Enjoy. =)

Previously...

"You have no reason to worry, my dear..." Uther said to Morgana while they walked to Gaius chambers, arm in arm as always. "You'll see, Gaius and Merlin probably have a wise idea." He sounded more confident than he actually felt.

They stopped in the corridor, Morgana looking into his eyes.

"If... if what we concluded is right... Uther, I really don't know what I would do." He voice was low, but he could hear concern on it.

She looks so fragile, so vulnerable... Uther couldn't help but hug his ward, noticing with pleasure how her body fits so comfortably into his arms, how her head finds so easily its place on his chest... She needs him so much! And he urges to be there for Morgana at any time.

"Excuse me." A woman's voice interrupted the beautiful moment, making Morgana look at her.

Chapter 8

"Morgause?" She was surprised.

"I'm sorry for interrupt..." Morgause played the good girl. She has been following the couple since the beginning. She saw Arthur leaving her sister's chambers and, some minutes after, Morgana and Uther had. "But we really need to talk, sister."

"Oh?" Morgana took some moments to go back to earth. "About what?"

Morgause didn't know how to answer that. She didn't want to alarm the king. Even because he was the topic in question.

"Sisters topic." She finally answered looking at Uther with a smirk.

"Oh... but now I must see Gaius." Morgana told her sister. "Could we talk latter?"

"Of course." Morgause forced a smile. She hoped her sister would leave Uther and talked to her. Yes, it wouldn't be an easy job... "Is the king going to see Gaius with you, Morgana?" She asked seriously and Morgana nodded happily. "Why?"

"Oh... yes... we..." She blushed. Not only they would talk to the physician about her sight, but today he would examine the lady to know how her baby was. And Morgause didn't know about her baby yet.

"Couple topic." Uther smirked at his future sister in law in a perfect imitation of the lady.

"Well." Morgause looked at her sister again. "Then we talk later."

And saying that, Morgause just continued her way across the corridor, making Uther wonder about the blonde woman's intentions.

"I know she's your sister..." Uther murmured as the blonde woman was distant. "But that was weird."

"Yes." Morgana agreed. "She's just so different! Not only because we haven't seen each other for a long time but... I don't know, Uther, there's something else about her." She said thoughtfully. "I can feel it."

They continued their way to Gaius' chambers and reached the door.

"Well... you're sisters. Maybe she was right and all you need is some good sisters' conversation." He said while knocking.

Kevin opened the door.

"Morgana!" He was always so happy to see her!

The lady smiled as the child hugged her.

"Hello, Kevin" She said caressing his light brown hair.

"Come in!" He said. "Oh... Hello, my lord." He added politely, finally noticing the king.

"Good morning." Uther entered.

"Morgana, my lord..." Gaius had a gentle smile. "It's time to see how your child is doing." It made Morgana smile. "Please, come here." He showed her the small bed where he uses to examine his patients.

Morgana left Uther's arms and walked slowly to the bed, an expecting smile on her lips. She carefully sat on the bed and lay back with a sigh.

"Well." Gaius continued. "Come here, Merlin."

The boy got up and went amazed to where the others were. Morgana was so enchanting! Her dark hair contrasting so intensely with the white sheets...

"Merlin." Gaius called him. "Are you hearing me?"

"Oh... I..." He felt his cheeks get hot and knew he was blushing. "I'm so sorry, Gaius. Could you repeat?"

"Do I have a choice?" The old man said ironically. "I was saying you must learn about pregnancy. I won't be able to work forever, you know I'm an aged man." He said a bit dramatically. "And Lady Morgana kindly agreed to let you examine her, so I can teach you properly."

"Oh... hum... thank you." He finally said, receiving a beautiful smile from the lady. "May I start, then?" He smiled back.

Uther looked at them with attention, for the first time noticing how comfortable they were with each other.

"You don't need to be concerned, sir." Kevin said holding his hand. Oh, did the boy see his emotions by touching him? Or his concern was so clear on his face than even a child could notice it? "Merlin is a very good physician, he is going to take a good care of her and the baby."

Well, Uther thought, at least the boy didn't see the real cause of his concern. They walked nearer of Morgana.

Merlin touched her belly delicately and she smiled in expectation.

"So, Merlin?" Gaius encouraged his pupil.

Merlin's hands moved a bit, causing Morgana to close her eyes. As Uther noticed that, he was getting more and more concern. Merlin is a good physician. He has magic just like her. He's young... so his thoughts were subtly interrupted by Morgana's delicate hand taking his. As he looked at her, he received a sweet smile that made him forget about any concern.

"You're about 21 weeks." He told Morgana. "And everything is fine with your child." It caused Uther to lean down and kiss her chastely.

Merlin continued examining his friend. He knew the baby's health wasn't the only thing important here, Morgana must be health too.

"And you couldn't be better!" Merlin smiled at her.

"I... uh..." Kevin was trying to say something awkwardly. "May I examine you too?" He finally managed to ask it.

"Of course you can!" Morgana and Merlin exchanged an amused smile. "You know, it's an honour having so many physicians taking care of me and my baby..." She winked at Uther, who was looking amazed at her.

She soon felt little hands touching her stomach.

"I... I can't see nothing like a baby here!" He said worriedly.

"Of course not!" Gaius was a bit impatient. "It's her stomach. Try a bit down."

Merlin took Kevin's hands and placed them in the right place.

"Here." The lad said. "Can you feel it? Something a bit harder than the rest of her belly?"

"Yes!" Kevin smiled and his eyes soon lost its focus. "Oh..." The boy smiled. "She's so lovely!"

"She?" Morgana was very excited. "So it's a girl?"

"A very beautiful girl!" Kevin's cheek got pink.

"That's ridiculous!" Gaius said. "It's too early to know the baby sex!"

"But... but..." Kevin tried to explain. "I'm seeing the future!" He smiled again. Yes, it was really a nice thing that Morgana helped him with sights about the future. "And she's a girl about my age. And it's her birthday and she's so happy and beautiful!"

Uther took Morgana's tear with his thumb.

"Our little Vivienne!" She said smiling and crying.

The king couldn't help but touch her belly, feeling full of love and admiration for his family.

"Oh!" Morgana suddenly sat on the bed, bringing Kevin back to reality. "So... that means... my sight..."

"Slowly, Morgana..." Uther was at her side instantly. "Breathe, my dear..."

"Last night I had a sight." She told them after a sigh. "About a man saying innocent blood must be poured. And... it scared me. A lot."

Uther sat at her side and passed an arm around her shoulders.

"And I knew it was about my baby." She continued.

"Are you sure?" Gaius asked. "I mean, if Kevin has just seen your daughter about nine or ten years old, probably nothing serious will happen to your baby."

"Yes, but... maybe there's something we must avoid." Merlin pointed. "So Kevin's sight can come true."

"That's what I concluded too, Merlin." Morgana said. "The weirdest was that this morning Arthur went to my chambers to talk to us."

"About Agravaine!" Uther continued.

"Oh, I'm glad to know that airhead finally listened to me!" Merlin said to himself making his friends laugh.

"Merlin!" Gaius was the only one shocked.

"Anyway..." Uther said. "He basically told us to be careful."

"And that was when I realised it was Agravaine in my sight." Morgana said darkly.

"Does he know you're pregnant?" Gaius asked.

"No." She answered.

"Better keep it secret then." The old physician suggested.

"How can she?" Merlin said. "Maybe for a while. But the king has already told the people about the baby. It's a matter of time until Agravaine hears one's comment."

"Indeed." Uther agreed.

"My sister!" Morgana remembered. "I still don't know what's going on between Agravaine and Morgause!"

"Morgana, what are you talking about?" Uther didn't get it.

"The night I went to talk to my sister while you had paper work to do... well... Agravaine was there, he left as soon as I arrived." Morgana explained. "Now I'm worried."

"Well, my dear..." Uther couldn't lie to himself. He was a bit relieved that Agravaine could have some interest for Morgause, so he will stop looking at Morgana with such a hungry gaze! "You have the perfect opportunity to talk to her. She wanted to talk some moments earlier..."

"Yes. At least to know her feelings for him." Morgana said. "But what about Agravaine? His intentions! And if he hurts her?"

"Maybe someone should try to find out his true intentions." Gaius said wisely. "Not only about Morgause, but about being in Camelot."

All gazes instantly went to Merlin.

"What? Me?" Merlin was so shocked!

"Who else?" Gaius asked as if it were obvious. "You don't expect me to sneak in the middle of the night to try to find everything out, do you?"

"Of course not..." Merlin smirked at that idea.

"Please, Merlin." It was Morgana now. "I need you to help me." She said sweetly, not conscious of how much she affected him. "Keep an eye on Agravaine... help me to find out what he wants with my sister and why he's here in Camelot."

"Of course but... how am I supposed to do so?" Merlin was confused.

"Follow him!" Gaius said as if it were so obvious!

"Wow! Just like a spy!" Kevin was amazed. "Please, let me go too!"

"No." Merlin said immediately. "Too dangerous."

"But... but..."

"Why don't you protect Morgana's baby?" Merlin suggested.

"Like a knight?" He was excited again.

"Sure, the best one!" Uther smiled at the little boy, knowing Morgana misses him.

"Don't worry, my lady!" Kevin said. "I'll protect beautiful Vivienne with my own life if necessary!"

After a brief moment, Merlin took a breath and decided to tell something.

"You know... an odd thing happened to me too." Every eye was on him. "Last night I awaked too."

"Merlin!" Gaius was surprised. "Why would it be so weird?"

"Because there was magic being done." He said seriously, nothing on his face reminds them of the clumsy and kind young man. "Powerful and dark magic. I could feel it."

That put the king on guard.

"Sister?" Morgana entered in Morgause's chambers after knocking and hear no answer. "Are you here?"

She walked around Morgause's chambers.

"Morgana!" Her voice came to her from behind a screen. "I'm here!" She heard a water sound.

"Are you bathing?" The lady asked. "Maybe I should come back later?"

"No, don't be silly!" Morgause said amused. "Come here... we're sisters after all."

Morgana smiled at that and went to behind the screen, where the tub was near of a window, lightened by the sunlight.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Morgana asked.

"Yes. Please, sister, take a seat." She pointed to the chair near of the tub, where there was a white towel. "Ok, Lucy, you can go now. I'd like to talk to my sister privately." She said to her old maid, who bowed and left quietly.

"So?" Morgana smiled.

"Morgana, I'd like to talk to you about men and marriage." Morgause said seriously, noticing a soft blush on her sister cheeks. "As your older sister, I think it's up to me to do so."

"I... uh..." She was clearly embarrassed. "Sister, I don't think you really have to..."

"Of course I have!" Morgause insisted. "Moreover, it's my pleasure see my little sister becoming a grown up woman." She smiled.

Morgana sighed. She really had to have that conversation?

"Carry on then." She saw she couldn't just leave...

"Well. You know you don't need to marry him if you don't want. And if he's furious because you give up, you always might go to the north with me." She pointed. It would be so easier if Morgana just agree with her!

"Sister. I've already told you I love Uther. I'm not giving up and I'm not going away from Camelot." She said. "I belong here."

"Love!" Morgause laughed. "Is Uther the first man which who you feel attracted?"

"Y-yes." She blushed, confirming her sister's expectation.

"Oh, I can't believe it!" Morgause smirked.

"Well, I arrived here when I was quite young, sister... and it wasn't like I was allowed to hang out with men." Morgana explained.

"I understand. You're the first lady after all." She continued, playing with some rose petals of her bath. "Not even the young prince?"

"Arthur?" Morgana was shocked.

"Why not? He's handsome, funny, he's about your age..."

"Sister, I think he has always loved Gwen." She had never considered dating Arthur!

"At least he has always respected magic." Morgause pointed.

"Oh. That."

"Yes. That." Morgause's eyes met hers. "You're a witch. How can you ever consider marrying Uther Pendragon?"

"Oh, sister, again?" She waved her hands. "I love him. He accepted magic. He loves me. Reasons enough, I guess."

"Fine, I won't talk about magic. But about men. You see, Morgana, as your sister, I just want you to be safe and happy. How can you consider spend the rest of your life with a man if you've never known others?"

"I..." Morgana blushed again. "What are you suggesting?"

"That before you get married, you should know other men." She said. "You don't have to date them, of course... but look at them, talk with them. Know them." Morgause said and it really sounded sincere. "And, for sure, some kisses wouldn't hurt." She smirked remembering her last night with Agravaine.

"Sister!" Morgana's shock caused her smirk to widened.

"Just think, Morgana... there must be someone nice... maybe one of the knights... oh, maybe Lord Agravaine!" Morgause suggested. "Don't look me like this! He's hot!"

Morgana had to admit to herself the man was handsome. She blushed as she remembered Uther's reaction when Agravaine tried to invite her for a ride. Morgause smiled. Her part of the plan was a success!

"But... but... I love Uther, sister. I don't want other men. Even if they're hot." She said low, making Morgause remember her sister as a small child.

"So be it." She said. "Marry him. But I wish you to know that you can give up at any time... I'll be always here for you, Morgana. If some day you change your mind, you'll be welcome to live in the north with me." And she really meant it. She cares about her sister.

"Thank you sister." Morgana smiled.

"Now... you have about what? One week before the wedding?"

"Yes." Morgause noticed how her smile was bright. "I can't wait!"

"And you know that after that your... husband will expect some things from you." She told her sister carefully. Living in Camelot since she was so young with no other woman who really cared about her, surely nobody has told her about that. Oh, she had Guinevere... but the girl just looks even more innocent than Morgana herself!

"What... sister..." Morgana blushed. Morgause wouldn't say that, would she?

"He'll want to have sex with you!" Yes, she would.

"Sister!" Could Morgana blush more? "I-I..."

"You just have to relax and look lovely, Morgana, there's no reason to worry about it." Morgause sounded very experienced.

"Sister! It's... it's not necessary to discuss this topic..."

"Morgana, of course it is!" Morgause couldn't believe how naïve her sister was! "Sex is a very important part of life, especially for a just married couple!"

"But sister, I..." but she couldn't continue, because Morgause just kept going.

"Listen, women also can enjoy sex a lot, you'll see... when he comes to take you, don't be shy, try to..."

"Sister!" Morgana interrupted her, finally sounding as self confident as she uses to. "I'm not a virgin."

"You... aren't?" Morgause's mouth was opened in shock. "How..."

"Uther." Morgana smiled, blushing a bit.

"Oh. And... is he good?" Morgana looked in shock. "I mean... is he gentle with you? Are you happy?"

"Yes, sister, I'm more than happy!"

"Because... he's so older than you, you know maybe a younger man could satisfy you better." She smirked when she remembered Agravaine was about Uther's age and let her more than satisfied last night.

"Sister!" She didn't know her sister was so... easy going when it comes up to sex. "Why does everybody talk about our ages?"

"Maybe because he's about twenty years or so older than you?" Morgause replied in the same tone her sister did.

"Oh..." She sighed. "I don't care. Neither does Uther." She explained. "We fell in love and the bigger problem we faced was magic... oh, and that sorcerer!" She reminded herself. "But our ages had never been a problem to us, so I wonder why it would be for other people."

"Of course it won't be." She forced a smile. It was more difficult than she had imagined.

"So we're getting married and then we'll have our baby and..."

"Baby?" She was serious. "You're planning to have a baby?"

"Oh, I didn't tell you, sister. I'm pregnant." She smiled. Morgause would be happy for her, right?

"You're what?"

Hahaha I laughed so hard imagining Morgause's face! =P Next one we'll see her reaction.

Hope you all have a great weekend! =D
