Artys's Pov, 

6 Years Later, 

Feeling arms wrap around me from behind I can't stop the small smile that forms on my lips. "What are you thinking about?" As I overlook King's Landing from the balcony..... there's peace.... like true peace..... we rebuild what we needed to rebuild and all those who belong in Essos have returned to it. It took some time to get everything where it needed to be but for the last 4 years there's been peace and I want it to last another 4000 years at least. 


"Who say's I'm thinking about anything?" I counter making Sansa release a hum before she kisses my cheek. "Because I know you, and your sons have the same thinking face." She says puling a small chuckle from my lips. 


"I was thinking about you, me and many more." I say as I turn around and can't stop the smile that grows on my face as I see her swollen belly that soon my hand rests on. "About how we got here, the story that maybe one day our children will tell to their children and so on and on." I say and she raises her brow at me. 


"How many more are you planning on? Isn't four enough?" She asks me making a chuckle escape from my lips. "As many as you wish to have with me." 


We have Eddard our son who's now 5 than we have Tommen and Robin the twins who are now 3 and then the child growing in my wife's stomach at the moment. Life has been good so far, Rickon is Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. 

Jace is Hand of the King, he's my brother after all these years he always stood by my side and will remain to do so. Jon he's left.... he went North with the remains of the Wildlings and I think he felt more at home with them........... and he's free to go where he wishes to go. 

I kept my word to Oberyn there would come no harm to his niece and well Arianna is now wed to fucking Jace and are soon expecting their first child! Joffrey and his mother didn't survive the attack of Daenerys on King's landing. 

And still more than ones I feel at blame for what happened, maybe if I would have loved her things could have gone differently buy yet I feel like there where so many things that happened to her in just her life than made the bucket flow over. 



"Daddy!" Tommen yells as he runs over with his wooden sword and is soon followed by his brother's who also hold theirs making me pull away from Sansa and pick him up. "What is this, two against one that's not fair."


"It was a distraction.... attack!" Ned yells and soon the three of them force me onto the ground making me roll around it with them. "Mercy, mercy your father is too old for this! He has old bones!" 


"You're not that old yet." Robin says as he sits on my chest and I release a hum as his two brothers hang over my body. "Have you checked on your eggs yet today? I think any day now they might hatch." I say and he nods his head...... after the battle that took down Viserion and Drogon two falcons survived and I named them Moon and Star turns out they laid eggs and like the Targaryen's had their dragons my children will have their own falcons. 

Ned's egg hatched last year and he called his chicken at first but he changed it to Storm..... it's still growing but in a year or two it might be able to ride it. "No, we will check now.... come on Tommen!" he yells as he grabs his twins arm and starts to pull him away while I sit up making Ned move to hang over my shoulder. 

Standing up as one arm makes sure he doesn't fall off Sansa releases a laugh as she walks over and kisses our oldest forehead. "When will we see auntie Arya again?" He asks making me release a chuckle. 

"Your auntie Arya is exploring the world." I say and he moves to now sit on my shoulder. "That sounds like fun, can I do that?" He asks me and I nod my head. "When you're old enough and if that's truly what you want than yes." 


I don't want to force my eldest to become king, if he doesn't wish it than he shouldn't become it..... I had no claim to the Iron Throne beside the one Robert and the Lords and Ladies of Westeros gave me, if seeing the world is truly what he wishes than I will not stop him from that. 


"Now go I think Tyrion should be around here somewhere. how about you go make sure he doesn't drink all the wine." I say as I put him down and he nods his head before running off, for all the things Tyrion did he does truly care about the people of Westeros he wishes the best for them. And he has a place on my council as does Ser Barristan who's once again commander of the King's Guard. 


"You know I was thinking about a name." I say as I walk over to my wife again and place my hands on her hips while her haunting blue eyes meet my own...... something all our sons share it's like we stare into our own eyes when we look into theirs. 

"And what's that." 


"If it's a girl I want to name her Catelyn after your mother." I say and she wraps her arms around my neck with a smile on her lips. "You do know that if it already has a cock nothing will make it go away right? You've been saying it for months that it will be a girl." 


"Because I know it will be a girl, and I hope she looks like you.............. our sons take after their father but I want our daughter to take after you." I say and it makes her chuckle. "I would like that too,  did you ever think this would be our life?" She says and I shake my head. 


"For a long time I thought I would never find happiness again after what happend with Margaery and Jon, then I saw you again and knew that there could have been a chance and yet I had to be with Daenerys Targaryen and I thought that was it.....  it's been a long road full with losses and grief." I start as I lean downand ghost my lips over hers. 


"But I'm happy to be here with you at this moment, with our children...... and I know that those we love will never be forgotten and that one day we will join them. But for now your stuck with me." I say and as the last word leaves my lips she crashes hers against mine and I can't stop but to smile into it. 


"You my fierce Falcon have always been a smooth talker." 



"Fierce Falcon? I like it." 




The End. 



Author's Note, 


The End I really enjoyed writing this book even though there where times when I needed to step away from it. But this end I don't wish to drag it along to long like we know Sansa and Artys love one another and that they would have wed given the chance!
