Little Devil / Viserys Targaryen / Tommy Shelby

53. Happy News

"See you tomorrow Criston," Aislynn remarked

"Thanks for the warning, your grace." he answered and she turned to face him. He smiled in return saluting her.

"You inspire my inner serial killer, Cole." Aislynn warned, he opened his closed his mouth before quickly heading down the hall.

Aislynn went to viserys that night, she smiled kissing his cheek. He touched her cheek gently and she tipped her head into his touch.

"Hi Vis, you feeling alright?" Aislynn questioned.

"Yes." Viserys agreed. "I had some lovely tea from Tommy."

"He knows what he's doing, thats for sure." Aislynn agreed through gritted teeth and a big smile. "Lets get you to bed, its late honey."

"Stay with me tonight." Viserys requested grabbing her hand.

"Of course, I just have to check in on the kids one last time." Aislynn agreed kissing his cheek. "Hi TJ," She cooed, Tommy was reading him a story.

"Uncle Tommy said-" Tj began. Aislynn knew it hurt Tommy to be called uncle instead of father, knew that her children did think of him as a father as Viserys went down a path of sickness.

"Did he?" Aislynn questioned not listening as she blinked out of her tommy induced trance.

"Yeah." TJ agreed, smiling back at her.

"Well you two dont stay up too late partying." Aislynn instructed kissing the top of his head. Tommy reached out grabbing her hand.

"Where's my kiss?" Tommy questioned. Aislynn leaned over kissing the corner of his lips. When AIslynn got back to Viserys room that night he was fast asleep she slid in beside him and wondered what illness was taking over him, she missed the man he used to be.

''Keep breathing.''

Rhaenyra gasped for breath as she pushed and pushed. Her breathing rapid.

"And push."

Rhaenyra groaned out in agony.

"And again.'

"I c... I can't." Rhaenyra whined

''Push!'' the midwife demanded

''The head!'' another midwife declared kneeling between Rhaenyra's legs. Rhaenyra kept pushing, moaning and groaning in agony but it was almost done, it had to be.

''A boy, Princess.''

''Praise the Mother!'' The baby's cries rang out.

"Ahh." They placed the boy in Rhaenyra's arms, she smiled down at him, another boy. "Healthy?"

" Kicking like a goat, Princess."

"A boy? Oh thats lovely." Aislynn remarked.

"We have been having babies at the same time, I feel bad we were not pregnant this round with her." Alicent remarked.

"Yes, but I'm tapped out. You my sweet alicent, should have a few more." Aislynn remarked.

"I agree." Michael remarked "Matthias and Linnae are so grown up now, they barely need us." he mused.

"No, no, no, I was talking." Anari corrected waving a hand at Aegon to shut up.

"Mama!" Aegon demanded. Even at 13 Aegon still called her mama and she savored it.

"Hi honey's." Aislynn cooed hugging them.

"Rhaenyra's wails kept me up last night." Jaeton grumbled.
