not a brother or sister bound by blood, but something more

✾✾✾

Whatever time Lady Aurora did not spend with her husband, she spend in the presence of her good-sister Princess Helaena and her three young children. Her own belly kept swelling as well, and it had grown uncomfortable to the point she hated doing mundane things, huffing as she moved around.

Helaena had laughed at her when she saw her try go around and about once more, she had been confined to her chambers in her last moon, but Aurora had looked down at the poor midwife who tried to inform her of the plans and dared not go against the lady, not even when the Queen commanded it. Aurora had confided in Aemond about her wishes to keep going until she physically couldn't anymore and then she would let herself be confined to a bed, but she had been in her eight moon, and the heat was missed mostly by the Lady who enjoyed her moments of peace. She loved Helaena, and the sweet children she had, as she loved Aemond as well. But everyone became so suffocating now that she came nearer the end of her term.

"Escaping as well" she heard as she hit herself away in a small section of the garden she had found where the sun would always be shining until the evening hit, and none would notice her. She looked to the voice as she saw Aegon laying on the grass.

There had been one small stone bench under a wheeping willow tree which had been in full bloom as Aegon had layed away from her. "What are you escaping from?" Aurora asked as she let out a breath again. "Everyone" Aegon said, not turning to look at his brother's wife. "I am honestly surprised Aemond let you waver from his side" Aegon said.

Aurora smirked proudly. "I may have asked him for something to be fetched from town before I made my escape" Aurora said proudly as she looked to Aegon. Aegon grinned. "Clever" he said as he sat up, looking to her. "Are you alright?" Aegon asked. Her cheeks were flushed, and she kept taking short breaths in and out. Aegon was surprisingly observant considering he always acted like he did not care for anyone or anything. "I am fi—" Aurora said before she felt the same numb pain in her body which she had been feeling all morning, which had been why she had send Aemond away to relax on her own.

"You do not look it" Aegon said as she looked to him. "Thank you" she said, her tone sarcastic as she looked to Aegon, she would never have dared had she not been swollen with her babes. "Do you feel a pain?" Aegon then asked, standing to his feet as he looked to her and Aurora nodded, surprised. "I think your labours are starting, Helaena had the same look when she found herself in her labours with the twins" Aegon said looking around, but they had been well hidden away.

"Well, I shall see the Maesters then—" Aurora started before she cried out when the new pain had been harsher and felt like stabbing before she felt liquid travel down her legs. Tears sprung into her eyes, no, no no no, she chanted into her head, not caring Aegon stood before her as she pulled up the light green skirt of her dress as she saw blood tickle down her thighs. "No, no" she cried out as she saw the blood starting to stain her dress. "I will fetch a Maester, and the midwives" Aegon said as he tried to turn around and find them, Gods knew where they were in the Keep for Aegon did not.
