Jump then Fall // Jaime Lannister

18. Walk you through a Hypothetical

"You like your nephew?" lena questioned as Jaime looked at a picture Maisie had drawn when she was 6 years old of Lena and Maisie. 

"He needs guidance." Jaime countered. "Maisie is a brilliant girl. I see she takes after you."

"Maisie had great role models in myself and my bullshit." Lena agreed.

"You are so smart, so compassionate, you are everything I aspire to be." Jaime admitted. 

"A woman? I don't recommend it. Men have it easy." Lena countered. 

"A mother, a parent, free do be yourself. You dont care about the repercussions..." Jaime corrected. 

"Well I send the repercussions into the wild and hope they get eaten." Lena countered completely serious but Jaime chuckled. "It's cute you think I"m this great person... I'm a jerk." Lena corrected. 

"You are not. I see your heart Lena Grady. I see the good in you." Jaime corrected.  

"I already like you, you dont have to sugar coat it." Lena mused. 

"I'm being honest... I..." he chuckled. 

"What?"

"It's stupid." Jaime admitted. 

"Tell me anyways." Lena countered. 

"Don't laugh-"

"No guarantees." Lena countered. 

"Hypothetically... can I walk you through a hypothetical? Let me walk you through a hypothetical." Jaime remarked and Lena giggled resting her chin on his chest. 

"Walk me through it." Lena agreed. 

"What if I stayed?"

Lena was over the moon as she kissed Jaime again and again. He flipped her onto her back consuming every inch of her and her body was physically jello... and then she remembered that Arya took the vial last night and she kept pushing off thinking her Maisie and her hopefully new child Arya wouldnt become murders before breakfast. After sure but before...

"Owen have you seen Maisie or Arya?" Lena questioned when she finally pulled herself out of bed. 

"Not yet, they are probably still asleep." Ned offered. 

"Yeah... maybe... maybe not though." Lena countered. 

"What did you do?"

"Do? Nothing I'm a concerned parent trying to be responsible." Lena countered. 

"Now I know you did something." Owen called after her. 

Lena found Ned and thinking maybe he saw his daughter that would be a good thing but... then she saw him being shady as well. 

"What's that?" Lena questioned peering over Ned's shoulder. He rolled up the pages and stuffed it into his jacket. "Yeah that wasnt suspicious." Lena agreed.

"I found something out that I..." Ned began.

"Go on..."

"it could be dangerous." Ned remarked.

"Danger is my middle name!" Lena declared sitting beside him. "Tell me. I can help."

"There is nothing to help." Ned corrected and lena pulled the pages free he reached for them but she stood up on the table out of his reach.

"The great families of westeros." Lena remarked. "Oh I was thinking is there any way that you or your wife have Grady in your DNA because Arya definitely has dinosaur in her blood." Ned choked out a laugh. "No affairs, you are a good family man ned?" Lena mused. "Your wife is a proper lady as well..."

"Can I have that back?" Ned begged.

"Black of hair, black of hair this is the baratheon family..." Lenas words trailed off. "Joffrey very blonde lannister hair." Lena rasped. "Fuck."

"It's crazy its nothing." Ned said unconvincingly.

"You think the queen fucked her brother and had a bastard passing it off as the kings." Lena hissed and Ned swallowed the lump in his throat. "Shit." Lena hissed as she ran off.

"You can't tell anyone. It's just a theory. It's stupid Lena-'' Ned called after her .

"Abort! Abort! Abort mission!" Lena shouted spiriting through the halls.

But it was too late. Joffrey was dead.
