"You're not like the rest of your rebellious family."

"Oh, I am, but I know how and when to play my cards. I'm a clever girl, just ask your children."

"It appears so. I remember hearing about you and how you were proclaiming your constant dislike of marriage especially to my son. I'm surprised." Tywin said.

"I find it quite odd as to why everyone seems surprised by my feelings and opinions towards your son," she questioned.

Tywin seemed amused yet he didn't. "He's strong, powerful, wealthy, one of the best fighters in the Seven Kingdoms, and he still has his youth. Any woman would never disagree to a valuable marriage like this."

"I'm not just 'any woman', Lord Tywin. I'm a protective sister, a compassionate friend, half of the time a lady, a loving daughter, the rebellious twin of Robb Stark, and now I'm going to be a horrible mother. So as you can see, I'm not just any woman," she told him calmly.

"How do you know if you're going to be a horrible mother if your child hasn't even been born yet?" Tywin inquired.

"Jaime told me."

He chuckled lowly. "My son doesn't know anything about being a father. I do and from what I've seen of the Starks, one thing they're good at is family."

She couldn't help the soft smile that came onto her face. "Why did Jaime take me away?"

"You're his wife."

"No, that's not it. I remember being knocked out in a place I can't remember. Why knock me out?"

"You're very curious."

"I'm a perceptive thinker."

"Curiosity killed the cat."

"I'm a wolf, not a cat. So I'll ask you again, why am I here?"

"You're a hostage. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"I wanted to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. So yes, it was. Excuse me, my dear father-in-law; I'm tired and hungry so I must leave. Good day."

Maya stood up and walked out of the tent. She made her way to the glittering river caused by the sun's setting. Her eyes followed the long river and she knew that they were close to Riverrun. She had a feeling that when the siege happened, Jaime would lock her away because of her secret identity. I am not going to sit in some stupid room or carriage or tent and watch as my mother's childhood home gets ruined. I have to think of something. If only my stomach was larger than I could easily fake labor. I sometimes wish I could time travel. Maya just stood there and watched the river travel to Riverrun.

"I'm sorry for what I said-"

"No, you're not. If you were then you would've said it once it came out of your mouth. Tyrion made you come out here. If I could then I would marry him instead of you." She told him.

Jaime whirled her around and crashed his lips onto hers. She basked in the taste of his lips on hers, the way he held her body close to his, how his hands gripped at the fabric of her dress, and when they started to take each other's clothes off. They laid on the ground as Jaime kissed her neck. Jaime removed his jacket and tunic as Maya pulled her dress from her shoulders then pulled down her small clothes to reveal her breasts. Jaime kissed each of her breasts then her hardened nipples.

Maya gripped his hair as he kissed the valley between her breasts. She pulled down his breeches once she was able to untie them. He spread her legs wide for him as he fitted himself comfortably in between them. Jaime pulled out his cock and her hand went around the length. She smiled breathlessly when she felt how hard he was. She cried out when Jaime thrust into her in one smooth movement. He slightly gasped at the satisfying feeling of her tightness around him. It was like he was home or something. Their foreheads touched as he started to grind his hips slowly into hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck when he buried his face into her neck, nibbling softly at her pulse.

Her legs tightened around his hips, her heels digging into the top of butt cheeks. She arched her back when he kept on hitting her spot, her largely growing breasts pushing into his chest. Jaime sat them up with her in his lap. He bent his head down and kissed her breasts again. Then he bent his head lower until his soft lips reached her belly. They stopped moving and Maya looked down at him. He kissed her belly and whispered something she could not make out nor hear of. After a moment of looking deep into each other's eyes did she start to move her hips around him. Eventually she started to move up and down his shaft, but he stopped her saying, "I don't want to hurt him."

She chuckled, "Are you so sure it's a boy?"

He nodded. "By the way you've been acting, it would appear so."

She shook her head and lay back down on the ground, taking him down with her.

Maya felt the wind on the sweat that coated her body, drying it up as she laid half of her body onto Jaime's. Her leg was over his thigh as her head laid on his chest under his chin. He stroked her hair and she played with his chest hair.

"I really am sorry for not telling you. Honestly, I was afraid."

"Afraid of me?" she chuckled.

"Of losing you." He lifted her chin her to look in her eyes. "I love you. More than anyone."

Maya bit her lip. "Uh…um, thanks."

Maya looked away from Jaime and closed her eyes in regret. Stupid! Why didn't I tell him?! Why can't I just say those little three words? It's so easy. Even he said them! She felt his hand stop stroking her hair and tightened on her shoulder a little. She abruptly sat up and slid her clothes back on. Just as she moved to stand, his hand caught her wrist. He propped himself on his elbows and licked his lips.

Jaime looked at her in the eyes and asked firmly yet there was a hint of hesitation in his voice, "Do you love me?"

She sighed. "I do."

"Then why won't you tell me?"

She wanted to look away, but her body and mind wouldn't let her be scared. "I've never said those three words to anyone…not even my own family."

"Why not?"

"I-I'm scared, Jaime." Maya felt tears in her eyes. "I'm scared that if I say that I love them then they'll just be taken away from me."

"The wall around your heart," he realized. "Why do you feel this way? Surely, you must know that they will die. People die."

"I know," she sniffled. "I'm only seventeen a-and I still need them. I can't think of my life without them…and now you. I'm sorry."

He pulled her into his chest and said, "You shoulder never apologize for that, Rose. Never."

Maya wrapped her arms around his waist and hoped that she could say she loved them.

"Don't siege it, Jaime. Please."

"I have to, Maya. I have no choice," he said as he put on his armor.

"No, you do have a choice. Chose to let this go."

"They took Tyrion-"

"He came back. They took half of my family. I say you both are pretty even right now."

"No, we're not," he snapped. "They have to know they're place."

"They?! I am apart of 'they', Jaime." She snapped back as they stood in the tent, she could hear the other getting ready for battle as well.

"You're no longer apart of them."

"Yes, I am."

"You're my wife, a Lannister now or have you already forgotten your vows?"

"We may be husband and wife, but remember this. I didn't choose to marry you. In fact, on our wedding day, I had this escape fantasy that felt as real as us talking right now. I escaped from everything and I felt relieved to be able to just forget. The only thing that topped me was my family. I would do anything for them. Even break my vows if need be." She softened as she grabbed his hand and held it in hers. "Please, I'm asking you as a loved one and a concerned daughter to not do this. Please, Jaime, stop this madness. This goddamn war can be stopped if you put aside your pride and make amends."

A rich laugh came out of Jaime's mouth. "You think we can make amends?!" He faced her with a stoned expression. "I fucking pushed their child off a tower because I was fucking my sister and you know what? After I pushed him, we still fucked…in a different place of course. So do you really think that they'll forgive me? Did you forgive me?"

"I'm still deciding that for myself," she seethed. "Just please, don't do this. It isn't right?"

"What's right anymore?"

"I don't know, but this definitely not. Fighting never solved anything." She argued.

"Anything won't get solved with or without violence." Jaime said as he walked out of the tent, his armor clanking as he left.

"What an idiot!" she said in frustration.
