Here's the final chapter of this story. I am so sorry it's short but I didn't want to just ramble on. Make sure to leave a review and let me know if you want to see a sequel. Thank you so much to you all who reviewed and enjoyed this story. :) It means a lot.


ROBB sat at the table while the others had departed for their bed chambers. His father and mother stayed a moment, concern and worry stared from their eyes, and he had said nothing to them. His father had warned him to do nothing rash nor to share this bit of information with Naomi. So he simply settled for curling his hands into tight fists so that his knuckles turned white. Ned placed a hand on his son's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze before he wrapped his arm around Cate's shoulder as the both of them left Robb in the meaning room.

He sat there for a few moments more just staring hard at the wooden table before him. Robb had never cared for the Lannisters but his hatred for them grew more. Yes they had no evidence that Jamie had anything to do with his father-in-law's death but Jamie was the last one to see him alive. And that was damning evidence if Robb had ever seen any.

When Robb had finally made his way to his bed chambers for the night he found that the fire was nearly out and Naomi sleeping sounding on her side in their bed. He smiled softly, glad that Naomi had found peace and was sleeping. He would have to thank Jon again for being there for her, knowing that he had something to do with this. Naomi and his half-brother had become quick friends and their friendship had deepened over time. Though it seemed to unsettle his mother, Robb had found himself rather happy that his wife and brother got along so well. He knew that he had nothing to worry about from either one of them. He was neither jealous nor worried about their bond. In fact he was thankful above all else. He knew that if anything ever happened to him, Jon would be there to care for him.

Robb removed his clothing changing into a thin gray sleeping shirt as he lifted the covers from the bed and slipped in quickly and quietly as to not disturb Naomi sleeping beside him. He stilled for a moment as she stirred and moved to lay on her back and let out a breath when she remained asleep. Sitting upright in the bed, Robb glanced at Naomi with his blue orbs in admiration for his wife.

She had been through so much for her young age and yet she never lost that spark to continue on in the world. Naomi knew there was more life to be had and that not all of her days would be dark and Robb found that amazing and made him fall even more in love with her.

"I will avenge your pain, my love." Robb whispered softly, staring down at his sleeping wife. "You will not have to carry this burden on your shoulders for much longer. I promise." Leaning down he brushes his lips against her forehead.

Naomi awoke only a few moments later after feeling Robb's lips touch her forehead. Opening her eyes she found them to be matched with blue ones.

"I'm sorry if I woke you." Robb's voice was low and soft.

Naomi shook her head and looked back at him. "Are you just ariving to bed?"

"I wasn't tired and took a walk to perhaps bring sleep to me." Robb said. "Besides, I thought you and Jon would like more time together, seeing as you two haven't had much."

"I enjoyed it. Jon is an excellent watcher." Naomi laughed softly rolling onto her side so she was facing him fully now. "Though in his words he was simply spending time with me while your were at a secret meeting."

Robb looked down at her, his eyebrows raised in question and a smirk formed on his face. "And how, my darling, did you come to behold that knowledge?"

Naomi shrugged her shoulders. "I hear things." She stared up at him and sighed. "How was it? Was it awful?"

Robb shook his head. "It was resourceful."

"That bad?" Naomi bit her lip.

"No." He shook his head again. "It's nothing that time won't figure out for itself. Nor is it something you should worry over." He kissed the tip of her nose.

Naomi nodded and sighed, falling onto her back again, as she stared up at the ceiling above them. She was going to worry whether Robb liked it or not. She knew that the meeting involved her and knowing that Jon wasn't allowed in and that Ned had invited those closest to him and who he trusted with his own life told Naomi that it was of a dire and important news.

But that was not the only thing that bothered her and had been spinning spider webs within her mind. She felt change wrapped a secure blanket around, not only her, but all of Winterfell. She was not the same girl she was when she first arrived here. Everything had changed and it would never be the same again.

"What troubles you?" Robb asked.

Naomi shook her head. "It is nothing. Go to sleep."

"You'll have to try better than that sweetheart." Robb smiled softly.

She sighed before answering. "I have changed so much Robb that I feel like a stranger within my own being. I am not the same as I once was and I fear that." She paused. "A new path has been laid at my feet and I don't know where to go from this point. The further down the path I travel the more changes that pass me by... and somewhere, I... how many changes must be made before I am no longer lost?"

It was quiet for a moment.

"At least you are not alone on this journey." Robb said.

Naomi turned her head to look at him. He stared back at her. "You have me as your traveling companion, Naomi. I will not let you stray too far away from yourself and if you do, I will be there to pull you back." His eyes met her. "I love you and that will not change."

Naomi smiled and leaned her head up to capture his lips with her own, his fingers sliding into the spaces between her own. When she pulled away she stared into his eyes, allowing a smile to grace her face.

"So what did you and Jon do all night?" Robb asked.

"We told stories." Naomi answered.

"Happy ones?" Robb looked at her.

Naomi nodded. "Very happy."

Robb smiled and wrapped his arms around Naomi pulling her to him as she laid her head upon his chest, listening to slow beating of his heart lulling her to sleep. And as he listened to her slow steady breathing and he soon found his own breathing matched hers perfectly.
