"Alice Johanna Baratheon." Cersei decided. "After my mothers." Alice wanted to cry. Black hair on her little head and a wail on her lips as Steffon, named after Roberts father ran forward, colliding with Tywin's legs.

"A brother?"

"Sister."

"BOO!" Steffon countered before running off again. Alice chuckled.

"They will learn to love each other." She decided.

"Boo!" Steffon repeated. Robert smiled down at little Alice Jr.

Although Alice had wanted more children of her previously she didnt anymore. She was happy to step into grandmother role of spoiling her grandbabies and trying to keep tywin from marrying off their boys.

It had felt strange talking to stretch marks. But robert had put his nose to cerseis stomach and sung lullabies or told stories or lessons he talked to her stomach daily. Their soon to be child was out in the world and he was glad. They both were that they listened to alice and worked things out all those years ago.

"You look good with a baby in your arms." Tywin remarked. Alice shifted her newest granddaughter in her arms.

"Sandor and gregor were never this little." Alice whispered kissing little alices head. "I think they were nearly 15 pounds day one. Not five. She must only be five little pounds."

"Cersei and jaime were little." Tywin recalled.

"And she is happy with robert. I was worried at first but look at them."

"Steffon is definitely a robert in the making." Tywin mumbled

"Thats not a bad thing." Alice assured. "Robert has proven a good husband and a good leader. Dont be butter he choose jon aryn over you for hand still!" Alice laughed back.

"I am more experienced-"

"And pleaded health reasons for leaving nearly five years ago," alice reminded him. "You are not a young lion anymore honey."

"You werent saying that last night." Tywin corrected.

"Always my lion." Alice assured kissing him.

"My turn." Sandor requested holding out his large arms for alice jr. Sandor was always good with the younger children. Steffon liked his piggy back rides. Said sandor was a good horse. Alice snuggled into sandors broad chest as alice passed the baby off.

"Oh and gregor was looking for you." Sandor added touching little alices nose "was i ever this little?"

"No," alice confirmed.

"Surprise." Gregor chuckled low in his throat as tywin outright laughed

"Shelby is pregnant?" Alice questioned "you arent married yet!" She demanded.

"Because you waited with pops before you started doing the-"

"Gregor." Alice scolded as tywin wrapped his arms around her.

"The wedding is in a fortnight."

"And yet you know she is pregnant." Alice countered. Gregor smirked gleefully "you are a man. At least you are marrying her. Okay... i am happy baby. My baby is having his first baby... heavens i have to prep shelby on what her body is about to go through carrying a clegane." Alice realized running off.

It turned out there was a remedy for Cersei and Roberts woes. For Tyrion and Tywins loneliness. For the kingdoms to have peace.

The remedy was simple.

It was Alice.
