This is a sequel to my previous story, 'Trapped In The Past'. You need not read it before reading this one if you are reluctant to. Enjoy! ^^

Gaius rubbed his forehead tiredly after hearing the boy's story. An unconscious little boy was brought to him by one of the guards who found him on the outskirts of the castle. When Gaius had returned to his chambers, he found the boy awake yet anxious to answer any of Gaius's questions but after a little coaxing from the elderly man; Morgan relented and told Gaius his name and his story.

"I'm Morgan Emrys, youngest son of Merlin and Morgana Emrys. My Papa is the Royal Court Sorcerer and Mama is the Court Physician. I'm 6 years old and I'm a warlock like Papa. I like spending time in the woods and playing with the animals that live there and playing with my older siblings in the castle. I don't like training and I won't eat meat. I want to be Court Sorcerer like Papa when I grow up. The last thing I remember was that I was in the forest looking for my big sister but then I fell and hit my head on something...so now I am here."

Well...that was a lot to digest...

Gaius studies Morgan intently, a million thoughts running in his head.

I would never have imagined Morgana and Merlin to marry each other especially after what Kilgarrah had said about Morgana...

"Grandfather Gaius? How do I go home?"

The physician looks on apologetically at the boy and admitted he did not know however the moment he said that, he saw tears forming in the boy's eyes thus realizing he knew he made the boy upset; he tries to calm the child but Morgan did not waiver and his lip quivered as if he was going to cry.

"Gaius!"

The old man looks up and Morgan pulls up his hood quickly as Morgana enters the room with a small bottle in her hand.

"Gaius, this new potion of yours is no good. I'm still having nightmares."

"Oh dear, come child give it here. I will deliver a new one later, much more potent alright?"

Uther's ward nods, smiling as she bid farewell and turned to leave but stopped when she saw the small child sitting on Gaiu's worktable.

"Who is that Gaius?"

"A-a patient. He is suffering from memory loss!" Gaius answers, lying smoothly.

"Poor thing, how will he ever find his parents?" Morgana moves forward but Gaius raises his hand to stop her.

"My apologies but the child is gravely ill as well and I would prefer if you do not get to close."

Morgana looked disappointed upon hearing this but she does not object despite how much she wanted to go toward the child and comfort him. She sincerely wished the small boy good luck before finally departing the physician's chambers, much to Gaius's relief.

In Arthur's Bed Chambers

"Merlin! You idiot! What happened to my white tunics?"

The big-eared manservant laughs uneasily seeing his fuming master clutching at his now pink tunic, "I thought you would appreciate more colour in your wardrobe?"

"THAT'S IT! MERLIN! I'LL-"

"Oh just leave him be Arthur! He made a mistake."

Arthur looked up, glaring at his adopted sister who just entered the room without invitation. Seeing the chance to escape, Merlin retreated without much difficulty leaving Morgana to tend to Arthur's rage.

"Gana! What the hell?!"

"Arthur! That was out of line! You looked ready to pummel him!"

"Well that is what he deserves!"

"He is just a boy! He is 4 years your junior! Why can't you be a little nicer to the boy that has saved your life on numerous occasions?"

The blonde clicked his tongue in annoyance, annoyed that his 18 year old sister brought that up.

"You know nothing."

Morgana folds her arms crossly at that, glaring at the blonde so hard and so intensely that even Arthur was feeling her gaze. He looked her over, her hair was tied into an elegant bun, looking extravagant as usual in her flowy purple dress with silk sleeves and gold jewellery. She speaks again, bringing Arthur back to reality.

"You know I am right; now stop being such a bully to the poor fellow. He is sweet, kind and thoughtful so be nice."

Arthur turns his head sharply, hearing the adjectives Morgana used to describe his servant; it was as if warning bells literally sounded off in his head.

"Such flattery for a mere servant Morgana, you're not toying with him away from watchful eyes in the dark now are you?"

She rolls her eyes, unamused, "He is not just a servant especially to you. You should really stop taking him for granted before you regret it."

Arthur snorts, doubting it but when he he turns back to speak to his sister, she had already turned and was making her way out.

In the Physician's Chambers

Merlin entered, grinning from ear to ear, "Gaius! I'm back!"

"Papa!"

The tall warlock was caught off guard when a small child suddenly jumps in his arms and even more so when he hugs his neck familiarly. He looks up to see Gaius looking rather amused.

"Erm I haven't been with a lady yet so I promise you this child is not mine."

"Wrong"

Merlin frowns, adjusting his arm to carry the small boy better. He was a little warm against his neck despite having his neckerchief on.

"He is a child from the future if you don't beliee me then just take a look at him."

Merlin turns and his eyes widens with shock at the face that looked so much like his own looking back at him innocently.

The defined angled facial structure, the shy smile, fair skin and pointed ears that stuck out on either side of his head and dark, curly hair.

But it was the eyes that alarmed him.

Seaglass green.

"Merlin, that boy is the fourth child you and Morgana will have in the future."

At this point, Merlin was feeling light-headed but but the way the small boy in his arms was fisting his shirt in his small hands; he knew that would be a bad idea.

"Are you okay Papa?"

The teenager in question cringes slightly at the address but seeing the unnaturally piercing eyes of the small boy looking at him with so much affection and love that it touched him.

"You look just like me..."

Morgan nods, grinning widely, "I'm Morgan! Mama says I will just look like you when I grow up!"

Merlin smirked smugly, kissing the child on the forehead, "Please work on getting some muscles, don't grow up to be a string-bean like me."

Morgan laughed causing his father to chuckle along with him and Gaius watches on intrigued by the two.

Merlin will have a beautiful family in the future one day for sure especially with Morgana by his side but could Merlin really help the boy home back to his own time?
