Chapter 6
When the day turned into night Arthur lead Merlin back to what was now their chambers. Morgona of course tagged laughing at Merlin's confused face as he was lead through the castle. "This is it" Arthur wrapped an arm around Merlins waist as he opened the door "wait Arthur aren't you meant to carry Merlin inside" Morgona giggled "Oh please no, please" Merlin begged "your right Morgona" Arthur ignored Merlin completely as he swung his over his shoulders walking inside the room "Arthur put me down" Morgona' s laughter drowned out Merlin's complaints "Arthur please you'll make me feel sick" "sorry" Arthur sat Merlin down on the bed "are you alright?" Arthur looked over Merlin's face "yes you idiot I was only joking so you'd put me down" Merlin teased lying down. Arthur rolled his eyes "I'm going to get something to eat want anything?" Merlin mumbled a quite yeah ok "please" Morgona nodded taking a seat beside Merlin.

"What does it feel like?" Morgona's question confused Merlin "It's hasn't even been two days yet I don't feel any different" "no I mean you're a man" Morgona blushed a little "oh right" Merlin laughed "sorry I'm just used to people calling my boy" "how old are you Merlin?" Morgon asked seriously "18 but I'll be 19 about a month after the babies born" Merlin shrugged "and you don't mind any of this, being married and expecting a bay so young" even though she was only 2 years older than Merlin the idea of having any of those things at that age "yeah because it was my lifelong dream to move to Camelot, be thrown in jail for being the way I was born only to meet the prince, for us to fall in love, find some a spell that let us have a child, marry in the cells almost get my head cut off be rescued by Arthur and of course you and through all that end up pregnant with the princes child" they both laughed. "I was being serious" Morgona stated as the laughter died down "I love Arthur" Merlin rested a hand of his flat stomach "this make Arthur happy but yeah it's brilliant" Morgona smiled at Merlin.
Arthur walked back into the room and much to Morgona's impression was carrying the food himself. They ate and laughed until the fire burned out. Morgona excused herself retreating back to her own room for sleep. Arthur much to Merlins annoyance carried Merlin over to their bed. As Arthur placed him under the covers Merlin lacked onto Arthur's neck pulling him down kissing him hard "Merlin" Arthur groaned "yes" Merlin asked playfully "you're half asleep" Arthur pushed Merlins hands that had been trying to remove his shirt away and pulled it off himself "am not" Merlin grumbled as Arthur laid down next to him "yes you are" Arthur laughed as Merlin yawned in spite of himself "fine but you owe me" Merlin mumbled resting his head against Arthur's chest as he fell asleep. Arthur tired not to laugh as he closed his eyes.

When Merlin woke up the next morning he felt someone playing with his hair, looking up he saw Arthur smiling down at him "wondered how long it'd take for you to wake up" "sorry if some of us have been sleeping on the cold hard ground for the last couple of days and didn't want to get out of such a comfortable bed" Merlin teased leaning up to kiss Arthur. Moving to sit up Merlin wrapped his arms around Arthur's neck pulling him closer as he licked at Merlin's lips, opening his mouth Merlin moaned as Arthur ran his tongue along Merlin's. Pulling back Merlin saw Arthur was biting his lip "what's wrong?" "nothing, it's just I'm meant to be training with my knights today" Arthur admitted "so go" Merlin didn't see any problem with Arthur continuing his life as the prince "I don't want to leave you alone" Arthur sighed rubbing his head "I'll be fine" Merlin promised "so you say, but what if something goes wrong or my father has a fit or something and tires to hurt you and I'm not here to protect you" Arthur's arms tightened around Merlin "your still the prince so you need to do what's required of you" Merlin whispered "but who'll look after you?" "I can look after myself" Merlin moaned "I don't want you to be by yourself "Arthur's eyes suddenly light up. Pulling Merlin out of the bed the two dressed quickly, Merlin swore he caught Arthur watching him but decided not to mention it. Dragging Merlin down the hall Arthur stopped at a room which was to Merlin pretty random "Morgona open up I need a favour" Arthur knocked on the door "Arthur wait a minute, do you always have to be so rude" someone mostly likely Morgona hissed for inside "it's part of my charm isn't it Merlin" Arthur shot back at her "yeah you can't help but be won over by it" Merlin couldn't stop himself laughing, Arthur and Morgona reminded him of little children fighting over a toy. "I'll be back in a couple of hours" Arthur wrapped his arms around Merlins waist pulling him in to lean against him chest " I know" Merlin leant his head back on Arthur's shoulder as they wait for Morgona to open the door.

When the opened a shy looking girl stuck her head out "Prince Arthur what can I do for you" she smiled "hello Gwen, I need to speak to Morgona" Arthur spoke in a way that made Merlin think Arthur was more polite then he acted around him "Arthur what can I do for you this time?" Morgona suddenly appeared at the door "I have to go to training but I...I don't" Arthur struggled with his words "don't want to leave Merlin alone in case Uther has a fit, changes his mind and kills Merlin on the spot" Morgona guessed "there is no way you could have seen that in your dreams" Arthur groaned "I guess I just know you to well then" Morgona teased Arthur, turning to face Merlin "I'd love for you to spend the day with us" she opened her door fully and disappeared back inside. Arthur leant down closer to Merlin and kissed him, just as Merlin was beginning to respond Arthur pulled away "I'll be back latter don't worry Morgona won't let anything happen to you" he whispered before turning away, walking down another corridor.

"Merlin this is Gwen. My maid but truly my best friend" Morgona introduced sitting Merlin down in the chair beside hers "hey" Merlin smiled a little nervously, he was never good at meeting new people he usually said the wrong thing or had no idea who they were and mad himself look like an idiot , "hi" Gwen sat down in the only chair left. Merlin's first impression of Gwen was that she was a shy but sweet girl, however after spending some time with her de discovered he was wrong, she was sweet but once you knew her she was far from shy, she often said more then she meant to and would get all embarrassed and try to apologise until Morgona told her to shut up.
"So your married to the prince, your practically royalty now" Gwen stated as Merlin took a sip from his cup "and your baby will be a prince or princess" Merlin chocked, coughing as he tried to breath normally "how did you find out?" he asked "my' lady told me of course" Gwen shrugged as Merlin glared at Morgona "I don't mind of course I think it's amazing and as long you and the prince are both happy then it shouldn't matter" Morgona looked at Merlins worried face as Gwen continued talking aware of the sudden change in Merlin "don't worry no one else knows" she held his hand "I don't care who knows it just, what it they don't like it, what if they try and hurt the baby" he shuddered "you really think Arthur would let them do that. There are some brave men in Camelot but none would dare cross the prince" Gwen moved kneel beside Merlin "besides I'd see them coming and stop them before Arthur even noticed anything was wrong" Morgona promised. After Merlin calmed down the three sat in the room and laughed about nothing until Arthur returned for Merlin.

"So what do you think about them?" Arthur asked reaching to hold Merlin's hand as they walked back to their room "their mad, insane, brilliant, friendly but they was they laugh like they know something I don't scares me" Merlin admitted, Arthur shrugged "they most likely do" "that's comforting" Merlin groaned resting his head on Arthur's shoulder as they walked.
