House of The Dragon One Shot Collection

Thank You /Daemon Targaryen/

Seeing you on the bed, looking like a Goddess, Daemon nearly fell to his knees.

Seeing you holding his son, smiling gently at him, Daemon swore this was a dream.

But it wasn't.

He was away on business when the news came to him, the thing he feared when he left came true, you went into labour.

Caraxes never flew as quickly as he did that day.

Daemon needed to get to you, his sweet wife and child.

But he was late when he arrived a maid let him know that you have already given birth as you were now resting.

Daemon nearly tripped over five times before he could reach your sleeping chambers.

In there, he found you leaning against the many pillows all warm and comfortable as you held your child.

You looked down at them, smiling softly, Daemon nearly choked.

You looked absolutely gorgeous. He could feel his knees giving out when you looked up at him, quickly closing the door behind himself, you offered him the same smile as you did to your child moments before.

"Look, your Father's here." you said to the baby who raised their hand, you grabbed it, placing a kiss on his little fingers. "My Love, do you want to hold him?" you looked at Daemon who was now standing beside you, and he could only nod.

You moved a bit in the bed, allowing him to join you and he did.

"Wait." he said before he removed his harsh jacket, leaving him in his soft shirt. Then, he pulled the baby into his arms. No doubt it was his son he was holding. The child was a spitting image of Daemon.

"He looks just like you, and behaves like you as well." he looked at you with a question in his eyes. "When the nurse tried to take him to wash, he cried so much they had to give him back to me. Then he was meant to go to the nurse but again, he cried until he was given back to me."

"You must be tired, if he demanded your attention so much."

"I am, but I also wanted to wait for you. We need to think of a name. And he is just the cutest little man." you raised your hand, catching a tear from his eye as he looked at his heir. You watched as your husband kissed the baby's forehead and belly, making him giggle.

"Thank you." he said with such a soft voice only you could hear it. You knew exactly what he meant.

Thank you for being so strong and gifting me a son.
The child yawned just as you did.

"Sleep now, I got him. We will name him once you are rested." It was your turn for a forehead kiss as you cuddled into his side. Daemon smiled as both of you fell asleep in his arms.

Daemon could finally let out the breath he didn't even realize he was holding.

Knowing both his son and wife were healthy and safe, he could finally relax.
