Lyanna stayed in her place in the doorway watching father and daughter curl up in the little bed together. Robert took up almost all of the mattress, but Mya didn’t seem to mind. She laid half on her father and half on the little sliver of space that was left. Lyanna was about to turn and leave, let Robert put Mya down to sleep, but Mya turned back towards her and reached out her arms again, her eyes wide and pleading.
“Lya too!” she squeaked, the ‘L’ coming out more like a ‘y’. ‘Yeeya’. That was what she called Lyanna.
Unable to refuse such a tiny request, Lyanna entered the room and sat on the floor beside the bed. At once, Mya threw her little body forward into Lyanna’s lap. Lyanna caught her, wrapping Mya’s little frame in her arms. Mya laid her head against Lyanna’s chest, her little palms clutching onto the loose fabric of the old T-shirt Lyanna was wearing. Lyanna rubbed her back soothingly, like she did for Jon when he was fussy and refusing to sleep. She could feel the warmth beneath her palm as it rose and fell in steady increments.
It was one brief moment of calm.
[Modern AU, Robert and Lyanna as a new family raising baby Jon together, when a few unexpected surprises leaves them struggling as new parents.]
[Note: This is technically a sequel to a series I haven’t posted yet, but its not required in order to understand this series. Basically Robert and Lyanna got together in College, with a brief break where Lyanna had a fling with Professor Rhaegar. Robert and Lyanna got back together, Lyanna found out she was pregnant, and Robert essentially claimed Jon as his own.]
