30 Predictions for Game of Thrones Season 7
By Sarah Weymes
15) Cersei will order Jaime to give her another child
As the meme goes, Cersei came here to blow things up and love her children… and she’s all out of children. But, as Cersei has told us before, her children are her only reason for living, and her role as their mother was the only thing that prevented her from throwing herself to her death. As dark as she is, and as low as she stoops to take what she wants, nobody watching the show has ever doubted her love for Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen.
Cersei now reigns supreme over Westeros and its many kingdoms. This means that she and Jaime no longer need to hide their true relationship from the world. Hell, she can marry him if she wants to — she’s the ruling monarch, which means she makes the law, which means marrying whoever she wants and naming whoever she likes as her heir. Monarchs need heirs to inherit their thrones, and Cersei is more than aware of this.
With this in mind, it’s not difficult to believe that Cersei will decide to have another child by him, a child who could be acknowledged by his or her father and serve as her successor should she pass away.
What’s doubtful is that Jaime will agree to it. Seasons 3 – 6 have seen a shift in his personality as he struggled to figure out who he is away from Cersei (who he is = madly in love with Brienne of Tarth) and as she insulted, derided and rejected him on a regular basis. His loyalty to her and to his family may keep him by her side for a while longer, but it’s unlikely that he’ll agree to father another of her children. And while nobody could blame him for that, Cersei is certainly not likely to take it well.
