Considering the feedback, I decided to post a chapter today also!

I DO NOT OWN MERLIN!

Oh, and - did you find my storyline notebook because that's a similar description of what I had planned!


A few months passed, and Gwen's words had been true; now Amhar knew who his father was. Also, after a week or two and many conversations with Arthur and Gwen, Merlin had finished his thinking and was now in a relationship with Morgana, although they were still slightly awkward around each other.

One day, Morgana waked into Merlin's chambers with a smile on her face.

"You look happy!" Merlin said, kissing her cheek. She nodded.

"I am." Her grin disappeared. "Though I don't think you will be."

"Morgana, what's happened?" He asked, sounding concerned, she wasn't pregnant was she? No, that wasn't possible.

"Mordred's back." Merlin froze. Mordred had been the cause of Arthur's death, so he would get punished, on the other hand, Morgana loved Mordred like a son and was extremely protective of him. If Merlin and Morgana's relationship needed a test, this would be it.

"Where is he now?" Merlin asked.

"In my chambers, come on." She grabbed his hand and walked towards her chambers at a fast pace. Surprisingly (and annoyingly) the only person they passed was Gwaine, who raised his eyebrows at them but thankfully said nothing.

Eventually, they reached Morgana's chambers. She opened the door and led him inside. Not only was Mordred sat at the table, but so was Kara, Mordred's old love. Merlin sighed – what had he gotten himself into this time?

"Hello Emrys." Mordred said, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hi Mordred, I know I'm probably the last person you want to see today." Mordred nodded in agreement.

"We need to think of what we should do." Morgana said, trying to ease the tension.

"Why do we not just inform Arthur, or Gwen, then at least you won't be sneaking around?"

"Tell them? Merlin, Arthur would sentence Mordred to death and you know it." Merlin internally wondered what would happen if someone walked in right now. They would probably all get executed for treason.

"Morgana, I really don't think this is a good idea. There could be a possibility that Arthur lets Mordred off, I mean, you forgave me."

"That's different. I can't see Arthur going into a relationship with Mordred." Well, that was very true.

"Morgana, let me speak with Gwen, she – "

"NO! She has the same power as Arthur, she'll kill them too!" Morgana's voice had resorted to pleading.

"Can I not have a say?" Mordred's voice then asked.

####

"Right, let's start, no, first, where is everyone?" Arthur asked. For his VERY important meeting of the Round Table, the only attendees were Gwaine and Leon.

"Wasn't Elyan going to look after Amhar so that you and Gwen got the day off?" Leon said and Arthur nodded.

"That's right, and Guinevere was going to go and visit Morgana."

"Was she?" Gwaine blurted out, surprised.

"Yes, why?"

"Oh, I saw Morgana with Merlin earlier. She didn't look like she was going to visit Gwen." Arthur stared at him for a minute before realising what Gwaine was suggesting and standing up.

"Are you okay?" Leon asked.

"They are not doing anything like that until they are married." Arthur stated angrily, and then walked out of the room.

"Well, I have the feeling he's going to walk in on something he doesn't like." Gwaine told Leon who smirked.

Arthur walked up to Morgana's door and put his ear against it.

"Look, I think we should just go and tell Arthur, he'll be mad at first but he'll get over it." That was Merlin's voice.

"No Merlin, this is our secret, we can't involve Arthur or Gwen." Morgana's voice replied.

"Look, if we tell everyone now it won't lead to awkward questions in the future. We need to think about the long-run here."

"I disagree. I think if anyone finds out the whole thing will become extremely complex." Arthur couldn't stand it any longer he opened the door and asked/yelled:

"Morgana, are you pregnant?" Arthur then noticed the environment that he was in. Merlin was stood opposite to Morgana, who was currently glaring at him, adjacent to Merlin was Mordred and Mordred's old girlfriend, Kara. Arthur realised that he had completely misunderstood the conversation. This was a far bigger problem.

"WHAT?" Morgana yelled at her brother, clearly angry.

"Forget that, what are THEY doing HERE?" He asked, pointing at Mordred.

"They've just come back, like you and I did, Arthur." Morgana had now placed herself inbetween her brother and the person she considered a son. Merlin and Arthur knew this was going to be difficult.

"Morgana, she tried to kill me, and he did kill me."

"I tried to kill you, and Merlin killed me, but we all get on."

"That's different."

"Tell me, dear brother, how?" There was a pause due to the fact that Arthur was at a loss on how to answer.

"Tell you what, Morgana; I'll give you two days to get them out of Camelot. I'm being kind." She shook her head.

"No, Arthur, please. Mordred and Kara are like me, they've changed. You know I would never hurt you now." Arthur looked troubled. Whilst now Morgana would never hurt him, Mordred had killed him. He would never be able to completely trust him; then again, Morgana's good influence might help. Finally, Arthur made his decision.

"Mordred, Kara, you may stay in Camelot, I will make the announcement tomorrow and for the first few months you will be under supervision and will not be allowed to go anywhere alone." Mordred nodded.

"I understand, I would do the same thing." Arthur smiled, and then turned to leave. Before he could reach the door, Morgana called him.

"Arthur, why did you think I was pregnant?"

"Oh, because of a mix between something Gwaine said and then me listening at your door." Morgana narrowed her eyes.

"As your older brother, I forbid you to do anything until you're married."

"You can't stop me."

"I'll get Father on your case if anything happens, before you're married anyway." Morgana's comeback was thwarted by the mention of Uther, who she had managed to avoid since her return to Camelot.

"Married?" Merlin asked and Arthur nodded.

"You sound horrified, Merlin."

"You and I would be related." Arthur's grin faultered,

"Good point."
