A/N much thanks to Gracie21 for helping me get through my writer's block. This is an all Fenris chapter as will be the next one. I know it's really short and im not very fond of it but I needed the filler lol sooo let me know what you think. The next chapter will be up very soon.
Denial chapter 21
Fenris left Ava's mansion quickly, wanting to pursue his own thoughts. Learning of Ava's pregnancy had his head spinning, especially seeing the way she accepted it.
His words to her were not a lie. He would gladly walk into any future to be had with her by his side. But having a child at a time like this. He shook his head clearing his mind of the possibilities that haunted him. Death and destruction followed Ava every day and now with being proclaimed the champion of Kirkwall, these things would only find them more. Could he really stick by her and allow her to go through all the dangers she did, knowing that one day he could quite possibly return to their child without her?
He turned the knob to his manor softly, slipping in through its crack and letting softly close behind him. Immediately he head for his cellar door. It was a good thing he had stocked his wine cellar. He felt as if he would need it tonight.
Taking a bottle of Antivan wine, he uncorked it and began gulping it as he made his way back upstairs to his room.
His thoughts turned in his head. Certainly this child would cause them problems, of that he would be certain. But he could do nothing about it. He remembered the joy on Ava's face hearing his words tonight.
He silently contemplated leaving her, but quickly shaking the thought away. That would do nothing but put more pressure on her.
Taking another big gulp, he continued on his thought processes when he heard the door opened downstairs.
"Hey Broody." He heard Varric's voice boom from the main hall. Growling Fenris rose from his seat leaving his bottle and thoughts behind him.
"What do you want, Dwarf?" he made no attempt to hid the anger in his eyes.
"Woah, there." Varric rose his hands and laughed, trying to break the tension. Looking up he saw the annoyance in Fenris's face. "Look, I just wanted to make sure you were ok."
"Why would I not be?" the elf growled pushing his body off the railing to better watch his visitor.
"Well, given the recent events, I figured you might be having thoughts… of a certain kind."
"That is none of your concern." With that Fenris turned around and went back into his room, listening intently, making sure his visitor had left. Taking the bottle in hand again, he soon became lost in his thoughts.
A/N so as we see Fenris is beginning to question things and some of their companions have noticed. But hey Varric sees all! Lol the next chapter is skipping about 8 or 9 months ahead because lets be honest why the hell would hawke fight while she's pregnant? Lol read and review!
