The Rainy Days of our Life ...

Nightmare...

Daenerys

Jon was holding Rhaella in his arms; she was smiling at her.
+ Mama! I want ice cream!
_ I'll bring you whatever you want.
Dany kissed her daughter cheek, walked in the house and collect her favorite ice cream. Before she could reach them again; she heard Rhaella's scream followed by Jon's loud shout.
+ Rhaella!
She dropped what was in her hand and ran out from the house. Jon was sitting on the ground and holding Rhaella's  bloody body in his arms. Her tears fell on her cheeks as she ran to them...

_ Rhaella!
She screamed as she woke up. It was just a nightmare. But she couldn't stop her tears. She was worried about her daughter. She went to Rhaella's room and hugged her blanket; it smell like her... she grabbed the phone and called Jon. After calling him five times, finally she heard his sleepy voice.
+ Yes?
She cried:
_ Jon...
His voice became wakeful:
+ Dany? Is that you?
_ Jon please...
+ What is it? Did something happen? Why are you crying, love?
She tried to be calm but her tears didn't let her be.
_ I had a nightmare.
He took a deep breath and asked:
+ Is that all?
_ Is really Rhaella okay?
+ Yeah.. she is sleeping.
_ If you want to punish me, then do it but don't take her away from me. I'm worried about her... My child...
She cried again. Some moments they said nothing but then he said:
+ You have to learn to live without her.
She nearly shouted:
_ I can't! damn you, Jon! Why are you doing this to me? I had enough! Why you become merciless?
She could feel anger in his voice when he answered but he tried to be calm:
+ I'm just like you now! You were merciless! How many times I told you, I begged you to tell me what happened. You didn't listen and didn't think about me or Rhaella. That's the life you chose! Enjoy it then!
He hanged up the phone before she could answer. She started crying again. She knew she made this mess. She stayed in Rhaella's room for nearly an hour; then she looked at the clock; it was 3 am. She sighed and went to the kitchen; made a cup of tea for herself to quieten her headache and sat there. She felt like she missed a part of her soul. Now she knew what she was going to do. If she got divorced... if Jon took their daughter away from her... how could she live without her? She put her head on the table and tried to not cry again; even she didn't want to have her tea. She was so lost in her thoughts and didn't hear the door opened.
+ Dad, I'm sleepy! Why did you wake me up? I hate you!
At first she thought it was a delusion; she stood up.
+ Where's mum?
She ran out of the kitchen and hugged Rhaella tight.
+ Mum!
Dany kissed her cheek. She never missed anything in her life like she missed Rhaella.
_ I missed you so much.
Her little daughter rubbed her eyes and said:
+ Okay. But I'm so sleepy. Daddy woke me up!
Dany smiled and held Rhaella's hand in hers. She saw that Jon went to the guest room.
_ Will you sleep with me tonight?
+ No mum. Dad said a big girl should sleep in her bed.
She smiled sadly and said:
_ Even if you know I'm afraid to sleep alone?
Rhaella looked around and then turned back to Dany.
+ Where is Dad? He'll protect you. He said...
She looked at her mouth eagerly.
_ What did he say?
+ I want to be with you, not with grandmother. I said you can't be alone and he said that he will be with you and protect you and I shouldn't be worried.
Dany lifted her up and said:
_ He is right but now he has headache and he wanted  to sleep. You and I are going to sleep in mum's bed. Agree?
Rhaella put her head on Dany's shoulder.
+ Agree.
She went to their room; put Rhaella on the bed and pulled the blanket on her. Rhaella hugged her knees and closed her eyes. She leaned down and kissed her cheek and went out of the room. She had to thank Jon; she called him late at night and made him to bring Rhaella home. She remembered his worried voice; he called her love. She knew he loved her, until he got worried about her, he loved her.
She stood in front of the guest room; took a deep breath and opened the door. The room was dark but she could see him. She knew he was awake.. she knew the rhythm of his breath.
_ Jon?
He didn't open his eyes, he took a deep breath.
+ Yes?
_ Well.. thank you for bringing Rhaella.
He answered quietly:
+ You're welcome.
Dany sat beside him, playing with her hair.
_ You are still... still angry with me?
He smirked and opened his eyes, looking straight into her eyes:
+ Angry? It's not as simple as you think.
_ I said that I'm sorry. Didn't I?
He turned and sighed:
+ I'm tired, Daenerys. I have many things to do tomorrow. We'll talk later.
She closed her eyes for a second... she couldn't break her pride more than that... then stood up and left the room without any word....

..........................

She woke up sooner than Jon and Rhaella. She slept peacefully after a while. She went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. She was toasting the bread when she heard Jon's sound from behind.
+ Hi.
She turned and tried to smile... tried to forget last night. He had worn his suit and she knew he had to be in court today.
_ Good morning.
Jon sat on the chair.
+ Would you please give me a cup of coffee?
_ Why coffee? The breakfast is ready.
+ Thanks. I don't want it.
She didn't argue anymore; gave him what he wanted and sat. She looked at him closely; his eyes were red like he hadn't slept. They were quiet until he stood.
+ Be ready when I come back to bring Rhaella.
_ To where exactly?
+ Where she should be.
She got angry.
_ Here is where she should be! At her house!
+ Nope. Here is your house. Not Rhaella and I...
He wanted to go when she stood in front of him.
_ What the hell is that suppose to mean? Why are you playing this game?
+ You start it!
She said sadly:
_ And I finished it...
+ That's where you are wrong. You start it but I'll finish it...You didn't ask from me for starting it and I won't for finishing it.
She was trembling in anger.
_ What do you mean? You want to divorce me?
He took a breath, looked into her eyes.
+ Yes.
She didn't say anything and let Jon pass her... she couldn't believe what he was going to do. It was a nightmare... but what she had done? He wanted to do it just because she kept it quiet to save her pride?
She called him:
_ Jon?
Jon stopped but didn't turn.
_ Divorce me then... divorce me if you can but you have to stay here until we are wife and husband! So you'll come back tonight!
He didn't answer.. he just went out and closed the door....
