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.
