GreenElf47 - Thank You! The name Amhar comes from the Legend - one of the sons of Arthur, the others being Gwydre and LLacheu!
Guest - Thanks for pointing it out! Been sorted!
For all those who thought the story line was ooc, it gets even more so in this chapter! Enjoy!
I don't own Merlin! :-(
Eventually, a whole month after Arthur's suggestion, Merlin and Morgana were preparing to get married. It had come as a shock particularly to Arthur and Morgause as they were some of the main witnesses on Morgana's change in behaviour. Morgana had become more humble, most likely because of Gwen and Merlin's influence. In addition, as he had let Mordred stay, Arthur was now in Morgana's good books. One thing the citizens of Camelot had noticed was that Uther was willing to attend his daughter's wedding. Although Arthur claimed not to know why their father had decided to go, he did know the exact reason.
It had been an hour since Morgana had announced her engagement and Uther was nowhere to be found. Arthur decided he would go and talk to him. As he walked towards his parents chambers, Arthur could hear voices.
"Morgana is your DAUGHTER!" His mother's voice shouted, since her return, Ygraine had taken both Morgana and Morgause under her wing and treated them like her own children.
"I do not care; I will not attend her wedding, her wedding to an … idiot!"
"Come on Uther, you are behaving like a child. Merlin and Morgana are good for each other. Besides, it means Morgana will stay in Camelot, you can keep an eye on her." For a while there was silence until Uther spoke, his voice a lot quieter.
"If she remains in Camelot, she will follow my orders." Arthur heard Ygraine sigh.
"This is Arthur's Kingdom now, she'll just follow Arthur's laws, just, be her Father."
Finally, Merlin was getting ready for his wedding, which would be taking place at mid-afternoon. He was still in his old bedroom at Gaius'. As he finished putting his robes on he heard the door open, and assumed it would be either Gaius or Arthur.
"What do you think?" He asked, his back turned to the person.
"Well, I can only see your back, but I'd say you look alright." A woman's voice said, causing Merlin to spin around and come face to face with Morgause.
"You thought I was Gaius?" She asked, slightly amused. Merlin nodded.
"Is everything okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I just came to tell you something, Arthur wanted to do it but I don't think it would work. If you hurt Morgana, you will have both myself and Arthur to deal with; but we won't be needed, will we?" She asked chirpily.
"No!" He replied hurriedly.
"Good." She said, and then walked out of the door. Merlin was slightly stunned, had he just been threatened by Morgause? Not that it was the first time, but recently.

Morgana was also in her old chambers getting ready, along with the help of Gwen. It was almost like old times. Morgause had been there until a few minutes previously, when she had announced that she needed to go and talk to someone.
"Who do you think she's gone to see?" Morgana asked.
"No idea." Gwen replied, lying through her teeth. Gwen knew exactly where Morgause had gone, but had been instructed not to tell Morgana, for fear she would lose it.
After another five minutes, Morgause returned and smiled at her younger sister.
"Was he okay?" Gwen mouthed and Morgause nodded.
"Who did you see?" Morgana asked, turning to get a mirror.
"I went to see … Leon!" Morgana smiled.
"You two have been spending a lot of time together recently. I'm glad." Morgause frowned, then realised what her sister was suggesting.
"Oh, no, nothing like that!"
"Whatever you say, sister. Whatever you say."

The wedding went without a hitch. Morgana looked happier than most people expected.
"I know it's your wedding, but why are you so happy?" Gwen asked her.
"Do not take this the wrong way, but I'm glad I am no longer a Pendragon. Apart from blood there is nothing I now share with Uther." Morgana took her nephew out of Gwen's arms and walked around with him. Arthur came up behind his wife and put his arms around her waist.
"We could make a run for it, Amhar's distracted!" Gwen giggled.
"Do you reckon that's an image we'll be seeing soon?" Gwen asked, nodding at Morgana and Amhar.
"For Merlin's sake, I hope not," Gwen raised her eyebrows in question and Arthur continued.
"He'll have both Morgause and I to deal with then."
Hope everyone liked the chapter, also, quick check, what do people think of Leon and Morgause?
In addition, those in the UK, Merlin's on tonight! BBC 3! ;-)
