Chapter 24

Rickon bit his lip, he was clad once more in his dark blue pyjama trousers. He wasn't sure how Lyanna's family agreed to this, it was tentative to say the best but, it happened. Lyanna was staying the night with Rickon and his family.

'We...we're staying together, no matter what, tonight, we need each other.' He reflected. 'Thankfully my family understands.'

As he thought this he entered his bedroom. Lyanna was already there, in her black pyjama shorts and matching pyjama T-shirt.

"Hey." She whispered. "Um..."

He nodded. "I know, I...I can't make it alone either; but we have each other."

"And our families." She added, managing a small smile.

Rickon nodded; ever since they'd been released from the hospital three days ago; things had drastically changed for the both of them, for the better. Not only that; but things were slowly but surely getting better with Arya too, especially as she was now back on speaking terms with the family and as such visited now. Rickon knew his parents had agreed to let the two of them spend the night together.

"So...um, should we..."

Lyanna sighed. "I don't know about you, but I'm ready for bed, I'm exhausted."

Rickon nodded. "Me too."

Sharing a small smile, they both climbed into Rickon's bed.

As they lay together, holding each other, doing everything they could to comfort each other through their potential nightmares; doing what they could to help each other sleep. The horrors they faced were still strong, but they were determined to face it together. Watching them from the ajar doorway was Ned and Cat.

"Oh Ned, to think, all this...that happened to them." She whispered. "Why did it have to happen to them, it's horrible."

Ned nodded. "I know Cat, I know; but we can't change it. All we can do is be there for them and help them through it. The best way to do that, is focus on the good that has come out of this."

"I...You're right; Rickon and Lyanna are happy together and can get through this together. Also Arya is with us again and...Bran and Jojen, so much has changed." Cat replied.

Smiling together they both held each other knowing that they had come close to losing all that. But now they wouldn't let that happen and they would gladly cherish them from now on.


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