Another update for you guys, I'm going as fast as I can, but I'm having a little trouble fitting Freya into the story now that it has met up with the show, I know it sounds silly, but I'm trying to work with what I know and where I want the story to go as best I can. Anyway there were a lot of reviews for chapter 12, Direwolves and Kings: 97hollster, Dreaming while awake, brandibuckeye, and for chapter 13, No Beauty in These Nightmares: brandibuckeye, aireagle92, rikka21, and Dreaming while awake!

Chapter 14

The next morning Robb awoke as the sun began to peek over the gray horizon. He carefully slipped out of the bed, tucking the blankets around Freya, before getting dressed and heading back to his own room. He moved silently through the halls worried that someone would find him.

Robb arrived at his room and pushed the door open, freezing when he saw there was someone in his bed. He crept closer wondering who it was when suddenly Grey Wind sat up from beneath the blankets and yipped at him. Robb laughed out loud when he saw the the pup had pulled the pillows into the bed to make it look like Robb was there.

"You're too smart for your own good," Robb commented as he changed clothes. Grey Wind growled suddenly squaring off in front of the door. It was flung open and Rickon and Shaggydog came in stumbling over one another. "Easy little wolf."

Rickon smiled at Robb before he sat on his bed. "You're up early," Rickon pointed out.

"So are you, what are you doing in here? Have you had breakfast yet," Robb asked.

"Mother said I was driving her crazy and to come wake you up, she says you, Jon, and Theon need to shave and have haircuts before the King gets here. Can we go eat now? We should wake Freya she'll want to eat as well," Rickon suggested. He had dutifully delivered his mother's message now he wanted food.

"Let's go see if she's awake," Robb said with a roll of his eyes. Despite having slept most of the day and all night, he wanted her to have some more time to sleep. "If she's not, we'll let her sleep."

"Fine," Rickon whined as they made their way back through the castle to Freya's room. Robb pushed the door open gently and noticed that Freya was sitting up in bed looking around in confusion. When she saw him at the door she smiled brightly.

"There you are, you weren't here when I...," she trailed off when she realized Rickon was behind him. "I had a dream, that you were both here, so when I woke up and you were gone I was confused."

Robb smiled at her covering for them, neither of them wanted to run the risk of Rickon knowing Robb had stayed in her room, he wouldn't keep that a secret for long. "We're here now, and apparently quite hungry," Robb explained gesturing to Rickon, who's stomach grumbled in response.

"Get up, we're going to eat," Rickon demanded as he bounded over to the bed.

"Can I change first? I can't go to breakfast in my nightgown," Freya pointed out.

"Oh, right, we'll wait outside," Rickon said before grabbing Robb's hand and pulling him out of the room. Their wolves quickly followed leaving Freya alone with Cas again. She giggled once the door closed and climbed out of bed. She vaguely remembered asking Robb what he thought their children would look like before she fell asleep. She blushed slightly as she quickly changed clothes and tied her hair to the side with a ribbon.

"Let's go Cas," she called as she opened the door. Robb offered her his arm as she stepped out. "I don't know, Rickon would you like the honor of being my escort?"

Rickon glanced between them as he considered her question. He stuck his tongue out at her and darted away Shaggydog, Grey Wind, and Cas hot on his trail.

"I think that is a no," Robb commented as he took her hand and pulled her after them.

"Apparently he doesn't like me as much as you seem to," Freya replied.

"Trust me," Robb said as he turned to her. "No one likes you as much as I do." He glanced around before kissing her on the cheek.

"Come on you two," Rickon called from the end of the hallway.

"Coming, coming," Freya called back to him. They quickly joined him and the three of them went tripping into the Great Hall only to find that Lady Stark and Maester Luwin had taken it over in preparation for the feast.

"You'll have to eat in the kitchen," Lady Stark called when she saw them. She noted that Freya and Robb were holding hands but chose not to comment. "Don't forget your shave and haircut Robb!"

"Shave and haircut," Freya asked as she ruffled his hair. "Getting pretty for the Queen, are you?"

"Apparently Jon and Theon have to do it as well," Robb explained with a roll of his eyes. "Is Sansa still on about the Prince?"

They had arrived in the kitchens and the cooks immediately began passing them breakfast. One of the servants waved them over to a table in the corner so they would be out of the way. At that moment, the Stark in question swept into the room her direwolf Lady, on her heels, with Bran and his direwolf behind them.

"Ask her yourself, maybe your opinion will mean more than mine," Freya commented. Robb could see her annoyance was evident on her face. "He's all she talks about, she's never even met him! All he did was torment me when I was in King's Landing, I hear he's not gotten any better either."

"I hear he is a right prick," Robb commented as he bit into his toast.

Sansa joined them at the table as Jon and Arya entered the room as well. It was a rare occasion for all of the Stark children to have breakfast at one time. They usually got up at different times and had to tend to their various lessons and duties. Theon slipped into the room and also joined them at the table.

"You hear about our haircuts Snow," Theon asked once Jon had joined them.

"Haircuts," Jon asked a nervous look on his face. He hated getting his haircut more than anything.

"We have to shave too," Robb replied as he rubbed his beard.

"Oh, don't worry you three, I'm sure you'll all look almost as lovely as Sansa in her new dress," Freya said giving the younger girl a smile. "To bad it's going to be wasted on someone like Joffrey."

"You made a new dress just for the royal visit," Jon asked in surprise.

"Of course I did," Sansa said indignantly. "Don't let Freya fool you, I'm helping her make one as well. It's going to be lovely and will really bring out her green eyes."

"Her Lannister green eyes," Theon commented darkly. Robb and Freya shot him an irritated look. "What? They are the Lannister green!"

"Yes, thank you Theon, I had not noticed the color of my eyes recently," Freya replied her annoyance bleeding into her tone. Not wanting to further the argument she changed the subject. "What have you been up to lately Bran?"

"Climbing, the usual," he said around a mouthful of porridge.

"Chew with your mouth closed," Sansa snapped.

"Freya asked him a question, and don't tell him what to do," Arya said in an equally snappy tone.

"You two," Robb said warningly. "Calm down. Bran can talk with his mouth full if he wants to, it is just us afterall, don't be so bossy Sansa, and Arya don't snap at her like that."

"Always keeping the peace," Jon commented with a smile at Robb.

"Someone has to," Robb replied.

"So the two of you have made up," Sansa asked as she studied Robb and Freya. "Her moping over your fight was getting old."

"Sansa," Freya said indignantly. She avoided Robb's gaze as she returned to her food. "I was not moping."

"No, whining is more like it, 'what should I do', 'I hate fighting with him'," Sansa said mimicking Freya's voice.

"It's almost scary how well you do that," Theon said staring at her in amazement. "You got her accent perfect."

"I don't have an accent," Freya cried in irriatation.

"Yes you do," all the others replied simultaneously. They all laughed together as Freya shook her head at them.

"You sound more like us than you used to," Arya pointed out.

"She's right, when you first got here, your southern accent was unbearable," Theon said with a roll of his eyes. "Half the time I didn't know what you had just said."

"Because the Iron Islands has such a lovely accent," Freya said sarcastically.

"Hey," Theon cried. "Watch it lion! I will set the kracken after you." Freya, Robb, and Jon snorted at the inuendo Theon had unintentionally made.

"Freya won't be a lion much longer, she'll be a wolf when she and Robb get married," Rickon said as he continued to eat his breakfast. Everyone froze at his comment, Freya actually dropped her spoon and Robb choked on his water. Jon hit his brother on the back helping to clear his throat.

"Are the two of you," Sansa asked excitedly pointing between them. She was already imagining the wedding in her head, she knew exactly what her dress and Freya's would look like.

"No," Freya and Robb said at the same time.

"You said you love her, and she told me that she loves you too," Rickon said quickly. His eyes went wide and he clapped his hands over his mouth realizing he had revealed Freya's secret. He leapt from the table and darted from the room without a word.

"I'll go," Freya said standing up quickly. "He thinks he ruined the secret, he doesn't know."

"Doesn't know what," Arya asked in confusion.

"Stay out of it," Jon said seriously. The fewer people that knew about their relationship the better. It would be hard to keep it a secret if all the Stark children knew.

"No, what doesn't he know? If Rickon knows why can't we know," Sansa demanded.

Freya heaved a sigh and looked at Robb. She bit her lip as she stared at him, both wondering the same thing. "I'll tell them, you go talk to him," Robb said softly, giving her hand a squeeze before she rushed after the youngest wolf. He watched her leave ignoring the gazes of the rest of his siblings and Theon for a moment.

"Care to share something with the rest of us, Stark," Theon asked his patience wearing thin.

"What I am about to say has to stay between us, if the court found out about this especially the Lannisters and the King it could be very bad for Freya. Do I have your word," Robb asked suddenly very serious.

They all nodded in agreement before Robb continued. "Freya and I are in a relationship, we are not engaged as Rickon seems to think, but we are in love. You all understand that this is dangerous, despite her being a bastard she is still a Lannister, as much as we accept her as one of us, there is no guarantee that her family will be as accepting of this choice. This has got to stay a secret."

"What was Rickon so upset about," Bran asked.

"He asked us both the other day if we loved the other, apparently Freya told him that she did but that she hadn't told me so he had to keep it a secret. He doesn't know that she has told me, hence him being upset," Robb explained.

Theon looked from Robb to Jon for a moment. "Hold on, you don't look surprised by any of this Snow, did you already know about this secret relationship," Theon demanded.

"No," Jon said much to quickly for it to be the truth. Robb shot him an irriatated look before glancing at Theon.

"He's the one that pointed out I was in love with her, he shouldn't be surprised," Robb replied.

"When did you realize it Robb," Sansa asked. She found the whole situation to be incredibly romantic, forbidden romance, young lovers, all very exciting.

"When she got sick," Bran said before Robb could. Robb stared at him in surprise and nodded. "We all thought she was going to die, it makes sense that you would realize it then."

"You're wiser than your years," Robb said pointing at him with a warm smile. "I should go and see if Freya has found Rickon. It's been a delightful breakfast."

...

Freya checked all of Rickon's usual hiding places but couldn't seem to find him. She getting concerned, she rounded a corner and bounced off a hard chest. The other person grabbed her to steady her. She looked up to see she had run into Robb.

"Robb, I can't find him, I don't know where he went," she said her tone growing a bit frantic.

"Did you check the library," Robb asked, that was usually Rickon's favorite spot to hid.

"I've looked everywhere, I can't find him," Freya reminded him.

"Come on, I bet I know where he is," Robb said taking her hand. He led the way back to his bedroom and pushed the door open. They could hear Rickon sniffling, but did not see him. Robb pointed at the bed. Freya quickly dropped to the floor and saw that Rickon had hidden beneath it.

"Rickon, come out, it's ok," Freya said soothingly as she reached toward him.

"No, I told them the secret, I'm sorry," he wailed as sobs racked his small body.

"Rickon, I'm not mad I swear it," Freya said as she attempted to push herself under the bed. She was too big to fit. "Will you come out before I get stuck and have to live under Robb's bed?"

Rickon slowly slid out from beneath the bed and made to run for the door but Robb caught him. He lifted his brother up into his arms and sat down on the bed. "We're not mad, Freya actually needs to tell you something," Robb informed him.

Freya knelt in front of him and took Rickon's hand into her own. "When I told you to keep the secret, it was because I had not told Robb yet, I wanted him to hear it from me first, but I told him later that afternoon, so you didn't tell my secret little wolf, everything is ok," Freya explained.

"You're not mad," Rickon asked carefully.

"At you, never," Freya said with a smile. "You have to understand something though, just because Robb and I love one another, it doesn't mean that we are going to get married, we might want to someday, but for right now that needs to stay between us. It could cause a lot of trouble. Do you understand?"

"Would you get hurt," Rickon asked a look of fear passing over his face. The thought of someone hurting Robb or Freya upset him.

"No, no one would hurt us," Robb said quickly. He hoped he was right about that statement. "There are people who wouldn't agree with us though."

"We have to keep it a secret," Rickon surmised.

"Yes, from everyone, even mother and father," Robb informed him.

"Even the king," Freya added seriously. She and Robb exchanged a heavy glance, if all of his siblings knew it was only a matter of time before Lord and Lady Stark, and the rest of the world knew.

The King and her family will be arriving in Chapter 16, which currently has no title because there is a lot going on, its going to be a really long chapter. Chapter 15 is going to show some progression in Freya and Robb's relationship in the... physical department for a lack of a better phrase, more commonly known as a lemon or smut. It's also going to be a longer chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter though, and I hope I am keeping on you pins and needles about Freya's reunion with her family, its going to be very interesting.
