Screams were heard from the Princess's chambers as her labors progressed

"Push, Push Princess" the master said as Rhaenyra groaned in pain "I am pushing you fucking cunt" she yelled before pushing again falling back against the pillows as she felt the babe leave her body

"praise the mother a boy princess" the master said as he handed the screaming babe to a midwife near him for her to clean him off

"is he healthy" Rhaenyra asked she needed children to secure and strength then her claim tot eh throne sons do that best

"kicking like a goat" she reassured the princess as she placed the babe in her arms the babe slowly quieted down once placed in him mothers arms

Rhaenyra looked at the babe with a small smile she didn't want to be a mother but she dealt with the door opened drawing her attention she glared at the door when she saw the queens favorite maid Talia walk in

"the queen has requested the babe be brought to her once the babe has been deemed healthy and has had a moment with his mother" she said looking at the princess who glared even harder but nodded moving to stand up making everyone confused

"Princess you must stay in bed" one of the midwife's said as she tried sit the princess back down

"yes I should be in bed but if the queen intends to separate me from my child she is severely mistaken" she said hoping to make the people in the room hate the queen see her as a monster who would take a child from there mother just moments after birth but everyone knew why the queen requested the babe be brought to her to see if the babe resembles another bastard or not.

with the last two births the princess had the queen came to see them herself but it seems she would not be doing that this time

"help me get dress" Rhaenyra demanded handing the babe to a midwife as the maids helped her get dressed letting her leave the room holding the babe

"A boy I just heard and what are you doing out of bed" Leanor said confused as he walked up to her in the hall

"she wishes to see the babe" Rhaenyra said gritting her teeth in pain as Leanor grabbed her arm helping her walk

"I can take the babe to her grace you should be resting" he said making her shake her head

"no you will not take MY son to that bitch I will do it you may come if you please" Rhaenyra spitted out making him clench his jaw and nod he knew the boys were not his it was impossible for them to be his as she refused to bed someone with his taste but they were his through marriage and he was only really allowed to be a father in the eyes of the public

they slowly made there way to the queens chambers Leanor nodding at Ser criston and Ser Callum as they opened the doors for them which drew Rosalie's attention from the window who looked shocked seeing Rhaenyra walk into the room

"Rhaenyra you should be resting after your labors giving birth is quite exhausting" Rosalie said smiling at Leanor who nodded and smiled back

"I have no doubt that you would prefer that Your Grace" Rhaenyra gritted out glaring at her husband for being civil to the whore but he just rolled his eyes

"Clairice thank you very much I look forward to seeing the dresses" Rosalie said dismissing the seamstress making her nod and leave

"My son your grace" Rhaenyra said as Viserys walked into the room

"what happy news this day" Viserys said smiling he had another grandchild his daughter and him may not be on the best terms but they were just children and did nothing wrong he walked over to Rosalie and kissed her making her smile get bigger as a small blush coated her cheeks Leanor smiled at the love they shared

"Indeed it is your grace" Laenor agreed as Viserys picked up the babe "oh one handsome little man" he cooed making Rosalie's ovaries practically burst at the sight she loved seeing her husband with children it was a sight for sore eyes

she wished to have more children but after her difficult birth with the triplets and her youngest Darren they decided no more she was happy and loved all of her children she just wished she could of had a few more

" a fine prince sturdy you will make a fearsome knight real strong" Viserys boasted seeing Rhaenyra tense up from the corner of his eye Rosalie looked shocked at his words before trying not to smile as he spoke to her

"our little grandson"

"he yours and my mothers grandchild not her's" Rhaenyra said glaring at Rosalie who took a deep breathe

"he is also Rosalie's grandchild she is my wife and the mother to your half siblings" Viserys told Rhaenyra daring her to try him

"Does the little one have a name yet" Rosalie questioned looking towards Rhaenyra hoping to break the tension

"we haven't spoken-"

"Joffrey" Laenor cut her off making her glare at him "he will be named Joffrey after my dearest friend and a fearsome knight"

"we did not discuss that" Rhaenyra said "well you named our first two sons I get to name this one fair is fair he is my son as well is he not" Laenor challenged making her quite down and nod she couldn't say what she wished to in front of her father and Rosalie

"well Joffrey is a lovely name I am sure Ser Joffrey will be very pleased and honored to hear that" Rosalie said as she took the little babe from her husband

"oh you are adorable oh yes you are" she cooed as she lightly rocked the babe Viserys smiled softly at the sight he loved seeing her so happy

"your grace I believe you Daughter has overextended herself and should be back in bed" Ser Laenor said making Viserys nod as Rosalie handed the babe to Laenor they watched as the three left the room

"He certainly does not have the Valeryon features once again" Viserys said the disappointment clear in his voice as he wrapped his arms around Rosalie's waist pulling her into him

"perhaps her and Laenor tried and couldn't succeed" Rosalie offered making Viserys smile at his wife's attempt to calm his mind

"I love you and I still cant believe you try to defend her" Viserys said the only reason he hadn't named a new heir was because he felt guilty his wife Rhaenyra mother died and he practically ignored her giving her the title heir he hoped to give her something to look forward but as the year went on he wished to name a new heir

"I love you but I dont love Rhaenyra and I am not defending her merrily wishing to calm your mind I love our grandchildren and Laenor but not her " Rosalie replied and Viserys nodded his head understanding her

"the girls went the gardens to find bug's a few hours ago and I am sure Allora and Enora will be heading to the dragonpit for lessons I am sure Helena will be in her bug room she wished to show me what she found" Rosalie said shivering slightly making Viserys chuckle

she disliked bugs a lot but she supported her daughter's fascination with them and always put her discomfort to the side in order for Helena to show and teach her what she had learned something Viserys admired deeply about his sweet wife

"very well my love I have some things to get in order before the council meeting" Viserys said making her nod and kiss his cheek before leaving the room to head to the kitchens

--------------------------------------------

"you don't think to consult me before naming my child" Rhaenyra spatted in anger

"you have not even tried to do your duty with me I may not be there father by blood but Lucerys will take Driftmark after me because in the eyes of the gods and laws he is my son just as Jacareys and Joffrey I have some say in their names" Laenor said back he was tired of being pushed away form his own family

Rhaenyra didn't reply lost for words she wasn't use to him speaking back to her they silently walked back to their chambers
