A low growl emanated from his throat as she spoke about lies and he had not had a baby in his arms she would know his true wild nature. He knew she would think ill of him and think this a child of another woman, how crazy it would sound for this to be his sisters babe. “I’m not lying Catelyn. This is my sisters babe. Hafl wolf and half dragon. When she spoke of the child, of Rhaegar love was clear on her face. I don’t believe this may have been a true bastard. It was clear Rhaegar wanted a third child, to fufil that vision of his…Elia couldn’t have another, it was spread like wild-” He stopped short before he could finish, having flashbacks to the Mad King and knowing from Jaime Lannister what he had wanted to do to Kings Landing…

“What was it called again? Prince that was promised? I know one of the lines calls for a song of ice and fire…Rhaegar was noble enough to not have a bastard unlike his father and ancestors. Nobler than Robert. But I’m still having trouble knowing for certain if this child if indeed a bastard or not.” Brandon shook his head as the babe fell asleep finally in his arms and he still stayed looking at Cat. “You don’t think Eddard would lie if he was in my position? Least I am telling you. Eddard is too noble to even do that if he was married and in my position. He’d take the blame and call it his bastard to your face. Bejen, I don’t know what he would even do…” Brandon was grateful that it was he that had found Lyanna and found the babe and he cared not for Robert. “You know I do not care what Robert thinks or believes. This child will be Stark if I have any say. Least a Snow…But he will be cared for and loved and treated as any trueborn son.”
