(9 month time jump)

Lyanna groaned holding onto her swollen belly. It was time, her brother helped her across the room to her bed where maids and maesters awaited. They began to ready her for the birth.

"Where is Aemond?!" Lyanna cried out while grasping onto her brothers hand.

"We cannot find him, perhaps out riding again." Willam said flinching at the pain from her tight grip.

"Do not leave me please!" Lyanna said huffing. Willam shook his head at her.

"I would never, i'll be right here the whole time." He reminded her.

"It's time to start pushing." The maester began.

Lyannas screams could be heard across the keep. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead and the grip on her brothers hand tightened. Willam could only think Aemond should be the one to endure this not him. He tried to hold back a cry from his older sisters grip. The sound of a babies cries filled the room but the maester looked up at Lyanna with wide eyes.

"What?! What is it?" She cried out exhausted from pushing.

"There is another babe, princess." He said handing one child off to a maid. "Deep breathes, here we go again."

Lyanna cried out and began pushing once more.

"Where the fuck is Aemond!!" She screamed full of pain.

Aemond had just come back from riding Vhagar. When he made his way back to the keep, Helaena rushed to him.

"Where have you been?" Helaenas brows were furrowed. She was not often angry but today it seemed she was.

"Out riding, what's going on?" Aemond asked confused. Helaena grabbed his arm and pulled him through the halls.

"You're wife is giving birth and you're out playing with dragons!" Helaena huffed shoving him towards her door. "Go on now." She said furiously.

Aemonds jaw dropped and he rushed into the room quickly looking around to find Lyanna in bed with Willam by her side. He couldn't help but stare at her, she seemed to be glowing.

"You've been blessed with twins, my prince." A maiden said giving him a bow and leaving the room. Lyanna and Willam both held a babe in their hands.

"And the father has finally arrived." Willam said glaring at Aemond. Aemond still looked to be in shock, he couldn't believe it was twins. Willam stood and brought the baby to Aemond. "Would you like to hold your daughter?" He said with a smile. Aemond nodded and carefully took her from his hands.

Aemond looked down at his little girl, she had the silver Targaryen hair but a Starks eyes. Bright blue like her mothers. He couldn't help but smile at her.

"Go see your son as well." Willam said softly to him. Aemond looked up and sat himself by Lyannas side. The boy had dark hair like Lyanna but lavender eyes like Aemonds.

"I think i've decided on names." Lyanna said looking up at Aemond.

"Whatever you wish them to be, my love." He said looking down at their little ones.

"Daella, she came first and Daeron." Lyanna said smiling.

"Targaryen names?" Willam asked with a raised eyebrow. Lyanna nodded at him.

"I think it's quite fitting for them, their last name is Targaryen after all." Lyanna said, looking down at her son.

"I think those are perfect names." Aemond said and kissed the top of her head.
