[Kings landing, the red keep, the gardens] Tomas is walking through the Gardens with his uncle Tyrion, Talking about his newly married life to Sansa stark.
Tomas: So uncle, are you quite satisfied?
Tyrion: Satisfied?
Tomas: With your new wife, of course. She's a true beauty.
Tyrion: She is, true stark beauty.
~Tomas looks at Tyrion before turning back to Admire the garden path.~
Tomas: Must be awful for her, staying in a place with the people who killed her father and conspired to kill her mother and brother.
Tyrion: You have your mother to thank for that.
~They both stop and look at one another~
Tomas: You know it wasn't her fault.
Tyrion: She could of done something.
Tomas: And you really believe that joffrey wouldn't kill any of us for voicing our own opinions on the matter.
~they both continue walking~
Tyrion: You don't have to be scared of him.
Tomas: I'm not. Anyway he can't kill his family. Just because he's king doesn't mean he will get away with treason.
Tyrion: If Joffrey killed you, Stannis would wage another war on the Lannisters. You have always been his favourite nephew, I know you are mine.
Tomas: Uncle you can't have favourites!
Tyrion: We are human, besides, Joffrey isn't the greatest nephew in the world and I hardly see Tommen anymore.
~A squire walks to Tomas and Tyrion~
Squire: Your highness, the queen regent requests your presence in the dining area.
~Tomas turns to tyrion~
Tyrion: You best go, your mother doesn't like to be kept waiting.
Tomas: Go and find sansa, I will see what mother dearest wants.
~Tomas grins at tyrion and both walk in opposite directions~
~Tomas enters the dining room, Cersei exits the balcony~
Cersei: My dear boy.
Tomas: Mother, is everything alright?
Cersei: Everything is perfect. Where have you been? I haven't seen you for the past 2 days.
Tomas: I have been inspecting the troops, having the odd drink in fleebottom. Going to orphanages to check if they need anything; speaking of which I am going to donate my smaller clothes to the orphans and I have drawn up a new router for food to be given there so the children don't starve.
Cersei: The world doesn't deserve you. To be frank, I don't see joffrey doing much for the ophans.
~Joffrey enters~
Joffrey: Thats because mother, I have army's and welfare to sort.
Tomas: Brother.
Joffrey: But our mother is right, I am glad you are helping them in my absence...of help.
Cersei: Couldn't be prouder of my children.
~puts one arm round joffrey and Tomas~
Joffrey: I am also sorting the matter of the Targaryen girl who is now Meereens new queen.
Cersei: Apparently she has freed all the slaves of slavers bay.
Tomas: Maybe there is such a thing as good Targaryens.
Joffrey: She's still a threat. She has an army, whos to say she won't leave meereen and attack westeros.
Cersei: She has nailed 200 masters to mile posts, shes dangerous.
Tomas: Those masters nailed innocent slave children to those posts! I agree with her actions.
Joffrey: You are siding with the daughter of the mad king and not your brother
Tomas: doesn't mean I don't believe she is still a threat to the country. But her family is gone, we saw to that. There is nothing for her here.
Joffrey: Her family ruled westeros for 300 years, of course there is something for her here.
Tomas: Aegon had his sisters and his dragons. Daenerys has 3 dragons and an army yes... but she is queen of meereen now, maybe she has forgotten westeros, maybe she will create a new dynasty for slavers bay. Not exactly a threat.
Cersei: Tom is right, she has more power over there then here. Leave her be, she won't attack when she has the slaves in the cities to look aftet.
Joffrey: yes but I will still be cautious.
Tomas: Brother, forget about her. Your wedding is next week! We need to finish the plans.
Joffrey: Yes brother, a joyous occasion.
Cersei: and Myrcella?
~Joffrey gives her a letter from Myrcella, she reads it and smiles~
Joffrey: she is enjoying herself, shes safe there. Oberain martell spoke to me saying she is becoming a custom to dornish way of life.
Cersei: Im happy.
Tomas: Well lets hope our little sister doesn't enjoy it too much, she is going to have to come home soon.
Cersei: Shes liking the prince of dorne. Hopefully creating a stronger alliance.
Tomas: Exactly, we are all grown now, its time to take our own paths.
~Joffrey, Cersei and Tomas look at eachother~
Tomas: Speaking of which, we need to get your wedding suit fitted.
Joffrey: I have other things to do
Tomas: No no no, your majesty. We are getting it done now.
Cersei: Joff, come.
Joffrey: alright, don't baby me.
~Cersei and Joffrey giggle as they walk out of the room, leaving Tomas to read some documents on the table~.
{A few hours later}
~Tomas is in the attic, snooping about. Looking at private letters from Robert to cersei and her private diary.~
Tomas: I miss you father.
~he comes across a document that is sealed with a wax stamp~
Tomas: whats this?
~he opens it and begins to read~
Letter: My Darling Tomas, before you read this just remember your father and I love you and were only trying to protect you.
Tomas: What?
Letter: On a stormy night, you were born. But you aren't who you think you are. You were born at dragonstone, the night your father lay seige to the castle. Your mother died after giving birth to you and your sister, she and your elder brother Viserys fled to essos, they left you behind. Your father brought you back to kings landing and we promised to give you a life. You were the first of your family to be born with brown eyes and brown hair. We couldn't kill you, the first moment I laid eyes on you, I loved you with all my strength and promised to protect you from those who would harm you. Tomas, Baelerion Targaryen didn't die, you are him. We lied to keep you safe, to give you a life. If you are reading this then I have decided to tell you.
I love you very much my son, you are a Lannister and Baratheon, never forget who cared and loved you for all your life.
All my love, Your mother Cersei.
~Tomas drops the paper, and runs out of the room~
~he runs to Cersei's quarters. Bangs on the door and runs in~
Cersei: Tom in seven hells whats wrong?
Tomas: Is it true?
Cersei: My boy you are making no se--
Tomas: Am I Baelerion Targaryen?!
~Cersei looks in horror~
Cersei: how?
Tomas: You should always keep things hidden better mother, I went to the attic as I had nothing better to do, I looked through your old things, trinkets, love letters. Then I found that one letter.
Cersei: Tomas my son...
Tomas: I'm not your son! My lifes a lie! 19 years has been one lie! I am Aerys and Rheaellas son, that means my brothers are rheagar and viserys, my sister, my twin is Daenerys. My brothers are dead! my parents are dead...my house is on the brink of extinction!
Cersei: Keep your voice down! Or...
Tomas: Or what? People will learn the truth?
Cersei: Yes!
~Tomas sits down, cersei goes to him~
Cersei: The reason me and your father didn't want to to tell you is so you could have a normal life. People are still trying to kill Daenerys, if they found out who you were then-
Tomas: They would kill me?
Cersei: I would never let that happen.
~Tomas looks at cersei~
Tomas: Who else knows? And be honest with me, you owe me that much right now.
Cersei: your uncles, your grandfather. Your brothers don't know. Myrcella doesn't know.
Tomas: What about Daenerys?
Cersei: She thinks you died when you were born. Thats what I was told. But remember they left you. Robert, your father brought you here, home to me, to your family.
~Tomas begins to weep~
Cersei: No one must know, for your safety you cannot tell anyone, especially joffrey! if he found out you know what he'll do.
Tomas: So i keep living this lie?
Cersei: Tomas you know who you are, forget who made you, we raised you. Your brothers love you, your sister loves you, your grandfather, uncles love you. Your father loved you with every bone in his body, and I would give my life for you. This life isn't a lie, its your life, you made it your life.
Now live it with us.
Tomas: I won't tell anyone. To be honest it has been a really good life.
Cersei: then why get upset over it. My dear boy, you are you. And yes you are a Targaryen, but I have never heard of such a perfect Targaryen. Now remember who you are. You are my son.
Tomas: i am your son, and I intend to live this life as I have done. Forget Daenerys, i don't know her and she has her life. This is mine, you are my family and I am so thankful for everything you have given me.
~Cersei and Tomas hug and weep~
~Joffrey has been listening in, he now knows the truth and walks away~.
