I own nothing
Gendry was working the next day with a few of the other smiths that they had. He was working a horse shoe. He looked over the anvil. The smithy shop was across from healing tents. He had seen Raenera go into one of the tents. She had fallen back into help the less fortunate. Much like how she was in Kings Landing with the people of flea bottom. He heard footsteps approach along with fellow smith.
"Your grace"
Gendry looked up finishing the shoe. He dunked into the water. Robb moved towards Gendry. Gendry drop down into a bow.
"Your Grace" Gendry said.
"A word Gendry" Robb said.
"Certainly, Your Grace" Gendry stated.
They moved out of the smithy shop about the time Raenera came out with one of soldiers that were injured his leg in the battle. He had hand his arm around her small waist. She was smiling as they walked a small distance. Robb eyes lingered on her form as Gendry and he walked. Gendry noticed that Robb's eyes stayed on Raena.
"Your Grace?"
"Gendry, you have known Raena longer than most people have what can you tell me about her." Robb asked.
"It is not pleasure I relish in. I watched her playful innocent purple eyes turn into cold as stone Amethyst pools. I watched as she tried to hide behind walls erected to keep her safe. Joffery loved to torment her. Truthfully if the walls were gone she would not as strong as she seems. You want her… Forgive me Your Grace."
"It's nothing. Forget about it Gendry. My desire to marry her is plan to see."
"Let me guess she told you no. She is not doing that as any disrespect to you Your Grace. In truth if she did not care for your family in some regard. She would marry you without question. I know she doesn't trust easily. I had seen her with your father. Maybe twice, it took her month to warm up to him enough for her to trust him."
"You know her very well."
Gendry looked to Raenera as she started to laugh with a group injured soldiers. This was the most carefree he had seen her in many years. The last time was when King Robert was gone but even then she was not as like this. A crude joke was made by a passing soldier. Robb was sure that she would be offended by it. Quite the opposite happened she started to laugh, a deep belly laugh. Gendry eyes widen he heard her laugh.
"I may, but you and your men are breaking her shell. Protect her please."
"I would never anything happen to her. Not to mention she is with her family."
Gendry and Robb fell into silence. Robb eyes traveled from Raenera to Gendry. Gendry looked back to Robb.
"The reason I wanted to speak with you. I want a stamp made with this symbol." Robb said handing Gendry the small box with Raenera's broach.
Gendry opened the box looking at broach. He may not been educated like noble children were. But he knew that three headed dragon was sigil of Targaryen family. They were known for purple eyes with silvery blonde hair, fiery tempers and visionaries. Many of those traits he found in Raenera. He looked over to Raenera.
"Is this… Does this belong to" Gendry tried to ask
"Yes, it Raena or rather Raenera's. I will need it back as soon as possible." Robb answered.
"I will get the broach and the stamp to you soon, Your Grace" Gendry said.
Gendry spared one last look at Raenera. Could she be a Targaryen? He had to admit she had the royal presence. He watched Robb come over to the group. She smiled up at Robb. It was not like the smiles she did for his old master or anyone in King's Landing. He saw it then, as Robb help to feet linking their arms as they walked away, Raena was happy and was attracted to the man before her.
"Your Grace," Raenera said as Robb approached.
"Raena, will do me the pleasure of walk with me." Robb asked
Raenera looked to man she helped out here. She wanted to go with Robb but she could neglect her responsibilities. She looked down with ghost of smile on her face.
"Go Lady Umber I will get Darran back to healing tents." Another soldier said.
"Thank you Ruban" Raenera said going to get to her feet.
Robb instantly reached out pulling her to her feet. They linked arms both smiling as they looked at each other.
"Raenera, I would like to introduce you to my bannermen"
"I would like that."
After meet the most of Robb's bannermen, most of the Lords had taken to her. Only two did not seem to care for her. One she was sure did not believe her to be Targaryen that was Lord Karstark. They came to Bolton area of the camp. She could feel their eyes on her more so now than before. She subtly moved closer to Robb. She smiled up at him as he looked down at her. Robb like having her by his side and truly enjoy her company.
"Your grace" Roose called
"Lord Roose," Robb said.
"Who is this lovely flower" Roose asked.
Roose took Raenera hand kissing the top of her hand. Raenera smiled but on the inside her skin was crawling.
"Lord Roose, this is Lady Raenera Umber; Lord Greatjon Umber niece." Robb answered.
Roose looked at her. He quickly worked out who child she was. Her purple eyes and classical features gave her way. She introduced herself as Lady Arryn when she was first brought to camp by his son. She was no better than his son. What made her good enough to be on the arm of the King in North, Robb Stark?
"Forgive my son for his treatment of you, Lady Umber." Roose said.
Raenera could feel his dislike for her even if he wore the mask so well. But she could play the game around him circles. She gave him a bright fake smile. Her eyes got the more guarded look to them.
"Think nothing of it. He was just protecting his king." Raenera said as she patted Robb hand.
Robb looked down to her in awe. She smiled a real smile up at him. Her eyes were not guarded when she looked at him. Roose saw it then she could be a real threat if she was not controlled.
"I would love; if it pleases you, Your Grace, my Lady, to introduce my son." Roose paused. Robb nodded his head. Roose called out for his son. Ramsey came over to the group. Raenera stood like statue never let her emotions show. "Lady Raenera Umber, allow me to introduce my son Ramsey Snow. Ramsey this is Lady Raenera Umber" Roose said.
Ramsey nodded his head taking her hand kissing it as well. She removed her hand after he kissed her hand. She could feel something was off about him. She did not know what but there was something.
"I bare you no ill will Ramsey" Raenera said.
"Thank you My Lady." Ramsey answered.
Robb and Raenera after a while walked away to head to supper. They passed Jaime cage on the way back to her tent. Jaime eyes went wide as he saw Raena on the arm of Robb Stark. They were talking so carefree. It was the most at ease that he ever saw Raena.
Raenera like be with Robb. He did not look at like she was crazy because of her family history. He valued her thoughts. She slowly felt her walls starting to break around him. He was so much more than just a handsome face. They came to Raenera's tent. They stopped outside of it.
"Good Night Rae"
"Rae?"
"Arya calls you that. I think it suits you" Robb said with laughter in his voice.
Robb and Raenera eyes met they both came closer to one another. Their eyes locked. His one hand traveled to the back of her neck. Robb leaned down to kiss her. She leaned up to return the kiss lost in the moment. She was pushed away by Greywind and Starlight leaning against her leg. She nearly lost her balance. If not for Robb arms steadying her she would have fallen. The moment was gone.
"Good Night Robb" Raenera said before she moved into the tent.
Robb stood there for a moment. Gendry was right he was breaking her walls. She was still as stubborn as ever but that trait was somewhat endearing. He reached down patting Greywind head doing the same with Starlight.
"You had to ruining that moment didn't you" Robb said shaking his head.
Raenera was walking through the throne room of the red keep. There were Stark and Targaryen banners hanging on the walls. She looked to where the iron throne normally sat. There were now two thrones sitting next to each other. The iron throne was gone. A small voice caught her attention. She turned to see a child about five years old with curly auburn hair and blue eyes, looking very much like a miniature version of Robb. He ran over to her.
"Mama" The child said.
"Torrhen" Raenera said not knowing where it came from.
"Dragons, mama" Torrhen insisted as she bent to pick him up.
"I don't think your Papa would like that very much. Where is your sister?"
He shrugged his little shoulders cuddling into her neck. She started to sway with him in her arms. Just to hear his joyful giggles. She head out of the room into the gardens with him in her arms. They were followed by two guards. She placed him down in gardens she spent so much time in. He started to pull on the grass. She sat down on a bench as she watched him. She felt an arm come around her middle. She turned to see who had place an arm around her. There was Robb hold a small girl about the same age as Torrhen. Her hair was darker almost like her own but her eyes they remind her of Ned's eyes, they were soft grey.
"Mama" the girl said reaching out for Raenera.
"Liliyana, found me coming out of the small council. They give us twice the joy…"
"…But twice the trouble. Hopefully this won't make us grey early." Raenera joked taking Liliyana and placing her hand on the slight swell of her belly.
Robb smiled placing his hand over top of hers. Liliyana struggled to get down racing over to her twin brother. They watched the pair of them for a long moment.
"I see you found your mama." Robb said.
"Papa" Torrhen said excitedly.
"Raenera….Rae" a voice called
Raenera awoke from her dream rubbing her eyes. When she realized it was her cousin calling her name and shaking her shoulders. She sat up in her tent. It was still night the fire was still a blaze in the fire-pit in her tent. Starlight was not to be seen. The dream was still fresh in her mind. Her mind was betraying her. She wanted him even though she knew it was not meant to be.
"His Grace, has requested your presence now cousin"
"Thank you Jon" Raenera said getting up from her bed.
Raenera stepped behind her dressing divider pulling off her nightdress. She pulled on a simple day gown and under things. She was still battling her in demons as she came out behind the divider. She looked in the mirror in her tent. She left her long hair down. She walked over to Smalljon Umber. He offered her his arm. She took his arm let him lead to see Robb.
