One question that King Jon and Queen Daenerys would often receive when the other high lords and ladies came to visit was whether or not they would be able to produce heirs for the kingdom.

One day, Lord and Lady Tarly came to visit the castle, planning to stay for the fortnight. There would be a grand feast to honor the arrival of the esteemed guests.

The guests sat among the royal couple at the high table in the great hall. The Tarly vassals drank copious amounts of wine and danced among the men of the Night's Watch who stayed with Jon.

Amongst the din of the men, Lord Tarly asked Jon, "So, Your Grace, when will we be having some little ones to take the throne?"

Jon filled Lord Tarly's cup of wine and hastily replied, "We're trying, my Lord."

Tarly raised his glass to that and downed the wine in one greedy swallow. Jon spent the rest of the feast avoiding questions about children by filling people's cups of wine. He would have to speak to Daenerys about this as he had had enough of the harassment.

That night, as the two were preparing for bed, Jon asked Daenerys, "Daenerys, why do they always ask us that question?"

Daenerys, looking away from Jon, replied, "Because we have not produced an heir. Nobody will stop lest you fill my belly with your seed."

Jon ran his hands through his hair and complained, "We've tried so many different times in so many different positions! Why aren't we getting any progress?"

Daenerys wept uncontrollably and Jon asked, "What is it?"

Daenerys shook her head and replied, "When I tried to save my husband all these years ago, the witch who helped me took my son, and thus my fertility in return for my husband's life."

Jon pounded his fist against the wall and shouted, "SO YOU BOTHER TO TELL ME ABOUT THIS AFTER WE MARRY?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?!"

Daenerys wept and replied, "Because I love you! Perhaps I was wrong for doing so!" She gathered her skirts and ran from the room.

She sat amongst her dragons and wept. She knew she should have told him before marrying him, but she didn't. She was so caught up in everything that something as trivial as fertility was the last thing on her mind.

She heard a soft voice purr, "Princess that was promised, pray tell what has happened."

Daenerys looked up and saw Melisandre. She regretted letting anybody see her cry, much less her dearest friend.

She answered, "My husband wants to leave me, I'm sure of it."

Melisandre asked, "Why?"

Daenerys replied, "My womb's blood mage curse has left me infertile. We cannot rule without someone to inherit our throne."

Melisandre laughed, "This is why R'hollor led you to me. I can fix it."

Daenerys looked up and asked, "You can?"

Melisandre extended her hand and commanded, "Come with me."

The two ran through the halls of the dungeons to a place Melisandre called home. It was a dim dungeon lit by torches. On one side of the room was a tiny mattress, on the other was an ancient trunk. In the center lay a makeshift pit.

Melisandre threw one of the torches into the pit, and into the fire she threw different oils and spices. She shouted an ancient incantation to R'hollor made especially for women.

One last bit of oil and the fire hit the ceiling, and Melisandre commanded, "Go in."

Gingerly, Daenerys stepped into the fire, and Melisandre shouted the incantation again calling to R'hollor for his help. She carved the ancient symbol for woman around the fire and called out to him again.

Daenerys closed her eyes and let R'hollor heal her body. She whispered the words in the flames as Melisandre shouted them. She swore she could feel her womb being sewn back together by a thread of flame.

The moon came in through a window and its light joined the flames. Daenerys felt something between her legs as the fire died down as Melisandre started killing the flames. She felt what the substance was. It was blood.

Melisandre cheered, yelling, "It is your moon blood, my Queen! You are healed because R'hollor wanted it."

Daenerys wept with joy. Melisandre instructed her to go back to her chambers and lay with her husband for the week, and soon a child would catch in her womb.

Daenerys rushed upstairs to their bed chamber. Unfortunately, Jon was gone when she arrived. A folded note lay upon his pillow in the center of his crown.

It read: "I am beyond belief that you lied to me about your ability to bear children. I've returned to the Wall with my men, and I do not see myself returning."

Daenerys threw the note on the floor and howled in agony. She fixed the problem! She could bear children for him now! It was too late now, for he was gone.

She sat in his chair thinking about how to find him. The screams of one of her dragons distracted her from her thoughts, until she realized that her dragons were the solution.

She practically sprinted into their chamber and released Drogon from his chain. She snuck him outside and climbed on top of him and flew north. Jon couldn't be too far from King's landing so she still had time.

She looked down on the ground until she spotted his horse. She made Drogon land in front of him as a means of stalling him.

"JON! WE CAN FIX THIS!" pleaded Daenerys.

"Get your dragon out of my way," ordered Jon.

"MELISANDRE BROKE MY CURSE! WE CAN HAVE CHILDREN!" shouted Daenerys.

"YOU LIED TO ME DAENERYS!" growled Jon as he attempted to ride around the dragon.

Feeling as though there was nothing else she could do, she whispered, "Dracarys," causing Drogon to spit fire upon Jon and his horse. The horse burned away and died, but Jon remained.

"YOU LIED AND YOU KILLED MY FUCKING HORSE!" screamed Jon.

"A HORSE CAN BE REPLACED EASIER THAN A MARRIAGE CAN!" pleaded Daenerys.

"A HORSE DOESN'T LIE!" insisted Jon.

Daenerys grabbed Jon's face and begged, "I swear to all gods that I am deeply sorry for lying. I had forgotten about the curse, but it is fixed. I have had my moon's blood for the first time in a few years. I can now have children."

Jon nodded and held her in his strong arms. They hopped back onto Drogon and made a beeline to the Red Keep.

From then on, it was as if the flames had caught onto the marriage. Every night, the halls would echo with the ecstatic cries of the couple as they tried to make a child. Each night would end with them confirming to each other that they belonged to each other, and then falling asleep contentedly.

A few weeks after the argument, Daenerys woke up feeling dizzy. Missandei was about to clear her chamber pot when Daenerys ordered that she hand it over. She promptly vomited water into it.

Concerned, Missandei fetched cool mint water from the herbalist in the castle. She grabbed about a jug full of the liquid.

As Missandei walked back up to the bedchamber of the queen, Grey Worm caught up to her.

He whispered to her, "Why do you bring this to Daenerys Stormborn?" gesturing at the jug.

Missandei looked around and whispered in Valyrian, "I believe she is having morning sickness, meaning she is with child."

Shocked, Grey Worm replied, "Should I bring the Red Woman?"

Missandei nodded and continued on her way. She hurried along to Daenerys' bedchamber so it did not seem like she was gone a suspiciously long time.

"Your Grace, I have your water." She poured it into a glass, and handed it to Daenerys. She swallowed it in an instant and lay back down. Missandei fetched rags soaked in cold water and returned to the chamber to put them on her forehead.

"My Queen?" called Missandei as she entered the room. She found Daenerys leaning out of her bed vomiting so much that the chamber pot was overflowing. She got over to her, made her drink more water, and put the cool rags on her forehead.

Missandei cleaned up the mess and ordered a new chamber pot as Daenerys slept. After a while, Grey Worm approached the chamber, bringing Melisandre with him.

Missandei gently shook Daenerys until she woke up, gently calling, "Your Grace, Melisandre wants to visit you."

Daenerys woke up and Melisandre felt her forehead and felt her stomach. She looked into her eyes until she realized something and smiled.

"Your Grace, it has worked. You are with child!" exclaimed Melisandre. Daenerys smiled and silently thanked R'hollor. She ordered that someone find Jon and bring him to her.

A while later, Jon entered their bedchamber asking, "My Queen, are you alright?"

Daenerys took his hands and exclaimed, "Jon, I am with child!"

Jon smiled and ran from the chamber shouting, "We have an heir! We have an heir!" as Daenerys fell back asleep smiling.
