Jaehaerys rode on Robael's back as they approached Harrenhall. Robb carried Lyanna in his arms and watched in awe as his wife rode ahead of them, her silver hair flying in the wind.
"She is truly a queen." Greatjon said to Robb. Robb glanced around at the dead bodies. There seemed to be no end to them. He climbed off of his horse holding his daughter, and Catelyn walked alongside him.
Robael landed in the gates of Harrenhal while Arys and Rhaegon landed on the walls. The men bowed as their queen climbed off of the dragon's neck and walked over to the King.
"Rise." She told them. The men rose and she gasped at the sight around her.
"Two hundred Northmen slaughtered like sheep." Lord Karstark said sadly. Jaehaerys gave them a look of pity and kneeled beside a man. She felt for a pulse and pulled away when she found none.
"The debt will be repaid, my friend. For them and for your sons." Roose Bolton promised. Jaehaerys glanced at the men in alarm and grew suspicious.
"Will it? They rot in the ground while their killer runs free." Lord Karstark asked.
"The Kingslayer won't remain free for long. My best hunters are after him." Roose Bolton assured and he glanced at Jaehaerys who stared at him.
Robb walked somberly, his hand in Jaehaerys' and his mother at his side. Lady Stark stopped at a body propped against a section of wooden spikes, a blade through his heart. Robb and Jaehaerys came up behind her and looked at the sigil on the man's chest.
"A Mallister?" He asked. Jaehaerys placed her hand on Catelyn's shoulder and she said, "Ser Jeremy. My father's bannerman."

Robb looked over at Lord Karstark and Roose Bolton and the two men left. He glanced around at his soldiers atop the walls and throughout the courtyard and stepped back from his mother.
"Find her a chamber that will serve as a cell." Robb told his men. Jaehaerys gasped as a man nodded and led Lady Stark away with a group of soldiers.
"She's your mother." Jaehaerys scolded Robb. He shook his head and caressed her face.
"She freed Jaime Lannister. The Lannisters robbed them of their sons and she robbed them of their justice." Robb explained. Jaehaerys heard a man cough and she looked down and kneeled beside her.
"Water. Water." He begged. Robb handed him a waterskin and Jaehaerys held it to the man's mouth for him.
"What's your name, friend?" Robb asked and kneeled beside Jaehaerys. His arms still wrapped around the sleeping babe.
"Qyburn." The man answered. Jaehaerys wiped some blood from his eyes and told him,
"You're lucky to be alive."
The man looked startled and glanced around him at all the dead bodies.
"Lucky?" He asked. Jaehaerys sighed and stood up as a nurse tended to his wounds.
She heard a bird caw as she walked by and she looked at it. It seemed to stare into her soul and she shivered and walked away. Robb walking behind her.

"I'm amazed at how calm she is. There's no way she hasn't cried." Catelyn said as she held her granddaughter. Robb watched them and smiled slightly.
"She has once. When we thought Jaehaerys wouldn't make it..she cried her eyes out for hours." Robb explained and Jaehaerys stood up to stand beside her husband.
"She will be a wonderful queen." Catelyn smiled and rocked the babe in her arms. She loved the feeling of having a grandchild. She only wished Ned was there with her. He would be able to control his son, and perhaps they wouldn't be in this mess of a war.

"I propose an idea." Jaehaerys said. She'd been standing by the window in the dining hall of Harrenhall watching the men walk around outside.
"What is that?" Robb asked. She looked ethereal, unreal. Her body shimmered in the sunlight and she wore a dress that left little to the imagination.
"I ride into King's Landing on Robael. You say your sister has been wed to Tyrion Lannister. He might be kind enough to bring her to the gate and we could leave without any bloodshed." Jaehaerys said. Robb chuckled and shook his head.
"No. I refuse to put you in harms way." Robb told her and his men looked around.
"It could be possible. She could go at night, and kill anyone in her way with dragon fire. Sansa would be able to escape unharmed and then we must find your other sister." One of his men suggested.
"It's the only way. I will do it, Robb. I love your sister like my own, and I don't want her harmed any more than you do." She told him. He sighed and agreed.
"The first sign of danger, you leave. I will not have you dying." He told her and glanced at his men until he found Drako. Drako knew what he was going to say and nodded at Robb in agreement.

Lyanna was sleeping soundlessly in her crib while Robb stared into the fire. Jaehaerys was leaning her head against the bed canopy and watching Lyanna sleep.
"My sister always told me you Westerosi were a grim lot. Grim, bearded, stinking barbarians that would row across the Narrow Sea and steal us from our beds." Jaehaerys told him. She walked over to him and wrapped an arm around him. He placed a kiss on her head and held her tightly.
"Did you ever think you'd marry one?" Robb asked. She chuckled and shook her head.
"I never thought I'd marry anyone at all, unless it was my brother." She explained. And Robb glanced her and asked, "Never?"
"Not until I met the king of the grim, bearded, stinking barbarians all those years ago." She said and he laughed and kissed her passionately, his hand holding the side of her face.
The chamber door opens suddenly startling Jaehaerys and she felt Grey Wind's presence behind her.
"Pardon me, Your Grace. My queen." Roose said and walked into the bed chamber. Jaehaerys nodded at him and said, "Lord Bolton."
He held two raven messages, one in each hand. And the image reminded her of Viserys all those years ago when he held the marriage agreements in his hands.
"Let me guess which one is the good news." Robb joked.
"Word from Riverrun and Winterfell." Lord Bolton explained and handed the scrolls to Robb.

For the first time since she was born, Lyanna cried throughout the night. Jaehaerys wasn't sure what was causing it. Each time Lyanna would fall asleep she would wake screaming, and when Jaehaerys found herself finally falling to sleep, she realized that they must of had the same nightmare.

She was laying on the floor and glanced down to her bleeding stomach. The wound hurt terribly and she was stabbed a few times in her stomach. She suddenly realized she must of been pregnant. Robb crawled over to her in horror and he held her in his arms. His own body held arrows and he was glad he wore his armor under his clothes. Jaehaerys lifted her hand weakly and wiped a tear away from her husband's eye.
"I love you," she croaked out. Robb shook his head and cried as she felt her life drift from her body. His arms clutched her tightly, and he stood up to take Lyanna when Roose stabbed Robb in the heart.
Catelyn cried out and her throat was slit.
Roose Bolton held Lyanna in his arms and he stabbed the babe silencing her cries.

Robb shook Jaehaerys violently as he tried to wake her. She was screaming in her sleep. She'd never done that. He was worried she was developing a fever from her arrow wound.
Jaehaerys opened her eyes and gasped loudly as Robb helped her sit up.
"Gods, Jaehaerys. You had me frightened." He said and she touched his chest to make sure he was real.
"I had a terrible dream." She told him. Robb's chest swelled with happiness when Jaehaerys crawled into his arms. Lyanna lay in the crib beside her side of the bed and she held out a hand to the babe who took it gladly.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Robb asked. Jaehaerys sighed and looked into her husband's blue eyes.
"Your men...they betrayed you. They killed me, you, Lyanna, and your mother." She whispered and Robb tightened his hold on her petite body.
His woman was frightened, and he'd never seen her as such as he did then.
"I will never let them hurt my family. You are my life. Lyanna is my life. No one will harm either of you." He promised and she nodded and curled into his arms.
"Go to sleep, my love." He told her and kissed her forehead. He held her that night for the first time since he slept with Talisa.
