Free World (Closed)

I nodded in agreement as he held Scarlet in his arms. Despite the plan, he knew this was still very dangerous, "I know you want to this peacefully, but don't expect that when his men come for us when we kill... can we atleast have him come hear in the morning?"
 
Scarlet looked at him and smiled, her hand on his cheak and she nodded "Yes, everything will be alright, you will see" She said softly, not wanting to hurt Arthur or upset him. She would die before doing anything horrible to him.
 
Despite Scarlet's words, Arthur was still worried of the things to come. He wish he could see her optimism, but the fact was that the Prince was a vindictive man for if he were to die, he would not go down easily. Arthur sat back down on his throne contemplating the evens that would come to pass.
 
She smiled and had an idea, looking at her king she placed her hand on his "I have an idea you may like" She said simply. She spoke only so Arthur could hear. "Have some of your guards dress like a commner, its easy to hide a sword, you could have some archers as well. " Scarlet smiled, thinking it would be stupid to think she can do this on her own.
 
Even though he idea was good, it still didn't take away Arthur's concerns. Despite it all he agreed to it, he would have a few guard disguise themselves in case things turned for the worse. The sun was lowering as Arthur had enough of talking about killing for one day as he left the chamber to his study.
 
She watched him, it was almost like he was upset with her so she did not follow right away. Scarlet took her time walking down the hall, looking outside as many things were going on. She didn't know if he wanted her or not, this whole day was a disaster.
 
He played that faithful day in his head every time he was in his study. It was New Years day, they had put on a tournament to decide who would become the new king. Arthur was the squire of one of the Regent's son, Cade. He was an arrogant brute with now honor much less anything to qualify him as a king. Arthur had everything for Cade to go, all except a sword. His heart dropped as he race back to the inn where they stayed, Scarlet following him as he did. When he got there, the inn was locked. They had all gone to the tournament.

Arthur felt like he failed, think he would be sent away for his stupidity. He covered his face from Scarlet, trying to keep himself from crying. It was then that Scarlet pointed something out in the town square. It was a sword trapped within a stone. A leap of hope came over Arthur as he ran to hit, it covered in moss and vines as if it hadn't been used in ages. With even thinking he tried to pull it out, a strange feeling coming over him as he touched it. He looked at Scarlet, and back to the sword. He might have left it alone at one time, but he needed a sword as so he pulled it out with ease as Scarlet and him raced back to the tournament, the rest was history.

Part of him missed being a young boy, only having to worry about chores rather than the fate of thousands of people much less the well being of his soon to be family. He wished Merlin was here, but most of all he wish Scarlet was here by his side.
 
She walked into his study and saw the look on his face, she knew he was thinking. Heavy duty thinking, she walked up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. Squeezing his shoulder lovingly, when she looked into his eyes she smiled.

"Penny for your thoughts Arthur?" She said sweetly

Scarlet was very worried about him, she was just making everything worse.

"Seems like i'm more hassle then i'm worth"
 
Arthur smiled at Scarlet's words, his hand on her as he sat. "So was I if you remember" he replied. He thought about the times when he was little, how he would get in trouble for so little thing in his life. "I was just thinking about that day... when I pulled the sword out. Neither of us even knew what it was, I just took it because I needed a sword to give to Cade. Now I'm the king." He pulled Scarlet to his lap, "You and Merlin were the only ones who ever saw anything worthwhile in me, and with him gone I'm afraid of losing you".
 
She smiled looking at him "Arthur you wont lose me or your child I promise, I am scared as much as you are" She said sweetly "Thats why I am always extra careful with everything I do, I may sound like its not a big deal, but its because I am trying to give you courage in my own way. I will be queen and will give you a few children, we both will die of old age"
 
Arthur smiled at Scarlet's words. While the thought of her being his queen and bearing him children was wonderful, the way she said was was quite odd "That was very blunt of you" he joked at her laundry list like tone of voice. She always did have a way of giving him strength making him put down his barriers and be himself. "But we have time before we have to worry about old age", he put his hand on her stomach, feeling the baby kick "Have you decided on a name?" he asked.
 
She shook her head "This is our child, you have a say in his name as well you know" She rested her hand on her stomach feeling there child stir. "I want to name him together, that and i'm not very good with names. Since he is our future" She said sweetly, moving into him she kissed him lovingly. "Do you have any name ideas Arthur?"
 
He shook his head. His forehead leaning on her's as she sat on his lap. He couldn't think of a name in all honestly and at least hoped Scarlet would have had some ideas. "I guess we'll just have to cross that bridge when we get there" he replied"doesn't matter though, I'll love them all the same". He kissed her softly on the lips, it was always something that seemed to lifted him. "Perhaps we should go eat something.... it is getting pretty late after all."
 
Looking into his eyes she began to think of names, there foreheads touching each others. It was a magical time, her eyes closed when she felt his lips onto her own. But when he mentioned dinner she smiled. "Sounds good, since i'm eating for two i'm talking for two" Scarlet giggled.
 
He led Scarlet to the dining hall. Dinner was already set as the vast array of food spanned the entire table. Two servant came to retrieve food for both Scarlet and Arthur as they went to sit next to one another. There didn't seem to be any question about Scarlet's condition let alone who the father. They knew that she and Arthur had know one another for years and so it was inevitable for them to be together. This however was not know to the commoners, as they were still warming up to her what with being a witch and all. It did however help that her father was once a well respected man. Arthur held her hand under the table smiling as the food came. "You look very beautiful" he said softly to her.
 
Scarlet smiled, the smell of food made her mouth water just about. When she felt his hand on hers, she was even more content. Things happen for a reason, her father would always say, who knows maybe her father was right. "And you look very handsome Arthur" She said blushing a little bit, she was beyond happy.
 
As we began to eat, one of his men came to the table. He began to whisper in his ear, telling him that they would ready for tomorrow in case anything went wrong. Arthur nodded and so the soldier left, letting Scarlet and him finish their meal. He turned to her, his hand still on her's as he spoke "everything is prepared for tomorrow, my love. All we must do now is wait".
 
Scarlet watched as a man came to Arthur's side, she didn't know what was whispered but then Arthur spoke to her, when he said his men were ready she nodded. "It will be fine, I promise" There son kicked her again, but she laughed, he tickled her. It was funny how once in a blue moon the baby tickled her, it was where he was kicking. "It's a good thing I don't have much longer to weight to give birth to our son, he is feisty just like his daddy" Scarlet smiled.
 
The dining hall was dieing down until it was just a few guard with Scarlet and Arthur. It was now that they felt more comfortable to show to affection to one another as the guard we more than aware of their kings love life. They could hear them in their bedroom as they guarded at night, no one was that deaf. Arthur's hand felt her stomach as then moved up to her breast, almost amazed at how large they were. "Perhaps we should retire to the bedroom and I can show you how feisty I am" he said.
 
Listing to Arthur made her really happy, when he placed his hand on her stomach. But then when, his hand went to her breast she winched in pleasure. Her smile grew to a grin and giggled some.

"Sounds good, my feisty one" She murmured.
 
Before they knew it, they were locked inside their bed chamber in the throws of passion. Arthur's lips locked on Scarlet's as he laid her on the bed. His hand moving under to fell her thigh. He wanted to forget about what would happen tomorrow all he wanted was to be with Scarlet and be reminded of why he loved her.
 
Scarlet moaned as he touched her, now that she was pregnant her body was even more sensitive. There passion never faded no matter how many times they were together. Each time was different, each time was wonderful, she still couldn't believe she was making love to a man she has loved since they were children.
 
Their lips never loosened as their clothes slipped off. Scarlet's gown proved to be some trouble due to her pregnancy, but soon enough she was naked as Arthur was. Both of them going under the covers as his hand began to massage her breast, knowing that they must have been sore for quite some time. He began to position himself on top of her, letting himself ease his way inside her.
 
Her hand never left his cheek as they kissed, moving best she could to help him undress her. It was hard being pregnant, but she would never regret it. She moaned as she felt his hand on her breast, but he wasn't hurting her. He always knew how to make her feel better, she enjoyed being in his embrace and never wanted him to let go. But she never wanted to let him go as well.
 
He towered over her as they made love. Thrusting himself into her as his hands ran from her waist to her stomach. His eyes filled with such desire and love for Scarlet as he continued to feel the warm inward of her femininity. "Scarlet..." he uttered as he leaned in to kiss her, "you feel so... heavenly. As if we are making love for the first time".
