Dany? He whispered... what's? He looked down again at her bare belly. You're, pregnant? He asked. She held his hand on her belly and nodded. He looked into her eyes and realised that she knew - before he had even figured it out. Shed never seen this look in his eyes before, it was a look she recognised, but not one she ever thought she'd see from his eyes. It was the look of disappointment, and she hated it. He looked to his feet, a habit he picked up from his father when he was unsure or uncertain.

Jon took a step back from his wife who pulled her gown back on, he was not able to lift his eyes to meet hers. You, you could have been hurt, he whispered. You could have di... but I wasn't hurt, I didn't die Jon, she said, her voice trembling as she took a step closer to him, filling the empty space between them. Jon I... I'm so... please he whispered, don't say you're sorry... you knew he whispered is disbelief. When Dany? How do you know? How long have you known? Seven hells, how far along are you?

Her eyes were full of tears. Please, don't get angry she whispered. I'm not angry with you he whispered back, as he pulled his shirt back on. I'm full of grief. I know Dany, I know you were OK, I know everything went as you planned, but, he said as put his hands on her face. It could have gone wrong, you and our child could have died. You really don't know how much you mean to me! He said as he moved her hair off of her face. I do, she whispered, holding her hands on his. I do know...

He took his hands off her face, no, he whispered, you don't Dany, I'll never be able to live without you. If you knew, you wouldn't of left. Its not even that, that upsets me. It's the fact that you didn't tell me... you kept your, our pregnancy a secret. From me, he whispered, looking back at his feet... Why? He asked quietly. Dany... why?

Jon, she said, now being the one to step away from him. Jon I didn't know until we were ready to leave Dragonstone. Brandon told me, I figured he was trying to make me feel better after leaving Ned. Do you remember that? Our emotions then? Jon nodded, looking into her eyes. She met his and continued- Then, Sam examined me shortly after. Please Jon, you remember how you were while I was carrying Ned, you remember how distracted you were, how distracted we both were. Had I told you, you would have lost focus. You would have only cared for me. That, is what gets people killed in war. You should know that!

Jon saw the fire in her eyes and realised that this is the first disagreement they've had since, since before he refused to bend the knee, which felt like a lifetime ago. Jon knew all of the reasons he had to be upset at his queen. He then reminded himself that she is in fact alive, well and in front of him now. He reminded himself that he is able to, alongside his wife, raise children in this new world they are going to build together. He was fortunate and he needed to remember that.

Dany, he whispered, stepping closer to her, fully closing the space between them. I know that you come from a long line of conquerers, your ancestors, your family were all conquerors and you... we, he sighed, are descendants of them, of their great power and strength. I know that that's who you are he whispered as he placed his forehead on hers. I know that you were conquering cities before you even met me, and that you can hold your ground with your dragons by your side, that's what makes me love you so fiercely. However, I was raised by wolves.

I was raised by a man who taught me that honour and family is what is important. Honour came first, it was imbedded in my teachings by my father. Dany, I never had anyone to love, truly love. Not ever, not until you, he said as he caressed the side of her porcelain skin. Daenerys caught his lips in hers. He broke away and continued to caress the side of her checks... we're having another baby? He whispered, a small smile appearing on his face and he rests his forehead onto hers. She looked him in his eyes and whispered, we are.. she said as his hands travelled to her bare stomach...
