The Northern Mermaid

Sixteen

~Lyarra's POV~

I sit next to Jaime in silence as I wait for my breakfast to arrive, Mimmi and Ondina went to get my some crayfish because I've been craving it and I can't get any but also sardines. I think about Demetri and what he said and I wish he were here.

I'm taken out of my thoughts when Jaime nudged my shoulder "What?" I snap at him, I can't forgive him for what he did. I never will.

"Lyarra" looking at Myrcella "aren't you going to eat your food? You've been glaring and stabbing it for the last few minutes"

"Sorry" shaking my head "not hungry for this" I then see my friends come in "yes!" They give me a plate filled of sardines.

"Why isn't it cooked?" Lord Tywin demands

"Because Lya asked it not to be" Ondina responds, I grab them with my fingers and moan eating it.

"Thanks girls" smiling at them

"Sure thing" Mimmi nods her head, I just eat the sardines which grosses out the others.

"Want any?" I ask

Shaking their heads no, more uncooked fish is brought to me and I eat it "um" Jaime asks "are you...are you sure...you don't want to" I glare at him as I eat some more fish "cook that"

"I like my fish raw" I say grabbing a lobster and breaking it apart before eating it "want to try?" Shaking their heads no.

"Bread" we hear Tyrion as it seems Joffrey, the little shithead finally found him "and two of those little fish and a mug of dark beer to wash it down and bacon, burned black" he moves Tommen down sitting next to Jaime "is that fish cooked?"

"No" I snap at him glaring at him, we hear thunderstorms. Ever since coming here we've had nothing but thunder and rain, the one day it was fine Jaime nearly killed Bran. I saw it and he threatened to kill Bran if I didn't keep my mouth shut. I managed to save Bran's legs with magic "it's not, let me eat my breakfast in fucking peace!"

"It was just" snapping my gaze to Jaime glaring at him I slam my hand down on the table, he is silent looking away as I go back to eating.

"One more word from you Jaime" I warn "to me and I will take my fork, jam it in your eye and feed your eye to the pigs" glaring at him, he looks away and I finish my breakfast.

"Is Bran going to die?" Myrcella asks

"No" shaking my head "Maester Luwin said it's a miracle" magic "that he is still able to use his legs"

"Truly?" She asks, nodding my head

"Has he woken up?" I look at Cersei who is nervous, why?

"No" shaking my head "since we're giving good news, Maester Luwin also confirmed I am pregnant" after I saw Mimmi and Ondina when they told me that me glowing means I'm pregnant, apparently mermaids actually glow when pregnant.

"Really?!" Myrcella exclaims happily

Nodding my head "Congratulations" Tywin tells me "to you both"

"Yes" Cersei smiles "though childbirth will be painful"

"Then it's a good thing Mimmi and Ondina both know how to deliver babies" I say, all mermaids are trained to help each other give birth.

"But surely" the queen says "you'll have the best midwife"

"Mimmi and Ondina have both delivered babies many times" cutting her off "yes, when I give birth it will be by the sea"

"Your not" Tyrion asks "going to drown the child are you?"

Shaking my head "No, I just don't want to be in a stuffy birthing room. I'd rather be by the beach just like I refuse to have any wet nurses feed my baby. Also the baby will be with me in my room, no nursery. It will have its own room once it's a year old" standing up "if you'll excuse me, I need to do a few more things before leaving"

Mimmi and Ondina are by my side "I don't trust that Cersei" Ondina says "there is something wrong with her"

"Same" agreeing with her "I'm going to say goodbye to Bran, do you have the umbrella's?" Nodding their heads.

I go to see Bran, Aunt Catelyn is here. Ever since my parentage came out she has been nothing but a raging bitch, her and Sansa both. They think I'm a bastard and only deserve to be a whore.

"What do you want?" She glared at me

"Came to see Bran" I say

"You've seen him" she snaps

Rolling my eyes, going over to Bran "When we see one another again, I'll tell you all about Kings Landing" standing up, I look at Catelyn "I see why my father hates you, both of them" she goes to attack but Jon gets between us.

"You bastard!" She screams "you both are bastards! You deserve nothing but death!" Father and Robb are here.

"What's going on?" Father demands

"I came to see Bran with Jon" I fib the truth "and Catelyn refused to let us say goodbye"

"Catelyn get some rest" father orders

"Bran needs me" she cries "he doesn't need these bastards"

"They are his family" Father reminds her "if you don't leave right now I'll have the guards forcibly remove you" she stays put and true to father's word, she's dragged out.

I kiss the top Bran's head, Jon says goodbye while I look at Robb. We haven't spoken much since the truth came out, I go to leave "Lya! Wait!" Robb stops me "I'm sorry"

"Your sorry?" I ask "why?"

"It's a lot to take in" he says "the fact that I lost my twin and that your my cousin"

"I love you" I tell him "you'll always be my brother"

"And you my sister" we hug

I cry "I don't want to leave"

"I know" he rubs my back "I don't want anyone to leave"

"Sansa?" I ask

"She could leave" he says and we both laugh "I'm going to miss you"

"Me too" I agree with him, I then whisper "it wasn't an accident" looking around before I whisper "you never heard from me, but Jaime pushed Bran"

"What?" He demands

"Don't do anything" I whisper "you need to find proof—protect Bran, his life is in serious danger"

~Time Skip~

After hours of traveling, we are in our tents since it's raining outside thanks to me. Luckily no rain has hit me or the girls yet. I have been practicing with my trident, the crowned prince demanded I give it to him and when he couldn't hold it before everyone including his parents he scowled before leaving and throwing a temper tantrum.

"Lyarra" Jaime is here all wet.

"Leave Jaime" I order

"I just" he comes closer and I take a step back using my trident to protect me, Ondina went to talk to Rita about something while Mimmi is with Arya making sure she doesn't cause trouble "you once said you wished to have a civil relationship"

"That was before you tried to kill Bran" I have my trident, the pointy end facing him that he stops "stay away from me Jaime"

"Can we please"

"You hurt a child" I say "I can never trust you again, the little trust I had was destroyed when you pushed Bran then threatened his life" tears run down my face "leave my tent, now" Diamond who is before me snarls at Jaime.

"I just" I use the trident's back end to hit him in the chest hard enough to throw him out of my tent. Using the top of the trident to see, I see Jaime groaning on the ground as rain poured.
