Wow this is over now and it makes me feel so teary. It was a brilliant ride and I want to thank some people for reviewing most chapters in this story and keeping up with it and staying with it even when the chapters were not so great : thunder18, angelice, , lilnudger82, Lys3375, Arianna Le Fey. Most of all I want to thank NicoleR85 and jean d'arc who have reviewed every single chapter. I still want to thank everyone else who also reviewed. It has been a blast. This story is the first story I have ever finished and even planning a sequel and it is all thanks to you guys. I never thought my story could reach so many reviews so thank you again and let get cracking with the last chapter. I might cry during the writing of it and listening to the Stark soundtrack is not helping me at all at this moment.

Chapter 25: Epilogue – The Last Journey

Catelyn was sitting in her solar with a bug smile on her face. All of her children were there with her and all of them were happy.

Catelyn looked at her firstborn son who was sitting on the floor with his son on his knees making wolf noises that little Ned was copying and laughing so hard that he was crying. She could not believe that her son is now married with children. He had grown into a wonderful man that she was immensely proud of. He was a great King and everybody loved him. This could not happen if he did not marry the woman who was sitting on a chair and feeding her one and a half daughter little Cat. Catelyn cried when they told her that they would be naming their daughter after her and she felt appreciated. It suited her also as little Cat was a Tully just like her father. She watched as Naida looked at her little family with love and Catelyn smiled. She was not worried about them whatsoever.

Catelyn then looked at her two daughters who were sitting on her bed. Sans was braiding Arya's hair fighting about like everything they did. Arya was moving her head and frowning and Sansa was angry at her for that. Catelyn chuckled at her daughters and shook her head. They fought like cats and dogs and they never had the same opinion and they were so different personality wise yet they have bonded now like never before. They would do anything for each other. Catelyn saw a piece of her in each of her daughters.

Sansa was a woman grown now at the age of six and ten. She grew up even more beautiful than ever before and Catelyn was in awe at her beauty. Sansa had Catelyn's gentle side. She was a gentle soul that would rather stay inside and read a book. She had a big and kind heart. She also would go into any lengths to keep her family safe.

Arya her little baby girl was starting to grow now and she was more and more like the famous Lyanna not only in looks but in character as well. She was a stark through and through and was definitely wolf blooded. She could never sit in one place at a time and she was always at the courtyards with that damn sword of hers. Arya was fierce like Catelyn and did not let anybody talk down to her.

Catelyn then moved to look at her two sons who were playing with toy soldiers both having a big smile on their faces. Both of her sons grew up so much.

Bran was a little Lord on the making. He studies at lot to become the Lord of the Stormlands. He was so happy when he found out about it. He thought that he would never leave Winterfell and yet he found out that not only he will be a lord of a Castle he will have a wife as well. Catelyn was scared that Bran would not like Shireen at all but she was so wrong. They both liked each other very much and both being very happy with their betrothed. Both were two young to be wed but both could not wait for it.

Rickon, oh her little Rickon. Out of all of her children he had the worst temper and that scared her sometimes. He was very temperamental and angered easily. When he was angry he would stay in the crypts for hours at times. On the other side her little boy had such a big heart that he would give you the clothes of his back. He was still so young and with Robb's help he would be fine eventually.

Catelyn felt her eyes glisten with tears. If only her Ned would be here with them he would be so proud of his children. He loved them all so much and they were his pride and joy. Catelyn felt an ache in her chest because he could not see his children grow up. Catelyn was so very happy with her life yet there was always something missing in her life. She was missing her soul. Her children were her heart but Ned, her beloved Ned was her soulmate. The only man she loved so much that every day she is away from him is killing her slowly more and more. Especially today when it is the anniversary of his passing.

"Are you well mother?" Catelyn looked at Robb who was looking at her with a concern look in his eyes.

"Yes I am fine Robb I just miss your father is all." She replied and Robb nodded. There was no need to speak more about it. They all missed Ned so much. She joined in with playing with little Ned.

It was later that night when Catelyn fell asleep and she dreamed of standing in the courtyard of Winterfell. It was so beautiful and white around her. She was walking on the snow feeling it falling on her face from the sky. She saw her children and grandchildren laughing and playing in it. She was about to join them when she felt someone grab her from behind. When she turned around she saw it was Ned. It was her Ned. Her handsome quiet husband. Catelyn looked at him in disbelieve and with tears rolling from her eyes. She had to touch his cheek to really believe that he was here with her and when she felt him she began to cry.

Ned touched her cheek and began to wipe her tears and shaking his head.

"Do not cry my beloved wife. My soul on this world. My fiery beauty." Ned said and Catelyn let out a sob from her mouth and latched onto his lips with her own feeling like the world was right now. Catelyn began to kiss his whole face and making Ned laugh. A sound he made only when they were alone.

"Oh Ned my love. I cannot believe you are here." Catelyn said crying and looking at her husband's face.

"What did I say about crying? I cannot look at your tears." Ned said wiping her tears again making Catelyn chuckle.

"Those are happy tears my love. I am happy to see you. So very happy." Catelyn said and jumped into his arms laughing. Ned took her and spoon her around before putting her on the floor.

"I always loved snow in your hair. You looked like a Goddess." Ned said making Catelyn blush. Ned looked over her shoulders at his children.

"Look we made them Cat. They could not be more perfect even with their flaws." Ned said and Catelyn turned around and looked at her children still feeling her husband's arms around her. She smiled looking at her children.

"Yes you should be very proud of them Ned. They grew up to be good people just like you wanted them to." Catelyn said looking back at Ned.

"I wish I could be here to see them grow up but you did a perfect job Cat." Ned said

"I wish that you could be here with me and see them grow as well. You did not deserve what happened to you. My love you never did." Cat said putting her had on his cheek. Ned closed his eyes and marvelled in the feeling of his wife before taking her hand and kissing it.

"What are you doing here my love? Not that I am not happy to see you." Catelyn asked looking at his face. She could not get away from it afraid if she does he will disappear.

"I am here to take you with me my love. Are you ready to go with me?" Ned said and Catelyn frown at him in confusion before understanding what he meant. This was it. This was her end. She looked back at her children who were laughing and having a great time and she decided that they do no need her. They will be fine on their own. She looked at Ned with a big smile on her face.

"Yes my love I am ready to go with you." Catelyn said and Ned put an arm around her and both walked away. Catelyn was feeling whole again.

There you go. It is finished. I wanted to cry so badly but I am at my Uni library and there are far too many people here for me to cry but still my heart clenched when I wrote it. I have no idea if it is a happy ending or not because Cat did die but she was reunited with Ned so I let you be the judge of that. Now that the story is finished thank you again for reading my story. It has been a pleasure.

There should be another chapter after it with the summary for my sequel. Please look for It and the sequel should be here soon. Just need to get everything sorted in my head. Please review and let me know what you think.
