Valyria Targaryen was a surprise to the world. Of course everyone noticed the queen was slightly larger than she was with her two first born children but she was still small as if she was just carrying the one babe.
When Valyria was born she looked just as her siblings did but she was much smaller than her older twin. While her twin brother came out of the womb crying and showing off his lungs, his dear sister had come out quiet and peacefully.
"It's a girl, Your Grace." The handmaiden spoke to the queen.
"Is she alright?" Alicent looked worriedly between the boy in her arms and the younger babe in the woman's. The silence of the young girl was concerning.
"Yes, My Queen. I believe she is sleeping." The woman walked the second babe to the queen's bedside.
Alicent had given her son she named Aemond to another handmaiden to place him in his cot while she reached for her youngest child. Still worried about her not crying Alicent caressed her daughter's face. Thankfully the babe's warmth and heartbeat could be felt. Alicent let out a sigh of relief.
"Just precious are you?" Alicent whispered as she stared down at her youngest child.
At the sound of her words the babe's eyes opened and revealed the beautiful lilac colored eyes underneath. Alicent gasped in shock, she knew the Targaryen line had consisted of purple eyes but she herself had never witnessed such a beauty.
"Hello my darling." Alicent smiled as she placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead.
Just then the door to Alicent's chamber was opened. "King Viserys, My Queen." Her husband was announced as he made his way into the room to see his wife and his child.
Visery's eyes went from his wife to the babe in the cradle who was looking around at what he was able. "Ah the babe!" The King made his way to the cradle and smiled down.
"A boy. Aemond." Alicent spoke to her husband, but her eyes stayed on her daughter who stared right back up at her. Her precious daughter who was quiet but alive. Nearly giving her mother a scare for how silent she was.
"A name for a Targaryen." Viserys claimed looking at his son. His gaze waivered as he looked from the boy to his wife who stared at the second child in her arms. "Two children?" He asked as he made his way over to the two of them.
"Yes, My King." Alicent was tearing up as the girl grabbed her mother's finger and held on tight.
"She is a true Targaryen." Viserys smiled as he noticed her eyes. "Valyria she shall be called. For she is going to be as beautiful as Valyria was." He grabbed the babe out of her mother's arms and smiled at her.
Alicent had rolled her eyes at her baby being taken from her arms but it was quickly replaced with a small smile as she started to hear her baby cry. Viserys jumped as he heard his son cry out as he heard his sister.
"Seems they are much in sync." He laughed as he handed Valyria back to his wife.
"Yes, my king." She smiled halfheartedly at him. Though when Valyria was put back in her arms she gave a real smile to her daughter. She motioned for the nearest handmaiden to give her Aemond as well so she could try and calm them both at the same time. Though as soon as Aemond and Valyria were both in their mother's arms, the babes calmed down.
Alicent smiled as she looked between the two children. These were her babes. For she knew that there was no expectations of them as they are the second son and daughter. Alicent knew she was going to do well to give Valyria a say in her life, unlike she herself had. She would raise the children to be who they were meant to be and not what is expected of them.
Alicent carefully placed Aemond back in his cradle next to her bed but since they were expecting just one babe they didn't have another nor had they made the cradle big enough for two.
"You are a delightful surprise my princess." Alicent traced her finger along her daughter's face causing the young babe to have a small smile. Alicent would never admit how good it made her feel to have seen her daughter cry at not being in her arms as her father held her. "I do wish to give you everything you'd ever like. My precious." Alicent pulled her close and kissed her nose.
Together the mother and daughter fell asleep side by side, for the first time Alicent felt genuinely happy.
