Chapter 3

Meera bit her lip, waiting anxiously. She had been wondering about her sickness for a while and now, she was determined to find out if it was what she had feared. She had just returned from the pharmacy and was now waiting. She had just taken a pregnancy test and was now seated, rocking back and forth, waiting for the result.

Her fear gnawed at her insides endlessly. 'It can't be, it can't be that...Bran he, this isn't...'

If her fears turned out to be true, she had no idea how to feel. It would make a for a real problem between her and Bran and quite possibly their families. She exhaled softly, she was working herself into a panic, she had to calm down and think straight. But all that disappeared when she heard the timer beep. Her heart began pounding and she fought to keep her breathing steady. She picked up the rest and let out the breath she was holding in one explosive burst.

"No..." She whispered.

But it was there, right in front of her. She was pregnant, she was carrying Bran's child. Their one night of passion had consequences, and said consequences were now right before her.

'God, what do I, what do I say to Bran, how can I…?' She wondered worriedly.

It was then she heard the front door which made her tense, Jojen was home now; she was worried, what should she do, should she tell Jojen or not.

In the end, she simply couldn't lie to her brother and so as she headed downstairs; she soon spotted him in the living room.

"Hey, Jojen." She greeted him with a smile.

Jojen grinned. "Hey Meera; what's up?"

She decided it was best to ease into things. "Nothing much, how about you?"

"Yeah, pretty good; school was...okay." He replied.

Meera caught on at once. "So, Joffrey Baratheon hassled you again."

Jojen started but then bowed his head. "Yeah, but...Tommen and Myrcella were there before he could really do anything."

"I see; did Myrcella…?"

"I'm afraid so." Jojen admitted. "But I'm not the only one hiding things."

Meera froze; silently cursing how observant Jojen was. "Don't miss a thing, do you?"

"Nope, you're so pale and you are clearly nervous Meera...Trying to build up to something." He explained calmly.

Shaking her head, Meera admitted he was right. "Alright well; I don't know how to actually lead up to it, so; yeah. I'm pregnant Jojen, just found before you came in."

Jojen froze at that. "Pregnant, so, so you and Bran…?"

"Yeah."

There was a lengthy silence during which Meera felt absolute dread, Jojen was her brother yet also Bran's best friend. How would he react to this, she should have thought harder about that. But now it was done, she could only wait for his reaction. Then suddenly, she gasped, for Jojen hugged her.

"Hey, it's okay Meera...I'm here for you, you and Bran both, I have a good feeling you guys will be great parents."

Meera couldn't help but let out a short gasp of relief and gladly returned the hug.


That evening, at dinner with their parents, both Jojen and Meera had already agreed now wasn't the time to tell their parents about Meera's pregnancy, especially as Bran hadn't yet been told.

"So, how was your days?" Jyana asked.

Jojen smiled and spoke at once. "Not too bad, school was alright, hung with Bran and the others as usual...Oh and I met someone new?"

"Oh?" Howland queried.

Jojen nodded. "Yeah, um, she's actually a neighbour."
"She?"

"Yeah, Lily Fenn." He explained. "She's...she's pretty cool..."

He continued to talk, surprising not only his parents, but Meera too. Especially with he spoke about Lily, clearly thinking highly of her. The reason for their surprise being Jojen's usual reaction around girls. Yet it seemed that this girl, this Lily Fenn, was an exception to that. They began to feel hopeful; maybe Lily was just who Jojen needed to finally escape the demon's of his past, the demons that gave him his fears of women, especially physical contact from them.
