River sat in her living room, her lips plastered with a smile as Jace span around in front of her, immediately wiping it off of her face when the man had spotted it. His finger pointed out at her as he stumbled forward, dizzy from spinning around.
"You- you smiled!" He yelled, laughing after, his hands gripping the girl's cheeks making River push him away, groaning when her father had walked into the room, an eyebrow raised at the man who was happily laughing.
"What happened?"
"She smiled!" Jace smiled brightly at the older man who grinned back, crossing his arms as he perched himself on the side of the sofa, glancing down to his daughter who glared at her friend.
"Who's made you happy?" Daryl questioned before smirking as he realised who she had seen the previous day, "Was it that Shelby boy that came by?"
River's mouth gaped before she snapped it shut, standing up from the sofa and held her hands out towards the two men, "Why is he here anyway?"
Daryl smirked as he watched his daughters cheeks flush, slumping down in the sofa as Jace scrambled forward, putting his daughter into a headlock, the two beginning to fight.
He missed this.
He missed his daughter being happy and playing around with her friends- he had taken her adolescence away from her. He took her happiness away from her because he decided he wanted power. And when Daryl Silver wanted something he will get it.
"John Shelby is getting married."
The girl immediately broke away from her friends grasp, gasping as she looked to her father with furrowed eyebrows.
"Since he was struggling with the kids-"
"Johnny has fucking kids?!" The woman yelled, eyes wide as she stared at her father. Daryl matched her, eyes wide as he realised he never informed the girl of what had happened since they had left thirteen years ago. "Is Finn his?"
Daryl let a loud laugh escape his lips, Jace soon joining in causing River to flush in embarrassment, crossing her arms as she stared at the two men in anger.
"No-no, that's the youngest brother, John had Katie, Milly, Jimmy and Rich with his late wife Martha," Daryl started causing the woman's eyes to go wide as he named the kids off, "And he wanted to marry Lizzy fucking Stark but Pol' wouldn't allow that, so she got Tommy to get Jace to get one of the Lee's to marry 'im so the war they have would end and John would have help."
"I would've married 'im." River mumbled as she sat back onto the sofa, only for her father to slap the back of her head, "What! The lad is nothin' but nice to me."
Jace fell back onto the sofa next to the girl, throwing his arms around her shoulder as he pressed his head to the girls, "Na, you fancy 'is older brother."
