Evelyn was standing on the their bedroom balcony again – looking out over the streets and paths that made up the noble quarters of Antiva City. It was still early, the streets quiet enough but Josephine knew what her wife was looking at.

Wife.

Josephine could hardly believe it sometimes – the chantry had never married two women together before but Leliana had made a lot of changes since becoming Divine and who was going to tell the Inquisitor she couldn't marry her love after saving the world?

They'd left Skyhold a year ago, leaving it in the capable hands of Cassandra and Cullen, so they could settle down in Antiva and take over the Montilyet household. They were happy and settled and Evelyn loved Antiva.

And she wanted children.

Josephine did too, there was no question of it and she needed an heir or two for the Montilyet family if nothing else but they hadn't spoken of it or how they would go about it. However Evelyn spent most mornings looking out over the city and it wasn't the market setting up or the young nobles drifting home after a late night that caught her attention.

Early every morning, the children from the Chantry orphanage headed out for morning prayers. It was too much for her kind hearted wife to take some days and she saw tears in her eyes when she finally turned away.

"I spoke to Mother Elise yesterday" Josephine said, wrapping her arms around the tall blonde warrior and rising up on her tip toes to kiss her on the cheek.

"Oh?" she said, smiling at her and turning to hug her. "Good morning."

"Good morning."

"What did Mother Elise have to say? Do they need another donation?" she asked, pulling Josephine into a tight hug.

The Montilyets were slowly pulling back their fortune through Josephine's clever and careful dealings in Antiva and Orlais but the Trevelyans were very well off and Evelyn was generous with her money. Especially when it came to helping victims of Corypheus.

"There is a boy at the orphanage called Benoit, and he has a little sister, Louisa," she said, looking over the children as they skipped to services.

Evelyn raised an eyebrow at her.

"They lost their parents when Corypheus attacked Haven – they had come to trade with us."

"Oh. What are they doing here in Antiva?"

"They came to live with their grandmother but she died unexpectedly."

"Oh – that's awful," Evelyn said, and she looked so sad that Josephine wanted to kiss away any sorrow she felt. She smiled and held her close.

"I know we never talked about it but I would certainly like to have children with you however I can."

"I love you Josephine."

"Come meet Benoit and Louisa, talk to Mother Elise."

"I'd love to," she said.
