"Grandpa?"
"Oh my precious," viserys chuckled. "You wound me." He put his hand on his chest leaning back in his chair.
"What? Why? What did I do?" Vaera questioned. Big beautiful eyes staring up at him.
"Im not your grandsire."
"But you are so old." Vaera answered.
"Oh Vis im so sorry. " avalon failed to hold back a laugh.
"Its alright," viserys assured with a low chuckle. "Im glad to be her papa. We both rhaenyra will never make me one."
"Hey now. Rhaenyra is struggling to hold a child to term just like aemma." Avalon reminded him. Vaera was three and rhaenyra had two more unfortunate miscarriages.
"You are right". Viserys agreed softly thinking back on that moment when Aemma told him it was the last time. She was done. She couldnt handle any more loss. The reason he named rhaenyra was because young and healthy and his blood. She should have been able to give the realms an heir. He did believe in her. But he saw the realms waver every time she didnt produce an heir.
"You are certainly strengthening the line." He smiled looking at her plump stomach. Avalon smiled touching her stomach lovingly.
"Im so excited. Vaera will be a very good very blunt big sister." Avalon realized.
"I like her." Aegon decided.
"Oh good." Avalon agreed. "It's only been three years debating?" she mused.
"I liked her from the start." Aegon assured. "I'm not sure about Helaena."
"Oh honey," Avalon laughed looking to Harwin.
"Are you and mother having babies at the same time again?'
"Seems so." Avalon agreed. "Rhaenyra is pregnant again, maybe-"
"She never has a baby." Aegon corrected. "Mother said its because she is a hostile womb"
"Well I will need to speak to your mother about whats appropriate for little ears." Avalon decided.
"I didnt say that." Alicent countered. "Out loud."
"You two used to be the best of friends."
"Then I married her father and gave the realms a son." Alicent reminded her. "I'm sorry that I'm not as easy to let go of such things. She treated me like I was a monster for years. I can't just turn that pain off."
"I'm not asking you to but Aegon is going around telling people his big sister Rhaenyra has a hostile womb." Avalon countered. Alicents face fell.
"I will talk to him."
"Thank you." Avalon agreed.
"Grandpa gave me a cookie," Vaera whispered to harwin.
"Oh? Before your supper?"
"Yeah." She agreed. Harwin cocked his head in return. "Dont tell mommy." She added kissing his cheek and wrapping little arms around his neck. Harwin smiled snuggling her close.
"My vaera..." Harwin whispered kissing her cheek.
Rhaenyra stared longingly at harwin as he passed with vaera in his arms she was so little and he was so large it made her look even smaller.
"Handsome." Laenor agreed. Rhaenyra flicked back. "How is the baby? How are you?"
"He is handsome." Rhaenyra agreed.
"How is the babe? Have you seen the maester? Does he know why this keeps happening?"
"He is quite useless." Rhaenyra assured. "Maybe its your fault." Laenor faltered as rhaenyra marched off.
"Hi mama," vaera said leaning forward in harwins arms. "I definitely didnt have a cookie before supper." She tried to wink at harwin.
"Definitely not." Harwin confirmed. "And it definitely wasnt grandsire."
"Grandpa vis." Vaera agreed. Avalon laughed out.
"Oh throwing viserys under the carriage." Avalon declared
"What did i do?" Vaera asked. Big violet eyes started up at her.
"Just being the cutest little girl in the world." Avalon added.
"I am cute." Vaera agreed.
"You ready for this baby?" Harwin questioned over supper. Avalon ran a hand over her stomach.
"In not hungry for veggies." Vaera decided.
"Then no more cookies." Harwin pulled the plate to the center of the table and vaera gasped. "You said you weren't hungry."
"Mama!"
"I'm content. I was really worried for vaeras birth but this time around i feel more comfortable. Confident. Im ready for this baby. I'm excited for another child. You ready for a sibling my heart?" Avalon questioned
"Ma... ma!" Vaera begged reaching out for the plate to no use. She stood on her chair grunting as she wiggled to her the plate. "Mama help me!" She demanded
"You have veggies on your plate." Avalon countered
"Gross! Daddy Cookie me!"
