Twenty Three
~Ned's POV~
"Jon" he looks my way "there is something I need to tell you...about your mother" it has been a few hours and I know I can't keep this off, mainly because Hayley will have my balls if I don't tell him.
Jon stares at me along with Benjen, the truth of Jon's heritage is coming out and Hayley is making sure Jon is protected "Is she...does she know about me?"
"Your mother was Lyanna Stark" Benjen looks at me disgusted.
"You fucked our sister?" Benjen demands "I think I'll be sick"
I hit him upside the head "No! Jon" he stares at me "you have never been a bastard. My sister Lyanna, your mother—she fell in love with Rhaegar Targaryen"
"What?" Benjen asks
Jon stares at me silently processing the words I tell him "Robert's Rebellion was based on a lie...your parents loved you each very much that before you were born they got married"
"So" Jon asks "am I technically the heir of the realm? Why didn't you ever tell me before? How could you be near me? I was a constant reminder of why Robert's Rebellion occurred"
"For your safety, if Robert found out he would have had you killed and I could never hate you Jon" shaking my head no "From the moment I looked at you I have loved you and should have done more to keep you from Catelyn's wrath and it's my fault that I didn't. It's one of my biggest regrets along with I never got to legitimatize you or see you happy with some woman" Jon looks away blushing as Benjen laughs "What?"
"There is no more Night's Watch for me" What? What do they mean? "Hope...she may or may not have found a loophole that says all rangers under the current Lord Commander's watch who died recently would be freed from service if he did not name a successor"
"And since no successor was named" Benjen says "Jon here married a wilding" I'm sorry? What? "We brought all the wildings down from the wall to here"
"Why?" I ask
"Because the stories of the Night King?" Jon answers "their real" I'm sorry? Their what? "It's why we came here, to warn everyone. There is over a five hundred thousand white walkers"
Shaking my head "That can't be true"
"It is brother" Benjen nods his head "we along with the white walkers saw it with our own eyes, the only thing keeping us and the white walkers separate is the Wall"
"We need to tell Hayley" I say
"Hope probably already is" Jon says "Hope is scary"
~Hayley's POV~
"You mean zombies?" I ask Hope as she tells me about these white walkers that she saw "that large wall is the only thing keeping them and us apart?"
Nodding her head "Mom there are so many of them, they are led by this one guy who is basically an evil Jack Frost or Icicle or Sub Zero or a male version of Killer Frost but worse. Like he can bring people back from the dead mom"
"After killing this Night King" I am clear about this "we are destroying the Wall" I mean if that's the only reason to why the is there then it should be eliminated. Plus I want to see these unicorns that I'm being told about.
"Hayley" I see Ned come in all tense.
"Hope just told me" going over to him, wrapping my arms around his neck "don't worry, we will destroy these beings"
"How can they be destroyed?" Ned asks
"Dragon glass" Benjen tells us "and Dragonstone is filled with Dragonglass"
"Which reminds me" snapping my fingers "That Daenerys is planning on trying to take her father's throne, which problem do we deal with first?"
"As long as the Wall" Benjen informs me "remains high and strong you'll be fine but the moment it collapses, there is no point in having a Night's Watch"
"So we deal with this Daenerys first" I nod my head "then we deal with the zombies"
"Zombies?" Jon asks
"White walkers" Hope says
"But not now for you" Ned reminds me
"Oh right"
"What?" Hope asks "mom?"
"I'm pregnant" I found out a couple weeks ago and we wanted to wait until I was out of the first trimester to tell people. This time I'd have a pregnancy where I won't worry about witches and vampires and werewolf mafia members trying to kill me or my baby, this time I just need to worry about an evil guy who had ice powers and can bring people back from the dead and a woman who has three dragons trying to reclaim her family's throne. Oh, why can't things be easy?
"Your having a baby?" We see the other Stark children come out, they love me more than their mother Catelyn who none have bothered to go see.
"How do you kids feel about it?" I ask
"I can't wait for a new brother or sister!" Arya runs over hugging me, I hug her back.
"Congratulations mom" Hope hugs me after at the Stark children. I'm hoping for another girl, Ned and I have already spoken and we're going to name our little girl faith and if we have a boy we're naming him Edmund after Ned.
