What if Elia and her children were still alive when Eddard Stark got to the red keep? In the end what would Robert decide to do with them while he is still a young man not yet the jaded old king who ordered Daenerys death. The first chapter will be in third person, but I will be doing a lot of first person with this story which if you've read my stories before you know is new and different. I am nervous but excited about it. I will still be writing my other stories as well and I'm sorry I haven't been on lately I've just been struggling where I am at in both of my other current stories and personally. Anxiety and stress are both SO fun, but you guys probably know that. Any who let me know what you think about my latest wacky pairing.

As Elia sat in her chambers feeding Aegon she thought about how nothing really changed, everything had changed but also nothing. She was still prisoner inside the red keep just to a new warden, her brothers still begged for her and her children to be brought to Dorne, they still would be disappointed, and her husband was still gone.

Gone more permanently she had to remind herself, it still felt like he was off on some heroic vanity trip or to dramatically sing songs at Summerhall. She had to remind herself her beautiful husband was lying in the ground. He had lost and so did they. The only luck they have had was Eddard Stark's mercy. Luckily Aerys waited long enough to let his friend Tywin in to the city that the Wolf was not far behind them and saw Tywin's good work on the burning city below and he rushed to the red keep in time to burst in with Jamie Lannister intime to see Ser Gregor Clegane approaching Elia and her crying children in her arms begging him to let them go. Even Tywin's own son thought their attack was barbaric and together they subdued the hound, Tywin had to act like he didn't know what his solider was doing. Eddard stayed for their benefit, to make sure his friend wasn't as rash as Tywin to rid himself of the last Targaryens. Jon and Eddard spoke of mercy and compassion and the wrath of her brothers until he agreed to keep them locked in the keep. And after all of that, it felt like little had changed, and the changes there were didn't seem as big. They were moved from Rhaegars rooms to a different smaller room.

Rhaenys was sound asleep in the bed the three of them shared with her kitten asleep in her arms. She would still do anything she could for her children. That would never change. Soon her son was asleep in her arms and she laid him in the bed next to his sister.

She heard the door creek open and spun around to see the young lord stark.

"Lord Stark." She greeted softly but with respect.

"Dowager princess." He said calling her the title Robert gave her. Why she couldn't just be the princess of Dorne she was born as was beyond her. "Where is my sister?" the boy asked she heard his voice shake, he wasn't to much younger then her but right now he was a worried boy, scared for his sister.

"I was not consulted about where my husband would take his mistress." She said simply and pulled a blanket up around the children while she spoke to him. She felt no anger for him or his poor sister, what girl wouldn't want to run off with beautiful Rhaegar over Robbert Baratheon who was more boar then Stag.

"My sister was kidnapped!" Eddard reminded, she wondered if her brothers were as worried as Eddard was. If they would come to her rescue, she knew they would try at least.

"Not by me." Elia told him calmly, none of her husband's crimes were hers or her children's. She should be at Dragonstone helping Rhaella prepare for her birth and plotting their escape to Dorne, but the mad king ruined that when he locked them up here.

"I was told she was in Dorne." Eddard said and the way she looked at him hearing about how her dead husband took his mistress to her home showed him she knew nothing, her shock and betrayal was one of the most real things he had ever seen she had to turn and look out the window to try and hid her rage, anguish and humiliation.

"Where should I look for her?" He asked.

"My family would never abide by this." She wondered if her brother knew of her shame, that her husband was fucking the Stark girl in Dorne, in her home. Even dead she couldn't imagine her husbands gall, perhaps Robbert did him a favor after all. He died on the trident and never had to face her and her fury.

"No but perhaps Ser Arthur took them to Sunspear? I didn't see Ser Arthur on the trident, he could still be with her."

"No, Doran and Oberyen, if they found out that's the first place they would look….Rhaegar would stick out in Dorne but Ser Arthur won't, ask my brothers to help, they would have an easier time then you finding her, all they will want in return are my children and me, or if you allowed me and my children to go to Dorne I could help you." She tried.

"I asked Robbert if I could return you, he said no. I promise my lady when I return with Lyanna he will be so happy, I will ask if he will let you and your children live with my family in the north under my protection." The kind young lord said.

"Thank you, Lord Stark." Was all she could bare to say but he was leaving them defenseless, he who had been her biggest defender maybe even more then Jon Ayrrn. Without him they would be surrounded by lions and Stags.

But Eddard Stark went to Dorne and left without Lyanna but with a baby. The baby said to be Elia's own lady in waiting and it was said after he left Lady Ashara threw herself off a cliff, people wanted to know what Elia thought but she remained locked away.

Her greatest friend Rhaella and good mother died in childbirth, the Targaryen fleet was destroyed, and Stannis Baratheon took Dragonstone in his brother's name. Yet still nobody saw Elia and her children. Now what once was called the maiden vault was now called the Dragon vault. Never to Robbert Baratheon's face of course.

The rumors became more and more each day, that Elia and her children were slaughtered in the holdfast, that they escaped to Dorne, that Elia had birthed Rhaegars third child after he had passed. Until three years had gone by since the Rebellion.

Elia dressed the children in the clothes she made for them. They were already growing out of them, it was sad Rhaegar wasn't the one she would be embarrassed for him to see them like this. This was his fault, she hoped he knew what he had done to them, she hoped he knew that he had ruined them. It was loyal Ser Arthur who she couldn't imagine seeing her and her children spending three years of their lives in here. Servants came with food and left with chamber pots. She didn't have ladies in waiting, she didn't even have a lady's maid, she didn't have a governess or a wet nurse and on that account Elia was fine she had been content to feed her boy from her own breast until he grew out of that.

She looked at him with his silver hair and purple eyes. "Mommy." The little boy cried. "Their coming again." He said. And she turned and also heard the boots against the floor coming up the stairs. She quickly picked up her son. "Rhaenys get behind me!" She told her daughter a Dornish beauty at only 5. She grabbed her mother's leg.

Ser Barristain Selmy of the kingsguard came in and Elia could see all the pain on his face. Jamie Lannister came in next and then Robert Baratheon himself. She scanned anxious to see Jon Ayrrn the voice of reason, but he was not there.

"You cannot stay here anymore, not with your dragon spawn!" Robert roared and even though he has came before she is scared, shes always scared of him. He gets closer. "Some say your son is the rightful king, he's just a pink little boy made up of nothing, like his father, I know what Rhaegar was made of I washed the trident with his blood!" He barked.

Tears threatened her eyes but she tried to hold them back and kept her head down clasping her children tightly. "If you would like to be rid of use, please sir send us to Dorne, my brothers would be happy to arrange it and pay for our travels." Elia said well like she was still the princess of dragonstone and Dorne not a mother of two living in a small room being tormented by a would be king.

Aegon hid against his mother and Rhaenys behind her. "Your brothers would be happy to pay very large ransoms for all three of you, just what I need is a Targaryen prince in Dorne no, NO! Maybe Tywin Lannister was right about you!"

"If any harm comes to me or my children…" Elia started.

"What? Go on give me your best threat." He demanded.

She thought for a moment. "My brother hated Rhaegar more then you, but they gave him 10'000 men, how many do you think they would give for me? How many Dornishmen would rise up for their princess, how many already are?" She said looking him strait in the eyes.

"Dorne is not a threat we can face right now with the iron-"Ser Selmy said.

"QUITE YOU!" Robert snapped. He looked back at her, deciding whether to have them slaughtered right now knowing it would make him sleep better, but like always he did not.

"You are to be wed, to a loyal servant of the crown." He said simply.

Her whole body hurt. "I will do whatever my king asks as long as I may take my children with me." She said quickly.

"Take your brats, you leave in the morning." Is all the king said before storming out of the room, his guards followed behind him but neither of them approved of the king's actions she could see it on their faces, but they left quietly like always leaving her to console her children who only after the door shut cried safely in their mothers' arms just like she had told them. "We can not let them see our tears." She told them again. They could not know how much they were breaking them piece by piece.
