Ch.2 Wrong Side of The Bed

(This Ch. has 1218 word's)

[Yawn... oh man did I sleep through entire day, oh well why is it so dark in here "Hey Resh why is it do dark in my room."] Indistint voices from what sound's like a great distance away. ["The hell, who's there I know karate and i ca... AHHHH what was that, there's something sticking out of my belly, RESH WHERE ARE YOU AND WHERE THE FUCK AM I AT, I DON'T LIKE THIS, SOMEONE HELP I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED, Oh no I I'm i'm getting slee...!"] Zane blacks out due to overexertion.

"Oof they are really at it today isn't he dear, feel them. They're hitting and kicking up a storm almost as if they knows they are due soon. Fergus did you feel them, after they are out and runing about it's your job as the older brother to lead as an example. You have to show them what to do and not to do, do you understand sweetie."

"Yes mama I understand i'll be the best brother ever and protect them with my sword of truthiness."

"I have faith that you will my son, now go fetch your father I need to speak with him, go go."

"Yes mama, i'll be right back with papa and you little one stop kicking mama so much."

"Hahaha go on I think I can manage them on my own for a little while."

Fergus runs out of the room going down several halls till he arrives at the main chamber where he sees two men.

A tall man with pale skin and blonde hair with a few traces of grey (pretty sure his hair is black but what ev's), his father, The Teyrn of Highever Bryce Cousland in a heated debate with the families friend Arl Rendon Howe of Amaranthine, a man with a sickining grin alway's on his face, on how to keep the road's clear of wild beasts'.

The Arl is suggesting laying traps while Teyrn is suggesting finding the problem and solving it at its roots.

"Rendon your way not only has the beasts' suffering it is also inefficient and costly the road's between Denerim and here are long while I believe it is best to find out what is driving the beast's towards us."

"While it is a very cost efficient it is a most timly endeavor too and besides our men are more likely to be harmed along the way."

"You speak some truth howe, *sigh* what is it you want so I may recieve your help"

Rendon looking as if he was just insulted on groundless accusation "Bryce you offend me so, but alas there is truth in your word's as well. I propose a marriage between our families.

I know Eleanor is due any time now so i'm thinking of merging our families, if the child is anouther boy we can arrange for my daughter Delilah and him to be engaged if they are a girl than my youngest son Thomas.

I'm aware that you Couslands like to leave matter's of love to the persons' themselves but think about it, apart we're two of the biggest families but together we would be 2nd only to the king."

Bryce stops to ponder upon the idea for a few minutes before he responds by saying "we will see I can't promise anything but if they are around each other enough it could blossom into something and I will nudge the child however I can, but howe that is all I can do about the matter.

Besides i'm pretty sure i'm already second"

Howe trying his best to keep cool "Haha (insert dry laughter) Not exactly what I disired but I suppose I see where you are coming from.

Fine if you plant the seed of marrige into the child then I suppose that will be enough of course you will still be paying me and my men for our hard work"

Fergus seeing a lull in the conversation of the adults run's over saying "Papa! Mama asked me to fetch you she's being beaten up by that bad baby that's inside her"

"Oh is she now, well we can't have that, lead me to her Fergus i'll give the child a piece of my mind. Howe we will go over the detail's pertaining to today's talk tomorrow i'm sure you know your way around the castles and if you would like something to eat just let one of the servant's know they bring it to your room goodnight."

"Yes goodnight Bryce i'm looking forward to tomorrow's discussion even more."

As Fergus and Bryce walk back towards Eleanor the smile on Howe's face slowly slips off being replaced by a sneer so ugly you'd think it gave birth to trolls

[Those fucking Couslands always acting like they are better than all the rest just because their ansestors helped the king, well so what, so did mind. I swear if I ever get the chance I will wipe them off the face of Thedas then there would be one less Teyrn in Ferelden. MWAHAHAHAHA!]

Unbeknownst to the happy family on how their fate was almost sealed by a power-crazed, and jealous man, they gather together laughing and playing with each other when all of the sudden Eleanor moans and the sound of liquid hits the floor. Bryce surprised but already been through this once before, call's for a gaurd to get the resident Priestess Mallol

*Or it can be considered Mother Mallol as well but this is 20 years before the start of the game so it's Priestess for now*

A middle aged woman with black hair put up in a neat bun on top of her head walk's in asking "My Teyrn how may I be of servise"

"Eleanor's water broke the baby is on it's way"

"Already but the child isn't due for another couple of week's yet"

"yes I know which is why I called for you as you have more experince. Speaking of which GUARD"

"Yes my Teyrn"

"Go fetch Nan here as well we already decided she would be the child's Nanny she might be of help."

"Of course my Teyrn."

After a short wait a woman of short stature and few wrinkles walks in. She immediately started acting without even being spoken to.

Without turning around she asks "My teyrn can you please leave the room with the boy? Mallol and I will take care of the lady and you'll know if you've brought a boy or girl into this world within a few hour's."

"Yes thank you I will try to keep myself away but no promises. Dear i'll be right outside if you need me. I love you."

"I love you too, I hope it's a girl we already have fergus but if it's a boy i'll love him all the same."

"I know, now i'll leave before you start throwing me around."

Bryce takes Fergus outside the room and say's to his son " Fergus my boy remember one thing if you ever have children, stay far away from your wife when she is giving birth or else." Bryce stop's for a moment and is visibly shivering before he continues "or else you will have nightmare about the day for years"
