Jaime stayed by his sister, checking if she was breathing, feeling her pulse and simply willing her to wake up. But after a little more than an hour he started to see that it was useless. That his hands were tied and he was incapable of doing anything. That's when Claudia burst in with Arlenna and Aynai.

Everything was happening fast – with Aynai checking on Cersei, Claudia prepared the necessary equipments and Arlenna trying to wake her up – he could barely understand what was happening so the just kept to his sisters side.

The blond girl woke up with a start and screaming in agony after what felt like hours to Jaime.

"Cersei listen to me" the young mid wife said from her place at the end of the bed– the un formal addressing to the lady Lannister felt strange to the hand maidens present but they knew she didn't know who she was talking to. "You are labor but I'm going to try and stop it. There's a large complication happening so I need you to hold on so I can stop the bleeding before you push alright?"

Cersei was very pale and barely conscious but she managed to nod her head slightly. With Jaime's help she sat up more on the pillows and properly opened her legs for the midwife.

After almost an hour somehow Aynai controlled the bleeding.

"Alright Cersei, I'm sorry but your already too far into this labor the baby will have to come tonight." The mid wife said.

Cersei looked pale and tired and she could barely keep her eyes open. Jaime had spent that entire time afraid – no not afraid, terrified. She has been managing to not be too loud up to that point and he was grateful. The rest of the rock couldn't know what was happening and as terrified as he was in that moment the boy of merely ten and five – who could no longer be called a boy – knew that t would be much much worse if any one suspected what was happening.

His twin nodded her head slightly and rasped "But are they find?"  When none of the women in the room said anything to the young blond girl asked more forcefully "They are fine too come tonight right?"

"Lady Cersei if they do not come tonight it might mean your life." Arlenna said with the confidence that only a woman of her age could have. She looked unafraid with steel eyes at the girl on the bed – the girl who was clearly shaking with fear and pain but trying her hardest to hide it.

"Do you think I care? I don't. I don't care if I die. You three useless–" Cersei suddenly cut herself of with a scream folding in herself and clutching desperately to belly.

"Cer – Cersei" She was crushing his hand as Jaime tried to calm her down "You have to try and be quite my love" he said as he tried to contain the tears in his eyes that were trying to slip out at the sight of her pain.

"Jai it hurts – and you three useless women do something! My babies, do something to save my babies!" She said trying very hard not to yell out more.

"Cersei listen to me" Aynai said "your babies are coming tonight. This is not my first time at this, you are not the first women I've gotten through child birth and I am telling you, you and you child or children are going to be alright."

"I don't care about me." Cersei replied and Jaime dreaded hearing what she said next "Let me die I don't care just make sure both of them live." Then another round of unbearable pain came and she was groaning again.

It went like that for some time.

"Alright Cersei time to push."

The pain was unbearable. She had never felt anything like it and it took biting down on a wooden spoon left there on the table that Jaime retrieved for her for her screams to be contained
