Duty or Desire // Jon Snow // Robb Stark

Bleed

'Detta?' Odie woke up to the sound of Brans voice in her ear. She perked up.

'Hi honey.' she coed wiping at the remaining tears from the previous night.

'I can't feel my legs.' Bran told her nervously. 'I can't... why can't I...'

'Do you remember what happened honey?' Odie questioned sitting up and running a hand through his hair out of his eyes.

'I... i... fell.' he said after a long pause.

'You landed all wrong honey. But you are alive.' odie kissed his forehead and he clung to her. 'I'm so sorry honey I'm so sorry, this is happening to you.' odie said running a soothing hand up and down his back. 'I should get your mother.' Odie noted when bran pulled back slightly

'My father?'

'He left for the capital. He did not want to though... I'm sorry.' Odie told him hugging him close.

Odetta bled a moon after sandor jon and the royal parties departure. The maids cleaned her bed as she felt an aching, gnawing at her insides. Gods if she had to deal with this every moon she was going to kill someone. She thought as she tried to walk around thinking that might help relieve the pain but robb came running up to her.

'I just heard the news.' Robb said happily he pulled her to him kissing her passionately.

'Yes bran has woken its wonderful!' odie agreed.

''no, I mean yes that, but you bled.' Robb told her.

'oh right.' Odie blushing.

'We shall be married soon.' Robb assured her. She smiled into him. He was a good man. A kind man. He was handsome and brave and skilled with a blade. He was a better match than a girl in her position could ask for. She was going to love robb stark.

'It is wonderful.' Odetta agreed. 'I cannot wait to marry you robb.' odetta said wrapping her arms around him he kissed her again. With jon vowing his life to the nights watch they could never be together anyways.

'I love you odetta.' robb told her. 'You are going to make the most wonderful lady of winterfell.'

'You think?'

'I know.' robb said leading her outside. 'The northerners love you even though you are of the south. My family adores you. You are skilled and knowledgeable. Perfection.' Robb told her. 'I am glad to have you at my side. With my father gone i am lord of winterfell. And i want your gorgeous brilliant self at my side. Helping me.' Robb told her and she felt a blush to her cheeks. He knew what to say to make her heart flutter.

'Of course robb. Nothing would make me happier.' He kissed her again and she closed her eyes his lips lingering.

'Gods you're perfect.' he murmured against her kissing down her neck.

'Robb.' she whispered but she liked the feel of his lips on her body.

'I know I know,' he said pulling back kissing her lips again making her smile. 'The wait is killing me though.' he told her running his hands along the curve of her hips slipping his hands under her cloak.

'I want my brother here for our wedding. That is my one and only request.' Odetta told him. "Oh and your Father. I want ned to be here too.'

'That can be arranged. Too bad you didn't bled while they were here.' Robb remarked. 'We could be getting to the good part by now.' He teased kissing her neck again.

'I'm sure we can find other things..' she nipped at his neck 'to do.' He grinned down at her.
