16. Mother

-Rhaenyra POV-

I was cradling my new baby in my arms, "My sweet little Aegon." I said to the sleeping baby that looked like his father.

Daemons came marching in with a scroll, he threw it on the bed, it was unmarked already open, I had no doubt that he had read it already, "It's from Aemond." He simply said, I handed him Aegon which he took happily.

Dear Sister,

Alyssa is heavy with child and is set to give broth any day or week now and we would like you to come and see her and your grandchild be born, please come as soon as you can on dragon back or anyway you can come.

From,
Your Brother,
Aemond Targaryen

"What do you think of it?" I asked Daemon, "I think it's a trap." He told me, "A few months ago Alyssa wrote to us she was with a child, I think we should go to see her either way." He looked at me and then at Aegon before setting him in his cradle.

"When do we leave?" He asked me, "In the morrow, tell the boys to pack please." I asked him, "And what about Aegon?" He asked me, "When your mother gave birth to my father she rode on Meleys with him only nine days later didn't she?" I answered him, he smirked at the history lesson I had given him.

-Alyssa POV-

-2 days later-

I sat in bed with Aemond cooing at my stomach talking to his unborn child, "What are you doing?" I asked him, "I am talking to our daughter." He said to me, "You think it will be a girl?" I asked him, "You don't?" He asked me, he looked up at me waiting for a answer.

"I think it will be a boy, it's my motherly tuition." I said to him, I ran my fingers through his silver locks, "We have to chose names." He said to me, "I have been thinking for a boy, Rhaegar, and for a girl, Daeny's." He chuckled at the name, "Like the dreamer?" He asked me, "Yes like the dreamer." I said back.

A knock came to the door, "Enter!" I shouted while playing with Aemonds hair, Leyla entered, "Your grace, your family is here." I looked with wife eyes, "Send them in." I said, Aemond immediately stood up making me feel so lonely.

"What was that for?" I whispered loud enough for him to hear, "I don't want my uncle to yell at me for laying on his daughter, he already knows how you got in this condition." He said back, a blush crept to my face.

My mother and father entered with my brothers and sister, "Mother, father, Jace, Luke, Joffrey, Baela, Rhaena, and who is this little guy?" I asked my mother, "This is Aegon, I had him last week." She said.

I saw the silver hair babe, "He is so pretty." I whispered, "Soon enough you will have one of your own." My mother said with her hand in my swelling stomach, "I pray to the seven he or she stay with me." I said to her, "I bet they will."
