I don't think Brienne will have Jaime's child.

At the battle, he is given a debilitating wound by Oswin Osgrey and retreats in disgrace.

His host sets out upon a warpath and wins bloody victory after victory, starting at Red Lake. Lannister links up with Tarly and Hightower at Highgarden and marches northward along the Mander. At the Battle of the Fallen Stags, Jason Lannister personally kills Durran Durrandon and both of his sons. He then takes the newly made King Axel Durrandon, Durran's brother, hostage after his fourth victorious duel of the day. The war is over following the battle, and the West and Reach know peace with one another for a short time.The Backbone War109AA: Named for what King Tywin lacked, the King was pushed into a war with a supposedly weakened Riverlands, led by a feeble King.

He took Stoney Sept, and held Riverrun as punishment for the Gardeners. He held skirmishes against the Riverlands for over a decade. Eventually, a coalition of Stormlands, Reach, and what was left of the Riverlanders formed to fight off the ilk of Lannister's reign.
Although able to hold them off for years at both the Golden Tooth and the woods around Crakehall, King Cerion eventually fell at the Battle of the Broken Lion and his son promptly surrendered.The Lannister Civil War206 AA: Also known as the Pride War. Although short, the Lannister civil war was a bloody affair where brothers fought brothers and the Lannisters tried to tear each other apart. Upon discovering that King Lancel Lannister had no interest in women, his younger brother Kevan declared an open revolt in an attempt to take the Golden Throne.
Loyalties were divided, with most (though not all) of the Northern Westerlands siding with Kevan, and Lancel relying on the support of a few important houses in the south. Both sides attempted to engage in minor skirmishes with the other, and eventually take the castles of the lords loyal to either side, but were stranded from all other assistance.In the end, they meet at a battle outside Lannisport (the Battle of Lannisport) where King Lancel kills his brother Kevan in combat, ending the war. However, Lancel receives a mortal wound by Kevan's bastard son, Tywin Hill.Times of Troubles210 AA - 215 AA: After King Tytos Lannister is (some say mercifully) killed during the Great Spring Sickness, there are no legitimate Lannister heirs left to rule.
A war with multiple warring parties broke out, and the West was overrun by war, chaos, and banditry for almost five years. A total of five claimants tried to take the West as their own, but only three are of any note:Tywin Hill: Son of Kevan Lannister and known as 'Kingslayer' for the mortal wound he gave to Good King Lancel. Reluctantly announced his intentions for the Rock and in order to undo the damage he had done to the kingdom.Damon Crakehall: A grizzled commander with many victories under his belt, and a close personal friend of King Lancel Lannister.
Declares his intention for the Rock in honor of his good friend (and some say more than just a friend), Lancel.Jason Reyne: The last remaining supporter of Kevan Lannister, Jason previously acted as a unified voice for the remaining supporters of the Rebel Lion that refused to accept the rule of a bastard or a sword swalloer. Declared his intention for the Rock on account of his power, status, and popular support.The final battle starts out with two minor claimants, Hoster Lannet and Janos Kenning, being killed rather quickly through treacherous means. House Lefford immediately declares for Tywin Hill after the disasterous incident with Hoster Lannet, the claimant they had originally backed. Although only one major house, it captures Reyne's notice and he halts any and all attacks against Crakehall's forces. After several indecisive battles, Reyne and Tywin Hill finally meet each other on the field of battle. With both sides knowing they did not have enough soldiers for a fierce battle, they agree to fight each other in a Trail by Combat; whoever won would be King by choice of the Gods.Tywin Hill emerged victorious, however, it appeared the sides were preparing to recreate the Lannister Civil War, with the North versus the South. At a repeat of the Battle of Lannisport, Tywin Hill once again fights against the leader of the South, mere yards away from where he fought Lancel years ago.
Unlike last time, he was victrious and captured Damon Crakehall, alive.
