Mailbox for Sansa Stark (and Eddara)

The babe was officially late, Sansa had decided. The estimated due date had been March. It was now April, only the second day of the month but still. Her back ached all the time and the only thing that helped - as her mother had advised during her first pregnancy was walking. She had left Eddara with Caspian, assured him that it was absolutely fine ( Read more... )

Eddara had not seemed particularly upset at the loss of her uncle. Until the first time she had seen Rickon trailing about asking for his father plaintively. Since then Eddara had started trailing Caspian everywhere he went whenever she could. She'd also stopped called Rickon Ick, which Sansa could only be relieved at because Rickon did not need ( Read more... )

Sansa is watching Eddara play peacefully when she hears the howl. Eddara looks up from her game of dolls and peeps out of the front door just as Lady answers in a mournful tone. Then the pups join in and Eddara clamps her hands over her ears instead of mimicking the wolves. "Eddara come here," Sansa said, worry flooding her and though Eddara shakes ( Read more... )

Sansa did wonder if she should even bring it up at all. It was a little thing and a big thing all at once and just by mentioning it she almost felt like she was correcting Caspian and at the same time reminding him about his lack of siblings. Which wasn't fair at all. Yet he did have perhaps a slightly unrealistic idea of what having a sibling - or ( Read more... )

The first time they had decorated the house, it had been fun. Sansa and Caspian had taken Eddara out in the snow and when she had finally had enough of throwing snow around (but not at anyone after a firm talking too,) they had all gathered decorations and lights at her discretion ( Read more... )

It's been days now and Sansa can forget about the books if she tries very hard - or lets herself by distracted by housework and Eddara's antics. Susan taught her some sort of game that involves hopping and it's all she wants to play ever since. But now Eddara is safely asleep and tucked up in bed and Caspian is making one last check on something ( Read more... )
