    Summary

    Arthur hadn’t stirred. His face was peaceful in sleep, utterly unguarded in a way Merlin so rarely saw. Without the weight of duty pressing down on him, without the sharp edges of his arrogance, he looked… soft. Younger.
    For a moment, just a moment, Merlin allowed himself to look.

    Then, something inside him twisted, something deep and old and ancient, something that hummed beneath his skin like magic waiting to be cast.

    And then, a darker thought crept in. A whisper of knowledge he had long known but had never spoken aloud.

    He could conceive.

    ----------

    After a drunken night leads to an unexpected pregnancy, Merlin struggles to hide the truth, but when Arthur finally learns he’s carrying his child, their relationship deepens as they prepare to face the future together.
