A Night In

Rickard's Birthday

Missandei

Strolling slowly with flowers in her hands, she waved to the grounds-men and keepers of the yard. She knew all of their names, which was probably not the healthiest thing considering the place was a literal graveyard.

But lately Missy had spent more time here than she did going out. And out of all days, today was a day she needed to be with him.

Putting the flowers on the grave she took a seat on the patch next to the tombstone that read "Torgo Gray Nudho. Loving son, brother and fiancé."

'Hey babe, sorry for the long absence. Work has been good, finally got my PhD so the sign next to my office door has changed. Dany is doing well but her boyfriend is a real massive tool, the two are always fighting so I think it's a fair assumption that Daario won't be in it for the long haul. Not much else to update other than I miss you and wish you were here... Oh and I kinda have a date, that yoga class my therapist recommended after you passed. There's a guy who asked me out, everyone thinks its good cause they want me to move on but it's hard because it's not you. Anyways I love you and miss you Gray. Always. I should go before I am late'

'SHIT!' she uttered in frustration as her coffee fell on her shoes. She was super late.

A gasp came from the backseat from her four year old who looked at her in shock whilst nibbling on her favorite gummy bears. The sight of the sweets brought a frown to her face because her daughter was only allowed to have a few sugary tweets per day given their latest trip to the dentist had left her teeth in pain for a whole week. Pain that meant she would be crying late into the night and keeping everyone up.

'You said a bad word mama' her daughter said as she nibbled on the green gummy bear watching her favorite TV show on the screen on the head rest in the car.

'I'm so sorry Nala, please forgive me' she said chiding herself as she pulled into the nursery parking lot. Nala didn't seem to care as she was distracted by the Wiggles dancing happily. How anyone could be happy so early in the day, only God knows.

As soon as the car parked she rushed out, checking the time she saw that she was already thirty minutes late from when her daughter's school started and she cursed inwardly.

Having grabbed her pink Tinkerbell bag, everything seemed to be in place for Nala to head into class except Nala herself; who was really enjoying the episode and was kicking her feet happily. She had thought the need of having cars with tv screens was highly unnecessary but her husband had made sure the feature was available in the two cars they owned.

'Nala let's get going, you're late' she said as she unbuckled her daughter's seat belt.

Nala shifted her head away from her as she watched her show.

Missy frowned and gently tapped her daughter on the shoulder.

Nala stared back at her, light in complexion she may have been, the girl had Robb's face and eyes, and she also furrowed her brow in the same fashion.

'I'm watching' Nala said with a smile as if it to charm her into leaving her be.

Gods she is truly Robb's daughter

'It's time for school' she said gently.

Nala frowned perhaps realizing that her father's charm won't help her.

'I don't wanna go. I'm not in the mood Mama, I wanna watch TV' Nala said in a stubborn huff.

Nursing her temples in frustration knowing she was late for work as well as Nala being late for school.

'Nala Catelyn Stark. I am giving you until the count of ten or there will be seven hells to pay' she said in a tone that brokered no argument.

Nala huffed and puffed angrily knowing that her mother was serious.
