What Is This?

-Santana-

2 weeks. That is how long I have been without Brittany. Too long in my opinion. But it is my own fault. I have not seen her much since Arthurs return. She spends her days in her chambers. I worry. I worry a lot. But she does not wish to speak to me. She keeps Elizabeth or Rachel at her door, guarding her and preventing me from seeing her. I miss her so much. I think about why I did that, why I hurt her, and I do not understand it, I have always known how dangerous it is for us but have never cared, knowing that our love is strong enough to fight off any trouble it may come across.

Something came over me that day and it has caused such trouble between us. I vow to get her back. If only she would speak to me.

...

I cannot sleep. It is late and the moonlight is streaming in my window casting dark shadows across the room. I am restless. I need to talk to Britt. But I have an idea. Arthur is away again tonight, thankfully. Brittany may have a guard at her door, but no one guards the wall. Smiling at my genius plan I ran from the room, stopping suddenly as I reached the courtyard. Shit. Night patrols. I'd forgotten that ever since Uther died I had improved castle security. If I was seen now then Artie would be informed that I was creeping around. I cannot be seen, even by my own men.

I ducked down behind a bush and scanned my surroundings 3 guards were patrolling the South gate, two stood by the main doors to the throne room, the moonlight shining on their armour as they joked around in the cold, billows of mist coming from their mouths as they chuckled together. The North patrol was no where to be seen and I took my chance running to the bottom of the West tower. Glancing around one last time I turned and looked up.

The bricks in the wall were uneven, jutting out from their formation at odd angles with thick strong vines wrapped around the tower. I took a deep breath and reached up for the first brick placing my foot onto the base of one of the vines. I closed my eyes for a second and pulled my body up onto the next brick climbing higher and higher as I went. I was near her window when my foot slipped and the brick I was standing on broke, falling to the ground and smashing on the hard dirt below. I cursed as the North patrol came around the corner, hurrying to find the source of the noise. I closed my eyes and pressed myself hard against the tower, hoping that I could merge with it, that the night would keep me hidden from their view. I counted to 20 and looked back down, watching as the puzzled guards continued on their patrol with perplexed looks upon their faces. I smiled in triumph and continued on my climb, clambering up onto her windowsill. I peered inside and saw the room was empty apart from her body on the bed covered by the bedsheet.

I smiled sadly at the sight. Memories of laying beside her as she slept flowing through my mind, wiping loose strands of her soft blonde hair from her face and giggling quietly as she mumbled incoherently. I tapped on the window quietly, loud enough that she woke up and sat bolt upright in her bed looking around confused. When she caught sight of me she almost screamed, then as she stormed over the window and flung it open I almost fell. Gripping the edge of the windowsill I maintained my balance and shot her a nervous smile.

'What are you doing?' She growl-whispered.

'I had to see you.' I mumbled, the smile on my face fading away.

'I do not wish to see you. Go away.' She went to shut the window but I put my hand there to stop her.

'What, you expect me to climb back down?'

'There is a guard at my door. I am certainly not letting you out that way.' she chuckled angrily.

'Please just let me speak.' I pleaded.

'Why?' She spat.

'Because I love you.'

She scoffed and walked into the room, I took that as a cue to climb in. It was awkward hanging out of her window anyway. 'Of course you do.' She muttered.

'I really do. I cannot sleep for dreaming, I wake and walk about my chambers as though I may find you coming through my door. I love you Britt, I regret what happened. Please. Forgive me, and take me back my love. I need to have you close again. Please.'

'Why should I believe that you love me?' She said sitting on the bed and resting her hands on her growing stomach.

'Because you are perfect. You are beautiful, smart, funny, kind, you are adorable. When you sleep you hum and sing, you make this little noise between a snore and a squeak and it is so cute that I just want to wrap my arms around you and hold you close, whispering sweet nothings and declaring my love for you. You are carrying our child, our little prince or princess, we are going to look after them as two loving parents should, I'll teach them how to defend themselves and you will show them how to be a good person. You see the good in everybody and that's what I love about you. The way your eyes shine as though they are made from all the stars in the night sky, your hair is softer than silk. I love waking up in the morning with our bodies intertwined and you blowing out soft breaths into my neck. Everything about you is perfect and I cannot lose you. Please. Please forgive me.'

'I do not know if I can...' She admitted looking into my eyes.

'Please.' I begged. I took a chance and gently kissed her, trying to put all my love and devotion into it. I pulled away after a second and stared into those blue orbs that until now I have only seen in my dreams.

'I love you. I forgive you.' She gave me a small smile and hugged me tight. How I have missed holding her in my arms. I subtley brushed away a stray tear as I smiled at her.

'Now what? I cannot leave due to the guard and I am pretty sure that I would not be able to climb back down the tower.'

'Now... get over here and hold me.' She smiled patting the bed as she laid down. I chuckled and removed my knife belt placing it onto the table beside us. I walked over and laid above her on the bed, mindful of the expanding bump on her stomach. She was so beautiful, I loved her so much. I leant down slowly, gently pressing our lips together in a soft kiss.

Suddenly the door slammed open and a deep voice tore through the room.

'WHAT IS THIS?'

...

A/N Any guesses on who walked in? What's gonna happen now?! DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!
