The year was now 115 AC, and Alicent and Daemon had celebrated the birth of their first daughter, Helaena. Alicent named her daughter after the girl she considered a sister, and when she and Daemon spoke about having more children, Daemon said.
"The next daughter we have will be named after your mother."
It had been a comfort for Alicent, but it was just one of many things she had to worry about. Throughout her pregnancy with Helaena, she had seen many things that hadn't happened. She saw a young woman with silver hair in braids, wearing a blue dress and boots, and three dragons with black, gold and green scales commanding an army of men wearing black helmets holding spears and shields.
Alicent saw a woman with golden hair and a red dress with golden lions scream at a golden-headed dwarf wearing red with the gold lions while she had a younger golden-haired boy with a crown near his purple corpse.
A man named Ned spoke before the small folk and in front of a Sept, with a redheaded girl standing beside the gold-haired woman and boy with the crown and calling himself 'King Joffrey', and in the crowds, a little brunette girl watched as Ned's head fell from his shoulders, white doves flew in the sky and blood rained onto the people in front of the gruesome scene.
A dark-haired boy with wolf furs in a wheeled chair, but his eyes were white, and his head fell back, and a redheaded young woman was sitting on a horse alongside a dark-haired man with a beard and brown eyes. The whispers she heard. "Through your kin lies the Prince That Was Promised."
Alicent's dreams stopped when Helaena was born, but she couldn't shake what she saw. Who were those people? Why was there a Lannister King called Joffrey? What did this have to do with her family?
Helaena was an easier birth, and Daemon had been in the room, which the maesters argued until the Prince threatened to kill the person daring to remove him from the room.
Aegon had been waiting outside with his nursemaid until Daemon opened the door and ushered them inside. The two-year-old got lifted to sit on the bed with his mother and baby sister.
"Sister?" Aegon asked his parents.
Daemon confirmed his son's question. "Yes, Egg, that's your little sister."
"Her name is Helaena." Alicent smiled at her little family as Helaena wriggled in her mother's arms, her eyes slowly opening to reveal lavender-coloured eyes.
"She's as beautiful as her mother." Daemon stared at his two girls. Alicent smiled and leaned to kiss her husband as Aegon stared at his baby sister, who stared back at him.
"Helaena, this is your brother, Aegon."
Helaena whined as she waved her chubby arms at her brother, who looked at his parents.
It had been 12 weeks when Viserys sent a wedding invitation to the couple, who both assumed it was Viserys' to Laena since the wedding was between a Targaryen and Velaryon, so one can only imagine the surprise when they saw Rhaenyra and Laenor's names instead.
Since the wedding would occur later in the evening, they figured they'd take their children and leave them in the Red Keep's nursery. The journey was long as they went by ship instead of flying on Caraxes as Alicent. While trusting that Caraxes would protect Daemon's kids and wife, they wanted to wait until Aegon, Helaena, and Sunfyre were older before the family could fly on the dragons.
Ser Criston Cole was waiting with four other Kingsguard members to escort the small family to the Red Keep. Daemon had gotten off, holding baby Helaena in his arms while Alicent helped Aegon get off the ship safely onto the docks. Ser Criston walked towards them.
