*Merlin looked around, but he couldn't see any of the servants nearby. He smiled and looked down at Gawain, and started singing softly to him. Even if he would never admit to it, he had a melodic voice. He rocked Gawain gently in his arms while singing.*
Lullaby and good night In the sky stars are bright 'Round your head Flowers gay Set you slumbers till day
Lullaby and good night In the sky stars are bright 'Round your head Flowers gay Set you slumbers till day
Close your eyes Now and rest May these hours Be blessed
Close your eyes Now and rest May these hours Be blessed
Bonne nuit cher enfant Dans tes langes blancs Repose joyeux En revant des cieux
Good night dear child In your white sheets Rest happy Dreaming of Heaven Quand le jour reviendra Tu te reveilleras Quand le jour reviendra Tu te reveilleras
When day will be back You'll wake up again When day will be back You'll wake up again Lullaby and good night In the sky stars are bright 'Round your head Flowers gay Set you slumbers till day

*Merlin walked quietly over to the crib, and put Gawain carefully to bed. Then he tucked him gently into soft, warm blankets, and stroke his tiny head gently. He stood by the crib for a moment, looking down on the sleeping child with soft eyes.*
"Poor boy," *He whispered.* "What will the future hold for you? How can I give you the best life possible?"

*****AFTER THE CHURCH*****
*Malefica came back to the fortress, with a very happy smile on her face. She rushed into the room and threw herself in Merlins arms.*
"Merlin, a miracle happened in the church. I was forgiven!"
*Tears of joy was streaming down her face.*
"There there, girl. I have always told you never to give up hope."
*Merlin murmured. He looked down at the little boy in the crib with a smile on his face. Malefica came over to the crib and looked down at Gawain as well.*

*Malefica smiled brightly at the sight of her beloved child. She smiled warmly down to him. She hesitated for a moment, lifting her eyes to heaven.*
Please Lord... I repent my sins. Be with me. Help me to take care of my child without harming him.
*Reluctantly she leaned over the crib, lifting Gawain carefully in her arms, ready to leave him to Merlin if necessary.*

*Malefica's eyes brimmed with tears that started trickling down her cheeks, as her heart was filled with joy, and gratitude.*
Oh, thank you, Lord! Thank you so much!
*She pulled her son closer to her, and kissed him lovingly.*
"Oh Gawain, I have missed you so much. Poor little child, you must be starved!"
*Merlin left the room, and Malefica sat down in a chair, offering her chest to Gawain.*

*Malefica smiled and looked lovingly down at her baby as he was nursing.*
"I love you, Gawain. More than anything else in the world. And I promise you that I will never let anything come between us again. Not if I can help it."

*Malefica lifted up Gawain and held him close to her heart, enjoying the feel of his soft skin against hers. She smelled in the lovely scent of baby and smiled happily as she stroke his back gently.*
"There you are, baby. Does it feel better now?"
*Her voice was filled with love for him.*
