Hello everyone, a really long chapter this time, with smut as I thought you all deserved some, but at the same time the action starts and I'm really curious about what you all think of it. Still not really happy about it all and this is the first time for me writing as Arthur during the sex, but I just wanted to try it. Please enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: Okay, I still need a dragon claw and a unicorn tear to finish my potion... If I don't get it than I can't finish my potion to own Merlin. So basically I don't own Merlin, at least not yet. *places her backpack on her back* Okay, time to get these last items.

Merlin moaned softly as he felt Arthur's lips on his chest, softly kissing the skin as he traveled down. Arthur ended on Merlin's stomach, but instead over pleasuring his husband ever further he stopped and stared intensely at the raven's stomach.
In response Merlin moaned at the lost of the touch and he glared up at his husband. 'A-...Arthur?'
It was then that Arthur reacted as his eyes shot back upwards and he blinked for a moment at his lover. A grin quickly returned to the king's face as he brushed his hands over Merlin's bump. 'You're getting big.'
Merlin pushed himself upwards on his elbows as he frowned. 'What?'
'The babies are growing and you're getting a big stomach, I think we have to get you new cloths soon.' The last the blond said with a soft chuckle.
But Merlin didn't think it was funny as his frown deepened. 'What!' His reaction clearly shocked Arthur as the man shot upwards, facing his now crying husband. 'Y-you think I'm fat?' He almost cried out.
Arthur blinked at him, clearly shocked by the sudden outburst. 'No... no, I mean... the babies just make you grow big a-and you're the one always telling me that I'm fat.' He tried.
The warlock didn't stop sobbing, instead he started to hit the blond on the chest. 'You big prat! I'm caring your children and you're calling me fat!... You big, insensitive clothpole.' He shouted.
'I neve-.'
'Out!' Merlin screamed as he almost pushed the king of the bed. 'Get out, now!'
Arthur stumbled through the room as he stared shocked at his husband, not knowing what to do or how to react. But he couldn't get any words out as he was again hit by Merlin. The hits weren't hard, but Arthur didn't dare to defend himself and was quickly pushed out of their chambers and as he turned around he could hear the door slam behind him.
He stared stunned at the door as he heard Merlin lock it from the inside, not completely realising what had just happened.
'Arthur?' He turned his head as his name was called. A frowning Gwaine stood a few meters from him with Lancelot next to him. Gwaine's eyes shot from him to the door and back to the king. 'Did Merlin throw you out?'
Arthur could only nod as stunned as he was and didn't stop the two knights as they pulled him up. 'What happened?' Lancelot asked slightly confused.
'I think I offended him.' It was almost said in a whisper.
'You think that you offended him?' Arthur flinched as he heard the hardness in Gwaine's voice.
The blond stared for a moment at him. 'Apparently I called him fat and he kicked me out.' The glare on Gwaine's face darkened even further.
Lancelot on the other hand chuckled softly. 'Ahh... I see. Happened with me too when Gwen was pregnant.' He patted his king on the shoulder. 'Just don't go against him and agree with everything.'
'But I didn't do anything wrong!' Arthur defended himself as he crossed his arms.
'It are just the hormones of the pregnancy, just give in and wait till he calms down. You will just make it worse if you go against him. He probably will make a completely turn around in a few hours, just have a bit of patience.'
A deep sigh left his lips as he turned back to the door. 'Then I guess I have to be patient.' He said, even though the words left his lips slightly forced. He still felt that it wasn't his fault, but he knew he should be the one that gave in, like Merlin had done many times before with him... He knew that he wasn't the perfect husband with his stubbornness and quick temper, but maybe he could now show that he could be the calm one in their relationship.
He didn't notice how Lancelot pulled Gwaine with him as he knew that it something only Arthur could do... And Gwaine probably wouldn't be a great help... or better said, he would probably make it even worse.
It was why he now sat outside their rooms, ignoring the strange looks he received from the servants that passed him and he waited.
It was a good time to think about their lives. He wasn't really angry at Merlin for throwing him out of their chambers, he knew that it was just because of the pregnancy.
The pregnancy... It was still a rather strange thought that Merlin was pregnant, but... was Merlin happy about being pregnant. He had always looked happy and he hadn't complaint, - okay, he complained about being sick and tired, but never that he wished that he wasn't pregnant, - , but was that really what he felt... It wasn't as if it was his own choice.
It was then that his head snapped up as he heard the soft creaking of the door. He stared up at a pair of bright blue eyes. 'Hi.' He whispered.
'Hi.' Merlin answered in return as he pulled the door further open. 'I'm sorry for getting so angry at you.'
Arthur quickly stood up, opening his arms to embrace his lover as he saw the regret in the other's eyes. 'Don't worry.' He whispered as he kissed Merlin on the lips. 'but I hope that you know that I love you very much.'
'Yeah, I know.' Merlin whispered in return as he hung in the king's arms. They fell silent for a moment before the raven glanced up and Arthur chuckled as he saw the lust in the other's eyes. '... I want you to take me.'
The blond didn't hesitate and without another word he picked Merlin up bridal style and made his way back inside their chambers, placing the raven gently on the bed. It didn't take long before he had Merlin and himself undressed and he hung above his lover, taking in the beautiful sight beneath him. It was then that the thoughts of earlier came back to him.
The smile on his face fell and he could see the confusion in Merlin's eyes. 'Do you mind being pregnant?'
'What?'
'I mean... do you really want to be pregnant?'
The smile returned on his lover's face and Arthur could feel relieve spread through his mind. 'Yes, I want to be pregnant... At first I was scared, but now with the thought of our children living inside me, it just makes everything seem completely right...' With that said Merlin leaned in, kissing him gently on the lips.
The answer was enough for Arthur at the moment and he accepted Merlin's words. His hands roamed over his lover's body, especially circling the large bump before he went even lower. Merlin moaned as Arthur started to stroke his hard cock.
Arthur also felt himself harden as he heard those erotic sounds, those beautiful sounds. The blond lowered himself down, taking Merlin's member in his mouth and he groaned as he tasted that wonderful taste. He started to lick and suck, his hands reaching up to caress those wonderful white thighs. Oh, how he wanted to mark them, showing they were only his.
He retreated his hands and he quickly guided one hand to Merlin's mouth, allowing the raven to suck his fingers. He didn't wait long before he pulled them back, feeling the saliva run over his fingers as he lowered his hand to Merlin's ass. The blond pushed one finger inside, causing Merlin to push up inside Arthur's mouth as a broken gasp left his lips. The king quickly steadied Merlin with his other hand and he pushed another finger inside, scissoring his lover.
He could feel Merlin coming closer, his moans going louder and his legs started to shake. 'A-Arthur!' Merlin almost screamed as he arched his back.
Merlin came deep in Arthur's mouth, spilling his warm seed and Arthur drank every drop of it, knowing that its taste was to addictive.
He pulled himself up, releasing Merlin's member and he watched his lover pant heavily. They locked eyes with each other and Arthur couldn't help, but place another passionate kiss on his smiling lips. 'You're so beautiful.' He whispered quickly as he went further.
Arthur glanced once more down at Merlin, searching for the readiness in the raven's eyes, before he pulled up his lover's legs, placing them gently over his shoulders as he guided his hard and throbbing cock to Merlin's opening and he pushed in. A deep moan left both their lips and Arthur pushed in further till he was fully sheathed inside the warlock. He breathed deeply in, feeling the tightness around his cock, the warmth that had become so special to him. His mind screamed for him to pound into Merlin, to fuck him hard, but he knew he shouldn't, he knew he had to wait for Merlin to adjust.
He watched Merlin's face and he started to thrust as he saw the raven relax. His lover panted loudly with every trust, fisting the sheets in his hands. Arthur went with a steady and deep pace... It felt so good, felt so incredible inside his lover.
Arthur adjusted Merlin's legs so he could reach deeper and he smiled as he heard that sudden yelp, knowing that he had found that sweet spot inside Merlin. 'Look at me.' Arthur ordered, but his voice was still gentle.
Merlin did what was asked of him, opening his eyes halfway as moans kept leaving the his lips. Arthur smiled broadly as he watched those blue orbs, those enchanting pearls and he couldn't help but increase his pace, trusting hard and deep inside his lover, every time hitting that special place inside Merlin.
He was close and he felt that Merlin was not far off either and with one last thrust both men came. Arthur felt warm cum spread over his chest and he filled Merlin with his own.
The king smiled once more at Merlin before he pulled out and sank down next to his lover, pulling the warlock gently to his chest and Merlin snuggled against him in return, their hands entangling themselves into each other and it wasn't long before sleep took over.

Merlin stared out of the window, smiling as he saw the villagers build and decorate the market, it wouldn't be long before the streets would be filled with people. There was going to be a big feast and traders were coming from all over the land to sell their merchandise in Camelot. There would be dancing and laughing, people having fun and Merlin really wanted to go, but he knew that Arthur probably wouldn't let him go.
Unconsciously he brushed over his stomach, feeling the even larger bump beneath his fingers. It wouldn't be long before he had to stay inside. - or better said completely inside as Arthur didn't let him out much - , even Arthur's shirts wouldn't hide his belly anymore.
'But I guess it's worth it as I will have you by my side soon.' He said softly against his stomach, a sad smile spread over his lips. How he missed the freedom, the only thing he longed for at the moment was going for a ride in the woods, just to get out of the city.
He sighed deeply before he stared to sing softly, remembering the songs his mother sang for him and he felt a gentle smile cross his lips.
My little child, sleep tight, sleep well
Watch as the seasons change for you
See how the woods will lose their leaves
Notice how the snow will descend to the ground
Smile as the flowers bloom again
Play as the sun shines bright in the sky
One year turns and one year leaves
The seasons will end and the seasons will begin
So go to sleep and grow real strong
My little child, sleep tight, sleep well.
Merlin didn't even notice that Arthur had made his way inside. The king blinked at him for a moment before he waited with a smile as the raven ended his song. 'That was really beautiful.' Arthur's sudden voice startled Merlin and his head snapped around. The king just chuckled as he sat down and embraced his lover. Merlin smiled softly against his husband and leaned down against his chest. 'So where did you learn that song?'
'My mom, she used to sing it to me when I was little.'
A gentle kiss was pressed against his neck. 'Then we should ask her for more songs when she comes to Camelot... I would love for our children to learn them...' Arthur voice clearly saddened and Merlin turned to look at him.
It was then that he realised what the other said through his words. '...No one ever sang you songs when you were little?'
It took a while before the other answered and he could feel Arthur's hands tighten around him. 'No, not really... my father was really strict about my upbringing. He always believed that such songs were a waste of time...' Arthur looked him in the eyes and he could clearly see the pain in his lover's eyes. 'I don't want our kids to grow up like I did.'
Merlin turned around in Arthur's arms and kissed him softly. 'You know what.' He started. 'I will teach you the songs so you can sing them for our children.'
Joy spread over Arthur's face and he pulled Merlin into a tight hug. 'I would love that.'
The warlock chuckled, feeling happy because his husband was happy. 'Then we will do that.' He whispered before his eyes shifted back to the villagers preparing for the feast. '... Arthur?'
'Yes?'
'Can we go to the feast tomorrow?' He felt Arthur stiffen behind him. '... I know that it rather visible already, but I just need to get out of the castle and I can just wear a large cloak.' It was getting rather cold outside and no one would find it strange to see him wear one.
'I'm not sure...' Arthur started.
Merlin looked at him with pleading eyes. 'Please Arthur, I feel terrible staying inside for so long.'
The king breathed deeply in and he looked as if he was deep in thought. '... Fine, but you will have to stay with me and the knights.'
A bright smile crossed Merlin's lips as he threw his arms around the blond. 'Thank you, thank you so much!'

Arthur walked through the crowd with Merlin at the hand. Arthur wore his usual red cloak with the Pendragon emblem stitched on the chest, while Merlin wore a deep green cloak, one that would also be worn by the druids. To Arthur's relief that cloak completely covered his lover's body, showing no sign of the pregnancy. A wide smile was spread over Merlin's face as he watched the market stalls, the people and all the decorations. He could see how much Merlin enjoyed it and it lessened the worry Arthur held in his heart slightly.
Slightly, as he still feared something would happen or if someone noticed that Merlin was vulnerable. A shiver ran down his spine at the thought of someone hurting Merlin, he wouldn't even know what to do without his husband.
The people around them were all staring and bowing at the royal couple, many people admired Arthur and Merlin, knowing the improvement the kingdom had gone through after Arthur became king and Merlin became his husband.
Gwaine and Percival were not far behind them, their hands also entangled into each other's. They were as much in love as Merlin and Arthur were, Gwaine's head rested on the largest knight's shoulder as he was chatting happily at the silent knight.
'Can we watch there?' He was brought back from his thoughts as he heard Merlin's voice and he just realised that the raven was staring at him.
'What?'
'I asked if we could watch that stall.' Merlin said again as he rolled his eyes, but the warlock didn't wait for Arthur to answer as he pulled the blond with him.
'My lords.' The salesman said as he bowed deeply for the king and his lover. Arthur gave him a quick nod back before he watched the merchandise next to Merlin. The stall was filled with books, most of which were magical. A soft smile spread over the king's lips, knowing that just a few years ago this man would have been arrested and sentenced to death.
'Incredible... Arthur, you must see these.' Merlin said enthusiastically as he showed Arthur two books, both written in the old religion, which Arthur couldn't read so he just nodded at Merlin. 'I'm going to buy these, they would be a great addition for the students.' Merlin stated as he pulled out his pouch and handed the salesman the money.
The man smiled at the warlock. 'Shall I send them to the castle for you?'
'Please do so.' Merlin answered and it wasn't long before they walked through the crowd again. 'So is there something you want to do?'
Arthur shook his head. 'No, not really. I will just follow you.' He said kindly before he placed as soft kiss on Merlin's lips. 'Just make sure you enjoy yourself.'
Merlin nodded softly and he locked arms with Arthur. They walked further over the market, enjoying their time together and he could just see Merlin shine with joy.
But without warning a wave of chaos spread through the crowd, causing people to suddenly scream in panic and many started to run. There didn't seem to be a origin as the chaos came from all sides, creating even more panic.
People ran, pushing people to the side in order to get away from the 'danger'. It was also what happened to Arthur, people didn't care for status anymore and before he realised it he was pushed to the side, his hands still entangled with Merlin's, but he could feel the hand slowly slip from his own as the villagers ran past them.
It was then that he felt a sudden yank and he lost the raven's hand. In panic he scrambled forward, searching for his lover in the crowd and in the corner of his eyes he could see the green cloak disappear.
'Merlin!' He yelled through the chaos, but he didn't get an answer.

So what happened? Who created the chaos and where's Merlin? You just have to wait till the next chapter to hear the answer on that question. Yes, I know I'm evil with my cliffhanger ending, but oh well... Oh and the little song in the middle I made up myself, so sorry if it sucks. Please review and tell me what you thought of it.
