12. Darling

''Father?'' Rhaenyra asked approached his bed Viserys lay with wheezing breaths in his lungs.

" Who goes there?" Viserys questioned disoriented.

"Father. It's me, my King." Rhaenyra said sitting beside him on the bed. ''Rhaenyra.'

''Oh... Oh.'' Viserys answered opening his eyes

''I'm here with Daemon.'' Rhaenyra went on

''Daemon? Daemon?'' Viserys said recognizing the name but finding it hard to place it. ''Daemon.'' He agreed his brother. Viserys wheezed again. 'Help me up.'' With a groan Rhaenyra got him sitting up in bed his pillows propped up behind him.

''It has been so long.'' Viserys said with a heavy breath.

''The Sea Snake has taken a grave wound in battle in the Step stones."

''When?' Viserys questioned

''We won that war years ago.' Daemon reminded him

''No.'' Viserys said confused.

''The Triarchy is resurgent. The fighting is anew. And there is a p... There is a petition to decide upon the succession of Driftmark and the heir to the Driftwood Throne. Rhaenyra informed him and Viserys sighed deeply.

"Petitions? Alicent and Otto... they see to all that business now." Viserys remarked.

'' No, brother, listen to me. You are to affirm your position for Lucerys to be Corlys Velaryon's successor." Daemon told him as the door swung open.

''Has something happened to Lord Corlys?'' Viserys questioned and Rhaenyra turned at the sound of her babies babbling behind them.

''Father... there's someone we wish to introduce you to. '' Rhaenyra told him as he counited with his labored breathing before them. He didn't look like a king anymore. His face weathered his eye gone, he was weak and fading quickly.

''Daemon.''

''Brother.'' Daemon answered softly.

''Who is that?' Viserys questioned looking to the silver haired babe before him

''Father... this is Aegon."

"Aegon." Viserys said through an exhale, his lung thick.

"And this... is Viserys." Rhaenyra told him

" Ah... Viserys. Oh." Viserys choked out a laugh. ''Now that is a name fit for a king.'' He laughed out but soon started coughing, the children were scared of his face. ''Oh... Oh, oh... Oh, I'm sorry.' Viserys said as the babies started crying. ''Oh, I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry.'' Viserys repeated. ''I'm so... Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sor... Please.'' Viserys took a heavy breath and mouthed. ''My tea... My tea.''

''What tea? This?'' Rhaenyra asked looking down at it.

''Yes. Yes. Yes.'' Viserys agreed taking a long sip as the children kept screaming.

"Oh my GOD!" Uri declared her arms over her head as they flew. "I've flown before but nothing like this!" she said shouting over the whipping wind around them. Aemond kept a tight hold of her waist as they flew.

"You are something else Uri.' Aemond remarked his lips on her ear as he spoke, she tilted her head just slightly and he swore flames flickered in her eyes.

"This is the best day ever." Uri told him.

"Could I make it better?" Aemond asked kissing her neck she leaned back into him.

"You can certainly try." Uri agreed.

Wrapping his hand around the back of her neck and pulling her to him their lips molded together. He pulled her into him and Uri brought a hand back to his chin her thighs tightened on Vhagars back, leaning back against his shoulder with her head in the crook of his neck. He was supporting her with one arm around her, the other across her lower body with his hand trailing under her shirt pulling at the button on her jeans.

"What are you wearing?" Aemond questioned breathlessly.

"What?" Uri questioned.

"Pants. Its strange." Aemond remarked and Uri couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips.

"Oh God where did I end up." She murmured kissing him again, long kisses and bites along her neck. His hand buried between her legs, his fingers nestled deep inside her while his thumb rubbed in slow, agonizing little circles on her clit. Uri opened her mouth wordlessly.

'Problem?" he questioned his voice a purr in her ear. Her voice stuck in her throat as she tipped her head back into him, his chuckle vibrated along her spine adding to the pleasure. But Vhagar swooped down and Uri faced forward, it was like a roller coaster which she assumed did not exist in this realm. Aemond pulled his hand free and wrapped his hands around her tighter as Vhagar moved quickly through the sky. When he pulled away slightly leaving her feeling on the verge before that feeling faded quickly.

'Plenty of time for that darling.' Aemond told her. His arms encircling her gave her a deep and comforting sense of something she had never felt before, being protected...nurtured...loved.
