Merrill, Fenris and Hawke had just returned from a mission on the Wounded Coast slaughtering thieves and slavers doing a task for Aveline.
Isabella had just returned to the Hanged Man for drinks with Varric waiting for the next instalment of his "friend fictions".
Anders was tending to his patients at the clinic in dark town and Bethany had been sent to the circle of Magi.
The estate in Hightown was doing wonderfully with Orana, Sandal and Bodahn maintaining the property.
Hawke had just woken up from a much-needed nap with her Mabari hound Chance laying by her feet.
Noticing some pain in her lower back she figures that she pulled something during her last quest.
Orana noticing that Hawke was awake was offering her food, Hawke politely declined the offer noticing that she was becoming nauseated, she took a few breaths and asked for some ginger tea with honey hoping that she wasn't getting ill.
Once the tea was drunk, Hawke notices that her pain comes and goes, Not felling 100% and realising that her period wasn't due for a few weeks she decides to send a message for Anders to come check her out.
She stays curled up in her bed, not wanting to move due to nausea and tries taking some elfroot and willow bark mixture to help with the pain.
Anders checks her over only to tell her it's an ovary issue that will possibly resolve itself and hands her a few elixirs for pain and nausea management until it passes.
Merrill pops in for a visit to discover that Hawke hasn't left her bed since she came home the previous day and checks in on her lover.
Picking up on how pale Hawke looks and seeing her lover curled up in pain she decides to go and find some hot rags to see if heat will make any difference with her pain.
She then places them against Hawke's back and stomach, Noticing how Hawke starts to relax as if there is some relief.
Merrill organises some broth be taken to the bedroom and keeps her lover company.
Hawke comes clean about how she is feeling and appreciates that Merrill is looking after her.
She states that she doesn't have much of an appetite but tries to eat before taking medication and drinks about half of the mug of broth before taking her medicine.
Hawke allows Merrill to cuddle up with her as Merrill gently massages her stomach easing some of the tension away.
They both fall asleep in each other's arms.
Lady Amell finds them both asleep in each other's arms when she returns from visiting her brother.
