Okay so this chapter was revised and written once again. In the previous chapter the baby dies but i have changed my concept completely for this story. Our favourite pair will not have an easy road to go through but hopefully they will stick together at the end and not let anyone else get to them. The first half is pretty much the same.
Chapter 7: A ray of sunshine
Jeyne opened her eyes looking at the ceiling not knowing where she was. The bed felt different, it was much more softer and comfortable then hers was and the ceiling was different was well. Jeyne frowned and tried to remember the night when it all came rushing back to her. Her wedding and her wedding night. She turned her head to the left and saw a sleeping Tyrion and blushed. She closed her eyes and remembered how he made her feel and she bushed and felt hot again. It was the best night of her live. She felt something she never felt before. It was not that she did not pleasure herself before. She did plenty of times but what Tyrion did to her made her see the stars.
Jeyne took the opportunity to look at Tyrion. Truly look at him. He may be a dwarf but his face was handsome. More handsome that most men she had seen at court. He was also quite muscular as well. He was not a monster that most told he was but he was gentle and very loving. Jeyne remembered how gentle he was with her when he pushed his member in her and how he tried to make her feel comfortable and she will not lie. It did hurt her and it felt uncomfortable at first but once the pain subsided she felt wonderful. Tyrion was a generous lover and he cared about her pleasure as well. Jeyne loved making love and she wanted to do it every second of every day. She felt the tingling between her legs but she closed her eyes and tried to will it away. Tyrion was asleep and she will not wake him fir a petty thing like this.
"Did you finished your inspection of me now and please tell me what conclusion you have come up with." Tyrion startled Jeyne with her voice and she jumped.
"I do not know what you are talking about Tyrion" Jeyne said and Tyrion opened once eye and looked at her.
"You were staring at me and i was wondering to what conclusion of me you came up with." Tyrion said closing her eyes. Jeyne knew that Tyrion played confident and that he was confident and that nothing can hurt him but in reality he wanted to be accepted just like anyone else. Jeyne shook her head and looked at her husband and decided to be daring. He climbed on top of him straddling his hips and she touching his face and kissed him in the lips. Tyrion was startled at first but then he responded to his naked wife and kissed her back holding her hips.
"I am very pleased that I am your wife Tyrion. You are funny kind and caring and i could not ask for anything else in a husband. I am also very pleased with your looks and your abilities in bed." Jeyne said when she stopped kissing him and giving him a smile. Tyrion smiled back at her.
"Well my Lady Wife i am very pleased with that." Tyrion said cupping one of his wife's breast loving the feeling of it. Jeyne moaned and began grinding her hips to Tyrion.
"You said you wanted to learn earlier before well the first lesson i will teach you how to ride me." Tyrion said and kissed Jeyne's lips again giving her the first lesson.
The pair did not know what was happening in the other side of the castle completely lost in the abyss.
Robb kicked open the door to his bedchambers walked in with a screaming Naida in his arms. He put her in bed and watched as she curled up in pain. He could see the stain in blood between her legs. He looked at the people around them, the handmaiden and the Maester with a pleading look.
"Your Grace you need to leave right now." One of the handmaiden said and Robb looked at her with a dead look his nostrils flaring with anger.
"I am not leaving my wife." He said with a growl in his voice. Jon took him by the shoulder and pulled him out of the bedchamber.
"We need to leave. We are only taking up space." Jon said and took Robb out of the room. Before the doors closed behind him he saw a terrified look of his wife staring back at him.
Margery was next to Naida holding her as the handmaidens did their work. A terrified Naida looked at Margery.
"Margery it is too soon. He is not supposed to come yet." Naida cried out. Margery looked at Naida knowing that it is true but she needed to calm her best friend down.
"You need to be strong Naida. You and the baby will survive this." Margery said and tried to believe this as well as she saw the pool of blood between Naida's legs. Naida screamed once again as the pain like she never felt before wrecked her body. Margery tried to be strong for her best friend so she took the wet rag and wiped her face.
"There is no way to stop this my Queen. The babe is coming. I need to you to push my Queen." The Maester said and Naida cried harder than she had ever in her life. She knew she will bring this child to his death. It was no ready yet.
"I cannot do that, I will not bring my child to the world when it is not ready." Naida cried and Margery looked at her best friend.
"If you will not push you will die Naida.. Do you want your children to grow up without a mother?" Margery tried to reason with her best friend and saw the devastation in her best friends eyes. To stay alive to raise her children she would be killing this one.
"My Queen this child might still live. Stark's are strong and they have pulled through a lot of situations." The Maester said. Naida looked at him and cried out pushing when the next contraction hit her.
"ARRRGHHHH!" Naida screamed and pushed with all of her might. Margery saw the pool of blood that was getting bigger by the second and for a second her heart stopped. She closed her eyes and prayed to the Old Gods and New that they will give her enough strength to survive this.
"My Queen give me another push, one more and the babe will be born." the Maester said and Naida cried out once again as she pushed. Naida fell back on the bed and closed her eyes trying to catch her breath. She was waiting for the cry of the baby but when it did not come she opened her eyes to see a scared looking Margery. She fallowed the where Margery was looking and she saw that her baby was not breathing. The Maester had him upside down ans was smacking his but. Naida's eyes opened wide with shock and she wanted to panic and cry out but they she remembered a situation when she was still working the healing wing in her old home at the twins and the baby was not breathing because he has something stuck in his mouth.
"Smack his back, there might be something stuck in his mouth." Naida said urgently to the Maester who looked at the young Queen nodded and done what he was supposed to do. He was impressed with the Queen's knowledge until he remembered that she was a healer as well.
The Master smacked the babies back lightly a couple of times before he put his fingers inside of his mouth and looked if there was something there. Indeed there was a very tiny peace of the umbilical cord there. He quickly dropped it on the floor and smacked the babies buttock once again and this time the baby gave out a massive wail. Margery laughed and looked at Naida who closed her eyes in relieve before looking at Margery with tears falling from her eyes.
"My Queen you have a beautiful baby daughter." The Master said giving Naida the child. Naida looked at the babe in front of her and was in awe at the sheer beauty of her. She looked just like her and Robb combined. She was a true beauty. Naida kissed the baby and let tears if joy before frowning her brow as black spot appeared before her and she found darkness taking her over.
The Maester seen as the Queen was passing out and was able to react in time. He quickly took the baby from Naida and looked at the pool of blood between her legs.
He looked at Margery who knew what he was going to ask her so she did and she left the room leaving the medics as much space as possible.
Jon looked at Robb who was pacing down the hallway looking pale. He had an angry expression on his face and his hands were balled up into fist. Everytime that Naida screamed or moaned he looked alarmed at the door.
"What in the seven hells is taking so long." he growled under his breath making Jon chuckle a bit.
"You know as well as i do brother that babies come to this world when they want to. It can take hours or days. Be patient. With both of your stubborness it is no wonder this child is going to be stubborn as well." Jon tried to encourage his brother but it did not help.
The door opened and Robb ran to the door but only to be stopped by a pale Margery who closed the door behind them. Robb could only see the limp body of his wife and a pool of blood between her legs. If Robb was worried before nothing compared to what he was feeling now. His whole body began to shake as he thought of the worst possibilities. He looked at Margery for an explanation.
"The baby is fine, beautiful baby girl but Naida lost so much blood they need to work on her. The Maester needs as much space as he can right now. Robb you need to think positively. She will be well and soon you will have your wife in your arms." Robb could barely hear what Margery was telling him. All he could focus on was that pool of blood between his wife's legs. It felt like hours to him. It took buckets and buckets of red water being taken out of the bedchamber and two people holding him up to have the door opened and a bloody Maester came out of the bedchamber with a grim look on his face.
"The young Princess is alive and well. She is a healthy and well developed baby. The wet nurse has just finished feeding her." Robb sighed in relieve. He had a perfect daughter. At least one of them is fine.
"What about my wife." Robb said and the Maester smiled sadly at him.
"The Queen is alive. It was a traumatic birth for the Queen. She had lost a lot of blood and she will need time to recover. The first night will be crucial but i am certain that the Queen will get through this. I am sad to say that it is very unlikely that the Queen will be able to conceive another child." All Robb could think about was seeing his wife.
"Can i go and see her now?" Robb asked and the Maester walked passed the Maester and went into the bedchamber and saw his wife laying in the bed. She was pale but her cheeks were red and there was perspiration on her forehead. One of the handmaidens was wiping her face with a wet cloth.
"The Queen has a fever. If it breaks by morning she will be fine." The young woman said an Robb nodded. He took a chair and sat down by the his wife's bed and too her hand in his and kissed it.
"Come back to me my love. I cannot do this without you." Robb said still holding onto her hand closing his eyes and praying to the Old Gods and New so that they will spare his wife.
"Do you want to hold your daughter Your Grace." another handmaiden said and Robb nodded taking the little bundle from her arms. He looked at his new daughter's face an smiled. She was beautiful. She was had a pale face with dark hair. She looked just like Naida, even the shape of her ears were the same. When she opened her eyes she had the same silver eyes of her mother.
"Hello my sweet. I am your father. I swear i will always protect you. I will never let anything happen to you." Robb said kissing his daughter. She was a blessing to him like all his other children.
Soon he had to give the child to the wet nurse and he was left alone listening to the ragged breath of his wife.
Sansa and Arya were sitting in the children's bedchamber. All of them; Ned, Cat and Tristan were already asleep. Ned was the only one who truly understood what happened to his mother. He tried to be brave for his sibling but he was still just a six year old boy who was scared about his mother. He cried himself to sleep. Sansa looked at the children she cam to love as her own and closed her eyes trying not to panic. She will be wed soon and become with child. She will have to go through childbirth and risk her own life. She was scared.
"It is going to be fine Sansa. You will birth healthy children." Arya could see her sister and the worry she had on her face.
"How do yo know? I might die during childbirth. I do not want to die yet." Sansa said and stood up and began walking around the room.
"You know as well i as do that we do not know what will happen but given our family history our mother gave birth to five healthy children. You will be fine. You and Willas will have so many beautiful babies running around you will have enough of them." Arya said smiling at her sister who smiled back.
"What about you Arya. Do you not want a family, a husband that will love you." Arya tried to hide the fact that she was suprised and how fact she was excited by the idea but she did. She looked at her sister with bordem in her eyes.
"It is not for me Sansa. I am not a lady. I cannot stay in a castle and birth children. I like to fight and ride and be free." Sansa sighed and shook her head. Arya was not as clever as she thought she was. She saw the longing she had in her eyes everytime she looked at Naida and Robb showing affection. She saw how Arya looked at Naida's pregnant belly. She wanted to be a mother and she wanted to be free. If there ever was a man that would allow her all this things. She prayed to the Gods every night for a man for her sister.
There was a knock on the door and Willas limped into the bedchamber with concern in his eyes.
"i heard what happened to the Queen in the North. Is she well now?" Willas said a little breathless like she rushed to come here. Sansa ran to him and hugged him close taking Willas by surprise almost making them topple over. Willas chuckled before hugging his betrothed back.
"Oh Willas, if she survives the night she should be fine but she will not be able to have anymore children." Sansa said looking at Willa with tears in her clear blue eyes. Willas caressed her cheek making Sansa close her eyes loving the feeling of his soft hands.
"She will be well Sansa. She has a husband and children that need her. She will survive this i have no doubt." Willas said gently almost like a whisper and Sansa believed him.
Arya looked at the pair and felt a tugging in her heart. It was obvious that the couple was falling in loved. She decided to leave the pair.
"I am going to my bedchamber. I need to get some rest. We all do." Arya said with a small smile on her face. Willas bowed to her and limped over to the door and opened the door for her.
"Maybe i should escort you. It is not safe to walk alone at this time of night." Willas said and Arya chuckled.
"Have no worried my Lord i will be perfectly fine. It seems that my sister needs you more." Arya said before leaving the bedchamber and closing the door behind her.
She began making her way to her bedchamber when she saw one of the balconies and decided that she would like some fresh air. she took a deep breath and looked at the clear night sky. She thought of the times when things were much more simple. When she was still a child and they were all back in Winterfell. Shooting arrows, playing tricks on Sansa. Times when she did not have to think about her future and what to do with it. She knew that one day she wanted to be a mother. That she wanted a husband that will love her and let her be who she wants to be. A husband that would respect that she liked to fight and ride horses. She wanted all those things but is there a man out there that will allow her to do that.
"It is a beautiful night is it not?" Arya yelp and jumped in surprise and looked at the person who scared the living light out of her. It was non other than the Handsome Harrold as the Ladies in Kings Landing called him. All of them were waiting and hoping that this Lord of the Vale will wed them. Yet he seemed that he did not want a wife.
"I am so sorry My Princess for scaring you. I did not mean it." Harrold said trying to hide his smile. Arya narrowed his eyes at him but she could not be angry at him no mater what.
"It is quite all right this time. Shall this happened next time i shall duel you." Arya said and Harrold chuckled.
"I do not think i want to duel with you. I hear that you can handle a sword better than most men." Harrold said looking at the stars. Arya could not take her eyes of this man's haw and his lips. They were very magnificent. Arya felt a tingling in her stomach and she could not understood what she was feeling but all Arya knew was that she wanted to feel those lips on her body.
"So what made you come here this late of night." Harrold asked looking at Arya. He shook her head trying t act like she just not imagined him in her bedchambers.
"My sister in law was giving birth there were complications. The baby is fine but the Queen is not." Arya and said and looked away from the man. Harrold took her hand in his and squeezed it gently. He did not say anything and good cause Arya did not wan tot hear anything about them feeling sorry. They stood in silence for a couple of minutes looking at the stars. It was a very comfortable silence. Arya noted that he was still holding her hand and when she looked at him his blue eyes were piercing her.
"I know that i a out of line here My Princess but since the day i have met you i could not stop thinking about you. You have plagued my whole mind and i really want to kiss you." Harrold said with his blue eyes boring into her. Arya mouth was dry and her breath ragged, her lips were trembling but she nodded. She wanted to feel those lips on her.
Harrold cupped her face and caressed her cheek with his thumb before slowly leaning into her and kissing her lips softly. At first it was just a little kiss but Arya ever felt anything like it before. It was like she was touched by a lightning bolt. Arya threw her arms around hi neck and brought him and little closer kissing a little harder. It was still soft and slow yet Arya completely lost herself. His smell his taste and his sound it all was driving her crazy. She loved the feeling of this. Much too soon for her liking they broke the kiss and Harrold looked at her with hooded eyes. There was a sound and they broke apart quickly. Harrold looked at her before kissing her hand and bowing.
"Thank you My Princess. I shall see you around." He turned on his heel and left her standing alone smiling like a mad woman. She looked around before going to the bedchamber. Neither one of them saw another pair of eyes looking at them.
Robb stayed awake the whole night holding his wife's hand in his and hoping and praying she will wake up. Nothing compared to the feeling he had for this woman and what he will feel if she was not with him anymore. Robb watched as through the window the sun came up. It was not as hot as he remembered it to be but Winter Was Coming and there was not stopping that. He longed to be back in Winterfell where nothing bad happened to his family. Where they were all happy once again after so many bad thing happened to them.
"Robb." Robb heard a faint voice of his wife and he looked down and saw her silver orbs staring back at him. He smiled at let the tears fall.
"Oh my love you are back to me. Don't ever leave me like that again." Robb said and Naida felt his lips on her.
"Our daughter, is she well?" She rasped out to him.
"She is well and so beautiful." Naida sighed in relieved. She was in her husband safe arms.
Robb held his wife and thanked the Gods that she was with them back again. Everything will be perfect only they did not know that there will be more things trying to come between them to fulfil a prophecy that will destroy them all.
So how was the alternative story? Was it better that the baby survived and it was a girl? How about the Arya/Harrold Story Arc? Did you remember them at all? Arya and the rest of the Stark children will be more present in this story now? What length do you think Ferne will go to fulfil her prophecy and will she succeed? Read and find out. Oh also please please please send me ideas of the names for the baby girl. I have no idea what to name this child. It needs to b worthy of a Princess.
