Love Story // Viserys Targaryen // Alicent Hightower / POLY

59. Vaera

Avalon loved being a mother. She loved how aemond was so small and delicate just like viserys said avalon was. He was so little. So precious. He had little toes that she was constantly touching and little fingers that gripped hers whenever she reached outnfor him.

Raising argon was good practice for aemond but aemond was completely different from little aegon.

When aemond was born aegon thought he was weird and too little. You have a little brother. He thought that meant someone to wrestle with not a baby. That was weird. What did babies even do. But avalon put aemond in his arms at aegons request of course and aegon seemed really proud of himself.

Aegon held little aemond in his arms. He gigled as aemond tutted out.

"I think he farted on me". Aegon chuckled.

"I think he pooped." Avalon corrected. Aegons smile dropped.

"You want him back?" Aegon questioned nudging aemond away. "Mama you want him back? Take him. Why are you laughing! Take him!"

"Im sorry honey!" Avalon controlled herself.

"Ma!" Aegon demanded. "This is disgusting!"

Avalon cleaned up aemond. His little face held a smile and he slapped his lips happily as she dragged a fresh wet cloth up the explosion of shit running up his little booty. Aegon scrunched up his face shaking his head.

"Babies are gross."

"Youwere a baby." Avalon countered.

"But not like that. I dont poop myself." Aegon corrected.

"You used to." Aegon stared back at her horrified as if it never occured to him that he might have been a stinky baby at one point. He was always just awesome.

Aemond slapped at viserys shirtless chest and tried to suckle. "Not gonna happen, little nugget." He moved aemond away with a laugh. "I don't have the right equipment," he added, handing him over to avalons waiting arms. Each time avalon breastfed their son, viserys watched like nothing had ever fascinated him more. And maybe nothing had?

When you think about it, it's truly a miracle the things our bodies are capable of. But she didnt think he looked this intrigued when alicent breastfed aegon and helaena.

Aemond eventually fell asleep, his little head pressed against avalons breast, and viserys told her he'd take aemond so avalon didn't have to get up. He scooped aemond carefully from her arms, aemonds little head supported just right as he laid him down gently in his bassinette beside their bed.

But aemond was up before they knew it and avalon got up as viserys was in a dead sleep. She smiled kissing his little head. Alicent didnt miss nightly feeding and wet nurses. She didnt miss waking up for babies cries in the middle of the night. She loved avalon and wanted to be there for her but also alicent liked her sleep and avalon didnt blame her.

"Im a little dragon strong and stour. Here is my tail and here is my snout. If I get upset, you better watch you! I'll roar and shout and stomp about!" Avalon sung out. Aemond giggled up at her. "Your daddy used to sing me that." Avalon added. Aemond smiled settling back into a slumber as avalon sung softly.

While aemond didnt let them have much time for sleep viserys and avalon found other ways to spend their night. So it really wasnt a surprise when avalon was late.

It wasn't long after aemond was born that avalon realized she was pregnant again. She wasntnsure but she was certain something was going on. She wanted lotsnof children. She had been waiting on love for toonlong and now she had to catchnup. Avalon smiled back at viserys as she ran a hand over her stomach. He kissed her cheek and she leaned into him as alicent came in. Helaena chasing after her.

Avalon woke up after having a dream. A wonderful dream. She dreamt of a baby girl. Silver hair and a charming smile.

"Your daddy had the same dream about you too. Well not the same dream and it was a few years before you were born, but... dreams are special. They speak to us sometimes."

"I dreamt my dragon ate me." Aegon told her and Avalon opened her mouth wordlessly.

"I... that sounds awful. I'm so sorry my love."

"I'm fine." Aegon assured. "I don't have a dragon yet so, couldn't eat me... well." Avalon chuckled it just slipped out as Aegon was just now realizing the dangers of dragons.

"Thank the Gods that you are still here, I wouldn't know what to do without my favorite boy." Avalon agreed kissing his head. ''And last night my little prince i had a similar dream.''

"Avalon..." viserys declared. "Again?"

"A little girl. I even had a dream of her name." Avalon admitted.

"Vaera." They both said and avalons heas cocked to viserys

"Yes that's right." She agreed "how did you?"

"I had the same dream. Oh she looked just like you avalon!"

"Whats going on?"alicent questioned.

"Im pregnant again. A little girl." Avalon remarked. Alicent moved swiftly to her holding her close.

"That's wonderful." Alicent agreed. "How do you know its a girl?" Avalon and viserys shared a look.

"We both drempt it."
