Ages are not often confirmed, more so implied.
I did switch up the years they're born apart from one another for some.
This story will not follow the accuracies of the book or show. Only main plot points.
Realized I totally forgot some characters :'(

Not long after Aemon's name day was he declared the heir.

There were whispers of whom his betrothed would be not even days after the declaration.

Jaehaerys recalled the times where his children's were not yet grown, not so matured. He sometimes craves for when they'd hide behind his legs, seeking his protection instead of rushing at the world.And now his son has been made heir, Alysanne has been speaking of betrothing Alyssa and Baelon, looking for a match for Aemon. He wonders where the time went.

At his side is Avella, glowing as radiant as she always does, although, his eyes cannot help but linger on her shape with a nagging pull in his thoughts. He can't quite place his finger on it.

Not until his sister-wife asks for his time before he's set to meet with the Baratheons.

To discuss a possible engagement.

Alysanne looks ready to birth, the babe's weight bringing about the familiar exhaustion accompanied by most of her previous pregnancies.

She pulls him into a room, her exhaustion unable to mask her concern which has Jaehaerys on guard, his hands reaching to grasp her arms lightly, "What is it?"

"Avella," is what Alysanne speaks and Jaehaerys feels his heart drop to his stomach. "I think she is with child." Her lips pull into a frown but Jaehaerys is mind goes blank.

With child.

Avella is having a babe.

She's going to have his babe.

It's his.

He snaps back to the present when Alysanne carresses his face, "I don't know who the father is. But she must wed immediately. This won't look good for our reputation, Jaehaerys. There is a Lannister boy, although quite young in comparison, it may work-"

"No," Jaehaerys states before she can finish and his words, although not having meant to, are filled with irritation.

How will he tell her?

Does Avella even know?

He excuses himself, the topic will be handled after he's finished with his engagements.

Alysanne nods.

The day falls to night and Jaehaerys stands before Avella with a new eye.

"You're pregnant."

What do they do now?

"Do you..not want this child."

He does.

"I do."
