KINGS LANDING
"I didn't do anything-" Rhaenya turned in her bed, she slowly twisted and turned, her voice was soft, with a slight panic.
Jacaerys immediately woke up, Rhaenya was already in his arms, and he started to stroke her hair. He hated seeing her like this, especially during the night.
"It's just a nightmare, calm down," He whispered carefully to her ear, Rhaenya put her head into Jace's chest, she was crying. His hands went around her head holding her tightly, his head rested on her head.
He held her closely comforting her, she had small whimpers and cries leaving her lips. "I don't want to get in trouble,"
"Darling from what?" He whispered, she was quiet, her eyes still closed, not realizing that she was in a nightmare. He kissed her forehead, trying his best to calm her down.
"From- From Aegon... and Aemond... and and-" The Queen stuttered like a child again, Jace sat up, he was fully up now. Hearing his uncles names made him sit-up, his voice being more concerned now.
"What did Aegon do?" Jacaerys held her close to her and she leaned closer to him. Her breathing was becoming faster and he had to wake her up.
Rhaenya shook her head no, she realized she was having a nightmare, but she wasn't sure of it, her voice was at a whisper, "I think I'm okay,"
Jacaerys kept rocking her carefully and she took a deep breath and she opened her eyes, she looked at her husband. "What happened?"
He kissed her forehead, he was comforting, exactly the way she wanted to be, "You had a nightmare, go back to bed, darling,"
Rhaenya nodded and she kept herself close to Jacaerys, it was quiet before she looked down and she fell asleep again. Jace kissed her forehead, holding her close to him, Rhaenya took a deep breath and fell asleep.
The next day Queen Rhaenya was nearly falling off her bed, Jacaerys picked her back up and woke her up carefully.
"Darling," He kissed her forehead, and Rhaenya groaned, she had a whiny tone. "What about your royal duties?"
"Fuck royal duties," Rhaenya shoved Jace out of the way, he laughed as he was already getting up to go get ready.
He brushed his hands through his hair, his voice was calm as he took a deep breath. "Rhaenya,"
"Noooooooooo!" She whined again, she hated waking up in the morning, she rubbed her eyes looking at Jacaerys. "Fine, I'll get up just for you,"
Jace had finished putting his armor on and he looked at Rhaenya who was slowly getting up from the bed. "Are you going to go train the boys?"
The King nodded, as he kissed her hand and she smiled at him, she kissed his forehead, "I'll see you out there,"
The Queen smiled at her King before the two parted and one of her ladies in waiting had arrived. Rhaenya turned to them, as she saw Maris, Elaena, Lady Elinor, and Lady Alyse, she smiled at them as they curtsied towards her.
"Before I get ready, I would like to send some gifts to Winterfell for both my son and daughter Jacaerys and Alysanne," She smiled at them, "These would be packed for Alysanne and these will be packed for Jacaerys. Please pack them with gentle care as I wish them to be safely delivered."
Lady Alyse nodded and she smiled as she took the gifts, Lady Elinor followed and she was quiet, she never talked to the queen as much. Maris and Elaena came by her side, "Would you like to try some new dresses?"
Rhaenya looked at them, with a warm smile, "I would like to go see my children, so dressing up can wait, but later!"
Maris laughed, she loved helping Rhaenya get ready, "Of course! come Elaena let's help her get ready,"
Elaena grabbed out her gray dress that had small patterns on it, a bit of a fur pattern went around the neck portion of the dress. She had put all undergarments and then had it placed over her, she flattened the dress out taking a deep breath.
Her hair was braided into a half-up half-braided crown and her crown was placed on top of her head. She walked out of the chambers and went towards the training guard balcony.
She watched as her young sons were out training with Ser Erryk and her husband. Lucerys flipped the sword around in his hands smirking at his younger brother. Rhaenya looked down at him with a smile. He smiled at his mom before her second youngest son came out with his training sword.
Rhaenya had her hands on the railing as she watched as both sons started to fight, her eyes were on them, as the sword came crashing down against one another.
Small grunts were heard from both boys before Lucerys knocked the sword out of his brother's hands. He grabbed his brother's shirt and pushed him down. "What was that?!"
Rhaenya quickly went down the staircase and to the training grounds as Jacaerys pulled his sons apart from one another.
Prince Daeron had wide eyes and he looked like he was about to cry, Rhaenya quickly came over to her son and comforted him. Since he was only eight years old, he was still a baby in her eyes.
"Lucerys we do not take our anger out on our siblings!" Jacaerys looked down at his son, he had raised his voice a bit. Luke looked up at his dad, annoyed and it was clear stages of puberty were getting too him.
"I just want more challenges!" he complained, Jacaerys looked at his son slightly lifting his chin. Luke looked into his father's eyes and he was upset that he wasn't getting challenged enough.
"When Jace comes home, I will promise you will get more of a challenge," the king whispered to his son with a smile.
"Daeron is much younger than you," Rhaenya reminded him, ruffling Prince Daeron's hair, and looking at Lucerys.
Lucerys looked down and then came over to his brother, who was six years younger than him. He took his hands out, "Good duel... be better next time..."
Daeron went after his brother as Rhaenya pulled her son back. "Daeron!"
Jacaerys looked back at his son again, raising his eyebrows, "Really?"
"I'm just being honest! He needs to toughen up!" Lucerys rolled his eyes, his attitude was something else.
"Apologize," Rhaenya had a warning tone, she looked at him. Her hands were on her hip ass he looked at her son.
"Daeron I'm sorry..." He whispered... he put his hand back out. The King had a big smile on his face knowing that his son was learning good sportsmanship.
Young Prince Daeron shook it and he chased after his brother. Rhaenya smiled and Jacaerys put his hands around her waist. "Boys will be boys,"
They looked at the two boys who started to pick up their swords again and start fighting. Rhaenya looked at Jacaerys, "I wonder if we had another son faster Luke wouldn't be so upset..."
Jacaerys kissed his wife's head, shaking his head, "He has brothers now, they just need to grow up to be at his level,"
Rhaenya took a step towards the stairs as a hand caught Rhaenya's dress and she looked down. "Mother!"
Princess Rhaenyra stopped her mother from going any further, as she picked up a bug.
Rhaenya caressed her daughter's head, looking down at her with the sweetest eyes, "How many legs this time?"
"four, like a normal bug," She whispered, touching the back of the bug. Jacaerys looked at his young daughter, with a smile.
"Do you wish to put it in its little home?" Jacaerys looked at his young daughter.
"Yeah, give me a second," Rhaenyra replied, pushing herself up so she could put it in the enclosure of bugs.
Rhaenya kissed her daughter's head, as her daughter carefully went inside the castle, "She looks just like your mother..."
"I know," Jace whispered, he kissed his wife's cheek holding her close. "How do you think the kids are doing in Dragonstone?"
The Queen looked at her husband, rolling her eyes, she had a worried smile, "I got no clue..."
______________
DRAGONSTONE:
The nineteen-year-old Visenya was screaming as she got onto the furniture of her bed chambers. "VISERYS YOU GET IT!"
The Prince looked at the Princess, he was also panicking and held onto her dress, "YOU GET IT!"
"I AM NOT DYING! I AM THE PRINCESS OF DRAGONSTONE!" Visenya screamed trying to push Viserys off her dress.
The clear chaos was happening in the room of the heir to the Iron Throne. A tiny little bug had caused a ton of problems, a lot of bugs to be exact.
"DON'T YOU DARE PUSH ME! AEGON YOU GET IT!" Prince Viserys the son of a Rhaenyra, screamed like a child.
"Let me see- OH F-HELL NO!" Aegon jumped onto the bed holding onto his brother for dear life.
"What is going on here?" Jaehaera crossed her arms coming into the room. "Are you ALL scared of this bug? Gods help us all!"
She got down on her legs before picking it up and holding it in her hands. Jaehaera was a near replica of her mother, looking down at the bug she replied, "It's so cute!"
"Jaehaera GET IT AWAY FROM MY BED!" Princess Visenya screamed, holding onto Viserys. Viserys was much calmer now and he played with her hair, calming Visenya down.
"I'm putting it in the enclosure," Jaehaera responded quietly, looking at the bug. She placed it in the little home that the four had made for bugs she placed it gently on a log. "I wonder how Rhaenyra is doing with her enclosure."
Princess Rhaenyra, who was back at King's Landing and Jaehaeara who was at Dragonstone both a bug enclosure for the bugs that they caught.
Visenya shrugged, laying in Viserys arms, he kept playing with her hair soothing her. She took a deep breath smiling up at her cousins. Prince Aegon gagged looking at his brother, before taking Jaehaera's hand, "I am leaving, you guys make me sick,"
Once the other two left, it was only Visenya and Viserys, the room was quiet and only small breathing of Visenya was heard. She let a little sigh looking up at him, "Viserys' our wedding is coming soon..."
Viserys kissed her forehead, gently comforting her, "Yes it is, and I am so excited to be your husband, my sweetest angel,"
The Princess of Dragonstone had a big smile as she laid in Viserys' arm as he held her close to her. "Only a couple more months..."
He grabbed her face looked at her and kissed her, "Only a couple more months, my sweet angel,"
She kissed him back laying down on her chest, she played with his hair then took a deep breath, "I wonder how my siblings are doing..."
Viserys kissed her forehead, "They are fine, they are under the care of your parents, you worry too much,"
Visenya leaned on him closer and smiled at him, "You keep my stress away, I love you,"
"I love you too, my sweet angel," He whispered, keeping her close to him before he gently closed his eyes.

KING'S LANDING
"Papa," Aerea called her father over to the gardens, she was holding a book with a smile on her face.
"My sweet Aerea, how are you?" The King walked over to his daughter sitting beside her on a bench. The weather was nice and it was perfect to be outside.
The young girl smiled at her father, she was an angel looking child, "I am doing well, quite hungry... Are we having a big feast tonight?"
"As of now, no, but your mother always has new plans in her head," Jacaerys laughed, gently kissing her daughter's forehead. She was her favorite... well only because her first words were "papa"
Aerea leaned on her father's shoulder, she had long black hair, and purple eyes and she looked quite similar to her father. "Does a mother love me?"
Jacaerys tilted his head looking at his daughter, "She loves you more than anything, if anything she has told me you remind her of her younger self, why do you say that Aerea?"
"I feel like Mother avoids me..." Aerea looked down at her hands, her father held them.
"Aerea look at me, she is not avoiding you in any way, she has had a rough childhood herself and she is learning to be a mother. She tells me every night, how proud she is of you always doing something new to challenge yourself," He kissed her hand, "Do not ever think that your mother doesn't love you,"
Aerea had a tear rolling down her face, she wiped it leaning more on her father, "I just- hear people say she doesn't love me because I don't have Targaryen hair..."
Jace held her daughter close to his chest, he tilted his head back trying not to cry. "Do not ever listen to the rumors or anything at court, I love you, your mother loves you for the person you are, do not ever listen to the others, they lie and just want to tear you down,"
He held her close in his arms comforting her, he wiped her tears away from her cheek and looked at her. He made her a funny face made her slightly laugh, "No more crying, I don't like crying,"
Aerea wiped her tears off and she looked at her father with a smile, before she got up, Jacaerys followed his daughter and held her hand, as he led her to the dining room.
____________
"Lucerys come here, I want to talk to you," Rhaenya smiled looking at her son, he seemed quiet and lonely.
"What?" He had a slight tone of attitude in his voice, which made her raise her eyebrow at him.
"That was not a nice tone to talk to your mother in was it now, I just want to talk to you," Rhaenya looked up at him from her desk, he rolled his eyes put his book down, and came down to sit next to his mother. She smiled at him, and as she touched his cheek, her son immediately leaned onto her hand.
"I"m sorry, for being so mean... I can't seem to control it," Lucerys whispered holding his mother's other hand. "I promise, I'm trying not to be so mean!"
"I know, it happens, it's all part of growing up," She smiled at him, she kissed his cheek gently. "Your father has been through that stage, do not worry we all grow out of it... unless you are like our older brother..."
Lucerys laughed and hugged his mother, "I am sorry for the past couple of weeks, I didn't mean to hurt people's feelings,"
Rhaenya hugged him as her son leaned on her shoulder, she could feel him crying a little. She pulled back and wiped his tear away, "Let's go to dinner, sweet boy,"
The young prince looked at his mother and smiled at her, "I love you,"
The Queen looked at her prince, before bringing him closer to her, "My sweet boy, I love you the most,"
She let her hand out for her son to grab it as they also went to the dining hall so they could go have dinner.
When the door opened it was seen that no one was quiet in the dining room yet, Rhaenya saw two figures and she immediately knew who they were. "Jace! Alysanne!"
Luke let go of his mother's hands as she went towards her two children and they had a big smile getting up from their seats. Alysanne hugged her mother first, and Rhaenya wrapped her arms around her.
"Oh, my lady of Winterfell!" She laughed while hugging her, she touched her daughter's face. Then she went over to her son, and she touched his hair, hugging him, "Jacaerys, my goofball,"
Jacaerys held onto his mother, his smile was slowly falling apart slightly looking down. He couldn't get enough of his mother's touch, his eyes were getting teary.
"Jace is crying!" Luke laughed as the door opened to see that Aerea and Jacaerys walked in. The door stayed open as Prince Daeron and Prince Baelor slowly walked in together.
Alysanne looked at her mother, her voice was so sweet, "He can walk! Baelor, come here!"
Baelor ran to his older sister's arm and he smiled hugging her, Alysanne picked him up and kissed him on the cheek.
The King came over to his eldest son and hugged him before messing with his hair, "It is good to see you,"
Jace looked at his father, with a slight smile and he hugged him, "I missed you, Father,"
Jacaerys hugged his son, keeping him close to him; it had been ages since the two had last seen each other. Rhaenya smiled as she came next to Alysanne holding her hand, "Sit, you must be tired,"
Alysanne put Baelor down on the seat next to her as she sat down, she looked at her mother with the brightest smile. "Rickon is the sweetest gentleman, I have ever met,"
Rhaenya's eyes brightened as she heard the news, "That is wonderful! Tell me more about him,"
She nudged her daughter as the young soon-to-be Lady of Winterfell rolled her eyes, "He brings me flowers after I go training on my dragon,"
"Oh does he!" Rhaenya smirked, as she watched everyone settling down, food was coming and her husband sat down next to her. He kissed her hand and she smiled at him.
Servants were bringing food out and little Aerea's eyes were brightening up, "FOOD!!"
Baelor looked at his mother, he played with his dragon toy, and he made fake dragon noises, his sweet voice he looked up at his mother, "My dragon egg hasn't hatched!"
Before Rhaenya could respond, Alysanne turned to her brother stroking his hair. "It's alright! It's going to take some time!"
Rhaenya leaned onto Jacaerys as she held his hand looking at their family, everyone loving each other's company, she had a tear rolling down her face looking at him. "This is our family,"
The laughs of Aerea and Daeron were heard across the table, as Jacaerys and Lucerys shared a conversation about how life was going. Alysanne was talking to her sister Rhaenyra about the different bugs in Winterfell.
Elaena and Maris walked in a little late, as heads turned to them with a smile.
Aerea got up running to Elaena, "Auntie Elaena! THERE IS FOOD!"
"I see! Go sit down! I'll eat with you," Elaena smiled, she kissed Aerea's forehead before having her go sit down. Maris had a bit of a mess in her curls as it was assumed that the older children knew what had happened.
Prince Jace smirked at his Aunt before Rhaenya glared at him to stop, Maris took a seat beside Rhaenya. "Apologies for being late,"
"I know sometimes we get carried away," Rhaenya smirked at her friend tapping her shoulder gently, before plating some food on her plate.
The conversation flowed in the room as everyone was having a wonderful time, Rhaenya smiled at Jacaerys kissing his cheek. She stood up carefully tapping her glass and looking at everyone at the dinner table.
"It has been a bit since we have reunited... Though we are missing quite a few people, I would like to appreciate each of my children for making it here. I love every single one of you guys dearly and as your mother watching you all grow up has been one of the happiest things I have ever seen. Keep being yourselves, I just cannot wait to see the people you grow up to be," Rhaenya smiled lifting her cup, "Cheers,"
"Cheers!" The room said in union, the day was getting dark before Baelor was seen asleep on the table.
Rhaenya walked over to her youngest son before gently picking him up and holding him in her arms, "I'm going to put him to sleep," she mouthed to her husband.
The King nodded before darling Prince Daeron came sitting next to his dad, sitting in his mother's seat talking to him about his dragon. Rhaenya walked down the halls into Prince Baelor's room, and she placed him into the cradle. She quickly grabbed a new pair of pajamas for him, she carefully changed the little boy.
Rhaenya gently brushed his hair, with her hands with a smile on her face, "My little prince,"
She kissed his forehead, before tucking him in carefully again and she kept a small candle on from a distance. Then she looked at his maids, with a smile, "Please tell me if has any trouble sleeping,"
The maids nodded, with a sweet smile, "Of course your majesty,"
Rhaenya smiled at them before she headed back to the dining hall and she saw Aerea having her head down. She looked at Jacaerys then to her daughter again, "What happened?" She mouthed towards him.
"Probably ate too much," He mouthed back, all the younger kids were slowly getting tired. The Queen came to her daughter, as Aerea was groaning.
The princess looked at her mother, with a whisper, "I ate too much,"
Her mother smiled at the little girl, with her soft little round cheeks, "I know, do you want me to get you some ale? We can try to wash it down, and then I can take you on a little walk,"
Aerea smiled nodding her head, "Lady Olvera, would you mind getting Princess Aerea a glass of ale?"
The maid nodded before she quickly hurried to the kitchen to grab a glass of ale for the princess. Rhaenya stroked her daughter's hair before the ale was delivered. She handed her youngest daughter the glass before she helped her sip from it.
Princess Rhaenyra on the other hand had evil eyes glaring at her brother Jace, and sooner or later a food fight was about to start. The King looked at her daughter, "Don't you dare young lady!"
The first piece of food was thrown across the room hitting Jace right on the face, the prince gasped showing a shocked face. He grabbed a spoonful of cold soup that had been sitting in front of him before throwing back at his younger sister.
Rhaenyra gasped looking at her brother and then threw a carrot at him before Jace threw food at his twin sister. Prince Lucerys got up hating things being thrown around before hiding behind his father's chair.
The King sighed looking at his children, he was going to yell at them but there was no way to act at the dinner table. "KNIGHTS!"
All heads turned to the King, Aerea was standing with her mother's hand around her looking at her father with a smile.
"WEAPONS UP!" Jacaerys yelled as cutlery was all lifted and the children faced their father. "YOU HAVE ONE OPPORTUNITY TO THROW FOOD AT ME! ONE TIME! Then everyone is off to bed. UNDERSTAND?"
A smile appeared across all the children's faces, even the young Lucerys, got up from behind the chair, and grabbed a spoonful of his pudding.
"ONE TWO THREE!" King Jace yelled and as he sacrificed himself as food was thrown across him and made a mess of the King. Rhaenya rolled her eyes laughing a bit, before Aerea tugged on her mother's arm.
"Can we go out in the gardens?" Aerea had a sweet smile on her face and Rhaenya touched her face nodding her head.
"Let's go sweet girl," Rhaenya took Aerea outside as they both headed for the gardens, once they stepped out there was a sweet breeze hitting the queen and the princess. Aerea leaned close to her mother and she looked up at her.
"Mother?" Aerea smiled at her mother, her voice was the most daring of all.
"Yes, my sweetest girl?" Rhaenya smiled down at her, brushing her cheek ever so softly.
"I love you," the young princess smiled walking around gently touching the bushes as she went. The queen had big eyes smiling down at her daughter, "I love you too, please never forget that,"
The rest of the night, Aerea held her mother's hand as they walked around the garden. It helped her digest her food for the feast she had, then they went back inside as it was getting colder. Rhaenya grabbed all of her daughter's hands, as she went to go tuck them all in for bed.
Princess Aerea was first as her bedchambers were the closest and she quickly changed into her nightgown and she hugged her older sister Alysanne, then Princess Rhaenyra, and then her mother.
Rhaenya helped her get into bed before kissing her forehead and blowing out the candle, "Good night my sweet girl,"
"Goodnight Mama," She yawned before Rhaenya closed her door and she held her two other daughters' hands.
Princess Rhaenyra was not tired yet, she was still lively and she turned to her mother. "Can Alysanne please stay up with me? I need to talk to her about my life!"
Rhaenya laughed, it had been months almost years since the two had seen each other and she nodded, "You better be asleep before sunrise, I know you don't like to sleep but we do not need a cranky Rhaenyra. Understood?"
Alysanne had a big smile on her face looking at her mother and then at her younger sister who had bright eyes.
"YES YES, I PROMISE!" Rhaenyra quietly yelled before she grabbed Alysanne's hands and went to her chambers.
The Queen smiled as her daughters ran off and she soon found herself going to the other side of the corridors to check on her sons. She knocked on Prince Daeron's chambers, there was a quiet response as she opened the door.
"Hi," She smiled at him, she ruffled his hair, he was drawing male princes... "I'm here to say goodnight,"
"Goodnight mama," He whispered, he looked up at her with a smile and Rhaenya kissed his cheek. "Go to sleep soon, got it?"
He nodded, sketching with it his ink, "I will, I promise, Father already did the nighttime check-ins,"
Rhaenya nodded her head, she was happy that Jacaerys had check in on the boys. "Good to know, thank you for telling me, go to sleep soon,"
Daeron nodded before she smiled at him again, he reminded her exactly of her twin brother, before she quickly left his room. She went to Jace's room knowing that her two eldest sons would be together. They were playing cards immediately, putting them down when their mother came in.
"Mother," Jace smiled looking up at his mother, Rhaenya smiled at him and Luke before she kissed Luke's forehead first.
She looked at him, "It's really good to have you back, and see you with your brother,"
Jace smiled brightened looking up at his mother, he picked up his cards again before placing one down. "It's good to be home,"
Rhaenya went over to Jace and kissed her eldest son's forehead, she gave him a little hug, "Well I am going to bed,"
"Goodnight Mother," Both boys said in unison, they both had the sweetest smile, Rhaenya patted each of their hair.
"Goodnight my sweet boys," She smiled before she closed the door to go to her chambers. She could hear scribbling on parchment and when the guards opened the door Rhaenya could see her husband sitting at his desk writing.
She came behind hugging him, her head resting on his shoulder, as she could smell the fresh new scent of soap. "What are you doing?"
"Signing marriage tours, for Daeron and Rhaenyra," He signed down on the parchment, "Is that okay with you?"
Rhaenya nodded her head yes, and hugged him close, "And it is okay that Aerea is marrying Royce Baratheon?"
"That has been settled, we will send her when she is ready," Jacaerys whispered, it was clear he didn't want to let go of his favorite daughter.
"Of course," Rhaenya yawned as she let go of him and she went to go find her nightgown. She sat down brushing her long Targaryen curly hair.
"Our children are growing up..." He mumbled getting up and hugging her from behind, like she did not even ten minutes ago.
She rested in his arms, before letting out a small sigh, "Carry me to bed, I'm too tired,"
"Of course my queen," He smirked, he turned her vanity stool around and bridal style carried her into his arms and picked her up. He gently placed her down on their bed and kissed her.
She cuddled close to him laying in his arms, he looked down at her, "How could I be so lucky to have you as my wife?"
"Stop it, right now," She whispered, looking up at him, she drew little circles on his chest. Her silver hair rested on his chest. "I'm just lucky we both survived the war... and here we are, with our own family..."
Jacaerys was quiet, and he kissed her forehead holding her tight, "Do you think my mother would be proud of me?"
Rhaenya touched his cheek, sitting up, "Jace, she is so proud of you, she is guiding all of us, our children to live a safe happy life. She is here with us in our hearts... and our children."
The King nodded before he yawned, his Queen kissed his cheek before she tucked the two of them in bed. "Thank you for doing nightly check-ins,"
"It is my duty as a father to look out for my children," He whispered, holding back his tears at what she had said earlier. Rhaenya looked at his eyes before kissing him on the lips, he kept her close to her, then he kept his hand on her cheek. She pulled back, "Let's get to sleep,"
Jacaerys blew out the candle and Rhaenya blew her candle out before the two officially went to bed, and she kept him close to her, and he kept him close to her.

DRAGONSTONE
12th moon of 148 AC
Visenya was getting ready for her wedding, she had celebrated her 20th birthday in the last four days and Dragonstone couldn't have been more lively.
Her cousin Jaehaera walked in with a big smile, "YOUR GETTING MARRIED!"
She came behind her cousin starting to brush her hair, she smiled at her kissing her cheek. "What hairstyle for your special event?"
The Princess of Dragonstone thought for a moment, "Braids, a half-braid crown then we can place my crown,"
"Right on it, your highness," Jaehaera smiled, brushing her hair and parting it into sections.
Soon the room was bombarded with all of Visenya's little sisters, and a bigger smile appeared across her face. Everyone had matching colored dresses in different styles with their hair all done neatly.
"Ahh! You guys look absolutely beautiful!" She smiled, kissing each of her sister's cheeks as they came to her. "Have you seen Mother? I haven't seen her all day,"
"Auntie Elaena told me that she was getting ready... but that was hours ago," Alysanne shrugged her shoulders, looking at Visenya, she gave her elder sister a big smile.
Rhaenyra came beside her cousin Jaehaera, her voice was excited, "How have you been Jae!!"
Jaehaera smiled at her much younger cousin, as her hands continued to braid, "I've been well, how have you been Nyra?"
"Father has told me that I possibly have a marriage tour happening!" She smiled brightly, looking around as she saw the door opening.
"A marriage tour? Very fancy," Jaehaera laughed as she also heard the door opening, she finished tying her hair. She finished picking up the headpiece and placed it onto her hair.
Rhaenya walked in with Baelor in her arms, he was a small four-year-old and she easily could carry him in her arms. "I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Everyone in the room turned around as they curtsied at the Queen, she swatted all the curtsies away.
"Visenya, come here my sweet angel," She hugged her daughter and kissed her on the cheek, she gave her a big smile as she had not put her dress on yet. It was sitting on a mannequin as Baelor went under the skirt and hid in it.
"Baelor!" Aerea chased after him, "You can't be in here you silly goose,"
Baelor giggled holding the dress scrunching his nose and Aerea tried to get him out of the dress. He refused and kept himself company under the dress.
Rhaenya kissed Visenya on the cheek, again holding her hand, "I just remember when you were just born, the sweetest girl ever, and your father swore to protect you..."
Visenya's head went down, as she realized her biological father wasn't truly here. Jaehaera grabbed her younger cousins and helped them outside so the two could just have alone time.
"Visenya, he would be proud of you," She smiled lifting her daughter's chin, "Let's get you ready,"
"Momma, do you think so?" Visenya looked at her mother, with bright sad eyes.
"I promise you, he definitely thinks so," Rhaenya replied, grabbing the dress off of the mannequin slowly. Baelor started to whine as he looked at his sister with a pout.
"Baelor came here," Visenya smiled at her brother, showing him to her vanity, which had a bit of toy waiting for him. "This is all for you!"
The baby prince had wide eyes as he grabbed toys to play with as Rhaenya helped her eldest daughter get into her dress. It was perfect, she looked perfect and the Queen held her heir so close to her, holding her tightly. "You have grown up... so beautifully,"
"Sissy is very pretty!" Baelor turned around from where he was sitting, hugging Visenya's leg, she picked up.
"Aww Thank you my prince!" she smiled kissing his cheek, she held him in her arms, before Rhaenya got her robe.
"Baelor come down, Mommy has to put this on sissy," Rhaenya smiled, and Baelor came down from Visenya. Rhaenya helped her daughter put her robe on and she was ready. "Just do not be scared of the blade, it might sting, but it will not hurt,"
Visenya shook her head, and she was more excited than anything now, Viserys was prepared by his elder brother.
His hair was nicely done, he was cleaned, and Jacaerys got his brother ready and prepared. It was he, Viserys, and Aegon, the only heirs left of Rhaenyra Targaryen.
"Treat her, well like you have been treating her, and I don't care how many children you both have, just treat her well, she's a sweet girl," The King said to his brother, helping him get the robe on.
"I know, we have been betrothed forever now, I know her and I will never mistreat her," Viserys responded, taking a deep breath and looking at himself.
"Good, let's get going then," Jacaerys smiled at his younger brother patting his shoulder. Aegon was quiet and had a smile, patting his brother on the shoulder.
The three of them arrived first as there was a decent crowd of people waiting for them. It was calm and pretty as the fire blew behind them with multiple candles. Viserys kept his head down with a smile and then waited for his future wife to walk in.
Visenya walked in first as people curtsied towards her, she had a calm demeanor, and her eyes lit up when she met Viserys. Rhaenya followed behind her while all her daughters stood behind her. Baelor was in the arms of Alysanne before being passed off to his father.
It was quiet, as Aegon handed the dragonglass to his brother as Viserys gently held it in his hand. He cut Visenya's lip ever so carefully, knowing it was going to sting, he used his thumb to wipe a small amount of blood to place the Valyrian symbol of fire on her head.
Visenya smiled as she was given the blade and made a small cut on Viserys' lip, she took her thumb and wrote blood on his forehead. Then she took the glass and she went for her hands, she was careful as she hated being in pain.
The wedding was quiet...Rhaenya was officiating the wedding, Jacaerys held Baelor carefully hoping that he wouldn't start crying. The blade was handed back to Viserys as he cut his hand, and their hands linked.
Their hands joined, and as Rhaenya started to say the rituals in Valyrian, a cup of wine was shared between the couple as they both took a drink out of it. Soon it was getting to the end as Rhaenya made them officially husband and wife and let them share their kiss.
Viserys hesitated at first, as he gently touched her cheek with his uncut hand, Visenya smiled at him, it was hesitant before Viserys brought her closer, kissing her, deeply.
Prince Jace covered his little siblings' eyes as Alysanne helped protect Rhaenyra's eyes. Finally, the kiss was over as the younger princes and princesses whined about not seeing the kiss.
The wedding was over, and people came to congratulate them, like Lord Cregan Stark and his son Rickon, and of course Elaena and Maris.
Rhaenya helped clean the blood off of the two of them and smiled at Viserys and Visenya. "Congratulations! Oh, my sweet babies are now married!"
"Rhaenya we couldn't have done it without you, so thank you," Viserys smiled and he kept his hand on Visenya.
"And if we do come with news... of a future heir, we will come to both you and Father immediately!" Visenya smiled at the King and Queen, she couldn't be happier.
Visenya's siblings came to congratulate how perfect she looked and how she must come to visit more often. It was a great family reunion, something Rhaenya truly needed. Although the ceremony was over, the party had just started and Prince Jace had a surprise planned for his sister...
