It had been a long past couple months, but alas, it was over and they were returning home, victorious. That was the biggest relief of all. Camelot's reputation of their army continued to stand strong as they remained undefeated in battle. One of their enemies had been trying to get through the borders so they had no choice but to defend the kingdom, and not only were they able to push the forces back, they had ensured peace. For their enemy had been left with no other alternative. It was either death or a truce and they had picked the wiser outcome. So now, Camelot's forces rode back in. The men were tired but there was that strong festive mood at the same time. Arthur was no exception to this. He felt relieved that this was one less enemy, and one more kingdom that was not united with Camelot.
The relief also extended to the fact that he was able to come home, to his wife. Leaving the kingdom had never been so difficult since he'd gotten married. Before he was married, it had been different. He often rode out with ease, embarking on whatever dangerous mission lay ahead. But now, it grew more and more difficult to venture out, knowing what -- or who -- he was leaving behind. So his excitement not only came from the fact that they no longer had an enemy . . . but also the anticipation of seeing Guinev?re. He was riding alongside his men -- Gwaine talking non stop as usual -- but Arthur's gaze was fixated on the courtyard as they rode through the city. It was night but there was still a crowd on the streets rejoicing in the safe return of the men. While Arthur acknowledged them, nodding toward the various citizens of Camelot, his eyes kept forward, waiting to see the woman he loved.
Setting: In the castle Time of Day: Night time Timeline: Post Season 4, Pre Season 5 What If: Arthur and Guinev?re are married and while she has exciting news to give, the kingdom is faced with a severe threat where sorcery is involved and an all too familiar enemy. Tag: Guinevère

'My Lady, the men were sighted on the road. The king will be in the city within a hour.' Guinevère looked up from Arthur's desk and smiled brightly at Rosa, before putting the pen down. Arthur! He was home! "Alert the kitchens, and bring in some extra help from the towns to make sure every Knight's chamber has plenty of water, and some bread." Rosa smiled and hurried out while Guinevère went to look before her mirror.
"Arthur!" He was home!! Her hand dropped to her belly and she smiled as the child growing there. Today he would return to not only a kingdom, and a wife, but a family! Her smile was brighter then it had been in so long! Not that these years had not been blessed but a child! A child to begin the family they had always spoken of.
She was on the steps long before he rode into the court yard, and her smile only grew at the sight of him, tall and proud on his noble steed. Her dress concealed the slight swelling of her belly for now, but soon all would know--but none before her husband. She hurried down the steps as he dismounted, eager to greet her husband.

As they entered the courtyard, he could see her there, standing on the steps, a vision of radiant beauty. He smiled, having missed her more than words were capable of describing. He quickly dismounted his horse as she hurried down to greet him and opened his arms up to her before wrapping them tightly around her. He held her close to him, closing his eyes and taking in that familiar feeling of holding her in his arms, of how she felt, her scent, every single thing about her that filled his heart with love. For he found no greater comfort or peace than being with her. Uncaring of who was looking, he slowly moved his head back only so he could look at her, a smile remaining on his lips and consuming his entire expression. Sometimes words were not always needed between them, and if there was one person he never concealed his emotions from, it was her.
So he found no point to guard his expression or hide how he felt in this moment. He merely looked at her, interrupted only by Leon who also descended the stairs to greet him. Arthur regrettably released his hold around Guinevère and extended his arm to greet Leon. Arthur very briefly explained the situation, and said that he would speak to him in the morning. As Leon tended to the others, Arthur returned his attention to his wife, taking her hand in his as he began to walk up the stairs. "How was everything here?" He asked. He always recognized the responsibility that was suddenly thrust upon her as queen. But he also knew that there was no better queen in all this world. Guinevère had the heart for the role, and that was all that mattered.
