Chapter 21: Happy ending?
Naida was above her chamberpot emptying the content of her stomach. He was feeling sick for the last couple of days. This pregnancy will be different to the fist one. With Ned she felt very good all the time. She had was not feeling sick and she had no splitting headache. But this little one was very different. At the slightest smell she was vomiting and her headaches were so severe that she had to spend all days in the bed.
She dry heaved once again when someone entered her room. It was her handmaiden. She held Naida's hair back and rubbed her. She passed her a rack to wipe her face. Naida took a deep breath and leaned on her bed. She was tired very tired.
"My Queen i know you are tired but you told me to tell you of the little Lady Shireen." her handmaiden said and Naida looked at her.
"Yes i did what is it?" Naida asked her and stood up from the floor and sat on the bed.
"The little Lady is not eating again. It is the third day in a row." Her handmaiden Esma said.
"Get a dress ready for me. I will wash my face and i want to go and see her." Naida said.
"Yes my Queen." Her handmaiden said and in no time Naida was waling to Shireen's bedchambers. She was brought here after Robb found her mother trying ti burn them both alive. She did not succeed thankfully. She opened her door and she saw the little girl who was no older than 11 sitting on her bed staring at the book she was holding.
Naida came to her room and sat at the foot of the bed. Shireen looked at her with a sad look. She put the book down.
"What can i help you with my Queen." Shireen asked in a very polite tone.
"You can tell me why are you not eating. It has been days and you have not touched anything. You can get sick if you do that." Naida said to the girl who looked down at her hands.
"No body will care if i died not. My own mother tried to kill me and now i am a prisoner of war. My King father slain. I will die as well." Shireen said and Naida took her hands in hers.
"You are not a prisoner and you will not die. You are Baratheon and house Barathoen and Stark have always been close. Nothing bad will happen to you i promise. You are now under my protection. When the war is over you will be going with me to Winterfell and after you are of age you will be wed and sent to the Stromlands to rule with your husband." Naida said and the girl smile. She really had a pretty smile. Her smile had fallen down and she looked back at her hands.
"No one will want to wed me My Queen. I am ugly and i have Greyscale on my face." She said in a small voice.
"You are not ugly and your husband will look past your Greyscale. Shireen you are the smartest 11 year old girl i have ever met. Do not be defined by your Greyscale. It cannot be that see. You are are more than it and your husband will see to that. I will make sure of that." Naida said and Shireen smiled. She was not beautiful by normal standard but she was very pretty. She had black hair and deep blue eyes and she had a captivating smile.
"Thank you your Grace, you are very kind to me." She said and Naida smiled. She took a plate and put it in front of her.
"Now eat. You need to keep you strength up my darling. You will be the future lady of Storm's End." Naida said and Shireen smiled at her and began eating the food that was given her.
"Am i allowed to leave my bedchamber." She asked Naida who smiled at her.
"Yes you may. As i said you are no prisoner here. I just want to know where you are for safety reasons." Naida said.
"Oh i will just be in the library. I love to read and i would love to see what books you have here." She said.
"Please do Shireen. Nothing will happen to you under my protection. I promise." Naida said to the young girls and left her bedchambers. She was walking toward hers when she felt a little dizzy and had to hold onto the wall to steady herself.
"Are we well Naid" Margery asked after she ran up to he when she saw her. She was just walking toward her.
"Yes i am well Margery, just a little dizzy spell. I guess it will come with this pregnancy." Naida said and held onto Margery who helped her get into the bedchamber. Once they were there Naida sat down on her bed and hid her face between her legs. She took a deep breath and tried to stop the room from spinning and calm her stomach that was rebelling against her.
"This pregnancy does not do well for you i am afraid." Margery said and Naida looked at her. Margery noted that Naida was to pale.
"You need to lay down Naida. You are too pale. Have you been eating at all?" Margery asked at she helped her get into bed. Naida did not refuse her. She was to dizzy for that.
"I cannot keep anything down Margery and nothing is helping me. Even a waterfall of water with ginger and lemon could help me now." Naida said in a weak tone.
"By Gods Naida we must summon the Maester, you cannot keep going like that." Margery said touching Naida's forehead. It was not hot thankfully.
"It is fine Margery. Some pregnancy take more out of you than other. That is just the way it goes. It will pass soon. I just need to get through the first couple of moon and then it will be fine. Trust me Margery, i have seen it." Naida reassured Margery with a weak smile. It was true and Naida was not worried.
"If you say so. I will trust your judgement, but i am getting the maids bring you some soft bread and some fruits. You need to east and i am starving as well." Margery said and Naida chuckled and nodded. She was too in fact hungry as what she has ate before was currently in her chamber pot.
They have talked for most of the night until they both fell asleep in the bed and woke up together in the morning and laughed.
"I have gotten used to another face when i wake up but i must say it is not a beautiful as yours." Naida said and Margery laughed.
"What can i say. My face is just flawless." Margery said and they both laughed hard at that.
The handmaiden came to the bedchamber with a smile on her face
"A raven came from the Kings Landing." She said giving the message to Naida. Both women were exited to read what the massage said but also very scared. Naida took a deep breath before reading the massage.
Dear Naida
My She-wolf the war is over. We won. Jon sits on the Iron Throne.
Robb.
"They have won Margery, they won!" Naida said and both girls laughed and cried at the same time.
"Finally the war is over." Naida said thanking the Gods.
"You hear that child. Your father is the King now." Margery said talking to the baby inside of her.
"We need to go. We need to go to them." Naida said and Margery nodded.
"Do you think i will like Kings Landing?" Margery asked Naida.
"I really do not know Margery. I never been there. In case you do not like it than you will change it so you do like it. You are the Queen Margery. You can do what ever you wish to. It is your right." Naida said making Margery smile.
"You are also the Queen Naida, you will be a great one i am sure." Margery said and Naida smiled at her. Margery said her goodbye to Naida and went to her bedchambers to pack. She needed to pack everything as she will be moving to her new home.
Naida went over to pick her son up who was looking at her with big grey eyes and was smiling at her. The four moon old babe was to wise for his age. She picked him up with a big smile upon her face.
"Your father has won the war my little wolf. Yes he will go home now. Your father will be a great King and you will be a King also after your father." Naida said and sat down on the bed. The babe looked at her and smiled.
The handmaiden came to the room and Naida was very thankful for her. She was too tired to do anything right now.
"Are you well my Queen?" The pretty girl said and Naida nodded and smiled weakly.
"Yes i am well, can you please change him and start packing while i take a nap. I feel very drained." Naida said and the girl nodded.
"Of course my Queen." the girl said taking the babe from her arms. She laid back down and closed her eyes.
Winterfell
Sansa was holding up her skirt and running through the castle halls. Her long auburn her were flying behind her. Her laugh was bounding off the walls. The people that lived in the castle were happy. It was a long time since this halls have been filled with laughter and life. Winterfell was back in its old glory.
"Rickon do not run so fast i cannot keep up with you." Sansa called after her youngest brother who was running away from her. He just laughed and ran faster. Sansa just shook her head and ran after him. The people saw the change in the little boy since his mother came back. Long gone was the little boy who every one was scared of. The boy who would send his direwolf to attack people. Long was the boy who growled and hissed at people. He was back to the happy little boy that everyone remembered. His laugh filled the castle walls and brought happiness to their lives.
Arya was in the courtyard with Bran who was sitting on his specially made saddle and they were trying to shoot an arrow to targets. Arya was hitting every single one but Bran had a harder time.
"Bran you need to stop thinking too much. You over think it. Just let your body be one with the bow. When keep your elbow high and back straight. Never hod the arrow but let it go as you bring it to your chin. Your eye should know where the arrow was supposed to go. Imagine who you want to aim at. The person who you hate and want to kill and release the arrow." Arya said and Bran looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"Where did you learn that?" Bran asked her.
"People now aim and do not get distracted." Arya said and Bran got ready. He looked at the straw man in front of him and imagined it was Jamie Lannister. The person who did this to him. The person who made him a cripple. He got his bow ready and shot him right in the balls. Arya clapped and laughed.
"Well done Bran. Right in the balls the man would not stand a chance if you hit him there." Arya said and Catelyn heard her and looked down at her.
"Arya have some tact, you are a Lady." Arya said and she rolled her eyes at her mother
"Yes mother." She only agreed as not to make her mother angry. She was not as young as she was before. She cannot get that angry.
Rickon ran away from Sansa into the courtyard and his behind Arya.
"I won Arya i won win Sansa." Rickon laughed and Arya looked at Sansa's red face and burst out laughing. She really looked funny.
"Stop laughing at me. He is far to fast for me." Sansa said but began laughing as well.
Catelyn looked at her children and smiled. It was like before, before all the bad stuff happened. Before Ned went to the Capitol. She wanted Ned to have his arms wrapped around her as they looked at her children together and laughing at them. She looked at her children alone and laughed at them. They looked happy. Despite of everything they were happy and they were safe. At home where they should be. She just wished that Robb was also here. She would have him here safe as well. Catelyn was constantly thinking about her first born and what he was doing and she was worried. Worried that he might die. She did not want to live to see that.
"Lady Catelyn there was a raven for you." Ser Rodrick was walking up to her. She looked up at him and took the letter from him. She read the letter and tears started to fall from her eyes. She felt a burden lift up from her shoulders. The war was over and Robb ha won the war. She looked at Ser Rodrick with tears falling from her eyes.
"My Lady what is it?" Ser Rodrick asked her with worry in his voice.
"They had won. King Landing is theirs and Jon sit on the Iron Throne. The war is over." Catelyn said and the children from below began to cheer, dance and laugh and hug each other. They had won and their was the victory. Catelyn looked at the man in front of her crying and laughing at the same time. She clutched the letter to her heart and took a breath of relieve.
Riverrun
"Nad please, the road might be dangerous now. The war had just finished there might be some dangerous people pout there. Please wait until Robb and Jon come for you." Roslin stood in front of Naida and took her hand in hers. Naida smiled and kissed her heavily pregnant sister in the cheek.
"Ros i will be fine. Your husband is sending his best men with me and Robb will meet us halfway there. I will be fine." Naida said and Roslin nodded although she still looked very worried.
"I have a bas feeling about this Nad please be careful. You are not feeling very well you mus be very careful. Please look after yourself." Roslin said.
"I will be fine sister. Please look after yourself. I might not be here when you give birth." Naida said kissing her sister once more.
"I will be fine sister. Look after yourself there." Roslin said before moving towards Margery and embracing her as well.
"Look after yourself my Queen. Please do not be a stranger here at Riverlands." Roslin said and Margery smiled at her.
"Off course Lady Roslin. i shall see you in the near future. I want to thank you for your hospitality." Margery said.
"It was nothing my Queen. My home is always open to you." Roslin said and they embraced once again.
Both Queens went inside of the wheelhouse and they were on their way to Kings Landing. Margery looked so exited that it brought a smile to Naida's face.
"I cannot wait to be in Jon's arms again. It has been to long." Margery said and Naida chuckled it has been a moon since they had seen Robb and Jon. Margery was missing Jon terribly.
"Margery your so new to this darling. I have not seen Rob for six moons so one i can do." Naida said weakly. This pregnancy was taking too much of her.
"I do not know how did you do it Naida. I need my husband so bad. All i can think of his lips and hand and mouth. I crave him so bad." Margery said with a little blush making Naida laugh.
"Well that is normal in the pregnancy. i was missing him bad Margery but i also had make sure my people were save and i needed to get everything ready for the winter. We do not know how long it will be and how bad. We have to make sure we are ready for every scenario." Naida said and Margery nodded.
"I know what you mean. I have also been preparing for that. We will have a lot of people without men to support them and orphans. We need to help the smallfolk now as well." Margery said and Naida nodded. The war has finished and now they needed to deal with the aftermath of it.
"It is not going to be easy but we will make it through. Now the whole country needs to get as one and help each other. We will make it through it Margery. We have to so our children can have a better life." Naida said and looked at her sleeping son. She smiled at him.
The wheelhouse stopped abruptly. Both Margery and Naida looked around to see what was going on. They could hear men shouting and horses wailing. Margery looked at Naida with worried eyes.
"Stay here and i will see what is going there." Naida whispered to Margery and did not listen to her pleases. The door of the wheelhouse opened with a fore and there stood a dirty man with shaggy hair. He looked at them and smiled at them wit ha disgusting smile.
"Well what have we got here. Lads! We have to pretty ladies to play with." He shouted at the men behind him and she could here the other men laughing in the background.
"Please Sir we have money we can give you just please let us go now" Naida said trying to keep her voice calm. The man just laughed.
"Oh you pretty things we will take your money after me and my men play with you and leave you for dead." The man said.
"Please Sir we are both with child." Margery said and the man just laughed.
"I am no Sir and a pussy is a pussy." he said and grabbed Naida by the hair and pulled her out of the wheelhouse and threw her on the ground. She had hit the ground hard and fell on a rock with her front first. She felt a pain in her lower regions so strong that it made her gasp for air and made her eyes water. She could hear the men laugh and Margery scream but she could not move cause one of the men were already on her with a sly smile.
"Aye you pretty little thing. I will take my time with you." The man said. Naida trashed in his arms and tried to get out of his grasp but he was too strong for her. Naida just heard him laugh and she got so angry that she looked at him and spit in his face. The man got angry and slapped her hard on the face. She was so dazed for a second that she could not hear or see anything. When she regained her conciousness she could feel the man ripping her dress at the front and revealing her breast. She could hear the man laughing before he took ahold of her breast hard making her cry out and started to kiss them. She cried and tried to get out but she could not.
She saw a rock to her left and tried to grab it, trying to ignore the fact that some strange man was getting her legs apart and getting out of his breeches. Just as she felt the tip of his cock in her she grabbed the rock and smacked him as hard as she could with it on the head.
The man fell off her and she tried to get up when she saw Margery on her side on the floor trying to protect her stomach. She was about to run up to her when she felt the man grab her by the hair and bring her back down on the floor. She cried out and fell back on the ground hitting it hard with her head.
"You little bitch you think that you can get rid of me that soon." he said and began to kick her stomach. She cried out but the man did not stop and no matter what she did she could not protect herself. She could feel that her right writs was broken. She tried to plead with the man but he just kept kicking her.
"You bitch i was going to be gentle with you but now you will regret it." He man said said started to punch her in the face. Naida tried to protect herself but she was loosing it. She was fading into the darkness. She could hear her son cry in the distance and that sound will haunt her forever because she was not strong enough to fight the darkness that took her.
Please do not hate me! There were too many victories for the Starks i had to make them suffer. I will tell you the truth at the start of the story i was meant to kill Naida when she was going to give birth to Ned but you liked her so much that i decided to keep her alive. Now i am at crossroads. Should i keep her alive or let her die. You will be the judge of that. Should i kill her or let her stay alive? Please review and comment.
