SANSA'S POV
Sansa: Well at least we got almost everybody's answer to their wedding invitations.
Tyrion: Almost?
Sansa: We still haven't received a raven from Arya… I'm really worried Tyrion. What if she doesn't come? What am I going to do? I need my sister here.
Tyrion: (Hugging Sansa) don't worry my love. I'm sure she'll come. She is your sister; she wouldn't miss it for the world.
Sansa: Yes but you know how she is. She doesn't like weddings or any social event for that matter.
Tyrion: (Looking solemnly at Sansa) I know. But she loves you more.
Sansa smiled at that and decided to start making the preparations for the upcoming visits of the most important Lords and Ladies of the Seven Kingdoms, including her cousin… The King.
GENDRY'S POV
I was getting ready to go to Winterfell. I felt so excited and not only because there was a big possibility in seeing her again… he was really happy for the bride and groom. He couldn't think of a better match for Sansa than Lord Tyrion. They were both highborn, they both came from great houses, they were both ridiculously smart and they both helped Gendry a lot in becoming a proper Lord. He was so grateful and so, he decided to make them a wedding present with his own two hands. He decided that was way more personal and they would really appreciate it. He was deep in his thoughts when Davos entered the forge he was working in.
Davos: Here you are boy! I knew I would find you here. What are you making?
Gendry: (Looking at the metal in front of him) A Wedding present for Lady Sansa and Lord Tyrion. Two rings with the symbols of their houses joined together.
Davos: (With a proud look in his face) Ah! It seems like you have it all under control. Good job lad. I was going to tell you that you should give something to the newlyweds, but you are ahead of me.
Gendry: (Smiling) It just makes good sense. Plus It keeps my mind off things.
Davos: Well that's good news… I also wanted to tell you that you received a raven from Lady Dana Reed. She said that she hopes that you'll be at the wedding and she also thanked you once again for your hospitality during her visit last year.
Gendry: (Stopping his work for a minute and looking at Davos) Oh! That's good to hear. It would be very nice to see her again… she was always very kind to me.
Davos: (Smiling at Gendry) You know… she would make a wonderful wife, lad. You should think about it (Pause) I know you have issues with the subject but you really need to start thinking about it. You wanted me to come here and help you become a Lord… well having a wife and producing heirs is a big part of being a Lord. Just think about it alright?
Gendry: (Giving up) I know Davos... I have been thinking about it already. I know what people are expecting from me now. I just… I wish it was with her (Pause) I wish I could have a chance to tell her what I really feel. What I really wanted from her but… I guess she never loved me the way I loved her. She never has and she never will (Smashing the metal in front of him once again) So… I guess I will move on.
Davos: I'm sorry lad. But it's good to hear you want to move on. I'll check if we have everything ready for our trip tomorrow.
Gendry: Thank you Davos, for everything.
ARYA'S POV
FOUR DAYS LATER
After spending so much time traveling the world… it felt nice to feel the cold breeze from the north again. She said that she was never coming back but deep down she knew it wasn't true. Anna and she were traveling by horse on the side of the main rode. She didn't want to cross paths with anybody while she made it to the inn where Hot Pie worked. She hoped he would still be working there.
Anna: Where are we mommy?
Arya: This is an inn and very good friend of mine works in here or at least he used to
Anna: Oh oh! I know! You told me about him… Hot Pie!
Hot Pie: (Appearing out of nowhere) Yes?
Arya: (Turning to find the owner of the voice) Hot Pie? Is that you?
Hot Pie: (Running towards Arya and hugging her) Arry! You came back! I'm so glad to see you.
Arya: Me too Hot Pie. It's always great to see an old friend like you. How have you been?
Hot Pie: It's been great Arry! I'm head baker now and I have a little house in a town nearby. I can't complain. But, what about you? I heard that your sister is getting married! Congratulations! Is that why you're here?
Arya: (smiling at her friend) Yes, that's why I'm here. Well one of the reasons why (pointing at Anna) This is my daughter… Anna Stark.
Hot Pie: (Noticing Anna for the first time) Holy Shit! She looks just like you!
Anna: (Laughing at Hot Pie) Hahaha It's nice to meet Hot Pie, my mom has told me a lot about you and the little wolves you make for her.
Hot Pie: (Blushing a little bit) oh isn't that nice? I'm very happy to meet you Anna. I'm going to make a little wolf for you too, do you want it?
Anna: Yes! Thank you! I have always wanted to try one
Arya: Thank you Hot Pie, that's very kind of you. We are planning to eat here and then get back on our horse and ride straight to Winterfell.
Hot Pie: Oh great! That reminds me. Remember Gendry? Well It turns out he is Robert Baratheon's Bastard and now he is the Lord of Storms End. He came two nights ago and I almost didn't recognize him. I baked him a couple of breads in the shape of a stag but I never got a chance to give them to him. Could you give them to him? When you see him? I hate to throw food away
Anna: Lord Gendry was here? I have always wanted to meet him as well! He made my mom a special weapon to fight the White Walkers! Can I meet him when we get to Winterfell? Mommy please!
Arya had frozen since the first moment Gendry was mentioned. She decided to respond in the calmest way possible
Arya: Of course I know about the new Lord of the Storms Lands. And of course I will him your breads Hot Pie and (turning her gaze towards Anna) of course you will meet him. I promise.
Anna: Oh thank you so much mommy! He has always been my favorite from your stories!
Arya: (Smiling at her daughter and kneeling in front of her) I know baby girl… he is my favorite too.
