Chapter 6: New proposals
Robb looked at his wife who has was barely standing on her feet and when her eyes rolled back to her head his heart literally stopped. He caught her just before she fell to the ground and took his into her arms and took her to the bed.
"Help! I need a healer! Now!" Robb shouted and cradled his wife's face in his hands. His mother came running to the tent.
"Robb what has happened?" She asked gasping as she looked at the woman lying on the bed.
"She passed out. Get me a healer! Now!" He screamed looking at his guards.
"There is no need for a healer." a voice from the bed whispered and Robb looked at his wife who had her eyes opened.
"Naida are you all right?" Robb asked as he let er sit up a little.
"Yes i am fine." She said massaging her head as she had a splitting headache.
"You are in need of a healer Your Grace." Lady Talisa came to the tent and Naida looked at her with narrowed eyes. Catelyn saw that look.
"Yes my wife has passed out i want her checked over." Robb said standing up but not leaving Naida's side.
"I said i have no need for a healer. I know what is wrong with me and i can take care of myself. Thank you Lady Talisa you may take your leave." Naida said with a tight smile. Talisa just curtseyed and left the tent and Naida was very glad of it.
"Why sis you sent her away? What if there was something serious and you needed help." Robb asked looking at his wife with disbelief. She just looked at him and he backed down. He knew that their fight was far from over and he did not wanted it to be in front of his mother.
"Husband you seem to forget that i am also a healer and i know perfectly what is wrong with me. I do not need someone else's opinion of what is wrong with me, now pass me my back i need something for my headache." Naida said to Robb but Catelyn saw the how her hand lay protectively on her stomach and she understood perfectly fine what was wrong with her. Robb passed her the bag.
"Can you tell me what is wrong with you." Robb said.
"I am perfectly healthy. I just haven't ate or drank much today. I must be dehydrated." Naida said and tried not to move away from Robb's hand at he put it on her shoulder.
"Why haven't you eaten today?" Robb sat down at her.
"I wasn't feeling like it and then i had to attend to the men." Naida said and Robb pinched the bridge of his nose.
"That is not your duty Naida. There are other healers as well." Robb said and looked at her.
"There were none at hand. I was the only one. I cannot sit in the tent all day Robb. I was always doing something and now i sit here doing nothing." Naida said and Catelyn walked over to her.
"Naida you are a Queen. You are their Queen. They need you to stay alive all of us. Robb needs you to stay alive, your duty is to produce and heir and many more children." Catelyn said and Naida closed her eyes.
"I never wanted to be one of those women who just sit and birth children. I cannot do that. That is not me." Naida said and Catelyn chuckled.
"You remind me of my daughter Arya. She also was not very keen of getting married and having children. She wanted to fight." Naida smiled at her.
"I will send someone to bring you some food. You need to eat." Catelyn said and left them alone in the tent.
"I was worried about you when you fell like that." Robb said caressing Naida's cheek. She moved away and Robb looked down.
"I had to faint for you to leave you Lady Talisa and check on me. That makes me feel so good." Naida said taking a drink from the goblet as the sarcasm was just dripping from her voice.
"She is not My Lady Talisa. Naida there is nothing between us. I have never visited her tend i do not even know where it is and i never had any feeling for her. You are my wife Naida. You are my Queen. How can i look at someone else when i have your beautiful face right in front of me." Robb said his thumb touching her lips. She closed her eyes relishing in the feeling of her husband. She opened her eyes and moved his hand away.
"If you think flaterry will get you out of this than you are wrong. You treated me like shit for the last couple of weeks and that is not fine." Naida said and Rob chuckled as he looked down shaking his head. His wife had a foul tongue and that was what he loved the most about her.
"What are you laughing at, this is not a laughing matter." Naida said punching his shoulder.
"You know striking you king is an act of treason." Robb said holding onto her wrist.
"When i am done with you punching will be the last thing that you have to worry about. See that bag, i have a draught that would make you shit for hours on end. Another one is where you stomach will hurt so much you would want to kill yourself. There are many more that i am not willing to say so you better watch out Robb Stark King in the North." Naida said and Robb just shook his head and took her hand in his and kissed it.
"Naida i am really sorry for leaving you and ignoring you all those weeks i just had to come to term of loosing my father. I will promise this will not happen again and there is nothing going on between me and Lady Talisa. I love you Naida." Naida looked at him and gasped. He just told her that he loved her. Tears sprung in her eyes and she began to laugh like a crazy person. Robb just looked at her and kissed her lips. He missed her and her touch. He wanted to be consumed by his wife.
Naida broke the kiss an looked at him.
"You know you have so much grovelling to do." She said and Robb laughed.
"I do not doubt that." He said and the food was long forgotten.
Robb told his wife and his mother of Theon's proposition to him about allying with Balon Greyjoy. Catelyn stood from her chair angry.
"What have you said to him. Did you send him to Iron Islands?" Catelyn asked angry.
"I said i will think about it. I have yet given him an answer." Robb said trying to calm his mother down.
"Good you will tell him that he is not going anywhere. Balon cannot be trusted. He hated you father." Catelyn said pacing back and forth in the tent
"He has two hundred ship and a lot of men mother. This could be a good alliance." Robb said standing up.
"Your father had to go to war to end his rebellion he lost his two sons because of it and his only living son was taken to the North as a punishment. Something like that will not be forgotten." Catelyn said
"Yes and i now i started a rebellion and so did my father. You married one rebel and mothered another." Robb said and Catelyn sat down.
"I have not only mothered a Rebel. What about the girls they are in Kings Landing. The Queen is digging her nails into Sansa and i have yet heard a word from Arya." Catelyn said and her eyes were full of sorrow and fear. Naida left Robb's side and moved to Catelyn and held her hand.
"I cannot trade in the Kingslayer for the girls i will lose my men." Robb said and Catelyn said and she looked defeated. Naida looked at Robb.
"Do not send Theon to Pyke Robb, Greyjoys are not trustworthy. They will sell you out for a rotten piece of bread. We do not need them, we will figure something else." Naida said and Robb knew that he lost the battle. Robb put his head down.
"I need to go home Robb. Back to Winterfell. I haven't seen Bran and Rickon for month now." Catelyn said in a whisper. Robb looked at her.
"Mother is i cannot send Theon to Pyke i need you to to go to Stromsend to negotiate with Renly in my name. I will send Ser Rodrick to watch over them. Renly has rallied 100, 000 men. You know him mother and i do not trust anyone as much as i trust you. If we ally with them there will be twice as much men against the Lannisters and they will ask for piece and that is how we will get the girls back" Robb said and Catelyn stood next to Robb.
"Fine i will ride at first light." Catelyn said and Robb kissed her hands and hugged her close. She looked at Naida who stood and hugged her.
"Please be careful and may the Gods watch you on your way." Naida said and Catelyn nodded and left the tent. Robb looked at Naida who stood there and kissed her forehead.
"I will miss her but i believe that this is a right move. I want this war to be over. I want to go home with you." Naida said and Robb nodded.
"Me too i want this to be over. I want to raised our child in Winterfell and have many more." Robb said and Naida lost her smile, she had yet to tell Robb that she was with child. She did not want to yet. The pregnancy at this stage was very risky and a chance at a marriage's is also high. She did not want to get Robb's hoped up and then she will lose the child. She will tell him later. She looked at Robb and smiled.
"I want that too Robb. I want a herd of children running around our castle." Naida said and Robb smiled.
"Shall we go and make a little Stark then." Robb put her over her shoulder and took her to her bed as she squealed. She laid in bed and Robb hovered above her. He kissed her lips with a passions she had never felt from him. Robb broke the kiss and looked at his wife with grey eyes clouded with lust.
"I love you so much Naida." Robb said kissing Naida's neck to make her moan.
"And i love you Robb." She said.
A fortnight ha passed when Catelyn came back to Robb. She was accompanied with a woman that was taller then most he knew.
"Mother you have come earlier than expected." Robb went and hugged his mother.
"This is Lady Brienne of Tarth, she was in Renly's Kingsguard. I am so sorry but Renly is dead." Catelyn said.
"Dead, how can this be, he was not in any battle." Rob asked him mother.
"He was killed my a shadow with Stannis's face." Brienne said.
"A shadow?" Robb asked unable to believe.
"You may or may not believe me but i only told you what i have seen." Catelyn said
"Show Lady Brienne to her tent, i want her well rested. Thank you my Lady for bringing my mother home." Robb said and kissed her hand and Brienne blushed a little.
"I was only doing was duty your Grace." Brienne said she bowed and left. Robb and Catelyn went back to Robb's tent where Naida was reading a book. Her face lit up when she saw that Catelyn was back.
"Mother i have missed you." She walked over to Catelyn and gave her a hug. she noticed that Naida was thicker around the waist. She gave Naida a look and she just shook her head. They will need to talk about that later now Catelyn had other issues at hand.
"We need to give back the Kingslayer to the Lannister. We need to get the girls back home. We do not have another way." Catelyn said and Robb sighed.
"Mother i cannot do that. My men will not allow it. I cannot afford to lose any of them now that we do not have Renly." Robb said.
"I will not stand for my children being there. I need them home with me. They can kill them." Catelyn was raising her voice
"It is more complicated than that and you know it. I will find a way to get the girls back home even if it is the last think that i do but giving them a Kingslayer is not the way." Robb was also shouting now.
"How do you plan on getting them back then. Do you not see that it is the only way." Catelyn tried to plead with her boy but she was just as stubborn as his father.
"We will not be giving up the Kingslayer that is my final word." Rob said with a tight jaw and Catelyn just left his tent. Robb took a deep breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He lifted his head and looked at Naida.
"I am doing the right think not giving him back." Robb asked and Naida walked over to him and hugged him. Robb buried his nose in her hair and breathed in the familiar scent of his wife.
"Yes you are, you know your men will never agree to this. You cannot afford to lose me if you want to win this war." Naida said feeling safe in his arms.
"Then how will i get the girls back and how will i win this war?" Rob asked and Naida made him look at her.
"You will figure something else. I know you will. We can go back to my father and ask him for more men you know he has them." Naida said
"Ho can i convince him to give up any more of his men?" Robb asked
"He wants to marry off his daughter to a great House, you have many Noble houses here." Naida said.
"I will have to think about it. I need to win this was Naida. I need to get my sisters back. I will never forgive myself if i do no bring them home." Robb said with a sad look.
"You will bring them back my love. I believe in you. Those Lannisters will be nothing when you are finished with them." Naida said and kissed Robb.
"I apologize your Grace for interrupting but the council meeting will be starting soon." One of Robb bannermen said and they broke apart both moaning with disapproval.
"Go on then my Young Wolf. It seemed that you are married to your men rather than me." Naida said.
"Trust my my wife they are not as beautiful as you are." Robb called back making Naida laugh.
"Go or else i will not let you go." Naida said and Robb waved at her. Naida shook her head.
She saw Catelyn walking somewhere and she decided to fallow her to see what she would do. She was very angry when she left the tent and she wanted to see if she was all right.
She saw Catelyn going into the direction of the Kingslayer and she knew what she wanted to do. Catelyn wanted to free Jamie Lannister in hope that he would tell this and they would release her daughters. She cannot let that happen. That would ruin everything that Robb has fought for. Naida ran up to Catelyn and stopped her by her arm.
"Mother do not do this." Naida pleased with Catelyn.
"I have made up my mind and you will not change it." Catelyn said with determination.
"You cannot do this Mother. Do you want Robb to lose his life. Do you want your grandchild to grow up without a father." Naida said and Catelyn stopped.
"Have you told Robb?" Catelyn asked and Naida shook her head.
"I did not want to tell him and then i would lose the babe. I wanted to tell him when the risk of miscarriage is lower." Naida said
"Then you understand why i have to do it. You understand that as a mother i need to do everything to save my children." Catelyn said.
"If you let him go you are condemning your son to lose the war than all of us will die. Do you not understand that you letting him go will weaken our position and will bring discord to our people and will be going again Robb. Then he will lose the war. He will die and so will i and your grandchild you and all your children. Do you want that?" Naida said and Catelyn just nodded and let her tears fall.
"I just want to get my girls back home." Catelyn said and Naida took her in her arms and went back to her tent.
"You will get them back i promise you. They will be with you sooner rather than later and they will be unharmed." Naida said.
When they went back to Naida's tent Robb was waiting for them. He looked at them and his eyes were shining.
"I have come up with another solution to help us win the war. The Tyrells, they are the second most richest family in all if the country if they will ally with us then we will win this war and we all can go home." Robb said and Catelyn looked at him with wide eyes.
"What benefit will they have in allying with us. They can only ally with us if we give them a marriage proposal. The Tyrell girl is 20 years old and Bran is only 12 years old. We cannot get them to marry." Catelyn said.
"I know that mother but i was not thinking about Bran. I am the King in the North so i have the power of legitimising Jon. He will become a Stark and my heir. We can propose a marriage between them two." Robb said and Catelyn looked at him with wide eyes.
So what did you think? What is a good idea? I know that Jon cannot leave the Castle Black in the real but this is AU and Robb is the King so lets just play along. I have something else planned for Jon as well so please please please please please please give it a try and do not be discouraged by this pair and outcome. I know that this might be mad but in my head it work and i have a weird mind. Okay people a little spoiler. We have two or three chapter i will see how i will play it out until the Red Wedding and yes i have something planned and yes blood will be spilled. Sometimes i have no idea where my ideas come from so please stay tuned in and watch out for the Red Wedding. Okay enough of my rambling and please review i love to read what you think about it.
