Burning Love: Daemon Targaryen x Laena Velaryon

It's time|33|

Seven months had gone by, and Marcella was officially nine months along and ready to give birth any day. She was also growing restless.

"Marcella" Bash greeted her as she walked through the library, hoping to find a book her father asked for. She knew he could get it himself or have a maid do it, but he asked her to in order for her to feel useful, which she was grateful for.

"Bash, hello," she greeted back, kissing his cheek before he gently placed his hand on her stomach.

"How are you and the little one feeling?" He asked, worried for her, which made her smile, and gripped his hand, squeezing it gently.

"We are feeling fine, just annoyed. Between Theo, you, my father, and Laena, I am like a prisoner in my own home," she complained, walking to a couch and sitting down.

"You are not a prisoner; you can still see Bluefyre go to the gardens anywhere in the castle. We are all just worried for you and the baby Ella. We do not mean to be overbearing," Bash said, sitting down, placing her feet in his lap, and rubbing her ankles.

"I know, Bash, but why can't I do anything else?" She whined, making him laugh.

"Because it is not safe for you to go to Fleabottom when our baby can come at anytime, the maester and king forbade you from flying for the same reasons. Just a few more weeks and our baby will be here, and you can get back to your old routine." Theo's voice cut in, making them look at him to see him walking in with Aegon and Helena.

"Mama," Aegon said, rushing to her and making her giggle.

"Hi, my sweet boy," she said, kissing his cheek and letting him settle on her legs before she took a near-year-old Helena and placed her on her lap.

"I just want to get out," she complained, making both men laugh before they shared a small kiss as she distracted Aegon.

"Mama, I'm hungry." Aegon whined, making her smile.

"Okay, let us go get you some food," Marcella said as the doors opened, showing Grace and Alice, who were Aegon and Helena's handmaidens.

They both curtsied to her before standing tall. "We came to grab the little ones, Princess. The king has called for you. He said a council meeting had been called, and Helena is near feeding time." Grace explained, making her nod.

"Well, just in time, Aegon here is hungry, so please get him some lunch and obviously take Helena to Mary," Marcella said, handing her Helena as Alice cooed at the little princess, making her giggle, which brought a smile to everyone's face.

"Bye, mama," Aegon said, hugging her as she kissed his head, letting him get off her lap, and watching as he made his way to Theo and Bash, hugging them both.

"Bye," Aegon whispered as they pulled away. "Bye, little Prince," Bash said, ruffling his silver hair before Theo kissed his head.

"Bye little man, be good for Grace and Alice, alright?"

"Alright," Aegon said before leaving the room with the two ladies.

"Love, please don't cry. I can't do it again. This would be the fifth time today, and it is only noon," Theo said quickly as he stood up.

"But it was so cute, and you expect me to not cry? Well, guess what? I'm crying!" She practically yelled, making him wince and nod.

"your right It was adorable, my love. I am sorry. Do you need help getting up?" He asked as Bash tried not to laugh.

"Yes," she pouted, taking the hand he was offering and hissing as she felt a cramp in her lower stomach.

"you alright? He asked, cradling her stomach and smiling when he felt a sturdy kick.
