It had been a week since the party, Sandor and Sansa were now dating and Althea was happy for them, the only problem was Gregor. When she had told him she wanted him, he freaked out and left without saying anything to her, he wouldn't even talk to her at lunch and it was making Althea feel miserable. It was now Saturday morning and Althea was sat in her bedroom, trying to get her English assignment finished, it was due in on Wednesday and she didn't want to leave it until last minute. Her phone beeped indicating she had a message, picking up her phone she opened the message and frowned when she realised it was from Sansa.

Hey, I really need to talk to you, it's important...give me a ring when you can x

Frowning at the message, she thought why her friend would be so worried she would ring her ten o clock in the morning! Scrolling down her contacts, she quickly selected Sansa before putting the phone on loud speaker, the phone rang for three rings before Sansa answered, Althea placed her phone on her folder and crossed her legs on her bed. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked softly, but clearly so Sansa would be able to hear and understand her.

"It's something stupid, but something has been bugging me since Jacob's party and I think Sandor has forgot about it, I don't want to bring it up with him because he might freak out."

Althea frowned slightly and quickly pulled her hair up into a messy bobble, she thought about it for a moment. What would be so bad that it would freak Sandor out? During the time in the last week at lunch, Althea realised that not much freaked out Sandor and he was pretty laid back, unless someone looked at Sansa in the wrong way or answered her back..., then he freaked out.

"What is it? I'm sure it can't be to bad." Althea said softly, trying to convince herself along with Sansa.

"Me and Sandor had sex."

Althea felt her eyes widened when Sansa told her, was that why she was freaking out? Because she had sex with Sandor? Althea didn't see what the problem was, it was pretty normal for couples to have sex..., Althea herself was still a virgin and if she ever did get a boyfriend, she wouldn't have sex with him the same night, she'd probably wait a few months.

"Sansa, that's normal..., maybe not on the same night you get together but it is nothing to be ashamed of." Althea told her softly, there was silence at the other end of the phone, but Althea could hear Sansa breathing heavily as if she was trying to fight back tears.

"It's not the fact we had sex that is bothering me Al."

Althea frowned once again, what did she mean? She was quickly getting confused, with the way that Sansa's voice showed she was fighting back tears. "Ok, what am I missing?" She asked softly, there was a long silence at the other end of the phone.

"He didn't use a condom...," Her voice finally broke of in a sob and Althea heard her crying at the other end of the phone, she felt her stomach sink at the sound of her best friend crying. Althea could understand why Sansa was upset, she was scared she might be pregnant and if she was pregnant she was scared that Sandor would react badly.

"Listen to me Sansa, it has only been a week if you are pregnant, I don't think the signs would show now. Wait for a couple of weeks and if you are still worried take a pregnancy test. But Sansa, you MUST tell Sandor. If he finds out and you have kept it from him, he will react more badly, you need to tell him straight away. He seems like the sort of person who prefers the truth." She finally told her friend, Sansa's sobs had quietened down but she was still sniffling.

"I...I will," She whispered weakly, her voice shaking slightly. Althea let a sigh escape her lips, she prayed that Sandor would react well, but if truth be told she had no idea how Sandor would react. They had only been together a week and if Sansa was indeed pregnant, it would turn everything upside down.

"Promise me Sansa, after you finish on the phone to me you will ring Sandor or go and see him." Althea said softly through the phone, Sansa didn't say anything for a long moment.

"I promise, I will ring you or text you to let you know how it goes." She said softly before ending the call. Althea let a loud sigh escape her lips before looking back to her coursework, she couldn't focus on it now, not after her conversation with Sansa. Pulling the bobble from her hair, Althea quickly jumped off her bed deciding to get dressed, she wouldn't wear anything fancy, just something that was comfortable to relax in so she could watch a movie in her room or finish her coursework. Her thoughts ran back to Sansa and Sandor and she felt her stomach clench, praying that everything would turn out alright in the end.

'If Sandor hurts my precious sweet friend in any way possible, I'll beat him so badly that I will make Ramsay Bolton look tame.' She thought to herself before making her way to her bathroom.

An hour later Althea was dressed in grey loose jogging bottoms and a tightly fitted white vest top. She had pulled her golden locks of her face and into a bobble and was relaxing back on her bed against the headboard, watching How to Train your Dragon. Even though the film was aimed at a younger audience, Althea had taken Tommen and Shireen to watch it and she ended up enjoying the film more then her little brother and cousin, so her mother had got it for her as soon as it was released onto DVD.

Hearing the front door slam close Althea felt a frown grace her face as she quickly looked at the time. It was only eleven in the morning, surely her Uncle Jaime hadn't brought her siblings back from the theme park this early? They had left three hours ago and he had also invited Althea, but she didn't want to go she had too much on her mind, wondering if she had actually screwed things up with Gregor and now with the whole Sansa and Sandor thing, she was glad she didn't go.

"She's up in her room dear, top floor second door on your right!" She heard her mother speak, causing Althea to frown even more, she quickly shrugged her shoulders. It was probably Sansa to tell her what happened, she turned back to her television screen and carried on watching the movie, while listening to the sounds of the footsteps get closer to her room. Someone knocked on her door softly, three times causing Althea to straighten herself out.

"Come in!"

Her bedroom door opened and Althea felt her throat go dry, Gregor was standing in the doorway a nervous look on his face. He was dressed in a simple green muscle top that outlined his muscles and chest perfectly, he had grey skinny jeans on which were snug around his hips and tight against his legs, showing of the muscles. His shoes were probably left downstairs by the door, because he had simple white socks on. His hair was ruffled and his beard was neatly trimmed once again. Her nervously stepped into the room and shut her bedroom door, he didn't say anything and Althea didn't speak either, they just watched each other for a long moment.

"I came to apologize," he finally spoke causing Althea to quickly pause the DVD before turning to him. Why was he apologizing? Surely she should be the one to apologize with being so forward. "There is nothing to apologize for, I should apologize..., when I said I wanted you I didn't mean in a sexual way..., I just meant in a relationship kind of way." She finally said watching the guilty look that spread across his face.

"I know, that's why I ran." He said softly, Althea had always thought not much could hurt her, but after hearing those simple words escape his lips she felt her stomach sink and her heart to feel like it was shattering. It was horrible to know, that the one guy she actually liked didn't like her. "But that is why I came back," he said causing her to quickly snap her gaze towards him. "Yes, well your apology is accepted." She said bitterly, watching as he stared at her, with a blank expression on his face.

"You have misunderstood me Althea, I ran because you scared me. Not much scares me, only a few things in this world, loosing my brother or my father..., and loosing you." He said slowly causing Althea to feel her heart stutter in her chest, she inhaled a deep breath and looked at him straight in the face. "H..How would you lose me?" She asked softy, watching him as he made his way slowly towards her bed, climbing onto it beside her, she turned her body to face him.

"I've never dated anyone before, only fucked. I'm no good at romantic shit and all of that, if I started dating you, I would only end up hurting you. I'm not made for this lovey dovey shit, but whenever I think that you would be better off with someone else, I want to beat myself up for thinking that." He paused for a moment and Althea couldn't help but fall in love with him slightly, he was opening up to her.

"If you want someone who has a shitty temper, is likely to cause trouble where ever he is and is no good at romantic stuff, then I'm here for the taking." He finally said causing Althea's heart to skip a couple of beats, "Gregor are you..." she broke off and he looked at her, giving her a nervous smile. "Aye, I'm asking you to be my girlfriend Althea..., and doing a pretty bad job of it." He told her, giving her a nervous laugh. She felt a huge grin grace her lips, "I would love to be your girlfriend, but I do have something I need to say." She said softly causing him to frown at her.

"Gregor, if we start dating I don't want to jump straight into bed with you, sex so soon just seems to make relationships complicated. I want to wait until we have sex, I want it to mean something and I want it to be special, not just some wild romp in the sheets." She confessed, watching his face as a look of shock spread across his face before a smile greeted his lips.

"Alright, if that's how you want it I would be a fool to say no," he agreed causing her to look at him with a slightly shocked impression. "So..., does that mean.." She broke off again, watching as a feral grin graced his lips causing Althea's heart to skip a few beats and for her stomach to flip, that grin looked seriously sexy on him.

"Yeah sweet cheeks, you are mine and no one else is allowed to touch you, because if they do they will wish they were never born." He growled at her, Althea felt a rush of heat run to in between her legs, she fidgeted slightly before grinning at him. He quickly pushed his lips against hers, giving her a soft kiss before pulling away and leaning back against the headboard. Althea quickly curled up to his side, her head resting on his shoulder and she grinned when his arms slipped around her body, holding her close.

"Are you watching How to train your dragon? I fucking love this film." He paused for a moment.

"Just don't tell Sandor, he'd never let me hear the end of it.
