Chapter 4: Saying goodbye is hard
Robb woke up and the chamber was still dark he looked to his right and he was alone in the bed. He looked at the ceiling and wondered if what happen tonight was real or it was a dream because if it was Robb wanted to dream it again. There was a sound in the chamber and Robb lifted his head to see his now wife Naida crouching by the fire and putting more wood into it with noting but a sheet covering her her hair was full of flowers. Robb could not help but to admire his wife not only because of her beauty but because she made their bedding ceremony more relaxed to which they both enjoyed it very much. Robb sat on the and Naida stood and turned to face him with a soft smile on her face.
"I am sorry if i woke you up. I did not mean to. I woke up and the fire was dying down so i put some more wood in." Naida said and Robb stood up without covering himself. Naida looked away with a slight blush on her face.
"You have seen it all before why shy away now?" Robb asked and Naida looked at him with a chuckle.
"I was a bit drunk before and more daring." She said as she stood next to her feeling the warm fire.
"I like it when you are daring. It make you different from the other women i knew. They were always very proper and Lady like." Robb said.
"Are you saying that i am not Lady like?" Naida said with and narrowed her eyes at him. She looked at his frightened face and began to laugh. Robb let out the air his been holding and shook his head at his wife.
"What i meant that they always watched what they said or did and you say what you want and i like that about you." Robb said.
"I have dealt with many people Robb, they were cranky and demanding and when you try and be proper they take advantage of you. Sometimes you just need to tell a person to stuff if where the sun does not shine and let them get on with their day." Naida said and Robb's eyes went wide. Naida covered her mouth.
"I need to watch my tongue around your mother or she would wash my mouth with soap." Naida said and they both laughed.
"My mother likes you very much." Robb said.
"And i like her. She loved you so much Robb and she want you to be happy. I know that this not what you wanted. This marriage and i am sorry that you were forced into it." Naida said looking into the fire. Robb took her face in his hand and made her look at him.
"From what i have heard so were you. It is true i did not want this marriage, i wanted to ass and get my father back but i am very glad that i wed you. You are one of a kind Naida and you are all mine." Robb said and kissed her softly but the kiss quickly turned passionate and consuming like the fire they stood next to. Robb broke the kiss and looked at his wife
"Are you sore Naida?" Naida looked at him in confusion before it dawned on her what he meant.
"I have no possibility of comparison but i feel fine. I bit odd but it does not hurt" Naida said.
"Are you all right to make love again so soon." Robb asked and Naida had to smile at him concern for her.
"I am well Robb thank you for your concern." She said brought his face by the neck and kissed him hard on the mouth. Robb dropped the sheet that she had around her and moaned as her body touched him. She put her on the the rug that was in front of the fire and they made love again.
The sun was rising when Naida wok up again after a short but but restful slumber. She was on her belly with her face in her pillow so she turned into the her back and stretched.
"I am glad you woke up, we need to start to get ready and leave as soon as possible." She heard her husbands voice and could not believe that she was a wife now. She sat up covering her with a sheet and watched as the maids brought the water and poured it into the tub.
"Are you packed?" Robb asked and Naida nodded an wiped her face of the remaining sleep as she yawned.
"I have, in my chamber there are two piles of my things. The smaller pile comes with us and the much bigger pile can go to Winterfell. I spoke with your mother about it." She said yawning again making Robb chuckle. She looked at Robb who sat at the foot of the bed.
"Then i will have my men move it" Robb said
"I must look a mess." She said. Robb looked at her and her hair all over the place and a couple of flowers still in her head. He took one flower from her hair.
"Yes you look a mess but you are my mess now." Robb said and Naida smiled at him. The maid left and Robb took her by the hand and led her to the bath tub. She sat down on the hot water and moaned ad it did wonders for her sore muscles. She looked at Robb with her big eyes
"Are you not coming in there is enough room for both of us." She said and Robb was taken aback at first. He never taken a bath with anybody but now that he is married it might be appropriate. He sat down behind her as she rested her back against him. The feeling of hot water and her was heavenly for Robb.
"Are you ready for us leaving." Robb asked her as they began to wash each other body.
"Yes I am ready although i will miss my sisters very much but i knew that this time will come rather sooner than later. My father could not wait until i was of age to be married off." Naida said with venom on her voice.
"Why do you say so?" Robb asked and looked at the split lip of his wife that was healing.
"My father hates me. My older siblings told me that he loved my mother very much but she died giving birth to me therefore i am the thing that killed the woman he loved." Naida said and Robb made her look at him.
"You know that it is not your fault right."He said and Naida nodded.
"Off course women die during labour. But it is how it is and i cannot change that. I am glad i will be leaving this castle soon enough." Naida said.
"Yes you will leave with me." Robb said kissing her shoulder. They washed quickly and began to dress themselves. They need to go to the great hall for the last breakfast before they leave. Robb just finished putting his shoes on when he looked at his wife who was holding the sheets in her hands. He walked over to her and saw the brown stain on it. She put it back on the bed with a deep sigh.
"My father will want to see those sheets. He needs to have his prove. This is so embarrassing." She said with her head down.
"It will just be a few minutes and then it will be over." Robb said kissing the top of her head.
"Yes let get this over with so we can get out of here." Robb said and Naida nodded. The walked into the great hall hand in hand.
"Well look who we have here. Did my daughter please you My Lord i must say her mother was very good at making me come." Lord Frey said with a dirty laugh and Naida had to close her eyes and take a deep breath to calm herself down. She hated that man with all of her heart.
"I believe that it should stay between me and my wife My Lord." Robb said with a tight jaw.
"Fine do not tell us. Now show us the prove that they joined as man and wife." Lord Frey said as two maids came into the the hall with the blood stained sheet. Naida looked down and tighten her hands in fist. Robb took one of her hands in his and held it until the maids left the hall.
"Well now that we have prove that joined and let hope that you have put a pup in her or will soon." Walder Frey said with a chuckle.
"There is no rush Lord Frey, when the Gods feel its time they will grant them with a child." Catelyn said and Naida looked at her with a grateful look.
"Gods have no say in it. You just have to take your wife and spill your seed into her." Robb got angry that he was talking about his wife like she was an object.
"I believe that we should leave now. We cannot waste daylight." Robb had to get out of there or else he feared he will punch Lord Frey.
Naida was hugged by three of her sisters as they all tried to not cry on front of their father.
"Write to us as much as you can." Ysmey said squeezing her hand lightly.
"Maybe you can arrange some of your husbands bannermen to marry me." Roslin said meaning as a joke but they all knew she was sincere.
"Visit us soon Naida. I will miss you so much." Sherai said and Naida crouched down to her.
"Me too my sweet. We will see each other soon. I promise." Sherai hugged her one more time before she stood up and walked away to her husband. Robb offered her a hand and she took it gratefully.
She mounted her horse and they were on the way crossing the bridge that took them away from the castle and the place she called home. Naida looked back and let a tear leave an eyes as she thought about her sisters and Maester Cedric she was leaving behind.
"It is not easy leaving behind your home but every woman has to do it one day." Catelyn said and she rode next to her.
"Yes it is very hard especially when you know that you are not going to see them in a long time." Naida said with a sad smile.
"It will get better. You will have a new family soon." Catelyn said with a smile and Naida blushed a little. Yes she will have her own family soon. She looked at Robb who was at the beginning of the train and smiled. She cannot wait to be with child.
"Yes i hope so. I was wondering is it wise having a child whilst there is a war raging on?" Naida asked concern.
"No it is not right but is there a right time for a child. Men like Robb need that little happiness in his life." Catelyn said and Naida nodded.
Naida Catelyn and Ser Rodrick were waiting for Robb and their bannermen to come from a battle. A long time had passed and they were not coming back. Naida looked at Catelyn and saw how distressed she was. Naida was also worried. Although it has been just a week since they have been wed she began to have feeling for her husband. She did not love him yet but she was very fond of him. She wanted him safe.
"My Ladies we should go." Ser Rodrick said
"No we will not go." She said with a firm voice. She looked at Ser Rodrick with hard eyes.
"We are not moving here until my husband and his men are back." Naida said and heard galloping of the horse and Stark bannermen appeared from behind the trees. All of the stress left Naida's body when she saw Robb at the front of his men. She closed her eyes and thanked the Gods that she was well and came back to him. She took Catelyn's hand in hers and squeezed it. Catelyn looked at her with tears in her eyes and smiled.
"He is back and he is fine." Naida whispered and Catelyn let out the air she has been holding.
They captured Jamie Lannister as a hostage and won the battle. She was so happy for her husband and so proud to be married to him. He was young but he knew what he was doing and he had good and wise men to advice him. The men cheered for the victory but Robb put them in the place and told them that they had yet to win the war and they had more to prove and to win. Naida looked at her husband and was in awe of him and his bravery. She was so proud to call him his.
Soon they were alone Naida dragged her husband into their tend and kissed him passionately. She was so glad that he was alive and back to her and she wanted to show him that.
"If that is the welcome I get when i come back after a battle i must leave more often." Robb said breathlessly as he was undressing his wife.
"Shut up and kiss me." She said and he did just that.
