When Love Lasts (Aemond Targaryen)

Problems, problems

...

  ~A few days after our wedding were filled with nothing but love. We had time just for the two of us. No one bothered us. We went for rides with our dragons, I have never felt so free. We went and did what we wanted. Aemond lifted me to the heavens with his love. I felt so loved. I forgot all my worries and indulged in enjoyment.

We made love in all the places we would visit. He could have me whenever he wanted and however he wanted. Bent on a table, nailed to a wall, in a cave, in a field, absolutely everywhere. Our sighs were heard everywhere.

- I think it's time to slowly return to our obligations, no matter how difficult it may be.
Said Aemond

- Unfortunately, I agree with you.

We got ready and headed to the small council meeting.

- Queen Aemma and her king consort Aemond of House Targaryen.

Only Rhaegar and Otto were waiting for us in the room.

- Where are the others?

- Everyone is on their duties.

- Your Grace, a letter has arrived from Winterfell. Spoke Otto

- Finally, what does it say?

- That your sister Varya married Lord Cregan Stark.

I was overcome with sadness because I did not attend her wedding, and neither did she attend mine.

- That's good news.
Aemond answered for me

- Yes.
Confirmed by Rhaegar

- Do you have any more news for us, what happened while we were away?

- Nothing worth mentioning. Could I ask you to leave me with my sister for a while?
Rhaegar asked and Otto and Aemond left.

Before he stood up, Aemond whispered to me:
- I want to rip that dress.
I blushed a little and smiled.

Rhaegar came up to me and gave me a big hug.

- I didn't get a chance to see you properly during the celebration and after.

- We are together now.

- Aemma, nothing will ever be the same. My future wife arrives in Kings Landing tomorrow, same goes for Maegor and you, you are married now, you are expected to give birth to your heir soon.

I did not expect that this conversation would go in this direction. I love children very much, I spent a lot of time with Helaena's children and I am the oldest of my relatives, so I was always surrounded by children. But now that I have reached the age where I should have my own, it has become very scary.

- I believe you didn't expect us to talk about this, believe me, I'm as embarrassed as you are, but I know you're scared.

My eyes watered.

- I am sure you will be a wonderful mother so there is no room for fear. We will all be there with you and...

I cut him off in the middle of a sentence.

- I can see you mean well, but Rhaegar I don't plan on having a child anytime soon.

- That is expected of you.

- I'm not ready.

- Aemma...

- That's how our mother passed away Rhaegar!
I shouted.

- The very act of giving birth scares me, absolutely everything can go wrong.
I answered him through tears, and he held me close to him and tried to calm me down.
