So, a few days later Jen went to Anders lab she knocked on the door Anders open the door and smile at Jen" so that time year again," Jen just nodded her head Anders bent down and kissed her and told her to be careful. It would take a week for Jen and Alistair, and the kids make to Demrim it was their first night on the road they had set camp , Lynn loved it both her parents were together and they were a real family now Lynn just got her plate of food that she got to taste her father infamous Ferelden lamb stew she looked around the campfire at her family and stated " Mommy and Daddy are the two of you back together because I like family time," Alistair turned red looked at his daughter he wink at her as they heard Jen choking on her food. Jen looked at her daughter in shock Alistair instated that all share a tent for warmth he wanted his whole family with him. Lynn got up she sat up she looked over at her brothers and sister were between both of their parents she shook Duncan wake and told him in his ear "get Al up, and I will get Jess." Lynn got Jess up as soon as they let the tent she nodded her head Jess throw a small fireball at the fire pit which it causes to flame up. Lynn knew her little sister was stronger what she lead on Jess just nodded her head "I am ok sissy "Duncan had Al by the hand all four sat down around the fire Al looked over at his sister "Why did you get us up mommy or daddy will be mad because it's the middle of night and you made sissy use her magic," Lynn considered the fire "I know that something happened between mommy and daddy to where they are not together anymore." Lynn looked over at Duncan "I heard you when you pulled real steel on dad I know the story too, you are not the only one Papa told he said Al too and me" Duncan looked the fire "he hurt mommy but he promised me that he would make that evil mage pay for what happen to us." Alistair felt it when Lynn got Jess up because he was holding Jess in his arms it woke him up when Jess let lose her magic he looked over Jen was sound sleep he just laid there and listen to his children talk outside the tent. Duncan may not have been a red head, but he had his mother temper he stood up "So why in the name of the Maker did you get us up, sissy?" Lynn looked at her brother "I want mommy and daddy together again so we can be a family," Duncan looked in the tent to make sure their parents were asleep Alistair was giggling and just laid there and play at he was sleep but after Duncan had turned his back Alistair was up and listing to the kids talking again then he heard Duncan swear worse than his mother "Fuck what in the name of Maker are you thinking sissy because of our step bitch. Bryce and Maric are not with us now and it his entire fault." Lynn crossed her arms and looked at her brother "No it's not I heard all the adults saying the bitch got someone to control daddy and he really did not want to hurt us dad loves all of us and beside in the book I read there are people who called blood mages, and they like to hurt others," Duncan snarled at his sister "the only reason why you are on his side because you want to be Templar like him. Maybe if he were real Templar maybe mommy's heart would not be pieces and…" Lynn fired back "Shut the hell up Duncan I seen him with our brothers in that building he cries over our little brother." Al and Jess looked at each other because they were like their father peacemakers Al got in front his sister and Jess got in front of Duncan. Jess looked Duncan he looked at his sister "what you took daddy side too you are the one see Bryce and Maric in the fade," Jess reached out touched her brother "I know. But he still our father I bet if you ask him he loves all of us," Lynn fired back "See even Jess loves him" Al was trying to keep Lynn from fighting with their brother" Sissy calm fuck down by the Maker why do we have to keep the two you from fighting if mommy and daddy hear us they will know since we are born Grey Wardens our minds at more mature than our bodies and remember sissy you don't want dad to know that you been reading books on how to be a Templar and I don't want daddy to know I sneaking out of bed, and I saw weird things and hear strange sounds coming from daddy bedroom ," Jess and Duncan felt some tower over them Al had his back to them, Duncan and Jess looked up there was their father and he was pissed or in shock Al continued his rant " Just think a few more weeks uncle Zev will teach me the last few moves so I go find that shit head make him paid for what he did to mommy." Jess looked over at her twin "Al I don't think wise to keep cussing anymore because…." Then Al heard his full name "Alistair Fergus Cousland Theirin." Al turned around to see his father looking the all four them with shock he sat down and looked at his children who were not acting like your typical three and half years. Lynn across her arms over her chest "Good daddy now you know," Alistair looked Lynn he was in shock that Lynn could read at her age and she wanted to be Templar and Al was sneaking out of bed and see and hearing weird things from his room he turned red thinking about what his son had seen and heard over the last time they stayed with him and Jess threw that fireball with ease and she did not pass out from casting a spell. Alistair felt Lynn hand on his arm "daddy, please don't tell mommy," Alistair looked at all four his children "Alright four you what is going on?" Jess came over and sat down in her father lap "daddy sissy wanted to become Templar like you well you know Duncan and Al rouges like mommy and me papa told me I was never allowed to tell mom he been teaching me to be battle mage instead of a healer I can only do simple healing spells" and Jess smiled up at her father, for the next hour Alistair just sat there and talked to his children, Jess started fall back to sleep in her father arms he looked down at Jess" all right the three you back to bed we still other couple days on the road before we get to the capital."

Alistair and Jen let the kids ride their horse they were taken a nap break because all four them had fallen sleep in their parent's saddles Alistair had the girls laying on his legs, and Jen had the boys and looked up "Alistair you been quite for the last few days let me guess the kids let you on their secrets that they are playing the parts of your typical three and half years old." Alistair looked at Jen "you know?" Jen smiled at him" of course I do they are my children after all." They made back to Demrim the next day Jen saw her brother at main gate of palace all four kids smile at their Uncle and spoke in one voice "Uncle Fergey," he smile at them help the kids off the horse out nowhere there was Jen mabari Max he was older Alistair just got his horse he bent down looked at the old war dog " Hey Max long time no see," went down to pet him Max raised his eyebrow and turned around to make sure Alistair knew what he met that mean human could kiss his ass because he turned around made sure Alistair got to see his ass . As soon as Jen got off the horse Max waited until she got down the next she knew Jen had 80-pound lap dog in her lap licking her Jen smile "Hey Max ready for our road trip?" Max got out of Jen lap and started to wag his nubby tail and gave Jen his happy bark. Jen turned around and headed down the stairs from the palace to her family estate next thing Jen knew Alistair had a hold of her arm "wherein the Marker are you going, Jen?" Jen looked at Alistair" to my family estate I really don't want to see her bitchness because she would fall down on one of my daggers and it ends up in middle of her chest beside I have to leave really earlier in mourning ok." Alistair looked at Jen brother Fergus he nodded his head Alistair shot Jen evil smile "oh did I forget to tell you, Jen, the bitchness is not here and will be gone for at least month something about spending the crown's money," Jen looked at her brother he just nodded his head in agreement. Jen did not know Alistair sent word ahead Anora was allowed to leave and go on her monthly shopping trip which took over a month to do so he did not have to see her. Jen the kids pulling her up the stairs to palace and down the royal wing to their new room that their daddy gave them. Jen walked into their room each had bed of their own Jen knew only two beds were ever used, After dinner the kids were bath and were in two beds they share with their twin Jen waited until they were sleep and head to that building where she always started she went in to her son's final resting place Jen walked over to the boys crypts and placed her hands loving on them and sighed " well it's that time again," she heard someone coming into the vault it was Fergus walked up to the crypts and place a hand on each them "well sissy it's that time year again hmmm," Jen sighed again "yep" Jen felt her brother lifting her chin up to make sure she was looking him the face " did you bring your meds right?" he got" Yes I did," then he asked did you bring that dress too?" he got " yes I did" Fergus kissed her head " just be careful and no boozes ." He got other "I understand." Fergus kissed his sister on the forehead and left. As Jen left that room she saw fits size hole in the wall she walked over to it Jen knew it was Alistair fits that made that hole in wall she turned around to walk over to her children and open both the crypts and kissed her fingers and kissed each of her sons in those crystals that her children case in. And went to bed Jen sleeps in the same room with her children. Jen got up before the rest of the palace and took a bath she took her Warden Armor place it on the armor stand and pulled out her Highever armor instead of the regular armor this was black armor it had the Cousland wreath it was not blue and green it was silver and gray. Jen put Max in his black chainmail, and she left the palace before the sun was up and started on her journey.

Alistair woke with Lynn on his chest she gave her father a big old smile" Hi daddy," Alistair looked up at Lynn "honey why are you up the sun not even up and where is your mother? Lynn looked down at her father "Mommy is already left she left her armor here too" Alistair shot up and out of bed and ran to the kids room sure enough Jen Warden armor was on the stand " the only thing Alistair got out was "shit" he turned around and into Fergus " Fergus took to one knee "morning your highness" he got up and head into the kids room Alistair spent the whole day trying to figure out why Jen left her armor behind and he had not seen Max all day he did not pay attention to it until the next day when Alistair woke up to have very young lady sleeping in his bed he rolled over to find Jess curled up against his back he hug the little girl " hey sweetheart bad dream again?" Jess sat up to rub her eyes "No I just missed mommy because I hate it when she does this. "Alistair sat up "what did mommy do?" Jess got off the bed "mommy does every year most of the time we are with Papa or Uncle Fergus because it something mommy has to do." By dinner that night Fergus was still in the palace Alistair looked up from his plate and looked at Fergus "All right Fergus were Jen at?" Fergus looked at the kids "ok the four you grow-up talk go get ready for bed I will be in soon and tell you guys a bedtime story," he made sure they were gone. He got up looked out the window "it something Jen has to do because she a women of the Coastlands," Fergus sighed "she had to take journey if a women had many tragedies in her life like my sister has had she has to go to the place where it all began, and it all ended and re-trace her steps to make sure nothing she could not keep it from happening first place," Alistair was confused "Wait what are you talking about Fergus?" Fergus came over to the table and got real close to Alistair" my sister has to go to a place where everything began and ended." Alistair looked at him and was more confused than before Fergus looked at him" it started here with your dead sons," Then dawn on Alistair what was going on he stood up Fergus" I still you as my regent and can you watch the kids please." That night Alistair rode off to find Jen

Jen started her person quest at the cave she gave birth almost 4 years ago, she looked at the entrance of the cave there were dried up lilies that she had placed over the last three years she sets new ones because she stood up there and let the tears fall because she still could not remember everything that happens to her but Jen knew this place that was her children were born two of them died. She walked up to where his camp was got on her horse and whistled for Max because he was chasing butterflies he looked up ran over to his mistress and they left that spot last year she found what was left of headless body in close on the field from what she could tell Alistair took their head off because cut went left to right. Jen kept on going a few days later she camps outside the Brecilian Forest and remembed back it was after she and Alistair got married, and they need help from the elves to stop the Blight couple of the elves she knew came out of the woods and share her fire with her. Next, her next stop was their old base camp Jen closed her eyes and could remember every detail when Alistair gave her that rose she held that rose in her hand it was still as red as the day he gave to her.

Jen knew she was close to her final stop Haven Jen pulled off the road and change into that dress she had on her it was her mourning gown within hour Jen was back in Haven every one of the homes were falling in expect for one she got off her horse and took it to the barn on her way back here Jen stop in Lothering to get some food for her, her horse and Max Jen looked outside the barn the sky had turned dark and she could hear the sound of thunder and she could see lighting in the sky she made it back to the house Jen lit a fire in fireplace she heard the sounds of the heavens opening up and it started to rain hard Jen sat down at the table and looked at the door that's where it all began she could see were her armor was press into the door and it made dents in the wood and she could see where she ran her nails down that door height of their passion. Jen looked away she looked to the fire she was lost in thought Jen thought she heard someone knocking on that door she chucked up to her own imagination. Jen heard it again this time Max was up out his place on the floor and was growling at the door. Jen picked her daggers and went to over the door. Jen open the door to see a man in soaking wet cloak he was much taller than her, with a flashing of lightning she saw who it was Jen stutter "Alistair" Alistair looked to see Jen in a black mourning gown he walked the room throw his wet cloak over a chair. Jen turned around to ask why he was there next she knew Alistair was standing over her he touched her face and started to kiss her next thing she knew Alistair had begun to pulled down her dress off her shoulders and was kissing her bare shoulders with the help of Jen Alistair was out his own wet shirt it hit the floor with wet slop he went back to kissing her bare skin he picked her up carried her over to the bed Alistair felt the bed hit the front of his knees next thing Alistair did he sat Jen on the bed was gently pushing her back on the bed he got top her and started to kiss every inch of her bare skin he began on Jen chest and kissed all the way down to her mid-section he looked at scars he made on her he kissed one and let the tears fall and he spoke in low tone "I am sorry." to every scars he found next thing he knew Jen was running her fingers throw his hair he stop long enough to pull her small off her and he started to kiss her again next thing he knew Jen was untiring his pants and she rub her hand over his smalls he was so hard next thing he knew Jen pulled out his manhood out and was running her hand up and down it, he looked at Jen he closed his eyes and prayed this was not a dream he open them again to see her under him he again he went to her ear " please love." he could see the tears running down Jen checks he was there kissing them away from her , she nodded her head he started to kiss her again next he knew Jen ring was there it was between them he tore the chain from his neck laid next to her head he reached down and pulled his small and pants down kicked them off he was back top of her again he found her core being inside of her again it was mind blowing Alistair started to cry just being this close to her again he laid his head down on her chest his need to push forward was strong he felt Jen playing his hair he got up on his elbows and started to kiss her again and he began to push forward slowly he looked down Jen she was crying he was there kissing them away from her . They spoke few word to each other expect when Jen started to moan under him. Alistair placed his arms under her hips and wrapped her legs around his midsection he went harder he did not want this to ever end but his body screaming for his release. Alistair wanted them to climaxed together like they used he could tell Jen was close he bent down told her in her ear "please love not yet." And went harder and faster inside of her he just need to hold a little bit long it made worst for him because sounds she was making under him it hard for him to not to reach his peak he felt it he was so close he bent down told Jen in her ear" love come for me please," As she did scream out in pleaser as she came he laid his head on her shoulder he was at his limited " By the Maker Jenifer I love you," as he spilled inside of her. Alistair laid his head down on Jen's chest he could tell her heart was racing under her skin he could tell Jen was playing in his hair Alistair looked up at her he was still inside of her sat up kissed her again he could tell he became hard again and they went for another round. After that round he got off Jen, he laid down next to her on his back next thing he knew Jen was laying on his chest he held her hand he reached over and grab Jen wedding ring and slipped over her finger and kissed her hand and just held her in his arms all night long.

Jen was the first one to wake up Alistair had her in death grip, and he was out cold Jen got up wrapped the blanket around herself as quite as she could she went over to her pack and found a small bag herbs she always keep in her pack she grab one her vial of medicine to keep her epilepsy in check she opened and drop the herbs in it throw it back and looked out the kitchen window and sighed told herself " Maker," next thing she heard was that Alistair up and standing over her, Alistair hug Jen" why up and out bed love because it's still too earlier." Jen touched his arm "you know what today is right?" Alistair trying to be cute "I got my wife back and won't ever let her go again," Alistair could hear Jen snickering " well that too and looked down at her ring finger and wristed her ring around her finger" she turned around" today is the real kids birthday" then it dawn him today is the day his children born and two died by his hands he sat down in the chair he looked at his hands he could see Jen blood all over them again he started to sob next he knew Jen was there and holding him " Hey my Templar it ok shhh." Alistair looked for some reason the scars on Jen mid-section had faded somewhat. He felt it when Jen reached down and touched his face "Hey you listen to me yes today is they were born but let's think about that this as new being because we have four living children I hate to say this but they are more like me than you, dear husband." Jen heard Alistair chuckle around her he looked up at her "the boys are just like you even down to mouth and fighting style. But my girls are just like me." Alistair felt Jen playing in hair and he heard her saying " I remember when young warden was talking his unborn children saying something about getting bigger sword if he had girl," Alistair stood up looked down at Jen ran his fingers down the side of Jen face " This father got two great swords and been keeping them very sharp he can use both them quickly since a cute red head prove to me it could be done, and if a suitor comes to meet his girls they get to meet me and my swords first," next thing Alistair knew Jen reached up and hug him and spoke loving in his ear " love you my Templar." The blanket that was coving Jen body fell off her body and on the floor and for some reason Alistair lost his sheet they spent the rest the day in bed, in each other arms. Alistair was sitting at the table later that day watching Jen making them something to eat Alistair had not been this happy in years, He looked out the window and spoke "Hon can we have their birthday party in Demrim please," Jen just place plate in front of Alistair he looked down at the plate "Hey when did you learn how to cook? I could remember you could burn water give a chance," Next Alistair saw a fork inches from his fingers he looked up Jen was smiling "Smart ass if that is you want?" Alistair stood up "really I get to spend their birthday with them." Jen just nodded her head Alistair went over to Jen and kissed her" thank you love." So, they headed back to Demrim the next day on the ride back Alistair found Jen hand holding his. When they made it back to the capital it was late it was almost mid-night palace was enough they made their way down the Royal wing holding each other hands their first stop was the kid's room Alistair looked down at his children sleeping each of his sons was holding their twin he looked over to Jen checking on Jess. Alistair stopped in the middle of their room that when it dawned on him, only two beds were in use. Alistair looked at his children sleeping he felt Jen grabbing a hold his hand in the dark he looked over at Jen and tiny voice not to wake the kids" Hey when they start doing that?" Jen looked at their children she began to giggle "they been doing that since the day they were born. The boys were always fussy when they were not close to their sister," Alistair turned looked down at Jen and smiled" Well Theirin men cannot stay away from cute girls from the Coastlands." And kissed Jen and took her by the hand lead her to his room she let go when she walked passed that place Alistair stopped looked back Jen was just staring at that door he knew what that room was and who it belongs too he came back and picked Jen up in his arms held her close," You will never have seen that again please I need to start to plan my children birthday party." Next morning Alistair woke to sounds of two little girls giggling he got up and saw Lynn and Jess was foot of the bed and holding each hand he sat up got off bed and put his finger to his lips and picked both them up in his strong arms laid both them down in front their mother and he climbed back in bed and held all the women he loved his strong arms. A week went by before the kid birthday party. Alistair told Jen this year he would do all the work planning and getting everything ready for the day they turned four it was planned for the following Saturday. With the help of Fergus, he got Jen to stand still for a new dress, and he had the girls each new dress made. He invited all nobles and their children.
