Little Devil / Viserys Targaryen / Tommy Shelby

25. Snazzy

"How do I look?" Aislynn questioned fluffing her hair. 

"Gorgeous as always." Tommy assured taking a step closer. "My Amoret." he put a hand on her stomach and her gaze shifted to his hand. Her own hand covered his. "You want to know?"

"I'm going to pop any moment now it seems." Aislynn remarked. "Let's let it be a surprise." Tommy nodded. "You read the leaves already with my last tea didnt you?" Aislynn realized. He pressed a kiss below her ear, whispering to her. 

"Yes." Tommy agreed. "But I can keep a secret." 

"Mum!" Finn declared running in, Tommy didnt let go of her, she knew they had to stop but breaking a habit like Tommy was just as hard said, as it was done.  "Party time!" 

"Look at you!" Aislynn declared. "You look so snazzy!" 

"Thanks, thats what I was going for." Finn agreed as he fixed his green bowtie. 

"You nailed it." Aislynn agreed pressing a kiss to his forehead. 

"I picked out a green bowtie for Aegon too," Finn remarked holding it up. "Can I put it on?" AIslynn hesitated, she knew Finn would never hurt Aegon but a tie around his little neck in Finn's unsteady hands worried her, Tommy saw that and quickly stepped in. 

"Can I help, those can be tricky." Tommy remarked. Finn shrugged. 

"John helped me with mine, you want one too?" Finn questioned. 

"I would." Tommy agreed.

' 'He has your hair, Your Grace.''

''He does have my hair.' Viserys agreed, targaryen's and their silver hair, unmistakable. But Aislynn's red mane gave the usually very silver hair some warmth. Aislynn's handsome little boy. She walked the buffet line as Aegon was doted on. He smiled back at her holding up a new toy he got to show her. Aislynn smiled back at him as she shoved a chip in her mouth. 

''He has your eyes, Your Grace.''

''Yes, he does.' Viserys agreed. 'And you have my nose, don't you?''

"Aislynn's nose." Arthur corrected. "No one wants your nose." he added as he passed. "John where is the good stuff?" 

''Two years old and already our boy has a kingly presence.'' Hobert Hightower remarked. 

'He may yet, brother, but this morning he insisted on eating porridge with his hands.' Otto mused.

"He is two, hell Arthur eats all the wrong foods with his hands still and he's how old now?" Aislynn reminded them. 

''He will grow." Hobert assured.  "We have quite a party assembled in his honor. And surely by the end of this hunt, we shall have more to celebrate.''

''And what is that, pray tell.'' Aislynn questioned taking another bite of food. 

''It is Aegon's second name day. His infancy's behind him. It only remains for Viserys to name him heir to the throne.'' Hobert whispered. 

''I wouldn't be so sure.' Otto told him stiffly. Aislynn looked to her little Aegon did she want him on the throne?

''He's the King's firstborn son." Hobert corrected. 

''I don't know that His Grace sees it so clearly.' Otto remarked.

''Then it lies with you to make him see it... Lord Hand.'' Hobert remarked. "Aislynn, lovely as always." She nodded distractedly as she dipped her chip into the bowl.

''Your Grace... I bring urgent news from the Stepstones.'' Tyland Lannister said coming forward and putting a halt to the festivities. 'The Crabfeeder has dug in for siege on Bloodstone while his men sabotage our fleet under the cover of dark.
