A/N: Guys, it finally happened! I managed to write something for Morgause! EEK, I'M SO EXCITED! I have literally been waiting to write a Morgause bit since the beginning! I hope you enjoy it! The idea came from a fake spoiler I saw posted on the Merlin wikia page before Series 4 aired. (I was incredibly bummed when I realized it wasn't true. Fanfiction, how I love thee!)

115. Shimmering
She wasn't a caring person. Affection and maternal instinct were two things that had never been in her nature, and she always swore they never would be.
Now, though, as Morgause clutched the baby against her chest, she realized that she felt something for him.
Maybe it was love; maybe it was respect for the powers he would possess one day.
Mordred.
A child, the High Priestess said, of prophecy. Born to betray both his King, and his country.
Now, though, he was just tiny. And fiercely trying to grasp her finger with one little hand.
Despite herself, Morgause smiled.
Cheers!
