Echo of our Ancestors

Epilogue

Ok peeps, this story has come to its end. I had fun writing it. This was my first modern time story and I want to thank all of you for reading it. So, THANK YOU!!!!!!! 🥰

                                                             Deirys Targaryen (24 years old.)

Deirys walked into her son's nursery, smiling when she found him standing on his crib. Jaehaerys was a very good child, he was calm and quiet, barely giving her any trouble. Even as a baby, he only cried when he was hungry or needed to be changed. Now that he was a bit older, he would wake up and just stand in the crib and wait for her or Aemond to get him. He was such a happy baby, she couldn't help but smile every time she saw him.
"Mommy!" He raised both arms, giggling happily when he saw her, bouncing on the crib's mattress. "Up, up."
"Good morning, baby." She picked him up, kissing the top of his head and holding him close to her chest. His silver-white hair was all over the place, making her smile. "Are you hungry?"
He nodded his head, sucking his thumb. Deirys and Aemond had gotten married three weeks after she graduated high school. Her mother and father had wanted her to wait, but Deirys didn't see the point, she and Aemond were meant to be together and nothing would change that. Aemond had been very supportive of her, helping her when she started university. She had majored in public relations, after realizing that she was good at managing other people's images and wanting to be able to help her family. She didn't want to be in charge of the company, her bother was the one that had worked his ass off to become the head of the company and he deserved it, he was really good at it. Once her parents saw how well she and Aemond worked together they never mentioned anything about her marrying so young again. Two years into their marriage, during winter break they had taken a trip to Westeros to visit Aemond's mother, the woman had become warmer to her after she and Aemond had married. During the trip, they had stayed at a hotel and one night after a company party they had gotten a little crazy and had not been as careful as they should have. Two months after, Deirys had been shocked when she discovered she was pregnant. Aemond had been ecstatic, her parents had been happy but worried at the same time since she was still in university. Aemond had stepped in again and been a huge help, getting her ice cream at midnight and helping her study at all hours.
When Deirys had given birth to their daughter her parents had stepped in and helped, so she could finish school. Deirys had finished her last two years online, not wanting to leave her daughter. When she had gotten pregnant with her son she had already finished school, so her pregnancy had been less stressful. Deirys was happy, her life was filled with love and happiness. They still had issues at the company sometimes, just like any other business, but Deirys would not change her life for anything. She smiled at her son as she walked out with him, heading to the kitchen where her husband and daughter were. She entered the kitchen, smiling when she saw Aemond standing by the kitchen island, wearing a black apron. Their daughter Daenerys was standing on a small step stool next to him, wearing a small pink apron. She seemed to be steering something on a silver bowl, her face was partially covered in flour.
"Daddy!" Jaehaerys's voice was loud as he announced their presence to everyone in the room. Making both of them look up from what they were doing. "Danny!"
"There is my boy." Aemond took Jaehaerys from her arms, kissing his head, before kissing her lips. "I thought you were still sleeping."
"No, I walked into the nursery and he was already awake, standing on the crib." She approached her daughter, kissing the crown of her head. "What are you doing love?"
"I'm helping Daddy make chocolate chip pancakes." Her daughter gave her a wide smile. "Grandma and Grandpa will be here soon. Daddy said chocolate chip pancakes are grandma's favorite and today is her birthday."
"They are her favorite." They had never moved from the house Aemond had bought when he first moved to Valyria. Her parents loved that they lived two houses down from them and that they had access to the children as much as they wanted. "Are you making some for me?"
"Yes." Her daughter gave her an excited look. "We are making them for everyone, even Jaehaerys. But daddy says that he can't eat too many because he will get a belly ache."
"Yay!" They all laughed as Jaehaerys clapped, her son loved to eat.
"Do you need any help?" Deirys asked her daughter.
"I don't know." Daenerys frowned before looking at her father. "Do we need any help, Daddy?"
"Well, we never say no to help." Aemond winked at their daughter and then whispered loudly. "And your mother makes the best scrambled eggs."
"Ok." Daenerys looked at her with a serious expression on her face, almost like she was the queen and they were her servants. "You can make the eggs. You know where they are."
Deirys resisted the urge to laugh as her daughter gave the marching orders. They managed to make breakfast without any major damage, and everything was ready by the time her parents showed up. Her children ran to them as soon as they stepped into the house, giving them hugs and kisses and her parents smiled like they were the best thing ever. Deirys loved the weekends when they spend all their day together as a family. During the week Aemond left home at seven sharp and got home around five thirty, while Deirys worked around four hours every day and did the rest of the work while at home. She didn't like to leave her children with a nanny for too long. During the weekend they made sure to eat and spend the day together. They would go for walks, take the children to the park and spend time with her parents.
"Happy birthday, Grandma." Daenerys handed her mother a pretty wrapped box. "Daddy and Mommy helped me pick it out."
"Happy biday!" Her son smiled from Daemon's lap, throwing his arms in the air, almost slapping her father in the face. "Cake."
"Thank you, my loves." Rhaenyra kissed Daenerys and then Jaehaerys, running a hand over the little boy's head. "We will have cake soon."
Her son nodded as her mother opened her present, making the appropriate noises to make the children smile. Aemond sat beside her, taking her hand in his and kissing her palm, then kissed her lips. Deirys looked around at her family, this was all she ever wanted. Nothing was better than this, no fortune, no kingdom. She couldn't as for more, all she wanted was right here.
