"Bran!"

"Rieka!" He declared as she ran to him.

"I'm late to the party as always these days." she remarked collapsing into him. Bran put a hand on her stomach.

"Tyrion's." Bran realized.

"Yep but hes long gone. I anoint you daddy Bran." Rieka declared. 

"Gross Rieka." bran groaned out.

"Wheres Jon?"

"He just left to dragonstone." Bran informed her. 

"Whats on dragonstone?" Rieka countered. 

"The dragon queen... and tyrion." Bran answered. Rieka stared back at him silently.

"Hes... alive." Rieka whispered. "And back in westeros."

"Yes. Rieka... why am I wet?" Bran questioned.  Rieka looked down

"Fuck my water broke on you." Rieka laughed out. 

"Gross." bran repeated.

"I'm having a baby. Daddy bran get it together. "Rieka instructed

"We are not targaryen." bran corrected.

"Daddy bran-" she giggled out. "Come on what are big sisters for if not to torment you."

"That's the little brothers job." Bran corrected.

"Already claimed the title." Rieka corrected. "Now off you go my chariot! We are having a baby!"

"I changed my mind, I'm not ready." Rieka decided. 

"You are doing great." Sansa assured. 

"This baby is coming out sideways." Rieka decided. "The little nugget."

" No, it just feels like that. Your fetus is facing up instead of down." The maester remarked.

"Seven hells." Rieka muttered. "Something's wrong? That's what that means?"

"No. Baby's just moving around, letting us know that it is time to come out." Rieka's jaw chattered anxiously.

"Something doesnt feel right." Rieka kept murmuring and Bran held tight to her hand. "You know I think I changed my mind, I'm fine with keeping this kid hostage in me forever. Lets just-" Rieka groaned out. "-tell the kid no and I'm not really ready yet."

"You are ready."

"I dont feel ready." Rieka corrected. Bran held tight to her. "Bran, something isnt right. I feel it, something isnt right.... I need Tyrion."

"I get it. It's a big day. You know, a lot of new experiences all happening at once. But, this is not new for me. I have been here many, many times, and I know exactly how to help you get through this." the maester reminded her.

"Thank you... yeah, I dont do gentle motivation...  but just... tell it to wait. Just to fucking wait until I'm ready." Rieka begged. "Somethings not right," She whimpered her vision blurry.

"I can't do that."

"Bran." Rieka begged. 

"You got this, you got this," Bran whispered leaning over and kissing her cheek. "You are Rieka Rose Stark and you got this!" Rieka nodded her lips pursed in pain.

"Then get it out of me." Rieka demanded.

"I can't do that either. Your body is not ready-"

"I thought you just said it was!" Rieka sobbed out. "Why does it hurt so much, I kept this little shit safe for moons and this is how it repays me?"
