A.N. Thanks for reading and leaving reviews, here is the next chapter. Enjoy! :)

'… and this most recent attack on my daughter's life showed me more clearly what my duty is. What our duty is. We have to fight back. We need to be united against those who want to destroy us and take down this great country. Join me in this fight and let's tell the Sand Snakes together that they can't scare us. The Dornish men and women are the ones who should be afraid, because we are coming for them! They can't keep threatening our life, our children's life. Yesterday they came after mine, tomorrow they will come after yours. But not on my watch. I will burn their houses down before I let that happen. You still have a few hours to vote. You know I'm the right choice. Vote for me now. Thank you.'

The crowd burst out in loud cheering and clapping as soon as Cersei finished her last campaign speech.

'That went well.' Tyrion remarked with a confident smile as his sister stepped off the stage.

'Did it?' Cersei wasn't so sure. 'They are angry. That is… something I guess.' she sighed. 'What about Robb Stark? How did his last speech go?'

'The usual. Mild success.' Tyrion seemed satisfied. 'He was on and on about love and peace. Hardly efficient after someone tried to murder a little girl who also happens to be his opponent's kid. The whole country is on fire. They want blood.'

Cersei nodded in agreement.

Unfortunately, her other brother wasn't so enthusiastic.

'You worked them up against the Dornish people. You said you would only go after the radicals, but you make all of them look like criminals.' Jaime welcomed them with his outburst when they got back to their campaign headquarters.

'So I lied.' Cersei shrugged.

But her twin didn't let it go. 'You made a target of millions of innocent people.'

'Who cares. I will do a lot worse once I'm elected President.' Cersei said with ease.

'You're insane.' Jaime hissed angrily.

Cersei closed the door of her office behind them and sat on the huge sofa. Tyrion stayed downstairs with the staffers and lobbyists for some last minute campaigning so it was just the two of them.

'Jaime…' Cersei called him softly. 'You know I do it for us. For our family.'

Her brother shook his head in disbelief. 'You will get us all killed. You know they will come after the children.'

'They already did.' Cersei cried out angrily. 'And I was powerless to do anything. Now I have four armed guards to follow Tommen everywhere. He can't go to pee alone. And Myrcella… What could they possibly do to her now that they haven't already done?'

She lowered her head to make Jaime think she was about to cry. In fact, she had already cried all her tears, but her twin didn't know that. He let out a sigh and sat beside her on the sofa. They were sitting there quietly until Cersei broke the silence.

'I am… We are more vulnerable than ever. As President I will be able to protect all of us and get rid of our enemies.' she explained, almost whispered in a soft tone.

'Yeah, but…' Jaime protested, but his sister interrupted him.

'Do you remember what you promised me? You promised me that our family would be stronger than ever. That we would take everything that is ours and more. You said nothing would stop us. This was a prophecy too. And it's all coming true.'

'Just like the other.' Jaime snorted in disdain.

Cersei shook her head. 'I'm not so sure anymore. Jaime, there is something you should know…'

She didn't have a chance to tell because someone knocked on the door.

'What?' Cersei snapped at her assistant who had the nerve to bother them.

'You should get ready. The dinner with your donors will begin in an hour. You'll have ninety minutes with them, after that we'll all go to the conference room to wait for the first results.' the young woman said readily.

Her boss didn't appreciate her enthusiasm.

'I know that. I'll be down shortly You can go now.' Cersei dismissed her with a wave of her hand and rolled her eyes.

'You should be nicer to them.' Jaime remarked with a weary sigh. 'Friends can become enemies too easily.'

'That's why I keep you.' his sister gave him a faint smile before she left the room to go and get ready.'

Everything was in line with their expectations. The first results were more than promising.

'How is it going?' Cersei asked her brothers after she finished with the most boring dinner of her life and arrived at the hotel that they rented for her victory party.

'Still the same.' Tyrion tried to oppress a yawn. 'We have the Westerlands and the Reach, Robb Stark has won the North and Dorne.'

'What a surprise.' Jaime remarked in a sarcastic voice.

Cersei rolled her eyes. 'I wouldn't want the Dornish votes even if they begged me to take them.'

Her twin wanted to say something back, but Tyrion interrupted them. He just hung up the phone with one of his contacts and turned to them:

'Just came in. The young wolf won the Vale and the Riverlands. It will come down to Stormlands and the Capital.'

A moment later the News reporter confirmed the Lannister campaign manager's words and the whole room with its hundred of staffers got quiet.

'It's not a big deal. You don't have to hold your breath.' Cersei snapped at them.

In fact, it was kind of a big deal. The Vale had the largest military bases in the country. Both Jaime and Cersei spent a lot of time campaigning there. They relied strongly on the soldiers serving there to vote for them.

'If Robb gets one of the remaining two states, he is President.' Tyrion dragged his sister out of her thoughts. 'You'll need both to win.'

Jaime couldn't hold back a scornful chuckle.

'It looks like it's up to the Baratheon supporters now.' he remarked with a sneer and put his arms around his twin from behind.' If they love you just as much as you loved your dear husband, you can prepare your concession speech.'

'I don't have one.' Cersei pulled away from him with a frown.

'Maybe you won't need it.' Tyrion pointed at the large TV screen in front of them. 'You won Kings Landing.'

His sister let out a sigh of relief. She was only one step away from the greatest victory of her life.

And she won.

She became the first female President of the States of Westeros and suddenly everyone wanted a piece of her. It took an hour for her to get rid of everyone and be alone for a couple minutes. Her family and her supporters were all dancing in the great ballroom while she escaped to the unlit gallery and watched them, unseen, from above. At least, she thought she was unseen.

'There you are.' she heard her twin brother's voice from behind. 'How does it feel?'

She turned around to face him. 'It feels right. I finally got what I deserved.' she replied without hesitation.

Jaime quietly nodded. He probably expected a similar answer.

'I'm sorry I couldn't get you the Vale.' he finally said.

Cersei shrugged. 'It doesn't matter now.'

They remained silent for a moment, then Jaime stepped closer to her and whispered in her ear: 'Dance with me.'

Cersei burst out in laughter.

'You know I can't. Not since the surgery. My legs will never be the sa...' she tried to protest, but Jaime could be pretty convincing when he wanted to.

He put his arms around her and they slowly began to dance.

'So you promised me we would have everything once you are elected President.' he mumbled.

'What would you wish for?' his sister asked with a charming smile.

Jaime got straight to the chase. 'Your Marriage Equality Act. Were you serious about that?'

Cersei let out a soft chuckle. 'If you want me to…' Her brother didn't answer so she continued. 'But I didn't just promise everything. I also promised something more. And there is something more, Jaime. I'm pregnant.'

'What?' the shock was written all over his face. 'Are you sure?'

Cersei nodded. She gave her brother a long reassuring look, but he still couldn't believe it. He let go of her waist and slid his good hand over her belly.

'Who will you say is the father?' he gulped.

'You.' Cersei said with ease.

Jaime shook his head. 'People won't like that.' Seeing that his twin couldn't care less, he added in a worried voice. 'They will immediately impeach you.'

'They can try…' Cersei remarked, amused. 'Do you remember what Dad always says about people?'

'The lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.' Jaime quoted their father's unmistakable words. 'But…'

Cersei didn't let him finish. She put her arms around his neck and breathed into his ear: 'Marry me!'

Jaime was visibly taken aback by her demand, but he didn't hesitate for long before he pulled her into a passionate kiss.

Cersei closed her eyes and let the familiar warm sensation running through her whole body, being unaware of the thousand flashes capturing her biggest secret.
