Chapter 10

Arya wasn't sure how long she had been sleeping but she was woken up later by screaming. Her eyes snapped open, she noted it was still dark, as she sat up she determined the source of the screaming. It was Violet; the others were gathered around her, looking worried. Arya scrambled to her feet and rushed over.

"What the, what's going on…?" She asked.

Qyburn looked up at her. "She's in labour."

Arya froze as she heard that. "Oh Gods…"

The others were all clearly distressed as Violet screamed again. Lyonel shook his head and sighed.

"This isn't good; we'd better hurry if we want this baby to live." He remarked.

"We need to get to a hospital." Qyburn remarked nodded.

Yet Violet reacted strongly to that, screaming and shaking her head.

"NO! No hospital; they'll take my baby away, I won't…"

Qyburn shook his head. "But we have no blankets, towels, any of that, we've got nothing."

The others all shared a look, this was a deep quandary for them; it was clear Violet wouldn't let them get her to hospital.

Finally Lyonel spoke; taking charge. "Alright listen; Qyburn, stay with Violet, Jorah, there's an abandoned building down the street, find a way in. Once you do come back and both of you get Violet inside. Arya, come with me."

They were surprised by this but all agreed and did as he said.

As they exited the den, Jorah ran on ahead, heading for the building while Lyonel led the way out to the street, Arya following. She was startled by everything going on and was almost dazed at first. She had recovered now and was focusing.

She then asked. "Where are we going, do you know a doctor?"

Lyonel shook his head. "No, besides, we can't afford one."

"So what are you…?" Arya asked desperately.

Equally desperate Lyonel spun around to face her and spoke quickly.

"Listen, I want this baby to have a chance, even a tiny chance in this big fucked up world. I want it to be warm, have food and a bottle and decent clothes like any other human being. I won't let it be born in the trash under a bridge, I won't."

Arya nodded, understanding his logic. "Alright, so what's your plan?"

Lyonel sighed. "I don't actually have on; but we'll figure it out, we need to get to the store."

So Arya followed him as they hurried over to the now closed store. Lyonel sighed as he looked at the storefront.

"Everything we need is in there; if we could just get in." He remarked.

Arya also looked around and then spotted something. "Up there."

She pointed and Lyonel followed where she pointed.

"That window isn't latched, give me a boost, I can fit through it."

Lyonel nodded and began to help her. Arya clambered up and squeezed through the window, taking a moment to switch off the security camera, before slipping into the store.

She hurried to the front doors and opened the security shutter and unlocked the regular doors and opened them, Lyonel hurried in.

"Alright, let's get what we need." She remarked.

Lyonel nodded and they quickly got to work, grabbing towels, blankets, a pair of scissors, a bowl and bottles of water amongst others. They left the store and saw Jorah running towards them.

"We need to hurry, her waters have broken." He told them desperately.

They quickened their pace and hurried towards the building. They entered through the opened window, following Jorah as they headed upstairs to one of the rooms. Inside Violet was lying on a relatively clean mattress, still screaming, Qyburn was still with her; within the room was a table and, on the floor was an electric heater. The lights and electricity in the building seemed to be working.

"Okay we're here." Lyonel announced. "We got everything."

They soon had everything set down and Qyburn spoke up.

"Right, now what…?"

Violet groaned before announcing. "OUT, everyone but Arya, all the men, out!"

"Wha…?" Arya gasped.

"All of you out." Violet insisted. "Arya, please stay."

Arya shook her head. "Are you crazy, I have no idea what to do?"

Violet looked at her pleadingly. "Please."

"I…" Arya sighed but nodded. "Alright, alright, we'll…let's go."

The men left the room, leaving Arya alone with Violet.

Arya bit her lip and, thinking quickly, she got to work, including removing her gloves, hat and scarf, stuffing them in her jacket pockets, before removing the jacket and setting it down. She turned on the heater and set up the towels, including setting up one underneath Violet's lower body, after removing the girl's jeans.

"Alright…" She breathed; it was time to begin.

She did her best, encouraging Violet while doing what she could to help, mopping the girl's brow and urging Violet on. Arya wasn't sure how much time had passed but finally she realized they were getting close to the end.

"C'mon, you're nearly there, push!" She cried out.

Violet screamed but did so, Arya reminded her about her breathing and she continued.

Arya gasped as she realized and then spoke. "That's it, I can see the head now, keep pushing."

Violet gasped and did so until finally the baby was born. Arya quickly cradled the baby and quickly cut the cord, smiling as she cleaned the baby, as well as her arms using the towels and basin of water. She soon had the baby comfortably wrapped in a blanket, another blanket covered Violet's lower body.

"You did it." Arya remarked softly. "It's a boy."

Violet grinned as she cradled the baby boy. With Violet's permission, Arya went and let the men back in.

They entered, all looking worried; but they relaxed when they saw Violet's smile.

"You've done it." Qyburn said softly.

Violet nodded. "I couldn't have done it without Arya."

The others smiled at her; Arya blushed and shook her head. "I…I didn't…"

"Don't downplay what you did, this was a miracle." Lyonel stated.

Violet nodded, smiling. "Yes, that's what this baby is, my little miracle."

The others all grinned and finally, all exhausted, they sought various rooms in the building to sleep, Arya pulling on her jacket, gloves, hat and scarf again. Finally, lying down on a badly worn couch, she drifted off to sleep again.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
