Gwen sat staring at the white wall opposite, her PDA lying on her leg. The chatter of the hospital was fading behind her and she really didn't want to pay much attention to them anyway. Occasionally she would get a sympathetic smile through the door and she was half tempted to move and slam it shut. But at least with it open Arthur would know this was where she was immediately. She probably should have told him earlier, but she was swept up on all the medical aspects of this that she found it difficult to get a moment to contact him.

She sighed and dropped her eyes to the covers over her, bringing a hand to the cotton white blanket on top and playing with a loose thread. She wished Gaius was here for some reason, even if it was just for the comfort of a physician she knew and trusted a little bit more than the ones here. Slowly, she moved the PDA to the little table beside her, knowing Arthur was on his way, before turning her head to face the window.

Arthur patted Merlin's back in an idle fashion when he came to stand beside him. Neither of them knew what he and Guinevere did, and though it was unfair to withhold that knowledge from them, he would be damned if he were the one to say it. Guinevere needed to be able to face her friends and say those words to them and know they didn't blame her like he didn't.

"Yes, they did."

Arthur brushed by Morgana, reaching for Guinevere, touching her chin and cheek, tucking a loose curl of black hair behind her ear and waiting, with a great deal more patience than he felt, for her to bring her gaze back to his.

Morgana returned the squeeze Gwen gave her with one of her own, "Of course we had to." Morgana said, immediately agreeing with Arthur.

If it had been anyone else their eyes would have widened at the uncharacteristic display of affection the Prince of Camelot was showing towards a "servant". As it was Morgana, there was a small part of her trying not to be smug. It wasn't a shouting from the mountain top. But this was Arthur and that gesture was as good as. She was happy for them; however, as good as Morgana was at her multitasking, she moved her attention from Arthur and Gwen, to rest solely on her friend. "You needed us, so we came." It was that simple to her, "We had to come, I had to come, to see for myself how you were doing and if you needed thing. You mean too much to me for me to have not to."

Morgana had never had any problem, even in Camelot, showing her affection for Gwen. And she meant it. The minute she had heard something had happened, she had needed to be there by her friend's side to make sure things weren't as horrible as she was imagining and to help her with whatever she might have needed.

She looked up when Arthur brushed at her hair, realising when he didn't move that she was meant to look up at him. She met his gaze for a moment, before looking away to Morgana when she spoke. When she said she had to come to see how she was, she realised that she should probably tell them the reason why she was in here.

"I am glad you came. I have to tell you something," she said before glancing at Merlin. "Well both of you."

She bit her lip before looking at Arthur. She needed his help, his support.

Arthur shifted to the side and threw a pointed look over his shoulder toward Merlin. For some unfathomable reason, Merlin's actions came across as more awkward and frustrating than normal and Guinevere wanted him here and Arthur wasn't going to let Merlin get away with standing on the opposite side of the room when Guinevere chose to tell him what had happened.

Catching Gwen's eye, he bent and pressed a kiss to her temple. "It's going to be fine," he told her, all certainty and false strength. "They need to know."

Gwen sighed softly, her eyes closing at his gentle kiss. He just somehow managed to calm her so easily right now, he was giving her the support that she really did need. Opening her eyes, she looked back at Arthur and nodded before glancing between Merlin and Morgana. She didn't know who to focus on, so chose to let her eyes fall to the blankets covering her.

"I...I lost the baby," she said softly, but knew they would have heard."
