Little Devil / Viserys Targaryen / Tommy Shelby

20. I Am Your Mother

Aislynn thought she would be the hands on mum but she slept through Aegons cries for food or a changing after the fifth sleepless night.

Her eyes peeled open and there was a baby gnawing at her teat. She looked to Viserys beside her a hand running through her hair.

"Good morning," viserys whispered.

"Did I wake up and grab him?" Aislynn questioned as aegons hands fisted her hair as he sucked away.

"No. Your brother brought him in. Changed him too." Viserys remarked. "You have some good brothers Aislynn."

"They are your family too now." Aislynn remarked stroking aegons little back. "I was sleeping great." Aislynn remarked as she closed her eyes. "I wish I was still asleep."

"You go back to sleep. I got Aegon." Viserys assured. But aegon and aislynn both fell back asleep together.

Aislynn thought she would be hands on let no nanny or hand maiden touch her baby but she found that being the queen and a wife was hard work plus juggling two men.

Tommy hated keeping his distance. Hated that the world was watching Aislynn. She had to preform. She was good at performing she was an actress. When they were at old town they had privacy and got to pretend it was just them but here it wasnt just then. Aislynn was the queen. She had meetings and banquets and galas and feasts and every day was something new.

They were having a party for Aegon. Aislynn wore her prettiest green dress put aegon in a little green bow tie.

"Handsomest little boy in the world!" Aislynn declared. Finn peered in as Aislynn put aegon on her hip. He stared back at her wide eyed.

"Mum?" Finn questioned.

"We have to get going honey." Aislynn remarked. "I think I can get about an hour in him before he needs to eat or shit or sleep."

"We can talk and walk." Finn assured.

"My boy." Aislynn agreed. "Lets boogie- hells im becoming father." Aislynn murmured.

"Mum, whats it like being queen? Being a mum?"

"Im already a mum. To you." Aislynn corrected as they headed to the banquet hall.

"But like... you pushed him from you," Finn whispered semi disgusted. 

"I feel like I carried you with me for nine moons after mother pushed you out." Aislynn remarked. "You wouldnt let go of me tried to feed off me too." Finn blushed embarrassed. "Oh honey I love you so much. You know that it doesnt matter how many babies I have. You are my boy. Mine. My Finny."

"All hail prince Aegon!"

"Less shouting." Aislynn corrected as they entered. "Hes a baby and you are a stranger to him."

"Sorry your grace." The steward remarked. Aislynn smiled sweetly at him.

"Oh tommy!" Aislynn declared. "Hi handsome."  She added softly.

"Hi beautiful-"

"Aislynn my dear!" Viserys declared. Tommy bit back a smile. "Stunning as always." Aislynn tossed her hair over her shoulder.

"Thank you." Aislynn agreed.

"Come. Let us celebrate!" Viserys held out a drink for her and she gladly took it.

"To Aegon." Aislynn agreed.

"To Aegon." Viserys echoed kissing her. Aislynn leaned into him. Tommy grit his teeth.

"This is so lovely." Otto remarked coming up to alicent and Rhaenyra.

"This cake is lovely." Rhaenyra remarked taking a bite.

"Rhaenyra doesnt jest about cake father."  Alicent remarked hooking her arm with Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra smirked licking her lips. "Im going to check on Lynnie." Alicent remarked heading off. Rhaenyra nodded peering around.

"Hey babe." Aislynn said kissing alicents head. "You get enough to eat? Foods great right?"

"You sound like such a mum." Alicent mused.

"That's because I am." Aislynn agreed. "Cole, eat a cookie." Aislynn instructed as he passed. "Its an order." she added. Criston smiled grabbing a cookie from the table. "Good boy." She coed. Criston smiled as he headed off. Aislynn noticed Rhaenyras stare and she nudged Alicent. Alicent looked to Rhaenyra, seeing her blushing at Criston as he passed but Criston didnt look twice at her. 

Aislynn chuckled and Rhaenyra caught them staring at her. She moved through the people her head held high. 

"What are you laughing at?" Rhaenyra questioned. 

"Your clear infatuation with Criston." Aislynn offered. 

"What? Me? No... never..." Rhaenyra corrected. 

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Aislynn agreed. "He is a fine looking man." Aislynn assured. 

"I'm the princess," Rhaenyra whispered as if that was the part of this conversation that should be quiet. 

"And I am the queen." Aislynn agreed. "I have eyes, I'm not fucking him but I can admire a good looking man when he walks my way. Or walks away..." she countered a grin covering her beautiful face. 

"Lynnie you are embarrassing her!" Alicent declared as Rhaenyra's face flushed red. 

"Talk to him." Aislynn suggested. 

"Why would he look twice at me when here you are looking all gorgeous?" Rhaenyra countered. 

"I'm married and you arent." Aislynn answered simply. 

"He thinks of me as a child." Rhaenyra murmured. 

"You are a child." Aislynn agreed ruffling her hair. 

"Stop mothering me." Rhaenyra murmured. 

"I am your mother. You listen to me... now go have a grown up conversation with Criston Cole. Go." Aislynn instructed nudging Rhaenyra along. "I am your mother, dont make me spank you." 

"I'm going!" Rhaenyra whined.
