Since they left the palace Jen stop eating from others told him wardens and their appetites were monstrous all most inhuman Anders watched as Jen started to wither way because she had her heart broke and her soul shatter in matter of few weeks he knew he had to keep moving, or the Templar's would find him, but as a healer he could not leave this woman like the way she was. He just held her in arms as the made it to Jen family summer home as the group pulled up to the estate Jen looked at the property. Jen spoke for the first time in days it was not women who saved his neck she sounded like she was dying inside" great more heartache" He helped Jen out of the wagon Jen heard her name "my Lady Cousland Thank the Maker you still live." Jen looked up to see the house Stuart for the first time in weeks Anders saw Jen smile" Old man James." Everyone watch was this old man came to the wagon he was half elf he was dress in simple tunic shirt and pants. He ran down the stairs to Jen hug her he looked around the people who brought Jen home. He knew Teagan and Eamon, but everyone else in his eyes was shaded bunch of hooligans.
James took Jen hand lead her up the grand staircase in to her summer home as other went inside they saw Jen she was staring portrait and she was crying because who was in that portrait was her whole family Leliana and Morrigan ran to Jen just held her in their arms, next thing everyone knew Jen had stopped crying with the strongest voice she could "Welcome all to my summer home make yourself comfortable as there are with more than thirty rooms you can pick there are only two wings she nodded to the left that is the west side then Jen nodded to right that is east wing. Jen pulled her to skirt and head down the main hall to her old room, after she closed her bedroom door and she fell to the floor and started to cry she knew her children knew she was upset because here lately they were awake during the day and they all were sleep for her at night she rub her bump and told her children " mommy loves you guys so much" she started to cry again she heard someone knocking on her bedroom door she stood up she and wipe away the tears and open the door to see Anders giving her a warm smile" which room down this hall I can take because as healer my kind lady I need to stay close to you and those little ones," pointed at Jen bump for the first time in weeks this mage or man-whore made Jen smile Jen looked at Anders" take my brother's old room and can you do me a favor lose the dress please."

They follow Jen out back door and down a small hill to a garden before they got there everyone could smell lavender and lilac in the air then they saw it was grove of cherry trees and they were in full bloom there was gazebo and around it was lavender shrubs and their bushes of lilac and around the walkway that lead to were purple lilies and when the breeze came up Jen could smell the ocean and old man James vanilla crop then hit Jen were she was, and she started to cry next thing Jen knew Zev came behind her and asked her in her " why cry here my warden this beautiful spot," he heard Jen between the sobs" I just thought about what my mother would tell me right now as big as I am she would be disappointed that I got myself into this mess and the eyes of the court I am a …." Before she could finish, Zev turned Jen around made her look him in the face "How dare you to think that you are not." As the weeks pass Anders stayed close to Jen and the closer he became to her after the fourth week he had Jen Warden size plate of food was taking to her spot in the garden he told her she did not start to eating again he would use her throwing dagger and dice up everything into mush and force feed her. As he begun to walk outside to the garden, he heard Zev from the shadows he was smiling" Oh you got it wrong Anders you love her don't you." Anders looked at Zev "I don't know what you are talking Zevran? I don't tie myself down to one lover and love is just a game in the world of mages and Templar's." Zev looked at Anders and started to laugh "yes you do, and you are not the only one who wants to heal her broken heart." As he went back into the shadows again Anders looked outside then it hit him he was falling for her and fast. Anders stayed with Jen she until she was done eating as he headed back into the house Leliana was there "we need to talk to you," and they head to the office that Eamon was using he walk into the room everyone was there" This is wrong Maker what is he thinking?" We are dealing with darkspawn horde now he and his queen want to take a small tour of Ferelden, and their first stop is here "Anders adds his voice to the group "what? I just got her to starting eating again if she sees him she might spiral into a desperation so deep no one could pull her from it." So, they made up their minds up as the King, and his new Bride was there they would do everything they could do keep Jen away from Maric and Anora.
