Monster // Petyr Baelish

49. The Killing Hour

"Okay," Rieka declared as she came into the brothel she was ready for improvements, Petyr shook his head but agreed because he loved her. She was glad to have something to do besides worry about her family. She knew Robb was in the middle of a war to get them back and she wondered if she could just ride off, sail off with Petyr and no one would be the wiser, sure, she would never leave sansa here but still, if sansa wasnt here she would have already left. She knew that for a fact, her and petyr would be at Robb's camps already and she would be reunited with her brother.

Rieka's hand went to her necklace, she fingered the wolf. It made her feel like Robb was with her. 

"Teas are huge." The whores agreed. 

"Is anyone working here or is this is a knitting club now?" One of the men bitched.

"Rieka," petyr wrapped an arm around her. "Come on, we should be upstairs, I dont like you down here with all of them." He nodded to the patrons. 

"Upstairs we go." Rieka agreed. "What's in a moon tea? Does anyone know?" They shook their heads. 

"Which is why we got little bastards running around."

"Child care!" Another whore declared. "That would be nice," They nodded in agreement. Rieka moved to one woman a babe on her teat. 

"Born last fortnight," She remarked. 

"So precious." Rieka whispered.   "I wouldnt mind spending a few hours with the children every day." Rieka offered. "I have many younger siblings and I can't wait for my own, this would be good practice." The ladies all nodded in agreement. 

"Rieka you are a Godsent!" 

"Janos... what can I do for you this evening?" Petyr pondered. "Let me guess, a blonde." 

"Not here for your whores littlefinger." Janos hissed as he pushed past Petyr. 

"What?" Petyr demanded chasing after him. "You can't be up here." he corrected. Was he coming for Rieka, how did he even know she was here. Rieka picked up a crying baby and lulled him back to sleep. 

"Does this one have a name?" Rieka questioned. 

"Robbie." 

"Robbie." Rieka whispered smiling down at him. "He's perfect." 

"Thats your twins name, isnt it?" they realized. 

"Yes, Robb," Rieka agreed when the door flung open, she saw Petyr shoved back hitting the wall and she shouted out. The men didnt care they grabbed the babies, Rieka clutched little Robbie closer. THe babe was pulled from the woman teat and stabbed, the woman cried out. Janos moved to Rieka and she screamed bloody murder before sending a foot out. It collided with his chest and he stumbled back. 

"I have my orders bitch!" Janos shouted. 

"Orders? To kill innocent babies?" RIeka shouted holding Robbie closer the woman screamed out. 

"I have my orders, give me the babe!" 

"This is my baby!" Rieka shouted back. "You can't hurt my baby!" He stared at her a long moment. "get out now, You and your monster men are not allowed in any of Petyr's establishments ever again." Rieka declared. "Get out!" She demanded. Petyr had a trickle of blood on his face once he pulled himself up and came in to the screaming, sobbing woman, Rieka was furious among them. 

"This your baby littlefinger?" Janos questioned pointing a blade at Rieka but she was unyielding. She was going to protect this baby. 

"Yes." Petyr answered without hesitation. "Get out." Petyr demanded. 

That night they had a funeral for all the babes, Rieka tried to give Robbie back to his real mother but she shook her head. 

"They will come for him, he is not safe with me." she answered softly. 

"I can keep him safe." Rieka declared. "I will protect him."

"WIll you raise him as your own?" She pondered. Rieka looked to Petyr. 

"Yes. I will." She answered as Petyr met her gaze. 

"Seems I have a son." Petyr remarked holding onto Rieka. "What's the little lads name?" 

"Robbie Stark-Baelish." Rieka answered. Petyr pressed a kiss to her forehead and she sighed. 

"Thank you Rieka, thank you." 

"I will protect him with my life." Rieka assured. "No one will touch him."

''I heard there was trouble at Baelish is brothel house the other night.'' Tyrion remarked.

''Yes it had to be done' Janos Slynt agreed.

'Yes I understand people can get rowdy but I didn't know that included killing newborn babies...'' Tyrion remarked. 

''Orders are orders,' He told him nonchalantly. 

'' you are right, of course orders are orders.' Tyrion tested.

'Especially the Queens orders.' Slynt agreed.

'I never said they were the Queens orders.'

'No but...' Slynt began.

'Who else would want to murder King Roberts bastards. She's always been a jealous woman.' Tyrion told them.

'You know your sister better than I do' slynt offered.

'You've heard the awful rumors about my brother and sister.' Tyrion went on.

'I do not listen to filth' Slynt assured.

'Well that's nice but you have heard. I suppose people who do believe that filth would believe Robert bastards to have a better claim of the throne then cersei's children' Tyrion went on.

'Joffrey is my king the rest does not interest me.''

''Loyal.' Loyal to the wrong people though.

"Meet me son, Robbie." Rieka remarked fondly. Sansa stared back at RIeka confused. 

"Son?"
