Finding Love in War

The Calm Before The Storm ( A Couple of Years Later )

♡ Saera's Pov ♡

Their children were growing. Daenora was 4 going on 5 in 2 months. The twins Aelor and Rheagar were 2 going on 3.

I was walking to the Small Council to talk business with her father.

" Ahh, Saera, you've made it," Viserys said, smiling at me.

" Well, you ordered me to be here." I said.

" I didn't order you here."

" Then who did?" I asked.

" I did," Alicen said.

" Why?"

" Because we have to talk."

" We could talk in your room or in mine."

" We are at war."

" No, we used to be friends. Then you married my father and I left with my husband. You gave me a dirty look when Daemon and I announced that we were having our first child."

They stayed silent for a while.

" If you pull a stunt, it's war."

" I'm counting on it."

" Good."

I walked out of the room and to mine and Daemons.

I open the door to see Daemon holding the twins.

" Hey, you're back early."

" Yeah, well, my father wasn't the one that called me to the Small Council room."

" Then who did?" Daemon asked.

" My stepmother."

" Why?"

" Talking about how the both of us are at war with each other."

" Well, she married Viserys. She could have turned it down. But she didn't."

" But she didn't," I said, smiling as I continued to watch Daemon.

" You're good with them," I said, walking toward them.

" Well, I've had practice."

" Oh, I know, Daemon, I know."

I looked at my sons, carefully nested in Daemons arms.

" How long have they been asleep?" I asked.

" Not too long," Daemon answered.

" Here," I said, holding out my arms.

Daemon gave me Aelor as he continued to hold Rheagar.

" This is nice."

" Yeah, hopefully Alicent doesn't try anything," I said, walking to the window.

" Yeah, we can always go to Dragonstone."

" No, we wait."

" Why?" Daemon asked.

" If we run now, she might think that we are doing someone."

" The Game of Thrones."

" Yes, and we must play it."

" She'll try to do something."

" I know."

" I'll make a deal with you," I said.

" Ok."

" If Alicent tries something, then we will go to Dragonstone. But until then, we won't."

" Deal."

" Good."

There was a knock at the door.

" Enter," Daemon said.

" There is a man here wanting to speak to you."

" Let him in," I said.

" My lady."

" Who are you?" Daemon asked.

" I am Ser Harwin Strong."

" What do you want?" I asked.

" I have been ordered to protect you and your sister Rhaenyra Targaryen."

" Why both of us?" I asked.

" Your sister believes something will happen."

" Look, Alicent used to be my friend, but then she married my father. Now she hated Rhaenyra and I because our sons are more favored than hers."

" Yes, my Princess."

" Good, now when can you start?"

" Now, my princess."

" Good."

And with that, Ser Harwin Strong walked out of the room and left the husband and wife lone with their two sons.

" I'll have the maids come to get the boys," Daemon said.

" Ok," I said.

A couple of minutes later, the maids came and took the two boys' way.

" We will get through this, my love."

" I know, we're gotten through worse."

" Yes, we have, haven't we."

" Yes."

That night, they and Rhaenyra's family took their dinner somewhere else.

(NOTE: Sorry, I had writers block so much that I wasn't able to finish this part earlier. But it's done now, I hope you like it.)
