"You're pregnant?!" Leliana asked her friend who stood before her.
"Yes but shh! I still haven't told Zevran yet." Natia replied shooting a glance in Zevran's direction.
After the blight ended Natia, Zevran, and Leliana had been traveling together. They were heading for Orlais but had stopped for the night in the Frostback Mountains.
"Well you have to tell him! It's his after all. Right?" Leliana smirked.
Natia returned it with a blank face and cocked head.
"Okay, okay just checking. Anyway go tell him."
"I want to but I have no clue how to. I mean I'm not even supposed to be able to get pregnant what with the whole Grey Warden thing."
"You could try 'Hey Zevran sweetie, I'm pregnant.'"
"Oh sure, that would work if it weren't Zevran! He might freak out. And I'm not good at climbing trees."
"Cli-climbing trees? Why would you need to climb trees?"
"It's Zev's favourite hiding place. Don't ask cause I don't know what to tell you."
"Just go tell him. Use your humor." Leliana finished, shoving the dwarf in front of her towards Zevran.
Natia hesitated thoughtfully, then finally walked toward him. He was sitting on a log by the fire cooking dinner. She sat next to him.
"Heeeeeey Zev." She said nonchalantly kicking some dirt into the fire.
"Hello my dear, how are you?" he responded in his suave Antivan voice.
"Oh fine, fine. Anyway so. Hey quick question, do you like children?"
Zev turned to face her. "Uhh, well I've never been particularly fond of them but I've never disliked them either."
"Well that's good to hear. But would you ever want a child of your own?"
"Why?"
"Just a question."
"Perhaps but you're the only woman I'd want a child with. And since Grey Wardens can't get pregnant…"
"Oh yah right. Well um…"
"You're acting very strangely, Natia."
"Oh sod it! How do I put this? Your Darkspawn entered the deep roads, nested in the dead trenches, and ope! A new Archdemon formed."
Zevran thought for a moment. "You mean you're-you're pregnant?!"
Natia smiled as innocently as possible. Zevran stood up and swooped her into a hug, swinging her around until they were both properly dizzy.
