hello, it's me again!! (sorry if I'm sending to many requests) could you make a potion brewing for robb preparing to became a father?? reader is pregnant and it's like 3/4 months in it already and Robb is getting things ready for the baby while also taking care of his wife ofc
sorry again if I'm sending too many I just really love your writing and this 1K celebration thing is really fun ❤
you’re all good, thank you for requesting!! starks won/robb is the lord of winterfell AU
• robb would definitely pay attention to a lot of the more intricate details when it comes to preparing for the babe. you’re more focused on how the room will be prepared during the birth (aka which servants, what towels, what furs on the bed etc) and the birth itself, and while robb would definitely help you in that aspect too, he’s more focused on the smaller details most may not think about.
• meeting with the master at arms about if a boy, when they’ll begin training, the master of horse about riding, septa/septons about schooling etc.
• you gave him the honor of choosing the room they’ll reside in once they start growing/unlatch, and he takes great pride in that as well. would commission a small tapestry with the direwolf sigil to wrap the babe in/hang in their room
• when presenting the babe to his men/winterfell/its people, you can best believe that babe is wrapped in the tapestry
• would also put a lot of importance on security. positioning the most guards in the hall of the birthing room, and doubling them all around winterfell itself. you’ll be at your most vulnerable, and he & the entire castles focus will be on you and the babe, and robb knows this. he’s a foot battle strategist, and this would be an opportune moment for someone to attack — so he makes sure that’s taken care of. as soon as you begin your labors, he needs only nod at his commander of guards, and winterfell is on lockdown.
• praying. he would spend a lot of time in the godswood, kneeling to speak to the gods or his father (assuming ned has passed). praying for your easy labors and that you make it through the birth without hiccup, praying to be guided through fatherhood, and (secretly) praying that the babe has your eyes <3
• and he speaks about your birth plan so many times you’ve begun to get sick of hearing about it. he will be alerted when you start your labors, and if you want him with you, it shall be so. you’ll have an army of midwives, maesters, and your usual ladies in waiting. the ladies in waiting will prepare the room, maesters their medicines and herbs, and midwives will be attuned to your every move. you will have your every wish and desire, and naught is to be done regarding you and your babe without your command.
