Bad for Business / Viserys Targaryen

23. Claim

Odessa and Viserys sat side by side reading. Odessas legs crossed over viserys, his hand stroked her leg contently.

Ollivander ruined their perfect silence. He was grumbling and grumbling about when was he going to get a dragon. He needed a dragon.

Ollivander plopped down curling in odessas side. He whined into her stomach.

"I cant hear you." Odessa remarked stroking his hair.

"I want a dragon mama."

"I know you do baby." Odessa cooed.

"How about An egg." Viserys suggested. "You want to go to dragons mott?"

"Thats on dragon stone." Ollivander recalled.

"Its where the dragons lay their eggs where most are harvested from." Viserys agreed.

"Are there any eggs closer to home?" Odessa countered.

"We can check the caves." Ollivander questioned hopefully. "Right mama? Thats closer to home! Please let me look!"

"As long ss viserys goes with you." Odessa agreed.

"Please mr Viserys!" Ollivander begged.

"Yes of course." Viserys agreed. He was desperate for odessas children to love him. He would be their father after all.

"Right now!" Ollivander declared jumping up. He pulled viserys up yanking on his hand.

"Best step daddy ever." Odessa declared. Viserys kissed her quickly before ollivander tugged him along.

Marriage was just as much about the two involved in the union as it was about the children involved. Viserys would have loved to spend his day lavishing odessa but he knew how much odessa adored her children. He wanted to make sure both odessa and her three brilliant children knew he valued both of them.

"Its going to be ready before the babe is born," orion remarked.

"I dont think a deadly shooter is a good name day gift for your little brother." Odessa countered. She ran a hand down his back as he folded up a piece of paper mindlessly.

"Olli would like it." Orion corrected. Odessa laughed out.

"That is certainly true." She admitted. Orion held up the parchment he was messing with and revealed a paper rose for her. "Oh thank you honey." Odessa cooed taking it delicately from him.

"Where is the trouble maker?"

"Hes older." Alicent declared sparing a sneaky glance at harwin strong.

"Yeah and so gorgeous." Ophelia agreed. "I love the capital." She stared back at him shamelessly.

"Hey!" Rhaenyra declared sitting beside them. "What are we doing?"

"Staring at the new knight." Ophelia declared.

"Huuush!" Alicent corrected.

"They wouldnt train out in public- shirtless might I add- if they didnt want us staring at them." Ophelia countered.

"She has a good point." Rhaenyra agreed. "He is handsome."

"I thought you were with my brother." Ophelia realized after a long moment trapped in a harwin strong induced trance.

"He ran off grumbling about not having a dragon for himself," rhaenyra admitted.

"And you decided to stop wasting your time on my pyro brother?" Ophelia teased.

"He wants a dragon... said he was going to be my future husband." Rhaenyra admitted.

"Gag." Ophelia corrected.

"Ohh look!" Odessa declared shifting on the couch. "Olli you did it!"

"The dragons are my bitches." Ollivander agreed. "I basically just had to ask and they were like Ollivander take my goods!" Viserys chuckled shaking his head.

"You are a bit dirty for them just handing it over." Orion countered.

"And you were gone a long time." Odessa added.

"Yeah well blame rhaenyra." Ollivander declared

"Oh? Pray tell?" Viserys mused.

"She didnt teach me any of the fun words yet." Ollivander grumbled. "Anyways, mum..." he shighed heavily.

"Im proud of you honey. You know not all eggs hatch. Viserys told me that. Some dont hatch for years some never at all." Odessa reminded him.

"I know." Ollivander agreed. He stared down at the egg.

"Whats wrong? Not everything you hoped for and more?" Odessa questioned pulling herself up to her feet.

"I know this is really big of me." Ollivander remarked staring down at the egg. "Like really really big of me but I think your baby should have the egg. Its tradition after all."

"Oh honey. Are you sure?"

"No but yeah." Ollivander agreed. He put it in the crib and stared down at it. "I think I might change my mind."

"You can have it. You worked hard to find it." Odessa assured. "I thank you for your offer but you take it." Ollivander picked it up staring back at the sparkling shells of the egg. But he put it back down again.

"Marry my mum. Then I will claim another egg."
