Alright, here we go, the reboot of the Sons of Dragonstone. So, Yeah. Another reboot. Look I'm getting frustrated at myself that I keep having these ideas and don't really know what to do. So I decided, screw it, I'm combining my stories into one. Of sorts. My three OCs from Sons will be on here but aside from Richard they will have different names and pairings, of sorts. I'll also be including Cassandra from my Jon/OC story as well. Sorry about this, but I wanted to do something different from all Baratheon stories. Hopefully this is a good one.

282 A.C.

He was in the Chamber of the Painted Table overlooking the map. He was trying to keep himself distracted. His wife was in labor. They had conceived on their wedding night. After his foolish brother soiled his bed with his new wife's cousin no less. Damn Robert. Always thinking with his cock. But he supposed the gods were still smiling at him and Selyse. She had gotten pregnant within a month and was due to give birth. Stannis was sitting near the area of Storm's End. Perhaps if I produce a son Robert will think twice and give me back Storm's End. Stannis doubted it, but a small part of him was a bit hopeful. Eventually Maester Cressen came to the room.

"My lord." He said.

"What news?" Stannis replied.

"Lady Selyse has given birth. Twins, a boy and a girl, red cheeked and healthy." Cressen said with a smile.

Stannis couldn't believe it. Twins? Stannis went to the room where his wife was. Selyse was holding their children in her arms. They were crying for a bit until Stannis entered the room. Selyse looked a bit tired.

"Husband." Selyse said.

"Wife. May I see them?"

"Of course." Selyse handed one of the babes, the boy, to Stannis as he quickly examined them for himself. He had his looks, there was nothing Florent about him, the big ears that they're known for were not present. He was a true Baratheon. Stannis sat down next to Selyse and gave her back the child.

"What shall we name them?" Selyse asked.

Stannis thought for a moment. He considered his father's name or his great grandfather Lyonel's, but then he thought of one.

"Damon. Damon Baratheon for the boy. And Cassandra Baratheon for the girl."

283 A.C.

Stannis didn't think he would have another child but shortly after Jason and Cassandra's birth he and Selyse had managed to conceive another child. He was sitting with Damon on his lap. The boy was almost a year old. He was a well-behaved baby. Never crying unless he was hungry or needed his swaddling clothes changed. And he was always happy with his parents. Stannis spent a lot of time with his son often shooing away the wet nurses. Stannis wanted to be like his own father always caring for his children. Stannis hoped though that whatever brother or sister came about Damon would be a better brother than Robert was with him. Cressen came to the room again to tell him that Selyse had given birth to another boy. Stannis went with Damon in his hands and approached Selyse. Unlike last time he came to the room to silence. He was almost dreading it. A stillborn. But to his surprise Selyse was holding their new son like he was the most beautiful thing in the world. It turns out the boy was just calm. His ears looked a bit big though not as big as the Florents. Once again, this boy seemed to be favoring more his father.

"Well I got to name Damon, it's only fair you get to name this one." Stannis said. Selyse looked at the baby for a moment, she seemed to be thinking a thousand names.

"Richard. Richard Baratheon." Selyse finally said.

"A fine name my lady."

And for the first time in a number of years, Stannis Baratheon had a small smile on his face.

285 A.C.

The boys were growing up well. Damon was three name days and already showing his Baratheon strength. Stannis caught him in the armory handling one of the blunt tourney swords. But the boy was clumsily wielding it, not being able to take it off the ground. Stannis reprimanded him but promised that one day he would be taught. But he shouldn't be looking for fights, he should be protecting his brother as he was younger. Damon listened to this advice, seemingly taking it in and acknowledged his father's words.

Cassandra was different though. She was polite all the time. Stannis knew she would grow to be a fine lady of whatever castle Robert wanted her to marry into. Recently Robert had been pondering about marrying Cassandra to Robb Stark, but Stannis put an end to that. He would never wed his daughter to a Northerner, not in a thousand years.

Richard was two name days old. He was a quiet baby, but eventually he came out of his shell. He was always happy whenever his mother was around. It was clear to Stannis that Richard was Selyse's favorite, though he didn't mind. She spent time with both their sons. He did as well, mostly with Damon as he was teaching him to be a just and honorable Lord of Dragonstone. Though in Stannis' mind he hoped that Robert would give him back Storm's End. When Stannis was with Richard the boy at least smiled at him and it wasn't forced. Stannis seemed to really care for all of his children and hoped they would have good futures ahead of them.

He was spending some time with them in the Painted Table. Selyse had gotten pregnant again and was due to give birth. It had been two years since he laid with her, they agreed to not have another child for at least two years. Cressen once again came to the room telling them the good news. Stannis took the boys and went to Selyse's chambers. What he found, he was astonished. Selyse had given birth to another set of twins. The children were eager to meet their new siblings and they ran to the bed. Damon jumped with ease. Richard couldn't reach it and Cassandra tried to bring him up only for Stannis to pick him up and seat him next to their mother.

"Easy you three. Your mother is tired, you need to be gentle with the babes." Stannis said firmly.

"Yes papa." They all said in unison.

"My sons, my girl, meet your new brother and sister." Stannis looked at her shocked. A boy and a girl? The gods must be smiling on them to give them three sons and two daughters. "Husband do you want to name your children?"

"I'll name one. You can name the other. It's only fair." Selyse smiled and held the girl closer to her.

"Shireen for the girl."

"Markus for the boy." Stannis said.

The boys grew closer to their parents and for the first time, Stannis started to feel like this was how a family was supposed to be.

298 A.C.

All the boys and the girls were all doing well in the capital and in Dragonstone Stannis let his family out of Dragonstone for a few years. And most of their time was spent at the capital as Stannis was Master of Ships. All the boys were excelling in their studies both mentally and physically. Damon was taught personally by Stannis himself in military strategies and tactics, while Richard was taught by his father and Jon Arryn. Markus did those things as well, but also read a lot along with Shireen, but he was more reserved out of the three. Often times he would be picked on by the other boys at court but his brothers would step in and fend them off. This developed a bond between the three brothers that no matter what, they would be together.

Everything was peaceful, for a time. The Greyjoys rebelled against the throne and Stannis did his duty to help his brother repel the "invasion." Ever since his return all three boys wanted to train even harder to be as good as their father. Stannis warned them however, that just because they can fight and are brave, doesn't mean that they should go looking for trouble. But all of it changed when Jon Arryn died. Once Stannis heard that Robert was heading North with the Royal Family, Stannis got his own family out of King's Landing for fear that the Lannisters would destroy them.

But he would not let them. They would pay for their crimes and only Stannis would serve them justice. His family, the true stags of House Baratheon would prevail against the lions and any who would stand against them. Then, the realm will know peace.
