Bad for Business / Viserys Targaryen

19. Wicked

Giddy Up! / Harwin Strong out now!!

"I told viserys." Odessa remarked nonchalantly over tea.

"Told- oh... and?" Otto questioned ready to be the supportive big brother.

"He asked me to marry him." Odessa admitted.

"He... what did you say?"

"Yes. But I have to tell the kids. You think im crazy?"

"No. I think you are in love and he loves you." Otto admitted. "Im glad he is stepping up."

"I was worried." Odessa admitted. "Loving me in secret, I mean... he has joked about us running away together but-"

"This is real. I'm happy for you Odessa." 

"Thank you, Otto." Odessa held tight to him. "How do I tell the kids?" 

"I think they will be excited." Otto offered. "Alicent will certainly be happy Lia and her have become quite close." 

"I know, I... I wanted to stay here but marriage, thats different, I will make an enemy out of Aemma no doubt." 

"Forget about her, this is about you my dear." Otto declared. 

"Oh I know but the faith has never liked taking a second wife," Odessa tensed. 

"Are you reconsidering this? Don't Odessa, you have always been so brave, dont turn away now that you are getting what you want, love and a child, and... not mention," He murmured. "A crown." Odessa chuckled. 

"I'm not reconsidering it I love Viserys, I have for a long time but will the children understand that I'm not replacing their father? But I'm having a baby with Viserys... they will have another sibling that will be a little prince..."

"Oh my sweet girl, your children are bright and brilliant just like you." Otto assured. "They will understand." 

"Do you need me there for this?" Viserys questioned. 

"I'm going to tell them alone, I think it will be better." Odessa corrected. 

"Should I butter then up?" Viserys pondered. "What does Ophelia like besides lurking around the castle looking for secret passageways?" Viserys mused. 

"Anything that holds secrets to uncover." Odessa offered. "But again, Viserys my love," She touched his cheek. "I will tell them tonight."

"Okay..." Viserys agreed. "I'm really excited," He touched her stomach. A smile curved her face. "Our baby." He kissed her cheek his lips lingering. 

Supper was plated it was just Odessa and her children, the kids were bickering, ALicent and Otto were on a walk picking up a dessert from the market for tonight. Alicent held to her fathers hand as they walked along. 

"You like having your aunt and cousins so close?" Otto questioned. 

"I love it. Ophelia is a bit of a troublemaker, father." Alicent added. 

"She is, just like her mother in that respect." Otto agreed. 

"But she's a lot of fun. She's helping me get out of my shell as she called it." Alicent remarked. 

"As long as you are happy, I know Odessa could be bossy as a child, you stand up for yourself if you dont want to do something." Otto clarified. 

"Oh no, its nothing bad, well we did..." Alicent hushed herself. 

"What?" Otto pondered. 

"I can't tell you. It's a secret." 

"Oh a secret." 

"Yeah, Ophelia told me I can't tell anyone. Its nothing bad dont worry we just found another hidden door." Alicent offered. 

"Ophelia and her puzzles." Otto agreed. 

"Are they staying forever?" Alicent questioned. 

"I think they are." Otto agreed knowingly. 

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join your mum for supper." odessa remarked. Ollivander chuckled out. "I know I'm being silly. I have something to tell you three and i want to know what you think. Honestly." 

"I'm always bluntly honest as uncle Otto informed me." Ophelia remarked. Odessa chuckled. 

"What do you think about me finding a suitor? Dating... again?" Odessa questioned. 

"So you are seeing the king!" Ophelia shouted. 

"I knew it." Orion agreed calmly. 

"Wait what?" Ollivander countered. 

"You knew?" Odessa questioned. 

"Are you pregnant? Are you going to be queen? Can I be a princess?" Ophelia questioned. 

"Wait, Rhaenyra has the hots for me if you marry her father that makes her my sister..." Ollivander countered shaking his head.  

"Can he fund my next project?" Orion questioned. 

"Heavens!" Odessa declared. "So you all are okay with me and Viserys...?"

"He makes you happy." Orion answered. "I see it when you are with him. You deserve to be happy."

"Thank you baby." Odessa agreed reaching out for him. 

"Seriously though, does this mean I'm a princess?" Ophelia demanded. 

"You are already my-"

"Mum!"

"Yes. I will be a queen and you will be a princess." Odessa agreed. 

"Marry him!" Ophelia agreed. 

"He will be your step father." Odessa reminded them. "He's not trying to replace your father but he is excited to get to try and fill the role in your lives. He wanted to be here but I wanted to tell you first." 

"He's a nice guy, tells me all the secrets of the castle," Ophelia agreed. 

"What about you Olli?" odessa questioned kissing his temple. 

"Do I get a dragon?" 

"I think a dragon egg can be arranged, you will be Targaryens." Odessa agreed. "My little Bolton- Targaryens."

"wicked." Ollivander agreed. 

"Oh my babies thank you, thank you for being so wonderful about this." odessa declared hugging them tight. 

"We got desserts!" Alicent declared walking in on their family hug she ran over hugging them too. "Why are we hugging?" 

"Mum is going to be queen."
