I wanted to wait just a little bit to post the last chapter but I so close to finishing that I just couldn't wait! So without further ado, here is the very last chapter to Unexpected!

Disclaimer: I do not own DA! Damnit!


When Cerene, Hawke, and Anders all came to they – save for Anders – found themselves under worried and anxious stares from both Fenris and Sebastian. Apparently they had all been unconscious for half a day, thrashing about in their sleep, and just before they all woke up, both Cerene and Anders had flashed brightly – he blue, Cerene red. Swallowing, Hawke swung up from the bed and took her daughter into her arms. Sitting beside Anders, she then began to long process of explaining exactly what had happened.

When it was all said and done, Hawke's chest threatened to explode with pride as she saw Fenris shake hands with a very perplexed Anders. "I may never have liked you, or agreed with your choices," the elf started as he released the mage's hand, "but I owe you thanks for saving my family."

And just like that, Anders had become a part of their odd little family. Sebastian had set him up in a small home just outside the large manor where they all resided, not entirely trusting the mage enough to be where they all slept; in time that prejudice would fade as well. The months passed uneventfully. Anders had returned to his normal self, Justice finally gone allowing the mage to live his life. He didn't go out much and never ventured far from the main home or his own; his face was still known everywhere as the mage who'd set the circles all over Thedas afire by first reducing the chantry of Kirkwall to ashes. No one knew that hadn't really been him, but there was no way they could explain that to anyone and have them believe that. Instead, he offered to stay and watch after Hawke during her pregnancy.

Hawke got bigger day by day, week by week, and after six months she was worried she was getting too big. She'd asked Anders to check her and was astounded when the mage's warm amber eyes had looked into her own as he chuckled softly behind his hand, muttering that poor Hawke would be having two babies this time. She couldn't believe it and not surprisingly, neither could Fenris. At first her husband thought the mage had been playing a morbid joke on them but as Hawke got bigger and bigger, they took to heart that Anders really had been telling the truth. She was indeed having twins. Just like her mother before her, she'd had one child – a daughter – and now twins; the very same as her mother if it turned out to be a boy and a girl.

Not totally surprisingly, that's exactly what happened to Hawke. Just like Leandra Hawke, Necroditei had an eldest daughter and two twins, a son and a daughter. Anders delivered both of them without complaint, rather happily, much like his old self these days. He cut their cords, passed one to Sebastian and the two of them cleaned the babes up before putting cloth nappies on them, swaddling them up, and taking them to their anxious parents. Fenris held their newborn son, looking down in awe at his very first son. Hawke smiled and mumbled a thanks to Anders, who smiled in return, cleaned her up best he could and then took the now eleven-year-old Cerene from the room, despite her protests. Sebastian followed them, softly shutting the door behind him once he'd slipped from the room.

"It seems to have happened again," Hawke murmured softly as she laid her head against Fenris' shoulder as he sat beside her on the bed. They both leaned back against the headboard, content to hold their newborn children. "Mm?" Fenris briefly leaned his head back to look down at Hawke. She lifted her head and laughed softly, nodding it in direction of the twins.

"Cerene got everything from you except her hair," she said, touching a hand to her newborn daughter's snow white hair. She glanced at their son who too had the white strands atop his newborn head. The twins stared back at them with cerulean oceanic eyes, exact mirrors to their mother's eyes. "Seems the twins got everything from you except their eyes this time," she said with a small laugh. Fenris looked between the two, who stared back happily, waving their little hands at them. Then he too laughed softly.

"It appears that way," he admitted. "What shall we call them?"

Hawke found herself looking down at her daughter's snow white hair with a knowing smile. "I'd like to call her Snow Leandra Hawke, if that is alright with you, love." She said, letting her newest daughter wrap her tiny fingers around her pinky.

"It's perfect, minx, goes very well for what I had in mind for our son," he chuckled, kissing the top of his wife's head. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her to him. "This little warrior is Leto Carver Hawke."

She jerked in surprised, having to rock Snow a bit as she protested the sudden movement. Hawke turned wide eyes up to Fenris, her brows arched so high he thought they would shoot right off of her head. "Leto?" she asked, her voice cracking. "I didn't think that was something you wanted to remember."

"It wasn't at first," he admitted as he pulled her close again, smiling with amusement when he saw that both the twins had fallen asleep. "When I first remembered my name, I didn't want to remember that part of my life. It was my past. But it is something I would like to honor. If I hadn't become Fenris, I never would have met you and been given this amazing, beautiful family." He kissed her head and smiled a little nostalgically. "We honored your sister with Cerene, your mother with Snow, and I would like to honor your brother with Leto; they were all taken from you cruelly and unjustly. It's only right we hold them in our family."

He felt Hawke tremble and knew without looking that tears were sliding down her cheeks. "Thank-you Fenris, for everything."

As they rested there in that bed with their two newest children, Fenris couldn't have been happier. His every mistake, his every misstep, had led him to this beautiful woman, Necroditei Hawke, who had gone through nearly as much as he. Despite his continued missteps, she gave her most precious gift to him; herself. Cerene, Snow, Leto, and Hawke; he wouldn't trade his beautiful, perfect family for every treasure in all of Thedas, nor the greatest power in all the world.

His life had been Hell for so long, but that painful road she and he had both walked, had led them directly into Heaven.


It was short but the story is finally done! And thus concludes Unexpected; I hope you enjoyed reading Hawke and Fenris' story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Thank-you all again for your continued reviews and kind words! :)
