*Malefica cradled her baby and kissed his hair gently as she held her arms protectively around him. She looked at Merlin with tear-filled eyes.*
"It is not with an easy heart I send my children away. It breaks my heart to be separated from my family. I am missing Eden terribly, and as soon as we get back home, I want to take her out alone on a lot of mother/daughter things. And Gawain... He starts crying every time his father touches him. I hope that changes, so they can do father/son things together, like fishing, or playing football or whatever boys do."

*Merlin laughed and ruffled her hair, the same way he had done in her childhood.*
"Don't worry, child. Everything will be OK. You just wait and see."
*He winked at the baby.*
"Isn't that right, sonny?"

*Gawain only gurgled, his gaze rather focused on the old man.*

*Merlin smiled and manifested a toy car for Gawain to play with.*
"This is a car, Gawain. In the future, people will move around in these where ever they go."

*Gawain took it carefully in his tiny hands. Then promptly dropped it to the cold floor and whimpered.*

*Merlin picked up the toy car from the floor and placed the toy car in Gawain's tiny hands again, helping him to get a better grip.*

*Gawain tried again, this time securing the end of it in his mouth. He gnawed at it happily.*

*Merlin chuckled with laughter when he saw the happy baby in his mother's arms.*
"Ah, I thought you would like that. Most boys do. In the future, at least..."
*He looked at Malefica.*
"I want you to stay here for a couple of days, in safety. At least until Gawain has adjusted to his new surroundings. Then you can go back and fight, if you like."
*Malefica nodded. She knew her adoptive father was right.*

*Gawain bounced happily before pulling the toy from his mouth and holing it up to Malefica, shiny with drool.*

*Malefica smiled and caressed him gently while studying the car.*
"You are a lucky little boy, aren't you?"
*She kissed him lovingly.*

*Malefica laughed, and held out her hand. The car flew up into her hand, and she blew the dust of it before returning it to Gawain.*
"Here you are, sweetie. You really love your car, don't you honey?"
*She spoke mildly to him.*
"Can you say momma?"

*Gawain just buzzed his lips, blowing spittle everywhere as he tried to take the toy.*
"Pthhbbbbt."

*Malefica laughed and gently wiped his cute little face with a napkin, before helping him to fasten his grip around the toy.*
"Here, honey. Is that better?"

*His head rolled as his looked around the room, toy forgotten, mouth opened wide.*
