Stranger to Jaime Lannister

You were y/n Tyrell daughter to Mace tyrell and sister to soon to be queen Margery tyrell. Whilst your sister was engaged to king joffrey, and your brother engaged to cersei, your priorities lay elsewhere. With your son. You were married to a cruel Lord who raped you many a time. You birthed his son and then, when your grandmother learned what had happened to you, your husband died under mysterious circumstances. That was 5 years ago so now you live with your grandmother and your 6 year old son, Alexander

He was such a good boy. He enjoyed sword fighting with his teachers, and listening to stories from his mother. He was so sweet and innocent. That the last thing you wanted was for Kings landing to corrupt his mind. But, something happened. You were walking with your grandmother through the gardens

"Your idiot of a father has arranged a marriage for you"

"What? No, no I refuse. He told me last time that my fiance was kind and gentle. But he was nothing of the sort. I won't put me and Alex through that again" you say to her

"Listen sweetheart, you are to marry jaime lannister. Whether he is kind or not, I can promise you one thing, he won't be able to lay a finger on you. Not when your sister is soon to be queen"

Your whole world was flipped upside down so soon. You never believed you would be married again. Very few people want a widow as a wife. Especially a widow who already has children. You had never even met jaime. Only heard stories of him and his....close family relations

But there he was. When you arrived in Kings landing, your sister ran over and hugged you as did your brother. They both fussed over your son who was holding your hand as instructed. You didn't trust the lannisters and wanted him as close to your side as possible

"Ser jaime" you said

"Lady y/n. You are more beautiful than they told me. This must be your son"

"Yes. This is Alexander" it was rather awkward at first. But after a couple of weeks in Kings landing, you were getting used to things. Your wedding was in 2 months and you were rather fond of jaime. He was a good man even if you didn't know him very well

You were walking with margery in the gardens, arms linked

"So, how's the king been treating you?"

"Rather well. No doubt it will all change quite soon. He treated the lady sansa well...for a while" you hug her, knowing how scared she was for the future. Then, you heard a scream. You and margery ran following the chorus of screams.

Alexander was being held down by ilyn Payne as joffrey watched over laughing

"Get your hands off my son" you yelled going towards him but you were held back by a Knight as you kicked him but to no avail

"You should teach this boy some manners. I could have him executed for what he did to me"

"My love, whatever he did, I'm sure he meant no harm" margery says sweetly although you could tell she was almost as scared as you

"He stabbed me in the arm with his sword"

"Enough" jaime comes running towards you all. Ilyn Payne let's go of your son and he runs towards you crying

"I watched as you demanded he fight you. It was a wooden sword. He didn't stab you. He beat you" joffrey couldn't protest. As much as he tried, he didn't know what to say as you carried Alex back to your chambers with jaimes arm around you. By the time you got back, Alex had cried himself to sleep. Jaime put him into bed and poured you a rather large glass of wine

"Thank you"

"He's my step son. Of course I'm going to protect him. My nephew is a cunt. And I'm sorry you are being forced to marry into this family"

"I can't lie ser jaime. I'm not overly pleased with this arrangement. Whilst you are kind to us, I don't enjoy being in Kings landing. I feel like I can't trust anyone I speak to. Everyone of my friends here would kill me in a heart beat if it increased their status. I don't want that for my son. But you make it easier. I don't know you very well ser jaime, but I'm glad it's you I am marrying" jaime smiles at you, surprised at what he was hearing

"I'm glad I don't dissapoint you" he chuckles

"Can I ask you something? It's rather personal"

"Of course. You are to be my wife. You can ask me anything"

"On our wedding night, do you think we will bed one another? Will you want us to?" You ask

"I won't force you to. You are very beautiful. You are perhaps the only woman in Kings landing who doesn't bore me to death. I love how you put your son before anything, many mothers here would not do that unfortunately. So whilst i would like to bed you on our wedding night and many nights after, I will leave it to your decision" you nodded thankful

Your son then woke up and got out of bed, coming over and sitting on jaimes knee much to your surprise. He was still very tired and leant against jaimes chest as he closed his eyes

"The king said he would have the Kings justice cut my head off" he said scared

"He won't do that to you. Joffrey is an idiot, and cruel, but he also makes alot of empty threats" you said

"It wasn't an empty threat when he warned ned stark"

"Ned stark didn't have a step father to protect him. You think I'd let joffrey hurt you? I promise, I will die before I let that happen. Alexander, you are my son and I will treat you as such" jaime promises

"I wish I was your son. But joffrey is more your son than I am" your eyes go wide and you take a big gulp of wine hoping to forget your son said that. He had clearly been listening to you and your grandmother on the journey to Kings landing

"Their are rumours going around court. But joffrey is just my nephew"

"But mother said-"

"OK time for bed. Come on. You're clearly exhausted" you grabbed Alexander's hand and lead him to the bed. Kissing him and tucking him in before going back to jaime

"So? You think joffrey is my son?" He says with a grin

"Look, before I met you I didn't think very highly of you. Me and my grandmother made some...interesting jokes about your family on the way to Kings landing. And whilst I certainly think more highly of you now. I still believe the rumours. Now more than before. Joffrey is your child. You can swear to the gods that he isn't, but he is"

"You're right. He is my son. And whilst I love myrcella and tommen as my children, you'd be surprised how difficult it is to love all children. Especially when they turn out like joffrey. But that doesn't matter. Your son, my step son, he comes before anyone else. I promise, his life is innocent unlike joffreys" for the first time, you leant in to kiss him

"Well then, for that I thank you. I should really be getting some sleep now ser jaime. Thank you for protecting my son"

"I'll always protect him for as long as I live. Sleep well"

And with that he was gone. Alexander ran into your bed the moment he left making you laugh. He was still quite shy around jaime

"Mother, is ser jaime going to be my father?"

"He will be your step father. Meaning he is my husband but he did not create you my sweetheart"

"Oh" he says sadly

"Why do you ask?"

"I'd like him to be my father" you smiled and kiss your son goodnight. You fall asleep with that on your mind
