Chapter 9
A lot had changed in 2 months.
Hunith had moved to Camelot to better help care for her son and
to be there to know and help looking after her grandchild. It was
revealed that Gaius had known Merlin sense he was a baby and was
actually his god father. Morgona had taken a not so unexpected
protective motherly nature towards Merlin and the baby, making sure
all guests of the court respected Merlin or in some cases had thrown
her wine in some nobleman's faces. If nothing had changed it was
Uther, the way he completely ignored Merlin and the fact that in only
a couple more months he was going to be a grandfather was begging to
get to Arthur. More than once Arthur had found himself wishing he
could yell and scream at his father for doing to this, everyone else
was happy for them why the hell couldn't he be. Merlin had also
changed....but that was because of his pregnancy, he was still his
happy smiling goofy self only changing into his more serious side
when Arthur returned at night angry and upset at his father. Now that
he was in his sixth month of pregnancy Merlin was begging to have
some weird food cravings.

Rolling over in their bed, Merlin
groaned pulling the sheet up to cover his face unable to get to
sleep. He sat up suddenly wanting some sort of food he would have
never imagined eating before he was pregnant.
"Arthur" he
whispered poking Arthur's side
"mmmhhh what?" Arthur mumbled
still mostly asleep
"I'm hungry" Merlin tried poking him
again
"Yeah sure we can go swimming" Arthur mumbled into his
pillow.
Sighing Merlin reverted to drastic measures he was sue
Arthur would be angry with him for.
"Arthur" he hissed
"oh god
Arthur wake up. PLEASE" he grabbed Arthur hand squeezing it
as if he was in pain
"what Merlin? What is it what's wrong"
Arthur almost jumped out of the bed
"nothing I just want
something to eat" Merlin smiled innocently
"WHAT? Merlin do
you have any idea what was going through my head then. How many
horrible ideas that I thought of" Arthur hissed
"sorry"
Merlin hide his head behind a pillow
"it's ok Merlin just
please don't do that to me again" Arthur laid back down beside
Merlin pulling the pillow away from his face "deal?" he asked
tickling Merlin's side smiling when Merlin couldn't stop himself
laughing as he tried to get away from Arthur "deal?" Arthur asked
again
"ok...ok deal just stop please" Merlin said through his
laughter, Arthur stoped ticking instead he was happy just to hold
Merlin in his arms
"now what kind of food would you like?"
Merlin smiled as he told Arthur his latest craving.

Arthur groaned looking around the
palace kitchen.
How in the hell was he meant to find apple cherry
pudding with extra blueberries, raisins, sugar and honey on top with
sliced banana on the side. When he was pretty sure that so such food
existed and Merlin had most likely listed all the food he craved
Arthur decided it was be far easier just to make to food himself and
not have to deal with the angry cook. He was wrong. After about 10
minutes he was covered in flour and about to smash a bowl of
cherries.
This was how Morgona found him.

"Arthur what are you doing?"
Morgona called leaning against the door frame
"Merlins hungry"
Arthur mumbled not really caring what she wanted far more interested
in trying not to cut his fingers
"you do realise you have flour
in your hair right?" she moved to stand on the opposite side of
then bench from him
"no Morgona when the bag exploded I saw that
it covered every other part of me just not my hair" he sighed
"what
are you doing anyway maybe I can help" she offered
"Merlin's
hungry I was trying to make him some food because the cook is asleep
but I don't have a glue what I'm doing" Arthur admitted
"well
them it's lucky you've got me" she smiled pushing him out of
her way so she could try and fix the mess Arthur had made.
20 minutes latter Arthur watched as
Morgona added the extra honey onto the top of Merlins pudding. "I
never said thank you" Arthur murmured
"It's ok I don't
really mind cooking" Morgona looked up at him giving him a small
smile
"No. well yes thank you for this but I was talking about
everything you've done for Merlin and the baby" Arthur admitted,
Morgona stopped what she was doing "you never had to. I promised
I'd help you look after them and I will besides I see Merlin as a
little brother now and no one hurts my family" her face turned into
an evil smile
"I...I think I want you to be the babies
godmother" Arthur blurted out
"what? Do you mean it?"
Morgona looked like a child that was being teased with her favourite
toy
"yes"
"Yeah sure but do you think Merlin would mind?"
she tried not revealed how excited she was
"he'll think its
brilliant" Arthur could already see Merlin's reaction in his head
"ok then I'd love to" she smiled
"Good" Arthur
nodded.
Morgona handed Arthur the tray
holding Merlins pudding on it
"tell him you made it. I won't
say anything it'll be our little secret" she promised "oh and
Arthur thank you" she called before disappearing from where ever it
was she came from.

Closing the door behind him Arthur quietly walked over to the bed "Merlin I brought you your food" he sat down on the bed putting the plate down on his bedside table "Merlin" he whispered again leaning over to look at his loves face. Merlin was asleep, he'd gone through all that and here Merlin was asleep with an innocent smile on his face. Well he did look rather sweet when he was sleeping. With that thought in mind Arthur wrapped his arms around Merlin drifting back to sleep.

That night Merlin didn't have a single nightmare.
