Wounds (Sansa & Sandor)

Chapter XVII

Sandor leaned out the window of his room when he heard the doors of the fortress open.

A huge chariot drawn by four horses, completely covered in snow, entered slowly, and stopped in the middle of the parade ground. He had no doubt that it came from Landing. Virtually no one who had an interest in coming to Winterfell could have a means of getting around like that.

Before the door opened, he already heard him scream. He frowned. There was no way that damn dwarf could go unnoticed.

- I have come all the way covered with the thickest blankets that I have been able to find in Landing, and even so, my balls are frozen ...

Sandor put on his fur coat and left his room resigned. He had to fulfill his status as host ... He snorted loudly when he opened the door and the intense cold hit him in the face, with a single thought in his mind: "All this I do for her! All this I do for her! ! "

Tyiron immediately saw Sansa who greeted him with a smile on her lips, but he immediately realized that she was staring at the car where they had made the trip. He smiled and while she took her hands he said:

- Yes, Brienne is inside her with the child ..- Sansa saw her gaze light up- .. It's like looking Jamie in the eyes of her...

She put her hand to her mouth and looked at him tenderly.

- Oh! By the gods, Tyrion.

He lowered his head and shrugged her shoulders, trying to make light of it. He didn't get it.

- Life goes on Sansa ... and that child is the best gift he could give me ...

At that moment, Brienne came out of the car wrapped in thick blankets with a small bundle in her arms.

Sansa quickly went to her. She caressed her arm not knowing how to behave. Brienne bent her knee and lowered her head. Not in vain was she in the presence of a Queen ... but Sansa immediately made her get up.

-No ... you don't have to do that ... You shouldn't ...- she looked at the child who was sleeping peacefully- .. Oh! It's so beautiful ... .- she looked at Brienne-. ... you shouldn't have taken such a long trip ...

Brienne smiled.

-I would never have missed this wedding ... and I wanted you to meet him ... .- She noticed Tyrion who had met Jon and they were greeting each other with great cordiality. There had always been a special connection between the "dwarf" and the "bastard." She also saw Sandor arrive. They stared at each other for a few seconds. In the end, he bowed his head in greeting and smiled discreetly. Brienne returned the greeting and the smile, and returned to focus on Sansa, and her son -... It is the spitting image of Jamie ...- she sighed and smiled sweetly as she looked at him- . As you will understand, I could not call it otherwise. It's as if he had come back to me ...

Sansa noticed that Brienne's blue eyes were filling with tears.

-Tyrion told me that you too ...- she said pointing to her belly -... It's another miracle ...

Sansa smiled and nodded.

- It certainly is.

She turned around and looked at Sandor who stood with his arms crossed over his chest and looked at Tyrion, who wouldn't stop talking, as if he were going to kill him.

-It has been a surprise for everyone.- she added smiling.

Brienne nodded.

- Your future husband ..- he said while raising an eyebrow, and paused, remarking how amazing that too- .. It is quite a surprise in itself ... Life turned him into a dangerous man, devoid of all empathy. In a violent and selfish being, but inside him there was much more ..
