Arthurian Legend RP

Mythian nodded and held Ruth, leaning back

Mordred brought the horses over and mounted his after tying Mythian's horse to his. A burst of wind lifted Mythian and placed her in his arms. "This okay?" he asked, shifting to make her more comfortable.

,Mythian nodded keeping her hold on Ruth.

Mordred urged the horse forward and they arrived back at the castle in just under ten minutes. Using the wind again, he helped Mythian down before dismounting and handing the horses off to a servant. "Let's get you two inside," he offered, picking her up again.

Sham watched wide eyed, Mordred left with Mythian, but came back with a child

Mythian nodded leaning against Mordred for support'

Eve moved up behind Sham, standing on tiptoe trying to see what was happening. "Sham? What is it?"

Kissing her forehead, Mordred carried them upstairs and settled them on the bed. "I'm going to send for the doctor. I'll be right back."

Sham looked back at her "They have a baby..."

Mythian nodded "Don't be  long" she said as she stroked Ruth's hea-

"What?!" Eve blinked. "That's so exciting!"

"I couldn't leave the most important women in my life for long," Mordred grinned. Giving Mythian one last kiss, he left to send a servant to fetch the doctor.

Sham nodded "but who delivered the baby?"

Mythian smiled watching him "I love you!" She called.

Eve frowned and leaned against him. "I don't know...they were alone when they left, right?" Her eyes suddenly widened. "You don't think..."

"Love you too," he called back. He returned three minutes later and sat on the bed next to her. "How are you feeling?"

Sham shook his head quickly "I don't know!"

"Tired" Mythian said looking t him

"He must have!" Eve exclaimed. "There's no way Mythian delivered it herself."

Mordred stifled a yawn. "I know the feeling."

"But that's crazy!" Sham exclaimed

Mythian nodded and laid down with Ruth "can't I rest?"

"I know it is," she agreed. "But that's the only answer I can think of."

"I'll watch Ruth while you rest," Mordred told her, gently taking the baby in his arms. "Sleep, Myth. You need it."

Sham nldded "it's...insane"

Mythian frowned "aren't you tired?"

"That's an understatement," Eve shook her head.

"A bit," Mordred shrugged. "But someone needs to watch her."

Sham laughed "True"

Mythian nodded "go get the serving girl eve...I trust her"

Eve kissed his cheek. "I wonder if we'll ever have a child."

Mordred hesitated then nodded. "I'll find her. Get some rest, Myth. I'll be back as soon as Ruth is taken care of."

Sham smiled "hopefully we will!"

Mythian nodded "thank you Mordred" she murmered before laying down.

Eve nodded. "I hope so too."

"You're welcome, fair one." With that Mordred rose and left to find Eve. After asking a few servants, who looked stunned to see him holding Ruth, he finally found her. "Eve!" he called.

When Mordred called her name, Eve jumped in surprise and gripped Sham's arm.

Sham put an arm around Eve as he watched Mordred wall over. "Sir?'

Mordred nodded to him in greeting. "Sham." Turning to Eve, he bowed his head. "Would you look after Ruth for a while?" he asked. "The lady and I wish to rest but don't want to leave her unattended."

Eve hesitated and glanced at Sham questioningly.

Sham looked at  Eve and nodded "You should probably loom after her inside..."

Slowly, Eve nodded and accepted Ruth. "I'll take good care of her, my lord," she promised, holding the child carefully.

Mordred smiled. "Thank you, Eve."

As he left, Eve glanced at Sham. "Did that really just happen? It didn't match what I'd heard about him at all."

Sham raiaed an eyebrow "what's so shocking? He's a father"

"What's shocking is that he knew my name and asked me if I would take her," Eve replied. Keeping Eve close, she started to go inside. "Help me? I don't want to be the only one responsible for the Master's child."

Sham nodded going in with her. "Maybe the Lady asked for you ?"

Eve smiled. "That would be an honor."

Sham nodded and smkled "she trusts you"

"It's amazing how different they seem to be from what we've heard," she commented as she entered the kitchen. "But, you've been telling me that for a while." Sitting at the table, she studied the baby, her expression gentle and protective. "She's beautiful."
