Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...
What the...? It's 1 am! Who the hell is calling at this hour?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...
Robb Stark opened one eye to glare at his cell phone which refused to shut up. Next to it on the night table was a family picture so he did a mental rundown:
Jeyne is right here next to me where she should be and the baby monitor is peacefully quiet, Jon would never call; if it's an emergency he'd try to take care of it himself but then again it could be Theon, if something was wrong he'd want me to know immediately, sorta... It's 1 am, pass bedtime for Sansa and her required 8 hours of beauty sleep and Bran has never bothered me in his life. That only leaves two suspects...
Robb groaned dreading to find out what had Rickon done this time, it had to be him! He was the only child left living in the house and Arya had cleaned up her act since she became a lawyer, well... Gendry cleaned it for her but it's the same thing. These days Arya only fought inside the courthouse.
"Stark..." He answered curtly the phone.
"Robb; how many times have we had this conversation?"-
He groaned already trying to get up without waking up Jeyne "What did he do now?"
"He? Oh no, I'm having a blast from the past at the station. Guess who's at the wrong side of the bars?"- No... Sheriff Mormont was heard laughing out loud over the phone. "Come get your girl Robb so we can all get some sleep tonight"
"Arya"
...
"Robb could you please drop it?"-
"Drop it? Drop. It? Arya; one doesn't just drop the fact that they were called at one in the morning to go bail their sister out of jail with an assault charge!"
"Old Man Mormont was just hanging on a technicality. Gendry didn't file anything. I was just jailed because I was a tad bit hysterical in the middle of the street"-
"Arya?..." Robb was trying his best to not strangle his sister "... could you please explain to me why Gendry; your boyfriend, would have the need to file assault against you and more importantly where is he and why are we driving to the hospital?"
"Robbie pleeeeeeeease, I'll tell you everything but I need to talk to Gendry first"-
Robb decided to drop it, the hospital was near anyways. Assault; Arya was being held inside of a jail cell at one am after she assaulted someone, her boyfriend of all people. If anything the whole family should kiss the ground Gendry Waters walked on for dealing with Arya who by that way was looking ragged on the passenger seat. Her makeup was sloshed, her hair a mess, her clothes were dirty and wrinkled and she had no shoes on. What the hell happened?
They arrived at the hospital and Arya threw herself out of the car not waiting him to even park the car. Well, at least they were near doctors. Robb was already feeling the heartburn that always seemed to appear but that he certainly didn't miss after his sister's antics. He arrived at the reception already seeing he was going to intervene with the head nurse as security that didn't allow Arya any further.
"But I AM his family!"- Arya screamed at the top of her lungs at a nurse that Robb had to give her props, she didn't bat an eyelash at Arya's bite.
"Sorry Miss, only next of kin"-
"I am his next of kin. I'm his emergency contact for God's sake!"-
"Yes and the young officer guarding his door also told me you are the same reason that boy is here tonight so sorry if I have my reserves at letting you near him!"-
"Listen here you Old Cu..."-
"I'm so sorry Madam. As a nurse you can see that my sister suffers from a severe case of Asperger." Robb said dragging Arya to the side "Remember me again why I bailed you out?"
"That woman has no authority whatsoever to prevent me from seeing Gendry"-
"Yes, I do"- The nurse scoffed while Robb was definitely feeling the heartburn as his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. By now Jeyne must have found out he left the house after he told her he was getting up to have a glass of water. Arya's temper was a Juggernaut that could only get worse if she didn't see Gendry so Robb didn't hesitate in pulling rank.
"Excuse me Miss...?"
"Ratched... Nurse Ratched"- The woman said winking at him and soothing down her uniform. Robb heard Arya growl.
"Nurse Ratched I'm sorry to be causing a scene it's just that this has been a very odd night and my sister just needs to see her boyfriend. In which wing is he in? Perhaps in the Eddard Stark Wing? You see, my family has been a contributor to the hospital since it opened it's doors. Actually, now that I remember; my wife is an honorary member on the board..."
The nurse dropped her flirty attitude and glared at him muttering a faint Room 237. Robb said thank you while Arya was already by the elevators. Thankfully the ride was quick and it wasn't hard to guess which room Gendry was in, there was a police officer standing outside the door that only smirked after he saw Arya running over.
"Counselor"- He said in a mock salute.
"Fuck off and go home Copper"- Arya yelled shoving him over so she could finally get inside. "Gendry!"- When Robb finally made it to the room Arya was sprawled across the bed furiously hugging Gendry and crying like a baby.
"It's ok, she kind of lives on me"- Gendry said to another nurse who was checking his vitals and was about to call security.
"I take it this is the young woman you were telling me about?"- The nurse asked while Gendry only gave her a thumbs up. Arya had his lips kidnapped in a kiss. "Well then try to keep things to a minimal. A stab wound is nothing to make fun off"-
"A STAB WOUND?! What the hell happened?!"
"Robb? Hey man. Sorry... I didn't see you there."- Gendry said courteous as always, even if he was in a hospital bed.
"You two. Explain. Now!"
"Well..."- Gendry said while Arya actually hid under the covers "I asked your dear sister to marry me and she stabbed me"-
"Good God..." by now Robb sat down and pressed the emergency button next to Gendry's bed. "I'm going to need a few painkillers"
I hope you enjoyed my little story and get on board BUT BE WARNED: it might take a while to write it. Why? Because I started the prequel called Wedding Bells because I had a huge writers block with my two other stories. I kind of still do but I will be more committed to finish them. Feel free to check them out. A Second Chance with Someone New and The strength is in the Pack. Both total Gendrya ship.
Again, thank you all for your support and feel free to review - follow and favorite :)
XOXO
New girl.
