"You appear to have two babies in there my lady." The maester says as I'm being checked by him.
"Two? How has that happened?" Joffrey says and I hold his hand.
"Your mother is a twin, it must run in your bloodline." The maester says, I stay silent, curse Jamie for passing on his twin gene.
"I must say, you appear to be six months, you only returned to King's landing four months ago." The maester say and I freeze.
"Are you questioning my lady? It is our baby, it must just be early!" Joffrey yells and the Maester bows.
"Yes your grace." He says before leaving.
"Nothing shall hurt our baby." Joffrey says kissing my head before leaving
I had no troubles for the coming weeks, I was now 8 months, Joffrey hasn't done anything else drastic I'm my presence. The attack was looming, stannis was an hour away.
"Lady Roslyn." Tyrion says entering my chambers.
"Lord Tyrion." I say trying to bow, I can barely do it with my stomach.
"I assure you know the way to the safety chambers?" Tyrion says patting my stomach.
"Yes." I say smiling down at him.
"Joffrey requests your presence, he's ready to fight." He says and i sigh.
"My lady!" Joffrey says as I enter the room.
"My king don't you look ravishing!" I say kissing his cheek.
"Your king rides forth to battle, you should see him off with a kiss." He says pulling out his sword.
"My new blade. Hearteater, I've named it. Kiss it." He orders, i kiss it and he smiles.
"You'll kiss it again when I return and taste my uncle's blood." He says and i clasp my stomach.
"I'm sure you will, slay him my king." I say kissing him again before being led to the safety rooms.

"Roslyn!" Sansa says as I enter the room, the queen has Tommen with her
"Sansa, are you alright?" I say as we sit down with Shea.
"Roslyn." Cersei calls and I walk over and bow.
"Your grace." I say and she pulls up a chair.
"Sit." She says and I sit.
"You look pale, your stomach is swelling, they shall come today." She says and I look at my stomach in panic.
"Surely not, I have a month left!" I say and she smiles. She pours me some wine.
"Calm down, drink." She says and I take the cup.
"How did you get through your birth?" I ask and she smiles.
"It was painful. Sadly for you, nobody will be there holding your hand, they are all out in battle." She says and I get a sharp pain in my stomach.
"The labour had begun." The queen says and Sansa comes up to me.
"Take me to a bed!" I order and Shea comes over, as well as a flock of woman.
"Get the midwife!" Sansa yells.
"Sansa hold my hand." I say and she sits next to me.
"I'm here my lady." The midwife says before crouching at the other end.
"Yep this baby is coming now! I need towels of linen!" She yells and another maid brings them.
"Okay my lady push!" The midwife says and I scream in agony.
"Keep pushing!" She yells and i push with all my might, this was awful.
"I see the head keep going!" She yells and i scream again, practically bruising Sansa's hands.
"You have a healthy baby boy!" The midwife says, holding a gorgeous baby, before I can hold it, Cersei takes it.
"He's beautiful."she says and I smile.
"Okay the other one is coming!" The midwife says and I push again.
"Keep going!" She yells and i scream in agony again.
"You have a healthy baby girl!" She says and I hold this one first.
"What shall you name them?" Sansa asks, as she holds the head of the baby.
"Princess Alicent and Prince Robert." I say as Cersei hands me Robb.
"Gorgeous names. Does Joffrey approve?" She says and I nod.

The babies were golden haired beauties. They had gorgeous chubby faces and blue eyes, they looked the image of Jamie, they were my world, I barely remembered a battle was happening when we heard a thud, causing my babies to cry.
"Shh." I say rocking them. Sansa was over my shoulder, glancing at the babies.
"May I hold one?" Sansa says and I hand her the boy.
"I hear the queen order another Lannister to call Joffrey out of battle, he must see the children.
"Ladies, go to your rooms, the queen is going to kill us all if the rebels get in, she will kill your babies. Run." Shae whispers in my ear as Cersei leads Tommen out of the room.
"Come with us!" Sansa says and she exposes a knife of her leg.
"Nobody will kill me." She says as both me and Sansa run to her bedroom. She hands me the baby as she bolts up the doors.
"The babies are lovely." A voice says and I turn to see the hound on the floor with a bottle of wine.
"What are you doing here?" I ask and he takes a swig.
"I won't be here for long. I'm going." He says and I look shocked.
"Where?" Sansa asks.
"Someplace that isn't burning. North, might be. Could be." He says and I look at Sansa.
"Go with him." I say and she ignores.
"What about the king?" She questions.
"He can die just fine on his own." He says taking another
"I can take you with me. Take you to Winterfell." He says and I nod.
"Take her, I have to stay. She can leave." I say and Sansa shakes her head.
"I'll keep you safe. Do you want to go home?" He says and she shakes her head again.
"I'll be safe here. Stannis won't hurt me." She says and I tug her arm.
"Look at me. Stannis is a killer. The Lannisters are killers. Your father was a killer. Your brother is a killer. Her son will be a killer someday. The world is built by killers. So you'd better get used to looking at them." He says gesturing to my son.
"You won't hurt me." Sansa says as I rock my babies who have started to stir
"No, little bird, I won't hurt you." He says unlocking the door.
"Go with him Sansa." I order and she lets him leave.
"I won't leave you here alone, not with these people." She says and I hug her.
"You stupid stupid girl." I say crying into her shoulder.
