Prologue

Catelyn stared at her husband, unbelieving what she saw is his arms. He already had one bastard she had to deal with, but two?

" Ned, what is this baby doing here? You promised me..."

" I'm not her father, Cat. " He interrupted her, looking at the small baby girl in his arms. " I found her when I was coming back. Her father was ready to drown her at the blackwater bay, but he stopped. He couldn't do it.

She slowly got closer.

" He couldn't do that. " He looked at her green, huge eyes. " Just left her on the floor, like garbage. I don't know what happened with me, but I thought about Robb, and how her family must be too poor to feed another kid."

" They didn't want her to starve to death. " The lady whispered.

Ned nodded.

" Then she was in my arms, and I couldn't let her go. "

She took the girl in her arms. She always wanted a daughter and the gods may have sent her as an indication of their family next baby.

" She so small. " Catelyn noticed. " And so light. She must have been born before the right time. "

He felt his heartbeats slowing down. The girl had already found a place in his wife's heart.

" We need to take her to Maester Luwin. " She frowned.

" So she'll stay? "

She smiled when the girl yawned, thinking about how adorable she looked.

" Unless you want to go back to King's Landing and leave her back where you found her, yes, she'll stay. "
