"You have to make a decision, the babe or the princess"

"Rhaenyra did you hear that you are going to be an aunt" Viserys asked his youngest child after Aerion told him the news

" Mhm" Rhaenyra spoke not taking her eyes of off her book

"You shall be the death of me my child"

---------

As the moons past and Alicent progressed further along into the pregnancy

"Aerion, my son" Viserys greeted as Aerion walked into the small council room

"Sorry I am late Alicent needed me" Aerion said sitting down in the chair left of his father

"Tis alright, we are making plans for the tourney"

"What tourney?" Aerion questioned

"The one for your child, we must celebrate with a tourney" Viserys told his son making Aerion freeze he did not want Alicent suffering the same fate as his mother

"There shall be no tourney" Aerion said calmly

"It is for your heir, there will be a tourney" Viserys said looking around the room at all the other lords none interrupting the two

"No, as you said it is my heir so I will decide if there is a tourney or not" Aerion spoke before leaving the room and returning back to his chambers seeing Alicent laying on the bed a book in hand

"That was a quick council meeting" Alicent said putting her book down

"Yes, my father wishes for an heirs tourney" Aerion said resting a hand on Alicent's stomach

"Oh"

"I have refused, we all know what happened at the last one" Aerion said

---------

"Aerion I want Aerion" Alicent told the maester as her contractions hit "ah"

"Your grace, it is improper for the prince to be here"

"I do not care, I want my husband"

"Let me in the room" Aerion spoke as he heard Alicent's cries from inside the room

"My prince I" the midwife at the door said before being barged passed by Aerion who made a bee line towards his wife holding her hand to offer as much comfort as he can

"You are doing so well my love" Aerion said glaring at anyone who tried to make him leave

"My prince" Maester Mellos beckons him over to the other side of the room Aerion begrudgingly walks over "the babe is compromised" Aerion's face drains of any colour something which is evident to Alicent as now she is worried too "you have to make a decision, the babe or the princess"
