Chapter 7: Baby on board
"Have you gone mad!" Catelyn looked at him with big eye and her mouth remained after he finished talking.
"Jon snow is your father's bastard and not your brother." Catelyn screamed at Robb.
"Jon is my brother and always have been just like Bran and Rickon have been it is you who who have never been able to see it." Robb shouted back at his mother and Naida was once again caught between a fighting son and mother. She was getting tired of it now.
"I will not let this happen. This is something that your son should be, not Jon Snow." said.
"If you have another solution than please enlightened me." Robb shouted
"Send them the Kingslayer and they will have to send the girls back." Catelyn shouted at Robb who was red faced now.
"How many times will i tell you that i am not sending back the Kingslayer. Do you want me to lose this war?" Robb shouted back at her.
"Catelyn this is a good plan. The Tyrells have money and they have men ready to go. This would help us greatly and everyone will fear us do you not agree." Naida said trying to calm down the situation between them two.
"So you would agree that your son would be deprived of his titles and give it to someone else?" Catelyn asked Naida, she could not believe what she was hearing.
"To win this war and get back home safely i would sell my own soul. I want this war finished and i want us to go home. It is not a big price to pay. You can get the girls back and go home." Naida said and Catelyn just shook her head at them both.
"So you tell me that you will deprive your son of his birthright. I cannot believe it." She said and went out of the tent. Naida called in the guard.
"Make sure that Lady Stark is guarded at all times. She cannot leave her tent at any time and make sure that no one goes toward the Kingslayer. Also please make sure that Lady Brienne does not go to any of them." Naida said at the guard.
"Yes My Queen." He said and left the tent and Robb looked at his wife in question.
"Why are you holding my mother captive?" He asked.
"I am not keeping her captive i am just preventing something bad happening." She explained popping a fruit in her mouth.
"Can you elaborate?" Robb stood next to her and she sighed.
"Fine, you mother earlier this evening was about to let the Kingslayer go and i prevented her from that. Now i am not sure what will she do so i am just keeping cautious." Naida said and Robb go red from anger again. It always makes Naida want to laugh but she does not.
"What did she wanted to do?" Robb asked getting a weird shade of purple now.
"Breathe my love she did not so it. I stopped her." Naida said making Robb sit down on a chair and she sat down on his lap.
"If you would have not stopped her she would have let him explain and the no one would take me seriously and i would lose the war. What was she thinking." Robb said putting his head into Naida's bosom.
"She was thinking about taking her children home. She wanted them safe. And i understand her. But she did not do it." Naida said and Robb looked at her.
"Only because you stopped her." Robb said
"Yes aren't i the best." Naida said popping another grape in her mouth. Robb laughed.
"I have no idea what i would do without you." Robb said as NAida combed her fingers through his curls
"Well you would have more time to spend with Lady Talisa and who knows what might have happen then." Naida said and Rob gave her a look.
"How many times will i have to tell you nothing was between us. What do you want me to do and i will do it." Robb said and Naida looked down.
"I would have asked you to send her away but i know you need al the healers you have so i will not do it. I do not want to see you in your presence ever again." Naida said.
"Done i will never see her again. You know i kind of like it when your jealous." Robb said bitting her shoulder.
"I am not jealous Robb i merely keeping you from unnecessary pain." Naida said.
"Ah yes that bloody back of yours" Robb said
"Yes and never forget that." Naida said eating another grape.
"You have been eating the a lot now i just realised." Robb said and Naida swallowed hard. Yes she had been having a craving for them lately. She had gone quiet and she put her head down. Robb put a finger under her chin and made her look at him.
"Naida what is going on? Did i offend you?" Robb asked getting worried.
"Oh no you have not offended me my love. It is just when i said that understand how your mother is feeling i meant that i would do anything to keep our baby safe." Naida said and Robb smiled and kissed her lips lightly.
"I know you will, i would not expect anything else from you. So how about we go and make a babe you can look after." Robb said kissing Naida's neck. She wanted to but it was time to tell him so she made him look at her.
"You did not understand me. I would do anything to protect the babe i am carrying now." Naida said and Rob looked at her with big bright eyes.
"What now? Are you certain." He asked her and she nodded as tears prickled her eyes.
"Yes i am, i have been certain for a while now." Naida said looking lovingly at Robb.
"How long is a while?" Robb asked her with a frown.
"I knew for about 6 weeks but i wanted to tell you when i was out of the danger so and now that i am 12 weeks along i can tell you. Are you angry with me that i did not tell you sooner." Naida said with her big grey doe eyes looking at him.
"How can I be angry at you. You are my Queen and you are having my child." Robb said kissing her nose and laughing.
"Yes i have a little Prince or a Princess inside of me." Naida said smiling wide.
"Or one of each." Robb said hopefully.
"Do not be greedy now Robb. We have time to make many more babes." Naida said and Robb laughed. Robb looked at Naida and kissed her deeply making her toes curl.
"I love you Naida. You are the best thing that happened to me. I do not know where i would be without you." Robb said and Naida looked at him.
"I love you too Robb so much. You and this child are the only reason i am alive." Naida said and Robb stood up from the bed kissing her and took her to bed. Tonight there will be no talk of war. Only they mattered
"Your Grace, My Queen a raven came from Riverrun." Roose Bolton said and gave a letter to Robb, Naida sat down on a char and Robb read the letter.
"My grandfather is dead." Robb said and Naida stood next to him and held him by the arm.
"I am so sorry my love. Are you all right." Naida said looking at him with concern. Robb looked at her with sad eyes.
"I have never met him but i heard he was a great man." Robb said.
"It will break your mother's heart." Naida said and Robb sighed.
"I know but i need to tell her." Robb said and Naida nodded.
Robb walked to his mother tent and when she saw him she came up to him angry.
"What is the meaning of this Robb. Your wife is keeping me in this tent like a prisoner. I want to be let out this instant." Angry Catelyn said
"My wife is a Queen and she can do whatever she pleases do not forget that mother. She keeps you here because you wanted to let out the Kingslayer. I still do not understand why would you not understand where i am coming from." Robb said to his mother who turned away from him.
"You are not a parent. You do not understand what it feels like." Catelyn said with a defeated tone.
"I will be a parent soon and i understand you mother but we cannot let him out. We need him. He is our only bargaining cheep." Robb said
"So your wife finally decided to tell you." Catelyn said turning around with a small smile of her face.
"How long have you known." Robb asked his mother.
"Since the day she has passed out. She knew it then as well." She said and Robb shook his head. He looked at his mother with a sad smile.
"Mother there were news from Riverrun. Hoster Tully is dead." Robb said and Catelyn grasped at her heart and fell on a chair behind her. She shook her head as tears began fall from her eyes. Robb crouched down in front of her and hugged her close to him as his mother cried. He knows how much pain she is now. It took a while for Catelyn to calm down but when she did she looked at Robb with red puffy eyes.
"It has been years since i have seen him i do not even know how many." Catelyn said shaking her head.
"We will travel to the funeral together." Robb said and Catelyn nodded.
"I think i am going to lie down, i need to rest. This war is exhausting me." She said and Robb shook his head.
"After the funeral you will go back to Winterfell. Bran and Rickon need you more than me." Catelyn looked at her son with a sad smile.
"Yes i think I am too old for this war." Catelyn said and Robb smiled.
"I am going to miss you having me by my side all the time." Robb said and Catelyn took Robb's hand.
"You will have your wife here by your side. She is a smart one and one of a kind. I know she was not your choice but she is the best one out there." Catelyn said and Robb nodded.
"I know mother. I never knew i would fall in love with her so quickly but she makes it very easy on me." Robb said and Catelyn smiled.
When they arrived at Riverrun Naida wished that they have arrived at a different occasion. She loved the place. It was so beautiful that she was just captivated by it yet she could not show her enthusiasm it was a sombre occasion.
At the funeral she stood with Catelyn who was holding her hand for dear life. Naida could see that this whole situation the stress of the war not getting the girls back and not seeing her sons was really stressful for her and on top of that her father died. Naida was worried about Catelyn and her heart. She was not a young woman after all. Naida was glad that Catelyn was going back to Winterfell after this. She would feel safer in her own home.
Naida watched as the flame took over Hoster's body as his boat moved down the river. It was a beautiful goodbye and she wished she could go away like this as well. Robb held onto Naida's hand and she looked up at him with a tear falling from her eyes.
Naida was standing in front of the many windows looking upon the river with a worried expression on her face. Robb had just gone to a battle that was lead by the Mountains army. Their plan was to lead them west into our county so that they can surround them and kill them all. Naida's heart was pounding on her chest. She had heart about the Mountain and how vicious he is. He prayed to all the Gods that he would come home unharmed. She needed him to be back. They needed him to be back. They have been gone almost two days now and they had no word from them. Naida touched her stomach.
"Do not worry my child your father will come back to us." Naida said and let a tear fall.
"Why are you not asleep yet, you have been up all night." She heard Catelyn's voice and she turned round to look at her. Catelyn was pale and she had bags under her eyes.
"I should ask you the same thing mother. You have not been asleep for almost three days. You need it." Naida said and she sat down at the table in front of her.
"You are with child, you need this more than me." Catelyn said and Naida held onto her hand.
"I worry about you. The stress is getting to you. Please go lie down and try to sleep. I can give you something to help you sleep." Catelyn just smiled at her softly and covered her hand
"I am so glad that i was able to meet you and be able to call you my daughter. Not only Robb is lucky to have you. We all are." Catelyn said
"I am glad i could call you mother. I never met mine and i believe she would be a lot like you. Strong and loving. I want to be just like you when i become a mother." Naida said
"You will be a great mother Naida. You do not have to worry about that. I cannot wait to meet my grandchildren. All of them not just from you and Robb." Catelyn said.
"Well you will have many grandchildren then, you have five children." Naida said and Catelyn laughed.
"I cannot wait for that to happen. When were are all safe." Catelyn said
"Me too mother me too." Naida said when the door opened with a bang.
"My Queen you presence is needed. The King was wounded in the battle." Naida's heart stopped in her chest. No it cannot be. Pleas please please do not take him from me. She stood up from her chair took her dress in her hands and ran as fast as she could. When she entered the room she could smell blood and when she saw him it was from his stomach. Robb was unconscious and that scared her the most. Naida looked at the men in the room.
"How long was he unconscious for?" She asked at the men looked at her. Edmure who was also covered in blood stood next to her.
"Just a couple of minutes. We have fought for a day and night none stop and we were all tired. Robb was hit in the stomach by the Mountain but Robb killed him before he could do any more damage." Naida nodded ass she ripped off his top armour. The gash on his stomach was big but after the check up it was not that deep. She disinfected the wound and begin to sow it. Robb has lost a lot of blood as well and that was not helping him as well.
Catelyn was looking at yet another son who was battling for life and her heart broke. How can all of this happen to her family. All those disaster. First of all her son fell and was crippled, then she has lost her husband and her daughters were trapped. This was all to much for her. She felt a shooting pain her her left arm and then in her chest. She could not breath. She watched at everything around her turned to black.
