Aemonds pov
Here we are awaiting my nephews and sister and daemon and my new niece. Talks of her being the heir after rhaenyra due to the talk around the boys being bastards have already filled the court. It's been months since the girls birth. Visenya. Strong name. I wonder if she'll grow to be just like her namesake? I pause hearing familiar screeches. Caraxes, syrax, vermax and arrax are here. We wait for them to come and I see daemon in riding clothes with a bundle. He rode caraxes with her? That makes her the youngest to ever ride a dragon.

I pause realizing there's no new eggs being laid and she doesn't have a dragon. Just like me. I watch my mother take the bundle from daemon who's reluctant and watching warily. My mother smiles "she was early right?" Rhaenyra nods "the news of my fathers passing made me labor early. The maester said she wasn't supposed to make it"

Visenya starts to wheeze and cough and it worries everyone...including me. I haven't been able to take my eyes off the bundle she's laid in. Rhaenyra takes her and coddles her and pats her back. "Rhaenyra I didn't do-" my mother says worried "it's alright alicent she's going to have some issues due to fluid in her lungs you did nothing wrong" rhaenyra assures. Jace says "I can hold her mother" smiling down at his sister. Rhaenyra says "yes that's best there's things we adults have to talk about. If you don't mind introduce your sister to her uncles and aunt" he nods taking the slightly wheezing visenya from her mother.

He comes over and helaena says "she will be the one" we turn waiting for her to say more but she doesn't. But she does take visenya and she coos "hi baby girl wow you're gorgeous already
I'm your aunt helaena" and talks about adventures they'll go on. Surprisingly aegon takes her next and is...soft "hello little niece. Wow you truly are a beauty. I'm your uncle aegon. If any fucker bothers you, you let me know and they'll go missing" never have I ever seen aegon soft. Not with someone who's not his kids. Surprisingly enough he's a good father.

I'm handed the baby and freeze. She really is a beauty. I chuckle "she's small" I note. Jace says watching us carefully "she came out early" I nod and chuckle as her little arm pops out the blanket and she stares at me and tugs at my hair slightly and I make the same promise to her silently that aegon made.

I'll never let anyone hurt her.
