The she-wolf and the lion

Chapter 34 - the she wolf and the dragon

2 years later.

Jaime and Lyra are in King's Landing for the wedding of Lyra's sister Brianna of house Stark and prince Rhaegar of house Targaryen. Lyra is heavy with another child for her lion lord husband.

A young man, looking to be no more than 16, walks up to Lyra on Jaime's arm as soon as he sees her.
"Hello, I'm prince Daeron, uncle of the groom", a silver haired young man says, holding out his hand to Lyra.
"Lyra, sister of the bride", Lyra says.
"How far along are you and who is the lucky father?" Daeron asks.
"I am, and she is five moons along", Jaime says, putting a protective arm around Lyra.
"Lannister, we missed you at the joust in honor of my nephew's wedding", Daeron says slyly.
"I didn't want to leave my lady wife without me should my child decide to come early", Jaime says.
"Of course not, who would ever want to let such a beautiful woman out of their sight?" Daeron says, looking Lyra up and down with hunger in his eyes. "I wish I had been king when you wedded her, I would have invoked the right of the first night."
"Then you would have taken me with a wooden manhood, my lord", Lyra snaps, moving her mantle aside to show the valerian steel at her side, the slim blade Lion's Lover, forged side by side with Jaime's sword. "I was raised with steel in hand, we don't make any difference between sons and daughters in the north, and my husband practice with me any chance we get."
"Control your wolf, Lannister", Daeron says coldly.
"I learned long ago, when you, my prince, were still shitting in your small clothes, that she can't be controlled, rather that us men should mind our wagging tongues, my lord", Jaime says with a sweet smile directed at the young princeling. "Should we go find our seats, my love?"
"Yes, let's go find our seats", Lyra says, cuddling up to Jaime.

The wedding ceremony is a quick one and the party afterwards lasts for no longer than two hours. After the wedding and party, Jaime and Lyra are shown to Jaime's old chambers in the Red Keep.

Jaime locks the door and the secret entrances before helping his pregnant wife out of her clothes and strips naked before laying down in the bed, holding her in his arms.
"I should have handled the prince better", Jaime says.
"You handled him the way that was best in public, and had we not had so many witnesses, I know you would have handled him the way he deserves", Lyra says.
