I own nothing
Thank you for all of your support.
Grey Worm and Missandei walked out of the room to make preparation for travel leaving; Yara, Ser Barristan, and Ser Jorah standing in the room alone.
"If this just a rouse for power I warn you that it will not end well for you," Ser Jorah said.
"I watched Raenera grow up into a young woman. I saw the beginnings of the Queen she was destined to be. I followed her orders to come here and find her sister never dreaming I would return to Westeros. I care deeply for that girl and have grown to care just as deeply for Daenerys," Ser Barristan said.
"I get it. Raenera is not the same child you knew. She is truly a Dragon but there is a kindness in her that I have never seen in a ruler. She is a mother not only of one child but three not to mention her dragons. She is capable of the vengefulness that Targaryen was known for but besides the Dragon Queen do you know what they call her," Yara asked.
Her eyes met Ser Barristan. Ser Jorah looked unimpressed no in his mind could measure up to Daenerys. It did not help matters that he was facing his own death if he returned. Raenera, if he was right, was married to Robb Stark. And if Robb was anything like his father he would call his execution.
"The People Queen," Yara said.
Rae and Robb were on their way back to the castle coming from praying for her brother's soul. Robb held her close to his body. Tears were still coursing down her face as they walked back. They did not have they had maybe one Kingsguard with them. Ser Markas Dayne walked not far behind them. Rae's eyes met that of small child huddled into the side of the building. She was mostly skin and bones. Rae paused in her walking back to the keep. She looked up at Robb then back to the child.
"Sweetheart it is the way with war," Robb said sadly.
"It shouldn't be," Rae said.
Rae nodded to Ser Markas to get a loaf of bread from the baker in the town. Robb walked over with Rae know there was no talking her out of this venture. He watched as the child huddled closer to the wall in fear. Rae dropped to her knees making herself smaller so she was less intimating to the child.
"Hello, I'm Rae what your name?" Rae asked softly.
"Jesmyn," the girl said.
"Jesmyn, where are your parents?" Rae asked.
"Dead, brother's gone now too I'm all alone," Jesmyn said.
Rae looked back at Robb with a mournful look on her face. She reached out taking Jesmyn from the ground holding her close to her. Robb took the bread from Ser Markas dropping down to his knees. He broke off a small piece of bread giving it to Jesmyn. He looked around them and more commoners came out of they all look nearly starved. Robb thought about the food that was no doubt that was waiting for them back at the keep.
"Ser Markas go the baker purchase all his remaining bread and bring back here," Robb ordered.
"Yes your Grace," Ser Markas said.
Rae started to feed Jesmyn on her lap. She told her stories of brave knights and fair maidens much like the children she used to read to in Flea Bottom. Rae ran her hand through the matted dirty hair Jesmyn had from living on the streets. Unknowingly they caught the attention of Brother Grahar a follower of High Sparrow. He watched as what looked like a guard brought back a large basket of bread. Robb and Ser Markas started to hand out bread to the starving people, as they did so many people muttered to them.
"Seven blessing to you," People muttered.
"And to you," Robb replied back falling back into his mother's teaching of the faith of Seven.
Brother Grahar watched as Raenera started to tell stories to the children that crowded around her. With Little Jesmyn on her lap uncaring of the dirt that was on the young girl clothes. A few of the guards approach them looking for them, but to their Queen sitting on the ground and King handing out food to the poor was a shocking sight.
"Your Graces, Your Mother Lady Catelyn calls for you, it seems that Princess Arya has gotten into a fight with a blacksmith," Ser Rolland Storm said.
Robb sighed shaking his head. Rae looked worried for a long moment. Her eyes met Robb's eyes. She wondered what would cause Arya to fight with Gendry. He was the only blacksmith that was in the keep with them.
"Also my Queen, Lady Evalyne is requesting your presence," Ser Rolland said.
Brother Grahar came forward offer to take Jesmyn from the Rae. Rae let her go with some hesitation. She met his eyes with a questioning look. He bowed his head slight to her. She caught his lack of shoes.
"I gave them to someone that needed them more," Brother Grahar said.
"I wish I could be so selfless," Rae said.
"Your Grace," Ser Markas said helping to her feet.
"Ser Markas, Ser Rolland the bounty of the food that was offered to our now diminished army is enough to feed us for how long?" Rae asked.
"A year or more my Queen," Ser Markas said.
"With the support of the Reach even longer," Ser Rolland said.
Robb came over to her wrapping his arm around her middle. He pulled her close kissing the top of her head. He knew what was going on in her head. It was more than they would ever need. It would be enough to feed these starving people of a time hopefully until they have won the war and could right the wrongs done to these people.
"Ser Rolland, Ser Markas bring some of the bounties of food to the Sept to be given to poor to help them for this troubling time," Robb ordered.
"It will be done your Grace," Ser Rolland and Ser Markas said at the same time.
Brother Grahar looked in complete shock. He had heard rumors that this Queen Raenera read and care for the people. He never dreamed that her husband could be just as kind. He was known to be a real wolf in battle. But she he also he imagined could be a real dragon. Dragon protected and cared for what they saw as theirs. So she saw all people as her people then she would care for them as they were her own. He knew one letter he would have to send later tonight.
Jon walked along the courtyard of the wall. He watched soldiers sparring with each other. The lack of coming battle weighed heavy on him. Ser Torrhen Karstark and Ser Tobas Bulwer along with Sam kept pace with him. Ser Torrhen and Ser Tobas were always near him since coming to the Wall. They watched and protected him like he was Robb. It in many ways did not sit well with Jon but who was he to argue with them they were just doing their jobs. After all, they would likely watch Benjen if he was not missing. Ghost trotted up to him nudging him with his head. It did not seem to bother Ser Torrhen or Ser Tobas. They had been close to Robb's and Rae's direwolves. The other Stark soldiers had a little bit a fear in their eyes as the large wolf move silently. Jon looked up catching a group of men talking. He never saw them talking before. It was odd. Allister Thorne was the main person that was talking. The other men of the Nightwatch that were once a supporter of the Targaryen family looked toward Jon with Stark bannermen.
"If he has his way I will be hanged," Jon said locking eyes with Thorne.
"There will be a vote for the new Lord Commander," Sam reassured.
"You are quite popular here Lord Stark," Ser Torrhen said.
Jon nodded his head but was still worried he head toward his chamber with Ghost. Sam headed toward Maester Aemon Ser Torrhen and Ser Tobas stand there. Their eyes locked with Allister Thorne's eyes. He had a look on his face that they could not read. He looked away from them back to Jaremy Rykker. He nodded his head turning to the rest of the Targaryen loyalist at the Wall. They all walked off leaving Allister Thorne standing there staring at the training men. Ser Torrhen regarded Allister Thorne. He could tell he was up to something he just did not have a clue what. Allister's hand went to his chin as he watched the men spar.
Rae came into Evalyne and Jaime chambers. She was eight moons into her pregnancy. She was having trouble moving around. Jaime was out with Tommen train with him. It was one of their father-son times. Evalyne had been having back aches all day long. She was lounging on the bed her dark hair was down not at all styled.
"You want to see me Evalyne," Rae said.
"Your Grace, Rae how did you do this?" Evalyne said.
Rae sat down on the bed. Achilles was lounging by the fireplace. He looked up when heard Rae's voice. She placed her hand on Evalyne belly. She felt one kick by her hand. Suddenly she felt another kick near her side. Rae looked at Evalyne eyes. She felt Evalyne's belly tighten in a contraction.
"There two of them," Rae muttered.
"I know I have been telling Jaime that for many moons but he does not want to believe it even possible," Evalyne said.
"He does not want a repeat of himself and Cersei I'm sure," Rae said.
Evalyne breathed through the pain she was feeling. Her maids were dismissed. Rae looked over toward the door where Ser Markas stood.
"Send for Vellella and Heiley, Lady Lannister is in labor," Rae ordered.
"At once Your Grace," Ser Markas said leaving the door.
Rae smiled at Evalyne. She understood the pain she was going through. Having just gone through it not many moons ago. She had taken to Tommen like a duck to water. And after some time Tommen came to love Evalyne and Jaime. Although, Tommen was still unsure what to call Jaime. He called Robert father for so long but Jaime had been more of a father to him in short time he knew he was his father than Robert ever was. Evalyne gave Rae smile.
"I tried to tell him that will not happen. For all, we know it could be two girls or two boys and if the Gods give us a boy and girl then we will be there for them not let them go down that road," Evalyne said.
Heiley and Vellella arrived quickly took charge of the room. They had the room closed off so no man could enter. They have Evalyne dress only in her chemise. Rae stood by her friend holding her hand.
Jaime was returning to the chambers he shared with Evalyne with Tommen by his side. He smiled down at Tommen. Tommen smiled up at Jaime. As they approach the room there was the sound of moans and scream of pain. Jaime's face went white hearing that it was like hearing his mother screams all over again.
"Uncle Jaime…" Tommen started. Tommen pulled on Jaime's hand. Tommen eyes were wide with fear. Jaime looked down at Tommen with the same fear filled eyes. "Papa what is going on," Tommen asked.
"Evalyne is giving birth," Jaime said.
"She will be alright, right? She will still love me now that she will have her own child right papa?" Tommen asked.
Jaime nodded his head he was in shock. He did not even notice that Tommen had called him Papa. Evalyne had to be alright. She had become his world in their time together. He was sure he would turn out like his father if anything happened to her. He loved Evalyne that much. The love that he bored for Evalyne made the love he thought he had for Cersei look like a drop in a bucket.
The High Sparrow had settled in the Sept of Baelor. He walked around the main chamber of the Sept. He looked at each statute of Faith of the Seven. He was looking at the statute of the Father and Mother thinking of Cersei words. One of the sparrows approached with a raven's letter.
"Brother Kase what can I do for you?" The High Sparrow asked.
"A Raven came from Brother Grahar," Brother Kase answered.
The High Sparrow took the letter. He looked to the statute of the mother as he read the word written on the letter. His eyes went wide. It seemed he had been lead astray but the Gods had seen it fit to place the right path in view to him now. It seemed this Young Wolf King and his Dragon Queen was pious. It was clear to Brother Grahar that this Queen Raenera was willing to hold a starving child in her arms feeding her like she was her own child. The High Sparrow had heard the people of Flea Bottom talk of the People Queen. Raenera was celebrated in Flea Bottom. And now it turned out her Northern Husband was just as kind and good. This could work in his favor. He knew Joffery was cruel and would let him get away with much. But as Cersei had said the faith and crown were the two pillars and if one crumbled so did the other. And if he could get Raenera and Robb to be on his side then he would be unstoppable. Brother Grahar words that Rae had said to him when her eyes question his lack of shoes reminded him of the Mother's love. They had the height of power while Targaryen first reign why should they not find it now in their new reign. He dropped the letter in the flames watch as the smoke dance around the statues of the Father and The Mother.
Rae cradled the one baby in her arms. The newborn little girl had dark hair so like her mother. Evalyne smiled at the other little girl in her arms. It reminded her so much of Jaime. The baby had soft golden curls on the top of her head.
"They are breathing taking," Rae said.
"Thank you can you send Jaime in please, Your Grace," Evalyne asked.
"If I am going to be her godmother, please call me Rae or Raenera," Rae said handing back the baby into her mother arms.
"Rae," Evalyne said smiled down at her babies.
Rae walked towards the door. Jaime sat outside the door. His hands were covering his face. He looked up when Rae exited the door. She had a huge smile on her face.
"Is she ?" Jaime asked.
"Evalyne is fine as are your daughters" Rae said.
"Daughters," Jaime asked in shock.
Rae noticed Tommen wide-eyed look on his little face. She smiled at him. He rose to his feet quicker taking Rae's hands.
"I have new sisters like Cella?" Tommen asked
"Yes, two of them, you have to be gentle with them like kittens," Rae told him.
"Will they like me," Tommen asked
"Of course they will like you how could not" Jaime answered for her snapping out of his shock. He placed his hand on Tommen back. "Would like to meet them?" Jaime asked.
Tommen nodded his head excitedly. Jaime and Tommen came into Evalyne's and Jaime's chambers. She was holding two little bundles in her arms. She looked at them so lovingly. She looked at them like they were the most precious things in the world. Tommen ran over climbing onto the bed. He looked at the little girls in his step mother's arms.
"Momma Evalyne what their names?" Tommen asked.
"Well if Jaime agrees, the one with dark hair will be Reyanna. And the one that has your blonde curls will be Joanna," Evalyne said lovingly to Tommen.
Tommen touch little Joanna hand she locked her little fingers around Tommen finger. He smiled at her with a huge smile on his face. He turned to look at his papa.
"They like me," Tommen said excitedly.
Jaime walked over kissing the top of Tommen head. Then he ruffled Tommen hair. Before, Jaime leaned down kissing Evalyne deeply. He was in awe of his wife and the willingness of her to name her children after his mother.
"What do you think?" Evalyne asked sleepily.
"I think we will have our hands filled," Jaime teased.
"Jaime," Evalyne scolded playfully.
"I think Reyanna and Joanna are wonderful names for our daughters. I sure they will grow in to be as beautiful as their mother," Jaime said.
Night had fallen at The Wall. Allister Thorne eyes met his eyes of his supporters in this endeavor. He nodded his head. They men spread out not long after that the sound of men dying reached everyone ears. More men came pouring out many of them meeting their own demise. Allister was after one man in particular. Janos Slynt he was the worst offender. Degrading Queen Raenera like she was nothing more base born whore daughter. He would pay for that.
Jon awoke the sound of swords meeting sword. Ghost eyes snapped to his masters. Jon pulled on his armor. He grabbed Long Claw heading out. Ghost followed behind him ready to take out anything that stood in his way. The sight the greeted Jon was not the wildling massacring the men of the Night Watch but the sight of, men of the Night Watch murdering fellow members of the night watch. Allister Thorne made his way toward Janos Slynt who was engaged in a battle with Jaremy. Jaremy body was thrown to the side as his body was impaled by Janos Slynt sword. Jon's eyes met the eyes of the follow Stark soldiers. Ser Torrhen and Ser Tobas were closest to Jon and Ghost. They looked towards him for orders.
"Stop this," Jon said.
Ser Torrhen nodded his head. He led the men stopping the men of the Nightwatch that were Targaryen supporters from murder men of the Nightwatch that support the Lannisters.
Jon ran forward as Allister met Janos sword in battle. Janos was shocked to see what he thought was his friend determined to kill him. Blood stained the snow cover ground. When Allister was about to make a killing blow long claw met Ser Allister sword.
"Get out of the way boy," Allister said.
"This will not help with Wildings," Jon tried to reason.
"He will pay for what he said about her," Allister said.
Janos was being pulled away with blood wound on his chest. He would survive if it was treated soon. Jon's and Allister's eyes met. Allister for split second could almost see the Targaryen fire in Jon's eyes. Ser Torrhen and Ser Tobas came forward.
"Lock him his chambers," Jon ordered.
Jon looked around at the devastation left of the Wall courtyard and he could only imagine in the beds. Any Lannister supporter at the wall was either dead or would die soon. Blood soaked the ground. Ollie looked at Allister being dragged away at the orders of Jon. He wondered what caused Jon to think he could do that to acting lord commander.
Robb and Rae lay in their bed. She was cuddled up to his bare chest. He held her close. He leaned down kissing the top of her head.
"So we have two more Lannisters," Robb joked.
"Little Reyanna and Joanna, you know Evalyne wants to name us their godparents," Rae said kissing his chest.
Robb looked down at Rae with a knowing look. He could see it in her eyes. She wanted to have one of Evalyne daughter married to Torrhen.
"What happen to let them be children," Robb teased.
"They will be children Robb. But even you have to admit that it would be a good match. Once we take the Iron Throne any that would oppose us will claim one of Cersei and Jaime children should be on the throne. But to have our son and heir married to a Lannister will show that…"Rae started.
She was silenced with a kiss. Robb deepened the kiss. His hands traveled down to cup her bum. Rae pulled away from his kiss. She looked at him.
"No betrothal until they are older and if he falls for one of them then fine. But no more of your schemes," Robb said.
Rae kissed him again. They were lost in the kiss when a pounding sounded at the door. Rae rolled off of Robb's chest. Robb threw on his robe walking toward the door. He turned back making sure that Rae was cover up. He turned opening the door.
"A letter your Grace," Ser Howar Bracken said.
Robb took the letter. He looked at the seal with was a crow. It came from the Wall. He walked over handing the letter to Rae knowing that it was likely from Maester Aemon. Rae broke the seal. She opened the letter as she read the letter her face went white. The letter dropped from her hands. Robb was instantly by her side as she looked faint. Robb held her with one hand when he took the letter from bed. The letter was stained with blood. It read.
"Your Grace, the Wall is now yours."
