camelot_love's Spring Fling. The prompt was Blossom.
“It should be something sweet, just like she is!”
Gwen cooed out rocking the bundle in her arms back and forth adjusting the pink blanket wrapped tightly around it. Arthur from his desk glanced up over the mountain of paper work and rolled his eyes.
“A pain is what she is; look,” Arthur lifted up a handful of paper from his desk, “She’s completely ruined all these, they’re chewed to hell!”
Gwen hugged the bundle closer to her chest as if to shield her from Arthur’s words.
“Arthur how can you say such things about our baby!”
Sighing Arthur pinched the bow of his nose and replied tone exasperated.
“Guinevere it’s not our baby!”
Gwen let out a gasp in shock and sucked her bottom lip into her mouth as tears began to well up in her eyes. Arthur silently cursed himself, he really should have known better. Hurriedly getting up from his chair he strode towards her before dropping now onto his knees, pleading as he did so.
“O please don’t cry. I didn’t mean it; you know I didn’t mean it.”
In an attempt to calm her now flowing tears Arthur stroked her cheek but Gwen yanked her body away from him.
“Don’t lie! You don’t care…you don’t even care what we name her!” Gwen sobbed out.
“Yes I do, I do how about we name her……ummmm” Arthur panicking looked out of the window into the spring scenery and a thought struck.
“How about Blossom?”
Gwen slowly turned her body back towards him, watery eyes flicking from her husband to the sweet little thing cradled in her arms as she mulled it over.
“Blossom,B.l.o.s.s.o.m.” Gwen said the word over and over testing it out on her tongue before abruptly gigging and beamed down into blue eyes.
“It’s perfect, I love you.” After planting a quick kiss into his lips Gwen started cooing over Blossom once more.
Arthur breathed out a sigh of relief, glad to see Gwen happy again, inside however he was slightly cursing whoever had decide to get his heavily pregnant wife a puppy and thinking of all the torturous things he could do to them if only he knew who the culprit was…wait a second now he remembered it was Merlin…perfect!
