Aemond places two hands on the sides of her face, but doesn't move wanting Rhaella to be the first. "We mustn't Aemond."
"I love you Rhaella, I always have" He says as he pulls away.
Rhaella Targaryen is the only true born child of Rhaenyra and Lean...
The sound of thunder clapped in the sky outside the keep. But inside the keep Rhaenyra birthing cries could be heard. Her screams triggering Syrax in the dragon pits.
Everyone crowded outside the door waiting for Rhaenyra to finish her birthing war, not caring for more than if the babe was to be a boy or girl. Although she never said it Rhaenyra was hoping for a boy. This child would be the heir to the iron throne and Driftmark if they were lucky. Rhaenyra knew how hard it was to be a women and heir so she hoped that her first born wouldn't have to go through the same troubles as she had.
Once again Rhaenyra screamed out in pain the sound of thunder in following suit, Leanor sat outside the door waiting for his child to be brought into the world. He had known about Rhaenyra's affairs with Ser Harein Strong but he had also preformed his marital act. Leanor didn't know how but he knew that the child Rhaenyra was having right now was his. Even if it wasn't he would still treat it the same but he could feel that this was his kid.
"Just a few more pushes, princess I can see the head." The maester shouts over the sounds of Rhaenyra screams along with her dragons, and the sound of thunder which showed no signs of calming any time soon. Before Rhaenyra's mother had died to told her that they had royal wombs and that the childbed was their battlefield of course being young Rhaenyra hadn't understood but now as she clutched the sheets in pain while pushing, she understood.
And after Rhaenyra's screams came to a stop the sounds of her first born child cries consumed the halls of the red keep. The sound of the thunder seemingly in sync with the babes cries.
At the sound Leanor was quick to his feet rushing into the room. "What is it?" He asked as the mid wife wrapped the babe into a blanket handing it to Rhaenyra . The moment the child was in the arms she broke into to tears.
"It's a girl." While a small part of her hand wish for a boy to be her first born she was still happy nonetheless to mother a child at all. Leanor smiled and leaned next to the bed to get a closer look at his daughter. Looking back up at him was a beautiful babe, his complexion, with purple eye a silver. He let out a sigh knowing that she was his child.
"We shall name her Rhaella." Rhaenyra declared, she had already made her mind up on the name since Leanor didn't much care because he would love her all the same.
In the coming years Rhaella would become known as the peoples true princess. Seeing that she was the only one who ever left the keeps walls and interacted with her people. Her smile was said to be contagious but even still she would do anything for her siblings.
The couple may not have know it yet be Rhaella would be their only true born child. So she would be the only one of their children who was seen as legitimate and wasn't called a bastard.
