The Rogue Prince and the Direwolf's daughter

Chapter 5 - Jaehaerys and Jaehaera Targaryen, son and daughter of Dragonstone

A year later.

Daena is being examined by the maester to make sure that the child she is expecting, is doing well and growing like expected. Daemon standing back nervously waiting.
"You and his grace prince Daemon are having twins, princess, a son and a daughter", the maester says.
"Twins?" Daemon asks surprised.
"Yes, m'lord", the maester says.
"I believe we'll be in need of a second dragon's egg, my love", Daena says, smiling at her princely husband.
"I'll go and get one, I'm going to the caves by the dragon pit anyway, perhaps I'll find another of Winter's eggs, she had laid several eggs there, and I'll have a larger cradle put in our room, so that we can have the twins sleeping in our rooms for a while when they are born", Daemon says.
"Thank you, my love", Daena says.
"Have the incubator ready for my return", Daemon tells one of the dragon keepers.
"Yes, my prince", the man says.

Daena gets her clothes back on and watches Daemon straddle Caraxes and fly off to the caves to get a second dragon's egg so that both twins can get a dragon's egg in the cradle.

She sits in the small garden at Dragonstone with her ladies in attendance doing some needlework.
"I heard you were examined by the maester this morning, princess", her handmaiden Anya Hightower says.
"Yes, me and my husband the prince Daemon believed that we were only expecting one child, but the maester told us that we are expecting twins, a son and a daughter", Daena says. "We had only picked out one dragon's egg, that's why my lord husband flew off so rapidly on Caraxes, to get some more dragon eggs to incubate here at Dragonstone."
"That's wonderful news", Anya says. "Have you thought of names for them yet?"
"Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, their father has decided", Daena says.
"Fitting for children born of the dragon's house", Anya says.
"Well, their father is a dragon and I, their mother, am a wolf", Daena says.

That evening, Daemon returns from the caves with eight dragon eggs. He sends them to the specially built incubators and goes to find Daena. He finds her in their rooms and hugs her from behind.
"Hey, you smell wonderful, did you just bathe?" Daemon asks.
"Mm, yeah, I just had a bath...you smell like you might need one too, you smell like a dragon, if I didn't feel your arms around me, I'd mistake you for Caraxes", Daena says.
"I am a dragon, but I'm not my dragon", Daemon and Daena giggles at him.
"Did you find what you were looking for in the caves?" Daena asks.
"Yes, I found what I was looking for, I found several dragon eggs, I brought back eight, but there was at least six more there, maybe ten, a total of three clutches of eggs laid by Winter, if you wish I could fly back and retrieve the rest", Daemon says.
"Good, yes, retrieve them and when you return I can have a bath and dinner waiting for you", Daena says.
"Thank you, my love, I will return swiftly", Daemon says, bending down to kiss her.

Daemon returns to Caraxes and takes flight for the caves again to retrieve the rest of the dragon eggs. He speedily picks them up one by one and puts them in a bag before straddling his dragon and giving him the command to fly back to the castle where Daena is waiting for him with a bubbling hot bath and dinner.
"Ten more eggs incubating under our feet", Daemon says as he enters his and Daena's chambers where she is waiting for him with a hot bath and dinner.
"So possibly eighteen more dragons", Daena says.
"Yes, I suppose the royal children, if there are more than my niece, will require a dragon each", Daemon says.
"Your niece already has a dragon, right?" Daena asks.
"Oh yes, little Rhaenyra already has a dragon, Syrax, a she dragon", Daemon says.
"Perhaps your brother will have other children that may require dragons", Daena says lightly. "And we will surely have more than the twins we're expecting now."
"I want a whole flock of children", Daemon says.
"Me too", Daena says.
"I can hardly wait to meet our twins", Daemon says, kneeling before Daena with his lips gently rubbing against her growing stomach.
"Me either", Daena says, entangling her fingers in his silver blonde hair.
"How far along did the maester say that you are?" Daemon asks.
"The maester says I'm about four months pregnant, he determines the time of conception might have been our wedding night", Daena says. "He said that flying daily is fine for another three months, bedding you I'm allowed to do pretty much until it's time to give birth."
"Thank goodness our maester isn't some pious fool who sees the act of lovemaking as something sinful", Daemon says lightly.

Five months later.

Daena feels her labor pains coming in the early morning and wakes Daemon who's sleeping beside her. He quickly puts a robe on and tells servants to bring the maester for his bride.

Daena is in labor for ten agonizing hours before the twins, a boy and a girl, are born, the boy first and the girl shortly after.
"Jaehaerys and Jaehaera", Daemon says proudly.
"Have ravens sent out to tell the realm the joyous news of the births of a son and daughter for the Rogue Prince of Dragonstone and the Direwolf's daughter", Daena says.
"Yes, lady Daena", the maester says, excusing himself to go get quill, parchment paper, ink and prince Daemon's personal seal.
