(Months later)

Solas had gotten the hang of taking care of crane and I got recovered, Fenris and Hawke split up but are still best friends, they just felt it to be weird. But they got a friend..New I suppose her name is. And I heard this "New" brought another slave to them. Da'ra. She sounded to be in rough shape, silent, won't look someone in the eye and cleans everything. But Fenris is working with her Hawke said..might even have a soft spot for her. But it's been months since I last heard

"Momma?" I hear

"Yes crane?"

"Where's dad?"

Solas walks in and picks him up

"Right here de'len.." he tells Crane

"Will you show me how to paint a tree?" He hiccups

Solas chuckles and walks out with Crane, leaving me to my thoughts when I hear a familiar voice pipes on.

"I need building equipment" the snow haired elf says flatly

"What ever for fenris?"

"The slave..we have grown close. She deserves everything and that will start with a house" he straightens and becomes serious

"You think I can help? Talk to Cory or varric"

"Ariel, you are the only one who thinks i am not a idiot for this..please"

I think for a minute then sigh

"Fine"

...

I help Fenris cut down trees and make space for the house when I hear a kinda higher pitched voice of a girl call out his name. Turning I see the shortest yet cutest elf woman ever, she had black hair that was even more curly then mine,Black kinky curly hair, really long. Deer like Vallaslin, in black. Plump lips, but not too big. She has a sweet face, that makes her look a bit younger than she is. Her ears have notches taken out of them, and she has scars everywhere, but only a few VERY noticeable ones. she's got a bit of a tan. Her eyes are really really green.

"Da'ra..what are you doing out here?" Fenris asks

"Bringing you lunch..who's..this?" She asks hiding her face

"Ariel, she's the one I'm helping"

"Hi" I wave

She hands him the lunch and smiles, he ruffles her hair and she scrunches up her nose, they were cute together.

"So when are you going to tell me what spooning is?" She asks

He awkwardly laughs and smiles while leading her away, I laughs and continue the work.

(CORY POV)

I sat in the tavern casually as I waited for Cullen, it was not too long ago we married. And got a dog.

As I look over I see Sandy and Krem flirting..guess we found who the lucky date was.

"Stupid dog! I said sick them not lick them!" I hear the familiar voice making my ear twitch

Cullen walks up looking at the dog in disapproval.

"I'm guessing he will not be a guard dog?" I ask

"Not at this rate, he just too loveable"

"Maybe he would work better with kids?" I ask while petting him

"Hmm I guess he could help with the mom's around here...or are you hinting something"

"I want kids" I say flatly

"Oh, I didn't think the inquisitor needed kids? At least that's what she said when she was younger" he laughs

"Well, I want them" I stand up

"Sure? Alright" he smiles

(ARIEL POV)

as we finished I looked around and wipe the sweat from my forehead.

"Good job Ariel..we have a good bit cleared and enough wood for it" Fenris says looking happy

"I think you'll do good"

(Back at skyhold)

I collapse on the bed from exhaust, Solas comes and rubs my back without question and I sigh into the pillow.

"Are you tired?" Solas laughs

"Yes...very"

"Ma vhenan?" he whispers ruffling my hair

"Yes"

"When will we tell Crane that he is not  our kid by blood?"

"Soon..very soon" I reply

"We shouldn't lie to him, about who we are" Solas replies

"Yeah like you haven't done that before" I laugh

"..please don't bring that into this, I was only-"

"Trying to protect me..i know" I finish

"He come of age I think you could tell him"

I sit up and sigh..maybe it is time

...

I walk in Cranes room and smile at him playing, then frown upon remembering what I was there for.

"Hi momma!"

"Crane..i need to talk to you about something..you see I am your mom..will always be..but. I wasn't your first mom" I explain terrible

"What are you talking about?" He asks

"Ugh I'm trying to say..okay so you know how most mom's 'have' their babys?" I ask

He nods

"Well see with you I didn't..someone else did.."

"What?! Your not my mom!?" He freaks

"Yes I am, I raised you so there for I am still your mother but-"

"What about dad?!"

"He's still your dad"

"And..my real mom? Where is she?" He asks on the verge of tears

It feels like a punch in the throat when he says "real mom" as if I didn't partly raise him, can't blame him though.

"Back when the bad guy tore a hole in the sky and aunt Cory defeated him I saved you from a bolder landing on you..but for your mother.." I trail off

He sits sadly, making me feel bad. But he had a right to know.
