Wish You The Best / Jaime Lannister / Tywin Lannister

29. Survived

Sue me / Sandor Clegane / Vaera Targaryen out now!

"At a wedding?" Zaria questioned rocking little Azalea back to sleep.

"Real shame. But freys did us a great favor none the less." Tywin assured.

"I suppose... i just wish i knew where jaime was." Zaria added before taling her spot beside Tywin in bed. He kissed her gently.

He wished she wasnt thinking about jaime after he spent the night tangled around her kissing her every curve but of course she was. Jaime was the boys father.

Zaria always felt self conscious after a birth. Her body didnt look the same. Her stomach was flabby with post labor grossness her stretched out lower region always seemed like a canyon of yuck. So she didnt let jaime near her after her boys birth. She wanted him to see her as desirable she had enough trouble keeping his focus on her and not cersei before she was stretched. But with tywin she didnt care. Because she knew he didnt care how she looked. Their relationship was more than just skin deep.

She snuggled into him feeling fat and disgusting yes but he treasured her as if she was a jewel. Now and always.

Tywin felt zaria sigh heavily against him. His grip relaxed giving her room to move. She always shifted her hips and arms a dozen times before getting comfortable.

"Im too hot." She whispered

"I will open the window." Tywin agreed getting up.

"Thanks ty," she added as he settled beside her once more.

"Of course. Your wish is my command."

She hummed running her fingers over his arm around her waist. Her eyes closed as azalea cried out.

"I forgot why i wanted more children." Zaria whispered.

"Liar you missed this." Tywin countered.

"I did she is precious. God she is so precious. I forgot how little they are... she's smaller than the boys were."  Zaria added kissing her little face. "What do you need now my love?"

"The boys are so good with her too."  Tywin added. "Shes going to be the little princess."

"My little princess." Zaria agreed. "Go to sleep baby girl go to sleep."

"Hello azalea, good morning baby sister. I love you." Aeron whispered. She giggled smiling up at him when zaria woke. She tensed elbowing tywin. He gave a low moan she hushed him

"Morning baby," zaria said sitting up in bed. Tywin felt like a child as he lifted the blanket hiding his face.

"Hi mum. I wanted to see her she gets big everyday." Aeron told her

"She does. She really does." Zaria agreed

" I wish dad was here to meet her."

A long silence filled the air and tywin reached out grabbing her hand under the covers.

"Me too."

"I won't be marrying Ser Loras."

" I seem to remember saying something similar about my own marriage." Tyrion countered.

" You're not me. You want to make things better for Sansa? Give her a child."

" So you can tell Father it was you who finally talked me into it?" Tyrion chuckled.

"So she can have some happiness in her life." Cersei corrected.

" You have children. How happy would you say you are? Oh Zaria tending to joffrey and mothering him was amazing though, I adored that." Tyrion assured. "Only time joffrey seemed happy was when she was tending to him." Cersei snarled back at him. 

" If it weren't for my children, I'd have thrown myself from the highest window in the Red Keep. They're the reason I'm alive."

"Even Joffrey?" 

"Shame." Zaria said as she passed. "We would all be a lot happier if you threw yourself from the red keep, right Tyrion?" Zaria questioned innocently.  Tyrion looked smugly to a scowling Cersei. 

"She's my favorite." 

"Out of the way. Step aside, country boy. People working here."

Jaime chuckled as he passed. Humbled by the mans bluntness.

He made his way through the capital looking up at the castle he smiled seeing Zaria in the yard with the boys, a little baby in her arms.

"Zaria!" Jaime called out. She turned towards her name but hardly recognized him. "Zaria... Zaria!" he ran to her and she tensed. 

"It's dad." Arthur said. Zaria processed slowly as Jaime ran to her. 

"Jaime." She breathed back, Tywin pulled away slightly. He had enjoyed his one on one time uninterrupted with Zaria but knew jaime would return soon enough, but not like this. Not so broken. 

"Oh Zaria," Jaime hugged her, he reeked but she held him. 

"Jaime," She whimpered not realizing how much she missed this until he held her. 

"Whos... who's this?" jaime questioned after hugging the boys. Aeron didnt hide his disgust as he fanned a hand in front of his nose. 

"Azalea." Zaria whispered. 

"Azalea," He repeated. "Oh, she's precious." 

"She is." Zaria agreed noticing jaime's bloody numb. "Jaime," She reached out but he flinched back. "You need a maester." She realized. "Come, come," Zaria passed off Azalea to Arthur. "Take her inside, to bed, your father needs a maester." She told them. "Can you bring up some food for him too? Something yummy and lots of it no doubt he is starving."

"You survived." Tywin said. 

"Hello father." Jaime said with a huff. "Thanks for looking out for them." 

"How could you be so stupid?" Tywin demanded under his breath. 

"GOod to be home." Jaime sassed leaning into Zaria. 

"Come on, I got you. You are safe."
