Fire & Blood

Jon

     Two weeks of wedded bliss passed and Jon felt like the luckiest man alive. But reality was beginning to set in. Daenerys wanted the Iron Throne and he had promised her that he would help her get it. His only concern was that she is carrying his child and he wants no harm to befall her again. He couldn't bare loosing another child and he knew Dany couldn't either.
That evening Daenerys called a meeting, everyone who was a close advisor or a commander was present.
Jon stood beside his Queen while Tyrion began the meeting.
"My Lords, Your Graces we need to strategize a plan to over throw my sister and I believe I've come up with a clever one."
Jon watched the dwarf smile pleased with his clever plan. Jon broke the long pause.
"Well let's hear it Lord Tyrion, it's no good to us if you keep it to yourself."
A few of them chuckled at Jon's snide remark and Tyrion nodded his head to his King.
"If we march our armies to the gate of King's Landing and draw out her armies as a diversion we can get Arya to sneak in through the dragon tunnels. We all know she seeks revenge on my sister, this way we can avoid blood shed and loss of our military, once Arya finishes her. It can be an easy conquest. If Your Graces agree of course."
  Jon glanced at his little sister with concern, Arya was smiling pleased that someone would allow her to get her vengeance on that mad queen Cersei. Jon didn't like that his sister would go in alone so he spoke up.
"That's a clever plan Tyrion, however, I don't want Arya going in alone. It could be a trap, we've all fallen into Cersei's traps before, believing she would aid us. We all played into her hands and you being her brother thinking you knew her well, when in all honesty My Lord you've been wrong more than once. I will not sacrifice my family or allow them to be in the hands of your sister ever again. It's because of the Lannister's that the Starks have lost most of their family, My family. I'd prefer my sister not be alone and I say all this without offensive just stating the facts from previous events."
   Arya looked at him with a scorned glance upset that he was being over protective. That's when she broke the awkward tension between him and Tyrion.
"I'm not the girl I once was Jon, I will be fine on my own. Truly brother I can handle myself, consider Cersei Lannister a dead woman walking. Besides I have a plan and it will work because I've done this before."
Jon exhaled in defeat but still wanted to try and persuade his sister, "Arya I—I just don't want—."  He was cut off by Dany,
  "My King, if your sister says she has a plan why don't you speak with her later in private and go over the details with her. That way she may put your mind at ease but for now this maybe a good plan. If you don't like Arya's plan we can come back and strategize another."
   Jon shook his head to his wife. And that's when Davos spoke up. "Your Grace, I witnessed your little sister in the battle against the dead and I'm tellin' ya she can more than hold her own. I was just glad she was on our side, she's quite the warrior. I dare say she's more skilled than ya are."
Jon grinned at Ser Davos for trying to ease his anxiety as he always did in his own way.
"It seems I'm overruled, Arya for now this plan can go forward but you and I are going to have a word about your plan later."
Arya nodded her head in agreement.
That's when Ser Jorah spoke, "Your Grace where will you be in all of this? You're with child and your pregnancy hasn't been easy."
Jon nodded along with Ser Jorah and was glad he was bold enough to bring it up. All eyes shifted to Daenerys waiting for her response.
"I'm grateful for your concern Ser Jorah but I will be on Drogon soaring above watching, ready to aid my army in battle. So that if I need to burn away Cersei's armies or any other threat to my military, I will do so. I'm with child but I'm also the rightful Queen. I cannot and will not stay back in Winterfell hiding behind the walls of my husband's home. What kind of Queen am I, if I stay back and don't fight along side my armies? I am a conqueror, a Targaryen just as my child is. I will be there to rain 'Fire & Blood' on the usurper Cersei Lannister."
Jon watched as Dany gritted her teeth with passion, saying the last bit of her speech. He also watched Tyrion who didn't really care for the words she spoke about bringing fire and blood to his secretly pregnant sister. Tensions were high and the room was silent and that's when Jon decided to be bold and question his wife's authority.
"My Queen, surely you could stay back in Dragonstone while I win you the Iron Throne. I'm also a Targaryen and I can ride Rhaegal to do as you are going to do. I only suggest this because I saw you fall from the sky with Drogon when we fought the dead. You know the consequences we suffered from your fall, I couldn't bare it if I lost you along with our son and heir. Please think about it, that's all I'm asking of you." Jon watched as Daenerys stern face began to softened as he made her recall the death of their other child. He was hoping she would understand that he wasn't challenging her authority, instead he was just trying to protect her and their unborn son.
Daenerys blinked and swallowed before she spoke. "Very well My King, I shall consider your request. However, if I choose to ride along side you to King's Landing you must accept my decision. I understand you all want to keep me safe but you must realize that this is something I have worked for my entire existence. It has been etched in my mind since I was a child that the Iron Throne is rightfully ours. It would be the biggest disappointment of my life if I wasn't there to assist in the conquering of it."
Jon understood her feelings as did everyone else in their war room.
Tyrion smiled at his Queen, "We shall win this war and the both of you will be on the throne by the next moon. To the last Targaryens, the rightful heirs to the Iron Throne!"
Everyone in the room repeated, "To the last Targaryens!"
Jon reaches for Daenerys hand and squeezed gently. She turned and smiled at him but he could tell she was not please he was making her think about staying behind at Dragonstone.
But in all honesty Jon didn't care if she was upset because he would rather she be upset with him than to face loosing her and another child. He couldn't bare that hurt once again and he wouldn't. He would try his best to make Dany listen to him, no matter how unpleasant it would be.
