[for Edmund]
[set to after her appointment]
After her appointment with the doctor, Susan couldn't go back to the clinic to see Jon, nor did she want to go and pick Rickon up from Sansa's straight away. She was too shaken by the confirmation that she was, in fact, very much pregnant. Pregnant, with a son who needed constant attention and a husband whose injuries prevented him from doing very much to help. She'd been sick so much already--how was she going to keep their household running at this rate? It was too much, and she needed to talk to someone just to get it off her chest, but she couldn't talk to Sansa--her best friend was too happy about her own pregnancy, she didn't need Susan's problems dragging her down and ruining it for her.
But there was one person she could talk to about it, who she had lately come to realise she could talk to about anything at all. She was on his doorstep and trying not to cry, hoping he was alone and she wasn't interrupting anything.
