Jon was standing in front of the gates of Castle Black and he just hoped that their plan worked. After Daenerys burned down the whole capital and many innocents he was ready to end it. He was ready to kill her if he has to, but when he asked her what happened she seemed so distracted and confused. She had no idea what she has done, and when he told her ... she broke down and started to cry. He was not able to kill her. When she raised her eyes at him, he saw that innocent and amazing woman who he fell in love with. It was not easy. Not even close to easy, but he convinced her to leave, because after what she has done, she has no place and no love there, in King's Landing. They agreed that they are going to fake her death. Drogon is going to take her to the Wall and she'll wait for him there. At Castle Black.
He couldn't tell how long she has to wait but he was sure he'll do everything to be there again. And that was the day. The gates started to open, and he found himself face to face with Tormund. He jumped down from his horse and just staring at his friend. He did not say a damn word. He looked around but he did not see Dany.
"Jon." she stepped out of the shadows and she smiled a bit. But with that smile, some tears appeared in her eyes. Jon let out a relieved sight and walked to her. He did not touch her, just stopped right in front of her and staring at her beautiful face in silence.
"There is nothing to see here," Tormund yelled with the others and dispersed the crowd. Dany giggled a bit and followed the giant man with her eyes.
"He is a very good man. And a great friend of yours. He ..." she tried to break the silence.
"I am sorry it took that long." Jon cut her words.
"And now?" Dany narrowed her eyes and her voice was trembling. "What will happen now?" she was talking so quietly.
"I can't give you the Seven Kingdoms, and I can't give you the Iron Throne. I can only give you one thing." Jon lowered his head. "To be honest, I already gave it to you, I just hope it is enough." he swallowed. "I... It is cold up here for a southern girl. You ... you can go back to ... to Meeren and ...""You want this? Me to leave? To go back there and ... " even she was so surprised how hard it was her to form those words. "What I thought?" she shook her head and she was so disappointed. "The thing you gave me is my life, and because of the truth, you can't be with me." she realized and she did not even think about her words. "Thank you for your service, Jon Snow." she took a step back from him and her eyes filled with tears.
"Or you can stay here with me," he added when she turned her back at him. Dany stopped but she did not look at him. "You are my family," Jon added quietly.
"I can't live with you and deny what I feel for you," she whispered. "The past period has been just quite painful and I can't pretend you are nothing else for me just my... just the son of my brother." she swallowed back her tears but it was even hard for her to form a word.
"That wouldn't work for me either in that way" he stepped closer and took her hand. Dany frowned and raised her emerald eyes at him. "The past few weeks locked in that cell without you ... made me realize that I don't want it. I don't want to live without you. I want to be the shoulder you're crying on. The crutch you rely on. The friend you can trust, and the man you wake up to every morning." he sighed. "The one thing I already gave you is my heart. It is yours, and it's up to you what you do with it." he smiled a bit.
"I don't understand." her voice was trembling and her eyes locked with his."I love you Dany," he answered and placed his hand on her cheek.
"I thought..." she opened her mouth
"I don't care." he shook his head and caressed her cheek.
"Are you sure?" she still couldn't believe his words. "Because next time when you push me away... you won't just push me away." she lowered her head. "But your child too," she added and she put her palm to her belly."What?" Jon's eyes started to shine.
"I didn't know how to tell." Dany took a deep breath. "I did not want to force you to chose me because ... because of that child. I did not want to stand.. in the way of your happiness." she continued. "I did not want to force you to make another sacrifice."
Jon slowly raised his other hand and placed it to her hand on her belly. He couldn't stop smiling. The fact that she was waiting for him there, make him happy, but this child... it was his dream.
"Just as I didn't want you to make any sacrifice for me." he was fighting with his tears. She slowly raised her eyes at him again and they were staring at each other.
"Oh for fuck sake." they heard Tormunds voice from behind and they both turned to him. "Kiss that woman you little crow." he spread his arms. Daenerys giggled and Jon laughed too, and their eyes met again."I love you, Jon Snow and you are right. That thing you gave me is more than enough." she was caressing her belly. "You gave me the world."
"And I would do it a thousand more times." Jon slid his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "And I will." he smiled a bit, and leaned closer to her face and their lips finally met. Their lips fused in a deep kiss and that kiss was just the beginning of their future."Finally" Tormund rolled his eyes and their laugh broke the kiss. Jon was holding Daenerys in his arms and looked at his friend. He formed a "thank you" with his lips then gave another kiss to the love of his life.
