Disclaimer: I wish I could own Game of Thrones but I am not that lucky
Rhaegar Targaryen knew he had to tell Lyanna about her father and brother. Lord Rickard and Brandon Stark were killed on his father's orders. Rhaegar could curse his father and his actions. All the Stark's wanted was Lyanna back. Something he could understand but he loved her. He was stupid to think the Stark's would just let him taking her happen though and now two of them are dead. His father was truly mad.
It was his fault.
He couldn't blame Lyanna. No one could. She was still young but he was old enough to know better. He knew he shouldn't have run away with her but her beauty and charm had bested him. War was coming because of them. Eddard Stark will not sit quietly and now thanks to his father the entire North will rally behind Robert Baratheon.
Rhaegar would be leaving for war soon but he needed to tell her why first. Walking into their shared room he saw her pacing. He wondered if she knew already. She didn't look upset but just anxious.
"I have something to tell you." they both said at the same time. She laughed but he couldn't. If what he had to tell her was good then he would have. She looked overly nervous though and he knew she didn't know about her father and brother. There would be angry, hurt and perhaps crying but there was none of those things.
"You first love," he told her wanting to put off what he had to tell her.
"I have important news," she said smiling as she walked to him, "I'm not sure how you'll feel about it though." He smiled and pulled her into an embrace and she sighed.
"Whatever it is can't be that bad love." he told her. At least not as bad as what he had to tell her.
"Not bad at all," she said into his chest, "just unexpected." she drew lines on his chest with her figures, "we should go to bed." she said grabbing his hand pulling him toward the bed.
"Tell me please," he laughed at her attempts of putting off what she had to say. He pulled her back into his arms. She looked into his eyes before a light smile graced her lips.
"I'm with child," she said softly. His grip on her tightened softly as his thoughts came rushing to his mind.
A baby.
They were having a baby. He came here to tell her about her family just to learn they were having a baby. A small smiled began to form. He couldn't help himself even if his new was bad. He was going to have another child with the woman he loved.
"A baby," he finally managed to say out loud, "are you certain?" he asked.
"Yes," she whispered, "the maester confirmed it earlier today. Are you happy?" she asked. Instead of answering he pulled her close for a long kiss. He could almost forget what he had to tell her.
Almost.
He pulled away to look into her eyes and sighed. He wanted her to be happy now before the truth came out. He just hoped by the old gods and new she would forgive him. He would tell her tomorrow. Just one more day.
