Chapter 10

Eddard Stark smiled as he sat in the living room of his home. It was Christmas day and both his family and the family of his wife, Catelyn, had gathered together. He looked around at his gathered family, a feeling of pride and happiness filling him. Benjen sat at the end of the couch; talking with Edmure and Hostor; who sat on the second couch. Lysa was also present with her boyfriend Petyr Baelish. The two had dated once before but the relationship ended when Hostor disapproved. He still disapproved, but Lysa refused to back down so he grudgingly accepted their relationship. It seemed to be working well however as Lysa seemed happier than ever. He then turned his attention to the last two people in the room. Catelyn and Lyanna were seated closest to the Christmas tree; both were talking and laughing happily. Meanwhile, seated on their laps were one year old infants. Ned and Catelyn's son Robb; looking so much like his mother, but with Ned's facial features. Lyanna's son Jon; born from her brief relationship with Rhaegar Targaryen; seemed to have inherited the Stark genes in regards to his appearance. The two infant boys were gazing in amazement at all the lights and decorations. Ned took a seat next to Catelyn, putting his arm around her; she leaned against him and Robb turned to smile at his father. Ned smiled back; happier than he had been for a long time.

'Well, we all made it; everything has never been better Brandon.' He thought to himself. 'We've never forgotten you. Everything you've done; both before and after your death, it has made us stronger.'

Still smiling he stood and, along with the rest of the family, prepared to begin their Christmas dinner. They were still expected guests, who would be arriving soon; but for now, it was just them, just the family. They basked in that moment; all of them enjoying the happiness.

End of chapter and of story, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
