KING'S LANDINGS

The confused look of teenagers looked at the small child who was hugging her aunt. Rhaenya held her tightly as she continued to sob in her arms.

Rhaenya pulled the young girl back and held her face looking at the child. "What happened?"

Jaehaera's words were all rambling and choked up, but her words wouldn't come out clearly. Rhaenya just held the small girl in her arms as she continued to tremble.

Unsure of what to do with the situation, the princess sat her little niece down on her bed. She pulled out one of her stuffed dolls for her to hold.

Jaehaera took the stuffed doll and held it in her arms, she looked at her aunt and her uncle. "I am too scared to talk to mommy..."

At the moment the hearts of every person in that room broke. Rhaenya hugged Jaehaera again and held her close, she caressed her head, as the small girl cried.

Elaena and Maris stepped back to give the two of them some space and Daeron got to his knees to ask Jaehaera a question.

"What about this Jaehaera? You, me, and Auntie Rhaenya all go together to see your mommy?" He asked, his voice so soft.

Jaehaera's crying eyes looked up from Rhaenya's dress that was all wet from her tears and she looked at her Aunt and Uncle. "Would you do that for me...?"

Daeron and Rhaenya nodded their heads smiling at her as Daeron hugged her and held her close to his chest.

He knew that Aegon didn't care for her, and she wanted to make sure to give the affection that she never received.

"Lady Elaena, put my sister in some fresh clothes, then I will escort you to Helaena," Daeron nodded, and then Rhaenya looked over her shoulder at Elaena, Rhaenya was still in her pajamas.

Elaena took her hand, she went over to the other room
"I love you," Rhaenya smiled at Elaena, her voice was real and true.

Elaena smiled at the princess grabbed her chin and gently kissed her lips. Rhaenya kissed her back as she held onto her cheek. Their lips crashed and both couldn't stop pulling each closer to one another.

Eventually, Rhaenya pulled back to catch her breath, she kept her hand on Elaena. "I-"

Elaena smirked at the Princess, "Come here," She had helped take her dress off and  she stood in front of the mirror as she was helped with undergarments then a corset was placed over it.

The strings went through the loops and the handwork Lady Elaena kept was magical.

Her hands outlined her back and she kept touching the Princess with her fingertips, Rhaenya was blushing inside and she didn't know what to do. She sucked up herself as each string tightened around her back.

She looked at herself in the mirror and let out a deep breath.

Rhaenya couldn't resist Elaena kissing her neck when she turned around, she was enjoying it too much.

Elaena was a year older than the Princess, and quite obviously the two loved each other very much.

"I will make you mine once the war is over," Elaena whispered, Rhaenya looked down at her feet with a blushing smile.

"Then do it," She smirked back at Elaena, she had now stepped onto the outer portion of her dress.

"I will, I will make you all mine, my little dove," She whispered into her ear, Rhaenya felt chills going down her neck.

Finally, after what felt like hours, Rhaenya was ready, she was cleaned up and looked neater than she had before. When the two came out, Maris, Daeron, and Jaehaera  were playing with baby Visenya.

Daeron looked up, "Finally, you guys took fu- I mean freaking long enough!"

"Language! We have a child!" Maris looked at Visenya, "Aren't you the cutest baby?"

"I said FREAKING!" Daeron looked over at Maris who was shaking her head.

"Come here little Vis, did you miss me?" Rhaenya took the baby out of Maris's arm and then put it into hers. "She's such a perfect baby,"

"She's your baby," Elaena whispered, putting her hand on the blanket. "Would you like me to watch her, while you two go to see her majesty?"

Rhaenya nodded, she kissed her daughter on the nose, "Mommy will be right back my sweet angel,"

Rhaenya carefully handed Elaena the child and she took Daeron's arm as he was already standing up.

Rhaenya looked at Daeron, Jaehaera was reaching her arms up for someone to pick her up. 

Daeron picked her up and held her in his arms and they walked down the halls together. 

Soon they arrived in Helena's chambers, the room was dark and quiet. Sounds of muttering were heard and Rhaenya took a deep breath before she opened the door.

Helaena was going in circles in her room muttering the things that happened. Jaehaera's grip on Daeron tightened as she was quite scared.

"Hel?" Rhaenya quietly asked, her eyes went downwards, she was scared. Daeron's hand wrapped around her younger twin sister's arm for comfort.

"Who's here? No, don't kill my son! Don't kill my children!" Helaena yelled trying to find Rhaenya and Daeron. She was in fear and she had every right to be.

"Helaena, it's us... Daeron,  Rhaenya, and Jaehaera" Daeron whispered, his arm tightened around his little niece.

"I don't know anyone named- my sister and brother," Helaena whispered, she finally could see them. Her hair was a mess and she looked awfully tired.

"Helaena, come here," Rhaenya came towards her to hug her, but she leaped backward.

"Please don't touch me," Helena muttered, she looked at her sister with pleading eyes. "You won't hurt me right?"

"Hel, why would I ever hurt you, You were the only person I could trust!" Rhaenya felt her voice cracking, she felt a teardrop rolling down.

Jaehaera looked at her mother and she asked to be put down as she grabbed onto Rhaenya's dress in the action of being scared.

Daeron held Rhaenya's arm, he had done that since he was a kid, especially when he was scared or nervous. He wasn't nervous, he was most scared at how dark his sister's room was.

"Helaena, you were more of a mother to us than anyone, we will always be here for you no matter what," Daeron cried as he leaned on Rhaenya.

Helaena came closer to her siblings, she looked at her twin siblings and looked at them with the sweetest eyes. She also looked down to see her daughter scared, Jaehaera had a pouty lip and big eyes nearly filled with tears.

Rhaenya opened her arms up, she waited for Helaena to come into her arms.  Rhaenya was very patient with her sister and Helaena finally gave in and hugged her, Daeron put his arms over both of his sisters, and the room was silent.

Quiet sobs were heard as Helaena cried into her sister's shoulder, "I got you," Rhaenya whispered, as kept Helaena safe.

Helaena pulled back looking at her sister, "You have grown up so beautifully," She touched her sister's cheek and then looked over at Daeron.

She smiled painfully looking at her brother, her left hand resting on his cheek, "You have grown up so handsomely,"

Both twins started to have tears in their eyes as they clung to their sister, Helaena kissed each of them on their forehead, they were like her sweet children.

Jaehaera only watched her mother and she hugged her mother in a sudden action. She just started to cry.

Helaena caressed her daughter's hair and started to just cry with her and she held her close. "My sweet angel,"

Rhaenya and Daeron watched the two interact before the group sat down on Helaena's bed as she fiddled with her fingers, nervous to talk about anything.

"Jaehaera wanted to see you...." Daeron awkwardly whispered Rhaenya nudged him, and he rubbed the part she nudged him.

"You did?" Her voice was soft with excitement, she smiled at her daughter.

"Isn't that right Jaehaera?," Rhaenya smiled looking down, at her niece.

"My sweetest girl," Helaena touched her small daughter's cheek.

Jaehaera lay across her mother's lap as she just wanted her mother's touch and attention.  Helaena ran her fingers through her daughter's hair.

Rhaenya knew  that Jaehaera was happy to see her mother and Rhaenya only could smile.

Helaena looked at her sister and then at her brother and gave them a weak smile. Rhaenya got up grabbed Helaena's hair brush, and came behind her. "Can I?"

Helaena nodded and Rhaenya brushed her hair gently, getting all the knots out of her sister's hair. Daeron told stories as this went on about his journey, of course, he had to add in things he did with Maris.

Not long before Helaena yawned and she looked at her brother and sister, "I must head to bed,"

Jaehaera got up from her mother's lap and she nodded, and she kissed her mother's cheek. "Goodnight Mommy," she curtsied.

Rhaenya and Daeron got up from the bed and curtsied alongside Jaehaera. "Good night your majesty," They said in unison.

"It's sister," Helaena corrected as she rolled her eyes, "Now go," The twins nodded before Rhaenya linked arms with Daeron and they headed back to her chambers.

Jaehaera held her aunt's hand before they returned to her chambers.  Elaena was watching little Visenya who was now in her cradle, the ladies looked up and curtsied at the Prince and the Princess who had entered.

"She looks like one happy baby! Come to me!" Rhaenya smiled while picking up her baby, Visenya stretched her little arms looking at her mother.

Rhaenya sat down in the rocking chair behind her as she held Visenya carefully, she supported her daughter's head and body. Jaehaera sat beside her and looked at the baby in awe.

"Can I get her a dragon egg?!" Daeron excitedly clapped his hand, he wanted to be the best uncle there was.

Before Rhaenya could answer, the door opened and  Aemond had walked in. Jaehaera jumped and she hid behind Aemond and she was about to cry.

The prince got up immediately as Maris took Jaehaera behind her and looked at Aemond, "What are you doing here?"

"I have something for my Princess," He put the egg in the cradle, and his eyes went towards Rhaenya, then to Visenya. Rhaenya looked down at her daughter, with a smile and touched her nose ever so gently.

"Thank you," Rhaenya quietly said, as she looked at Aemond, who was looking at Visenya in her arms. "I still-"

She cut herself off, looked up at the ceiling holding her tears back, and rested herself in her mother's arms.
Rhaenya looked back down at Visenya, "You are always safe in my arms, never forget that,"

Aemond knew the promises that Rhaenya told him, the way he was told he couldn't be part of his daughter's life for being a murderer.

There he was standing watching Rhaenya be too scared to give the baby to him. Yet all before this, she had let him hold their daughter, but now she couldn't even look at him.

"Rhaenya, let my past go, let me be there for her," Aemond looked at her, the Lady Elaena appeared behind the princess.

"How? How do you think I forget you killed our neph-"

"That's enough," Aemond cut her off, Rhaenya was furious, her eyes looking up at Aemond.

"Maris take Princess Jaehaera back to her chambers, please," Daeron snapped at Maris. It was an order.

Maris quickly nodded and she grabbed Jaehaera's hand, "Sweet princess let's go back to your chambers, so I can read you a story!"

Jaehaera looked at Maris with big eyes and nodded quickly knowing she didn't want to be around her Uncle Aemond.

Princess Rhaenya didn't stop arguing there; she answered right back to Aemond.  "You aren't gonna be there for her,"

"I promised I will do everything for her," Aemond hissed, he looked curiously at Rhaenya, who had accused her of such things.

"You lied, over and over again, had mistresses while I was pregnant, you never came to me once nor did you want to see me. While I was also pregnant you decided to kill our nephew, and because I confronted you about it, I had near death experience, explain how I am  supposed to trust you with our child?"  Rhaenya bickered back, Visenya looked at her mother who was trying to laugh a little.

Daeron looked away trying not to laugh with Visenya while, Elaena's hand rested on the Princess's shoulder to support her with comfort.

"I did come to see you, multiple times when you were asleep. Too lazy to do anything, and I did not try to kill you, you attempted to take my only eye out. How did you trust me earlier today? Hm?" The Prince argued right back, who was pissed looking at only Visenya. "Are you not grateful I got her a dragon egg?"

"I said thank you, it seems like that went over your head. I was exhausted, I was in labor for over 12 hours and I was out of my senses. Not to mention, you weren't  even here when she was born!  You came nearly after she was born!"  She stared at him down with pain in her eyes. She was crying already but she wiped her tears.

"We had 9 months to get our daughter an egg. I tried to tell you over and over, but you said it could wait. You didn't have to suffer getting a child ripping through your whole body, you didn't have to carry my angel in you for nine full months. I suffered, I had chances of dying, and you weren't there at all. Too busy sexual pleasure with other women because I was busy trying to carry this child for you." She finally exploded, she had covered little Visenya's ears when she said things she shouldn't have.  "Don't get me started, you don't deserve to have her as your daughter,"

Aemond stepped forward and pointed his finger at Rhaenya, "Don't  YOU DARE!" He was yelling, Rhaenya held Visenya on her chest and sobbed, she was a mess enough today and this was not helping.

Elaena came in front of her and hugged her, "Come here,"

Aemond tried to push through to talk to her but Elaena wouldn't let her, "Don't you DARE come near her,"

"She is my wife and she is holding my child, my daughter!" Aemond cursed as he kept trying to see Visenya. "Rhaenya let me hold her, let me see her!"

"No," Daeron muttered under his breath, he rolled his eyes as his hands were turning into a fist.

"Daeron, stay out of this!" Aemond shouted at his brother, he laughed maniacally looking at Rhaenya. "You're nothing, the mistake of our family and you won't even let me see my daughter. What is the reason? TELL ME!"

Rhaenya was sobbing in tears and she wanted to lie down but her bed felt so far away.

"Visenya, I'm sorry," she whispered to her child who didn't know what was going on. 

"Brother, that is enough!" Daeron yelled at Aemond, Maris tried to hold him back it was too late.

Elaena quickly went over to Rhaenya who she supported back into bed.  Elaena helped hold Visenya and grabbed the crib.

Daeron was facing his brother once again, "Stop, acting so immature,"

"She's the one who's acting immature!" Aemond pointed at Rhaenya, targeting her for the blame.

The room was tense, but only one of the princes was going to stand up for his sister.  That was the young Daeron, he didn't care how big his brother was, he was going to take him on.

"She has every right to feel upset-

"SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST ME!"  He yelled at Daeron who was just an innocent little boy looking at his elder.

Daeron glared at his brother, he pushed his brother up against the wall and looked at his only eye left. "YOU DON'T GET TO TALK ABOUT WHAT FEELINGS MY SISTER HAS. AND WHAT GRUDGES SHE HOLDS AGAINST YOU."

"Brother let me go," Aemond spat into his brother's face, "You are weak, weak like a little duckling,"

Daeron didn't hesitate but launched at him and start punching his brother, "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

He had let all his anger out on Aemond, he didn't stop until he was fist was covered in blood. 

Aemond couldn't speak, he was getting beat up by his younger brother and it was like nothing.

Finally, the door had opened Ser Criston Cole had dragged Daeron away from the Aemond. Aemond was breathing heavily as Daeron coldly looked at his brother.

"You are a fuckin-

Rhaenya had walked out and saw the afterresult of what happened, she sighed as she wiped her last tear away. She looked hopelessly at the two of them, Ser Criston looked at the Princess then looked at her brothers again.

"What happened?" He spoke up looking at both Princes and then at the Princess.

"It's none of your business, get out of my room!" Rhaenya glared at him, he didn't greet her with a bow or anything.

Then their mother walked in, of course, she had to come during the worst time.

"Why is it always you three who's getting in trouble?"   She pinched her forehead looking at the three of them.  She looked at the exhausted Rhaenya and then at her bloody sons.

"I just wanted to deliver her dragon egg..." Aemond whispered, he looked up at Rhaenya when he said that, but when they met eyes his head went down.

"Then what?" Alicent looked at the three of them, "THEN WHAT?"

"STOP YELLING!" Rhaenya cried as she collapsed onto the floor, "Why can I not get a break, I JUST GIVEN BIRTH AND NO ONE HAS BEEN BY MY SIDE. NO ONE CARED FOR ME. EXCEPT FOR DAERON AND MY FRIENDS. I just want to sleep, I just want to breathe without trouble!"

She looked at Aemond, then at her mother with more tears rolling down her face. Her face was hurting because of how much she had cried already.

"I said thank you Aemond, I know you wanted to hold her, but I don't know if I could trust you," she sighed, she looked at him, then she collapsed to the floor.

"RHAENYA!" Daeron pushed everyone to come to her sister's side. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" He was being protective of her, and he didn't want the people who didn't care for her near her.

"She's being dramatic," Ser Criston Rolled his eyes, looking at the dowager queen for a reaction, but he was quickly silent again.

Alicent came behind Daeron and put her daughter on her twin brother's lap.

"Daeron let me take her," Aemond sadly responded, he wanted to prove that he can be a good man.

"No, get me water right now," He demanded but Aemond kept looking at him, Elaena came out and she quickly grabbed water and woke the Princess up.

"Elaena, Daeron," She gasped as she woke up, Alicent let out a relieving sigh watching her daughter get up. 

Everyone looked at the Princess who just had passed out of exhausting,

"You get to bed right now young lady!" Alicent yelled at her, it was in a good way too. "Lady Elaena take care of her, I have to punish these Princes,"

Elaena nodded and she came beside the princess and helped her back to her bed. She was already in her nightgown as Visenya was peacefully sleeping.

Ser Criston Cole stared at the Princess and her ladies before Lady Elaena came in front of him and shut her bedroom door in his face.
