[For Jorah/Hannibal] Homecoming

[tyrelltempest]

In Essos, Daenerys had given birth to a healthy and lively baby girl. She had her father's dark eyes but the light hair and full face of her mother. It was shortly after her birth that a letter arrived from across the Shivering Sea - too far for a raven to fly. It came from King's Landing and bared the Bolton seal. The letter invited Daenerys back to Westeros, but not to reclaim the Iron Throne. Apparently, Hannibal Bolton had taken control of King'sLanding, and the Starks had all but been demolished. The Lannisters, in turn, had also been eradicated.

Daenerys was shocked. But more than that, she suspected treason. As did Tyrion Lannister. With her newborn daughter to her breast, Daenerys took council with Jorah, Grey Worm, Missandei and Tyrion.

"Who does this Bolton think he is?" She snapped. "Inviting me back without promising to relinquish the throne to me? It is mine by birthright, I will not allow some savage northman to take what is mine."

Lannister, Baratheon, Bolton - the name didn't matter. A thief was a thief.

"If he took King's Landing and defeated the Lannister army, my queen, then we can conclude that he indeed has a powerful army of his own," Tyrion pointed out.

A few weeks had gone by, and Margaery's belly had begun to swell only slightly with their fourth child. Of course Olenna could spot this a mile away and was already declaring name options. Aenar was with the pair of them while they took tea in the gardens overlooking the ocean. The boy was now sitting up on his own in his mother's lap, but still feed from her breast. The twins were studying with their tutors.

"So tell me child," Olenna sipped her tea. "What is your husband's intention by inviting the Targaryen girl back here?"

Aenar cooed when Roose came close and he patted his hands over the dragon's nose. Margaery glanced up to her grandmother, who added more to her question.

"Don't tell me he means to surrender his throne to her, now that they have a confirmed common lineage?" Olenna scoffed.

"Certainly not, grandmother," Margaery replied sharply. "Do you honestly think my husband is the type of man to relinquish power? No. But if you're so curious, all him yourself, he should be joining us shortly."

Margaery smiled when Hannibal agreed. When he gave the whistle for the children and they burst into the room, she couldn't help laughing. Reina had been holding Aenar, but she then turned the younger brother over to Rhys after her older twin had climbed into bed beside their mother. Reina climbed in as well and smiled down at the baby.

"Rhys, Reina, Aenar - say hello to your new baby sister," she looked to Reina, remembering the name she had suggested. "Elaena, that's what you wanted, right my love?"

"Mama..." Reina bit her lower lip. "I did say that, but I thought of a better name."

"Oh?" Margaery looked to her daughter, puzzled.

"Yeah - Loerys, with a 'y'. For uncle," she answered. Reina looked to Hannibal and back to Margaery again. "Is that okay? We could call her Lolo."

Margaery had to bite her lower lip to keep from crying, so touched by the thought from her daughter. She looked to Hannibal and smiled. "What do you think, Papa?" Margaery asked him.

Hannibal smiled as he took Aenar who quietly looked at his younger sister. He heard what young Reina had said and smiled proudly at her. He knew Margaery would love the name and perhaps be able to move on with her grief by seeing her brother's name carried on in their youngest daughter. Aenar smiled and pointed to his little sister. "Lolo." He said as he shifted to brush some of her hair out of her eyes.

Hannibal smiled with pride. "I think it is perfect. Loerys Bolton."

Margaery smiled and rocked the baby. "Little Loerys." She agreed. Margaery looked to Reina and kissed her forehead. "Such a good idea, my darling."

Reina grinned and held Loerys' little hand. "My sweet girl, would you like to hold your sister?"

Reina grinned and nodded. Margaery helped her hold Loerys in her arms.

Hannibal smiled as he shifted to hold his sons as Margaery and Reina held young Loerys. He kissed Margaery's temple tenderly. "You did so well my love. Shall we send a raven to your grandmother to inform her of our happy news?" He asked.

Margaery smiled and kissed Hannibal's jaw. "Yes, she'll be anxious to hear another girl is in the family." Margaery laughed Loerys began to lick her lips and whimpered hungrily.

Hannibal chuckled and nodded his head. He saw the taletell sign of feeding time. He kissed Margaery deeply. "Come boys, let us leave the women their peace and go write to Mimi." He said before taking Rhys and Aenar out of the room. Rhys was getting old enough that he really should not be seeing his mother's breasts so often. Aenar was eatinnon his own now, and he wanted the women to have their time together.

Margaery smiled and kissed her sons before they left with Hannibal. Then she bared her breasts and brought Loerys up to drink. Reina paid her mother's breasts no mind, she was infatuated with her little sister. "She's so pretty mama," Reina smiled.

Hannibal took the boys to where the ravens were kept and let Rhys write the letter to Olenna. While they were there a raven arrived from the wall. It appeared that the trap would be ready in a fortnight. He frowned slightly at the report. He wanted more time with his new daughter before this battle began.
