KING'S LANDING

After the coronation it was clear what took place that night, their marriage was consummated and it was clear that they were going to have a lot of children.  It was not heard of anything that had happened to Dowager Queen Alicent, which slightly concerned Rhaenya.

There were sayings that she was going insane... and possibly still calling Jace a bastard.

The rumors were only heard throughout amongst the ladies at the court, which had gotten news of the Pregnant Queen.

Rhaenya's pregnant belly was huge compared to her last two pregnancies, it made her face swollen. She looked at herself in the mirror holding her stomach.   She did most of her duties in her bed chambers not leaving her room, Jace was in the council room ordering and finishing things up.

The conversation about the marriage of the two-year-old Princess Visenya was brought up.  Jace was sure that he wasn't going to make a stupid decision especially, since that Rhaenya left this job up to him.

"She could marry Prince Aegon III," Corlys Velaryon suggested, as he looked at Jacaerys and his granddaughter.

Baela raised her eyebrow at her grandfather "How about Viserys? Visenya and Viserys could get along in the future, I think Rhaenya would like that more,"

"Your majesty, IF Princess Visenya, and Viserys do get betrothed to one another, would that mean  you name them your heir to take your throne afterward?"

Jace ran his hands through his hair, he was stressed he got up and looked at the council, "We can discuss this once her majesty Queen Rhaenya gives birth and she can get back onto the table,"

Then he got up from the table and excused himself, all the others got up and looked at Jace. They all curtsied or bowed looking at Jace leave.

He just wanted to go see his wife, his walking paced down the hall to go find her in her chambers. Rhaenya was asleep, her hand resting on her stomach, Jace kissed her lips ever so gently.

"Darling," Jace whispered looking at her, Rhaenya had rules of no shoes on the bed, as he took his shoes off. He laid carefully next to her and he opened his arms.

Rhaenya lifted her head onto his arms before she went back to sleep, she groaned, her hand still resting on her stomach.

He gently kissed her head before he put his hand on her stomach, and Rhaenya shifted to look at him, her eyes open slowly looking at him with a smile.

"Hi," She smiles at him, she gives him a small kiss on his nose, "How did the council meeting go?"

"Eh, still deciding a betrothal for Visenya," He whispered, closing his eyes, he nudged his neck into her shoulders.

She rubbed her stomach again and took a deep sigh smiling at Jace, "Avy jorrāelan," I love you, she wanted to know if Jace was able to translate this.

"Right now really?" He looked up at her with pouting eyes, she smirked at him looking at him. "I love you too,"

Rhaenya smiled, kissing his lips, she loved him, she never loved anyone more than him. Jace's lips gently tugged on hers as he kissed her back. His hair was growing out and she gently ran her fingers through his hair.

Jace's hand traveled down to Rhaenya's stomach, he looked up at her, "How many more moons?"

The Queen looked up at her King, she tilted her head sitting up on the bed, "One more,"

She held her stomach while groaning her face was swelling up and she didn't know what more to do. She never left her chambers, she was too embarrassed to do anything.  "Jace, is the nursery ready?"

"It is all perfect, we did get the extra crib that you wanted," He kissed her forehead, Jace believed in all the instincts  that Rhaenya had, she thought that she was going crazy when she said she might be pregnant with twins.

Jace believed her and he couldn't be any more excited, he kept her hand on her stomach then their door opened. The two-year-old Visenya ran through the room, "Momma! Dadda!" 

Her arms were up wanting to get picked up, "Uppy!"

Elaena walked followed behind Visenya, she looked at them with a smile, "Sorry, she wanted to come see you,"

"Don't worry about it," Rhaenya smiled, she couldn't reach down to get Visenya as Jace picked her up for her.

"Hi Princess," Jace kissed her on the cheek and she smiled at him, she touched his face.

"Papa!" She smiled looking at Jace, "My papa,"

Jace held her close to her and he kissed her on the forehead, Rhaenya smiled at the two interacting. "Elaena, how is she doing?"

"She is doing well, eating, running around, she's quite active," Elaena came behind Rhaenya and massaged her shoulders.

Rhaenya smiled,  kissing Visenya's cheek, "She's a wild little dragon, aren't you?"

Visenya blushed, her big chubby cheeks and she nodded, "Papa can we rwide Vermax again?"

The Queen's eyes widened, she hadn't heard of this yet, "Did Papa take you on a dragon ride without my permission?"

Visenya covered her mouth, "Uh oh, I wasn't suwpose to say that-"

Jace laughed before he picked her up and threw her up into the air, she giggled being thrown up in the air. "Ah!"

Rhaenya rolled her eyes, her hands rubbed her stomach and she rested Elaena's shoulders, "I need these children to come out, it is about time,"

Elaena laughed, kissing Rhaenya's cheek, "They will come out sooner or later,"

She looked down and looked at Elaena, "How is my mother, is she alright?"

Her friend's eyes looked up at hers, "Why do you ask?"

"I just wanted to know, I don't know, I haven't heard anything from her... not even a single slander," She whispered, Elaena held her hand and rubbed her hand.

"You have fewer things to worry about angel, your children on the way," Elaena whispered, Jace was holding onto Visenya, he glanced at his wife.

Rhaenya awkwardly smiled, her voice was soft, she did love her mom, but she didn't know how to show it. "Yeah,"

Visenya's laugh could be heard, making Rhaenya smile a bit and she looked at her, her daughter looked back at her with the brightest eyes. "My mommy,"

The Queen took her daughter in her arms, she hugged her and she felt herself holding her tightly,  the little girl held onto her mother resting on her shoulders. 

Rhaenya looked outside to see that, seeing the afternoon sun. "It's her nap time isn't it?"

Visenya was heard yawning and she rested on her mother's shoulder, Jace kissed Visenya' small head as she started to fall asleep. 

Rhaenya smiled and Jace wrapped his arm around Rhaenya, Elaena touched Rhaenya's shoulder. "I'll take her,"

Rhaenya held her daughter closer, she wanted to be with her forever and cherish the smallest moments. "Sleep well my little Princess,"

The Queen passed her child over to her friend, who took the toddler princess back to her own chambers. Rhaenya laid back down in her bed, cuddling herself closer to her husband.  She herself yawned, closing her eyes and letting out a small sigh.

"Everything is perfect," Jace whispered into her ear, he kissed her cheek before he also fell asleep. Both the King and Queen peacefully slept in their chambers.

6th day of 1st  moon 132 Ac

Finally, the last trimester of her pregnancy was here, she didn't know how long until she was going into labor, but it was going to happen soon. 

Visenya and Jcace were already going to pick out Dragon eggs, and everything seemed quite perfect.

On the 6th day of the 4th moon, in the middle of the afternoon, Lady Elaena announced that the Queen had officially gone into labor.  It felt like the longest hours of her life, Rhaenya was holding her stomach for dear life.

Jace waited outside of her chambers with Visenya in his arms, he was contemplating if he should go get her mother or not. Rhaenya was groaning in pain as it had only been the first five hours of labor.

She remembered when she had Visenya and it went on for another 12 hours.

Maris came out of the room, and she looked at Jace, "She's going to be fine, but she has another couple hours before the child comes, you can go rest,"

She tickled Visenya a bit, and she smiled at Jace, "She will be fine, I promise,"

The King had a concerned look on his face, "I need to be by her side, please,"

His voice was desperate, Maris smiled at him, "We will come to get you once the baby is on  the way, I promise,"

Jace let out a sigh and he took Visenya into her room,  he sat her down on the floor where she reached for a dragon toy that looked like Vermax.

"Vermy!" She lifted the toy up flying it around Jace, she was smiling and laughing.

"Visenya come here," Jace lifted her up, putting her on his lap. "You are going to be a big sister!  Are you ready to be an older sibling?" He kissed her cheek.

Visenya looked up at her father with a smile, holding Visenya and talking about older sibling things, reminding Jace about himself. The memories he had created with his brothers... were now all gone.

He could feel a tear rolling down his face, as the small princess  looked at her father. She wiped his tear away, hugging him again.  Visenya didn't know why her father was sad, but she was there to comfort him.

For the next couple of hours, Jace didn't hold any jousting tournaments and stopped all council meetings until he got to see Rhaenya.

He kept Visenya entertained by reading her books, and telling her stories about his mother before Visenya fell asleep.

On the other hand, Rhaenya was nearly ready for the baby to come out, the midwife looked up at the Queen, "You are fully dilated, the baby is on the way!"

Maris quickly left the room to go get Jace and she hurried into Visenya's room. She went into Visenya's room to see Jace sleeping on the floor. "Jace!"

Jace groaned, but he knew that was Maris's voice, " Is the baby coming?"

The lady nodded, she helped the King up, and a maid quickly came into the toddler princess chambers.

"I got it from here, " The nice maid nodded, she was a loyal servant to the Queen and she looked at Maris with a warm smile.

Maris looked at Jace and they quickly hurried into Rhaenya's room,  the Queen was screaming and the King kissed her forehead, "Hey, hey, I'm here,"

Rhaenya screamed as felt the child come out,  Elaena smiled as she saw the head and helped pull it out. "It's here!"

A midwife quickly grabbed a washcloth and water and started to clean the child, they quickly cut the umbilical cord and soon a cry was heard. "He's a healthy boy!"

Rhaenya looked at Jace with a crying happy smile and their foreheads touched, Jace didn't care how sweaty his wife was.

He had a soft smile, his voice was encouraging, "I am so so so proud of you,"

The boy had brown hair, just like Jace did and he quickly came into  Rhaenya's arms,  "Hi! My sweet boy!"

Rhaenya was feeling so soft, she held her boy for the first time, and she handed Jace their  prince. Soon the Queen felt the same pain when her first Prince came out. 

The midwife looked at her, she immediately knew, "Twins your grace! We see the head coming soon!"

Jace looked at the midwife with wide eyes, Elaena quickly took the prince, as Jace held Rhaenya's shoulders. "Listen to me, just breathe and push, you got this, just breath, deep breathes and one big push,"

Rhaenya pushed, it wasn't a scream, she was tired, she could feel her body giving up and she was crying. "It's coming!"

She kept pushing, letting out a soft groan, the babe wasn't budging. After a long-awaited 8 minutes, the baby was out. Rhaenya collapsed into Jace's arms and she was crying.

"It's a girl!" Elaena announced cutting the umbilical cord.

"Alysanne and Jacaerys," she tiredly whispered, "my- my twins," her voice broke and she looked at Jace with tired eyes, Jacaerys kissed her forehead.

Her eyes closed, and she could feel her body shutting down, she saw Jace holding her children, and she looked at his arm. Her eyes were closed because she was tired, maybe her body was giving out... she didn't know.

"Rhaenya, stay with me, hey," Jace whispered, touching her cheek, his voice shaking as he thought he was going to lose her.

"I'm trying, I am tired, I am not dying!" She laughed a bit, her head flopped to her shoulder, and she gave him a weak smile.

"I am so, so proud of you," He whispered, Alysanne was delivered to Rhaenya's arms and Prince Jacaerys in his arms.

"They look just- just like you," she laughed a bit, Elaena and Maris smiled at one another leaving the two in their room.

Jace kept her close to her, he held his son, his first boy in his arms... he didn't know how to react, he was crying with her. "Your majesty, do you wish to be cleaned up? We would want you to be in the most comfortable and clean,"

Rhaenya looked at Jace, she looked at the maid "That would be nice," 

The Queen was escorted up to her washroom as Jace sat down in the chair with both of the twins in his arms, he smiled at them. "Princess Alysanne, Lady of Winterfell, and Prince Jacaerys, the second of his name. I am your father, the King, and you have a sister and a bunch of little Aunts and uncles, and one older sister,"

The Queen was taking time to get ready again, she was going to have a nice dress on and she was going to show her new children off.

Rhaenya could hear humming from her bedchambers, it was Jacaerys singing to their children, and a comfortable pregnancy dress was put onto Rhaenya.

She looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, before she carefully walked herself back to her bedchambers. Jace was holding their children so close to him, and her bedsheets were changed.

"Jacaerys," Rhaenya smiled, patting a spot for him to come to sit next to her, Jace carefully sat down with the children, and Jace handed Prince Jacaerys to his mother.

"Oh hello, my little prince!" Rhaenya whispered cooing at her son, "My precious boy!"

He was sleeping in his cradled blanket and the Queen smiled at her husband, "I have a living boy,"

Jace kissed her on the lips, they held their children together and it was perfect... the door opened with Maris, Visenya, Elaena, and Jaehaera walking in with food and gifts. "Mommy!"

Visenya ran to the bed, and she asked Jaehaera to help her up. Her cousin picked her up and placed her next to her parents. "It is a girl and a boy,"

Jaehaera smiled at her aunt, she looked down at the baby, "What are their names?"

Elaena was preparing a plate for Rhaenya, as she had barely eaten anything in the last couple of hours.

Rhaenya touched Jaehaera's cheeks, "Prince Jacaerys and Princess Alysanne Targaryen!"

"Aly and Jac!" Visenya smiled and she looked down at her sister, and she tilted her head. "Princess, like me! Prince like Vissy!"

"Exactly!" Rhaenya kissed her daughter on the forehead, she looked at him with big eyes, how educated her daughter was.

Jace gently brushed Visenya's hair, then he looked up at Elaena, "Darling you should eat,"

Rhaenya got up and she sat down at the table and started to eat, she felt like heaven eating what she missed. She looked over at her friends, especially Elaena who kissed her forehead. "I am proud of you,"

A cute smile was on the Queen's face and she looked over at her family, the family who had been there for her. The people who would always be by her side till the end of her reign, she watched all of them with a smile, she adored each and every person in the room.

She let out a happy tear as she held Elaena's hand.

133 AC:

The years went fast, soon the children were growing up, the twins were two years old, Visenya had turned four, and the castle was chaotic with children running around.

The children barely touched the outside world because of the Winter Fever. The Queen and King quarantine their children for a year.

Queen Rhaenya had made changes to the castle in a year, bringing back the origins of the old Targaryen sigils. She was loved by the people, she was known as the mother of the people.

Rhaenya walked in the halls of the castle as people curtsied to her, she nodded looking at her with a small smile. She reached the chambers, it wasn't her chambers... but someone else's.

The chambers were cold when she reached the door, she took a deep breath.

"Mother?" Her voice was soft and caring, she held back her tears opening the door.  She was risking her life to go see her mother.

A physician had sent it to her, saying that her mother was sick, she had caught the fever and she didn't know how long her mother had to live.

The room was a dark, ripped dress on the floor, all things green were stripped from the room, Rhaenya looked around. 

She was wearing all black and no green was seen on her, then she saw her mother on the bed.

The dowager queen was laying there covered in wash clothes, she looked absolutely horrible. Rhaenya took a deep breath in, and she came close to her mother's side, she held her hand trying not to cry.

"Rhaenyra-" She whispered, touching her face, "I am so sorry, for taking your throne,"

The Queen held her breath, closing her eyes, knowing that her mother couldn't even tell her apart anymore. "Mom,"

"Don't kill my children! I beg you to sacrifice them!" Her mother screamed at her, Rhaenya jumped backward looking sadly at the Queen.

"I- '' The Queen felt like a child again, she leaned against her mother's walls, she looked at her mother, her only "real" family left. "I am your child!"

Rhaenya could feel a tear rolling down her face, her own mother not being able to recognize her face. A deep sigh escaped her lips, she collapsed to the floor of Alicent Hightower's chambers.

"My children will not die because of you! You must learn that I did this for Duty and Sacrifice," Her mother screamed at her again, her insanity had hit her so hard, Alicent despised green, and she looked at Rhaenya with eyes of insanity.

"Your children are already all dead, mother, I am the only child of yours left, please!" Rhaenya begged, she looked at her mother as if this was a punishment.

Alicent looked down at her daughter and touched her cheek, the difference in height, she looked into her daughter's eyes and the hit with realization.

"Rhaenya," She whispered, a tear rolling down Alicent's cheek as she brushed her hand against her daughters.

A small relief went through Rhaenya's body, she looked up at her mother, but nothing came out of her mouth.

Her mother's hands were cold against her warm cheek, Rhaenya closed her eyes, as she sat on the floor. Alicent looked at her youngest child, the only living one of her children. "I'm sorry,"

The purple eyes of the Queen looked up at the Dowager Queen's eyes, she held back her tears knowing she could never forgive her mother for the way that she was treated. "I know, but it will take a long time for me to forgive you..."

Alicent closed her eyes, with a soft whispering tone, she replied, "I know, and you have no fault in that,"

Rhaenya hugged her mother, she hadn't done that in... years... it was like what it felt like, and she cried into her mother's arms. "No, I'm sorry, you didn't want me, and I made that even worse as a kid, I truly didn't mean it! I-,"

Her mother's arms wrapped around her daughter, "No, no, you listen to me right now, I was in the wrong, because I didn't want you, and you were an unexpected child, that shouldn't have made me do the wrong things, I've done to you. You and your sister, I have put you both through the devil hell, you were just a child,"

Alicent's hand went to her daughter's cheek, as she smiled at her. The smile was weak, Alicent knew that she didn't have much to live.

Rhaenya didn't know how to respond, she just cried in her mother's arms. She was like a toddler again, crying as if she was in trouble.

"Go, you have a family to take care of," Alicent whispered, she smiled at her daughter not wanting to get her sick. "My.... Queen,"

The Queen had eyes of admiration as she looked at her mother who had just curtsied in front of her. She wiped her tears away, she gave her mother a weak smile, and Alicent stroked her daughter's head.

She was sobbing now as Alicent kept her hand there, she looked at her grown daughter once more. "You have grown up so beautifully,"

The Dowager Queen went back to her bed to rest, as her maids had asked the Queen to leave, Rhaenya nodded, taking the door, she gently opened the door and went back to her chambers.

Rhaenya wiped her tears, and she quickly got into the bath, relaxing her body and her mind.

The water was warm, she sighed resting her eyes, the door opened and Jacaerys walked in. "Jaceeee!"

"My darling," He kissed her forehead, he sat beside her, his hand touching her cheek.

Rhaenya smiled when he touched her cheek, her head rested in his hand, she looked like a child and she looked up at him with big eyes.

She had a weak smile, she touched her hands kissing them, "Can you pick out a dress for me?""

The King had brightened eyes, his favorite thing ever to go to choose a dress for her, she finished cleaning herself up while Jace went to her closet, he went to pick a blue dress for her. Soon he handed it to a maid, who helped Rhaenya to put her clothes on.

In a short amount of time, a new dress was on, and she quickly came to Jace and kissed him on the lips, her hands went to her neck as they kept one another close to one another. "I have to go see the children, do you want to come with me?"

"Of course, I do my Queen," He lifted her hand up and kissed her hand, she blushed looking at her husband. Then Jace wrapped her hands around her waist, and they left the room.

They went into the twin's chambers, the room was large for both twins to have their own room on each side.

Jaehaerea was already with the twins, she looked up when she saw her aunt walk in, she was like her mother too, "Your majesties!" she curtsied, smiling brightly at her aunt and uncle.

Rhaenya looked at Jaehaera and watched the twins also greet their parents with her. The Queen laughed, linking arms with her husband, who also had a smile on his face.

"Momma!" Jace ran into her arms and Rhaenya picked her son up and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hello, my sweet prince!" Rhaenya kissed his cheek, she smiled at him holding him in his arm.

Jace picked up the quiet Alysanne, she had long brown hair and she had the most violet eyes possible. "How is my Lady of Winterfell?"

Alysanne looked at her father, her cheeks big and adorable, "I dwont know,"

A tug was on Rhaenya's dress as she looked down to see her silver-haired daughter smiling up at her. This was her family, she kissed her forehead, "Is that, my angel?"

Visenya smiled at her mother scrunching her nose, she was looking absolutely the cutest. "Hi!"

The little princess had seen her cousin and she smiled and ran quickly over to her, "Jaehaera!"

"Visenya!" She smiled, taking her cousin's hand, and looking up at Rhaenya. "Can we go play?"

Rhaenya held Visenya and Jaehaera close to her, it was a hug of warmth, and they had a reflection of her and Helaena. "Yes, please, be safe?"

Jaehaera's eyes narrowed, and then she rolled them, "We will! We don't cause trouble! I promise!"

"Yeah! I promise!" Visenya responded with big eyes, she smiled at her cousin and looked up at her mother. "Thank you!"

Both Jace and Rhaenya looked at one another, as they knew that they were going to have some fun with their cousins Viserys and Aegon.

Prince Jacaerys' head went down onto her shoulder as Rhaenya hummed to him so carefully. "Aren't you my tired little boy? How is my sweet Alysanne doing?"

Jace was humming to her, when Alysanne looked
up at her mother, rubbing her eyes. "twirerd,"

It was their nap time and she knew it was, Jace and Rhaenya went to the opposite side of the room to go out and the twins down in each cradle were laid small dragons.

Rhaenya quietly places Prince Jacaerys down, and she gently touches his head, before leaning down to kiss him on the forehead.

The little prince reached out for her mother's cheek holding them, and he kissed her cheek. Rhaenya had awe in her eyes and she tried not to cry, "I love you, my prince,"

The prince dropped his hands tiredly as he fell asleep, the King looked at his daughter who was in her crib. Alysanne had a small yawn, Jace kissed her daughter on the forehead, "My little Lady of Winterfell,"

Rhaenya looked at her husband before they crossed paths and she came to her daughter. She gently brushed her hair with her hand, "My sweet Alysanne,"

Her voice was soft and she kissed her daughter on the cheek, "I don't want to ever see her grow up, ever,"

Jace comforted his son before he came behind his wife and hugged her. "This is perfect, our perfect family,"

Rhaenya smiled at him,  she blushed, touching his hand, "Just our perfect family," 

The King took his queen's hand before they went to the other's room, they looked over at Visenya's room where Viserys and Aegon were getting dressed up. Rhaenya laughed, covering her mouth.

"Girls don't forget we are having a family dinner tonight," She smiled, peeking through the door, they looked up and nodded. "Viserys and Aegon, you look great,"

DINNER AT KING'S LANDING:

Rhaenya was helping the girls get ready, she did their hair, putting a headpiece on both the young four-year-old and the ten-year-old.

They wore both red and black dresses with dragon details going around them. They looked at the Queen with a smile, she kissed both of their foreheads, "My princesses,"

There was a knock on the door, as Rhaenya went to the door and she turned to her girls, "Girls, stay here,"

She opened the door to see Ser Robert standing there, she had a sudden gasp and she looked at him up and down. "Ser Robert!"

The knight had his helmet off and bowed to the Queen, Rhaenya didn't care she just hugged him.

"Your majesty!" Ser Robert jumped a bit looking at the princess, his hands wrapped her around her back.

"Robert, where- no what happened?" She asked, he usually delivered the news to her, and Rhaenya looked into his eyes.

He took a deep breath, he looked at the Queen, "The lady Alicent Hightower... is dead,"

Rhaenya froze, her body felt stiffened and she closed her eyes, "Get Lady Maris and Lady Elaena to get the girls out of her, I need to-"

Ser Robert did as he was told and quickly fetched the two ladies who got the children out of the room, Rhaenya didn't say a word before she went into her chambers, Robert knew that she was going to have a breakdown.

"Hey, hey, breathe," He helped her sit down, "Come here," he assisted her to sit down, then he sat by her side, and showed her the bracelet that she made him.

As a kid, Ser Robert had always been the kindest to the young Rhaenya, as for his act of kindness she would make him beaded bracelets.

From the first day she had made him one he never took it off. Rhaenya's hands went to his bracelet and she started to fidget with it, she was holding back her tears.

"I just talked to her today," She whispered her head leaning on the cold armor, Ser Robert had comforted her a lot as he wrapped his hands around her shoulder.

"She was dying," Ser Robert whispered back, his voice soothing, "But, Rhaenya... you will be harmless,"

Rhaenya was quiet, nearly the exact words Elaena said when Aemond had died. "She was still my mother, though I do not ever think I will forgive her for what she has done, she is my mother, after all," She replied Robert comforted her more.

It was silent between the two, only a small sob left from the Queen.

Soon Ser Robert gave her a washcloth, helping her clean her face up, "No more crying,"

She nodded slowly, looking at him and wiping her last bits of tears away, she smiled at him, "Thank you,"

Ser Robert nodded, "Anything for you," He kissed her hand, "Go you have a family dinner to attend, you don't want to be late,"

Rhaenya nodded and she smiled at the man who had always been a father figure to her. Robert walked to the door and opened it for her before the two walked into the dining room.

Everyone was already settled in their seats and they all curtsied when Rhaenya walked in, "Your majesty,"

"Sit, sit, no need for that!" She smiled at them, she walked over to her seat and Ser Richard pulled the seat out for her. "Thank you,"

The room was quiet, small whispers could be heard from Visenya and Jaehaera gossiping, Jace held his wife's hand. "Are you alright?"

She turned to him, her voice was settled and a whisper, "The Green Queen has passed,"

Jace looked at Rhaenya, he squeezed her hand, "I am so sorry for your lost,"

"Don't worry about it, this is about our family now," She smiled at him, turning to the people in her room. She still had small memories of her and her mother, she closed her eyes taking a deep breath, before she opened it again.

Visenya was sitting tall in her seat and she decided to gently tap the glass. The heads turned to the small Princess and Rhaenya had a smile. She stood on her chair so everyone could see her. "I would um like to make uhh toast! To my mother and father... and then to my cousins! And auntie Maris and auntie Elaena....and-" She hesitated and she made eye contact with Cregan.... "And um uh uncle.... Cregan!"

Jace had a proud smile, he nudge Rhaenya who laughed, "I am not done!"

The four-year-old had more to say as she glared at her parents. "I want us to be happy and live forever! I am done now!"

"Cheers!" Rhaenya raised her glass, and everyone repeated after her. The room was much more peaceful and calm than the last family dinner she and Jace had.

Rhaenya got up, and raised her glass, "To friends, and family, we are all delighted to have you all join us for this wonderful dinner, I must say I love you all," She winked at Elaena, "Long live our friendship!"

"Long live our friendship!" Everyone cheered before Jace got up himself. All eyes went to him.

"I just want us to have a long peaceful reign with a loving relationship with one another," Jace raised his cup and smiled at his family and friends.

Then more and more toasts went up and it felt like forever, soon it was finally over and everyone had started to eat. Rhaenya and Jace laughed as Cregan told jokes, making the children laugh.

Elaena told childhood stories of the young Princess Rhaenya which surly Ser Robert had things to add on.

The night was so joyful, everyone laughed and people started to dance. Jace grabbed Rhaenya's hand as they danced together, it was so peaceful she wished to stay like this forever.

One by one the room was empty, people were going to bed.

It was only Jace and Rhaenya left dancing still peacefully on the dance floor, standing close to one another Rhaenya's head slowly resting on his shoulder as she fell asleep.

"Darling," he whispered kissing her cheek, "Let's get you to bed,"

Jace gently picked her up and she cuddled in his arms as he took her back to their chambers. Once they arrived he helped her get into her nightgown and he put her to bed.

Rhaenya had a night routine for the kids as he went to go check on the twins, making sure they were alright, then went to Jaehaea's room, she was sleeping peacefully. Then he entered next door to Visenya's room, silly girl was nearly falling off her bed. Jace picked her back up and placed her carefully back into bed tucking her in. "Goodnight my little princess,"

He kissed her forehead, before lastly checking in on his brothers, both of them were in a deep sleep and he walked back into his shared chambers with Rhaenya. He got himself ready for bed and crawled into bed with Rhaenya.

He wrapped his arms around her, to comfort her from any nightmares she was going to get, he let out a happy sigh. Everything was perfect.
