The song of fire and ice - The dragon and the wolf

"I'll love you forever"

If anything could go wrong in his life, it was happening right now. Time was moving in slow motion for Jon. He found himself staring at Daenerys as if they were the only two in the room.

My family? He said as he looked at her. Jon then turned to the room full of people. Please my lords, can I have the room? 'There is no time for this Jon, winter is here, they're on our doorstep. Just go to Dragonstone. Please listen to us.

I've seen him Jon. I've seen him. He ends the winter and is born in the spring. There is still hope, he...

Bran please, not now.

Jon gave him a look he has never seen before, a look of worry and fear. To him he was the strongest man he'd met. Now he looks like a man who is about to lose everything in an instant.

Arya stepped forward, the king wants the room. We know what we have to do, my lords, my ladies. Let us all go forth and prepare. Everyone needs to leave, now.

With that being said the room was empty within seconds, leaving only the Targaryen' and the Starks. Jon turned to face Daenerys, he held her face with both hands and looked deep into her eyes. To this day, his look continued to take her breath away.

Did you know my queen?

She looked into his eyes and saw nothing but love and fear. Yes, I did with tears in her eyes. Sam says only just. I didn't want to distract you, you have enough to worry about. I'm not far along, I'm told I am only in early stages. I didn't tell you because I may not be able to carry this child. I'm not supposed to be able to have children.

Jon' hands didn't move from her face, even while she was talking. His eyes were focussed on no one but his queen.

'Daenerys, that witch, her prophecies, they were all untrue. For here you are, with child'. She held onto his hands and he kissed her, with love. Everyone in the room was envious of their love, they all saw that it was pure and real. 'I'm scared, for the first time in my life, I am scared'. He smiled and put his head against hers, 'I know' he whispered, 'me too'. 

I've seen him Jon, I've seen you with him Daenerys, holding him not long after his birth. Then light flashes and he's not five years old, running through this castle. A fair boy, with grey eyes and black hair.

Jon smiled at Daenerys and he could feel that the entire room was filled with hope. Very well he said, as he finally took his eyes off the queen and looked around to his family surrounding him. You will go to Dragonstone my love, and wait out this winter.  Greyworm, Missandei, Sam, Gilly, Ser Jorah and Daavos will accompany you and protect you. He could already see the look of disagreement on her face. Please Daenerys, you'll be no help out there, you will be a distraction to me out there. Even on Drogon, you'll kill me.

Daenerys looked around the room and realised that she would do more harm than good. She looked at her king and reluctantly nodded her head. 'We will fly tonight'.

He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear 'thank you'. You need to fly tonight. The army of the dead will be here tomorrow. She looked at him as though he was speaking a different language. The thought of him staying behind was tearing her apart. Jon turned to Arya and asked her to tell those who are accompanying Daenerys to Dragonstone to meet them in the great hall within the hour.

With a nod and a swift turn, she disappeared through the doors.

He held her hand all the way back to their chambers. He caressed her palm and rubbed her arm as they walked. He stopped, and looked her dead in the eye, she looked at him too and she wondered what he was thinking about.

Jon kissed her, on her mouth - finally he pulled away. Held his head to hers while his hand caressed the side of her face. I love you Daenerys Stormborn, I'll love you forever, he whispered. Then he said the words, marry me, marry me Daenerys.

Marry me right now, Sam can do it. I don't want to die not being married to you,and more importantly, I don't want to father a bastard child. Daenerys looked at her king. You are not a bastard. You are a Targaryen. I am a Targaryen. Your parents were married before you were born. She held his hands and placed them on her belly - this child is not a bastard. This child will be a dragon and a wolf, just like you.

He pulled her close to him and kissed her, passionately. Alright my queen. I still want you to marry me, today. In my home. Please.

She looked at him in wonder, you are serious. He smiled and kissed her cheek, I am. I am serious. Let's do this, we can be married within the next hour, then you can take yourself and our child to Dragonstone, with Drogon. She kissed his mouth and caressed the side of his face. Okay my love, there is nothing more that I want than to be your wife.

He walked her back to their chambers, walked with her into the room and lifted her in a warm embrace, kissing her neck, her cheek and then finally, her lips. She put her hands on his face and smiled as he continued to kiss her. Finally, he let her down and said – get ready my queen, I am going to talk to Sam and send Missandei up to help you prepare.

She looked at him, I love you, Aegon Targaryen. He smiled and whispered, I love you too my queen, more than you know.

Before he walked out of the door, she asked for one more request, 'Can you send Sansa and Arya too? I've always wanted sister'. He smiled, yes, of course.

He pulled the door closed behind him as the queen stood there, filled with love and hope, with her hands resting on her belly.
