“You are my wife Cat. I shall let them find us however I please. How you please” He stated, grinning at her, his eyes looking down at her lovingly. His hand placed under her chin and cupped her cheek. He still couldn’t believe he and she had finally been married today, just a few hours ago. He had a wife and he was her husband.

“You are Lady Stark.” He purred as he moved to match her own movement and took a hold of her, a arm placed around her waist as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, his hips lightly rocking against hers as he teased her as she was teasing him. Two could play at that game. “We could get to the bedding early, surprise everyone and I could eat my dessert before everyone else gets to theirs.” He half joked as his hips moved again and again rocking against her. They were so close to being fully and in every way officially married and he felt like he couldn’t wait any longer. “I want you so much my love.”

“Get your dress out of the trunks than, we’ll get a banner from one of your fathers men and one of one from my own and we can use those as stand in cloaks.” He told her with ease, quick on the thinking, himself having no idea where his houses cloak was at.

“Not ever wedding needs to be planned and outlined, nor need fancifulness to it. We’re not royals.” He chuckled as he put his large hand over her smaller one and squeezed it. “A few weeks ago I could have been dead. A few weeks later who knows what could happen. I want you now Cat. We’ve waited far too long for this. Far too long. I want you to be my wife, not so that I can just bed you, but because I want to start a life with you.”

“I trust you will” He nodded with approval, glad that this whole debacle was starting to smooth itself out given time. “I did the right thing right? Telling you the truth?” He asked, unsure of himself in a moment of doubt which was telling for the Wild Wolf of House Stark who was so sure of himself and hardly ever thought before going into things.

“He’s always been a sneaky bastard even in our youth. I just…I worry about you and your sister.” He gave a chuckle. “No….never, do you think I’d do that again?” He asked, a mischievous grin on his face for a moment as he leaned in to kiss her cheek. “He’s a smart lad that one.” His smile turned to one of fondness and than he looked back at Cat, a look of seriousness. “Let’s get married now. Today, while everyone still here. It’s a day to celebrate mine and Eddard’s return, why not make it double the occasion and be wed after so long?”

“I could yes. But let’s hope they stay dark in color.” Brandon repeated before he gave a shrug to her words on Eddard. “Why not? At war things happen. Maybe they wanted a night together in case they couldn’t be with one another after the war and he died. Robert bedded many a woman, i’m sure on his quest for his ‘betrothed’ he whored.”

As she took the boy from his arms, Brandon gave a relieved a sigh and his shoulders slumped as the tension left him just a bit. “Eddard already knows. Benjen is going to the wall, they’re safe. Benjen more so.  What would your father think? By the way Holster, I didn’t get your daughter pregneat before the wedding but this is my son whose actually my nephew, you know…Lyanna. Well she and Rhaegar, yes that Rhaegar had a child from a union and this is it” He asked, truly wondering how she would would handle her father with this situation. 

“And if Lysa and Petyr are in correspondence? Lysa would tell him anything. No. I don’t trust her. You know that. “ He looked at Cat holding Jon and he gave a small smile. “You look beautiful with a babe in your arms. It’s almost natural”

You’ll be back, I’m sure of it,” It was a question of when he would return. The wedding was in less than a month. “You’re sure it’s a good idea to go tearing off to the Red Keep? Your father’s not even sure where Lyanna is, she might not even be there.”

“No, but you know it’s in my nature to be reckless. An we will find Lyanna. No matter the cost. She’ll be brought home I promise.” He told her before he kissed he cheek and took up his sword to sheath it. “I’ll be back before you know i’m gone”

— It had been too long. The war was declared won with Robert on the throne and he, after barely surviving being strangled to death had lost his sister and father in one fell swoop and thanks to Eddard had been saved the same fate. Thus, he returned, babe in his arms and looking exhausted from the long trip and he rubbed his neck wondering if the scarring from the rope and the ache would pass with time.

“Cat-” He called out, looking for his wife to be, hoping she was here still in Winterfell, awaiting his return.
