15. Aegon

If walls could talk / Hp x HOTD out now!

Mirror, Mirror / Viserys Targaryen out now!

"Aegon."

Aislynn liked the little silver haired cutie but it was clear that Alicent did not. Aislynn understood her hesitation. She looked at Aegon and saw the pain that Viserys had put her through on their wedding night.

There were some things that big sisters just knew. Alicent didnt have to say it and she was glad she didnt have to vocalize her pain, she didnt think she could get the words out. So Aislynn held her baby sister, took little Aegon in her arms and promised to castrate Viserys if needed.

Titus scrunched up his little face at Aegon.

"Whats that look for?" Aislynn questioned.

"Hes stinky." Titus answered.

"I love him but im not on nappy duty!" Aislynn called out and a handmaiden came running.

"Why was he stinky?"

"He shit himself." Arthur answered coming into the room. He picked Tobias up holding him upside down. He laughed out.

"Why would he poppy on himself?" Titus countered. "Thats just not right."

"I agree. Its gross. Defective baby!" Arthur declared.

"Art!" Aislynn begged.

"I think your sister needs a break." Tyland remarked looking to alicent. Break meaning code word for nap, bath, alone time.

"Yes. We will take Aegon for a walk." Aislynn agreed pressing a kiss to Alicent head.

"Thanks Lynnie. Thanks Tyland." Alicent agreed.

"Finn can you and titus help push the stroller?" Aislynn questioned. "A mini carriage for babies. Im still amazed!" Aislynn declared. "Best invention ever."

"Make sure hes snug as a bug in a rug." Tyland added.

"Get some well deserved rest." Aislynn instructed. Alicent nodded and when she was alone she curled up and weapt. This was her life now.

"Shes going to be okay right?" John questioned.

"Its going to take time." Aislynn assured. "This is new for her with a man she doesnt love." She added.

"You love daddy." Titus declared.

"I love daddy so so much!" Aislynn agreed tipping her head into tyland.

Aislynn was lucky, she got Tyland, she picked her man and held onto him tightly. Alicent was still a child, Aislynn didnt think she needed Alicent to worry about marriage and children, if only she knew her fathers plans and she could have saved Alicent some of this pain. Life had enough pains, she didnt need her marriage, her children to be one of them. 

"A handsome heir." Otto remarked, Aislynn swatted a hand back at him. "It's what we are all thinking" He offered. 

"Yes but you can't just go around saying the things we are thinking." AIslynn countered. "Keep them in your head." 

"The kings first born son, do you hear that?" Otto countered. Aislynn listened to the cheering, the parades, it was hard not to hear it. EVeryone was celebrating because the world was not ready would never be ready for a woman to be queen alone. 

"It doesnt change viserys mind." Aislynn reminded him. 

"It should." Otto countered. 

"Viserys already has an heir, i dont even know why he remarried if he had an heir. The realms were forced to bow down and would choose another over her sure." Aislynn agreed. "But that doesnt matter, us little people dont matter." 

"It should." Otto countered again. 

"You are hand. I'm just that bitch that likes to threaten Viserys." Aislynn reminded him. 

"I think thats why your father thinks you could plant the idea in the kings mind." Tyland offered. Aislynn shook her head picking up Aegon. 

"Look at this little baby, little tiny baby. He is not going to be ruling over anything except a wet nurses teat for moons." Aislynn informed them. Aegon drooled into her chest. "He might be named after Aegon the conqueror but make no mistake, he is a baby. He shouldnt have the weight of the kingdoms on his shoulders."

"I hear what you are saying," Otto assured. "But do you not hear the people? They are celebrating him. Not Rhaenyra. Her celebrations were daunting, everyone was forced to bend, there were no cheering in the streets. There was fear and panic for the future." Otto declared. "But Aegon-" Otto lifted his hands up. "You hear them, they are praising, calling out for their future king!"

"Talking to you is like talking to a wall." Aislynn decided.
