Alicent x criston. Aranyani younger years.
Twins. One born of fire and blood. The other of earth and air. Alicent held her baby girl close and looked to the man she hoped would help her and protect her. Save her from the capital.

"When you hol...
As little aranyani grew alicent and criston fell more in love with her.
She was the envy of every girl and was quickly becoming the center of her older brothers world.
"Oh petal," aegon chuckled. She smiled into him kissing his cheek. "You silly girl."
"Oh Egg-on!" Ara giggled. "Silly boy!"
"Petal." Aegon warned.
"Eggon." She repeated laughing out before running to jace.
She was one with the animals. One with the Forrest one with nature. She loved walks and collected little treasures which she passed off to aegon or criston or alicent however walked with her became the carrier of treasures. Usually rocks or leaves or flowers. Sometimes animals. Like kittens or baby goats. Ara found a little pack of ducks today.
Alicent was amazed that the ducks didn't waddle off but moved to ara like she was their mother duck.
"Mama look!" She picked one up. Viserys said something about diseases and danger but alicent moved forward unphased
"Its a baby duck. Whats it going to do? Expell its feces on her?" Alicent countered.
"Mama!"

"I see. So cute." Alicent used to be gentle like this. She was said to have a gentle touch by both viserys and his grandsire jaehaerys but lately her heart felt cold.
Ara loved being outside. Daeron did not. They were complete opposites. Ara could fall asleep under the stars tucked into cristons side while daeron jumped at every sound every howl and every cricket.
Viserys and daeron easily saw danger in the workd while ara saw beauty and more to be discovered. Like criston.
It was impossible not to see the similarities between ara and criston vs daeron and viserys.
Her older three children were...
"Aegon!" Helaena whined. "Stop it!"
"Stop being such a weirdo!" Aegon countered.
"I will get mama." Aemond decided
"Mamas boy." Aegon agreed. "You are a baby girl Aem."
"Im a boy!"
"Then why do you always run to mum?" Aegon challenged
"Why do you always make helaena sad?" Aemond countered.
Aras eyes ping ponged between them before looking at jace.
"Lets play." She decided grabbing his hand and running off.
Jace and ara spent so much time together they were basically attached at the hip
Ara smiled as flowers bloomed brightly for her. How they seemed to grow and flourish as she touched them. No one else noticed. Jace did.
"Pretty." Jace told her. She smiled tipping her head aide to side.
Alicent could feel criston's breath on her neck as she looked over the courtyard as her children fought. She knew she should stop them but they usually worked it out, she didnt want to have to step in if it was just shouts. Aemond was a good little protector of his sisters, always standing up to Aegon when he was mean to Helaena. She would raise her boys to be strong but right now she felt weak in the knees.
But its wasnt just criston making her feel weakened, it soon had her in bed and not in the good way. At least that was what she told her handmaidens and the king when she didnt come to supper and didnt leave her bed chamber. Her moons bleeding was kicking her butt.
Alicent lay sick in bed and Aranyani was going to nurse her back to health. Alicent wasn't sick. She was sick of everything but being sick was easier to say when she needed a break and couldnt handle all of this while her insides were bleeding out of her like posion.
Ara giggled out rushing a cookie to alicent it crumbled in her hand as she ran.
"I got you a get well cookie!" Ara declared.
"Oh thank you baby." Alicent sat up in bed.
"Welcome". Ara took a bite out of it.
"Was it for me or you?" Alicent countered.
"Well... you." Ara agreed. "Daddy?" Alicent tensed before she realized that Ara was talking to Criston. "Can you get mama and me more cookies?"
"Of course sweetie." Criston agreed, he didnt say anything, neither did alicent at the fact that ara called him daddy. Alicent waited until he was gone to remind ara that the king was her daddy.
"I have two daddy's though." She countered.
"Oh you do?" Alicent questioned.
"Yeah." Ara agreed as if it was as easy as that. Criston was her daddy and viserys was her daddy. Viserys sung her songs at night but Criston made the bad dreams go away. When Criston came back ara pulled him to the bed and had him sit beside her. Criston reached behind ara and grabbed alicent's hand. They shared a smile as Ara picked which cookie she wanted.
"This cookie is the biggest but I already had part of this one so you should get the big cookie."
