Hear Me Roar

Chapter 15: Family Matters

Maester Marwin still requires Jaime to rest and not move frequently because too much moving might cause the wound to re-open, but 2 days since his wound is stitched, Jaime goes for a walk everyday. Elya is watching Willem sleep when Jaime spoke, You know, the maester says that my body could use some exercise. He winked and smirked at Elya. Seven hells, Jaime! How will I face Maester Marwin now? Why do you always make things difficult. Elya replied, how can she really face the maester now when Jaime asked if he can resume doing his duty.

Mother, I think it is just fair if we treat Jaime like family. Robb told Catelyn, Catelyn put down her embroidery and narrowed her eyes at his son and said, What changed your mind? I must admit, I have been thinking the same lately. Robb responded, He could have let the White Walker kill me, but he did not. He could have put me and my remaining men in the dungeon, but he did not. He could have killed Talisa for what I did to my nephew or put her in the dungeon, but he did not instead, he gave her a guest chamber. He did not imprison you, he took care of Sansa, and Arya when we couldn't. He teaches Arya on how to be a better sword fighter. He may be a Lannister but he is not the person who ordered father dead, and we need his army to take back Winterfell. Catelyn nodded and said, Very well then, when will you speak to him about having an alliance, I am sure that even his father will agree to it.

6 days ago...
Jaime saw Sansa at the most secluded part of the castle, he did not know how she found her way in this place. Sansa, do you want to see the private cave because you seem sad. it's not cold there though, it feels like summer in th cave. Sansa nodded vigorously and replied, I would love to Ser Jaime. Then they went to the cave.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

Sansa went straight to her mother's chambers. When she got in, her mother told her to sit and asked, Sansa, what is wrong with you? Is someone bothering you? Sansa shook her head. She hesitated to talk at first but she replied, Mother, I-I-I ....I am..I am p-p...I am with c-c-child. Catelyn shook her head in disbelief and she felt like she lost her voice. Sansa you stupid girl! Who is the father?!! Catelyn is so mad at her for being so naïve. The father is...i-is.. the father is S-Ser Jaime. Mother please don't kill him. Mother I can be his mistress, please mother don't ship me somewhere far away. Elya would understand, some lord husbands have multiple mistresses. Please, mother.
Catelyn could not believe the words that came out of Sansa's mouth, but she is angrier at Jaime. Robb and she were about to accept him as part of their family, but now, that may just be a dream. Cat went to Jaime's solar, and thankfully, Elya was not yet there. Lady Cately- Jaime started but she slapped him. How could you?! She is just a girl, I thought you loved Elya! She continued hitting him. What are you talking about Lady Catelyn? At this point, Cat is blinded with rage so she slapped him harder. You! You got Sansa with child! How could you?! Elya dropped the goblet she was holding, her mouth open because of what her mother had said. What? She started calmly. What?! Sansa is...w-with c-child? Jaime's child?! Catelyn nodded but Jaime managed to regain composure and he spoke, No! No!.. Seven hells! I did not even touch her! I just showed her the way to the cave, and then I left. You have to believe me Elya. I would never do that, especially to Sansa. I don't know why she would put the blame on me. Elya please.. please. Elya went out crying and she raced to Sansa's chamber. Cat also went out and followed Elya. Jaime was frozen, for the first time he could not move to his own accord.

When Tyrion heard a loud crash in Jaime's solar, he went staright in. He saw his brother throwing things everywhere. Jaime, what is wrong? Are you drunk? Jaime smelled like wine so Tyrion thought he is indeed drunk. Sansa, she told her mother that she is with child, she told her that she is carrying my child! Tyrion was shocked but he managed to ask, Is it yours then? Jaime shook his head. I did not even touch her, nor kissed her. I don't understand why she would tell them that I got her with child. Tyrion, you believe me, don't you? Tyrion nodded and said, Of course I believe you, if it were true you would not be so mad at Sansa.

Sansa! Elya yelled, she saw Sansa talking to Robb, Talisa, and Arya. Sansa spoke before she could speak, Elya, I'm so so sorry, but please, don't kick me out. Please I beg you. Elya is in a bad mood and does not want to play games. Are you really with child, Jaime's child. Robb, Talisa, and Arya were all shocked and their mouths hang open. I will kill that bastard the next time I see him. Robb said with gritted teeth. No Robb, let's hear our sister's explanation of Jaime denying the child, and why he believes it is not really his because according to him, he never touched her. Sansa tell us the truth and you can stay. Lie and Lord Tywin will force you to drink moon tea. Sansa nodded, Bree said that she only got married to her husband because she was with his child. So I pretended that I am with Lord Jaime's child so that he can marry me. Forgive me please. Elya was about to speak when her mother yelled at Sansa. Sansa how do you think we can fix this mess you made just because of your foolish beliefs. I hit Lord Jaime all over his face multiple times, and you made your sister cry by letting us all believe you are with child, let alone your sister's lord husband's child. Elya then spoke, Sansa, I will let you stay if you promise never to do it again. Mother, I will talk to Jaime first. They all nodded in agreement.

Elya saw Jaime still in his solar drinking. Jaime? Forgive me and my mother and Sansa about earlier. Apparently, she still believes of knights rescuing maidens, like Florent and Jonquil. My mother, sisters, and brother would like you to be part of the pack. I- Jaime crossed the room in three strides and cut her off by kissing her. He smiled at her, My face hurts from your mother's slaps, a hitter, that one.

Jaime went to Sansa's chambers believing that all the Starks are there. He entered, and before Sansa or Lady Catelyn can speak he cut them off, Forgiven. He smiled at them. You want an alliance to reclaim the North and my father agreed to it, so alliance you will get. Jaime shook hands with Robb and then Robb spoke. Shall I call you good-brother now? Jaime laughed and replied, Whatever helps you sleep at night. Lady Catelyn also spoke, Lord Jaime, I'm sorry about the hits. I see that it has taken toll on your face. Jaime smiled at her and replied, No need for formalities.. You are all my guests here.

Jaime found Elya on the bed reading something, he joins her and he whispers in her ears. I'm all yours. He kissed her then. You know what happened next.
