It had been a few days since the twins' birth, Helaena was recovering well and fast. Aemond had been somewhat of a good father, but he usually spent his time where he usually was. The few moments where Alana saw Alicent were awkward, but Alicent never mentioned it but Aegon and Alana both locked the door whenever they both were in the chambers together.

Alana currently sat in the maesters office, she had known for weeks but hadn't fully had it confirmed. She was excited but nervous especially since childbirth is how Arra Norrey died.

She watched as the Grand Maester Orwyle, walked over to her. "How are you my lady?" He grabbed a chair and placed it down where she sat.

"Fine." Alana nodded, twisting her rings. "But I am certain I'm with child."

"Oh." Grand Maester Orwyle looked at her shocked by her words but nodded. "When was the last time you had your moon blood?"

"2 moons ago..at first I just thought it was stress perhaps, but I haven't gotten my blood this moon."  Alana looked up at him, still fidgeting with her rings.

Maester Orwyle nodded, "Have you experienced Nausea? Fatigue? Swelling of your chest?"

Alana listened to his every word and nodded.

"Well It seems you are indeed with child, two moons." Maester Orwyle spoke with a smile on his face, the words that he spoke made the whole situation real, and reality was beginning to seep in.

Alana let out a shaky breath and nodded, standing up. "Thank you Maester Orwyle."

"Congratulations, my lady. The gods will gift you with a healthy child." He smiled again, before Alana left the room.

She walked down the hall, she could faintly hear the twins crying somewhere in the castle, but she knew Helaena and her nursemaids would take care of them.

Alana wondered what Aegon would react, would he be happy? Would he get upset? The halls were empty with no one around, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

She brought her hand up to tiny bump on her stomach. As she continued to walk her mind started to think about childbirth, and the many dangers of it. How many woman lost their lives because of it.

Despite her worries she felt excited, having a tiny life grow inside of her, creating a family with the man she loved. She hoped Aegon would react well.

Eventually she got to her shared chambers, she shut the door and locked it, seeing Aegon with his riding leathers, smelling like dragon from across the room. She took her hand off her stomach and walked to him.
