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...
Alicent didn't let anyone else hold her baby girl. Daeron was passed off to viserys he was proud to have another son. He- like most- found it strange that Aranyani had beautiful auburn hair and deep forest green eyes. But it didnt matter to alicent. Aranyani was hers.
Just as rhaenyra said about her boys. It doesnt matter what they think you are targaryen thats all that matters. Aranyani was Alicents little girl and that was all that mattered.
Daeron saved his twin from any insults. Without him Ara would have been labeled the bastard that Alicent knew she was.
Well she didnt know but she knew. How couldnt she be? Four children with silver hair and violet eyes before aranyani came into the world. So beautiful and perfect. Alicent prayed for her. Prayed harder than she ever had before.
"She's perfect." Criston whispered as he rocked Aranyani back to sleep. She rubbed her cheek against his chest. "Gods, she is so little." Criston added moving to Alicent's side. He sat on the edge of the bed. ALicent looked and felt like a mess. She body ached and was sore, her stomach still stretched, she hated the post pregnancy. While pregnant, sure she looked like an expecting mother, no one said anything about swollen ankles and bags under your eyes but the moment the baby was born she was expected to get back to her old self.
She was the queen after all she needed to lose the weight and tighten up for when the king needed her. Alicent dreaded that day. But right now she loved that Criston was here, smiling down at their daughter.
Criston never looked at her like she was the queen. He looked at her like a man in love with a woman. There was a similar adoration and devotion as her constituents but there was more to it with criston. That look was reserved just for her. And now it seemed Ara. He looked down at their daughter with so much love.
Of course Alicent didnt know for certain, of course Criston didnt know for certain either but they knew, deep down, that Aranyani Targaryen, was really Aranyani Cole.
"Hi sweetheart." Criston whispered as Alicent peered out from the blankets she had bundled herself in trying to hide her figure and sagging skin. "So beautiful like mama already, yes you are precious girl." Criston whispered down to Aranyani, kissing her little face. Her eyes opened, a sea of green stared up at him before closing her eyes again. "She is just the most beautiful little girl in the world." Criston couldnt stop saying it. He just loved this tiny human so much already.
"She really is." Alicent agreed.
"Alicent..."
"I wouldnt change a thing. She is what i prayed for. You are what i prayed for."
"Davina what are you-"
"Newly married and fled the sence of the crime." Davina declared cutting off her cousin.
"Tell me you didnt kill prince Tommen Martell?" Viserys begged.
"Nonsense." Davina declared. "Hes barfing over there. He doesnt like flying yet." Davina added. Viserys glanced over to the stunningly charming prince tommen. His sandy blonde hair, caramel colored eyes and tanned skin had every woman chasing him and yet tommen had always chased after Davina.
"I heard you had another- well not you- hey kid." Davina smiled down at Aegon. "Looking good cutie."
"I know." Aegon agreed.
"Alright." Davina murmured watching him walk off. "Hes got my attitude." Davina looked back to her cousin. "Where is she? You got her dragon yet?"
"Of course thats all you care about."
"Nonsense. I wanted to pick out an egg for her."
"Its twins."
"I only brought the one." Davina corrected glancing back at tommen. "Tom!" She shouted. "Bring the egg!"
"Fury doesnt want me to." Tommen countered.
"Fury likes you." Davina assured. "So where is the baby?"
"You care about children? Since when?"
"You are right i dont. But i want to give her the egg."
"Hello fury. Davina loves me. You should like me." Tommen remarked stepping closer. Fury glared back at him as he attempted to reach for the bag.

"Someone is here." Criston remarked. Alicent looked up from Aranyani hesitantly. "They have a dragon."
"Dragon." Alicent whispered moving to the balcony. She smiled seeing the beautiful black dragon with emerald eyes. "Thats viserys cousin. Davina."
Davina was the one to hold alicent after she ran from her husband in tears. She had become queen and then she was raped by her husband and a complete stranger offered her so much kindness.
"She came for Aranyani no doubt." Alicent realized.
"What a good friend." Criston agreed. "I should probably get back to my post then."
Alicent knew he was right but she didnt want him to leave.
