This story isn't getting very many reviews :( It's sort of depressing...OH WELL :D Onto the story :)
That morning Anders got up early and sat over on the side of the bed. He rubbed his back and his side. He thought to himself, "This kid has got a good aim and kick." Anders looked over at his pregnant lover. He smiled as she was cuddling up to the pillow he placed beside her. "My love...", he whispered to himself in a loving voice. Anders placed his hand gently on her belly and rubbed it softly. "My baby girl."
Hawke looked down to see a very fatherly Anders kissing on her belly. "I hope you know kissing on my stomach is not a good source of foreplay." Anders jumped and backed up swiftly. "I was just talking to the baby..."
Hawke laughed softly and sat up. She wrapped her arms around Anders from behind, kissing his neck and jaw. "Today is the day, my love." Hawke looked up as he spoke and frowned. "I know this is something you have to do Anders, but I...", she trailed off, looking at the floor. Anders put a finger under her chin, and lifted her face to meet his. "I will be fine. Justice assures my safety. He is happy to have this happen. He is happy to have a mage family under his care. Him and I share the same feelings toward this family. He feels apart of it as well as I do."
Hawke smirked, "Oh course. Justice can be the mad uncle, oh wait. Gamlen had that part." Anders chuckled, "Justice found that amusing, as do I. Now, unless you're going to make mad love with me again this morning, I will get dressed." Hawke frowned slightly, "Can we stay in bed a few moments longer?" Anders nodded and Hawke took that as a moment of action.
Hawke laid Anders down and laid down next to him. She still noticed his hair was up. She shook her head and pulled it out gently, letting his hair fall. Anders laughed slightly, "You do realize I now have to put that up again." Hawke shrugged and ran her fingers through it gently. Anders smiled with satisfactory. "You know just what I love my dear."
Anders put a hand on her belly and rubbed it gently. "Any names?" Hawke raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Well...Angel?" Anders nodded, "It's beautiful."
All of a sudden a knock was heard at the door. "Hurry up in there Blondie. They're calling for you." Anders sighed and got up. Hawke got up slowly only to see Anders getting dressed and reaching for his staff. Hawke got dressed as Anders put his hair. "Anders?"
Anders turned to his love and walked toward her. Hawke wrapped her arms around him tightly, "Please don't die...I need you in my life. Our baby needs you. I want you to come back," the tears started falling down her cheeks, "I want to wake up with you for the rest of my life. I don't want to be a widow.." Anders wrapped his arms around her and kissed her tears away, "I will come back. I will come back for you and our baby. Promise me though, if I don't come back, not to cry too much and to tell our child about me. Tell her daddy died for her and her children. I died for a cause greater than us all."
Hawke cried even more as Anders held her close and he kissed her with a mighty passion. Hawke wiped away her tears. "I love you Anders. I always will."
Anders smiled and reached out from behind his back, "I know, and I shall always love you...". he turned away from her, grabbing something out of his pocket and kneeling down. "When I come back, I want you to marry me. Make me the happiest man alive."
Hawke put her hands up to her mouth, "I can't believe it...Wh-...I...I will!" Anders stood up and hugged her tightly. "Thank you sweetheart. You've made me the happiest man alive." Hawke smiled and nodded.
Anders walked into the throne room with Hawke's hand in his. He saw everyone saying they're good-byes. Alistair was hugging his children and his wife. It was a sweet moment. Anders knew that would be him and Hawke one day.
Alistair stood up and looked at Anders, "Are you ready?" Anders nodded. "Varric..." Varric walked up to Anders and Hawke. "Yeah, Blondie?"
Anders put Hawke's hand into Varric's. "Take care of her." Varric smiled and looked at Hawke, then at Anders. "Of course. You know that Rivaini and I will take care of her." Anders smiled, "I know." Isabella walked over to Hawke and took her other hand. "We have this Anders."
Carver looked up and walked to them, "Sister, I give you something for the baby..." Hawke looked at Carver with a puzzled look. Carver pulled a small pink rattle out of his pack. "I bought it yesterday. If I don't come back you can tell her stories." Hawke smiled and hugged Carver tightly, "You have your own shadow and calling. I'm now in yours. I'm happy to call you my younger brother." Carver smirked, "Don't get soft sis. Just because you're having a baby doesn't mean you can become a girl." Hawke laughed and nodded, "When I have my baby, you know I'll be back."
Anders smiled, "Alright. Everyone. It's time to move along." Alistair nodded and motioned for everyone to head out.
After everyone left the Queen sat in a chair in the war room, with everyone sitting there. "Hawke, meet my companions from when I was an adventurer. Sten, a Qunari. He is one of my loyalist companions. He's saved me in battle many times." Hawke nodded at him. "I heard you have battle an Arishok. I am very impressed." Hawke nodded, "Thank you."
The Queen looked over at Zevran. "This is my assas-." Hawke spoke up, "I know. He landed in Kirkwall not long ago. The Crows were after him and we gave him a hand." Zevran smiled, "Again thank you." The Queen smirked, "Then this is Leliana. She used to be a sister." Leliana nodded and smiled, "It is good to protect a fabulous woman like yourself."
Hawke smiled and talked to everyone. She missed Anders already.
Anders was thinking of his beloved as well. It made him homesick. He longed to be with his love. They were engaged and to be married when he returned. He was finally going to settle down. He laughed in his mind. He couldn't believe he was actually going to settle down. It was alright though, because he loved Hawke. He loved her with all his heart and would do anything to protect her and his unborn child. Even if it meant going to war with the chantry. This was going to be a long journey. It would be worth it in the end though.
I know short chapter but I'm so swamped with extra stuff. I shall not neglect this though :) REVIEW PLZ! Tell me if you like the name Angel. I sort of want it to start with an A. Anders daughter so x3
