Agnes has learned she is expecting a baby boy again

Do you ever sit around and think “well, if nothing else at least Leonard Peabody/Harold Jenkins is alive and well in the final timeline.”

Thank goodness they defeated the family who made everyone the worst versions of themselves.

I've just finished watching Conclave and let it be known that Sister Agnes is OP and her most badass line to me was "How many copies do you require?"

Lichdom

Agi has questions about Emmrich's potential lichdom and what it means going forward. SFW.

“So, if you were a lich, then you wouldn’t need to eat anymore?” Agnes asked as she bit into her ham, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard sandwich.

He’d be undead, so…maybe?

Fuck me if I know.

Emmrich nodded, stabbing a piece of salad with his fork. “Correct, dearest! I will no longer require food or drink. Of course, in polite company, for example at a cocktail party, I can carry around an empty glass to blend in, as it were.”

She glanced at her sandwich and then at Emmrich. “Wouldn’t you miss it?” Taking a quick bite and swallowing, Agnes scrunched her nose. “Think of your favorite sandwich. One you’d run through a downpour for. One whose first bite is fucking bliss, love. You wouldn’t get to experience that anymore. It’s…” Wrinkling her nose again, she thought for a moment before continuing. “It’s those little things. Those wonderful little life things that are precious and should be cherished because they’re fleeting. But as one goes, another always follows.” Okay, enough philosophy, Agi. “I’m not sure if I’d want to spend eternity not being able to eat a sandwich, Emm.” Agnes laughed softly and was relieved when he smiled.

“As always, dearest, you give me much to consider.”

It was at that moment that she realized his gaze seemed to look through her. Like he’s very far away. Oh love… “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”

He blinked and refocused his tiredgaze back on her. “Good, darling.”

They ate in silence with the occasional longing glance and spoke no more of lichdom that night.

***

“I’m trying to think of a way to phrase this as delicately as possible. If you became a lich, then that means you…erm, can’t father children? Because you’d be undead?” Agnes asked one night in Emmrich’s library. He had procured a quite comfortable loveseat for the upper deck. “A romantic spot for only the two of us, my love.”

He nodded, not looking up from the book he was reading. “Once again, dearest, you’re correct. Some lich lords will have wards or even close companions among the living. However, I’m not aware of any having romantic attachments, let alone any with a living partner.” Emmrich noted where he left off and closed the book. He then turned his head to face Agnes, a reassuring smile crossing his extremely handsome features. “Is that something you want? A family with me?”

Be honest about what you want.

Smiling shyly, she could feel heat rising on her cheeks. “Yeah. I mean, only if you want. Obviously.”

I could easily see Manfred having the time of his undead life with a toddler. Our toddler. His eyes. My hair. Maybe named after one of his parents, if that’s something he wants. He’s already a great dad to Manfred.

Emmrich reached for her hand and brought it to his lips. “My darling girl, of course I do.” Now holding her hand in both of his, he smiled wistfully at the always sunny sky at the Lighthouse. “You have an uncanny ability to rekindle life in abandoned dreams, dearest. No matter which path I take---lichdom or remaining mortal---we shall have the family we both desire. I promise.”

Don’t become a lich.

Please.

It’s not that I don’t respect what they do.

I do!

But there’s so much here for you.

Don’t go where I can’t follow.

Please.

She freed her hand and shifted to pull him into a tight hug. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Be Rook. Don’t cry. “Emm, I love you.”

He returned the hug, gently caressing her back. “I love you too, Agnes darling.”

More than you’ll ever know.

***

The events of the past few days had made Agnes more exhausted than she felt in a long while. She was trying and failing to calm her mind as she and Emmrich sat in bed together. He was absorbed in the book he was reading, gold spectacles sitting on the edge of his nose.

Not helping that I keep having nightmares about Emmrich becoming a lich.

Always the same.

He does it, comes back, and decides that with all his new power and prestige he doesn’t want me anymore.

And then I wake up crying and tell Emmrich it’s nothing and he doesn’t believe me, and I don’t believe me, but I need to sleep and so does he…

“Darling? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He immediately closed his book and removed his spectacles, placing both on his bedside table.

She was tempted to say that it was nothing.

No.

Not this time.

Biting back a sob, she threw her arms around him. “I’m so sorry, but please don’t become a lich. Please. I don’t care what they’re telling you---you’ll lose something special, something wonderful about you, Emmrich. You won’t be you anymore…and I can’t…” I can’t lose you. I’ve only just found you, love. “I’m sorry. I know it means so much to you, and you’ve spent decades working on lichdom, and I feel so fucking awful about it…” Oh shit, I’m making his shirt all wet.

He hugged her with one hand cradling her head. “Why, my love?”

“Because it feels like I’m holding you back.” More tears fell as she sobbed. “I want you to be happy, but I want you to still be you.”

His hold on her tightened. “I wish to make something crystal clear, my dearest heart. No matter what choice I make, you’ve never once ‘held me back’ so to speak. If anything, you provide a much-needed perspective. I take everything you say with the greatest respect and love.” Emmrich pressed his lips to her crown for a brief kiss and then whispered, “How long have you had this on your mind?”

She laughed softly, despite the tears. “Since you first mentioned lichdom, if I’m being honest.”

“Ah. I see.” He snarked, the hand cradling her head now cupping her cheek. “Agi darling, you really must unburden yourself sooner. It’s not good for you to hold all this in. I worry about you.”

SHIT.

Smiling ruefully, Agnes sighed. “I’ll do better. I promise, love.” She expected him to release her, but his adoring gaze was still upon her. “Emm?”

He gave her a sweet, slow kiss and smiled. “You needn’t fear, my darling girl. No matter what happens, I choose you. I will always choose you.”

“And I choose you.”

I should see if Mum has Da’s wedding ring…

You know, for…reasons.

Important reasons.

***

“Baby!” Manfred said happily, a bone hand resting on Agnes’s swollen belly. “Baby!”

She laughed softly as she felt Emmrich move to stand behind her, chin resting on her shoulder. “The baby started kicking again, so I asked Manfred if he wanted to feel. It’s fair to say he likes his little brother or sister.”

Manfred’s gaze shifted to Emmrich. “Baby!”

“Very good, Manfred! Yes, that’s the baby. You’ll meet them in less than four months. They still need to grow inside Agi first.” He cooed at Manfred’s excited hiss. “I can’t wait either, Manfred…though that’s not to say I haven’t been enjoying this beautiful time together, my love.” He murmured, tickling her sides. Oh yes. You’ve been enjoying this quite a bit. And well, so have I.

She turned her head to give him a quick kiss. “Me too, Emm.” There’s a kick. “Oof. I think they’re saying hello, love.”

His left hand roamed slowly from her side to her belly, feeling for movement. He gasped softly and pressed a kiss to her cheek when he found our little one. Rupert for a boy. Nora for a girl. “My little darling, be kind to your mother. She deserves—”

Agnes turned her head, grinning, and captured his lips in a kiss. “A snack, please?”

A low hum escaped him as he kissed her again, more heated than previously. “Fruit and cheese, dearest? We still have one more apple.”

Besotted.

The most besotted man in Thedas, and he’s all mine.

I’m so lucky.

She nodded. “Yes, please…but first…” Turning to face him, she took his hands in hers. Her gaze met his, and as usual when she looked at him, her heart felt full to bursting with joy. “I feel as if I don’t tell you this enough…I love you, and I’m so happy. With you. With us. With everything.”

I’m so glad you chose mortality. Chose Manfred.

And while I know there will always be a regret or two lingering—

His eyes shined as he squeezed her hands affectionately. “If you are happy, my dearest wife, then so am I.” He brought her hands to his lips and kissed her knuckles on each hand, murmuring, “It’s still so wonderful to say. My dearest wife. My precious wife. My beautiful wife. My wife.”

“My wonderful, handsome, amazing hero of a husband,” she smiled before kissing him. “I adore you.”

Through all the pain and hardship, we found each other.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way, love.
