I tried something different with this chapter. The words in Italics are the Dothraki language. Let me know what you think since it just sounded weird explaining what Dany was saying without actually saying it. Anyway enjoy the chapter. I added most of it on my own and hope you enjoy it.

"So this is what you do during your lessons with Ser Jorah." Dany teased as she Watched Thomas move through basic maneuvers.

"It's a lot harder than it looks, I promise you." Thomas's rushed voice brought a smile to her face as he tried even harder to concentrate.

"It's a very sharp stick." Dany pointed out. "Please don't hurt yourself."

"Dany I said you could watch me practice but it's very hard to concentrate if you keep talking." Thomas groaned.

"If you can't concentrate when one person is talking to you then you won't do well on the battlefield." Jorah stated as he approached.

"I don't know how you knights do it." Thomas sighed as he threw the practice stick on the ground.

"You are thinking too much." Jorah instructed. "You have been training for months so stop thinking about the maneuvers and let your body do them."

"How do I do that?" Thomas snapped.

"Clear your mind boy. Let nothing come to your mind and your muscles will do the work." Jorah nodded for him to continue. "Close your eyes and let everything flow away." Thomas closed his eyes and made his mind go blank. He nodded when he was ready. "Now strike!" Jorah yelled.

Dany sat there mesmerized as Thomas moved through all his strikes with relative ease. It was a stark contrast to his earlier performance. "He truly has come a long way." Dany muttered under her breath.

"He still has far to go, but yes, he has come far." Jorah stated, looking upon his pupil with pride. "You have come far too Daenerys." Jorah looked at her only to see her eyes upon Thomas. He frowned slightly at that but quickly hid it from view.

After a few more minutes of watching him practice on his own Jorah pickup his own stick. "Come now boy. Fight me just like you did now." He took his stance and could see the fear in Thomas's eyes. "Don't worry, you will do fine."

"You can do it Thomas!" Dany shouted as she smiled his way. Thomas blushed but nodded as he too took his stance. Taking a deep breath he focused on nothing else but the fight at hand. Suddenly Jorah lunged at him and so the dual began.

"You did very well Thomas." Dany nudged his shoulder as they made their way towards her hut.

He winced as she hit a particularly bad bruise. "Careful Dany." Thomas rubbed it a bit to sooth the pain. "It still hurts."

"Oh did I hurt the big strong knight?" Dany teased prompting him to playfully shove her.

"Heh." Thomas chuckled a bit.

"What is it?" Dany peered at him curious as to why he chuckled.

"I missed doing this." When he saw her raised eyebrow he motioned between them. "You and I talking. Nothing else, no responsibilities no danger. I miss just spending time together." He sent her a small smile which she returned.

"I did too Tom, I did too." She then leaned against him for a few minutes until they entered her hut. "You know I don't think I properly showed you my eggs." Dany pointed out as she saw her three eggs in their chest.

"I have seen them Dany." Thomas looked at the eggs.

"But you have never held one."

"Only their mother may hold them." Dany smiled at him before picking up the green egg and carefully handing it to Thomas. "Here, be careful with it." Dany watched him closely as he cradled the egg as if it were a baby.

"Heh, it's heavier than I thought it would be." Thomas muttered as he brought it closer to his head.

"I wondered the same thing when I first held them." Dany sighed. "If only they weren't stone then we could use them to take back the Iron throne."

"These would have made it easier for sure." Thomas nodded. "I wonder how many other petrified eggs remain in the world." Dany and he were both soon lost in thought at the prospect of finding more eggs.

"Khaleesi." They both jumped as the new voice called. When they turned they saw one of her hand maidens looking at them. "The ceremony is about to begin." Dany nodded towards her and began heading towards the door.

"Ceremony?" Thomas questioned.

"It's some type of ritual that I must complete in order to have a safe pregnancy." Dany answered. "I will have to eat a raw horse heart and not throw it up for the ceremony to be complete." Thomas looked disgusted while Dany shrugged. "Not my first choice for supper but beggars can't be choosers. Will you come and watch?" She hoped he would say yes. In truth she was worried she wouldn't be able to complete it or mess it up somehow.

"I will be there, let me just make sure the eggs are all set." Thomas nodded while Dany rushed off. "Here you go little one." He laid down the egg carefully and left.

*at ritual*

"What's happening?" Thomas asked as he walked in behind Ser Jorah and Viserys.

"Khaleesi has eaten started eating the heart." Jorah stated as they watched her. "She has to eat the whole thing and keep it down for the ritual to be complete."

"I hope it wasn't my horse." Viserys stared, mesmerized as Dany ate the heart.

"She eventually looked towards the door and saw them watching her. Her eyes locked with Thomas who smiled and nodded for her. She nodded back before beginning again with renewed vigor.

"She is doing well." Thomas noticed what was left of the heart.

"She will never keep it down." Viserys stated with certainty.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Jorah continued watching.

Suddenly the main priestess started chanting while the others increased in volume. Thomas looked towards Khal Drogo and noticed the horse lord was staring at Dany. The intensity of his gave made sure that Dany never looked away from him again.

"Tell me what she is saying." Viserys ordered as he pointed towards the priestess.

"The prince is riding, I have heard their thunder of hooves, swift as the wind rises. His enemies will cower before him. Their wives will weep tears of blood. She is going to have a boy." Jorah finished translating and Viserys and Thomas were left speechless for a few seconds.

"That is a very ominous future for a child." Thomas finally spoke up.

"Is it?" Jorah questioned.

"A child raised on that belief will grow up with unrealistic expectations. He will be overconfident and his enemies will use that against him." Thomas pointed out. "it may take some time but the boy would fall due to his own machinations."

"You have wisdom Thomas Ward. More so then I originally gave you credit for." Jorah nodded in respect.

"Even so, the boy won't be a real Targaryen. He won't be a true dragon." Viserys shook his head. By this point Dany had just shoved the last piece of the heart into her mouth and was chewing. She groaned as her body fell forward. Her hands flew up to her mouth and the tent fell silent. Drogo perked up as Dany bent over holding her mouth shut.

"Come on Dany. You can do this." Thomas whispered. "You are a survivor." Viserys scoffed and glared back at him. Finally she gasped and her hand came to the floor. She took a few ragged breaths before slowly sitting up. When she finally sat up she swallowed the last bits and smiled at Drogo. The priestess began chanting again and Jorah translated.

"The stallion that mounts the world. The stallion is the Khal of Khals. She shall unite the people into one khalasar. All the people of the world will be as her."

Dany then stood and started speaking. "A prince rides inside me! And he shall be known as Rhaego!" Dany finished by staring at her husband. Everyone soon started chanting the name Rhaego.

"I'm guessing that is the boy's name?" Thomas asked having not understood what Dany said.

"Yes, she has named her son Rhaego." Jorah nodded in confirmation. They watched as Drogo stood and marched towards Daenerys.

"They love her." Viserys muttered. Jorah and Thomas nodded. When Drogo reached Dany he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up. Carrying her around in a circle, Dany's eyes rolled over her people and finally settled on Tom. He smiled at her, impressed that she ate the whole heart. She smiled back and continued to look over her people.

"She truly is a queen today." Jorah smiled.

"A true Khaleesi of the Dothraki." Thomas chimed in. He looked to his right and noticed Viserys had left. Jorah turned as well and looked around. "I will go make sure he stays out of trouble. Stay and make sure our Khaleesi is alight." Thomas left the tent. Doing so caused him to miss Dany's hurt expression as she saw her best friend leave before the end of the ceremony.

*At Dany's hut*

Thomas traced Viserys back to Dany's tent and what he saw infuriated him. There kneeling on the floor was Viserys, stuffing the eggs into a sack. A creak on the wooden floor cause Viserys to stiffen and reach for the blade on his belt. When he saw it was Thomas he snarled.

"I thought blades were illegal to carry here." Thomas crossed his arms with a raised brow.

"He pushed the sword back into the holster before turning fully. "It isn't my law. Why should I follow the law of savages anyway?"

"Those eggs don't belong to you." Thomas growled. "They belong to your sister."

"You don't get it do you?" Viserys chuckled. "Whatever is hers is also mine. What that also means, is you belong to me." Viserys sauntered up to him, a cocky smirk rested on his face.

"Once, yes I did belong to you and all her possessions as well." Thomas stepped closer as well. "Now she and I don't belong to you which means those eggs are hers."

"If I sell one of these eggs I will have enough to buy a ship. Two eggs, a ship and an army." Viserys growled.

"It seems you have taken all three." Thomas pointed out.

"I will need a very large army." Viserys smirked. "I am the last hope for a dynasty, Ward. The greatest Dynasty the world has ever seen has rested on my shoulders since I was five years old and nobody has ever given me what they gave to her in that tent. Never. Not a piece of it. How can I carry what I need to carry without it? Who can rule without wealth or power or fear or love?" Thomas remained silent as they stared each other down.

"I will give you one more chance to join me or I will cut you down and leave with the eggs anyway." Viserys growled. "Join me and I will make you my hand when I become king. Or would you prefer me to cut you open and leave you to die on this floor?" Viserys scoffed. "Look at you. Standing there thinking you're so high and mighty. Let me tell you something. You are nothing but a sacrifice. A sacrificial pawn to be discarded to that I may live. A bastard boy with no future. Step aside and I will make you a member of a great house. You shall no longer be the sacrificial pawn. I'll even let you fuck my sister. I don't care if you fuck her every day. Have fun. All you need to do is move." Viserys moved to push past him but Thomas pushed him back.

"Drop the eggs and I will let you go. I won't even tell Daenerys you tried to steal them." Thomas stated evenly.

"Look at you finally found your balls then?" Viserys chuckled darkly. "They won't save your life."

"I'm just the sacrificial pawn remember?" Thomas smirked. "Kill me and every Dothraki in this city will hunt you down like a dog. I am ready to die for her. Are you ready to die over three petrified eggs?" Thomas smirked in victory.

Viserys growled in frustration realizing he was in a corner. He dropped the sac and pushed past Thomas who didn't resist him this time. When he was gone Jorah walked in. Thomas picked up the sack and moved back towards the chest.

"That was very brave." Jorah watched as Tom carefully put the eggs back. "Foolish to put your life on the line, but brave none the less."

"I was terrified he would kill me. I don't know how I didn't crack." Thomas shuddered as he held the green egg. He ran his hands over it before placing it back in the chest next to the others. "I'm just glad he didn't notice how scared I was."

"Either way, you should be proud of yourself. You took a big step in growing up today. You stood up against your oppressor and won." Jorah clapped him on his shoulder. "Not many could say the same."

"It's all thanks to you and Daenerys. Without your training I wouldn't have the discipline to keep cool under pressure. Without Dany I wouldn't have the motivation to change and grow stronger."

"You both are lucky to have one another."

"Don't tell Dany what happened here ok?" Thomas asked Jorah.

"Why should I not?" Jorah shifted.

"I am a man of my word and I promised him Dany wouldn't find out." Thomas looked him in the eye. "It probably doesn't mean anything to him but it does to me." Jorah stared at him for a minute before nodding and leaving the hut.

Thomas sighed in relief and looked back towards the eggs. "Don't worry little ones. I won't let anything separate you from your mother. So long as I live, you and Dany shall be safe." With that said he exited the tent. What he failed to notice was Dany who was hiding behind the side of the hut. She had heard the final words said between Viserys and Thomas. As well as his encounter with Jorah.

"I promise you Thomas Ward, that I will protect you as well, so long as I live." She promised herself before entering her tent to check on her eggs
