*next morning*

Dany groaned as the sunlight filtered over her eyes. Her head felt like her army was marching on it and as she rolled over to hide her face into Tom's shoulder all she encountered were sheets. Scrunching her eyebrows confusion raked her mind as she tried to remember what happened last night to warrant his absence. She shot up in bed a moment later as she recalled the events. Grasping her head in pain she winced before frantically looking around. She sighed in relief and slight annoyance when she realized Thomas wasn't in the room with her. 'That kiss was amazing and after that, well I could certainly get used to that as well.' She giggled slightly. While they hadn't gone all the way due to her drunkenness and Tom's gentlemen like attitude they did have a very passionate kissing session. She happily remembered how she was able to maneuver him to the bed and rip his shirt off. The memory of his toned body brought another giggle and blush and she hugged the covers closer to herself. Slowly getting out of bed she went about getting ready for the day and hopefully time alone with Thomas to discuss her feelings. "I will confess my feelings and hope he accepts them." Dany vowed and was finishing up getting ready when she heard shouting outside her rooms. Sighing she tried to hurry up to stop the fight.

*outside*

"She is sleeping Jorah, you can't disturb her." Thomas stated as he blocked Jorah from Dany's room.

"I need to speak with her immediately, it's urgent." Jorah insisted, getting frustrated.

"She had a rough day yesterday I'm sure whatever you have for her can wait." Thomas crossed his arms. He stood before a fully armed Jorah in loose black pants and white shirt. He had woken up shortly before Dany and decided to take a quick walk to clear his head and decide how to go about today after last night.

"I'm sure she did have a rough night. Tell me did you enjoy taking her when she was vulnerable." Jorah accused as he glared down at his former student. He was shocked when he was thrown to the side by a punch.

"If you ever even think I would take advantage of her again I will kill you Jorah. DO you hear me? I will kill you. I love her more than anything Jorah and her safety and comfort come before anything else in my opinion." Thomas seethed with rage, hands balled up in fists as he glared down at Jorah who slowly regained his footing and rubbed his already bruising cheek.

"What is going on out here?" Dany asked as she exited her room. She looked at both men and quickly noticed Jorah's cheek and how both men radiated rage.

"Khaleesi I need to speak with you." Jorah stated.

"Very well." Dany Nodded and Motioned for them to enter her rooms. Proceeding to the council area where a circular table was set up she started the meeting. 'What did you need to talk to me about?"

"We need to deal with Yunkai Khaleesi. I fear if we dally too long they will march on our gates." Jorah answered evenly.

"I already have a solution." Dany waved his concern away. "I will Daario and his second son's to Yunkai to retake the city."

"With all due respect Khaleesi, once the invaders leave the masters will just retake the city again." Jorah shook his head.

"Then we will order them slaughtered. Hard to retake a city if you're dead." Thomas spoke up as he picked up an apple from a nearby stand.

"That is not the way we should do things." Jorah shook his head in frustration. "If Ned Stark did to me what you two are going to do to the masters would I have been able to help guide you Khaleesi? Or train you Ward?" Jorah pointed out and Thomas glared at him.

"Then I will send the man who petitioned for his father yesterday to stand as my ambassador to Yunkai." Dany started after a few moments. "He will tell the masters what has happened here and he will explain the choice they have before them. They can live in my new world or they can die in their old one." Jorah nodded his understanding as Dany stared up at him. "Go inform Daario of his new assignment and if he has any questions he can come see me." Jorah nodded before rushing off to do her bidding.

Thomas remained silent for a time simply eating his apple as Dany sat next to him. She fiddled with her hands as the silence continued to drag on. Thinking about what she could possibly say to the man she grew to love and cherish above all others brought a blush to her face. A small smile came to her face as memories of their kiss surfaced once again.

"I hope you had a pleasant sleep." Thomas finally spoke up when he could no longer stand the silence.

Dany looked at him before nodding her head slightly. "I had a very pleasant sleep last night. I hope you did as well."

"I did sleep better last night than I have many others." Thomas admitted. Another silence fell over them as they collected their thoughts.

"Dany."

"Thomas."

They both blushed as they realized they started at the same time. Both apologized and urged the other to go first before Thomas said a Queen had the first and last say of any conversation. Dany sighed as she collected her thoughts. Turning to him, she grasped his hand in hers and fiddled around with his fingers. Thomas blushed slightly at the action but opted to let her speak first.

"Thomas, we have known each other since we were babes, being taken care of by nannies." Dany began hoping she wouldn't mess this up. "Throughout our time together I have seen you grow from a timid boy to a strong and powerful warrior. But with all our journeys and trials you have continued to be the supportive, caring friend I have always known. You have stood beside me the longest and even at my darkest moments, where I treated you as poorly as a common slave, you stuck beside me. You helped me raise three dragons and have cared for them like a true father." Thomas blushed the whole time and gave her an encouraging smile when she faltered. "I was forced to wed Khal Drogo but grew to care for him but with you I have finally found the one I care for above all others. I would be nothing without you by my side and I would like it very much if you would stay by my side now and forever. Thomas Ward, I love you with all my heart. I don't care if you are a lowborn or a soldier. I am yours, now and forever." She brought their hands up and kissed them before looking at the floor embarrassed and waiting for his response.

Thomas at a loss for words, simply lifted her chin so they were looking into each other's eyes. Gazing into each other's eyes. Thomas smiled, and leaned in, giving her a tender kiss. Dany melted into his kiss and flung her arms around him. Thomas gently wrapped his own arms around her as they continued kissing. When they separated for air Thomas stroked her cheek.

"I am yours, now and forever Dany." Thomas pecked her lips. Dany smiled and kissed him again.

"I am yours and you are mine." Dany whispered as they held each other.

"Now and forever." Thomas finished.

The rest of the day went relatively well. Dany remained positively glowing the rest of the day and enjoyed teasing Thomas throughout the day whenever she got the chance. Thankfully she never saw Daario and knew that when she did they would have a very stern conversation. She soon pushed him out of her thoughts as the day ended and concocted a plan to surprise Thomas that night. That night Dany tackled Thomas into their bed and began kissing him.

"I have waited for this moment for so long." Dany mumbled between kisses.

"I love you Daenerys, I will do anything you ask." Thomas returned her affections with vigor as his building desire for his longtime friend and recent love was finally able to be unleashed.

"Then I want you to let me give you a night you will never forget." Dany ordered in a sultry voice as she sat up, straddling him, before unclasping her nightdress. Letting the fabric fall she allowed Thomas to view her breasts before ripping his shirt open. Grinding against him she smirked down at him. "I will give you all that I am." That was the last thing she said before she dove back in and finally became one with Thomas.

*next day*

"My queen, I have grave news." Ser Barristan announced as he walked into the throne room. Dany was currently sitting on the throne talking to Missandei while Thomas was out in the city.

"What is it Ser Barristan?" Dany asked with a pleasant smile. Instead of answering Barristan held out a piece of paper which Dany took. "What is this?" She asked.

"Open it your grace. I would also send for Thomas." Barristan recommended and Dany ordered two men to find him. Opening the letter her eyes widened in surprise.

"A royal pardon." She whispered.

"Signed by Robert Baratheon for Jorah Mormont." Barristan explained. "He was spying on you."

"When Thomas gets here go find Mormont." Dany ordered her two closest guards. "Missandei, go collect Grey Worm."

"At once your grace." Missandei bowed and left.

*an hour later*

Jorah walked into a silent throne room. Barristan and Grey Worm stood slightly below Dany who sat on her throne while Thomas stood directly on her right. Missandei stood slightly behind her. As he walked closer he saw the barely restrained rage and hate on Thomas's face while Barristan and Grey Worm gave no indication on how they felt. Dany barely even looked at him as he walked up the steps.

Getting halfway up the stairs Barristan and Grey Worm stepped forward. Jorah stopped and stood waiting for Dany to address him.

"Why did the Usurper pardon you?" Dany asked.

"If we could speak alone." Jorah asked hesitantly.

"You will never be alone with her again." Thomas growled out.

"Answer the question." Dany commanded.

"Who do you think sent that letter? Who do you think profits from this? This is the work of Tywin Lannister. He wants to divide us. If we are fighting each other then we are not fighting him." Jorah reasoned.

"The pardon was signed the year we met." Dany explained. "Why were you pardoned? Unless you're saying this document was forged."

"It is not forged." Jorah said, sweat ran down his forehead.

"Why then?" Dany asked, anger seeping into her voice.

"I send letters to Varys, the spymaster at kings landing."

"What was the contents of these letters?"

"Information."

"What kind of information Mormont?" Thomas snapped, growing impatient with the older man.

"When you and Viserys arrived in Pentos, when he planned to wed you to Khal Drogo, when you were married, when Viserys died." Jorah explained.

"You told him I was carrying Drogo's child?" Dany asked, eyes fixed on Jorah.

"I,"

"Yes or no."

"Khaleesi."

"Don't call me that." Dany quickly shut up all attempts to skirt the question. "Did you tell them I was carrying Drogo's child?"

"Yes." The answer came out barely a whisper.

Dany stood up and walked towards Jorah rage radiating off of her. "That wine Merchant tried to poison me because of your information. If it was for Thomas, who you trained and guided yourself, I would be dead."

"I would have stopped you from drinking his wine." Jorah argued.

"You were not around at the time." Dany pointed out. "Only Thomas was able to stop the man. You betrayed me form the first."

"Forgive me." Jorah pleaded as he fell to his knees. "I never meant, please Khaleesi."

Dany's eyes flickered down towards him before staring straight ahead. "You sold my secrets to the man who murdered my family and stole my brother's throne."

"I have protected you, fought for you killed for you."

"You want me to forgive you!" Their voices got louder as they tried to speak over each other.

"I have loved you."

"Love?" Dany released a laugh void of any emotion. "How can you say that to me?" Dany's face grimaced. "Any other man I would have you executed but I don't want you in my city, living or dead. Go back to your masters in kings landing and collect your pardon if you still can."

Jorah stood and moved closer and reached for her hand. Barristan and Grey Worm moved to grab weapons while Thomas pulled half his sword out before stopping when Dany raised a hand. "Daenerys, please." Jorah begged.

"Don't ever presume to touch me again or speak my name." Dany's eyes found Jorah's "you have until dusk to collect your things and leave this city. If you are found in Meereen past break of day I will throw your head into slavers bay." Dany spat out. "Get out, now." She hissed. Jorah bowed his head and left. When he was gone Dany turned and rushed out of the throne room. Thomas motioned for Missandei to follow her while he went after Jorah.

He caught up to the older man in the stables and motioned two nearby Dothraki to come to him. "Seize him." He ordered and Jorah barely had time to turn before the two men grabbed his arms and held him in place.

"What?' Jorah asked before a fist crashed into the side of his face. Blood splattered on the floor. When he looked back up he got hit on the other side of his face.

"You betrayed us!" Thomas yelled. He punched him directly in his face hearing a satisfying crunch. "You sold us out to those fucking traitors!" He kicked him in his balls and Jorah fell to his knees. Kneeing him in the face Thomas then walked back a few feet. The Dothraki let him go and he fell forward. "Get the fuck out of our city. Don't ever come back." Thomas spat on him before heading back to the pyramid.

Back in the pyramid he found Dany overlooking the city form the balcony right outside her sleeping quarters. Walking over to her he wrapped his arms around her and nestled his head on her shoulder. Dany grasped his arm and pulled him as close to her as she could. They stayed that way for quite some time before Thomas decided to talk.

"How are you feeling?" he asked as Dany leaned back into him.

"Angry, hurt, betrayed. One of the men I trusted most betrayed me all along." Dany shook her head. "You are the only person left who has my complete trust Thomas. Please don't ever leave me." Dany begged as her voice cracked. Thomas carefully turned her around and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

"I will never leave you, my beautiful Dragoness." Dany giggled despite her sour mood and brought him into a vicious hug.

After a few moments she broke away and cleared her throat. "We should get back to the Throne room. As much as I want the day off after what happened the people still need their queen." Thomas nodded his head and they proceeded back to the throne room.

*1 hour later*

Missandei was once again reciting all of Dany's titles as an old man stood waiting to speak. The day so far had proven to be a much better in terms of requests from her people and have done well to improve Dany's mood.

The man soon stepped forward and introduced himself and spoke the common tongue. "Before you freed me I belonged to Master MacDowell. I was tutor to his children. I taught them languages, history. They know a great deal about your family because of me." Dany smiled at the man as her horrid memories earlier melted away. "Little Kala is only 7 but she admires you very much."

"I hope I can prove worthy of her admiration." Dany blushed lightly as the man described the child.

"Maybe we can have her visit the pyramid to meet you, your grace." Thomas spoke up next to her.

"That is a lovely idea Thomas." Dany nodded enthusiastically before turning back to the man. "But what can I do for you?"

"When you took the city, the children begged me not to leave the house. But Master MacDowell and agreed that I must. So now I lost my home." Immediately Dany's good mood faded as the man explained his story. "Now I live on the streets."

"I have outfitted mess halls to feed all former slaves and barracks to shelter them." Dany pointed out.

"I do not mean to offend your grace but I visited one of these establishments. The young pray on the old and take what they want and beat us if we resist." The man argues back.

"My unsullied will make them safe again in short order my friend I promise you that." Dany interrupted the man.

"Even if they are safe who would I be there?" The man asked. "What purpose would I serve? With my master I was a teacher, I had the respect and love of his children."

"What is it that you want?" Dany asked. She felt for the man but was starting to wonder what he wished for.

"Your grace, I ask that you allow me to sell myself back into Master MacDowell's care."

"You want to return to a man who owned you? Like a goat or a chair?" Dany asked incredulously.

"Please, your grace." The man begged. "The young may rejoice in the new world you have built for them but for those of us who are too old to change, there is only fear and squalor. I am not alone there are many outside waiting to beg for the same thing." Dany sighed as she looked towards the ground.

"I did not take this city to preside over the injustice I fought to destroy. I took it to bring people freedom." Emotion rang through her words and the man looked sympathetic towards Dany's pain. "But freedom means, making your own choices. I will allow you to sign a contract with your former master but it may last no longer than a year."

"Thank you your grace." The man nodded his thanks before leaving.

"The masters will take advantage over this situation." Barristan whispered. "The men serving them will be slaves in all but name."

"It's the best we can do for now." Thomas muttered. "Eventually when the older generation dies out, there will be less need for this."

After Thomas finished speaking another man walked in shaking. He carried a small bundle in his arms and his face was stricken with grief. Tear tracks ran over his cheeks as he cradled the sack like a new born.

"Approach my friend." Dany sent him a smile. The man hesitated barely looking at her.

"I do not understand my Queen." He spoke to Missandei who nodded and started translating for him.

"I have brought you," Dany looked upon the grief stricken man with wariness as the man wept as he spoke. "He came from the sky." Thomas tensed immediately thinking of the dragons. "The black one. The winged shadow." The man knelt on the ground and laid out the sack carefully. "He came from the sky and," He undid the sack to reveal charred bones of a child. The man caressed the skull as he wept. "My girl, my lovely little girl." Missandei's voice was filled with sadness as Dany stared at the bones in horror and grief for the burned girl. The rest of the meeting past in a blur for everyone involved. After that particular meeting Dany retreated to her quarters with Thomas and Missandei.

"Who was she?" Dany asked.

"Zala, your grace. She was three years old." Missandei answered.

"Is there any word on Drogon?" Dany turned to Thomas.

"No, the most recent report had him flying past the black cliffs three days ago. Rhaegal and Viserion have been in the city and haven't left in a week. It appears he is the only one provoking the herders and other citizens." Thomas reported.

"Bring them to the catacombs." Dany ordered as she started towards the door.

Thomas caught her wrist, stopping her. "You aren't going to lock them in there are you?" He asked. Dany was surprised to see fear in his eye.

"I must before they hurt anyone else." Dany answered.

"But they haven't hurt anyone!" Thomas defended them. "They are good, Rhaegal is good!" Thomas shouted as a few tears came to his eyes. "I can't let you lock them up."

"I won't have another child's burned corpse brought before me." Dany too was crying now while she faced Thomas. "I can't control them anymore Thomas. Drogon was the only one who truly listened to me while Rhaegal followed you. Viserion does whatever his brothers do. If we can't control them like this then I need to lock them away where they can't hurt anyone."

"Please don't do this Dany, please don't put Rhaegal in the dark alone." Thomas fell to his knees and pleaded.

"I'm sorry Thomas, but a mother must do what she thinks is best for her children and a queen must do what is best for her people. I will not have them hunted down by an angry mob and I won't let them burn more children. They have to go into the catacombs." Dany pulled herself away from Thomas who let the tears run down his cheeks and rushed out of the room, her own tears soaking her cheeks.

Later when she entered her chambers to sleep she wasn't surprised when Thomas was missing. Putting her children in the catacombs was extremely painful for her but she knew Thomas was hurting as well. He truly cared for them like his own children just as she did. She hurt him today just as Jorah did to her and Thomas. As she laid in bed alone, she prayed that tomorrow would bring better news than this day.

So a lot happened in this chapter. I was going to end it after their confessions but I deemed it too short and While a lemon might have made it long enough, I would rather not try my first lemon in this story. Especially since my own sexual adventures aren't many. (practically none.) So if you were hoping for a lemon I may add one in the future or place it in another chapter. So that is a rap for season 4 and now onto season 5. The last season that will follow cannon as a whole. At least until season 7 comes out. That's right, season 6 will not follow cannon at all. (kind of) depends on perspective. Anyway I even added something into what I shall be doing in season six so when we get closer to that I will do a poll. Please leave a review with your thoughts on this chapter as I honestly don't know how I did. Hopefully it isn't too chaotic or too sappy. Also if anyone has any good cover art for the story please leave me a recommendation. I don't have photoshop and am a terrible artist so all help is appreciated. I love you all and have a wonderful day/night
