Chapter Text
Ramsay felt at peace for once in his life. All sore and tired from this experience, he cried for the first time in years.
How did he get here?
How was this happening?
For once he did not feel lonely. He had made bad choices all his life but this was not one of them. He never thought a loveless night with a man unknown could give him all the love in the world.
His baby, still wet from birth, moved against him, looking for warmth. He cradled her and began to clean her. Gods she was so small, but she was breathing alright. She had a small tuft of hair that stuck to her. The smallest of fingers and a sweet smile. Closed lids hid pale grey eyes.
He brought her to his breast, hoping to feed her. Surprisingly she did not fuss. She had come out with a piercing cry that had calmed down to whimpers.
It was a quiet night , only the moon kept them company. The moonlight against her soft cheeks reminded him why he was doing this, why he had endured so much for her.
He wondered if anyone if not everyone knew, he had visibility gained weight but no one outright questioned him.
His own step mother had a child recently. Whenever his brother cried his teats would leak. At first he wondered why but soon he felt his child move.
She had dark hair that curled at the ends. Her cheeks and nose were dusted with pink. He had to find clothes for her but that could wait until later. He felt as if he couldn't move another muscle, so he drifted off to sleep.
