DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT WANTING TO 'ENHANCE MY STORY WITH ARTWORK!' BECAUSE I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THAT! THANK YOU
"Morgana! I'm Home!" It had been 6 months since the miscarriage. "Hey." I said, with a smile. "How are you feeling?" "I'm okay... But... Can we talk?" "Of course." He sat his cloak on the table, before coming over to me. "What's going on?" I sat on the bed, patting the spot next to me. "Are you alright? You are making me nervous." I said "Oh. Gosh! I did not mean for you to be made nervous! I just... I was at Gaius's today..." "Okay, now I'm growing more nervous." Merlin said, placing a hand on my knee. "Please. Tell me." Merlin whispered. "Okay... Well... I have been feeling so poorly, and this morning I realized I was late... so that's what prompted me to go. But don't worry I'm okay... and so is the baby..."
"What baby?" He asked. "I'm pregnant." "Darling..." We made love a month after the miscarriage. "How far along?" Merlin asked. "About 5 months along... I hadn't really noticed any symptom till maybe the last week..." "Did Gaius say why that was?" He asked. "He thinks because I might've been still grieving, my body somehow mistook all the symptoms of pregnancy as grief..." Merlin said "Interesting. But Honesty time. How are you feeling?" "Honestly feeling really good. I'm kind of glad I missed months of Nausea this time." I replied.
He kissed my head lovingly. "I love you." He lowered his head and kissed my belly. "And I love you." "We love you too." I replied. "Merlin! Morgana!" Arthur said, pounding on our door. Merlin said "Come in!" Merlin turned to the door, as Arthur came in. "Morgana, go. Get out of here. Meet Gwen by the stables." I didn't dare disobey, I followed his instructions and met Gwen and all the women. "What's happening?" I asked Gwen, who looked worried, and had a hand on her small baby bump. She was 7 months along in her pregnancy. "There was a fire." Was all she said. But I noticed something unusual, and said "Get out of here..."
'Merlin, We're in trouble... I saw something in the sky, and it tried to burn us... I think whatever it is, is targeting me...' 'Are you sure? Did you see what it was?' 'It looked like something I haven't seen!' 'Alright, calm down my love. I'm on my way I think I know what happened... Go hide in the stables. I'll find you.' I obeyed. I wasn't sure how long it was, but finally Merlin came over to me. "Hey, it's okay... It's me." I heard Merlin say, as he approached. "It's as I suspected. I chased her off for now, but she'll be back." "Merlin don't lie to me. What's happening?" I asked, as he held me. "Let's talk in our chambers." When we arrived in our chambers, he shut the door and said "Does the name Morgause mean anything to you?" I said "My... half-sister. But why? What does that have to do with anything?!" He said "I feared as much... Honey, I need you to listen to me... Can you do that?" I nodded.
"Okay. So Morgause wants to attack you... to try and get you to turn evil..." I was shocked, but didn't say anything. "I will not let that happen, at all, Okay? You are my wife, and I will do everything in my powers to make sure you are protected, and the baby." I said "But..." He said "No buts, okay? Will you trust me?" I nodded, as he said "Good. Now... I do not want you to leave the insides of the castle, without the knights or myself." I nodded and said "I know it's to keep us safe." He said "Thank you. Now, why don't you go get ready for bed, take as long as you need. Have you eaten?" I shook my head. "I'll go get something for us to eat, or I can use my magic to make something for us." I smiled, gratefully. "Thank you." I undressed and went to the washroom attached to my suite.
When I exited the room, I wore my simple nightdress and went to sit on the bed. "Feeling better love? You look like you feel more relaxed." Merlin commented as we sat on the couch. "I am, and I'm starving..." Merlin chuckled affectionately. "Eat up. Arthur isn't happy that we aren't eating with them, but I assured him you just caught a chill, and just wanted to rest, and not risk passing anything on to him or Gwen." I smiled, and whispered "Thank you." We ate quietly, before I said "I love you." Merlin smiled and kissed my lips, which I gladly returned. "Now go lie down my love. I'll take the dishes out." I nodded, as I curled up in bed. I heard the door opened, before I felt a pair of arms slide around me from behind me. "mmmmm. Hi." I moaned, rolling over and snuggling into his chest. "Hi." He whispered as he held me close, which is when I fell asleep.
In the morning, I woke up, to an empty bed. "Merlin?" I called but got no answer. "MERLIN!?" I shouted. I got up but got incredibly weak and lightheaded, so I collapsed, hitting my head. 'Merlin!? I need you' 'I'm sorry honey, I was trying to get back, before you woke.' 'MORGANA?!' I must've passed out, cause when I woke, I was back in bed, with a cloth on my forehead. "Morgana? Love? Are you awake?" I tried to move my eyes, so I could look to see him. "I know your awake." He whispered, and moved so he could sit in front of my eyes. "Hey. Are you Okay?" I said "No. My head is killing..." "I'm not surprised. The way I found you, it told me you hit your head. Gaius gave you a head to toe checkup, but nothing's broken, and I can hear and feel the baby's heart, so he or she is fine. All you have is a slight concussion. But apart from the headache how do you feel?" I said "hungry." He chuckled, and said "Good, because here is some food, but first..." He helped me sit up, before sitting the food on my lap. "Eat up, darling." I started eating, every bit. "Good. Now I want you to stay in bed today, and rest. I've got to work with Arthur today, but don't hesitate to call me in mind if you need me." I nodded as he kissed me gently. He left, and Gwen entered. "Hey. How are you feeling dear sister?" I said "I'm alright, Did Merlin ask you to stay with me today?" "Yes, and every day he and Arthur are off doing stuff. Does that make you feel any better?" She said with a smile, and I said "A little..."
The morning passed slowly, being stuck in bed was no fun. 'Morgana? Are you doing alright?' 'Come rescue me! I'm bored!' 'I'm on my way, with lunch. I'll figure something out to make your afternoon more fun.' I smiled as Gwen said "What are you all smiles about?" I cleared my throat and said "Nothing. Nothing at all..." "I'm sure." She said, teasingly. "Where's our girls?" Merlin and Arthur said as they entered. "Right where you left us..." I muttered under my breath. "What's wrong sister?" Arthur asked as Merlin sat where Gwen had sat all morning setting the food next to me, "I want to get up and move around! I'm sick and tired of just sitting here!" Merlin said "Honey, you hit your head last night... and with Baby on board... I don't want to take any chance of you to risk falling again..." Arthur chuckled and said "I agree with Merlin, honestly..." I nodded, looking down, as I picked up the food and taking bites of food. "Also What baby?" Arthur asked, sitting with us, eating. "I'm not really wanting to tell everyone as of yet... But, I'm pregnant." I felt Merlin squeeze my hand. Arthur said "Wow, Congratulations dear sister. I'm so happy for you both!" Him and Gwen answered, as we finished eating lunch. "Alright, so I brought some stuff for you both to do, hopefully it will keep you both busy enough till tonight. Gwen, thank you for staying with her today. I know you are queen technically, and probably have a lot more important things to do, but I appreciate it." Merlin said, before he kissed my head, "Oh Please! I'm happy to be here, spending girl time with my sister." I smiled at that. The afternoon, while we did kept us occupied, but I still ended up board as hell.
Merlin and Arthur came in with dinner. "Dinnertime ladies." I heard Merlin say, causing my eyes to light up. "About time. She was about to eat the blanket, cause she's that hungry." Merlin smirked to me. "Here, try this... It will taste so much better." He hid a chuckle under his breath. Arthur said "We'll give you too some privacy. Gwen?" She got up giving me a hug before leaving, before leaving with Arthur. Merlin sat with me as we started eating. "How are you feeling?" He asked, as I said "Honestly, pretty crappy..." "I've already asked Gaius to come take a look. I couldn't help but notice you looked weak and dizzy at lunch." "You're the best husband in the entire world." I grinned. "Just trying to take care of you and our sweet baby." He replied.
"Merlin! Morgana!" Gaius's voice called. "It's open Gaius." Merlin called as the door opened and Gaius came over to me. "I'll draw her a bath, if it's alright. I'll be back soon." He kissed my head before leaving while Gaius did the exam. "Aright. Well, I say you are a little dehydrated which could explain your dizziness, and weakness, but nothing too serious. Just increase your fluids, and you should be fine." "Thank you." I smiled, as Merlin came over and said "Thanks Gaius." After a quick bath, I snuggled into Merlin's chest, fast asleep.
"NO!" I woke up screaming, and in a cold sweat. "Morgana?" I heard Merlin's voice say, as he sat up placing a hand on my back. "Don't touch me!" I screamed in terror. "Morgana, this is me... What's wrong honey?" He asked, as I shoved his arms off of me, or rather tried, because his arms tightened around me. "Talk to me, Morgana. What did you dream?" "Morgause is planning on attacking..." I whispered. "Honey, Relax sweetheart. We'll handle it together." He soothed. "Thank you so much." I yawned. "Try and sleep now." He whispered, sweetly, as he pulled me back down to his chest, where I fell asleep peacefully.
I woke up just as the sun light peeked through the window. "Ugh. Merlin. Can you turn down the light?!" I groaned pressing my face deeper into his shoulder. "On it my dear." He whispered, before it started raining. "Thank you." I mumbled, "Of course, my darling, are you okay? You never ask for me to use magic to make it rain..." I said "I'm fine... I..." "Don't lie to me my love... Talk to me..." He whispered. "I am just tired this morning. That's all." I whispered. "Then go back to sleep my love and sleep all day if you wish. But I will have to go and work with Arthur today..." I groaned rolling to my side, as he tucked me into the bed, with a kiss on my head, and one of his shirts near me. "Hopefully just something with my scent being near you will help soothe you if you need it, and if it doesn't just call for me in your mind." I smiled, and said "Thank you." He smiled, as I snuggled into the bed.
I don't know how long I slept for, but I heard Merlin enter the room. "Morgana my love. Are you up love?" I looked to him. "Yes love." "Are you feeling better?" I nodded and said "Much. Thank you for letting me get some sleep today... I don't know why I was so tired." He chuckled fondly before he said "Well you are growing a tiny human inside you, that takes up a lot of energy. Arthur might not be happy with you, but I 100% am. I need you to take care of you, and our growing baby. You leave Arthur to me. Okay?" I smiled wide. "Thank you, Merlin." "Of course." He kissed me gently, and I said "I'm getting hungry." "Good, because its almost dinner time, so do you want me to try and fetch one of the servants to help you dress?" I said "I'll be okay, I think. Thanks though..." Merlin said "Of course, my love." We quickly got dressed, okay well Merlin was quicker than me, I was struggling with my dress. "Merlinnnnnnnn!" I said, helplessly causing him to come over, with a small smile. "Need my help?" He asked. I blushed and said "Yes please... I can't reach the buttons..." He chuckled affectionately, before helping me with the rest of the fastening of my dress. "There." I spun around, with a smile. "Beautiful. And look here... A gorgeous baby bump, on my even more gorgeous wife." I blushed red. "Merlin.* "What? It's true." He replied, kissing my head. "Thank you." We went to dinner with Arthur and Gwen, we didn't really talk much, which was fine, I was getting a headache as it was.
"Morgana, are you alright?" Arthur asked, which caused Merlin to look to me. "Darling?" I said "I'm... fine..." "Maybe take a sip of wine to ease whatever's going on?" Arthur offered, as Merlin said "She's off wine right now." "She's not pregnant, is she?" "I am... " I replied. "Oh gosh. Okay, so definitely no wine." Arthur said removing my wine glass. "If it's aright, I'm still not feeling to well... I'm going to lie down." Merlin said "Of course darling, go on." I smiled, a little but Arthur said "But we never see you! Please don't go yet." I smiled a little. "Well... Maybe I can stay for a little bit longer." Merlin and I ended up staying well into the night, long past the time I was thinking. "Looks like someone's getting tired." I heard Merlin say, to Arthur. "I think so. But so do you." I felt Merlin look down to me, and chuckled. "I guess we better get them to bed." I heard Merlin say as he lifted me up. I snuggled into his arms.
In the morning I woke up and looked around confused. "Merlin?" I asked, as I felt his arms tighten around me. "Shh. I'm here. Are you okay?" I nodded, and said "I think so..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I promise." We got dressed, him helping me again. "I think we should look into hiring you a maid, like Gwen was..." I said "I think so too... I'm sorry, for lately refusing... I just haven't been wanting to replace her yet..." "I know darling." He whispered, kissing my head. "I know your style, well. How about you and Gwen take Gwain, and Leon to town, and I'll tackle the interviews with Arthur?" I said "I'm fine with Leon. Not Gwain." Merlin frowned. "Why has he done something?" I started to cry. "A week, after our first baby was conceived... Gwain... He... He..." Merlin's eyes met mine. "Did he force you?" He asked softly, as I nodded, tears in my eyes, which he quickly wiped away. "Did you tell anyone else?" I shook my head. "Alright. Don't worry. But I have to tell Arthur... But He's one of the ones Gwen feels comfortable with, any chance you can tough it out for me?" I said "I refuse!" "Okay, Okay. You can choose one other, knight you feel safe with." I said "I'll just stay on castle grounds. The only knight I feel safe around besides Leon is Lancelot, and well he's not here." Merlin frowned, and said "I'm sorry, darling." I went with Gwen, but Gwen stepped away with Leon, leaving me with Gwain. He pulled me to an abandoned building, even though I tried to fight him off.
'Merlin! I need you... Tell Arthur, what happened with Gwaine...' 'Why what happened?!' 'He just raped me... Gwen took Leon...' 'Oh my freaking God.' I knocked him out, running to the castle in tears. "Morgana." Arthur said as he came over. "Where the hell is Merlin?!" "Morgana sweetie?" Merlin's arms said as he wrapped his arms around me. Arthur said "What happened!?" I leaned closer to Merlin who said "Gwaine raped her. Twice." "I don't believe you! He would never!" Arthur said, as I pulled away, running to my bedroom, slamming the door, using my magic to lock the door, and threw myself on the bed, sobbing. I heard the door unlock and felt a hand on my back. "Morgana..." Merlin's voice, as he wrapped his arms around me as he pulled me on to his lap. "Hush sweetie. It's okay. I'm here." He whispered.
"Arthur wants proof, so what we're going to do is... We're going to hide, Arthur and me behind that door..." He pointed. "No one will know but you. Gwaine will think your alone..." I said "I'm not comfortable, with it." Merlin said "I know... Please... I won't let him get that far." That night, they hid, and Gwain tried to rape me but Merlin intervened, Arthur came out and said "I'm sorry I didn't believe you." Arthur then turned to Gwaine and dragged him out. Merlin wrapped his arms around me tightly, kissing my head. "It's okay. You're okay. I love you so much" He whispered, as he calmed me, shutting the door and locking it with his magic. He laid down with me in his arms tightly humming softly to me, soothing me right to sleep, as I snuggled even closer to him.
