You Signed Up for This / Jaime Lannister (2.1)

44. Never Again

"You dont have to go." Rieka whimpered.

"I do." Tyrion corrected. "I am her hand."

"You are always getting onto ships and leaving me." Rieka realized. "Should I give you a note saying Im' pregnant again?" Tyrion chuckled touching her stomach. 

"You are pregnant again." Tyrion reminded her. "Rieka- i'm doing this for our future, for Leona's future, so she can know peace." Tyrion reminded her.

'I know but I hate it because I dont trust her still and I dont want to lose you." Rieka begged. "You are family Tyrion." Tyrion grabbed her hand before turning to leave.

"Oh and Tyrion, Jon is Targaryen. Chew on that while you are claiming Daenerys is the one true queen and whatnot. I would rather follow Jon. I trust him." Rieka remarked. Tyrion blinked back at her but she didnt say another word just headed back inside. 

"What happened to secret?" Bran questioned. 

"Tyrion is my husband, I dont keep secrets from husbandssssss," she drawled out the S. "Makes for a messy marriage." 

It wasnt long after Jon and company left for the capital that Rieka felt herself going into labor.

"I'm too early." Rieka declared. "I'm too early!" 

''I have worked under tyrants my whole life' varys told tyrion 'they always believe in destiny.''

''She was a girl that walked into the fire with three stones and came out a woman with three dragons' tyrion reminded him 'how could she not believe in destiny? you think her a tyrant?' tyrion questioned.

'And there's the problem of Jon Snow' varys went on 'Perhaps it is actually a solution you know them both who do you think would make a better ruler?'

'He does not not want The throne that is why he bent the knee.' Tyrion reminded him

'He is a rightful heir and he is a man.'

'Joffrey was a man he had a cock and it didn't matter didn't make him a good king.' Tyrion recalled.

'It gives him a better claim though.' Varys said.

'At a certain point in time you fight for the person you believe in.' tyrion told him.

'Even if it is a mistake?'

'I think she will do what is right with the help of her loyal advisers' Tyrion told him.

"Jaime, I dont want to lose my baby." Rieka begged. "I'm not ready its too early." 

"I'm sorry my lady but you are breeched." The maester remarked. 

"No, I'm not ready!" Rieka shouted. "Tell the baby to just wait! To wait!" 

"My lady-"

"It has not been nine moons, it just hasnt." RIeka shouted. "What if he doesnt... survive?" Rieka whispered. 

"It's a possibility." The maester agreed. 

"I liked Lewin better." Rieka grumbled, Jaime held tight to her hand. 

"We just have to pray it was long enough, clearly he wants to come out and meet you." Jaime offered. 

"What if the babes not ready, what if I..." Rieka's breathing got shaky. "Where is Arya?" 

"She left... to kill Cersei." Bran remarked and Jaime sucked in a pained breath. 

"That girl." Rieka grumbled. 

"I think its time for you to start pushing, my lady."

'Whenever a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin in the world holds its breath' varys told Jon.

'What do you want?' Jon questioned instead.

'A rightful heir on the throne.' Varys declared.

'I don't want it I never have.' Jon told him.

''I have known more kings and queens than any man I've seen what they do in front of the crowds and the shadows but what I tell you now is true, you will the rule wisely while she-''

''She is my queen!' Jon declared before storming off.

"It hurts it hurts, stop!" Rieka begged. 

"The baby is coming out sideways-"

"Leona was the wrong direction." Rieka remarked. 

"Its okay," Jaime assured. "Its okay." 

"It is not okay." Rieka corrected. "I'm early and the baby is the wrong direction!" 

"We will get the babe turned around," THe maester assured. "No more pushing until then." 

"I will get you some water?" Jaime suggested. 

"I got it." Bran assured as Rieka had a death grip on Jaimes hand. 

'Go home girl the fire will get her or one of the Dothraki, maybe that dragon will eat her.' sandor told arya. 'either way she's dead and you will be dead too if you don't get out of here.'

'I am going to kill her' arya corrected.

'Do you think you wanted revenge a long time? I've been wanting it all my life it's all I care about look at me. Look at me!' he demanded 'you wanna be like me? You come with me you die here' he told her and he walked away to find his brother.

'Sandor.' He turned back to her 'thank you' she said he nodded before turning away she didn't want to die not here, not for Cersei.

'Hello big brother' the mountain was protecting the queen his red eyes looked back at her as she demanded he stay by her side

'Ser Gregor I command you' cersei said.

'Obey your queen sir Gregor' her Hand demanded. The mountain smashed Cerseis Hand against the wall killing him cersei quickly walked past sandor alone down the steps.

Sandor Moved slowly up the steps to his brother before attacking swinging his sword Gregor caught it in his hand, sandor got the helmet off his brother knocking it off with his sword.

'Yeah that's you... That's what you've always been' Sandor said his face, his whole head was disgusting like a zombie red eyes and black veins, monster. Truly what he had always been now the rest of the world could see it to.

"Something doesnt feel right!" Rieka shouted tears in her eyes. "PLease, it hurts!" she begged. 

"More poppy," The maester instructed. "I need to reach in and-"

"Reach in where?" Jaime countered. 

"Into the birth cannel." 

"Why?" Rieka breathed back. 

The building was crumbling around them but they didn't care they needed to settle this once and for all. one of them had to die today Sandor stabbed his sword through Gregor completely but he still did not fall Gregor slammed sander back rolling him down the stairs. Sandor panted for breath as Gregor pulled the blade from his stomach. He was not a man, he was a monster. A scarred and evil monster. he picked sandor up and slammed him down.

"Jaime, I'm scared, I'm scared," Rieka whimpered. "I want the baby to have an L name, like Leona and Lancelot." 

"You are not dying." Jaime demanded. 

"I want them to remember me." Rieka whispered. "I want Leona to know Tyrion, I want them to play in the snow-" Avalon howled out. Ghost had not gone with Jon and he ran up howling beside her at Rieka's beside. 

"You are not dying." Jaime corrected kissing her pale and sweaty forehead. 

"Just in case..." 

Tyrion couldnt believe how far Daenerys feel from grace as she burned kings landing to the ground. Looking around he hated what she did, what her men did, even after the city surrendered. Now as he threw his hand of the queen pin down it clattered down the steps, he knew what he was doing but he made his choices, the people of kings landing didnt.

"Take him." Daenerys demanded. Tyrion knew he would never see Rieka again. Never see his little Leona again.
