I own nothing
Ser Jaime found Ser Davos on the battlements of Riverrun later that night. Ser Davos was looking up at the stairs. He was thinking of Shireen and what Melisandre could have talk Stannis into while he was gone. After the feast Ser, Davos walked outside in time to watch Raenera interact with her dragons. She was a good leader it was clear to see and intelligent. He wondered if he was on the wrong side for the first time. He did not the mumbo jumbo Melisandre spouted about The Lord of Light chosen one. But seeing Raenera made him question everything. He heard the story how the dragons were born from Smalljon Umber. She had won over so many including Ser Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister. When he was Martyn and Willem Lannister alive and well cared for. They were letting the boys be boys. Jaime coughed waking Ser Davos from his thoughts. Ser Davos turned and looked at Jaime.
"Her Grace asked me to give you this," Jaime said handing him a scroll.
"What does it say?" Ser Davos asked taking the scroll.
"I do not know. She just asked me to get it to you. I do as My Queen commands," Jaime replied like it was nothing.
Jaime turned to walk away. Ser Davos looked up to the stars one last time. A question plagued his mind.
"May I ask you a question Lord Lannister?" Ser Davos called out.
Jaime turned and looked at Ser Davos. He nodded his head. Not many people called him Lord Lannister it was always Kingslayer.
"If they are your children, you are on the opposing side now then they are why?" Ser Davos asked.
"Her Grace, Raenera, Raena has always been different special willing to look past people faults. She was quite close to Tyrion when she was nothing more than the bastard daughter of Lord Arryn. Or at least what the world thought she was. I took her as, as so many did, a naïve young girl. I realized it was all an act now." Jaime paused. He thought back on one of his conversation with Tyrion. The conversation was after a particularly nasty bout between Prince Joffrey and Raena. Joffery had skinned Raena pet cat before her very eyes. It was one of the few times that he every saw her fire like temper. It did not help matters that Tywin had also witness her temper, calling her a "demon child". "My brother told me a time or two that there was more to her then what met the eyes. His exact words were "she is playing us all." I was content to serve the Lannister's side until that fateful night. When her dragons were born, seeing her emerge from the flames unhurt by them with three baby dragons, long since gone from this world, is enough to make one question everything. It does something to a person. She inspired my devotion and loyalty. She gave me a chance when so many would never dream of it. After all, I killed her father," Jaime finished.
"You are loyal only to her," Ser Davos commented shocked.
"I serve and guard him because of her. If he dies she will never be the same. It is clear as the moon in the sky. She loves him with all of her and he loves her the same way. It is almost if they are part of the same whole. Like those Septon spouts off about in the marriage ceremony," Jaime said.
Ser Davos stared into the night sky watching the winking stars. He realized now if Stannis were to try to kill her, and if he actually succeeded in doing. If what Jaime said was true, which what he had seen of the pair it rang true. There would be not turning Robb to Stannis side.
"I bid you good night Ser Jaime. Keep them safe," Ser Davos said before Jaime turned to walk away.
"I will, safe travels," Jaime replied.
Ser Davos came to his room. The conversation with Jaime still echoed through his mind. He truly was a changed man. They story of Queen Raenera rising from a bastard in King's Landing to powerhouse Queen she was now was something very few would believe. It reminded him of his own rise to where he was now. It was clear to see the people devotion to her. He started to prepare for bed. Fist light would come too soon. He pulled the scroll out sitting on the bed. He unraveled it. His eyes went wide as he read.
"Ser Davos Seaworth, I figure you like to have my words to you in writing. So here they are. Lady Shireen will not come to any harm from by my hands or that of my husband or the men the serve us. If need be she will have the full protection of the crown. I understand better than anyone that we cannot choose our parents. I'm glad she has you. Such loyalty is hard to come by. Know this, if ever you feel the desire to serve me and my husband, know that we would welcome it with open arms.
Sincerely hopefully your friend, Queen Raenera Stark, First of her name, Queen in the North, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms; Protector of the realm.
Ser Davos looked at the letter for a long moment. He dreamed that she would take an interest in him.
Melisandre and Stannis stood in the war camp. Her eyes were locked on the fire. Stannis was going over war maps. He needed Robb's men to defeat the Lannisters. But he was not sure he wanted to deal with this dragon queen. Ser Davos should be at Riverrun by now. Melisandre came forward placing her hand on his back.
"What bothers you?"
"This treaty with this Young Wolf and the Dragon Queen"
"Then don't, you are the Lord of Lights chosen one. Kill her take her three dragons for they belong truly to the Lord of Light. Bring the Yong Wolf to heel. For the night is dark and full of terrors. And what does this little girl know of terrors."
Stannis looked once more at the maps. He knew she was right. He just needed to wait for Davos return. So he could cement his plans for the siege that was to come.
The next morning, Robb and Rae came from seeing Maester Davith and Maester Vyman chambers. Robb's hand rested on the swell of Rae's belly. A huge smile was plastered on his face. Raenera was in a state of shock with a smile on her face. She could not wrap her head around two babies in her stomach. But not only had Maester Davith confirmed it but Maester Vyman as well. There were two distinct heartbeats not including her own of course. Ser Tobas and Ser Torrhen and Ser Markas were the guarding them. Ser Tobas and Ser Torrhen were in the front. Ser Markas, who was one of the best swordsmen, was in the back. Jaime compared him to Ser Arthur Dayne who was the best swordsmen in all of Seven Kingdoms, before Robb's father bested him.
"I can't believe there two," Robb said in shock
"Neither can I. I am going to be huge towards the end," Rae replied.
"You grow more beautiful not huge. Our pups will be strong and healthy," Robb commented.
"I have no doubt about that, I love you," Rae commented.
"And I you," Robb said pausing as they came toward the main courtyard.
"I have to go meet with Septon Marthew. Seeing to any last minute details that need to be sorted out before tomorrow," Rae stated.
"No heavy lifting. Have Ser Tobias or Jaime do it. Seven hells woman even Tyrion can lift things but not you. I'll have them keep an eye on you if I have to." Robb ordered.
"I will I promise, you worry too much," Rae teased leaning up to kiss him softly.
"And you my dear don't worry enough," Robb retorted returning the kiss.
Robb wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him. They deepen the kiss. They pulled apart when the need for air overrode everything else. He kissed her again softly resting his forehead against hers. They locked eyes.
"I worry plenty. I worry about you when you off to battle, worry what will happen to me if you should fall in battle. I'm worried about being not good enough mother to them. I worry I will hurt them someway not meaning to after or before they are born. I worry that I will not be a good queen. I worry about so much, Robb, I cannot stop think of things that make me scared. But being with you and the little things that I can control are what keeps me grounded," Rae revealed with tears starting to well up in her eyes.
Robb looked deep into her eyes. He took a deep breath pulling her into a tight hug. He brought his head near her ear.
"Nothing is going to happen to me, my love. And the fact that you worry tells me you were born for this," Robb whispered.
Her hands tangled in his curls. She took comfort from his embrace. She pulled his head away from her shoulder. They lean in kissing each other one more time. Catelyn came out on her way to see Septon Marthew.
"Ah Raena there you are, I was looking for you."
"Morning Catelyn," Rae said.
Robb sighed kissing her forehead before he walked her other to his mother. Catelyn and Rae linked arms started to head towards the Sept.
"Keep an eye on her mother, she is carrying twins," Robworriedly.
"I will son," Catelyn said.
Later, Rae sat in the gardens of Riverrun. Something that Davos said did not well with her. It was the fact that Melisandre, this red woman, poisoned Stannis's mind. She was truly worried what would Stannis do. If he was a smart man and what she remembered about him he was he would side with them. But if this woman she never met had turned Stannis. Stannis would not give up the crown so easily. That was part of the reason she gave Jaime that letter to give to Ser Davos. She truly liked Ser Davos. Ser Markas was guarding her. He cracked a smile at her. Evalyne sat across from her. Evalyne was going little details for the wedding with her.
"I cannot help but realize that the Tyrell's are paying for all of this," Evalyne said waking Rae from her thoughts.
"They are paying it because they want to be on the crown's good side Evalyne. Not out of the goodness of their hearts. Lady Olenna had all but told me she wants Margaery's child to marry my child."
"But Margaery is not even married yet," Evalyne said shocked.
"It about a family position in the world that is all. She wants her family to be the ruling party. Why do you think they married Margaery to Lord Renly? We both know he was more attracted to Lord Loras."
"Will you do that to your son?" Evalyne asked curiously.
"I hope to have him marry your daughter," Rae said truthfully part revealing her plans.
"But I not married with no prospects for marriage," Evalyne countered.
"Ser Jaime," Rae laughed.
Evalyne blushed looking down. She was deeply attracted to Ser Jaime. But she knew her father would never agree. She looked up at Rae with a smile. They shared a smile as they looked over numbers.
"That will never happen," Evalyne started.
"It may. I can be quite persuasive when I want to be," Rae laughed.
Ser Howar and Ser Hectar approach the girls. Behind was a young girl. She stood maybe five foot three inches tall. She had dark brown hair with honey brown eyes. Her head was bowed.
"Forgive the intrusion, Your Grace, Lady Evalyne," Ser Howar started his brown eyes looking at Rae.
"Allow us to introduce our younger sister Clarysse Bracken," Ser Hectar continued.
"A pleasure to meet you Lady Clarysse," Rae said
"Your Grace," Clarysse said softly.
"Forgive me Clarysse for a moment," Rae started. Clarysse nodded her head. She stood up causing Evalyne and Clarysse to bow as did Hectar and Howar. She linked arms with the two guards.
"Are you or are you not suppose to be guarding my husband?" Rae growled.
"We are your grace, Ser Jaime is with him at the moment," They said in unison.
Rae gave each of them a hard stare. Her lips were pursed. Hectar and Howar looked down for a moment.
"Our sister wanted to meet you and father asked us to ask you to let Claryssebemade one of your lady in waiting." Hectar said quickly.
Rae sighed nodding her head. She looked at each of them. She did not need another lady-in- waiting. But it was expected of her. She had no reason to not accept the young girl into her company.
"Fine, just don't leave my husband side when you are charged with guarding him," Rae reprimanded.
"Yes, Your Grace," They said in unison bowing to her quickly leaving her.
Rae walked back over to the small table were Evalyne and Clarysse were conversing. They looked up when she came over to the table. Rae sat gracefully down.
"Welcome to my company Lady Clarysse."
"You mean it, your Grace, " Clarysse said excitedly.
Rae could not help but to the smile at the excitement of her new lady-in-waiting. Evalyne also smiled at Clarysse. They all settle down for tea.
Robb and his lords were going over numbers for the upcoming siege. Edmure was looking at the map. Tyrion sat by one of the table's drinking out the goblet. Ser Jaime stood by the door.
"Walder Frey is a coward. If we surround him he will have no choice but to surrender Your Grace" Brynden "Blackfish" Tully commented.
Tyrion snorted at that comment. It caused Robb to look at Tyrion. Tyrion got up walking over to the pitcher of wine. He proceeded to pour himself a glass.
"He has my father protection. He will not surrender without a fight. He wants all of the Riverlands and Riverrun. Surrounded or not, we have the numbers to starve them out. That a good plan but what about all the women in that keep," Tyrion commented.
"How do you know," Edmure started.
"I drink and I know things, it what I do" Tyrion commented.
It caused Jaime to laugh. Robb looked at Tyrion for a long moment. Starving Walder Frey out was not high on his list of things he wanted to do. He knew he would be away from Rae for a long time as it as with the siege. Starving them out would take too much time. He wanted to win and be back in Rae's arms.
"What would you suggest Lord Tyrion," Robb asked.
It caused all the eyes of the other lords to go wide. Tyrion and Robb met eyes. They had their differences. He realized that Robb was starting to value in him. Tyrion started to come up with a plan in his mind.
Evalyne and Clarysse walk out the garden. They giggle and were talking as they walked. Rae sat by the water that ran through the gardens. She had her face in her hands trying to figure out her next move. A clearing of throat woke her from her mind. She looked up meeting the eyes of Prince Obyren. He had a letter in his hands.
"Your Grace, a beautiful woman like yourself should not look so upset," Obyren stated.
"I'm in a middle of war Prince Obyren how else am I suppose to be," Rae countered.
"You are winning said war" Obyren countered again.
Obyren and Rae stared at each other a long moment. She tilted her head at him. He was right. They were winning for now. But Rae knew how quickly the tide could change if she was not careful.
"I receive a Raven from my brother. Tyrion sent Myrcella to Sunspear to betrothed to Trystane, before he left King's Landing."
"Why are you telling me this?" Rae asked questioning his motives.
"The Lannister have hurt my family."
"You think to strike them by hurting Myrcella Baratheon."
"Myrcella Hill, your Grace"
"Myrcella Lannister if anything," Rae started. Rae's eyes stared hard into Prince Obyren eyes. Her lips were pursed. The iciness that could be in her eyes came to the forefront. Prince Obyren back up a step as he looked at her eyes. Her mind quickly worked out what Prince Doran plan. "You tell your brother if one hair is harmed on her head. I will take his head for treason. I will give you vengeance Tywin and The Mountain and Amory Lorch, who pulled Princess Rhaenys from out from under her father bed, will die slowly and painfully. Betray me and I will bring my fury on you." Rae said coldly.
Obyren could see it then the dragon that rested inside of her. So many claimed that Rhaegar was the last dragon but it clear as the sun in the sky that Raenera was a dragon. Calm intelligent but also deadly all rested behind her beautiful purple eyes. Obyren nodded his head leaving her with her thoughts. Rae let a sigh this was the last thing she needed right now.
