A Hero & A Waitress

Chapter 7

Here's Chapter 7! By The Way, I won't be doing Awakening for this one, so I can go through the story faster. I have other ideas stacking up.

A couple of days has passed since Adean took Bella out for the walk. He was currently in the Dining Room, Eating breakfast with Alistair.

"So, What do you and Bella plan to do?" Alistair asked.

"Well, the House is finished repairing. After that, I'm wanting to get her the Gnawed Tavern. Get her something she's familiar with."

Alistair nodded, "And you get drinks for free?" He said, grinning.

Adean chuckled, "No, But free drinks for any Grey Warden."

Alistair nodded again, "That's Good...That's Good..."

Then a question popped into Alistair's Mind.

"Since We're Grey Wardens...Have you told Bella about our lifespans?"

Adean was unprepared for that, he thought about it for a minute.

"No...I haven't...But I plan to make the best of the rest of the life that I have with her." Adean answered him.

"She's a lucky girl." Alistair replied.

"She's my lucky girl."

Alistair chuckled.

"Have you found anyone yet?" Adean asked.

"No, Not Yet..."

Adean nodded, "But I'm sure any girl will fall for you, looking past the King part, that is."

"Yeah, Maybe."

"I mean, Look at me, I fell in love with a Waitress!" He said, laughing, "But I love her, too, so..."

Alistair laughed also while he nodded, "Maybe I might."

"I hope you do."

"So...Did you ask the question?" Alistair asked.

Adean looked at him confused, then he got it, going "Oh..."

"No, I haven't."

"When are you?"

After he asked that, Bella walked in.

"Nevermind." Alistair said.

Adean chuckled as he stood up to embrace Bella.

"Morning, Beautiful, Sleep good?" Adean said, his arms on her hips.

"Yes, I did." She replied, wrapping her arms around his neck, "You?"

"Better than I did during the Blight." He said with a smile.

She smiled back, "I did too."

Then Bella pulled him in for a Morning Kiss. They only separated for air.

"Awwwwwe. I ought leave you two lovebirds alone." Alistair told the two, grinning.

Adean and Bella chuckled.

"Maybe, Maybe not." Adean told him, grinning, "But I'm still hungry."

The two let each other go as they sat down.

Alistair took a bite, Adean did the same.

"Hungry, My Dear?" Adean asked Bella.

"I can't say no." Bella replied, smiling.

Adean nodded and smiled, "What do you feel like having?"

"Some Eggs, Bacon, and maybe pancakes." She said as she shrugged.

Alistair chuckled, "That's a good combination."

"Yeah, It is." Adean agreed, "Alright, I'll be right back." He said as he stood.

Adean left to room to go get Bella her breakfast.

"He's a good man." Alistair told her.

"He is." Bella agreed.

"What do you like the most about him?"

"What is there not to like? The thing I love the most is his Love alone, and what he does for me." She said as she smiled lovingly at the thought.

Alistair nodded, taking another bite, "He's going to do more than that."

"What do you mean?" Bella asked.

Alistiar chuckled, "You'll see."

She was confused, but she dismissed the lecture. Adean just walked in with a tray.

"Here you go, My Lady." He told her as he sat her tray of food down in front of her.

The smell of fresh bacon got her hungry even more, along with her stomach grumbling.

Adean chuckled at the sound, "You are hungry." He said as he sat down.

She nodded in agreement as she dug in. She started off with the Bacon.

"Damn, That smells good." Alistair commented.

"Don't try to steal it, or she'll rip your hands off." Adean told him, grinning.

"I'll take your word for it." Alistair replied, chuckling.

Bella smiled at him, "I Might take your arm."

"I need my arm." Alistair told her.

Adean smiled, "Maybe, I'll need to leave you two lovebirds alone."

"Please Don't." Was Alistair's response, gaining a chuckle from Bella.

Adean laughed, Eventually, Bella joined in, then Alistair.

It was Noon, And Adean thought it was time.

He was in his room, putting his boots on at the edge of the bed, then Bella walked in.

"There you are, I was wondering where you was." She said with a smile.

Adean chuckled, "Well, here I am." He sat up, done with his boots, then stood up.

She walked over to the Grey Warden slowly, foot In front of foot. When she reached him, she pushed him gently onto the bed, then she climbed on him, face to face. Gaining a smile from Adean. He moved her glorious red hair behind her ears. She came down in him with a passionate kiss.

"Have I told you how much I love you?" Adean asked when they separated.

"I don't know. Have you?" She asked back, smiling.

"I think I did, but it's not enough." Adean replied.

She smiled at him, "I love you."

He did the same, "I love you too."

She kissed him again.

"You don't know how good your lips feel on mine." Adean told her, sighing happily, "But I have news."

"What kind of news?" She asked.

"The good kind."

"Ok, What is it?"

"The House is Finished."

Her face lit up in delight then, again, came down on him with a deep passionate kiss.

Adean chuckled afterwards, "Want to go see it?"

"Yes!" Was her eager response.

He chuckled again as she climbed off of him, and he got back up.

Bella was in tears of Joy. She dreamed, but she had not expected it to become reality. She threw her arms around the man who made it possible, who was laughing heartily.

"Like it?" Adean asked, he knew it was an obvious question with an obvious answer.

"Yes! I love it!" She said when she released him, wiping her tears away.

"Wanna go inside?"

"Please!"

Adean chuckled as they held hands and went inside.

The Two stepped outside.

"It's...amazing!" Bella told him, once again in tears.

"Just like you." Adean replied.

She smiled at him, "No, It's Not me, It's you."

Adean chuckled, "No, You are." He said as they shed distance between each other.

Bella wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his hands on her hips, looking into her eyes.

"There's...something I have to tell you." Adean told her, his heart was aching, having to tell her this.

"What is it?" She asked, seeing the fear in his eyes.

"You know about the Grey Wardens, right?"

She nodded in acknowledgement.

"I won't make it to old age."

"What do you mean?" She asked, but this time, with concern.

"After The Joining, I get thirty years to live." He croaked, his tears reaching to his eyes.

He wanted to live his life with Bella, but being a Grey Warden, it will prevent him from living it to the fullest. He'll have to make-do with what he's got.

He saw her own, he could tell she was trying to hold them back, For his sake.

"When my time comes, I'll start having nightmares." He told her, unable to hold back his tears.

Her tears were visible now, showing the love she had for him, hearing about this is taking a toll on her.

"But I plan on spending the rest of it with you." He said as he smiled.

She smiled back, despite her tears, then she reeled him in for a Kiss.

There you have it!
