I don't own Game of Thrones
Please keep reading and reviewing
Chapter 14
Cersei remembered taking care of Tyrion. Jon required a fair amount of her time. She cleaned after him and made sure that Ilsa fed him appropriately. Jon was not a picky eater. He ate greedily and was soon a big boy with rosy cheeks and black hair. He appeared to have Lyanna and Ned's grey eyes.
Cersei thought he was a cute looking baby. She played with him and looked at him for hours. He kicked his feet and giggled all the time.
Her father did not approve so Cersei threw herself into the baby. She carried him everywhere with her. She liked staying in the gardens with him. Jon would look around quietly. Cersei could tell that he was observing everything.
Her father called her to his solar about three weeks after Jon came to Casterly Rock.
"Robert Baratheon is dead and your husband sits on the throne." Her father said with a smirk.
Cersei tried to not reveal how much it pleased her to hear the news. Rhaegar's killer dead a fitting punishment. "How is Jaime?"
"I suspect he will be here soon enough. Your husband demands that you and his bastard travel to Casterly Rock. We will leave in two days." Her father continued. "Now, we have the issue of this child. You will send him away. He cannot be with you and Eddard. The bastard must be sent away.
Cersei nodded and left the room. She went into her quarters and looked at Jon. It made sense to send him away but Cersei found that she would not.
She looked at the baby and smiled. He was the last of Rhaegar. Her dashing Rhaegar, now dead. The woman remembered thinking of Rhaegar the other night. She cried herself to sleep. He hurt her even in death.
Cersei smiled at the sleeping baby, "we will figure something. Won't we little dragon?" She looked at him again and thought she could see a hint of violet in his eyes.
The next day found her near the kennels. She heard two of their workers speak.
"I heard it is her bastard child. They all know that she was deflowered in Harrenhall. The old lion is covering for her. Rae said she cares for the boy like a mama. That's no bastard child."
Another voice joined in, "she could not have been with child. Her figure didn't change."
"Did you see her? I expect you didn't, stranger things have happened. My sister carried twins and she barely put on weight. You wouldn't have known until she birthed them and then skinny as a twig." The first man said.
Cersei went to her quarters, Jon needed to eat. She found Ilsa waiting for them, "M'lady." She said. The woman's tits were full with milk. Cersei gave her the babe and looked for a golden necklace with rubies.
"Ilsa, how would you like this necklace?" Cersei asked her.
The girl frowned, "M'lady I could never own anything so beautiful."
Cersei smiled, "it's yours."
Ilsa frowned, "I cannot accept it. They would think I stole it."
Cersei frowned it was true. She then looked into her drawer and found a pouch of money. It was a sizable sum but less than the necklace.
"How about this?" She asked and showed Ilsa the golden dragons.
Ilsa smiled, "I could buy animals and my children would not go hungry anymore."
"This is what I will give you if you help me." Cersei said.
"Anything my lady." Ilsa said quickly.
"I need you to tell everyone that Jon is my child. You tell anyone who would listen that you saw me heavy with child and that I gave birth under the most secrecy." Cersei said.
"But m'lady you did not." The servant blinked.
Cersei frowned, "I did. you attended to me."
"M'lady, they wouldn't believe me. They would say I was spreading lies. Your lord father would have my head." Ilsa continued as Jon switched tits.
"We will leave for the capital tomorrow morning. You can go away. I would advise you to spend this money quickly. It is war time after all." Cersei said with a smile.
"Yes m'lady." Ilsa did not need more convincing after that.
She could hear her telling Rae the tale. "Were you with her Rae? All the time, what about the time after the little Lord left. She stayed in her room all the time and then there is a babe. Her milk dried up. That is no bastard child. Suppose Lord Tywin sent the babe away and then he came back because she was sick. Rae, you have to know, that is no bastard child. You know her, she only allowed the little Lord in her quarters. Not even Lord Jaime could be there."
Cersei smirked and went to sleep very easily. Jon would be hers to keep for a little bit more. Lysa saw her the following morning, her belly was big and she looked ugly. Her sister in law seemed to be in a world of her own. She was off talking to herself. Cersei ignored her. She did not care for Lysa at all.
Father rode ahead. Cersei entered the litter with the babe and off they were. She did not expect Ilsa to come with them. She was probably buying a goat or something. She made sure to stop at an inn and have Jon fed by a local woman.
They met Jaime halfway the Golden Road. He was fine, dirty but alive. She hugged him tight. "I am happy you are alive."
"I am happy too." Jaime said and greeted father next.
"Your family awaits you." He said when Jaime made to turn his horse and company.
"I daresay your wife may give birth sooner now that you will be home to take care of her. Godspeed." Father said and ended any discussions. Jaime nodded and rode to Casterly Rock.
Cersei knew that Ilsa would not be enough so she told every woman who fed Jon that he was her child, born before her wedding to Ned. She spoke of their love and how they could not wait. The women smiled at her, every single one of them. She felt elated when she saw the city again. Cersei did not think she would see it once again.
It was not the city she remembered, there was a trail of dead. People half naked, soldiers confused and children crying. It was horrible. Father appeared oblivious to all of it. They made their way to the Red keep and the throne room. Ned looked and his eyes lit up a bit. Father commandeered Ned away.
She found a Kingsguard, "Ser. Selmy." She knew him, he was younger than father but at least ten years older than her.
"My lady." He said with a frown.
"The babe and I need to find the King's quarters. He needs to be fed." The man looked away from her but led her to Rhaegar's private quarters. Cersei knew they were his, she tried to sneak in once and throw herself to the Prince.
The knight left her and Jon. She looked around and found a small dragon figure. She smiled and hid it under her dress. She would have something of his after all. Jon would learn about Rhaegar and have something of his father.
