The Mother of Kin and Keeper of Blood

•Sisters in Arms•

Two years later.

Vaemrys watched Alicent and rhaenyra. Rhaenyra has been very stern with the new queen. Vaemrys didn't blame her, in their eyes, them and the whole family...Alicent had bewitched viserys, their father.

Daemon had been fighting the war in the step stones for about three years now, Vaemrys couldn't deny that she was worried.

The Royal Hunt, in favor of aegons second name Day.

Alicent had given viserys the idea as well.

Vaemrys held rhaegon and Vhaegon, her two year old twins, in her arms. They were now in the carriage, Vaemrys kept her focus on her children, she had taken two servant girls. Whom she had put through many tests and quizzes for her trust, sat in the seats on the other side of Aegar and vaemron. She only looked up with interest for the conversation when the topic of Rhaenyra's future was brung up.

"Well, you will be with your own child sooner than late and make me an even prouder grandsire", viserys smiled at rhaenrya, Aegar, vaemron, and the twins. Rhaenyra gave a confused and mocking look to viserys. Vaemrys watched her father with a rested expression. He could never read his daughter, she was a closed book with a lock on it at the highest shelf of a library, it took a lot to get her to open up most of the time. Especially as of late, since the discussion with daemon on dragonstone...she hasn't quite been the same.

"It's not so bad. The days are long but aegon came quickly and without fuss", Alicent chimed in. Everyone looked around to each other in the awkward silence.

Vaemrys looked to Alicent. Rhaenrya turned her head to Vaemrys, "was your pregnancy, not so bad, sister?", rhaenyra asked. Vaemrys looked out the window.

Vaemrys put her hands on the wall of her room and screamed out in pain. The midwives tried to follow her around the room but she kept moving and trying positions. Viserys stood outside her chambers pacing back and fourth. Each time his daughter screamed in pain he winced at the sound. She was on her knees in front of her bed. "Please, please, please! Come out!", she yelled and cried. She has moved to her bed when she finally gave birth, the midwives all calmed down and helped her clean the baby off, after a few seconds she began screaming again.

Her long hair was drenched in sweat and tears, "another one!", she screamed in pure agony. The midwives tried shushing the crying baby that was born moments before. Vaemrys clawed at the stone walls and grabbed a cloth from the midwives. She put the cloth in her mouth to muffle the screams and laid on her bed. She inhaled and pushed with all of her might.

The midwives caught the second baby. Vaemrys turned over in her bed slowly. "T-twin boys, your highness!", Emily yelled. "Princess,What will you name them?", marina asked. Vaemrys held her arms out for her sons and held them on each arm. They were snuggling onto her and she couldn't help but smile. "Vhaegon and Rhaegon", she smiled down at them with tired eyes.

She looked down and held her babies hands in her own. Rhaegon lifted his mothers right hand up to his mouth to chew on her knuckles. She laughed softly and held the two boys closer.

"You should ride out with me today. Join in the chase", viserys suggested. "I'd rather not. The boars squeak liek children when they're being slaughtered", rhaenyra responded. "I find it discomforting", she ended.

"It's a hunt, rhaenyra.", viserys said. Aegon was getting louder between Alicent and viserys. Vaemron covered his ears and leaned onto aegars shoulder. Aegar huffed and looked to rhaenyra who kept her eyes on viserys. "How would you like to participate?", viserys asked her. "I'm not sure why I must", rhaenyra said. "Because you are my youngest daughter, The Princess and you have duties", viserys reminded her. "As I am ceaselessly reminded", rhaenyra stated and turned her head away from her father.
