The secret affair|| Daemon Targaryen

Saera's pov
I wake once more and I'm alone. I furrow my eyebrows getting up and I panic seeing the cradle where Alyssa should be gone. Where is my child?! I grab a robe and rush around not finding her anywhere. Or daemon. Where are they?! I pause in relief seeing saera with Rhaenys. Where is daemon? I take her from Rhaenys cradling Alyssa to my chest my heart beating 1000 miles an hour. I kiss her small head and Rhaenys asks me "are you alright saera? You shouldn't be out of bed right now. You should be healing" sitting me down in a chair. I say "I woke up and she was gone. Daemons nowhere to be found. I panicked..."

She tells me "daemon went with your father to see if meraxes has laid eggs or not for her. I volunteered to sit with you and my great grand daughter but she started to fuss and I did not wish to have her wake you. You have been through a lot this day my sweet" squeezing my hand. I nod staring down at what my love with daemons created...our child. I say "maester write to kingslanding and the kingdoms. Let them know I am well, and birthed a healthy princess"

He nods "yes princess" Rhaenys says "she's a good babe. I've never seen one so quiet" with a smile. I grin "she's perfect" couching Alyssa's cheek gently and she takes my finger in her tiny hands and I kiss her tiny hand. She fusses and then I hear the doors open "my love what are you doing out of bed" daemon speaks. I reply "I woke up and our child and you were gone." He looks at me apologetically "I'm sorry I worried you. I gave Rhaenys the order to let you rest and to take her if she fussed" I'm kissed gently by him and I chuckle "you smell of dragon. Any luck?" "No. Not yet. They've been coupling according to the keepers. But no eggs have been laid quite yet." He answers me. Alyssa fusses for his attention and he gives it wholeheartedly "why hello my littlest dragon" taking her and he kisses her forehead gently "gave your mother quite the fright huh?" He chuckles and she takes his hair in her fists and puts it in her mouth and he chuckles "stop that my sweet" taking it from her and bounces her softly.

I say "Syrax is a rogue dragon. When she's old enough...maybe she can claim her" in thought about it. Wanting my little girl to have a dragon. He replies "so are vermithor, sheepstealer, cannibal, grey ghost, we do not need Syrax. We can wait for her to have an egg from our pairing as well" I kiss his cheek "it's not guaranteed an egg will hatch in the cradle either daemon. Rhaena's and aemonds didn't. Syrax is a good dragon, she's mourning my mother right now but she would be a good contender in accepting her when the time is right if there are no eggs laid here"

He nods "we can always go to the pit in kingslanding for one" I remind him "eggs are scarce right now. Dreamfyre hasn't laid a clutch in over a year and those eggs were unviable for life. There's no shame in claiming a dragon that did not hatch for you daemon. Caraxes is a formidable dragon and wasn't hatched for you in the cradle my love"

He kisses my cheek "I know. I want that for her though saera. I want her to have that bond with a dragon that's hatched for her. I've seen how good it did rhaenyra, Baela, even your brothers as well and even aegon and for you too. There's nothing like it. I want her to experience raising a dragon herself. And watch you teach her how to do it so it grows like meraxes." He explains passionately looking at our now asleep daughter. I kiss his cheek "if the gods are good meraxes will lay a clutch soon." He tells me "the dragon keepers says it seems she's to nest or seems like she's trying make one" she's never done it before. I smile "she'll be a first time mother too soon enough I take it. And then you'll choose which one of her clutch is to be our girls protector and best friend" Rhaenys says "if the gods are good"
