Tyrion 2

So the Stark boy has managed to get to our gates said Tyrion's father.

Unfornatly yes said Uncle Kevan Jon Stark is waiting outside the gates of the Rock and Lannisport waiting for us to meet him in open battle.

I must give the boy credit he is braver then his brother but that bastard will suffer for that.

Really father? Unless you and Uncle Kevan failed to realize that he might win this thing after all. You two have been so far in pampering Joffrey's ass and trying to keep him on the throne you failed realize we can't win now. Tyrion looked at his father and uncle. Tywin still had his iron look on and his uncle's face was red with anger.

Have you forgotten that your cousins and your brother are hostages and nothing has been done to help them on your part?

Don't go there uncle I been trying to get your sons and Jamie out for a while, but all attempts have been futile. The only good thing that has come out of this mess is the fact that Bran Stark has disappeared gods know where leaving a baby as heir to the north.

Don't forget Catelyn Stark defected to our side and got the High Septon to declare the bastard a heretic and usurper.

Will both of you shut up the fuck up!

Tyrion looked at his father and was stunned.

If Jon Stark takes the Rock then it is a loss we must suffer but we will not lose the throne.

So you plan leading the counterattack or will it be me brother?

No it will be Tyrion.

You can't be serious.

I am you are married to his sister he will not hurt you if you lose. Kevan please leave me and my son alone.

After his uncle left Tyrion felt intense pressure in his chest.

You know how you got your name?

No never ponder me at all.

I named you after your grandfather my uncle Tyrion.

Why did you do that?

Because from what I first saw from Jamie was no leadership talent or any of my traits. So when I heard your mother was pregnant a second time I prayed for the first time in years for the son that was to thrust the Lannister name in eternal glory. When the time came for you to be born I had already thought of naming you after me. But then your mother died giving life to you an imp. When I first saw you I thought of killing you right on the spot and preventing you from dishonoring the Lannister name.

What stop you?

Your mother she said no Tywin no give him to me. She held you in her arms this is the son you dreamed for he will be great and all shall bow to him. My little lion oh Tyrion I love you so much. She then told me to kiss her and tell her how much I loved her. She held you and said no matter what people say or do to you Tyrion know that your mother loves you and will watch over. She died believing in you being the heir to me and Lannister. So whenever I say the things I say or do to you it was my anger of losing her.

What is this?

My apology as he saw Tywin with an iron look on his face with small tears coming down his face.

I need you to lead half our forces into the West and stop the Stark boy. When you do this I will resign my position as Lord Paramount of the West and you will inherit it. I wrote to Balon Greyjoy and offer him control of the North and a million gold dragons to help you in the battle and he accepted. I will stay here and plan the defense of the city. Now go and make your mother proud
