Once he was gone, Arthur paced the room, still holding Anna who was close to the verge of sleep. When she finally was unconscious on his shoulder, Arthur moved Anna to the bed next to Amhar. He then tucked both of them in, kissing them both on the cheek before heading over to his desk, which still had paperwork on it from the last time he was here. Arthur then lowered his head into his hands sinking into the chair and thinking about Guinevere, wondering if she was alright and if he would ever see her again.

Back at Guinevere's house:

"Oh come on Gwen don't give up on me now," Merlin mumbled to himself as she drifted back into unconsciousness. Merlin dipped the cloth into the water again, splashing it onto her head, trying to bring down her new fever.

All afternoon since Arthur left her fever had gone up and down almost 10 times in the past two hours and here Merlin was again cooling her down. Many times he thought of using magic to cure her but he could not risk harming the baby. The skills needed were from Gaius back in Camelot and Merlin knew it could be only a matter of time before Guinevere would break out and cause herself to have the baby early.

"Oh Gwen, not now," Merlin whispered as she began to squirm. She still had at least another month or two before her baby's should be born but with her sickness it may cause her to have it early if she... Merlin grimaced at the thought. "Oh Arthur please come back to get us soon," Merlin said to himself wiping the cloth on her forehead again.

"Oh Guinevere," Arthur mumbled, burrowing his face in his hands. "I need you, I almost lost Anna today Amhar is doubting me and i don't know what to do. I need your guidance and your help, I'm a mess without you and..." Arthur snapped his head up an idea forming in his mind.

Arthur quickly ran to the door, "Get me sirs Percival, Leon, Lancelot, Elyan, and Gwaine, tell them to come to my chambers immediately," Arthur said to the guard outside his door. "Now," Arthur snapped as the guard turned on his heel down the hall.

About 15 minutes later the knights knocked onto the door, "Arthur you called for us Sire," Leon asked. Nodding Arthur ushered them inside the room and around his desk where a map lay on the table.

"I'm sending you on a special mission, I want you to go and bring Guinevere back home. I will give you a route and I want you guys to leave as soon as this meeting is over and be back before sunset, it takes about two hours on fast horseback and about three to return. I want her back home and this is where she needs to be. Can you handle it?" Arthur asked looking from one knight to another.

"Finally some action around here, I'm in," Gwaine said excitedly.

"Count us in to Sire," Leon said nodding in agreement with Lancelot and Percival.

"I would do anything for my sister," Elyan said nodding.

"Good, so our home is here and here is the route," Arthur said pointing out their cottage and drawing up a route on the map before handing it to Leon.

As the knights were on there way out Arthur stopped them again, "Oh if any harm comes to Guinevere or my unborn child I will have your heads and make training a living hell understand?" Arthur asked seriously. They all nodded quickly, knowing just how bad Arthur's temper could get when it came to Guinevere. "So we are clear," Arthur said smiling and then dismissed them.

Once they were gone Arthur turned back to Anna and Amhar who were asleep on the bed. Suddenly Anna began to whimper and call her mothers name in her sleep, Arthur rushed over and stroked her forehead, something he had seen Guinevere do when the children had night terrors. "It's alright Anna, mummy will be here soon. I promise don't worry your safe, shh," Arthur soothed as the little girl settled back down into unconsciousness.

Now that she was settled Arthur thought about moving to sleep with his children but his mind was too occupied with Guinevere. Would he ever see her again? How was she holding up? Is the baby ok? Is Merlin taking care of her well? He then moved to the window watching the knights prepare to go and get his beloved wife. As they rode out Lancelot turned and waved to him before continuing on after the others. "Be careful and bring her back safe," Arthur whispered as they rode out of site.

I decided to change the ending of this chapter because a lot of reviews told me that it was rushed and there was not enough about Arthur thinking of Guinevere. But I should say that even though I don't write about it he is always thinking of her. But having to watch and take care of young twins can be hard on Arthur so please don't be judgmental about the lack of Arwen please. This is only the beginning and there is a lot more to write in this fiction. I know it's slow going but please be patient. Anyways I hope you like this version better.

So what do you think, Anna and the guard, Arthur and the guard, the knights and Arthur (I did not want him to be mad at Gwaine even though I know he deserved more then that but...), Arthur's feelings at the end?

Yes I can finally say what do you think about how Guinevere and Merlin are doing? I hope I satisfied you (my readers) in giving you a moment of Merlin tending to Guinevere there will not be a full chapter on them but there will be snippets until the knights go get her and bring her back to Camelot.

next chapter Morgana! I know it's time for her to come in the story because it has been missing her, so she is in the next chapter!

please read and review!
