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

"He is worth fighting for"

This scene takes place in Jon and Dany' chamber, Sansa and Arya sitting by the fire and little Ned sitting on his Aunt Sansa, who is just admiring her smiley, happy nephew. Eddard Stark Targaryen she said as she caressed his cheeks, Jon, he suits his name, she smiled. Daenerys says that he has my patience, but I say he inherited that from father. You are patient though, Arya added, you had heaps of patience with me when we were growing up. Jon laughed at the memories, that felt like a lifetime ago, he added.

Daenerys loved to see him talking and laughing with his siblings, is this what being a part of a family feels like? Laughter, teasing, talking, loving each other unconditionally? She observed her son looking around at his family that surrounded him, she knew that they would look after and protect him in an instant. Without a doubt. Jon looked at his son, and smiled at him, his baby holding his hands out wanting to get to his father. Jon shook his head, you stay there and be with Aunt Sansa for a little while longer, he said in a voice that neither of his sisters recognised.

What on earth was that voice? Asked Arya as she walked towards her sister and her nephew. Don't use that voice again please, we want him to be able to speak clearly and properly, in a normal tone. This request made both Dany and Jon laugh. You are one of the most stroppiest, headstrong girls I have ever met my lady. Arya looked at her queen, please, call me Arya, I'm not a lady. Arya dropped down so that she was eye level with her nephew. You gave us the best thing our family has had in a long time your grace she said. You saved our brother more than once. You can call us whatever you want - Sansa added.

Jon looked from his wife to his sisters and couldn't help but smile. Arya held her hands out to receive her nephew. Sansa frowned and pulled him away, no she said, you've enjoyed him for three months! I have only had him for a few minutes. Arya rolled her eyes at the comment, three minutes, Lady Stark, you are so dramatic! Ned pushed himself back and began to stir, Daenerys stood, he's hungry she said as she walked towards Sansa, its about his bed time anyway. She changed him, then fed him in her rocking seat by the fire. I would like to ask the both of you a favour...

The girls attention turned to their brother who was gathering all of his babies things and putting them in their correct places. He then sat on the seat next to his sisters, looking at the both of them dead in the eye. We would like to know if we could leave him here with you, while we take Kings Landing. Arya looked from her sister, to the queen then finally to her brother, Jon, you know how I feel, you know what it is I want to do, what I have to do. Ae, I know he said, I know of your list, of your hate for Cersei, I know. Jon looked at his wife then continued...

When we were attacked on our way here Arya, for a moment, I watched you fight. You move like no one I have ever seen before, you are skilled fighter, I need you to fight for him. If, this castle is stormed while we are away, I need to know that he will be safe. You and Sansa will protect him, I know it. There is no one else I trust in this world. Ghost will stay and so will Rhaegal. I will stay said Sansa, we will keep 100 men here too. Daenerys nodded and the entire room looked at their little sister. Arya walked to the window and stared at the darkness outside.

She then turned to her half asleep nephew who was being winded by his mother, she thought of all the reasons she wanted to leave, but knew that she would only need one reason to stay, and he was it. I will stay she whispered finally. Jon smiled, thank you, the both of you. If anything happens to us... Sansa cut him off. Nothing can happen to either if you! You need to return to him, he needs two parents. Daenerys smiled at her husband as she stood and walked to put her sleeping baby into his crib. He sure does, she added.

However, if anything was to happen to the both of us, he will be under your care, the both of you. You two are the only family we have...

'We are going to leave in two nights' said Jon as he walked to his babies crib, watching him sleep. Sansa and Arya following suit, until all four of them were standing around him. Arya looked up at his parents, it is an honour to be his guardian, I will protect him with my life. As will I said Sansa. With my life...
