So, hi! I'm TheLadyClegane, and this is the first chapter of a longfic i intend to write for the next few months. I hope you really enjoy it, and comments and reviews are always welcome.

And, of course, I do not own any of this characters or the awesome universe of A Song of Ice and Fire. Those belong to George RR Martin. :)

The night was filled with screams.

In the room that Jaime used to share with his twin, the fire was slowly dying, and both kids were wide awake. One of the serving women had tried earlier to take Cersei to her new chambers on the other side of Casterly Rock, and put both children to bed, but as usual, Cersei had sent her away. She was quite mad about not being able to sleep with Jaime now as they always have, and Mother was very firm on the subject. But Lady Joanna was one thing, and the serving women another, and Cersei liked nothing better than playing the grown up. Jaime usually followed her, but now he was way to nervous to play along with her. Their mother had been screaming now for almost two days. They wouldn't allow them to go see her, and Cersei had heard the maester saying something was wrong with the birth. The baby wasn't due for another fortnight, and despite Mother's best efforts, it wouldn't come out.

"It may be mother is having twins again" Jaime suggested, anxious. "Don't be stupid" Cersei said angrily. The mere idea of another set of twins seemed to annoy her. "She had twins before, the Maester would have known if she was having two babies again" The girl took Jaime's hand and kissed him lightly. Their mother always kissed his Lord Father like that when he was under a lot of stress, and Cersei loved to pretend they were like them. "Father won't let anything happen to Mother, Jaime. It's just the stupid baby that won't come out." "I know, I just don't like hearing Mother screaming like that" Jaime said, uneasy. "Well, she shouldn't be screaming" declared Cersei "She's supposed to be a lioness, by birth and by marriage. And a lioness doesn't cry"

"How can you know? You haven't had a baby yet"

"I won't cry when I have a baby" insisted Cersei "I never cry." Another scream cut the air and Jaime covered his ears with his hands, and closed his eyes, until his mother stopped screaming.

His sister stared at him with an odd look in her jade eyes. "Wait a moment" she commanded, as she walked to the door. Jaime tried to follow her, thinking she might be leaving the room "I told you to wait! Sit over there" Jaime obeyed, and watched anxiously his sister opening the door and talking to their guards. "Go fetch a serving woman and tell her to bring us bread, butter and sweetened milk. And we need her to tend the fire as well"

"As you will, little lady" Cersei closed the door before the guard was done talking. "We are going to stay up until Mother is alright" Cersei declared. She sat by Jaime and held his hand again. "Father doesn't like when you cry. He won't be pleased with you."

"I don't want him to be pleased with me" Jaime threw back, wiping his tears "He hasn't even asked the septa to see us since he arrived from King's Landing"

"But when Mother is better, he will surely ask for us. And I don't like you crying. You look stupid."

"I'm not crying!" Jaime yelled at her, freeing himself from her hand. "Yes, you are! You should be like Father! He never cries at all!"

"Just shut up, Cersei!" Jaime said, pushing her off the chair. It drove him mad every time Cersei teased him. His twin stared at him from the myrish carpet, hissing like and angry cat. "I'm telling Mother, you stupid! She always says a man should never strike his lady!"

"Well, she also says a women should never talk back to their lord, and you do it anyway!" Cersei's green eyes shone with anger, pushing her blond curls over a shoulder "Won't you help me up?" she asked. Jaime offered a hand reluctantly, and Cersei stood up and sat again besides him. "You should apologize. I won't tell Mother if you apologize"

"Cersei, please!"

"I'm your lady, and you should apologize!" Jaime stared at her, wanting to push her of the chair again. He heard his mother screaming again and felt tears in his eyes. It was too much.

"I'm sorry I pushed you off the chair"

"My lady"

"My lady" he agreed, and Cersei took his hand again. She wiped his tears and gave him a clumsy kiss in the lips.

"I love you, Jaime. Mother will be alright." there was a knock on the door, and a maid came in with the milk and bread Cersei asked for. "Tend the fire, and leave us" Cersei commanded, standing up. "Yes, my lady" said the serving woman with a little bow. She poured two glasses of milk and knelt by hearth, followed by Cersei's shining eyes "Come, Jaime. Eat with me." He followed his twin through the room, and sat on the little table, facing her. The fire was dancing happily by then, and the maid left the room quietly.

"I never wanted another brother" said Cersei, buttering a piece of bread. She didn't even considered the possibility of a sister, and Jaime didn't mentioned either. Last time he did, Cersei had cried and refused to speak to Jaime until Mother made her. "Why would Mother and Father want another baby?" Jaime though for a few seconds. Before, the idea of having more brothers and sisters to play with made him happy, but now that Mother was in pain, he wasn't so sure he wanted a brother anymore. He found Cersei looking at him, waiting for his answer as she drank sweetened milk.

"Father says we need to continue our legacy." tried Jaime "To continue a legacy, you need children"

"Well, I don't need anyone else. You'll be Lord of the Rock after Father, and I will be your lady."

"No, you won't" blurted Jaime before he could stop himself, remembering what mother had said to him after the maid had seen Jaime and Cersei playing at kissing "I'll be the Lord of Casterly Rock, and my household will be ruled my wife, and you'll marry some lord and go live in his castle. You cannot be my lady" As soon as he was done talking, Jaime knew he had made a mistake. Cersei's eyes shined with anger, and quick as a cat she threw her glass of milk to Jaime. He ducked on time, so the glass wouldn't hit his head, but the milk splashed all over his hair and face. Cersei started laughing, as Jaime felt with anger the milk dripping from his golden hair. His twin's laugher made him even angrier, and without thinking he threw himself at Cersei, landing on the wet carpet. Cersei tried to push him off her kicking, as Jaime grabbed her wrist to stop her from hitting him in the chest. Cersei kept teasing and laughing, freeing his hands and pulling Jaime's face to hers to kiss him. Jaime tried to turn his face but Cersei started tickling him and soon they were breathless with laugher and holding each other, now both dripping milk in the carpet, as Cersei gave him a kiss, and another, and another, and another.

"Don't you ever said that again, Jaime" said Cersei after a few minutes, holding his hand. "You are mine, and I'm always going to be your lady." Jaime nodded, squeezing her hand.

"I won't hit you or push you again. I promise" Cersei turned on her side and hugged Jaime. "I know you won't" said Cersei, yawning. "I love you, Jaime"

"I love you too, Cersei" replayed Jaime, feeling his sister's fingers running through his hair, the way his Mother's always did.

There goes the first chapter. I hope you liked it, as it turned out to be more difficult than I expected to write a POV of young Jaime, and his relationship with Cersei, so, don't be so harsh with me. If you find some grammar mistakes please please let me know. English isn't my first language and sometimes I don't realize a mispelled word or a poorly structured sentence until someone points it out. Also, if someone is willing to help me by being Beta reader of my fanfic, I'd be really thankful. Thank you for reading! Comments and reviews are always welcome!

Love, The Lady Clegane
