It's good to be home, that's all I can say...although we've been back a few days now and things have had time to settle down. (I don't really feel like writing about the trip to the community... I've had a chance to speak with Gwaine about his hair care routine and give it a try myself. The results were really quite impressive.

What was also impressive...was the gift I made for Guinevere a thank God you and our child are safe gift.

I sent her a little notes over the last few days and got the boys to bring her to the western courtyard. I didn't actually know we had a western courtyard, it was overgrouwn, but I've turned it into a beautiful garden for her. Because...Guinevere loves flowers? I don't know really.

But to see the smile on her face, well, it's all worth it.

Yes, it was Amhar's birthday...his long awaited for sixth birthday.

Complete with a tournament and a celebratory feast.

Merlin outdid himself, of course.

The knights outdid themselves...

Everyone outdid themselves really!

I think Morgana enjoyed herself, I know her wards' did, lovely girls, Carys and Tarrwyn.

I'm not entirely sure how the other members of the magic community who came with Morgana made of it all. They were in the stands, but I wasn't really able to focus on them much. Quite a lot of bouts seeing as I made it to the final and won of course!

But yes, a wonderful day and one sure to live on in Amhar's memory.

And Guinevere is waiting for me...so...off I go.

Well, this week has been like none other since I was crowned. Firstly, Merlin has somehow managed to convince Morgana to return! He went out to find some magical people for a school he's decided to set up and the next thing I know I'm getting a message from him saying he's bringing her and several of her community back!

They arrived the afternoon before yesterday and Morgana immediately kneeled on stones, apparently as some act of penance. I hardly thought it necessary for her to kneel there for four hours until it was dark. If she catches a cold, well...I don't know, someone's going to be told off.

So really with all that going on you can't really blame me for snoring. Although I didn't really mean to wake Guinevere. I'm quite worried now....I must ask Merlin about fixing that...although that's rather hard to do when he's running around like he is. Although really as the King he should be at my beck and call. He never was a very good servant...

And now I've managed to stick my foot even further in it, with the tournament for Amhar's birthday. Of course I'm going to compete, I just didn't think it still bothered Guinevere so much. It's not as if I haven't won every other tournament I've been in. She knows this.

I hope she won't kick me out of bed this time...although I do like camping with Amhar and Duran....

And to think...just the other day my dear Queen was having fun with my sword.

More busy than most!

Firstly, the good news, my Yuletide wish has come true, my beloved Guinevere told me on New Year's Eve that she is expecting a child! Which is rather amusing considering her declarations a few nights ago that two was quite enough.

She's happy though, so I'm quite sure she was just teasing me, she was certainly smiling as much as me when we told the boys yesterday. Although, I think that Amhar and Duran may have been the most excited! I didn't know you could jump that high on a bed...

Of course this means the announcement had to be made. I hate making announcements of this nature, I don't know why... I'm all right with all the other announcements, and it's not as if I'm not happy as Hell.

Still, it was done, the kingdom is happy and and so are we!

I just wish Mor-

After delivering the grain to the halfway point, King Arthur has hurried back to Camelot with a gift that he hopes will placate his wife.

Upon his arrival at the castle he is met not by his Queen, but by his two sons.

"Father!" Amhar and Duran practically launch themselves at him! Fortunately, Arthur manages to catch them.

"Hello! You two are up late."

"We wanted to be here to see you." Amhar says planting a kiss on his cheek.

"We need you!" Duran adds.

"Oh?" Arthur raises an eyebrow.

"A Dragon's got Mother!" Duran continues dramatically.

Arthur's other eyebrow rises. "A Dragon?"

"She's in the tower!" Amhar tells him. "We can lead you there, but you'll have to save her!"

Arthur shares a look with Leon, who merely shrugs and laughs.

"Well, if I'm the only one." Arthur straightens his shoulders, but before he goes on he removes his gift from where he's placed it in his belt. "However, I need you two to look after this, it's very important."

Amhar immediately takes the gift in hand. "We will, Father. Now let's go, you can't keep Mother waiting!"

Morgana's unexpected return to Camelot had lead to a bit of an arguement between the Royal Couple of Camelot.

The King was sent to the nursery to sleep, and being the King, he figured he'd make the best of it and with the young princes it turned out to be a fun-filled evening indeed!

When Queen Guinevere rises early in the morning and goes to check on her boys, she'll find them and her husband camping on the nursery floor.

( It could melt the hardest heart, and Guinevere's heart is not hard. )

It's scenes like this that make the servants of the Royal household declare that falling out's between the King and Queen will not last long.
