It felt like an eternity. Waiting in that hospital corridor. The white walls. The smell of disinfectant. The sounds he couldn’t identify.

But the hardest part of the wait was knowing that Merlin was there, alone, in pain and that he couldn’t be by his side. It was not how it was supposed to go. Gwaine should have been by Merlin’s side, helping him, supporting him.

It was a safety measure, the nurse had said. Gwaine hadn’t had any choice… And so he was there, waiting behind the swing door.

It felt like an eternity, waiting for the arrival of their daughter.

It felt like eternity when he held her for the first time and saw her dark blue eyes watching him.

It felt like eternity when Merlin smiled sleepily at them.
