Chapter 2.

Eddard

It was a cold morning in Winterfell when Eddard awoke from his slumber, he ventured over to his bureau. He started getting dressed, as he thought about the offer he had accepted from Lord Tywin the night before, he knew that the Tully's would expect him to marry his brothers widow, but seeing as she had given birth to his niece, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

He was never supposed to be the Lord of Winterfell, but here he was, his brother and father had been summoned to King's Landing merely a month after his marriage. In a attempt to bring back Lyanna, a failed attempt.

But that was in the past now, he may not have saved Lyanna, but Robert was king, and for now everyone was safe.

Lord Eddark was snapped from his trail of thought as he heard a knock on the door, looking down to make sure he was fully dressed he then spoke with a strong and determined voice. ''Enter.''

In came his little brother Benjen, 15 years of age, but still just as tall as Eddard, with his long brown hair, and starting stubble on his chin. Eddark looked happily at his little brother. ''I see you have not left for the wall just yet Ben.'' He said with a smirk on his face, that matched the one his brother had.

''Aye, I won't leave you just yet, when you have an heir. Then I'll feel all right to leave you and take the black.'' Eddard saw his brothers slight smirk get more serious as they talked. ''You're in luck little brother, I happen to have accepted a betrothal from Lord Tywin Lannister last night.'' Eddark looked at his little brother, as he thought to himself. 'He is so young, he may not be acting Lord of Winterfell anymore, as he had been during the war. But that was no reason to join the Nights Watch, as such a young age.''

''Lord Tywin Lannister. So which daughter are you to marry?'' Benjen said, while sitting down at one of the chairs by the small dining table in Eddard's room.

''Cersei, his second born.'' Eddard replied as he sat down across the table from his brother. ''I also received a raven from Jon Arryn.''

''Oh? News from Kings Landing.'' Benjen said, trying to act interested in the politics, but Eddard knew his brother did not care much for such things.

''Mostly just details of the new laws King Robert has implemented, and so on.'' Eddard said trying not to bore his brother, by explaining it. ''But it also stated that Robert has also accepted a betrothal from Lord Tywin. He is to marry Jayne, Tywin's first born.''

Benjen looked thoughtful for a few seconds with a slight frown to his face, Eddard knew that the mention of Roberts Betrothal, had brought his brother to think of their sister Lyanna.

Knowing that his Brother was having a difficult time with this subject he gave his brother a kind clap on the shoulder.

''Well we must get on with preparations for the wedding, and for the winter the measter said the first winter snow will be here shortly.'' he said with a smile on his face.

''Winter is coming.'' With that Benjen gave out a small cough as he got up to leave.

''Aye brother, winter is coming.'' Eddard said to himself. As the slight smile he had given his brother slowly turned to match his normal serious look.

Later that day

Eddard was taking a walk through the castle as he heard a familiar voice, singing. Walking toward the sound, he discovered that it was coming from the nursery, he then found out that the Singing he could hear was Lady Catelyn. Eddard was most thrilled when his brothers widow had accepted his offer to stay in Winterfell. Not wanting to part from his young niece. She was the last of Brandon he had left. Lady Catelyn was a sweet woman. She took care for her daughter but had also been respectful when he had brought Jon home, as his bastard son, a Snow.

Eddard knocked on the door, as he opened it slightly. ''You have a lovely singing voice my Lady.'' Eddard said standing firmly in the door with his hands behind his back.

Catelyn looked up from the chair. The light of the candles glistened beautifully in her ling auburn hair, and her clear blue eyes, where joyful and happy. She was sitting with her daughter Sansa on her knee. Sansa was but a year old, but took after her mother with beautiful auburn hair and clear blue eyes. To his surprise Eddard saw Jon's nurse on a chair in the room as well, holding Jon in her arms, the beautiful black haired little lad.

''I thought it would be a shame if no one sang to him. Since the boy doesn't have a mother I figure I might as well sing to them both.'' She said with a warm smile.

''You are very kind my Lady.'' As a smile spread on his lips. ''I sincerely apologise if I am disturbing you?''

''Not at all, Lord Stark.'' She said with the same warm smile, directing her attention to her daughter who was playing wither her hair. Sansa was not very large. She didn't look anything like Brandon, but simply knowing she was his, made Eddard feel better.

''I wish only to inform you that. I have accepted Lord Tywin Lannister's offer to Marry his daughter Cersei.'' He said returning to his serious authoritative look. ''If you help out with the preparations for the wedding, I would be very grateful. This is neither me nor Ben's strong side.''

''I would be horned my Lord.'' She said, removing her gaze from her daughter to Eddard, too give him a slight smile, then returning to play with her daughter.

''Please, call me Ned. I will see that the measter will talk to you about this tomorrow. Please enjoy your evening.'' Eddard said has he made a slight bow, and then exited the room. 'She must really love her child to have agreed to stay up here. Although her family would most likely have made her remarry if she returned.' Eddard thought to himself as he went to his meeting with Sir Rodrik.
