Nobody talked to you, nobody told you anything, but you could tell something was wrong, very, very wrong.
People seemed nervous and skittish, Aemond was gone for most part of the day, and night, he left you alone, and you took the opportunity to relax in your bed
You were grieving, but it was so hard, you had no process, no nothing, Cregan was far away, and suddenly he was dead, but you couldn't process it, you couldn't even think about it
A single tear fell down your eye as you touched your belly
Was it Cregan's? or was it Aemond's?
You couldn't possibly know
Yes you had bled, but the maester said it was common having a little spotting in early stages of pregnancy... but still... you were showing up quite early if you were to believe it was Aemond's
But you couldn't help but wonder...
You guessed you had to wait until it was born.
You hoped it was a girl but... if it was Cregan's you doubted Aemond was going to let you keep it, you could only pray that he would take the time to take it to Winterfell where she or he could be safe... but if it was his...
You cried louder
Once you stopped crying and were laying on your bed, Aemond entered the room
"I have news", he said, his voice sounded strangled, you sat on the bed and looked at him wide-eyed
"What?", you asked
"I will take you out of here", he said, like it was good news, perhaps they were
"Are we going to King's Landing?", you asked, your voice plain
"No, I'm taking you to your home in the Vale", that really surprised you
"What?", you asked, not believing him
"I'm already making the arrangements", he said, he was serious, but not like always, he did not have that superiority demeanor that always accompanied him
"And King's Landing?"
"No", he answered sharply, he wouldn't tell you anything, a war had broken outside these walls and you didn't even know what was happening, but one thing soothed you... If Aemond was here, he was not in the field, possibly killing members of your family.
