Intro: Sansa's baby is born

*****4 months later*****

Tyrion woke in the pre dawn hours to his wife's screams, scrambling from the bed he raced to the door that adjoined his and his wife's chambers. Entering he saw Sansa trying to sit up and saw the now 5 month old Scar clawing at the edge of the bed after waking to the screams. Making his way over he calms Scar, "easy boy it's ok, " Tyrion says soothingly as he runs his hand over the cub's head, he than climbed up on the bed

"Care…. Full… bed…wet" Sansa grit out.

"The baby's coming?" asked Tyrion.

Sansa just nodded and gripped the bed sheets, as another contraction hit, poor Tyrion felt lost, he didn't want to leave his wife but he needed to get Cannenta luckily he was saved by knocking on the door.

"Enter" says Tyrion.

Seconds later their family enters, "brother we heard Sansa scream is everything ok?" asked Jamie,

Tyrion smiled. "The cub is on his or her way I need to get Cannenta but did not wish to leave Sansa plus poor Scar is feeling stressed from the screams."

The family took action Myrcella left to get Cannenta while Jamie tried guiding his little brother from the room Margery stayed behind to assist Sansa until Cannenta arrived Tommen meanwhile walked over to Scar.

He knelt in front of the 5-month-old.

"Hey Scar I know you're worried for Aunt Sansa but everything is going to be OK we are soon going to have another cub in the pride someone you can help look after. But for now we need to leave Aunt Sansa but don't worry Margery is with her and she will be just fine" said Tommen.

Scar made a mewling sound, lifting the cub into his arms so that he could see Sansa. The woman grimaced and reaches out a hand, "be good for your cousin, Scar and I'll see you in a little while" she scratched him behind the ear and he happily licked her hand.

Tommen held the cub out so that Sansa could kiss his muzzle, before setting the cub down, "come on Scar lets go wait with uncle Jamie and uncle Tyrion" said Tommen motioning with his arm for the cub to follow as his wife wiped the sweat from their Aunt's forehead.

Just as Tommen opened the door to leave with Scar following behind, his sister entered with Sansa's healer and maids carrying bowls of water and cloth, he closed the door behind the women. Turning around he saw his uncle Tyrion and Jamie, his father just pats the empty chair next to him. Tommen walked over and sat in the chair Scar wandered over to Tyrion and lay down at his feet. A little while later Madra came walking down the hall.

"Tyrion dear how is she?" asked Madra.

"I do not know but what I do know is she could use your motherly precance right now," the older woman nodded and kissed Tyrion's forehead lovingly before Disappearing behind the door. For the remainder of the labor the men waited outside Sansa's chambers.

***12 hours later 5:20***

It was going on pre dusk when fours head shot up at the first cries of a new born, their heads shot to the door when it opened only to see maids carrying out blood soaked sheets. A shiver ran down Tyrion's spine Madra came out and saw the look on Tyrion's face.

"Be calm child your wife although weak and tired from her ordeal is alive and well" Tyrion's head shot up and saw Medra and smiled. "What of the babe?" asked Tyrion.

"Healthy and strong, you all may go in to see her now" said Medra. They stood and entered the chamber.

Entering they saw Sansa clean yet tired looking in the middle of the bed Margery on her left and Myrcella on her right. "you look stunning love" said Tyrion as he climbed onto the bed and sat himself between his wife and Margery who after a while stood up and went to greet her husband and sir Jamie.

"How are you darling?" asked Tyrion as he brushes some hair from her face and kissed her forehead, "tired" said Sansa placing her hand over her mouth and yawns, "understandable my love, and the babe a boy or girl?" asked Tyrion, I'm not to sure they are washing the babe now" Sansa informed her husband.

A few moments later Cannenta walked over and handed Sansa her baby, "here is your baby Lady Sansa a beautiful baby girl."Medra walked in and over to the couple where she showed Sansa how to hold the baby, Sansa smiled as she tucked the baby close to her than greets her nephew and brother in law along with her beloved cub Scar.

However the joyful moment was cut short when Sansa went to look at her baby she pulled back the cloths to look at her baby only for a turf of black hair to show and when they baby looked up at her she saw her eyes were close set and she had a feeling the color of her baby's eyes would be just as pale and ice like HIS yet the round head nose mouth and chin were Sansa though and though yet looking at her baby's eyes made Sansa shiver.

"Sansa darling are you cold?" asked Tyrion who looked over to get a good look at the babe, yet he knew why Sansa shiver for he saw the black turf of hair and the close set eyes they were HIS features.

Tyrion felt bile rise in his throat, the child is going to have questions when she grows up he thought they could have played it off that Tyrion was her father by birth if she had looked more like Sansa but the eyes and hair was a dead give away that the child was not fathered by Tyrion and that might raise questions with the servants of the rock.

Their family could tell that something was wrong but did not say anything instead they left quietly. Medra walked over to the couple and saw the child Sansa and Tyrion looked up at the kindly woman Sansa had tears in her eyes. "Medra I know what you might wish to ask but the proof is right here in front of you I am not the baby's father, my wife was…" Tyrion trailed off.

Medra could guess the rest and her heart broke for the pair and hugged them Sansa cried softly into the woman's chest as tears streamed down Tyrion's face, after some time she looked at Sansa.

"it is normally custom for noble babes to be nursed by a wet-nurse which is why I went looking for you I hope you do not mind and I found a woman who had agreed to be a wet nurse but I had asked her not to come until the baby's born I had sent for someone to bring her here and she has just arrived, yet the custom in the north would be different is it not?" asked Medra.

"it is" said Sansa, "My mother nursed myself and my brothers and Sister herself,"

"Well would you like me to show you how to nurse your babe?" asked Medra,

"I want to I do but I just I….. Sansa couldn't finish as she began crying again she turned and hid her face in the side of Tyrion's neck, Tyrion cupped the back of her head and kissed her temple.

Suddenly the baby began whimpering as Sansa's hands were shaking along with her body which woke the babe.

"Here dear allow me" said Medra. Sansa moved back and handed her daughter over to the older maid as Medra held the babe in her arms she looked back at the couple.

"Does she have a name"

Sansa and Tyrion looked at each other than Sansa looked at Medra.

"Her name is Nedra"

Medra nodded and went to leave when Tyrion called out to her.

"Just a moment Medra"

"Yes my Lord?" asked Medra as she turned back to the couple

Tyrion got off the bed and made his way over to her, "Can you hand me Nedra there is someone who needs to see her before you leave"

The Woman handed the babe back holding the babe in his arms Tyrion turned and called out "Scar come here boy come meet your sister it was than Medra saw the cub wander over, he sniffed her and nuzzled her Nedra made a cooing sound.

"I think she likes you, now she need to go with Medra for a while OK but Sansa could really use some company from her favorite cub"

Scar mewls and wonders over to the bed.

Tyrion than hands Nedra to Medra before walking back to his distressed wife, he heard the door close walking back to the bed he lifts Scar up onto the bed before climbing up himself. Scar walked over and nuzzled Sansa under the chin, the distressed woman wrapped her arms around her cub and cried Scar move up and began licking her face and wiping away her tears making Sansa and Tyrion smile.

Tyrion meanwhile wrapped his wife in his arms Sansa snuggled in her husband's embrace the couple sat in silence thinking of Nedra and their life as a family and the challengers they were going to face with their child in the years to come.
