Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Chapter 5 - A New Egg

It has been about two months since the wedding and life in Winterfell was perfect. Lord Stark and Lady Stark accept me into their life as their own child. Arya, Bran, and I have become close, I train them in archery and sword fighting. Rickon follows me around and asking for stories of the magic and of the great Phoenixes that protect the lands. Sansa and I have grown more distant over the months but mainly because I spend much time with Arya, Bran, Jon, and Robb. Sansa care more about stitching and dresses while I prefer swords. Jon is one of my greatest friends as he is Robb’s. The weeks passed quickly as Lady Catelyn taught me the needs of being the Lady of Winterfell she was always displeased when I practiced swords but in the end she knew it was something from my home that wouldn’t be changed.

It was an early morning as I rolled away from Robb’s sleeping form. My stomach felt pained and weak, standing up slowly I walked to the mirror where a basin of water stood. I splashed the water gently on my face as Magicae cooed next to me. “I’m fine Magicae just a little upset stomach,” I smiled at him petting his head lightly. I turned to return to the bed but I fell to the ground before releasing my stomach contents on the floor. Magicae cawed moving to Robb and pecking at his head for help. I tried standing but my body was to weak to move.

“Magicae it is early morning please let me rest,” I heard Robb mumble.

“Robb help me,” I called out weakly causing him to shoot out of bed quickly.

“What is wrong my love?” Robb asked moving around the mess.

“I do not know, can you get Maester Luwin quickly,” I said before throwing up again this time in a pot instead of on the floor.

“Don’t move, I’ll be back as fast as I can,” Robb said before wrapping his robe around himself and bolting out the door.

When he returned I was half asleep leaning against the bed. Maester Luwin quickly came over as two chambermaids cleaned up my mess and started filling the bath.

“My Lord, will you step out for a moment while I tend to the Lady?” Maester Luwin asked after Robb had placed me on the bed. Robb nodded kissing my hand delicately before leaving shutting the door behind him.

“My dear child, you are not sick, I am sure of it,” Maester Luwin said with a smile.

“How do you know? You have not even checked me,” I said flustered.

“You have a glow, and Magicae here has been guarding you even more. Let me ask you My Lady when was your last blood moon?” Maester Luwin asked as Magicae rubbed his head against my tummy.

“Oh my gods,” I gasped touching my stomach, “I have not had one since before the wedding,” I said looking up at Maester Luwin. “I just have not noticed I have been so busy an-“ I started to say but Maester Luwin cut me off.

“It is fine My Lady, this is a good thing,” Maester Luwin said as her felt my stomach through my night slip. “Your time line does seem correct My Lady, I would say you are about two months along,” Maester Luwin smiled as the Chambermaids finished cleaning.

“The bath is ready My Lady,” Fiora said as she helped me up.

“Thank you Fiora. Please help me into the bath and let Robb back in, and then you and Jeyne may leave and girls thank you for your help but please keep this quite for now especially keep it from Lady Sansa Jeyne she will ell the whole world,” I laughed as the girls nodded. Fiora pulled my night shift over my head and helped me into the bath as Jeyne, left the Robb and granted access to Robb.
