If Jon had a child, it would be a dragon and a wolf... just like him said Sansa. 'I'm going to have it, said Arya, her face beaming with excitement.

I'm going to steal it away and take care of it, just like he did with me'. I don't even care if the baby' a boy or a girl.

Sansa and Bran smiled at the thought. Sansa, she continued as she looked into her sisters eyes, We've never had a niece or a nephew before.

The thought of a child, a baby in Winterfell excited them all. They all smiled at each other silently, knowing that they were all on the same wave length. Then, within an instant, their smiles died and the memory of the approaching winter hit them.

Bran looked at his sisters and said - I don't even know if the child is his, let us not get our hopes up.

The King arrived in the great hall, Tyrion, Ser Daavos, Grey Worm and Missandei were all in there too, Jaime Lannister standing in front of them. Jon saw him, sat down between his advisors and thanked him for travelling to them. I hope the kingsroad was kind to you Ser Jaime. Jaime nodded and exchanged a look with his brother.

Jon, trying to be civilised was infuriated at the gesture. He then clenched his hands into a ball of fists on the table, stood and said...

"I know that your sister has broken faith with House Targaryen and House Stark. Even after a promise from Lord Tyrion to allow your, bastard child to succeed the throne, if my queen falls in this war".

Tyrion looked at Jon, astonished at the accusation. However, he continued, looking back at Lord Tyrion with reassurance, I am told it was a ploy on his behalf to show you, Ser Jaime, how selfish your lover realy is.

The fact is, despite everything that has happened, despite all of the information I know about you and why you are here without your banner men, I am grateful to you, I am grateful for your loyalty.

The hall was silent, Jon looked him in the eye and said - "Ser Jaime, will you swear your allegiance to House Targaryen and House Stark, now and always?"

Jaime looked at the king. Looked around the room and replied...

Yes your grace, my sword is yours.
Now and always.
