5 January 2003 - Again?!

Written by Nessa and Tegan

Gwen

Gwen stared at the stick in her hands, almost in disbelief. She couldn't believe she was pregnant again. Well, then she couldn't believe that she didn't believe she was. After all, Mordred and her did have sex a lot. More than the average couple probably. So it shouldn't be surprising to discover she was pregnant.

Never the less, rationalising aside, she was surprised. She was almost nervous about telling Mordred, then she decided to get over it, and just tell him.

Gwen got up and threw the stick out, washed her hands, and went and found Mordred.

"Mmmm... I have some... good/bad news."


Mordred

"Good and bad news..." Mordred said.

He leant up and kissed her, placing a bookmark in the paperback he was reading.

"Should I run for the hills?"


Gwen

"Well, you could run, but porting would be easier."

Gwen smiled and kissed him back.

"Well... I'm pregnant again."


Mordred

Mordred blinked.

"Say what?"


Gwen

"Yeah, that was my reaction."

Gwen paused.

"When it's really not that surprising."


Mordred

"S'pose..."

Mordred drew her down into his lap.

"So. Preggers."


Gwen

"Yeah, puts a dampener on things, doesn't it?"

Gwen kissed his head.


Mordred

"I like kids," Mordred said.

"Just didn't think I'd have four of them before my 21st."


Gwen

"Yeah, I didn't think I'd have them... well... ever."

Gwen hopped off his lap and went and looked in the mirror, fixing her hair up.


MOrdred

"Why not ever?" Mordred asked.

"You would have figured out how to control the electricty, I think."


Gwen

"Maybe."

Gwen shrugged.

"Well the plan was to steal stuff. Live alone. You know..."


Mordred

"Never had a plan, really," Mordred said.

"Get married, have kids, get a job..."


Gwen

"Well, you have the first two down."

Gwen turned away from the mirror and smiled at him.

"So that's a plus."

She paused.

"Hmmm, I vote going back to Middle Earth for the pregnancy. Come back and give birth here."


Mordred

"Very good thought," Mordred said.

"No one's hunting for us in Middle Earth."


Gwen

"Yep."

Gwen smiled.

"Plus I want to see Merry and everyone again."


Mordred

"Yeah."

Mordred smiled.

"Wonder if Sam's married Rosie yet."


Gwen

"Dear Roooosiieeee," Gwen sang, imitating Pippin perfectly.

"Probably has."


Mordred

"Wonder if the other hobbits have married?" Mordred mused.

"We can find out."


Gwen

"I wonder if they've gone to the undying lands yet," Gwen said thoughtfully.


Mordred

"If they have, we'll go see them," Mordred said.

"If we can swing it."


Gwen

"Well, technically we're not meant to go there."

Gwen smiled.

"But we've never been people for rules."

She paused.

"So, do we take Spike and Vort again?"


Mordred

"If they want to come," Mordred said.

"They probably will."

He ran his fingers through her hair affectionately.


Gwen

"Mmmm."

Gwen closed her eyes.

"Can't wait to see them all again..."


Mordred

"It'll be good."

Mordred kissed her forehead gently.


Gwen

Gwen smiled.

"So... when and how?"


Mordred

"When we figure out the how," Mordred said.


Gwen

"How very clever."

Gwen smiled, and then let out a giggle.


Mordred

"What are you laughing about?" Mordred asked.


Gwen

"You were so glad to get away from the laces on the clothes in Middle Earth and now we're going back."

Gwen grinned.


Mordred

"Bugger it, I'll just wear jeans," Mordred said.

"The laces on pants got in the way of doing important things."

He smiled back.


Gwen

"Poor Mordred."

Gwen shook her head in amusement and gestured to the nusery.

"I'm gonna go check on the kids."


Mordred

"Ok," Mordred said, then kissed her thoroughly.


Gwen

Gwen kissed him back, then headed out to see Bryant and Eavan.

"Hmmm, how are you two today?"


Mordred

They smiled back at her.

"'Ood," Eavan lisped.

She poked Bryant. He poked her back.

Mordred returned to reading his book.


Gwen

Gwen spend the rest of the day with her children.
