The Prince's arrival

Aurelia sat at her vanity, admiring herself in the mirror, Leliana did a pretty good job on her hair and the white flowers she added in a row against the chignon on top of her head. Aurelia really didn't know why she was so nervous, she was ready married to Loghain, but this time they were doing it in front of everyone, Loghain promised her a wedding and he was determined to deliver.

Aurelia's memory still failed her, a lot of her memories had been lost forever but that was fine with her, she had the important ones, marrying Loghain and her children's births were the most important and she got to feel like she fell in love with Loghain all over again.

Bryce walked into his Daughter's room, he stopped in awe at how beautiful his little girl looked, only she wasnt a little girl any more, she was a 26 year old Mother of 4. Today was the day he got to watch his Daughter get married, due to his own selfishness, he missed out on it the first time, he wasnt gonna miss it now, even though Aurelia had been married to Loghain for over 6 years, "Are you ready, Pup?"

Aurelia looked to her Father, "Yeah, how do I look?" She stood up, smoothing down her Antivan white silk and lace gown.

"Beautiful, Loghain is gonna be awestruck. Come on, you have a man waiting for you," Bryce put his arm out for her to take.

"Have you seen him?" Aurelia asked as she took his arm.

"I have, he has gone between, happiest man in the world to nervous wreck, several times all morning."

"I'm a nervous wreck!"

"Why, you're already married to him, you lost your memory and fell in love with him all over again. I think you were meant to be."

Aurelia looked at him in surprise, "I'm surprised to hear you say that."

"I admit, Pup, I was wrong, he's a good man who worships the ground you walk on and adores his children."

"He will adore his grandchild too."

Bryce looked at her in confusion, " What grandchild?"

Aurelia smirked, "You'll see."

Bryce escorted Aurelia to the palace ball room, Zevran and Anders stood by the doors, "Well dont you 2 look devilishly handsome," Aurelia said with a wink.

"You look devastatingly beautiful, my lady," Zevran kissed her hand.

Aurelia hugged Anders, "Dont make me cry, its my wedding day."

"I have the hankies at the ready, just in case, now go and get married...again," Anders and Zevran opened the double doors and the music started.

Loghain stood at the altar with Maric stood next to him, "She should be here soon."

Maric laughed, "Maker, why are you so nervous?"

"Because I'm marrying a woman 27 years younger than me."

"You've been married to her for 6 years, Loghain, you have 4 children together."

"Yes, she also lost all memory of ever being with me."

Maric rolled his eyes in frustration, "Yes and she fell in love with you all over again."

"I wonder how I managed that."

"Loghain, you proposed to her and she was so happy so couldn't answer for ages, dont you dare doubt her love again," Maric turned as he heard the music start.

Loghain's heart lurched as he turned around, ready to receive his bride, then he saw her and everything else faded away, she was all he could see. He turned to Maric, who gave him a grin in return, "You lucky bastard," Maric whispered.

Aurelia got to her groom, giving him a kiss on the cheek, "You look edible," She whispered.

"So do you," He whispered in return.

After an emotional ceremony, the party had started, Aurelia had been dragged away by her friends, leaving Loghain with his. "So Loghain, any more children?" Cailan asked, knowing full well it annoyed Loghain immensely.

"No, we don't want any more. Is Anora ok?"

Cailan looked over to his wife, "I have asked many times, she assures me, but I'm not convinced."

Aurelia approached them, "Cailan, I think you best take Anora to bed, its nearly time."

"Time for what?" Cailan asked confused.

"You'll see," Aurelia walked away with a wink.

Anora walked over to Cailan, clutching at her stomach and sweating, "Cailan, I dont feel so good, my stomach hurts."

Cailan scooped his Wife into his arms and carried her to the bedchamber, Loghain sent Anders up to check on Anora.

Anders entered the room, "Ok, your majesty, just lie back and I'll do some spells," Anders moved his hands all over Anora's stomach and seemed bemused.

"What is it?" Cailan asked.

"Errrrr, well, the Queen is in labour."

"What!" Cailan's legs nearly buckled with the shock, "Are you sure?"

Anora felt a powerful concentration hit, "I think he's sure," She grunted through gritted teeth.

Cailan sat on the bed next to his wife, his arm around her, "Well, I guess, we better get this baby out," Cailan still couldn't wrap his head around the idea.

"Your majesty, whenever you feel the pain, bear down," Anders positioned himself between her legs.

Anora pushed hard, clutching on to Cailan, "It really hurts, Cailan."

"I know, but you can do it, there's nothing you cant do," Cailan wiped the sweat off of his wife's forehead, he kissed her gently, as she relaxed in a temporary reprieve from the pain.

Anora pushed hard again, gritting her teeth, holding in a scream, "How did Aurelia do this 3 times?"

"And with twins too. You can do it, my love," Cailan hated seeing her in so much pain, but he knew it would be over soon.

After a couple of hours and lots of pushing, Anders could finally see the head, "Ok, I see the head, not much longer now."

Anora clutched on to Cailan hard, he whispered encouragement in her ears, "Keep going, you beautiful, brave woman, you are nearly there."

"One more pushed, your majesty," Anders readied himself to take the baby into his arms.

Anora pushed as hard she could, fisting the sheets and with one final effort, she hard the strong, indignant cry. Cailan lost his breath briefly at the sight of the screaming infant, "Let us see, Anders."

Anders held the baby up, "You have a Prince."

Cailan and Anora laughed slightly, "Now we know why your breasts got bigger, Anora."

"Yes, but how did he go unnoticed?" Anora took her tiny Son in her arms, he just such utter perfection she cried with love for him, she looked at Cailan, who couldn't tear his eyes away from his Wife and Son, both perfect creatures, he was as lucky as they come, Anora's voice awakened him from his daze, "What do you think?"

"I think, he is beautiful, just like you," Cailan kissed her gently and adoringly, watching as Anora tried to get the baby to latch onto a nipple.

Anders walked into the ballroom to find Loghain and Aurelia, he approached them dancing, "I have attended to Anora."

"He's beautiful, isn't he?" Aurelia asked, smiling wide.

"Who is?" Loghain asked.

"Your grandson."

Loghain rushed away, upstairs to his Daughter, he entered the room, Anora smiled, "Come look at him, Father."

Loghain approached the bed, sitting next to his Daughter, he touched the soft baby hair on his Grandson's head, "Aurelia knew he coming."

"What do you mean?" Anora was confused, how did Aurelia know, unless she is the reason he is here, "She did this?"

The other Nobles entered the room, Maric moving to the bed to get a look at his Grandson, "Wow, he's perfect."

"He is," Eamon admired his great Nephew, he was definitely going to be blessed with both his parents looks.

"Where is Aurelia?" Anora had to know if Aurelia had a hand in this. Aurelia walked into the room, a knowing smile on her lips, "You did this?"

"I did. I am Andraste's gift after all," Aurelia approached the bed, admiring her handiwork.

"Why?" Cailan asked, still emotional.

"Because it is what you both desired, I'm quite pleased, he really is a handsome boy."

"Does this mean he will be like you?" Teagan curious to know.

"Yes, he will be like the my own children, only my children inherited my gifts, this fine young man is...call him, "Aurelia's Gift," His children will inherit it from him. Unfortunately, I cannot grant you another, but I think he is all the Heir you need."

"So what is the boy's name, Anora?" Cailan took his son into his arms, taking in his newborn smell and enjoying his warmth.

"I think he should be Prince Aurelius, since he it is Aurelia who made him."

Aurelia laughed, "I didn't make him, you did that part, I just intervened to make it possible, you really shouldn't leave your drinks laying around," Aurelia smirked at how easy it was to slip the potion into Anora and Cailan's drinks, she could almost thank Morrigan for that.

Cailan got off the bed and placed Aurelius into Aurelia's arms, "Have a cuddle, Grandma," Cailan joked.

Aurelia sat down with him, "Now listen, I know you are a gifted boy, but that doesn't mean you can be a little terror, you can wait until you're older, then you can be a big terror, unless its your Grandpas your terrorizing, that's fine. You are going to be King eventually, so listen to your parents, they are great rulers. Ferelden has been waiting for a long time, but your a Prince worth waiting for, dont let it pressure you though, you'll find your own way," Aurelia smiled at the now sleeping Prince, he was content for a few hours.

Everyone in the room felt the same emotions watching Aurelia and Aurelius together, he really was a Prince worth waiting for.

Anora had a sudden thought, "Where will he sleep? We dont have any baby things."

Aurelia scoffed, "Anders?!"

Anders carried in a beautiful cot for Aurelius, while Evina hand's where full of things he would need. Cailan took his Son from Aurelia, "So you thought of everything," Cailan laid his son down, he had a Son, he could barely believe it. He looked at Loghain and Maric smirking, "Are you impressed, Loghain? Father?"

"Why do I sense a granddad joke in there somewhere?" Loghain said to Maric.

"We get off lightly, Bryce is now great Grandpa."

"Quick, he needs his walking stick," Cailan teased.

Aurelia and Loghain eventually got to bed after the celebrations of Aurelius' birth, Loghain stripping his Wife's dress off, "So do our children really inherit your gifts?"

"They do, Aurain seems to have grasped his basics, like I did at his age."

Loghain kissed her neck, his hands travelling down her body, "Aurelius will develop his own?"

"Yes, he will be a power King and he will have his Aunts and Uncle on his side."

"No one will dare mess with Ferelden."

Aurelia pulled Loghain on the bed, "Now, I do believe we have celebrating to do."

Loghain pinned Aurelia under his weight, "My Wife deserves a special treat, since she is so beautiful and amazing," Loghain kissed her collarbone, travelling down her body.

"You forgot witty and talented," She said with a gasp.

"Mmmm, perfect too," Loghain and Aurelia got lost in each other, looking forward to many more years together in happiness, they knew together, they could overcome anything, no matter how big it was.
