Tubes and Wires || Robb and Heather
Robb slumps into a chair next to the incubator and rubs his eyes. He’s exhausted, between the nightmares and worrying about the baby here sleeping was not possible. Yet despite his worries over his daughter he was never able to bring himself to come here alone. He always brought someone with him, Sansa, Arya, Jon, anyone so he wouldn’t have to be alone here.
Today he was meeting Heather Reed here. The two of them had been friends since they were small and thick as thieves once. Over the last several years they’d grown apart as Robb married Jeyne and they tried to have a family, life had gotten in the way. It hadn’t stopped her stepping up when he’d asked her come today so he wouldn’t have to be alone. Sansa and Arya were both busy, Jon and Ygritte were on the road again and his parents still had Bran and Rickon to look after. He’d texted Heather thinking it was a long shot, they hadn’t seen each other since right after the accident, and Robb had been so doped on medication he didn’t remember any of it. To his surprise she’d agreed, but he’d beaten her here.
He rubs his eyes and is about to stand up and start pacing when the door to the NICU opens again. He looks over his shoulder and forces a small smile.
“Hey,” He mutters. “Thanks for coming.”
