Elaena was resting in her bed, when Jacaerys came in. She had been suffering from morning sickness, but thankfully near the end of it.

She smiled as the door opened revealing her husband. He walked over to sit at the edge of the bed. He smiled, placing his hand over her swollen bump which was now very visible through her nightgown.

"How are you?" He asked, caressing her bump.

"I'm fine, I think my morning sickness shall be gone for good soon" I smiled.

"Good" He smiled.

"I have some news" he added, looking a little bit nervous.

Elaena swallowed, she hated when he had that look on his face. "Go on" she whispered.

"It's....seasmoke. He was spotting flying, but not alone. He has a rider, el" he said.

He watched her carefully to see her expression. Elaena was laenors child. They may not have been related, but he never treated her as they weren't. They had a very close bond, one that had sadly been broken when he had passed away all those years ago.

Elaena smiled. "That's good. It better not be a green."

Jacaerys brows furred "I thought you'd be angrier. You always loved seasmoke, and he even had a soft spot for you...I mean most dragons would kill you if you weren't their rider. I thought you'd be upset"

"Oh Jace, as much as I do loved seasmoke, he deserves to have a rider. All those years by himself must have saddened him. I'm glad he's not alone anymore" she smiled.

Jacaerys returned the smile, taking her hand in his own, interlinking their fingers "I'm glad your not upset" he whispered, lifting his hand up to kiss hers.

She giggled as he did "Will you stay with me.....I'm very bored jace" she pouted.

Jacaerys chuckled at her request, before nodding his head and moving to lay against the headboard beside her.

"Of course, I'll stay as long as you want" he whispered kissing her lips gently.

She smiled victoriously, laying down again, this time on his chest. She sighed tiredly, her body was exhausted from all the vomiting from the last couple days.

Jacaerys smiled down at her, gentky playing with her long dark hair, lulling her to sleep. He felt her pregnant bump gently poking his side through her white nightgown as she drifted off to sleep.

As Jacaerys watched her fall asleep he swore to himself he'd never let anyone or anything hurt her, and their unborn child.

Later that day Jacaerys informed Elaena that the rider and their mother had arrived back, and a council meeting was called. He asked her to stay and rest, she was having none of it.

They walked out onto the large balcony, hand in hand, watching as syrax and seasmoke returned, both with riders.

Elaena tried to catch a glimpse of seasmokes rider, but they were too high up and she had no look.

"Who do you think it is?" Jacaerys asked.

Elaena stared up at the dragon and smiled at it, upon seeing her the dragon let out a little whine.

"Someone unexpected" she replied.

Jacaerys watched her for a moment, and smiled seeing seasmoke had recognised her. "Someone's happy to see you. Come on, we'll be late" he had putting a hand on her back and guiding her back inside.
