The way Freya kissed him now….she didn’t think that she had kissed him like this ever. She liked it. Her eyes held a glazed quality to them once he pulled away. Why had he stopped? But he was talking to her and she was forced back to earth. She smiled, brushing aside a lock of his hair from his forehead. “Can you just imagine it,” she whispered, as if the entire idea was a secret between the two. And in a way it was something that could only belong to them.
“A little bit of you, and a little bit of me.”
A little girl or boy with dark hair and his smile, or her eyes. She could picture it so clearly that she wanted so badly to meet him or her at that moment. But first…things had to be done to get him or her there.

“Can you just imagine it,”
Could he? He was trying to at the moment without having any of the worry about how destructive it could possibly turn out. Merlin could move things before he could talk - he dreaded to think of the possibilities that a baby with magic could bring. He nodded, "Everything will be on fire, objects will float..." he smirked, "Could be dangerous..."
“A little bit of you, and a little bit of me.”
Merlin's smirk turned to a grin now. "I hope that for your sake it looks like you." The poor child would suffer if it looked anything like him. The more he thought about it, the more it was making him a little nervous. Of course, whatever the gender - the child would have dark hair like both him and Freya and hopefully the rest of her features.
If he was going to be a parent, he'd be a pathetic excuse for one - that much he knew.

Freya listened to him list the obstacles they were going to face raising a magical child. She reached up, pecking him on the lips. “Hush,” she instructed, not wishing to think of how they were going to keep their child from causing destruction. She hadn’t ever been around a child born with magical abilities to the extent that Merlin had. For a moment she allowed herself to think of the daunting task ahead, but then quickly after banished the thought.
“I want him to have your eyes,” she said, smiling as she stared at the mentioned trait. She scoffed. “It has to look like both of us,” she teased, knowing that was what she truly hoped for. She wanted to see a bit of Merlin whenever she looked at their child.
Their child!
The idea was too exciting.
Yet she found that she was maybe stalling by keeping him talking; afraid to make the first move.

Of course, he was made to stop talking when she placed her lips on his again. Ok...clearly she had the upper hand in this relationship...not that he was complaining of course.
“I want him to have your eyes,” Merlin rolled his own at this and gave her a grin. "If HE has my eyes..." Merlin emphasised "then I really do feel for him." At this, Freya scoffed “It has to look like both of us,”. Merlin laughed silently and looked at her with a knowing smile, "and it will...just - one more than the other...which will be you might I add"
He saw her hesitant look, as though she was thinking about something. He knew what - because he'd been doing exactly the same thing. "So..." he broke the ice, someone had to. "Shall we...er.."
Ok this was going to be harder than anticipated.

Freya laughed, not understanding this aversion he had to their child looking like him. Why not? She would love to hold their child and see aspects of him in it. “You’ll see,” she teased, hoping that the child looked more like him than her just to prove him wrong. “If he has your eyes,” she commented, her hand resting on his cheek, “then I feel for the girl who will get lost in them.” For she had done it quite a few times. Such talk was unlike her yet, with the giddiness of their talk of their child and the passion she had felt in his kiss, she felt that she was entitled to act such a way.
She could see that he too didn’t know exactly where to begin. She blushed, glad that they were out here on their own. It would be much too awkward if others were nearby. She remembered, as a girl, wondering where the couples linked by hands did when they went off into the woods together. It was only years later, after her first cycle, that she was told why they came back with such goofy grins.
Gathering her courage she kissed him, hoping that passion would just guide them.

Merlins eyes flickered to where Freya's hand now rested on his cheek, before returning back to her. He gave a small smile, "I still disagree" and with that shook his head slightly, "I don't know why you even ran away with me in the first place." His lips were now forming into a small grin.
She kissed him again. Merlin moved his hands down to her waist and gently rested them there. Was that even where they were supposed to go? He had no clue but he was quite happy for them to stay there for now. He pulled her more into him so that they were closer and deepened the kiss more like he had done earlier. "Do...er..do you want to?" he was a little unsure of how to ask her or to even approach her. This was going to be awkward to say the least, but Merlin knew he had to push that aside. Instead he gave her a knowing look.

Freya laughed, finding it absurd that he even questioned why she left with him. "Why, I would have been a fool not to run with you," she said, truly meaning it. She hadn't met anyone like Merlin before, and doubted that she ever would again. She wouldn’t give him up if she had the chance.
His lips on hers sent a spark through her, along with his hands on her hips. He pulled her closer, causing her to feel his limbs against hers. She honestly could not think of a better place than where she was now. After he had kissed her he spoke, which part of her was disappointed with. Why had he stopped? But then she understood what he was asking her.
Oh.
Well, they needed to, right? And it wasn’t as if the idea was desirable. It was just…awkward. She was a shy person, and he was too. But maybe they could make it work.
“I…I think we should.”

Ok...right...this was going to...well...it was going to be alright, because Merlin knew exactly what he was doing...
Yeah right! What on earth was he going to do now? Being inexperianced in matters such as this only worried him. What if it wasn't what she was hoping for? What if he did something wrong or upset her without knowing? How on earth was he meant to correct that? So many questions and so little time to answer that in the end, he just decided to go with the flow. After all...wasn't that what everyone did?
Merlin kissed her a little more, moving one hand up to push a strand of her hair behind her ear, before moving it down to rest on her shoulder just above her sleeve. He paused slightly and looked at her - as though he wanted permission first before he did anything that might make her feel uncomfortable.

Breathe.
Just breathe.
Freya forced herself to take a deep breath or she feared that her heart would burst from her chest. What did she feel? Apprehensive? Nervous? Excited? A bit of all three. She had never done anything like this and knew, or at least gathered from his behavior, that he hadn’t either. Maybe that was better than just one of them knowing what to do. If they made a mistake, they would learn from it together.
She watched Merlin, lips slightly parted as he brushed back her hair. From there her eyes watched as he placed a hand on her sleeve. She nodded, telling him it was alright. They could do this. Why? Because they were doing it together.

He pushed down the top of her sleeve from her shoulder slightly before stopping. No...this needed to be done with as much comfort between them as possible. Instead Merlin decided against the sleeve option, choosing to do something completly out of character (and surprising to him) by picking her up into his arms and carrying her over to the bed, placing her down on it.
Ok so now it was the task of undoing the lacing of her dress?! How was that so hard? Clearly it was because quite frankly it looked quite fiddly and Merlin risked looking like an idiot. "unlísan" he murmered as the laces began to untie themselves - at which point Merlin decided to kiss her again - this time allowing his lips to trace lightly across her collarbone.
"Are you alright?" he asked after a while, wanting to make sure that Freya was silling to carry on.
Notes: unlísan - unloose

Freya frowned once he stopped. Had he changed his mind? She felt her face burn with the oncoming shame of his refusal. But instead of stepping away from her he picked her up. She gasped, having not expected it, before allowing a small smile to flit across her lips. She realized that her dress might be a bit of a hassle. There was her overdress of blue cotton which was laced in the back followed by her corset and chemise underneath. It was much more complicated than his outfit, which she lamented.
The laces began to untie themselves thanks to his words. She exhaled, feeling a bit of the tension roll away. This was good. They were on the bed, which was a start. Her laces on her outerdress were undone. Step one was accomplished.
Merlin’s lips on her collarbone caused her to shiver. She unknowing arched her neck, liking the feeling of his lips there. Her arms went around his back, feeling the warmth of his body through the cloth. She realized after a moment that he had asked her a question.
“It’s fine,” she said, a bit breathless.

Good...that was good...everything was going swimmingly as far as he was concerened and now with Freya saying that she was fine was another thing to add to the list of achievements. It would've taken him aaaaaaaaaaages to undo those laces! So he was grateful for cheating a bit and saving time. Even though they had all the time in the world, it did not feel like it at all.
He felt her arms around his back, she had liked him kissing her neck so he was doing something right at least. Merlin took his opportunity to rid himself of both his scarf and shirt, throwing them to the side before leaning back down and kissing Freya's neck gently again. His hands trailed down to the botton of her skirts, finding the end of the material and starting to push it up to her waist. Just the feeling of her skin on his burned - not that he was complaining, in fact he very much liked it.
Merlin looked at her again so as he could go on. He wanted to be sure that she wanted this.

Freya reluctantly let her arms fall to her side as he removed his shirt. Before she had the chance to really get a look at him he was bending down to kiss her neck again. Any other thoughts vanished. One hand snaked around his back once more, feeling the burning warmth of his skin. The other, daringly, threaded through his hair, keeping him close. A soft sigh slipped past her lips.
His hands on her legs, pushing her skirt up, caused goose bumps to erupt. She had been told that the first time would hurt, but she would struggle through it. After all, she had Merlin with her. It was different from doing this with someone you loved, compared to a total stranger who had no concern for you. She watched him silently ask.
“Please,” she whispered, not trusting herself to speak further.

So what was next? Ah! Trousers! That would be a start. She was silently driving him mad at the moment - even if Merlin wasn't letting on. Ok, he couldn't take it any longer - it had to be NOW, otherwise it would drive him insane!
He managed to loosen the laces on his trousers (thankfully without the aid of magic) and bunch up Freya's skirts around her waist - her top half of her chemise thankfully exposing a little more skin to him. He groaned slightly and brought his lips back to hers, making a trail of kisses down to her chest, before bringing his forehead to rest against hers. His eyes looking into hers. He could feel her hands through his hair, the small occasional sigh that she would give. Yes, it really had to be now, otherwise Merlin knew the anticipation would be the death of him.
She was the best thing to have come into his life, and now he wanted to make sure that she knew that.

Freya arched her back slightly, unable to take the feeling of his lips any longer without doing anything. It was becoming too much. Did he feel the same way that she did? That burning feeling that was both pleasant and a little scary at the same time? She met his gaze before pressing her lips to his. They would be alright. This would work.
After she shifted to her side to look at him, trying to regulate her breathing. That had been…. She didn’t have words. Her hand moved to his hair, brushing back a stray lock. She inched closer to him, being careful not to move her lower half too much. She knew that she would feel sore the next morning, but now she didn’t care.
“I love you,” she whispered, still riding the high from what they had just done. “You don’t know what you mean to me.”

Merlin laid there afterwards, still a little dazed at what had just happened. Now that was better than he'd actually expected, if not more than better. He turned his head to Freya, who was now brushing back some of his hair. He smiled at her and turned to face her, propping himself up on his elbow.
He was lucky. That was the only way to describe them. Lucky. Lucky to have found one another, to have run away for this life, not knowing what would await them - Lucky to have a future and one that didn't entail him to have a destiny to fulfill. The only destiny he had now was her, and their future. Right now that seemed so much closer than before, It was more possible to just reach out and grab it. This was all falling into place. It was real. It was love.
"I love you more" he told her and leant in, placing a long and lingering kiss onto her lips, "I told you you were special" he murmered, "and I was right...I cannot lose you Freya - you're the only one who's kept me going since leaving Camelot."

Freya smiled, moving to embrace him. Oh, if they could be like this forever! She felt comfortable with him, safe, loved. And he seemed to be happy with her. She had been afraid she might have disappointed him with what they had just done, but he didn't give off any hints that she had.
Her smile faltered somewhat as he mentioned Camelot. Despite what he had said earlier she still blamed herself for ruining the destiny that had been planned for him. But he had made the decision to leave. "We'll plan our own future," she said, speaking quietly. She felt that if she spoke too loud it would ruin the bubble that they were currently in. As if someone would hear their hopeful plans.
"We'll be together...with our baby."

"We'll plan our own future," Merlin smiled as she said this. A future with Freya was all he wanted, and now that it was happening - he couldn't be happier. "We'll be together...with our baby." Just those words made him kiss her again. A future with their baby. Something to finally call their own, as it would be both of their blood...and of course, of magic.
"I couldn't think of anything better" he murmered, before laying back down, putting one of his arms behind his head to rest it upon and staring at the ceiling. "Although I still think i'd rather have it look like you than me" he smirked, knowing that Freya would disagree.
Merlin was surprised he was now talking so openly and comfortable about the subject - pehaps them making that move had made him more comfortable on delicate situations and conversations such as the one they were having right now. He liked that they could now speak freely of it, and other things - and Merlin was certainly willing to listen to Freya's opinions.

Freya felt that tingle that she associated with his touch as he kissed her. She smiled, glad to see him so relaxed. They both were, surprisingly, after what they had just done. She reached up to place a kiss at the base of his throat before gently resting her head on his chest. Hearing his heartbeat below her ear was comforting.
She laughed at his reluctance for their baby to look like him. "We'll see," she teased, not knowing herself who it was going to favor in looks. It was going to be a handful to raise since it would be born magically inclined, but it was going to be worth it.
"We'll need a name."
She was talking about it as if it actually existed yet. She fought against a blush. Well, they knew what to do if it didn't work this time.

He felt the warmth of her as she rested her head against his chest. He gently placed a kiss on her hair and wove his free arm around her, pulling her closer to him. A small smile spread across his face as she started to mention that they needed a name. He let out a small chuckle - the child didn't exist yet and already they were planning ahead. Merlin liked the idea - just the vision of another life running about the place made him smile - even if it was going to be harder work than most babies.
A magical baby would need more time, more control. For a start they had no control over their powers and were more vulnerable at being found out than an older child would be. Merlin sometimes wondered how his mother coped when he was born. Having to control him without actually having magic to help her prevent his own. She'd come through it, so if she could do it - then Merlin and Freya most certainly could.
"Hmmm...names..." he thought out aloud, "Did you have any in mind?"
