Chapter 15

It was Saturday morning, Selyse Baratheon frowned as she checked the clock; it was late in the morning. Breakfast had already been served and eaten, yet her daughter hadn't shown up, still up in her room. She shook her head and decided to go up and check on her; she approached Shireen's room and gently knocked on the door before entering, talking as she did so.

"Shireen; are you okay honey, breakfast is…?" She began.

She stopped short, her words cutting off as her eyes widened in horror and shock. There in her daughter's bed was her daughter and worse than that, that boy she was seeing. They were both completely naked and entangled with each other; it was clear what they had done and Selyse was shocked and horrified.

'How, how dare they…This repugnant sin, sexual actions out of wedlock and with that boy, she…' Her words then came spilling out. "What is this?! Oh my God, Shireen?!"

Immediately Shireen's eyes opened wide, Devan jerked awake too, both of them startled by the outburst.

"Huh, wha…?" Was his coherent reply.

By this time both and Shireen, still naked, were sitting up.

"What…Mum?" Shireen gasped.

It was then she realized her mother had seen her and Devan, and that they were both unclothed and now sitting, she blushed and awkwardly tried to cover her breasts.

Selyse glowered at this, she had raised her daughter to be a decent girl; it should have been her first action to cover herself up. Then a new thought occurred to her and glared at the boy; it seemed more likely, knowing how much of a pervert was.

Hoping it was the case for her daughter's sake she made her accusation. "He raped you, didn't he?!"

To her dismay, Shireen started and shook her head. "What, no!?"

"I didn't…" Devan began, gasping in horror at the accusation.

"Lies!"

Shireen glared at that and; once more abandoning decency, she stood from the bed, still naked.

"You're the one who is lying, trying to twist things to suit yourself, mum." She snarled.

Selyse couldn't stand for this. "He raped you!"

"He didn't." Shireen remarked angrily. "The truth is we made love, I wanted it as much as he did!"

It was then however that Stannis came in. "What is going on?"

Selyse spun to face him, glaring angrily. "He raped her!"

Shireen then burst out. "No, Devan never…!"

Stannis froze, suddenly noting the scene before him and became uncomfortable; especially due to his daughter's current state of undress, along with her boyfriend.

"Oh, um…Selyse, come, we're going downstairs." He said quickly, before talking to Shireen. "I'll let you get dressed."

With that, despite Selyse's obvious anger, they left and left Shireen and Devan to get dressed. Devan pulling on the clothes he wore last night. Shireen pulling on some simple clothes from her wardrobe.

"Gods, this is…" Devan began.

"Don't worry, dad will understand." Shireen reassured him. "We'll have a chance to tell our side of the story."

Devan sighed. "I hope so."

With that they finished getting dressed and headed downstairs.

Downstairs they found Shireen's parents in the kitchen; Stannis still looked awkward while Selyse was still furious.

"Dad?" She began.

Stannis sighed. "So…"

Selyse immediately leapt in. "He raped her!"

Devan shook his head. "I did not!"

Stannis sighed and then turned to his daughter.

"Shireen?"

Shireen replied at once. "He didn't, it was wanted by both sides. Safe too, we used a condom."

Selyse flared up at this again. "You lie!"

"I'm not lying." Shireen insisted. "You can go and look if you want, the condom should still be in the bin in my room."

"That will not be necessary. This is awkward enough, at least you were protected." Stannis replied calmly.

"Protected, she has sinned!" Selyse yelled in anger.

Stannis sighed. "You're the only one who believes that. Now enough; I have heard enough of this."

Selyse glowered. "Our daughter is…"

"I said enough!" Stannis remarked sharply. "That will do; this discussion is over; I see no proof of your claims Selyse and I trust Shireen. What matters is they were protected."

The tension remained after that; but in the end, it was clear the argument had gone against Selyse and; to Shireen's relief; her father did indeed believe them. With this situation defused, Devan left the house, promising to call Shireen later. Shireen smiled; it had been an enjoyable night and she could hardly wait for later.

Later on that night; Jeyne Poole bit her lip; she was with Theon Greyjoy. She was still excited at the fact that the young man she had been crushing on for a long time had asked her out. They had been dating for a while now; however she was nervous, even more so now.

Theon had heard about Jeyne's actions towards Arya, yet rather than judge her for it, he instead opened her eyes. She could see plainly now how wrong her actions were; which was why she was so nervous. They were just outside the Stark house, coming to join the family for some time with friends and family and such.

"I…Theon I…" She stammered.

He smiled gently. "It's alright Jeyne; you understand what you did; you can sort this out. Just remember what I said and know that you have my back-up."

Jeyne nodded sadly but prepared herself; they headed inside. They had enjoyed themselves; everybody was happy. Jeyne was relieved to see Arya looked happier than ever, sitting casually, her hand linked with Gendry's. She decided now was as good a time as any, squeezing Theon's hand he smiled at her and she stood. She approached Arya and Gendry and spoke.

"Hi guys, um, Gendry, could I talk to Arya alone for a minute?" She asked.

The two shared a surprised look and Jeyne added. "It's important."

Gendry shrugged and smiled. "I don't think that's a problem."

"Yeah, alright." Arya replied. "Let's go."

With that Jeyne followed Arya out of the living room and up to Arya's room.

Arya turned to face Jeyne, who was relieved to note she didn't look angry, or upset, although she was suspicious.

Finally she asked. "What is this about?"

"Arya I…I am sorry for the way I treated you." Jeyne admitted at last. "I have come to realize I have been so cruel to you. I was blind but Theon made me open my eyes. I know I may not deserve to be forgiven, but I want you to know that I do regret what I did."

Arya seemed taken aback by this. "Um, thank, I think…"

Jeyne nodded sadly and Arya sighed.

"It's okay, I get it." She said, smiling. "I forgive you."

Jeyne smiled too. "Thank you."

With that they both headed back downstairs, returning to the party.

Meanwhile, Sansa was in the bathroom; she had felt strange and didn't know what was going on. Yet suddenly, when she lowered her underwear, she was shocked at what she saw.

'Blood…but how I…Gods, it's, it's my period. But…' She thought in disbelief before it dawned on her. 'Gods; I was just late, I'm not pregnant, just late…Joffrey, Joffrey was wrong.'

She knew right away, this changed everything.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
