A few more months now have passed since the last time Maegor and Lyarra have talked about well they talk but the only thing they talk about is the children. Alysanne was growing so quickly and her baby dragon too the dragon is called silverwing with beautiful silver scales. Jaehaerys is now four and started some lessons with maesters for one the history of Westeros but knowing a few words in High Valyrian. Where Baelon and Aemon are now 2 years old they are still a little too young to start their studies; they stay with their mother or the wet nurses.
Library
'What are the house words of House Tully?' Grand Maester Gawen asked the young prince. Jaehaerys looked down at the book in front of him, "Family ,Duty, honor." Jaehaerys said back "Very good my prince." Maester Gawen paused "Now what are the words for house Tryell?"
Maegor walked into the Library and no one noticed his prestanse so he leaned against a bookshelf and watched his son "Gro..... Growing Strong?" Jaehaerys said in hope he said the right words. Maester Gawen nodded his head "Good my prince." he paused again "What are the words of house Stark without looking in your book." he said as he closed Jaehaerys book.
Jaehaerys looked up at him and tried to remember all the house's words "Winter is coming!" Jaehaerys said very loudly "Very good my prince." Jaehaerys smiled to himself that he didn't need help with those house words "your mother will be proud that you remember her house words." "What do you mean grand maester?" Jaehaerys' question "Your mother was born in the north, she was a Stark before me and her got married." Maegor said coming out so the Grand maester and his son can see him.
"Your grace." The grand Maester bowed his head "Mother is not from here?" Jaehaerys quesited his father "No, when we married she moved here to be with me." Maegor said as he sat down next to Jaehaerys "Where your mother is from, it's all ice and snow." "Whoa that's so cool. Do you think mother has a direwolf?!" Maegor laughed a little "I believe she does starks have always been close to the Direwolves." "Like how you and me and Aemon,Baelon, Alysanne are close to our dragons?" Jaehaerys questioned his father "Yeah it's kind of like that." Jaehaerys turned to the grand maester, "Grand Maester do you know a lot about where my mother is from." "I have been to the north once, my prince but what I remember is that it is very cold."
"I wish I knew more about the north." Jaehaerys looks down at his book again. "You can ask your mother, I am sure her grace would like to talk about where her grace is from My prince." The grand Maester said to the prince Jaehaerys looked up at the Grand Maester then turned to his father Maegor nodded his head and Jaehaerys could not wait to see his mother to ask her about the north. After a while Jaehaerys lessons were over and Magor walked with Jaehaerys back to the nursery.
The nursery
Lyarra was holding Alysanne while Baelon and Aemon played on the floor with their dragon toys. While she watched her three children she couldn't help but feel happy that she was their mother. Then the doors showing Jaehaerys running right to his mother with Maegor right behind him "Mother Mother guess what I learned today?" Lyarra smiled and shook her head "I do not know." "I was learning about house words and I got the words for house Stark right then I found out that you are from house stark and that you are from the north!" Jaehaerys said so fast but Lyarra knew what he said. She smiled at him "that is very good that you got the house words right." "Mother, can you tell me about the north and Winterfell?" Jaehaerys said to his mother in hope she would.
Lyarra put a hand on his face "It is getting late, what if I tell you about it tomorrow." Jaehaerys nodded his head and looked down to the ground which Lyarra did not want to upset him "Well maybe i can tell you one thing tonight." Which made Jaehaerys smile "Back in the north I had a direwolf storm when I found her when she was only pup she was almost as tall as me." Lyarra paused. "Me and my family would sometimes stay outside winterfell and spend the nights in the woods and hear all the animals at night, mostly a lot of howling." "Whoa." Jaehaerys said to her "Mother, do you miss the north?" Jaehaerys questioned Lyarra didn't know what to say but in the end she said "Sometimes." with kind of a sad face Alysanne then started to cry in Lyarra arms "Shh its ok." Lyarra said, rocking her back and forth "Jaehaerys, why don't you play with your brothers?" Maegor questioned as he got closer to Lyarra Jaehaerys nodded his head and sat on the ground and played with some of the dragon toys on the floor with his brothers.
Maegor moved closer to Lyarra "Are you alright?" he asked Lyarra then looked at him "I am fine." Lyarra moved away from him and walked over to the window with Alysanne but Maegor didn't believe her so he walked over to where she was "Your lying." Lyarra looked over to him "I am just surprised that Jaehaerys is learning about the north already." "He is learning about all the great house's he was going to learn about House Stark." Lyarra shook her head "You do not understand." She tried to move away from him but he grabbed her by the waist and held her close to him "What is truly about?" he questioned, "It is nothing." "It is something." Maegor said Lyarra shook her head "Please let go of me so I can help children get ready for bed." Maegor let out a sigh and let go of her.
Lyarra moved away from him and he watched her as she helped the children bathe and change. The two of them stayed in the nursery for what felt like hours until the two kissed each and every child good night and waited for them to sleep they both left the nursery. They walked side by side until Lyarra went to her room and Maegor just watched her as she went into her rooms.
Kings chambers
Maegor could not go to sleep. He was sitting on his cough reading some papers while drinking some wine. When he heard the door open he was about to yell at the person until he saw it was Jaehaerys,Baelon and Aemon "What are you three doing up so late you should be in bed." Maegor said to them as he walked over to them "Storm loud." Aemon said to his father "Aemon and Baelon are scared of the storm and cried." Maegor kneeled down in front of them "It's ok." as he held Baelon and Aemon in his arms "How about you stay with me tonight?" Maegor questioned which made them all very happy. "What about mother and sister?" Jaehaerys asked "we can ask her." and this made all three of the boys so happy.
Queens chambers
Lyarra could not sleep at all, she was thinking about the north everytime she thought of the north and cold and the snow and her family she would miss everything about it and it hurt her that she can't just go there and be there for a day. That's when she heard her doors open she sat up in bed and found Maegor holding Alysanne and the boys were walking next to him before Lyarra could say anything Maegor cut her off "The children want us to sleep in the same room tonight." Maegor walked more into the room while the boy climbed on the bed and got under the cover next to their mother "Storm scary." Baelon said as he got closer to Lyarra. "You got scared from the storm." Baelon nodded his head and Lyarra kissed his forehead "It's alright my loves your safe."
Maegor sat on the bed and looked at Lyarra "Is it ok if we do?" Lyarra nodded her head then Maegor got under the covers with Alysanne laying on top of him, Maegor had one arm around her the other arms as under Aemon and Jaehaerys. Lyarra turned and had Baelon in her arms. She played with the boys' hair and sang the lullaby to help the children sleep. Maegor never stopped looking at Lyarra as she sang to them. One by one the children fell asleep and even Lyarra soon after them Maegor stayed awake for a while until finally he went to sleep.
A few Days Later
Small council meeting room
Lyarra walked to the small council room she saw the lord look angry/annoyed when she walked into the room she found Maegor standing next to the table "You called for me your grace?" she said Maegor looked over to her and made his way closer to her "How are the children?" "Fine playing in the nursery is something wrong? The Lords do not look happy?" Lyarra questioned him, "I have to go to a meeting." Maegor said "How far and how long do you think you'll be away?" Lyarra questioned him again "It's a meeting with your father and I thought you and the children would come." "What?" "You have not been back there since we were married and the children are Stark's They should know about that side of them." Maegor said Lyarra was shocked "But the journey is a moon away and we have four children under four years old and what about you who would be ruling the kingdom while we are in the north." Lyarra said, trying to understand what he was thinking.
"Harroway and my mother can take care of the kingdom for three moons, we can go to the north and I will talk to Lord Stark. You see family it would be nice," Lyarra was still in shock "But..." "Lyarra, do you want to go north with me and the children?" Maegor said while cutting her off from talking, trying to break her out of thought, Lyarra looked to him and nodded her head "Good by the end of the month we will leave to go north." Maegor walked out of the small council room leaving Lyarra there but once he left she smiled and could not believe that she was going back to winterfell.
