Chapter 7
Bran smiled to himself as he looked around.
'Okay, I've got everything I need, just...where to start…?' He thought to himself.
He and Meera had been making arrangements for when the baby was born. Due to the way his family were acting, after talking things over with her, as well as Howland and Jyana, it was agreed to set up the nursery at the Reeds house, at least until they could find their own place. While Meera's parents had taken her out to buy maternity clothes, Bran opted to stay and work on the nursery.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. 'Time to start working, now, let's see, where to begin...'
He and Meera still didn't know the gender of the baby, however that wasn't a major issue in their eyes and the Reeds certainly didn't mind. However, regardless of that, regardless of whatever their thoughts were, it was decided that they try to keep things neutral in making the nursery, not too many overtly feminine things or overtly boyish things.
'I can see why I mean, we don't know what we're having, we don't mind either...Boy of girl, just so long as the baby is healthy. But, even so, whatever our thoughts, we mustn't make assumptions.' Bran reflected. 'So, keep it neutral, give the baby time to develop their personality, then things should just...fit.'
Grinning he was just about to get to work when he heard the door open..
He turned, smiling, and was surprised to see Jojen, who he had been expecting as he had been gathering what they'd need from downstairs, wasn't alone. Arya's boyfriend, Gendry, was with him.
"Hey?" He greeted them, voicing his confusion.
Smiling Gendry explained. "Arya told me about this, also about the trouble you've been having...I just thought I'd come by and help out."
Laughing Bran gladly welcomed it; he knew Arya understood his plight, as she was also involved in a relationship that the family was against.
"Wow, I...thanks..." He said at last.
They all just grinned and together headed through to the room.
"Alright." Jojen said cheerfully. "Let's get started."
Bran agreed and they soon all got to work, setting up the nursery, all the while, Bran was actually amazed, yet glad, to have them all here, aiding him. With all of them helping, it did not take long before the nursery was finished. Grinning as he took it all in Bran to turned to them.
"Wow, this is, you guys, I..." He began but then shook his head. "Thank you."
It felt so inadequate, but there was nothing else he could think of, no other words that would come, despite his gratitude to them. They all however grinned in response and it was Gendry who spoke.
His response was simple. "You are more than welcome Bran, like I said, everything you're going through, you can make it, you're not alone."
Those words meant more to Bran than anything. He was overjoyed to not just have the support of the Reeds, but also of Arya and Gendry, people who understood his plight, even if their issues with his family were somewhat different.
"Thanks." He said again.
Gendry nodded, grinning.
Bran looked around the nursery one more time, grinning widely, he couldn't wait to show Meera.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
