Drama Queen // Otto Hightower // Thea Queen

26. End of My Happiness

Princess Charming / Aemond / Daemon Out now!

"Ahhh," Thea whined crying out. "This is the end, this is the end of my happiness and freedom as I know it." 

"What's wrong?" Otto questioned moving to her. She held out a foot. 

"I can't put my shoes on!" Thea cried out. Otto chuckled taking her foot and helping her with her shoes. "There goes my independence, I can't put my fucking shoes on." Otto kissed her temple and she leaned into him. "I'm a ball. I'm a damn ball. I'm useless, there goes my-"

"It's not the end of the world." Otto assured

"Says you! Have you ever not been able to put your shoes on because you physically could not reach your damn foot!" Thea shouted. 

"Well, I could tell you the answer to that but then it would give away my age." Otto mused. When he threw out his back, he wasnt an old man but trying to compete with his sons he felt old and the pain in his back that had him in bed for a few days.

"Oh, no please do tell me of your humiliating old man problems to make me feel better about myself." Thea teased leaning into him. 

"Theres that smile." Otto whispered and she blushed. He kissed her again and she leaned into him. 

"I feel disgusting." Thea whispered against his lips. 

"You are perfect." Otto corrected his lips meetings her again when there was a knock at the door. 

"Are you decent?" Roys voice traveled through the door. "I would come in but pregnant women are not my cup of tea and I want to keep the image I have crafted of a naked Thea in my mind clear and not clouded by the reality of her current-"

"I will beat your-" Thea hesitated, she couldnt put her shoes on, she could barely beat anyones ass right now. "I will have Oliver beat your ass, Roy." Thea warned. 

"I'm taking that as you are decent." he pushed open the door and Otto rolled his eyes. 

"Alicent had a baby. Another boy." Roy remarked tossing the scroll down. 

"That's.... I would say nice but I'm still not a baby person." Thea remarked. 

"You are about to have a baby, my love." Otto reminded her as he read over the scroll. 

"Dont remind me." Thea groaned as she tipped back on the bed. Otto ran a hand over her thigh as he read. Roy looked between them curiously. 

"So are you going to go visit the babe?" Roy pondered. "We will keep a good eye on Thea."  he assured. 

"No." Otto corrected. "Aemond will have to wait until our own child is born."

"Aemond?" Thea questioned. "That's... cute I suppose." Otto chuckled. "You can go visit her though, she's your daughter."

"Yours now too." Otto corrected and Thea groaned. 

"No, because I'm not a mother, I'm not a grandmother. The moment your daughter becomes mine, I'm an old lady like you and that is not happening." Thea corrected. 

"Sexy grandmother." Roy offered with a smirk. 

"Those two words do not belong together." Thea corrected. Thea hissed out a breath as she ran a hand over her stomach. 

"Are you alright?" Otto questioned. 

"No, no... I mean yes. I'm fine just... the whole shoe thing is still upsetting me." Thea remarked as her feet pointed and flexed in Roys direction.

"Lady Thea, you're 7 centimeters dilated, 100% effaced. How long ago did your water break?"

"What? I was freaking the fuck out you honestly think I was paying attention to the time!" Thea spat back. 

"About an hour, hour and-" Otto remarked and Thea groaned out. "7 this morning, I think. But Thea is not a morning person. She said it would wait for her." Oliver chuckled. 

"This baby is coming out sideways." Thea decided. "The little fucker."

" No, it just feels like that. Your fetus is facing up instead of down." The maester remarked. 

"Fucking hell." Thea muttered.  "Something's wrong? That's what that means?"

"No. Baby's just moving around, letting us know that it is time to come out." Theas jaw chattered anxiously. 

"Oh, my God. Otto, this baby is coming." Thea whimpered. 

"You are going to be a mom today." Otto agreed. 

"You know I think I changed my mind, I'm fine with keeping this kid hostage in me forever. Lets just-" Thea groaned out. "-tell the kid no and I'm not really ready yet." 

"You are ready." 

"I dont feel ready." Thea corrected. Oliver held tight to her sisters hand. 

"I get it. It's a big day. You know, a lot of new experiences all happening at once. But, Lady Thea, this is not new for me. I have been here many, many times, and I know exactly how to help you and your husband get through this."

"Thank you... but this is me being bad with children and elderly. I was never meant to be a mother." Thea remarked. "So just... tell it to wait. Just to fucking wait until I'm ready."

"I can't do that." 

"Then get it out of me." Thea demanded. 

"I can't do that either. Your body is not ready-"

"I thought you just said it was!" Thea sobbed out. "Why does it hurt so much, I kept this little shit safe for moons and this is how it repays me?" 

"Drama, deep breaths." Oliver instructed. "Who are you?" 

"Thea Fuckin' Queen." She grit out. 

"And what are you?" 

"Fuckin royalty."

"Does my Drama Queen run from a bit of adventure?"

"No." Thea agreed. 

"Biggest adventure of a lifetime."
