Chapter two
Merlin wanted to believe Arthurs promise, he really did but there was a part of him that couldn't help thinking about what Arthur would do once he was dead. Arthur stroked Merlins face "What's wrong?" Merlin shook his head "what are you going to do?" "What do you mean?" Arthur was confused now "when I'm dead, what are you going to do?" Arthur shoot up from where he sat, placing his hand on Merlin's shoulders he looked him in the eyes "You're not going to die, I won't let them, I don't care what my father says. I can't loss you" Merlins heart sank as the prince's words hit him "What if you can't stop them?" he whispered "No one is going to touch you, they'll never get the chance" Arthur promised tears in the corners of his eyes that he refused to let fall "it's ok I believe you" Merlin hugged Arthur who gripped him tightly not willing to let go. He did eventually have to let go "I'll be back before the sun rises I have to speak to my father" Merlin nodded as Arthur pulled him in for on more sweet kiss, leaving Merlin breathless as he left the cell.

"What new do you bring?" Uther called to his son as he entered to room. Arthur walked past the crowds to his father's throne "none that would please you" he answered "so you have found out nothing" Uther spat "No, he has told me a lot but none of this information would satisfy you" "what is it" Uther ordered "He is not evil" the crowd gasped at the princes words "he is a good man and doesn't deserve to die. He was tricked into using his magic by a man he had once called friend" Arthur explained ignoring the look of outrage his father was giving him "you expect me to believe this" Uther yelled so loudly that Arthur was sure Merlin could hear of the way in the calls "I believe him" Arthur stated "he's enchanted you" Uther gasped "what father no" "he's too dangerous to be kept alive he will die tomorrow morning" Uther ordered "NO" Arthur yelled, everyone in the room turned to look at him "I won't let you kill him" he hissed "you don't have a choice" Uther smirked as he walked from the room.

Arthur didn't know what to do. So he ran. He ran through the castle looking for the two people who might help him. Turning a corner Arthur saw Morgona walk into Gaius's chamber closing the door behind her. Pushing himself forward he barged through the door, "their gonna kill him, you have to help me .Please"
Morgona had not been expecting that. "Who?" she asked "Please I can't loss him, it's not his fault, he was born like it. He didn't" Arthur's voice broke as he started to shake "who are they going to kill Arthur?" Morgona sat Arthur in the closest chair. "Merlin" he whispered before breaking down out of fear for what Uther was planning to do to his Merlin.
"Now Arthur your sure Merlin wasn't lying?" Guias warned "yes" Arthur groaned "How do you know?" Morgona rested a hand on his shoulder "I just do Morgona, you have to trust mo on this, you didn't see him" Morgona nodded "so what do we do?" she turned to Gaius, who walked back over to them with a book "well I'm afraid there isn't much we can do" "what" "but" Gaius held up his hand to silence them "I said not much" he handed the book to Arthur who took it "give that to him" "will it save him?" Arthur's voice gave away none of the panic that was hidden away in his eyes "No, but there is bound to be something in there that could" Guias explained "thank you" Arthur called as he ran from the room and back to Merlin.

Merlin was surprised to see Arthur back so soon. Just like Arthur though he had heard ever word that Uther had yelled. "What are you doing here?" he asked as Arthur sat down next to him and franticly unlocked his handcuffs "Arthur" Arthur looked up at him with terrified eyes "here use this" he shoved the magic book into Merlins hands "what do you want me to do with it" Merlin already knew the answer "use it, escape, run Please" Merlin looked away "no" he whispered "what? Merlin he's gonna kill you" Arthur sat back shocked "I said no" Merlin repeated " Merlin please " Arthur begged "NO" Merlin shouted "ask me for anything and I'll do it, anything but this I won't leave you" Merlins voice softened as tears ran down his face "Merlin please you have to" Arthur whispered pulling Merlin into his arms " I can't. If I left you now I'd may as well be dead" Merlin looked up with pleading eyes "ok" Arthur wiped the tears away "but we'll find another way to save you".

Merlins head rested on Arthurs shoulder as he read through the magic book. "Found anything" Merlin shook his head as he turned another page, what he saw shocked him "what the hell is that?" Arthur asked stealing the spell book "It's a spell" Merlin teased "yes I know that, but what does it do" "you really want to know" Arthur nodded "It's a spell that allows male wizard that carry children" Arthur burst out laughing "you're not serious, there can't be a spell for that" "I am and there is" Merlin sighed turning serious "would it work?" Arthur turned oddly serious "you mean... could I do that?" Arthur nodded "It would save you" Merlin smiled a little at the idea but quickly shook it away "how would it save me Uther would just see it as another reason to kill me" Arthur tilted Merlins head up to look at him "he can't kill him own grandchild" Merlins mind went blank, it was Uthers grandchild then it would be "you mean" Merlin nodded his head to trying to get the message across "yes Merlin it would be my child as well as yours, our baby" Merlin was almost swayed over hearing Arthur say that sentence "it wouldn't matter is your the father, it would be a barstard child and Uther would kill it along with me without a second though" "But what if the baby wasn't a barstard? What is we were married, he couldn't kill either of you then" Arthurs eyes light up as his plan formed in his head "But were not" Arthur stood up "don't worry, I'm going to get you out of here" Arthur promised running out of the cells.

Plan formed, he just had to find someone, anyone who could marry him and Merlin without asking and questions or object to his plan. Then he remembered the person he needed. Knocking on the door Arthur walked into the room "Arthur what are you doing here" Morgona asked sticking her head around the corner of his room "how much do you know about me and Merlin, what have you seen" he demanded "enough to know what you're about to ask" she laughed "well' "the priest will be here after sundown, I'll bring him down after Uther is asleep, don't worry I'll be there to see it all so people will have to believe you" they smiled at each other.

Arthur re-entered the cell to find Merlin asleep laying by the magic book still open to the same page. "Merlin wake up I have a surprise for you" he shook Merlin slightly to wake him "Ar...Arthur" Merlin whispered sleepily "yes Merlin now wake up" "Arthur I cast the spell, I don't care if you think it'll save me and if it's what you want then I'll do it" Merlin spoke in a rush, Arthur hugged Merlin and kissed him hard "Hey that parts no until later" Morgona called from behind them, Merlin sank closer to Arthur "Merlin this is Morgona, she is going to help us" Arthur ran his hands across Merlins cheek "did you bring them?" Arthur addressed Morgona who stood to the side to show the person behind her. "Arthur what's going on" Merlin asked, Arthur looked back at him "Marry me?" Merlin laughed-why has he not seen that coming- "yeah ok" he whispered back to Arthur taking his hand.
