Chapter 5: Alyssa

Alyssa Waters sighed as she entered her son's room, as expected, it was a mess.

'Honestly Gendry.' She thought to herself.

As usual she set about tidying the room up. It was one of the few things about her son which perplexed her. Household chores like dishes, taking out the trash, basically tidying the rest of the house, he did no problem; but his own room was another story altogether.

She shook her head as she worked, glad Gendry was out at the moment. 'I'd never get this done otherwise. If he can do such a good job with the rest of the house, why not his own room...I mean honestly, he's not a teenager anymore.'

Still as she cleaned up she reflected on Gendry's current absence from the house.

She guessed where he was. 'He's with Arya I'm sure...those two...'

She smiled lightly at the thought of her son's girlfriend. True she had been worried at first, her son had fallen for a girl of high society. It had reminded her of her own past with Robert Baratheon.

But despite her fears, Arya had been true to Gendry, especially after he had apparently saved her from a dark and terrible time in her life. Alyssa didn't pry for details; if Arya wanted to tell her, she would.

Now Arya had been around the house a few times and Alyssa could honestly say she had grown fond of the girl.

'Her family is different too...They're all so caring. I've never seen Gendry happier either.' She recalled; before she made her discovery. 'What...Gods, Gendry?!'

For in her hands, she had just picked up, a box of condoms.

She was shocked, startled; she knew Arya and Gendry were close, that they obviously had needs, but she never imagined them to be sexually active. Of course as usual, in situations such as this, it was at that moment Gendry had to have returned home and just had to walk into his room.

"Hey mum." He greeted her, friendly. "Ah, sorry about this, I meant to; clean my...room..."

He trailed off as he saw what she was holding and saw the look on her face.

An uneasy silence fell between them.

Gendry finally broke it. "Gods, mum, I..."

"Gendry, these...are you…?"

He sighed. "Yes mum, we are...I just..."

Alyssa couldn't deny, she was shocked; but she did take consolation in one thing.

She voiced that consolation. "At least you're being safe. But I think we may need to establish some new ground rules."

Gendry just laughed, uneasily, but nodded. Alyssa left the room, Gendry opting to finish tidying up. All the same, she couldn't deny; while glad they were being safe; she still felt uneasy about Arya and Gendry being active.

She wondered if the Starks knew and then decided she'd actually rather not know the answer to that.

Again, it was something that would just have to come out when they were finally ready.


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