Hey Guys. I am soo sorry that it took that long to upload a new chapter.
I am back in school so i haven't had much time to write. I will try to write the next chapter quickly :)
So again Thank you to my betareader MidnightSky101. You have quite much to do with my story I think :D
Gwen was fumbling with her new dress, a blue silk one with a golden decorated collar, it was her favourite. She was as nervous as she was on her wedding day because what she was going to tell Arthur within the next seconds would change their lives forever. Gwen heard footsteps in the hallway.
Her hands were shaking all along and in her nervousness she thought back on the day she came to know about it.
She and Arthur had been sharing a bed for over four months now. She knew it would happen one day, but not that fast. She didn't feel well one morning, Arthur had left because he had an important council meeting.
Her stomach had felt like it was burning and she thought her head would burst. A maid had brought her some bread with chicken, which was actually her favourite food for breakfast, but as soon as Gwen smelled the pungent odour of the chicken she jumped out of the bed, fetching the chamber pot from under the bed and she immediately had to vomit. Gwen knew something was absolutely wrong with her. She called for Gaius and he appeared as fast as he could.
'Good Morning, My lady. How are you? '
'I am not feeling very well, Gaius. My stomach feels like it is burning and I am so tired. '
'Since when have you felt this way, Gwen?'
Guinevere asked Gaius a while ago to call her by her name not 'My Queen'. She didn't like it much because she knows Gaius for a long time and she was still the same person.
'I am not sure. It started about a week ago.'
'Let me see...'
Gaius examined Gwen closely, smiling as he came to a conclusion. He said
'I am going to give you a potion, it is in my chambers when you have it, you have to take themedicine three times a day. It will settle your stomach.'
'What is wrong with me, Gaius?'
'Nothing is wrong with you, Gwen. I am delighted to say that you are carrying a child.'
Guinevere's eyes were burning, and a tear was ran down her face.
'My lady? You are going to give birth to the first heir apparent in about eight months! Aren't you glad about it?'
She had to gulp before she could answer.
'Of course... Of course I am. I am just overwhelmed. I can't believe it!'
Gaius was smiling as he left the chambers to fetch the potion. Gwen just had to sit down and had realise that she was going to be a mother in nine months.
And now, now was the moment of the truth. She had kept it from Arthur a month now. Gwen waited for the right moment and Arthur had been too busy in the last few weeks. She wondered why Arthur didn't even see her small womb. The door opened slowly.
'Good evening, My Queen.' He smiled at Gwen brightly.
'What a hard and exhausting day. Guess what? My advisors say I should raise the taxes.' As he started to talk about the problems of being a King he sounded stressed.
'Arthur...'
'I can't do that, they are already high enough. My people can't afford it, and...'
'Arthur, I have to talk to you, it is important!'
Arthur stopped talking about his worries of the council meeting.
'What is it? Are you ill? Have I not paid enough attention to you, Guinevere?'
Her eyes were filled with tears.
'I... I am...' The tears were welling out of her eyes now. Arthur came to her.
'Tell me' He hugged her tightly.
'I am...I am pregnant Arthur!'
He frowned, then a little smile took place, growing bigger and bigger.
'Really?' Knowing that Arthur was happy about it. Gwen smiled and nodded.
'Yes, yes.' They were falling in each other's arms. Arthur dropped kisses over Gwen's beautiful dark skin. He sudden stopped.
There was one question which he wanted to know ; "when?" he asked.
'In about seven months!' Arthur looked perplexed.
His eyes turned to her swollen abdomen.
'How can it be that I didn't realise? I have to pay much more attention to you! I am so happy, Guinevere! I love you so much! Both of you!'
He laid his hands on Gwen's stomach stroking it tenderly and carefully, raising his head to kiss his Queen, the mother of his unborn child, his true love. Kissing her with all the love, with all the passion with all the abandon he felt for her.
