As Well As My Own - Arthur/Gwen - PG
At dinner, Guinevere reaches for another slice of meat. And then more carrots. And asks for more water.
She is eating heartily tonight, Arthur notes. She doesn't even care much for venison.
In bed, it seems her breasts are fuller than normal. Not bigger, just fuller. Heavier.
It also seems more than one of her appetites has increased.
In the morning, Arthur is woken by the sounds of his Guinevere quietly being sick into a chamber pot. He comes around the screen and kneels behind her, rubbing her back softly.
"I do not wish for you to see me like this," she says softly.
"Like what?" Arthur asks, leaning down to kiss the back of her neck. "With child?"
Gwen stills. "What?"
"I think you're with child, Love," he says quietly, kissing her neck again, wrapping his arms around her midsection.
She takes the goblet of water he holds for her and drinks. He can see her counting as she drinks.
"Possibly…" She frowns.
"Why the frown, my love?"
"You knew before I realized it myself."
"Did I not tell you I know your body as well as my own?" he smiles. "Apparently I also know it better than you know your own."
