𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐒 prominent enough to make the ranger which showed up at the gate to sniff his nose.
"Dump your bastard at some other door, lady" he spat
"Jon Snow, your Lord Commander, he's-"
"Your baby daddy? Fuck off, woman" He turned around to leave, but when he was about to shout at his mates to shut the gate Ryne's growl stopped him.
He stares at the direwolf wide-eyed, realisation hitting his small mind "Come in, my lady, you must be freezing" he welcomes me in
"Call the Lord Commander" he whispers to one of the men who were with him. He nods at the command and disappears inside to fetch Jon.
In the meantime, I get off Stranger and hand the reins to the man "I want him fed and watered. I'll be checking him later" then, a door opens to reveal the surprised figure of my brother.
Jon hurries down the stairs and hugs me without saying a word or giving me time to react. I return the embrace and be stand like that until he notices my four months bump.
He remains speechless, more surprised than he already was. "Let's bring you inside" he finally finds his voice
I nod, allowing him to guide me inside. I was given a room and shared supper with Jon.
"And who is...I mean..." his gaze fixes to my pretty big belly, trying to chose the right words for his question.
I swallow the nothingness in my mouth "Sandor Clegane" I figure out what he wanted to ask
"And where is he now?" his voice was giving no emotion at all
A knot at the base of my throat is starting to form "he died"
My brother looked forward, for more information "How did you escape King's Landing?"
"We escaped during the Battle of Blackwater, after sometime we found Arya and tried to get to Robb. And Robb died. Then we wanted to go to the Vale, to aunt Lysa. And aunt Lysa died. It was Brienne of Tarth, with some stupid vow she swore to my mother time ago, trying to get Arya. And Sandor died protecting us. " I lick the dryness on my lips away
Jon nodded, pressing his lips "Don't worry. We'll manage to get through this too" He assures me
"I see you did well yourself here" I sketch a small smile and Jon returns it.
"I will let you rest, I still have things to do, but I'll see a bath and new clothes brought to you" He rose from his seat, bending to kiss my cheek before leaving to do his own business.
"Seems like we're safe now, eh?" I lower my gaze to my belly, gently rubbing it

"𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐃" Jon's friend, whose name I learned is Sam hands him another paper to sign, asking for more men for the Watch.
Samwell fucking Tarly. I must admit I quite forgotten about his brother, Dickon, former my betrothed, yet meeting Sam enlightened my memories. It the fact that this clown-looking pal, who is surprisingly very smart is the brother of that imbecile Dickon was almost unbelievable.
Our introduction, made by Jon was at first awkward, but after some time we began enjoying one another, his lack of stupidity making it even easier to like him.
"Lady Caulfield" he gives him another paper. "Oh, Lord Smallwood"
"I've never heard of these people" Jon tells his comrade
"I did. And you need them to man the Wall, so go on" I steal a glace at him, but bringing my eyes back quickly to the piece of material I tried to make a small tunic from for the little one.
Oh, I wish Sansa could be here to help me...
The cloth was alright, however I knew Sansa could make it look even better."How many man does this Lord Mayzen have to send us?" Jon questions Sam again
"More than Lord Wibberley" he smiles, handing my brother another paper
Jon dips his quill in ink and suddenly stops "Not him"
"I know, I'm sorry, but we need men and supplies and Roose Bolton's the Warden of the North" Sam's statement makes me rise my head from my task
"He murdered our brother" Jon argues
"We swore to be the watchers on the Wall. We can't watch the Wall with 50 men. And we can't get more men without help from the Warden of the North" With a heavy heart, Jon signs that damn piece of paper.
Sam is ready to leave, when Stannis' Red Witch barges in Jon's office.
"Lord Commander" she greets him
"How can I help you?"
"Come with us when we ride South" the Red Lady proposes "None of us know the castle as well as you do. Its hidden tunnels, its weaknesses, its people" What makes Stannis think he'll even get to Winterfell on this weather?
"Winterfell was your home once. Don't you want to chase the rats out of it"
The offer is tempting. And Jon is smarter "Castle Black is my home now. The Night's Watch take no part in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms" Or perhaps it's his stupid honor talking
"There's only one war. Life against death. Come let me show what you're fighting for"
"You're going to show me some vision in the fire? Forgive me, my lady, I don't trust in visions"
"No visions, no magic. Just life" she walks closer to him
She takes off her dress without saying more, as she did not notice me-I hope.
"Do you feel my heart beating?" She moves his hand to her breast.
Jon nods "There's power in you. You resist it, that's your mistake. Embrace it" The witch smiles, but my brother is stronger than this and he removes his hand.
"The Lord of Light made us male and female" Yes, my lady, we know how babies are made "Two parts of a greater whole. In our joining, there's power" She gets on top of him, slowly unbuttoning his coat "Power to make life, power to make light and power to cast shadows"
"I don't think Stannis would like that very much"
"Then we shouldn't tell him"
"I can't"
"Why?"
"I swore a vow. I loved another"
"The dead don't need lovers. Only the living" Blessing my eyes, Jon pushes her off
"You know nothing, Jon Snow" and with a sly smile she leaves
"Who the fuck does she think she is?" I exclaim, disgusted.
