Queen Aemma's  screams I all that was heard in the castle. She has been in labor since the sun rose and her screams were just getting more painful to hear. "PLEASE.... MAKE IT... STOP!", she screams at the maester. The maester looks at the queen and approaches her. He looks to see if she is ready to birth her babe.

"My Queen your ready to push." The queen was exhausted. She has been losing blood. Aemma felt a sharp pain and started to push. "Push your grace" the midwife says while wiping the sweat off Aemma's head.

After a few more pushes aemma feels immediately relieved from the pain she was feeling. However there was no cry from her babe, a babe should cry but none could be heard within the queens chambers.

Before she could question anything aemma felt a sharp pain from a stomach. "Somethings wrong", she says clutching the sheets in pain. The maester hands the babe to a midwife and checks the queen and makes a discovery. "My Queen its another babe you will have to push again" , he says. Aemma gathers her strength again and starts pushing. "Ahhhh..." she screams in pain.

A minute later a cry could be heard coming from the babe in the maester hands and aemma takes a relieved breathe. "A girl your grace", says the midwife. The maester wrapped the babe and handed her to aemma. Aemma looks at the little girl in her arms, she saw white hair peeking out from underneath the blanket , dark violet eyes staring at her, soft pale skin and chubby cheeks.

" What about the other one?" Aemma asked. The maester looked at the queen with pity. "She did not make it my queen," he says giving the queen a look of sorrow. "Give her to me. I wish to see her", Aemma demanded.

The maester collects the babe and hands her to Aemma. Aemma looks at the little babe in her arms and starts rocking back and forth while holding her tightly in her arms. "Please give her back " she whispers praying to the gods to give her daughter back "Please " she pleads and starts crying softly.

Suddenly a cry was heard coming from the babe in the queens arms.

"A blessing from the gods" , one of the midwives cried.
