As the weeks progressed, Jaehaerys' stomach grew with it. Robb had called the banners, and they had planned to March south, to free his father. He had insisted Jaehaerys stay at Winterfell, but she didn't want to be without Robb. Robb had instructed all of the Dothraki she had escort her to Winterfell be placed in charge of security for her, along with Grey Wind.
Their plan was to leave at dawn. The hours ticked by while Robb and Jaehaerys laid in bed. He had his hand on her stomach protectively, and Grey Wind by her bedside. Her dragons laid across her legs, each still small enough to lay on the bed.
"Are you ready?" Jaehaerys turned her violet colored eyes to her husband who smiled nervously at her.
"No, but it's the only way to get my father back. My sisters back. It's the only way to protect you, and our baby." He whispered and kissed her head. Her usual long flowing silver locks were braided carefully behind her head.
Jaehaerys was instructed not to ride a horse, but she had no other choice.
"Drako, are yeri hethkat?" (Drako, are you ready?) she asked the tall Dothraki man that stood guard outside her door.
He shook his head yes, and Jaehaerys smiled at him. She nodded and went to Bran's room to say goodbye.
He was already awake as she entered. Drako followed behind her with a bow he had made for Bran specifically.
"Hello, Bran." Jaehaerys sat beside her good brother and Bran leaned forward giving her a hug. She chuckled and placed a kiss on his head before nodding at Drako.
"Drako had a bow made for you. It's designed to shoot from a horse, and easier to pull back. He will teach you when we get back, but he wanted to give it to you." She explained. Bran smiled and thanked Drako. She had never seen his eyes light up more when Bran wound his arms around his neck.The sky broke out in a fit of sunlight before they knew it. Jaehaerys was easily uncomfortable on the horse she rode, but she bared it for Robb's sake. Drako and Grey Wind rode beside her while her dragons sat on her shoulders and on the horse.
Robael had grown to become the biggest of them so far. His blue scales had grown twice the size they were and the gold accentuated his intimidating body more.
She smiled up at him, his feet clinging to her shoulder.
"How much farther?" Jaehaerys asked one of Robb's bannermen. They chuckled and glanced at Robael on her shoulder.
"We're making camp here. We have to cross the trident." He told her and she rode forward, and got beside her husband.
"I was beginning to think you preferred the company of my men to me." Robb joked and Jaehaerys rolled her eyes.
"We have to cross the trident to get to kings landing." He told her and she nodded and glanced ahead at the Twins.Robb's arms were wound around Jaehaerys' waist. They all stood facing the water as they saw two men riding towards them.
A raven flew by and Theon shot an arrow through it's eye making it fall at Robb's feet. He bent down and picked it up reading it.
"lt's a birthday message to his grand-niece Walda." Jaehaerys read the message over his shoulder. Theon chuckled and said, "Or so Walder Frey would have you think."
Catelyn Stark agreed with Theon and looked at him, "Keep shooting them down. We can't risk Lord Walder sending word of your movements to the Lannisters."
Robb watched as Jaehaerys' three dragons flew behind her and onto her shoulders. All of their men knew she was guarded by Dothraki, and Grey Wind when he wasn't with Robb.
"He's Grandfather's bannerman. We can't expect his support?" Robb asked his mother. Catelyn sighed and looked back towards the Twins.
"Expect nothing of Walder Frey and you'll never be surprised. Look." Greatjon Umber said. Jaehaerys admired the man fiercely, not as much as she did Robb, but Greatjon was a very brave man.
"Father rots in a dungeon. How long before they take his head? We need to cross the Trident and we need to do it now." Robb stated. Jaehaerys hand wound around Robb's. Theon watched them jealously as they looked at each other. They had so much love together.
"Just march up to his gates and tell him you're crossing. We've got five times his numbers. You can take the Twins if you have to." Theon told Robb. Jaehaerys gave Theon a look that said, are you really that stupid?
"Not in time. Tywin Lannister marches north as we speak." Greatjon explained to Theon. He rolled his eyes and looked at Catelyn as she spoke, "The Freys have held the crossing for 600 years, and for 600 years they have never failed to exact their toll." Robb turned to his men and said, "Have my horse saddled and ready."
"Enter the Twins alone and he'll sell you to the Lannisters as he likes." Greatjon told Robb. Jaehaerys stood beside Catelyn and kept her mouth shut for now.
"Or throw you in a dungeon. Or slit your throat." Theon added. Jaehaerys agreed with him.
"My father would do whatever it took to secure our crossing. Whatever it took. lf l'm going to lead this army, l can't have other men doing my bargaining for me." Robb told them. Jaehaerys sighed and looked up to Lady Stark.
"l agree. l'll go." Catelyn Stark stated. Everyone yelled, "You can't!"
"l have known Lord Walder since l was a girl. He would never harm me." She defended and Jaehaerys stopped Lady Stark with a touch of her hand.
"Unless there was a profit in it." Greatjon told her.
"I will go as well." Jaehaerys told them. Robb shook his head and grabbed her arm. Her dragons hissed at him.
"You will not." He ordered and held her arm tightly.
"It's quite alright, Jaehaerys. Walder Frey will not harm me." Catelyn assured and patted Jaehaerys arm before walking towards her horse being saddled.
