Chapter 10

Arya smiled as she stepped out of Gendry's car. When prom finished both Gendry and Podrick offered to drive their girlfriends home. They had agreed now they were back at the Stark mansion. She saw Sansa getting out of Pod's car in the space next to her. She turned back to Gendry's car; coming around to the driver's side. She leaned in the open window and they kissed.

"I'll see you tomorrow." She said quietly; as they parted. "I'll call you."

He agreed and she stepped back, joining Sansa as the boys drove away. Sansa turned to Arya grinning when she saw the smile on her sister's face.

"Well, not how it was originally planned, but you had fun tonight, right?"

Arya turned to her. "Yeah, okay, I admit it. It was kinda fun."

Sansa nodded, beaming and together they turned and headed inside the house. Ned and Cat were still up; they looked up and smiled as their daughters entered the house.

"Welcome back." Ned greeted them happily. "How did it go?"

Sansa smiled and immediately replied. "Great."

She then began to tell them everything that happened; including Gendry's appearance and what happened when he arrived and afterwards. She stopped when she saw the smiles on her parent's faces.

"You knew?" She gasped.

They nodded and Cat explained. "Arya didn't want to say anything about it, wanted to leave it a surprise."

Sansa sighed; she might have guessed that. She took a deep breath and continued her narrative.

When Sansa explained about when Arya gave up her Prom Queen title in Sansa's favour, Ned and Cat smiled proudly at their younger daughter. It was when she reached the part about Gendry, making his pledge to Arya, that Cat saw it. She happened to glance down and saw; on Arya's right ring finger, a silver ring decorated with a single diamond and a light blue band around it.

"Arya; is that…?" She gasped.

Arya nodded. "Yup, a promise ring; Gendry has the other one."

Ned looked at his youngest daughter carefully for a moment. "So you both…?"

Arya nodded and finally, Ned smiled, as did Cat, relieved that finally Arya had found someone she trusted so fully with her heart. Sansa finished her story and finally; the girls headed upstairs. Arya removed the pumps and let out a relieved sigh as she finally removed the dress and earrings. She was glad to finally be out of it; but, knowing Sansa and her mother would throw a fit otherwise, she took care to ensure it was neatly put away. She removed her bra, throwing it in her laundry basket, and then pulled on a plain flannel T-shirt. It was clearly too big for her, reaching down to her knees. It had once belonged to Gendry; Arya wore it as pyjamas now.

There was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Yeah?" She called out.

"It's me Arya."

She smiled. "Come in mum."

Catelyn entered; Arya sat down on the bed and waited; wondering what her mother wanted.

Cat seemed to ponder something for a moment. "Arya; it's clear you and Gendry truly love each other…I just; I want to be careful, please."

Arya blushed at that.

"Mum, we haven't…we never."

"That's not quite what I meant, but a valid point." Catelyn replied quickly. "What I mean is; it's not his fault but he doesn't exactly live in a safe neighbourhood."

Arya nodded at that; calming down. "I know mum, don't worry, I'm always careful when I go there."

Catelyn nodded and then sighed. "There's something I really should tell you."

Arya started at that and then listened as her mother spoke.

"You know, when you were born, I assumed you'd be like Sansa. When you turned out to be her opposite, I was a bit worried for you, because life and people can be hard towards different men and women. But you proved me wrong, by being yourself and by having someone who loves you so perfectly. I'm glad it happened."

Arya smiled and hugged her mother. Catelyn returned the hug, kissing the top of Arya's head.

"Good night, baby girl." She said softly.

Arya blushed but smiled and said good night.

As Catelyn left Arya shook her head with a sigh. 'Really wish mum would stop calling me that, I'm sixteen for Gods sake.'

She shook her head and lay down on her bed, pulling the blankets up to cover herself. She smiled lightly.

'Still a bit of pain; but, prom wasn't too bad…in fact, this night turned out to be better than anything I could've hoped for.'

With that happy thought, Arya Stark drifted off to sleep; looking forwards to tomorrow and the changes it would bring for her and Gendry.

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