CHILDREN

RHAENYRA'S POV

It was different. The air felt different, it was fresher. Here, in this new world the air was fresh but not as it used to be before. Sammy had explained that it was due to pollution and many other things. But this dream felt more different than the others. I saw the same children from my previous dreams. They were with me in a small home. The oldest three are one girl and two boys. The girl's name is Freya, the second oldest is Finn and the third oldest is Elijah. I was carrying a baby.

Two other boys and a little girl stood by watching the baby in my arms. Klaus, Kol, and Rebekah. For some reason, all these names feel so familiar, so close, yet so far away, distant in my memories. "Mother, what will you name him?" Rebekah asked. "I don't know, sweetheart. What should we name him?" I asked the kids. They made thinking faces. "Henrik" Klaus quickly said. I looked around at the rest of them. They nodded. "Henrik it is," I said before they clapped happily. They're my kids... In a flash, I'm in a different dream, another memory perhaps. The blonde one stood in front of me with a dark-haired woman. "Esther?" she looks at me with sadness in her eyes. "What are you doing here? And why your sister here?" I ask her. "I can't have children" she replies. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Esther. Does Mikael know?" I ask. Esther once again gives me a guilty look. "I'm sorry, Rhaenyra" before I could say anything she moves her hand and everything goes dark.

THIRD POV

Rhaenyra woke with a gasp. The blonde woman, Esther, and her sister killed her. Her children were dead she was sure. Maybe even their descendants. A thousand years have passed. She lost hope. Now, she was all alone. That day, she stayed in her room all day. Dean wouldn't admit it but he missed her cooking. She had the best cooking skills according to him. Both brothers thought it was weird she was not out and about. She was always up early cleaning and cooking. And then reading a folklore book right after. But, not today she was just laying in bed. Wrapped in sadness.

Sam decided it was best to make sure she was okay. He knocked on her door for a good five minutes before the door magically opened by itself. The moment he walked in, he became worried. "Hey, you okay?" he asked. "They're dead" she replied from her spot. "Who's dead?" he asked. "My children" she replied. He knew her children from her life in King's Landing were dead, it's been lifetimes since their deaths. "I remembered who those kids in my dreams were. They were mine. There was a woman who lived in the new world after we moved, Esther. She was my friend and she betrayed me. She took my children and killed me" she explained but she remained in her spot in bed. She finally stood up. Sam opened his arms to give her a hug and she wasted no time on hugging.

He heard her sobs as she cried for the children she believed were dead. For a few minutes, she cried and let it all out. And Sam was okay with being there to comfort her. "Do you think they found peace? Or that they lived a good life?" she asked him as she let him go. "I like to think that they did. When my mom died, I hoped and I still do that she found peace" he replied and she nodded. She took a sit on her bed. "Do you want to go out for ice cream?" he asked. "What is this ice cream you speak of?" she asked confusedly. "You won't know until you try it" she took a few minutes to decide. "I don't think I would good company, Sammy. My emotions are everywhere and I don't want to hurt anyone" she replied and he nodded. "How about, I go to store and her you ice cream?" he asked and she nodded. "Thank you, Sammy. For being here and being kind to me" he nodded and gave her a hug. "You're welcome, Nyra" Sam gave her one last look before walking out.

She decided to actually bake something to thank Sam for this ice cream thing he was getting her. She didn't know what it was but she wanted to try it. Dean was walking by when he smelled the sweet smell of chicken pasta. Rhaenyra was glad there this thing called youtube. Dean was a good person but he was terrible at showing his emotions and Rhaenyra could tell. "Hello, Dean" she greeted him. Dean knew what was wrong because Sam had told him but it was obvious she was sad. Besides her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Lunch will be ready soon. Here have some lemonade" she gave him a cup full of lemonade. Dean felt like a kid, she always had the best food, snacks, and such. "Sam told me what happened" he started. "I'm sorry about your kids" she gave him a sad smile. "Thanks, Dean" she replied. "I lost my mom when I was four" she turned around and faced him. She grabbed his hand.

"I'm sorry, Dean. I know that wherever she is now, she is happy" he gave her hand a light squeeze. "I know," he told her. "It will get better one day" he added for her. "I get to live forever, Dean. When you're a parent, you watch your children be born, grow, and make their own lives. But you are not prepared to watch them go while you still remain" she could feel the tears welling in her eyes. "I think what bothers me the most is that I never saw them grow up. I gave birth to them, named them, saw a few of their firsts, but I never got to see them fall in love, getting married, having their own family" by then the tears were flowing like a river.

"Sometimes the Gods are cruel," he told her. Sam was already back. "The Gods have no mercy, that's why they're Gods" she replied as she stood up and started to serve the food. "So, Nyra" he took the ice cream out of the bag. "This is ice cream. It's really good. When people are sad they eat ice cream" she nods. "But first, we have to eat food and this is like dessert" she nodded once again. They ate lunch and they talked. Both brothers were trying to make her feel better so they told her about the lives they saved while they were hunting the many things that bump into the night. And then it was time for ice cream. "This... is delicious, Sam!" she said with a happy smile.

Sam smiled, Dean smiled. She felt slightly better now. "Here, have some" she got two coffee mugs and served them ice cream. She felt happy. She lost a family but she had gotten a new one. That did not mean she would replace her old family, but know, she knew she had to move on. And Sam and Dean happen to be the two people she had come across, alongside their angel friend Castiel. With two boys who only had each other but now had one more person. Rhaenyra. And Rhaenyra had them. They were like a small family and they would remain a family until the end of their days.
