Better Man / Helaena Targaryen / Peter Parker out now!

"Can I have a necklace like yours?" Robbie questioned as he fingered RIeka's ring from Robb on her neck. 

"I think we should have matching rings, that would be fun." RIeka agreed and RObbie nodded.

"I know a welder in town," petyr remarked from the stove. "I will what he can do."

"We can have him make you a new pin." Rieka suggested. "With our new sigil too." Petyr smiled back at her. 

 Sayla and Haven pat their little stomachs as Petyr cooked waiting impatiently.

'I hun-ge' Haven declared. 

"HUNGER!" Sayla agreed. 

"They got your dramatics." Petyr teased. Rieka tossed her hair over her shoulder. 

'Alright then lets go find some supper.' Rieka suggested scooping them up and putting them in their chairs strapping them in. "Petyr, hurry up they hunger! They hunger my love."

"Food is coming right up." Petyr agreed. 

"MAMA!" HAven shouted. Rieka spun around thinking she hurt herself in the three seconds since Rieka turned her head. "Dolly?" Haven whimpered looking for it. 

"Where is dolly?" Rieka questioned. 

"Dolly? Dolly?" Haven called out before little tears filled her eyes. "Dolly!" 

"Petyr?" Rieka questioned. 

"I think she had outside." Petyr recalled. "But I thought she brought it back." 

"Is dolly inside or outside HAven?" Rieka pondered. 

"Dolly, dolly, dolly." Haven whimpered as she looked around the room from her seat. "Where dolly?"

"I will find Dolly." Rieka assured. "Robbie can you help me?" 

"Me too!" Eddie shouted jumping up. "Dont worry Haven, we will find favorite dolly." 

"Ank uo." Haven whimpered as Rieka pressed a kiss to her head. 

"Alright boys, search the house first I will check outside." Rieka instructed and the boys went around the rooms. Rieka headed outside with Avalon. "Avalon find dolly." Rieka instructed and she put her nose in the air and then to the ground, tracking the doll. 

While looking for Haven's dolly that she had somehow dropped. Rieka didn't know how, Haven had a grip on her dolly at all times and she couldn't fall asleep without it. There was a mini melt down and it would have turned into a major meltdown in no time if they didnt find dolly. 

She retraced her steps that day looking under things, barrels and crates, logs anything where Dolly could have gotten stuck but she didn't find it. 

'Come on, where are you...' Rieka muttered when Avalon started digging in the sand. "You got it?" Rieka questioned hopefully. 

When they got back Petyr had Arry on his hip helping him finish up their meal. Arry gripped the spoon banging it around the pot, splashing as he went. He laughed out when he spilled onto Petyr or himself. Haven jumped in her seat when she saw dolly. 

"Avalon found her." Rieka remarked. 

"Dolly!" Haven declared hugging her to herself. "Oh Dolly!" 

"Oh Dolly indeed." Rieka agreed taking a seat. "Went on a treasure hunt already today Petyr, come on pick up the pace." She teased. 

"Arry is being very helpful." Petyr mused. "But maybe if you took him we would finish faster." Rieka reached out for Arry and he babbled away. 

"Can I say grace?" Eddie questioned once they were all sitting down. 

"That would be lovely." Rieka agreed as she grabbed Petyrs hand. Avalon sat, chin on the table ready for fallen food from the kids plates. 

"Hello Gods, its me. Eddie." eddie began and Rieka held back a laugh. "Thank you for mama and daddy and Avalon and Sayla, and-" Rieka reached over touching his little head as he said all his siblings names. He really was her sweet boy. "And thank you for Avalon finding dolly for Haven. Amen." 

"Amen." Rieka agreed. 

"Dolly." Haven agreed as she grabbed a fistful of noodles.

That night Rieka saw Bran. She was home, she was in winterfell, she didnt see her children in the snow, didnt see Petyr. She saw Bran. She saw Robb and her father. She sobbed out reaching for them but she couldnt touch them. 

"Rieka." Bran declared. He had grown up so much, he wasnt a little boy anymore, he was a man. 

"Are you really here?" 

"I'm here in westeros. I'm alive." Bran agreed. Rieka ran to him bare feet sinking into the snow but she wasnt cold at all. Why wasnt she cold, why didnt she feel the cold on her skin? She held her baby brother. 

"I missed you Rieka." Bran whispered clinging to her. 

"This is a dream, I am dreaming and you arent here, just like Robb and dad." Rieka realized. 

"I'm in westeros and you are in Braavos." Bran agreed. "But I'm here. I see you Rieka." 

"Bran... bran..." Rieka hugged him tighter, she could feel him. She sobbed out as snowflakes fell down around them. 

"Come home rieka."

"I have a home here. In Braavos, I'm here here." Rieka corrected. 

"Come home Rieka." Bran begged. Rieka looked around and saw all the things she used to love, and how the lannisters corrupted their home. 

"You dont have to see the pain and pain alone." Bran added. "You can still remember the good." 

"I'm... I feel so broken here Bran, so fragile." Rieka countered and bran shook his head. 

"RIeka, you are fragile." Bran agreed and Rieka choked out a laugh. 

"Thanks." Rieka agreed. 

"RIeka you not fragile like a flower you are fragile like a bomb." Bran corrected. 

"Calling me deadly?"

"Bombs hurt some to protect others..." Bran countered. "I need you to come home, to the capital." 

"The capital is not home." Rieka countered. 

"You need to come, please, promise me you will come." Bran begged and she felt herself being shook. "Rieka please, I need you here, even if its just for a moment." 

"Bran-" Rieka whispered. "This is a dream, I'm not here and you are not... this isnt real." Rieka reminded him. 

"It's the closest we can get while you are a worlds away." Bran countered, he pressed a kiss to her cheek and she stared back at him. "Your children are ready to break their fast I believe." Bran offered with a knowing smile. "See you soon Rieka." 

When Rieka's eyes opened Eddie and RObbie were jumping on the bed, Avalon howled out. Petyr was putting his pants on and Rieka blinked back to reality. 

Rieka was being ridiculous but she had this strange dream and just had to see Bran. She felt like she was being called to Westeros.
