It had been several years since you and Jaime had fallen in love and you wished you could say that the situation had changed. The two of you were still sneaking around behind Cersei's back hoping that one day you could be honest but both far too sensible to think things could work with her knowledge at least at this point.

He was the head of the Kings Guard and you were in Kings Landing to discuss anything political that would affect your house. It was a ploy though, only wanting to be closer to Jaime, but you were still regrettably unable to tell anyone about it. You had to put up a fight every time your father sought you a marriage, even if Jaime had started to suggest you agree as he feared you wouldn't be able to find a happy life with him if it would only be within the shadows.

That was no longer an option though. Things had changed and you weren't sure whether it would be for the better or worst overall. You gave him word that you needed to speak urgently and within a few hours the two of you were in a secluded room, him looking concerned as to why you needed to meet.

"Has something happened?" He asked. "It isn't wise to speak in public about meeting."

"I know Jaime, but I do not know what to do. I'm scared and I don't know what our options are anymore," you whispered, everything having come on so fast that life would likely come crumbling down around you both.

He offered you a gentle smile, pressing a soft kiss to your lips to let you know you were safe. "Everything will be okay. Please tell me what is worrying you so we can work this through together."

"Cersei is going to have my head," you croaked. "She will not let me live."

Both of you knew his sister could be heartless but as long as she didn't know that the two of you were together, she had no reason to harm you. You were simply a noblewoman there to discuss the business of your father and she would have no reason to suspect you had a relationship with her twin.

"What do you mean?"

"Jaime... I'm pregnant," you said. "If she learns you're the father she will not only kill me but the baby. I know not what to do."

He paused, wanting to be happy to be the father of your child but all he could think of was the dangers that he felt that he had put you and your unborn child in. Wrapping his arms around you, he pressed a kiss to your forehead.

"I will find a way to save us all. I will find a way."
