The secret affair|| Daemon Targaryen

Daemons pov
It's been 2 months and I haven't found Laenor yet. She's 8 months now. Bed ridden due to the babe causing her pains. She said the maesters think the babe might be ready soon. But she's hoping our babe is full term. I miss her terribly. We write one another as much as possible. She misses me too. She says she can't wait for me to come home.

I land in Meereen and ask around for Laenor and his companion. I'm lead to a tent and I see him. His hair grown back. "Daemon" he smiles. I say "you're a hard one to find you know?" He asks "what are you doing here daemon?" "I need you to come to dragonstone with me your daughter demands it" I speak. "No one's to know I'm alive daemon that was the deal" he says. I reply "yeah well rhaenyra before her execution told her of you still breathing. She sent me to find you in order for her to forgive me. That being said you're coming with me before my wife gives birth and I'm not there to welcome my daughter to the world"

He says "you married her? She's having my grandchild?" With a smile. I nod "yes. She is. Now let's go" and we walk out to caraxes and I see seasmoke there with him. I get on caraxes and fly toward my home with my wife.

Saera's pov
I'm taking my daily walk with Luke when I feel a pain and wince. "Sister? Are you alright?" I let out a yell in pain "ah!" Liquid rushes down my leg. The babe is coming. Daemons not home yet. He says "the babe is coming. Come sister" I shake my head "I'm not having this babe without him" as we walk "you cannot keep this babe inside of you if she is ready to come out" he says worried "I'm not doing this without him. I need him Luke"

As he sets me on the bed "you must sister. This babe could die if you do not."

We land at dragonstone and the maester stops me "my prince the princess has started her labors" I say noting his worried look "what? What is it?" "She's pushed all the maesters out refusing to start without you. It's been hours. If the babe isn't pushed out now it will die I'm afraid my prince." I hear her screams of agony. I shake my head "my brave girl" another dragon lands outside and I turn and see Rhaenys. "I came as soon as I heard" she sees Laenor and gasps tears falling "my son" hugging him.

I head into the room and Luke begs "sister you have to birth the babe!" "Not without him! I won't! I can't" she says swearing as another pain hits. I walk over and kneel beside her and take her and and she smiles seeing me "daemon" I kiss her softly having missed her. I say "i did say I'd be here on time. Laenor is right outside with Rhaenys who flew in to help. You have to let the maesters help" she shakes her head "no. I won't...my grandmother didn't-Ah!" As another pain hits her "live through a maesters help. I won't do it" I nod and kiss her head and say "whatever you want my love. It's time for you to birth our princess my love. I'm here now it's okay" I move to sit behind her pulling her to sit up against my chest.

I tell Luke "grab a rag and a bowl of cold water" he nods and leaves us and Rhaenys and Laenor come in. "Father" she sighs with a smile seeing him for the first time since she was a child. He sits beside her "hello my sweet girl" taking her hand "I'm home atlast" she nods and smiles and Rhaenys says "mind if I take a look?" She nods and Rhaenys says "you can push" she looks to me slight fear in her eyes.

"You can do this my love. You're strong. And already a beautiful and wonderful mother. Push our child out into the world my love" I speak. She nods and Luke comes back in and I dip the rag into the water wringing it out and I dab her sweaty head gently as she pushes and yells in pain. My heart burns at her pain. I kiss her temple "it's alright my sweet girl. You got this. Push again for me hatchling."

She pants "I can't" I make her look at me "you can and you will. You are the blood of the dragon. We don't quit. You don't quit. Our babe is demanding her presence be made my love. Let us welcome our princess. Ours." She nods and continues to push. Me dabbing her skin with the cold water to cool her, her hand squeezing mine when it's not. "It's head is here granddaughter. Push once more. Make it a strong one" Rhaenys says.

My girl takes a minute to rest against my chest and I kiss her head "she's almost here my love. Our sweet Alyssa." She smiles and nods and moves to adjust herself. I hold her hand and kiss it softly and she squeezes my hand tightly screaming as she pushes. Then we hear it. A cry. My girl pushes out what's after as well. Rhaenys takes the babe and says "a girl." Alyssa is cleaned and given to her mother. Laenor speaks "you did great saera" kissing her temple and he smiles "I'm a grandfather. Seven hells" but I can't take my eyes off of my daughter. Alyssa. She's perfect. Her violet eyes open and her eyes meet mine. She starts to whine and Laenor says "I can call a wet nurse" "no need" is my wife's response.

I say "can we have time?" They nod and say their congratulations leaving us. I move from behind her and help her up and she feeds our child. Something that's unheard of for women of power. They usually have wet nurses do it. I strip the bed and flip the mattress over and make it once more with clean linens. I smile seeing her cooing at Alyssa. "I'm sorry" I speak. She turns to me "what for? Did something happen on your travels?" I shake my head "I did not have an affair. You're the only woman I'll ever want and need in my life my love. But I must apologize once again for lying to you about your fathers death."

"It hurt me to know you did such a thing. And that it wasn't a lie rhaenyra told to try and divide us. But nothing hurt more than our separation. It was needed. Time to think and be away. But missing you hurt me more than I thought it ever could" she tells me. I kiss her softly "I love you. So much my beautiful wife. I will never tell another lie to you again. I need you as I need air. You are my life. The both of you. These months away have been agony for me as well. Let us be better than before" she kisses me softly and Alyssa makes noise.

I chuckle "come here my little love" she's handed to me and I swear right then I'd die before a hair goes missing on this babes head. I kiss Alyssa's head "you honor me" I tell my wife. She replies "she's perfect isn't she?" With a smile as our babe coos. I grin "she is" I ask "are you in pain?" Worried for her. "Slightly." She replies. I order "lay down. I'll ask the maester for milk of the poppy" she shakes her head "I can't. Not while I feed her from my body. Who knows what such a thing will do to her?" I nod and she lays down and I make sure she's comfortable. "I love you" I tell her. Looking at my entire world. My girls. She smiles "and I love you" I kiss her head "get some rest I'll get properly acquainted with my little princess" she nods and gets comfortable for rest and says "don't leave me" "never" I tell her.
