Our characters find out they are expecting a child together
Morgana rubbed her back in mild agitation, Gaius had requested her presence in his physician’s chambers- along with her husband. But he had been held back in one of her brothers’ meetings. Merlin was a high Lord of the Court of Camelot and did have responsibilities now- in stark contrast to how his life had began in the Kingdom. They had been happily wed for nearly four years, thanks to the ever persuasive Guinevere. Without the lovely woman, the Lady Morgana was sure that Arthur would have run the warlock through- when asking for her hand.
Lately she had been plagued by rather violent morning urges to vomit, the chamber pot was nearly always full by the time Merlin left for his duties. It was all rather disgusting to her, and the back ache never helped her mood. The Court Physician had requested some of her bodily fluids for ‘typical tests on your health’ he had said. But as she sat, the Lady Morgana couldn’t help but wonder if there was something a bit more to the story.
"Sorry I’m late!" Merlin called out as he bounded through the door, greeting his father figure with a kind smile, moving to envelop his wife with a kiss and hug. Morgana couldn’t help but smile into his lips, he was ever attentive to her. As Gaius cleared his throat, the couple parted to give him their full attention.
"As you know Morgana, I took some of your blood and urine to test for many different things…" the old man was cut off by his former aprentice.
"What things? I didn’t know about this, what-" the pale man looked back and forth between the two.
Morgana rolled her eyes, as the elderly man continued, “It was routine Merlin, poison, ailments and the like. That’s why I asked for the blood- you’re perfectly healthy." He stated- looking directly into her eyes. She gave him a small smile, placing a calming hand on her husband’s arm.
"However, I took the urine sample on a hunch." A smile grew on Gaius’s face that gave the Lady and Lord some mild confusion. “I tested it on a rabbit, and congratulations Merlin, my Lady- you are with child."
Morgana was sure that if she had not been sitting the world would have spun around her. It made sense, the morning illness, aching back… She let out a breathe she hadn’t known she was holding. There was a loud thunk to her immediate right. Gasping- Morgana’s green eyes found her husband’s prone form laying on the ground. “H-He fainted!" She laughed a little, but still quite shell shocked from the news as well.
"Merlin!" The old man shook the warlock by the shoulder’s. “It’s not time for fainting." Gauis said sternly and the Lady stifled a laugh long enough to place a hand on her stomach. A faint smile tugged at her lips. This would be interesting.
"You should have told me to sit down!" Merlin’s voice rung out in the background as her soft eyes settled on the little life inside of her. "Morgana? Morgana! Look she’s in shock!"
