Sansa woke up, seeing her sister still asleep beside her, she slowly sat up and rubbed her forehead. She still was having a hard time wrapping her mind around everything that had happened. She looked down at her sister as she slept, she looked so innocent in her sleep but Sansa knew Arya had seen as much horror as she herself had seen. And she knew Arya had spilled more blood than a girl of her age should have, or any girl should have for that matter.

"Little bird?" Sandor had poked his head inside the carriage to see if she was awake.

She held her finger to her lips to keep him quiet as she looked down at Arya. Quickly grabbing her cloak she climbed out of the carriage to walk with him. She looked around at the soldiers who seemed to stop and watch her for a moment. "We should arrive to Casterly Rock soon, I will write to King Tommen when we arrive." She sighed looking down for a moment, "the group of soldiers that you were supposed to be with, what happened to them?"

"You mean did I kill them?" He laughed a bit, "No little bird, I did not kill them. Your sister and I snuck off in the night, we did not harm anyone."

"They will probably report back to the King about your escape, I will let him know in my letter that you are with me. I will find something to say so that it doesn't sound as if you were going against his word."

Sandor chuckled a bit, "still the good little bird, aren't you?" He grinned at the look he shot her. "You are a Lady, you speak as one."

"Speaking of which, I need to speak with the lady." Jaime approached them with a grin on his lips. He slowly bowed to Sansa, "we have news on your husband's murder."

Sandor moved to put his hand on the hilt of his sword as he watched Jaime closely. He remained close to Sansa, not wanting to leave her alone with him.

"Hound, a pleasure as always." Jaime grinned looking at him a moment. He then looked to Sansa, "we found the man who killed him."

Sansa looked at him and nodded, "where is he now?"

"We have him in chains in my father's tent, do you wish to see him?" Jaime tilted his head, looking at Sansa with a grin.

Sansa looked up to Sandor then to Jaime and nodded, "it's my duty as his wife. I will see him and question him."

Jaime nodded, turning to lead the way, knowing that Sandor wouldn't just let her go alone. When they entered the tent, there was a man lying unconscious in the middle of the floor. The blood covering his body showed that he had been beaten.

"What happened to him?" Sansa moved to him looking over to Jaime.

"He ran, then put up a fight." Jaime looked to Sandor, "he's lucky to be alive." He then walked to the man kicking him in the side to wake him up. "Wake up traitor."

The man groaned out and slowly sat up, his eyes were so swollen it was almost impossible for him to open his eyes. Sansa knelt down to face him, her eyes showing pity on the man. "Did you really kill Lord Tywin?"

The man groaned out a bit in pain, coughing as he spoke. "Ye…yes my lady."

Sansa turned to Jaime, "give me some water for him." She held out her hand until Jaime handed her a skin of water. She helped the man drink it before talking to him more. "Why did you kill him?"

The man looked at Jaime a moment, then back to Sansa. His voice trembling when he spoke, "he… he killed my family. We were from the north, we want revenge." He then coughed a bit more before looking at her, "I did it for you."

Sansa sighed a bit before standing to her feet. She looked to Sandor then to Jaime and nodded. "He will come back to Casterly Rock with us. There are dungeons there, right?"

Jaime nodded, "of course there are, we will keep him there until we hear back from the King."

Sansa nodded then turned, "I need to check on Arya." She then quickly hurried from the tent.

….

"So you think Jaime did it?" Arya looked up at Sandor as they rode on their horses. "Did you tell Sansa?"

Sandor shook his head, "no, and you will not say anything about it." He looked behind them, Jaime had insisted he ride beside Sansa's carriage as they made their final ride to Casterly Rock. He then looked back at Arya, "He wants Sansa, and he had to get rid of his father. The baby inside of her is another obstacle for him. He may try to slip her moon tea, to try and kill the baby." He looked back at Jaime again then to Arya. "You will need to stay as close to her as you can."

Arya nodded, "I may hate Tywin and all the Lannisters for doing this to her. But I know she will love that baby no matter what." She looked to Sandor, "I won't let the Kingslayer kill that child."

…..

"My lady…" Jaime had poked his head into the carriage, "we're arriving if you wanted to ride with me to see your new home."

Sansa looked at him a moment then nodded, she figured as Lady of the Rock she should see it first-hand. "Keep your hands to yourself."

Jaime grinned as he helped Sansa from the carriage and up onto his horse. He moved his arms around her to hold the reins of the horse. Grinning when he saw Sandor cast a glance back at the two of them. "Look my lady, your home."

Sansa looked up in awe at the massive structure before her. The castle had been carved into the side of a mountain overlooking the harbor of Lannisport and the Sunset Sea. The castle itself was easily twice the size of the Winterfell castle, Sansa wondered if she would ever be able to learn her way around the place. As they approached the main gates Sansa could not hold back a small gasp, the gates were literally a large lion with its mouth wide open. They slowly rode through the lion's mouth, her eyes moving over every detail of the gates, amazed on how it was carved.

"Amazing, isn't it?" Jaime leaned down and whispered close to her ear. "And it is all yours now my lady."

Sansa nodded, hardly noticing how Jaime had moved his arms closer around her waist. He looked up at the Rock, he hadn't been to his home in a very long time. It felt good to him to be back, and soon it would be his again, thanks to the very woman who sat in his grasp currently.

Once they were through the gates they came into a large courtyard where the servants were waiting for their arrival. The soldiers filed into line as Jaime rode his horse to the main entrance. Jumping down he helped her from the horse and led her to an old man who waited for them. "Lady Sansa, this is Rocar, he manages the household here at Casterly Rock."

Rocar smiled, bowing before Sansa. "My Lady, I am so sorry to hear about Lord Tywin's death. We all here mourn for your loss."

Sansa nodded a bit, "thank you Rocar, it was heartbreaking to have my new husband killed while we travelled home." She looked to Jaime who remained by her side. She then sighed putting a hand to her stomach, "I am sorry, I am not feeling very well."

Jaime looked at her then to Rocar, "I shall escort the lady to her chambers while you help everyone get settled in. We have a prisoner who needs to be placed in the dungeons, and my father's body to be placed in the crypts next to my mother." He then offered his arm to Sansa who took it.

Arya quickly ran to Sansa's side, "I am going with her." She then took her sisters free hand. "I need to help her as well."

Jaime reluctantly nodded and led Sansa and Arya in, while Sandor watched them until they disappeared. He then approached Rocar, "I will need someone to show me around so I can better protect the Lady." He then looked up at the massive structure, hoping he wouldn't fail his little bird.

'King Tommen,

I write you with a heavy heart, my beloved husband, your grandfather, was murdered on the road to Casterly Rock. We have the confessed killer in our custody and he is now sitting in the dungeons awaiting justice. As well, we have discovered that I carry Lord Tywin's child inside of me. With Tywin's death I am unsure what you wish for me to do next. I will await your reply here where I will take over my Lord Husband's duties until I am further instructed.

Also, my sister had fled from the group of men she and Sandor travelled with, she found her way to me, Sandor close behind her. She said she could not part from me so soon and I felt I could not send her away. Sandor has given me his word to be my sworn shield as Ser Jaime will be assisting me in the duties of House Lannister. Please do not be angry with my younger sister, as she is not ready to part from the only family she has left.

You're Loving Servant
Lady Sansa Lannister'

Tommen read over the letter that had arrived for him, his eyes full of tears as he read about the death of his grandfather. He then looked to his small council, "it seems we have some decisions to make."
