Sansa and Jon have been married for over 25 years now . They have 4 children . Two boys and two girls . What had started out as a marriage of convenience turned into a full blown life long love affair . They are now awaiting the birth of their first grandchild .

Their oldest daughter Lyanna is married to the future King Rickard. Rickard is Robb and Rosalins oldest son . He was 2 years older than Lyanna and had been playmates that discovered their love for one another during their late teenage years .

Both sets of grandparents are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first grandchild . Rickard is with Lyanna inside the birthing chamber . This practice was first adopted by Jon who refused to let Sansa go through the births alone . Now many fathers routinely were in the birthing chambers .

Robb: I can't take much more of this . This is nerve wracking . Roslin or Sansa one of you go inside and see what's happening .

Jon:  This is worse than when  Sansa went through the births . What is happening with my daughter ?

Roslin : This is normal . Robb we've been through this 3 times , and you know the first child always takes the longest .

Robb: I was young then my darling wife , I'm old now and this is our grandchild .

Jon: Sansa was it this long with Lyanna ?

Sansa : Longer ! As I recall you fainted Jon , and Sam had up revive you ! That's why you don't remember how long it was !

Jon: I couldn't let you go through that alone and the first time it was Sansa constantly reassuring me vs the other way around . ( Jon says smiling ) .

Sansa squeezes his hand .

Just then Rickard comes out with a huge smile on his face .

Rickard : Its a boy ! Lyanna  and the baby are fine .

The grandparents all shuffle  in to meet their new grandson .

Jon and Sansa both kiss their daughter .
Jon: My baby has a baby !
Sansa : He's so beautiful sweetling !
Lyanna : Thank you , I'm exhausted .

Robb: He is a handsome fellow . What will you name him ?

Rickard and Lyanna in unison : Eddard Stark , Ned for short .

Sansa has tears in her eyes . They're tears of joy . She has more than she had ever hoped for . Jon  , the love of her life , her kids , her family and now a grandchild . The Gods had tested her but they had also blessed her immensely she was joyful .

Roslin : I can't think of a finer name .

Jon : He looks like Uncle Ned . He is a handsome young fellow .  (Jon felt overwhelming gratitude , he had gotten to his life with his love Sansa . She had given him his own family . Four beautiful children and now he had an adorable grandson. He could never be grateful enough .)

Life has come full circle . The Starks lived joyfully in Winterfell for the rest of their lives .

THE END
