Perfection was an illusion and Blyana Hightower had her own demons she was struggling with when she arrived at the capital. She felt broken from her past and didnt want to be defined by her diagnosis. Perhpas a man deemed as broken could be the one...
Blyana was in a state of awe. She was late, she was going to be a mother. Or was she? Maybe it was a strange condition, something new, she had always been spotty with her bleedings but she had been more regular... this had to be a good sign, she needed it to be. SHe wanted to be a mother.
"Lets do a test." Alicent decided. Blyana never thought she would be so happy to pee on barley. She lifted her skirt and waited.
"I think its... Blyana!" Alicent declared.
"Am I? Thats a happy scream right?" Blyana countered as she stared down at the blooming barley. "Heck yes!" Blyana agreed. "Wait thats a good thing right?"
"You are pregnant!" Alicent declared.
"Heck yeah!" Blyana agreed. ALicent laughed out as Blyana started up her happy dance.

"You are going to be a great mother Bly."
"You like these moves? Should I start teaching them to Aegon so he can be cool like me?" Blyana teased.
"Yes, I think he will think you a God." Alicent laughed out.
"Ali, I'm gonna be a mum." Blyana said her arms settling at her sides. "Ali..."
"Happy tears." Blyana agreed. "I have to tell larys!"
Blyana was running, she didnt run. She didnt like to run. It made her dizzy but she was so excited and walking wouldnt do. Her head was spinning but she was almost there.
"Daddy!" Blyana declared colliding with his chest.
"I know I'm supposed to go home but I just dont want to." Otto countered.
"Daddy I'm pregnant!" Blyana declared and his eyes went wide as he cradled her to him.
"My baby is having a baby." Otto whispered kissing her forehead. "Oh honey, you are going to be a great mum."
"I have to tell Larys. I was--" Blyana huffed out a breath her running down the halls catching up with her. "with ALi and we did a test with barley and I need to tell Larys."
"Take a breath my love. I will walk with you" Otto suggested.
"No walking, this is a run worthy news." Blyana countered.
"You know you can't-"
"I know but I can collapse into bed when I find him and tell him the good new." Blyana countered.
"I will still go with you." Otto corrected.
"Okay... I'm a bit worn out from that." Blyana admitted as she leaned heavily into him.
"I know some days you feel great my love but you can't push yourself or you get these set backs... I just want you to be happy and healthy, and I know it's unfair that you can't do things like everyone else, that you need to rest more, that your childhood was stolen from you but you know... you know." Otto whispered.
"I know." She agreed. "Do you think the baby is going to be sick like me?"
"I dont know my love." Otto admitted.
"Larys hasnt seen me at my worst... he's seen me close to it and still loves me. What if he realizes I'm not worth the hassle?" Blyana questioned her steps slowing as they approached their chambers.
"Then he is not the man of your dreams." Otto offered. "If he doesnt love you enough to-"
"I think he does, I know he loves me-" She corrected. "-but everyone has their limit." Blyana countered.
"Not for true love and I see real love in your eyes when you are with him, when you speak to him, and of him," Otto remarked and Blyana smiled to herself. "Dont doubt or worry my love, he will love you forever I see it in his eyes too."
"Thanks daddy."
"ALright now get in there-" Otto nodded to the door when three handmaidens ran past them shouting that the princess began her labors.
"She is always stealing my limelight." Blyana remarked as she watched the handmaidens disappear. Larys peaked out and saw Blyana and Otto in the hallway.
"Is someone hurt? I heard yelling?" Larys remarked reaching out for Blyana.
"Rhaenyra is giving birth apparently and I'm pregnant Larys." Blyana offered calmly.
"Rhae- You are pregnant?" Larys rasped giving her a little squeeze.
"I am." Blyana agreed as he kissed her. "We are going to be parents Larys."
That night Larys and Blyana celebrated, that morning Rhaenyra finally gave birth to another black haired little boy. She named him Lucarys.
