When Merlin woke up there was a commotion happening all around him, people shouting and he was a little confused as he sat up on the sofa and saw Hunith running from Morgana and Leon's room to the little eat-in kitchen and then back to the bedroom. Merlin got up, a little concerned, but he walked slowly into the room to see Morgana sitting in the bed, Leon behind her holding her hair and she looked a little green in her face. Hunith was trying to give her water but she continued to refuse it. Merlin was confused, because it was less than six hours ago that they were sitting in the sitting room and Morgana was fine, so how did she get sick so quickly?

"How long has this been happening?"

"The last two weeks, steadily," Leon answered, even as Morgana grumbled in protest. "This is just the worse I've seen her."

"Are you pregnant?" said Hunith then, and Merlin looked over at her in alarm. However, from the bed Morgana was aggressively shaking her head.

"I'm on birth control."

"That doesn't mean you can't be pregnant."

"I'm not" argued Morgana, but Merlin already knew, he just had a feeling suddenly fall into his stomach. She was, wasn't she? It made perfect sense. She's seemed so tired lately and she was crying for no reason last night.

"I think you need to take a test," said Merlin, it was the first thing he had said and they all looked up at him as if they were surprised he was there. "You've looked really tired lately and if you've been sick-"

"Wow, thanks," retorted Morgana. Merlin felt a little bad for saying it, but it was true. It just seemed to make sense, Merlin didn't really know anything about pregnancies, but if he were a betting man, he was pretty sure. "I'll go buy it."

Hunith turned back and beamed at him. "Thank you, Merlin, yes please go ."

He smiled back at her, without saying anything he walked back out of the room and went to put on his shoes. He didn't know how he felt about Morgana being pregnant, he supposed it was better than the last Pendragon born. He left the room quickly and headed down the hall to the lift, and then outside of the hotel, to the the corner store that was next-door to the Inn. Merlin went into the store and found the woman's section pretty quickly, he picked up the first test he found and went to the checkout in record time. He was trying to be as quick as he could, not only because he knew Morgana would be a nervous wreck until he got back, but also they needed to checkout soon. The guy who cashed him out was eyeing him weird and he felt like he needed to explain himself for some reason. Who knew what this guy thought, It was seven in the morning and here Merlin was looking rather dissolved and buying a pregnancy test.

"It's not for me," he said dumbly, the guy shrugged.

"I really don't care, dude."

Merlin rushed out of the store then and went right back to the Inn. He impatiently waited for the lift and rushed back in side the room. He gave it to Morgana and she took it with trembling hands and walked slowly into the bathroom. No one said anything as they all waited for her to come back out. It seemed to be taking a long time and Merlin felt stressed, and this didn't have anything to do with him. Morgana came out of the bathroom and looked a little upset, the other three all looked at her as if she were an alien. She looked very stressed and pale indeed, as she finally spoke, "It will tell us in three minutes."

Twenty-three minutes later Morgana was aggressively crying as the other three were trying to checkout of the hotel room.

"My father is going to kill me for having a baby without being married first!" she announced as she was getting into the car now, she sat in the back and Leon drove this time, as she was too distracted to drive. Merlin sat shotgun, because Hunith kept having to console her. "It's not that I don't want a baby...just not right now, I don't want a baby bump on my wedding day. And...I've been drinking!"

"You're alright, Love, you only had a little wine," said Leon, but Merlin could tell he was absolutely beaming as he drove. He was apparently completely fine with having a baby. "And it's not like we're kids, we're getting married anyway, your father will understand."

"HAVE YOU MET THE MAN?!" Yelled back Morgana and then she was back to crying again. Merlin had to admit, Leon had no idea what it was like to be on Uther's bad side, but Merlin knew it very well. Morgana pulled out her phone then and started pressing buttons.

"What are you doing, Hun?" said Hunith and Morgana pushed tears from her cheeks as she hit a number to call.

"I'm calling Arthur, I have to tell him."

"He will be happy for you," said Hunith.

"It's not about being happy,-" there was a quiet then and Merlin could hear a mumbled voice from her phone, it made the hair on his arms stand and he didn't like being even remotely close to Arthur, even if it was in phone form. "Arthur," said Morgana, tears starting again. "No, I'm fine...he's fine, I just uh...I think I'm pregnant.-" there was a lull in the words Morgana said again and the tension was high. "I didn't want a baby now...I don't know what to do...Yes, she's right here...okay, hold on."

The speaker was turned on then and Merlin's stomach turned, he hadn't heard Arthur's voice in many years and he didn't think it was fair this was how he would hear it again, but he knew this wasn't about him, he just bit his lip and tried to melt into the nothingness.

"Hello, Honey," said Hunith into the phone. "Can you tell your sister to calm down, a baby is a gift, you know that."

"Yes," said the phone. "But is there a chance she's not pregnant?"

"We took a test this morning," said Morgana. "I've been sick all week. I just thought it was stress."

"I'm very certain she's really pregnant, of course she has to go to the doctor, but I am certain," said Huntih. "We all are."

"Fuck," said the phone. "You know how our father will react, he's a dumbass."

"I don't want to tell him yet," said Morgana. "Not until we're completely sure. "

"Don't, we're going golfing today so we won't be there all day anyway."

"When I do tell him will you be there?"

Arthur laughed, "Sure, and when he acts up I'll beat his ass. I mean shit, remember when I told him Gwen was pregnant? He tried to throw me out, he doesn't have the option with you, but knowing him his next thing will be getting cut out of the will."

Hunith sighed, "He will not do that."

"I don't need his dirty, old man money anyway," retorted Morgana, irritated.

"Listen," said the phone more causally. "Just relax, keep clam, you need to think of the baby now and don't keep freaking out. You know you'll be a good mother, even if it's too soon, it's not actually. Take it from me, this happened because it was meant to, Morgana. I know it's scary. It's fucking terrifying thinking about bringing a child into this world, but you beyond anyone can do this. If I can do it, you can ten times better."

"Thank you, Arthur," said Morgana. She hung up with him after that and it seemed as if this conversation really helped her, however it stabbed Merlin repeatedly in the chest, every word he said was like a stab, but again...he knew this wasn't about him.

(A/N: Hello again, I took a few days off from updating mostly because I felt this was another good place to pause for some time, feel everything out. The other reason, was I was super sick, I still am a little, but it's better. I wanted to possibly pause writing this story and start working on other things. This wouldn't affect updating this, because as of total rn, I have about 18 chapters written, and I had started two other stories, one right before I got sick and one kind of during or like kind of after, but I mean, I'm still sick just not Delusional from fevers, none of this makes sense so maybe I still am? Lol, what I am trying to say is I literally wrote a little of both of those, and then went back to this, I really want to post a new story though, I just don't know about what. I just want something that really gives me joy to write like this. Trust me, there are some great chapters coming for this story, full of drama. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this update, I wasn't completely sure how I felt about the reveal of Morgana being pregnant, but upon second read I kind of enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and goodbye! EDIT: I saw a mistake right as I was about to post this, honestly I have no will to go through this again, if anyone see's anything just let me know and I will go in and fix it, thanks!)
