Even though it terrified you to tell Robb that you were pregnant, you were far more terrified to lie to his parents and pretend that you were pregnant with his child. It had only been a matter of hours that you had known about this plan. You weren't certain of it but you were far too scared about what would happen without it. Robb had taken you to get changed and cleaned up, to make sure that there weren't any questions about why you were upset and in such a state.

Once you were ready, Robb took your hand and led you towards where he knew his mother and father would be. As you entered the room, he squeezed your hand and offered you a gentle smile to assure you that everything was going to be okay.

You had discarded your engagement ring, cathartically throwing it into a river, leaving behind your past to now offer you a future.

It may have seen like a quick turnaround but there wasn't time to wait. You were pregnant and soon you would be showing, you needed to be married before anyone knew that you were pregnant and hope that you could pass the different conception dates.

"Robb," Lord Stark smiled, rising from his seat as you and his son approached him. "How lovely to see you."

"What do we owe this pleasure?" Lady Stark added.

"I... I mean we need to speak to you about something of great importance," Robb stated trying to keep his head held high.

Although he was sure about helping you, he didn't want to disappoint his parents.

"Has something happened?" His father asked.

"I have failed to uphold the honour of our house and have made a mistake that cannot be undone. I understand the shame that can come with this, but I know honesty is the best policy to go by," Robb said softly. "Y/N and I are expecting a child."

Both of the Stark's expressions dropped as they exchanged a look. They held great pride in their eldest child and didn't expect anything like this from him.

"Y/N is pregnant?" Lady Stark asked.

You nodded your head, trying to keep your head hung low. "Yes, milady."

Lord Eddard let out a sigh, running a hand through his hair.

"What are you planning to do about this?" He asked.

Robb looked to you, continuing to reassure you with his smile.

"I wish to gain your blessing, although I know it will be hesitant. If we wed soon, no one will know that the pregnancy occurred before marriage. People may question it, but it will be only be speculation, unlike if we were to not wed."

His parents looked at each other, disapproving of the situation but wanting to try and cover it up and help their son keep his honour and image.

"We shall have to set our plans quickly," the Lord stated. "The wedding will be held no further than a fortnight. Are you sure about this, Robb?"

Robb smiled at you, love in his eyes, not that you could see it.

"I am certain father. I love Y/N."

If only you knew how true his words were.
