Visera and Helaena sat in her chambers as their children slept, their brothers left awhile ago to do "manly things" according to Aegon. Helaena, Aegon and Daeron has yet to meet Visera's children seeing as they've been asleep since before they arrived.

A servant walked in and rushed to Visera's side, " my apologies princess, but Florence told me to inform you your husband is in the nursery." The smile she had on her face shaped to a frown. " thank you grace, you may go." A wave of fear made the hairs on her neck stand straight up.

" are you alright Sera?" Helaena asked putting her embroidery down, Visera nodded her head in response and stood. There was no way she was leaving her children alone with that monster, not even for a second. " I must check on my children, I will be back sister." She said calmly before walking out as quickly as possible but trying not to be suspicious.

As she walked to the nursery her hands shook at her side, she feared what he might do to her daughter. She knew her son was safe because Lord Jason would not hurt his heir but as he said before her daughter was no child of his. She reached the hallway the nursery was in, a soft humming sound floated in the air from the cracked door.

She crept closer looking through the crack, Florence rocked Daeleyes as she watched Lord Jason who stood above Lorean's crib. Visera pushed the door open causing the three of them to look at her, Florence bowed her head with a smile, Daeleyes sent her a tired smile before laying her head back on Florence's shoulder, and her husband nodded and turned back towards their son.

" wife." He commented not using his usual tone of voice, Visera shared a look with Florence who had the same look on her face and she shrugged. " Husband." She replied carefully joining his side, Florence sent her a warning glare but she payed no attention.

Lorean layer there wide awake, his little hand held on to one of his fathers fingers. Lord Jason smiled down at his son, even after everything Visera smiled at the sight. " I have never felt such love." He spoke aloud not realizing he did so. Visera and Florence shared another look, both their eyes wide.

" Florence leave us." He said not looking up from his spot, She looked to the princess who nodded discreetly. She did as told laying Daeleyes down and leaving the room, but she made sure to leave the door cracked and to stand close by.

" I owe you an apology." He said finally looking up, before looking back down. " I know that will not change my past actions or your feelings towards me." Visera turned to examine his face, his expression and look in his eyes showed his apology was genuine. But Visera couldn't forgive him, he got her child killed, he beat her, he raped her and he disowned 'his' daughter.

" Jason I appreciate the thought but I can't accept your apology." His head shot her way and his face turned to anger, but then back to his calm state. " I understand, after everything I have done to you." He sent her a sad smile before leaving the room, Visera remained there in shock until she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She turned to see Aemond, his eyebrow were drawn together as he pulled her into a hug. "Issi ao alright sīmontan?" (Are you alright rose?)  She wrapped her arms around his waist returning the hug. " Helaena rhēdan naejot worry vestas īlē taking naejot bōsa." ( Helaena began to worry she said you were taking too long.) Visera nodded against his chest and let out a sigh, she missed being in his arms.

" Iksan sȳz." (I am fine.) Aemond sent her a knowing look but before he could say anything Lorean began to fuss. Visera pulled away going to grab her son, Aemond made a noise of complaint but she just rolled her eyes.

<•*•>

Visera walked around the great hall Lorean in her arms as she, her husband and the rest of the Lannister's began to show off their son, the Heir to Casterly Rock. Florence walked closely behind carrying Daeleyes seeing as she wouldn't let the Lannister hold her. The Targaryen family watched closely as Lord Jason wrapped his arm around Visera's waist, Aegon sent Aemond a playful look as he clenched his jaw.

" Excuse us, we have yet to dance." Lord Jason said as he noticed the bored expression on her face. Visera handed Lorean to Cerhanna and followed her husband to the middle of the room where people were dancing.

As they began to copy the dance the lords and ladies around them were doing Visera spoke " why are being kind all of the sudden." She whispered. Lord Jason looked around then back at her. " the birth of our son has made me realize you are more than what I have been treating you as..." he trailed off looking at something behind her.

" and your brother has been death glaring me since he arrived and I would like to keep my life." He spoke laughing at the last bit, she joined in because she knew if she hadn't stopped Aemond her husband would be ash or dragon food by now.

They continued to dance in silence until that song was over, a tap on the shoulder made her turn. Aemond stood there with a smirk looking at her husband. " may I steal a dance?" He asked but it sounded more like a demand.

" of course my prince." He said bowing before walking away with a scowl. The two began to catch up to the dance, but Aemond would not look her in the eye.

" what were you laughing at?" He asked grabbing her hips lifting her in the air and spinning before placing her back on the ground still not looking her in the eye. " why, are you jealous?" She teased but he stopped his movement causing her to frown. He then began to walk away but she pulled his arm pulling him back to her and continued to dance forcing him to as well.

A smirk replaced her frown causing him to raise a brow. " what?" He asked but returned her smirk. " I was laughing because he's afraid of you and yet anything I say you do."

Aemond eyed her up and down. " oh yeah?"

"Yeah." She replied, her smirk widening. If that was even possible." you just did."
