The Realm's Saviour (A GAME OF THRONES FANFICTION)

Chapter 18

Ashara lay in bed that night as Measter Luwin inspected her. Here was a man who she trusted him with her life. Jon wanted to stay in but Luwin would hear none of it, so Jon listen from the other side of the door, but Luwin shooed him away.

Luwin had noticed Ashara had many mood swings, and cravings, plus her belly had swelled in the time of her absence.

Luwin stood from his sitting position on the bed and looked down on her.

"I have news for you," Luwin said smiling.

"Yes," Ashara asked sitting up.

"You are with child."

~~

It had been two days and Ashara could not find the right time or way to tell Jon or anyone else. Luwin promised that he would tell no one until she did. Ashara convinced Jon that she had eaten something that hadn't agreed with her. She wore more flowy dresses to make sure no one could see her swelling belly.

Ashara kept herself busy with Jany, going out on Horas and Jany was spending more time with Arya and Sansa. Sansa always got frustrated with Arya when she took Jany out and practiced with wooden swords. Ashara and Sansa were spending more time with each other, Sansa was teaching Ashara to use and needle and thread, a skill Ashara never thought valuable, but Ashara knew she needed it.

Jon, Robb, Ned and other men spent most of their time planning and making sure men were ready.

One night Ashara felt was if she had not seen her love in ages so she went to his chambers where she heard Jon and Robb talking.

"It's Ashara," she spoke after she knocked and then opened the door.

Jon and Robb were standing by a table with a large map covering it. The two kept talking as she sat on the bed listening.

"Well we need forces for scouting," Robb suggested.

"Yes, but we need our forces for an strong and sturdy offence. We would only be able to spare a couple," Jon replied putting his hands on the edge on of table and leaning.

"Can I make a suggestion," Ashara spoke and walked over to the table. War pieces were set on the map, lions, wolves, stags and other assorted pieces.

"I can take some of my men to greet Daenerys and bring her back here to Winterfell. Send five of your most trusted soilders out with a scout in different directions. Send one out to the Tully's, the Frey and Arryn. We can use their help, but we need a scout to see where their true loyalties lie," Ashara spoke her hand tracing over the map, "And in the end to see if they would join our cause, and we only need to sent a very small group, to attract no attention."

Robb nodded and Jon just smiled with his arms crossed, in a good way.

"That is a very good proposition, I'll go tell father," Robb said standing with many papers in hand, "Good night." Then he left swiftly.

"Well my dear, you make my plan look like a dead deer on a feast day," Jon said chuckling as he looked over the map.

"It's like I haven't seen you in ages," Ashara murmured in his ear.

"Wars take planning," Jon descanted and turned around to face Ashara. They held each others hands and Jon traced his fingers over Ashara's cheek, sending tingles down her body.

"Jon take a break from the war to be, please," she begged.

"I would do anything for you," Jon conversed as their lips delicatly touched.

They kissed more as Jon picked her up and lay her on the bed. The furs tickled her skin, it was nice to feel something that made her feel at home.

Ashara's whole body started shaking as Jon starting kissing down her collarbone.

"What is it," Jon asked worried. Ashara quickly sat up and took one of Jon's hand.

"My love I do not know how to tell you this but I will just show you," she spoke softly. Ashara took Jon's hand and placed it on her belly.

Jon was confused at first, but his eyes widen in relization. His fingers spread over Ashara's belly, Jon could swear he felt a kick.

"Are you angry," Ashara asked, scared and looked down.

"Why would I be angry," Jon smiled, "You are my love, my soon to be wife, I could never be mad at you."

Ashara leaned and kissed Jon perfectly on his lips.

"I love you," she breathed.

"I love you more," Jon replied.

"Please take a break with me just for tonight, then we can go back to the war ahead," Ashara said looking into his eyes.

The two lay down in the soft bed of furs and fell happily asleep.
