(Highgarden)

"Why did you send him away Mother? You did not even listen to the full offer," Mace Tyrell questioned as his mother read a different letter.

"Because the King in the North has sent me a letter. Containing to an interesting offer," she grinned as her granddaughter and grandson-in-law entered, her grandson joined quickly.

"What offer Grandmother?" Margaery asked curious as the three sat, her father stuttered before a sharp glare was sent his way, making him sit.

"The King has offered something. As Shireen's offer remains with Rickon is still sealed I assume," Renly's nod made her smirk. "Now I have to ask, have you two slept together?" she pointed to her granddaughter and Renly.

"Mother-"

"Grandmother-"

"Lady Olenna," Renly, Margaery and Mace all were overrun by her hand being held up.

"Be honest," she ordered as the two paused, giving a small look to one another before Margaery swallowed.

"No, we haven't. I still remain a maid," she revealed as her father huffed in alarm.

"Now don't play the fool Mace, it does not become you," Oleenna scolded as her son grunted softly. "I know why. We won't go into detail about that. Now this Robb Stark has offered something in interest, dealing with his cousin, Robin Arryn," she offered the paper to the girl who read before offering it to Renly. He read through it before pausing, he looked to her for the moment and as they did that Mace tried to see the paper before his son stopped him and gave it to his grandmother. Seeing her give him a nod, he smiled and gave one right back.

"I'll do it," she smiled. As Olenna smirked, she enjoyed sticking it to the Lannsiters when she got the chance. She knew why Tywin wanted her as allies. She and the Riverlands were food sources, both cut off from the city and it'll fall into complete anarchy. If she does it right, all she has to do is sit back and watch it play out.

(Riverrun)

Robb woke to an empty bed as he felt the sun hit his face, a soft cooing though made him open his eyes as he looked to see his beautiful wife standing in front of the window as she swayed. He instantly assumed she had a baby, but her eyes remained on the sky as dragons soaring, slowly he stood and approached his nursing wife. And as some would say a wetnurse should be used, Rhaenyra refused, claiming only she would nurse her children. Robb held no qualms about it, his wife felt protective of their small babes who were now a week old. Elaena's eyes were blue like her father's while Eddard had a light lilac color, pale almost grey, both resembled him in more ways than her, but his great-uncle surmised that they'll bare her resemblance in looks aside from coloring. Grey Wind laid at the foot of the bassinet where the twins slept. She hummed a soft song as she swayed with her son who nursed while looking at her, he kissed her cheek while wrapping his arms around them both, he spied his daughter sleeping snuggled in furs and a blanket that Catelyn helped Valaena and Lynara finish. Melisandre had blessed the babies in her way before leaving with Ser Davos and wishing the pair the best of luck before they see one another again.

"Good morning husband," Rhaenyra quietly greeted as Robb smirked, kissing her temple.

"And a morning to you My Love," he whispered as she gave him a sweet kiss. Melisandre reassured Robb before she left that it would be possible by the time the twins were a month and a half maybe two before it was not painful for the queen to get back into bed. And while some would have felt angry for a woman saying that but Robb accepted it because of the fact that his wife pushed their two little bundles out of her body. But he also remembered Lynara spoke about how a woman's body needed to go back to it's normal state after the childbirth. He had asked Valaena, he questioned if it hurt afterwards. The lady had soothed her King about the body of women, that many changed fast, others could be slower, it all depended on the woman and how their health was given. Robb was more than willing to be patient for his wife to heal before they try again, and knowing his wife it would be when she was ready to become a 'whale' again as she referred to herself during the last few months of her pregnancy.

"He woke before Elaena," she whispered as he yawned and it was then they realized he had fallen asleep while feeding. Giggling softly she detached her son before allowing Robb to take him, moving carefully he settled the babe underneath the covers beside his twin who slept peacefully. He rewrapped his arms around her as she leaned back against him, he smirked while looking at them.

"So little," he spoke as she nodded.

"They didn't feel little," she muttered as he laughed against her head. Giving her a soft kiss to her temple she hummed before sighing. "I am so tired," she whispered as he laughed once more trying to keep quiet.

"Then come back to bed," he urged, wanting her to sleep more. Rhaenyra though just wanted to continue watching her babies, she adored them so much and would hold both close to her until they are grown.

Rhaenyra sat in her bed as she practiced her stitching, her infant children laid in their baskets nearby. Baela was tending to everything and drawn a bath for her queen, she had opted for tending to the queen with Sauna running in and out. "If I thought I was lazy beforehand, I was wrong. Right now, I have done nothing but ruin this stitch and sit here," the queen spoke as she flopped the circle down as her friend looked at it.

"You can fix this," Baela smiled as she softly as she sat alongside her, taking the needle. "And you are mothering your children, though many would say that is not a queen's job but a lady or a peasant woman's. But you will prove them wrong and raise loving, loyal and good children," she praised as Rhaenyra smiled softly.

"I was thinking about going out in a few days with the babes, they should be introduced to others," Rhaenyra spoke as Baela beamed.

"A fine choice," she agreed as Sauna came in with towels.

"How about a bath Your Grace?" Sauna smiled as Rhaenyra nodded.

"Yes, please," she carefully stood and with her girls' help disrobed, stepping carefully in she moaned as her muscles loosened in the heat. Baela rubbed her hands in the water before running her fingers through the tendrils of hair as Rhaenyra leaned against the wall of the tub.

"How is motherhood, Your Grace?" Sauna asked as Baela smiled softly.

"The breastfeeding is painful but you actually adjust to where it is no longer painful," she revealed as the two listened.

"Is it hard feeding twins?" Sauna questioned once more as she ran a sponge across her queen's shoulder and arms.

"The first few times you learn but can do it without a problem so long as you have help, like a maid or companion," Rhaenyra spoke as Sauna nodded. "Also when one wakes the other will instantly pop awake as well," she shuddered in fear as Baela giggled.

"Well I at least will be beside you," Baela reassured, she was not only blood to these babes but also could protect them, Robb had been happy to learn his babes settled easily with certain people. Their parents, grandmother, aunt and Baela could soothe them easily, the twins were always guarded by Ser Barristan and Gendry, who Rhaenyra requested be put as a guard when she'd seen his movements with a sword. His permission of course. He had been quite surprised when Robb had asked, both men's job was either to guard the Queen or the babes. Ser Barristan immediately offered, he was more experienced and enjoyed watching the babes. Robb, in secret, preferred the idea of an older knight watching his twins, he trusted the knight more and knew he'd die to protect them like their parents.

"We all will be," Sauna offered as Rhaenyra smiled. Once she finished Rhaenyra stood as Sauna offered her a cloth so she could dry herself while the maids readied her dress. The twins awoke cooing as Baela quickly entertained them while Sauna helped her dress, Ellaria personally helped alter her dresses so that she could nurse her children easier. Shrieks made the young mother look to see her dragons flying round before she requested the girls to help her prepare the children to go outside.

(King's Landing)

"We've lost the Stark girl? How did we lose the Stark girl?" Tywin asked angrily as Tyrion hid a small grin. The Sansa Stark had disappeared during the battle. They found a few men throats slit and two maids who claimed men broke into the housing section of the castle, their leader demanded answers and when he got them he threw them to his men.

"A small group of northern men broke into the castle. It appears they were sent to retrieve the young lady Sansa," Varys spoke. He was being cautious as the Lannisters, bar Tyrion, were like vipers ready to strike.

"Why was she so little guarded?" he asked angrily.

"Because she was not-"

"So important? How do you think we will get Jaime back?! We have no leverage over the Starks any longer. We started out with three Starks; your son chopped off one head and one took off, now I come back to find out that the only Stark we had left the one meant to marry Joffrey when the battling was over and she has vanished!" Tywin ranted as Cersei pursed her lips.

"I have word that the Targaryen girl birthed her children; a boy and a girl," Petyr Baelish suddenly spoke, it was getting harder and harder to get word from the northern forces. Oberyn's men seemed trained in silencing 'little birds' as Varys noted, so the few things they got they valued to tell the Queen or King.

"What?" Cersei hissed out angrily.

"It would appear that the King in the North has decided to return to the North to deal with the Ironborn raiding their shores," Varys offered quickly as Littlefinger glared.

"So it seems he has lost-"

"He knows we hold nothing of interest anymore. No father, no sisters, even his father's sword is gone," Tyrion spoke as they looked to him, his sister angrily when he cut her off, irritation in all but Varys who thought. "He was never after the throne, nor was his wife from what I've heard."

"How far can a little girl go?" Cersei asked with ease as though asking the weather.

"She has experienced hunters and killers with her, quite a bit as our men haven't found them yet," Tywin growled, he had been rebuffed by Olenna Tyrell who refused to let her son choose. He had been happy to hear Stannis died when he returned to Dragonstone, sustaining a heavy wound that his brother mourned. Renly had fortified Dragonstone, calling all his men and allies to him bar the Stark forces who remained in the riverlands, it is near impossible to invade Dragonstone unless you had a dragon but they did not. "What news of the dragons?" he asked as the men quieted.

"Nothing?" Cersei demanded, angrily. "You men have nothing?" she hissed before her father stopped her.

"Quiet," he ordered as she glared. "I know they're sizes are troubling-"

"Forgive me, My Lord, I implore you, but they're sizes are not as troubling as terrifying from what reports say of merchants who passed through. Many would spy their forms in clouds and hear them from Riverrun to the markets in Stone Hedge," Littlefinger spoke quickly as Tywin sighed, finally hearing something. "The Targaryen girl allows them to hunt for themselves and doesn't seem to stop them," he spoke as the man stopped him.

"Enough," he sighed. "When they leave and their forces slip away we will move in on those parts," he demanded as they looked nervous. "What about the Targaryen girl in the east?"

"Dragons as well, it seems that these two are destined to bring them back," Varys revealed as Cersei sighed. "She's sacked Qarth and did the same to Astapor. She has an army of 8,000 Unsullied," he spoke.

"We need to reign the King in," Tywin ordered sharply as Cersei looked to him.

"He is our King-"

"A poor excuse for one. We're the council and we control the city, we've lost both food sources from the Reach and Riverlands," he growled, Tyrion who had been listening smirked behind his hand. Robb did not have to do anything but sit and watch, the boy is doing fine work. "Lord Baelish, I need you to go East to the Braavosi bank, work out some details," he ordered as the man paused before nodding as Tywin sighed, trying to think.

(Riverrun)

Rhaenyra laughed as her daughter cooed, she held her while Baela held Eddard. The little boy slept in her arms as Robb watched with a small smile. His little girl held onto her mother's long braid that she had put over her left shoulder, the babe watched everything. Rhaenyra held her child while petting Grey Wind swiftly before regripping her daughter who felt the small nudge to her foot when the direwolf sniffed her as he did the same to Eddard. Baela knew exactly what her queen was doing, she was looking around and prepared in case something came out. The dragons liked doing that, scaring people.

Shrieking cut her thoughts off as Rhaella landed, thudding down more than before. And Rhaenyra knew, she had grown as the dragon towered over her mother, glaring down at her before lowering her growing head as she sniffed the bundle, growling a moment before the small babe turned to her at the sound, slowly turning so the child and dragon were eye-to-eye the female paused as her nose pressed to the child and a purr escaped as she inhaled the child's scent, one of her mother, her eyes that were once slits were now wide and huge as she looked to her mother. Still smelling the child as Rhaenys and Alysanne joined, smelling Eddard as Rhaenyra offered her hand to the dragon as she continued to purr.

Robb watched from the ramparts with his uncles and mother, she stared in shock as the dragons that were now twice the size of horses, inspected the children. The two younger dragons just purred as they smelled Eddard, Baela slowly removed one hand from the babe and softly stroked Alysanne who continued her purring as settled herself down in front of Baela and ended her inspection before lowering her head. Rhaenys turned to her mother as Rhaella retracted and smelled Eddard's air, satisfied she pushed off, flying away to hunt. Rhaenyra breathed relief happy that the girls accepted the babes as Rhaenys continued purring as she smelled Elaena.

"Have you and Robb talked about leaving?" Baela asked as she shifted Eddard differently. They walked back through the army as men spotted their new prince and princess and cooed at them, it was quite odd for the girls who realized many of these men had children of their own and no doubt knew how to entertain. Greatjon was the worse, he beamed and boomed around them as Elaena stared wide-eyed at the large man as Eddard looked all around, but neither whined when he held them, Smalljon was more gentler and calmer despite being bigger than his father. Ser Barristan had been teaching Gendry what was best for guarding and how to handle situations, the boy learned quickly. He told the old knight the dragons still terrified him, Ser Barristan told him he'd be an idiot to not be terrified of them. They terrified everyone.

"No, he wants the twins two be a bit older before we march off," Rhaenyra told as Baela nodded.

"Actually the King decided half the army would march further north, he and you will remain here until you are to leave," Greatjon revealed as he played with Elaena's hands. Rhaenyra was curious before realizing she'd been focusing on the babies more. "But all our destination is the same. Winterfell," he nodded as he gave her a strong hug before giving her, her baby back. He ushered his son off with him when a call for a meeting has been called.

"Is it true all the houses have been recalled to Winterfell?" Gendry asked as they walked through the camp outside.

"Yes, Robb told Bran to call everyone to protect them from the Ironborn," Rhaenyra told as Arya joined them.

"Winterfell cannot hold that many people," she argued.

"All the highborn will be within the castle while the rest fill out Winter Town," Rhaenyra revealed as Arya almost fought. "And you must factor in the loss of armies and highborn who are with us, you know our castle will fit everyone," she smirked.

"Let us return inside, avoid the little ones getting cold," Ser Barristan advised as they nodded and retreated before Rhaenyra thought of something. She hoped Sansa would be alright and make it alright.

XXXI

Over the next few weeks they adjusted the babies, by their month old mark Robb decided they were to march home.

"Do you think they will be okay?" she asked as she held Eddard in the tub with her, he was unbothered by the slight heat, she had made Robb put his hand in before allowing the baby to be put in. He rubbed her shoulder while she held the babe to her chest.

"Yes, they're strong," he grinned as she smiled. She sighed softly while leaning back, rubbing his back. "I'll need you to ride in the carriage with my mother and sister, for all your safety," he frowned as she looked up before nodding.

"Alright," she smiled making him laugh. "What?" Rhaenyra looked back at him.

"You agreed so easily," he didn't believe it.

"Not hard as I'm still a bit sore for a horse ride so the carriage sounds better," she smiled as he sighed.

"Should I call the maester?" he worried as she shook her head. "Love-"

"I'm fine," she insisted offering their son to him as he silenced himself before wrapping his son up. "I gave birth to twins Robb, I am going to be sore as they've all said. I will be fine, it's becoming dull soon, Ellaria told me that means we will be able to spend some time alone," she smiled as he narrowed his eyes.

"Don't change the subject," he ordered as she kissed him and stood making him look down before rejoining her gaze.

"I am not, I told you I felt pain but not as after when I gave birth," she smiled as he sighed while she approached, giving him another kiss.

"We leave tomorrow," he spoke as he kissed her. "Go, you've been stuck with them since their birth," he joked as she grinned. She had dressed in a simple dress and donned her cloak. She walked out as Ser Barristan perked up.

"Please Ser Barristan, I'll be fine. I'll be with Grey Wind," the direwolf approached as he looked to the smiling knight.

"Of course Your Grace, please be safe," he felt uncomfortable but knew the girl would be safe under the wolf and dragons who've been flying closer. Rhaenyra walked down as she took a walk alongside the wolf and river. Grey Wind nudged her hand a few times and huffed, he had an odd feeling from his mistress.

"It's alright boy," Rhaenyra reassured the direwolf who growled and danced around her. She continued walking as the singing of her dragons distracted her. She saw Rhaella laying there, she was crooning as her sisters flew around.

"Rhaella," she called out as the dragon turned to her, purring as she stretched out her neck. Rhaenyra came right up and started to run her hands down the scaly beck as she growled mixed purred, frills and scales moving as she pet and felt her dragon. As she ran a hand down the side of her neck the dragon chittered before moving to sit like a bird resting on their feet. When Rhaenyra backed up to see how she shifted she noticed how Rhaella's shoulder was on top of her foot. The dragon stared at her with her glowing eyes, a soft purr echoing out of her before a snarl broke her day dream. She turned to see him growling as Rhaella huffed at him, irritated it seemed. "Goodnight girl," she bid as she gave a final pet before joining Grey Wind in returning to the castle. "God boy," she praised making him wag his tail before she entered her chambers to see her husband soothing a fussy baby.

"He's hungry," Robb smirked as she chuckled and took him to feed. Softly undoing her strings she helped her son latch on as Robb watched, fascinated by the prospect of his wife and son bonding. He palmed his son's head softly while the baby held his mother's fingers, he eyed his mother before his gaze would flicker to his father before they'd flutter close content. Elaena whined softly as Robb turned and instantly picked her up as she settled, breathing softly as he chuckled. "My sweet girl," he whispered.

"Such beautiful babes," Rhaenyra whispered as she sat on the bed, keeping Eddard nestled to her breast.

"They are," he agreed. "They will be strong on the journey home," he reassured as she agreed. He pressed another kiss as she laid their son down before taking their daughter, Robb softly soothed his son as he fussed about being laid down. "Are you worried about the line of succession?" he asked as she frowned.

"No, it is however you set it," she was confused. Robb had decided something rather… bold to his wife.

"Your family tried this once and it did not work out well," he commented.

"My ancestor had, had children by two wives. The second was pushing for her son her be king not her step-daughter. But as these are both your children, it should not matter," Rhaenyra spoke knowing what he was worrying about. Everywhere only male could rule, but he didn't want that as it was destroying their lands.

"Tomorrow we ride home, there we will crown our daughter; Princess Elaena Stark, future Queen in the North and Riverlands," he spoke as Rhaenya smiled when he took her, holding her carefully as she looked around, wide-eyed.

"Quite possibly a future dragonrider if my blood passed into her," Rhaenyra grinned softly while Robb smiled.

"It did, they are your children," he reassured as she chuckled.

"Oh I know they're my children," she scoffed, making him laugh as he laid his daughter beside her twin.

(Daenerys)

Daenerys was beaming as she read her letter, Missandei was curious as she approached cautiously. "Your Grace?" she questioned.

"It's from my sister," she smiled, instantly offering the parchment to her handmaiden. The young woman was surprised she was offered to read it before smiling at seeing the beautiful language.

"Such beautiful handwriting, and elegant wording," she praised as she read. "She has had twins," she spoke in awe.

"Yes," Daenerys beamed, absolutely ecstatic about being an aunt. "A boy and a girl," she pet her dragons who appraoched her from the curiosity.

"She has named her daughter reigning Princess?" Missandei asked in question, not understand.

"In Westeros; the male heirs, first born sons or other sons, will become the Lords before any girls. Like my family for instance," she encouraged Missandei to sit for the explanation. "We reigned as Kings and Queens of the West for 300 years, if my brother Viserys had lived he would be next in line for the throne, he is my elder brother. But as she is my elder sister and no male living relatives she would be first in line, she not only passed it up but is also a queen in her own right. So the Iron Throne is mine," she explained. "The only kingdom that is not like that is Dorne, where the ruler is the eldest child, whether boy or girl. I believe my sister has taken up on that offer," Daenerys informed the girl who nodded and made sure to remember. "She has dragons of her own, bigger than mine. Rhaella, Rhaenys and Alysanne," she spoke with fondness as she stared at her dragons, they were bigger than goats now.

"I hope to meet her Your Grace," Missandei smiled as her queen agreed before Grey Worm entered.

"We have found a way in Your Grace," he spoke as she grinned.

"Wonderful," she spoke before joining the men in planning the attack.

(Riverrun)

Rhaenyra stared at her dragons during the night. Rhaella has been looking at her for a few hours before taking flight. She knew the girls would grow as they traveled back. She could not wait to see the boys' looks when they see the dragons once more. They were so little back then, so young but now they were large, large in size but attitude and appetite. Robb claimed it would not matter as they North held enough prey for them to hunt and grow, he also knew they preferred the cold against the humidity and heat.

"You are obsessing about them again," Robb spoke tiredly as he pressed a kiss to her temple, arms encircling her waist. "Your dreams are just dreams, Love," he reassured as she huffed.

"They have become more incessant," she spoke softly, both trying to prevent from waking the twins. They're sleeping as become off, one would sleep the other would wake and scream, effectively waking the other.

"Come sleep, my sweet wife," Robb pulled her as Grey Wind came to her licking her hand as she passed by him. He came and sat at the crib holding the babies as the pair laid down, Robb threw an arm over his wife so they could sleep. She turned and snuggled into him as he quickly dove off, the young queen though, her dreams were filled with fire and dragons destroying everything, of King's Landing burning. She only hoped it will never come to that, not when she had two little one's to care for. She groaned softly as she dreamed of a black dragon destroying a castle she remembered, but then she thought of the wall being burned by a blue dragon. Rhaenyra awoke once more with it still dark out but was no longer facing Robb and seemed to have moved away from him, sighing she rolled over before feeling wetness under her hand, eyes shooting up she saw Robb's throat slit and a man hovering over her as she screamed.

"Ah!" A shriek left the queen's throat a man was actually hovering over her when her eyes opened, Robb moved beside her grabbing his sword as Grey Wind attacked, viciously tearing the man's throat open as Robb pulled her away. Both went to their children who remained perfectly unharmed albit cranky from the screams and snarls going on as they took them from the bloody mess. The guards ran in alarmed a man had snuck past them as Grey Wind silenced him with a final twist of his head. The giant wolf turned and looked at Robb who sighed and shushed his daughter while Rhaenyra cuddled her son as others ran in, Ser Barristan, Catelyn, the maids, and Arya stood with alarm at the bloody room.

"What happened?" Arya demanded as she came closer.

"An assassin tried to kill us," Robb growled as he kissed his daughter's forehead, her wails broke the hearts of many as she continued while Eddard hiccuped, being soothed faster than his twin.

"Come, let's move you tow another room so you can get the proper sleep," Catelyn ordered wanting her son and daughter-in-law to sleep. "I can care for the twins, I have their spare cribs in my chambers," she spoke as Rhaenyra nodded. Arya claimed she wished to sleep in her mother's chambers with the babies. As they were moved Edmure got his people to work as the couple settled in their temporary bed.

"The Lannisters will never stop," Rhaenyra sighed softly, exhausted.

"We will stop them once we take care of the Ironborn," he swore as she smiled softly. He kissed her cheek as he pulled her to lay down. "Go to sleep, Love," he urged, knowing it might be harder with the attack. But he didn't see her dream, her nightmare of Robb being killed terrified her.

"I love you Robb," she whispered as he smiled.

"And I love you Rhaenyra, my Dragon Queen," he grinned as she chuckled.

"Quiet my Young Wolf," she spoke hotly against him as he growled. "Goodnight," before she snuggled into his chest. Inhaling his scent as Robb cuddled her, happy that she was okay.

End of chapter! I hope it was good! Please leave reviews, I want to hear what you think!

10868letsgo: My favorite pairing types!

Crystal-Wolf-Guardian-967: Great, please enjoy!

RHatch89: Glad you liked it!

NicoleR85: I'm happy you enjoyed Arya, I think she'll enjoy the role of Princess except having to dress and act like it.

UnknownReaderHasJoined: I hope everyone enjoys the Frey outcome. Oh, that was a great scene of Daenerys and like Ser Jorah said when she proves strength, she'll have a true khalasar! And yes she cares for Rhae very much.

ej101: Yeah, I decided to yank Sansa out and completely screw King's Landing out of any hostages. And her saviors are northern men sent by her dragon queen. Now that baby Starks are here, they will be more interesting.

hateme101: Glad your enjoying it~

pfcvillanueva: Happy I brought up pleasant memories? I personally think all childbirths should be celebrated, especially back then. And I hope you enjoy what I have planned!

Jason Kreuger Myers: She and Robb rule as equals, not him over her. She's just pissed that her firstborn son was sacrificed in the mix. But she's already coming to terms that her mother-in-law isn't the enemy in that. But it's also the same for Rickon's marriage to Shireen that Catelyn's upset with too.

LunaDoesArt: Hey school is important (my mom used to take my laptop when I didn't do homework). Sad to say I've had they're names for quite the while XP

recey2010: Glad your enjoying it~

Nky (Guest): Here's the next chapter! I'm going as fast as I can~
