(Just want to let you all guys know that I found a song that is absolutely perfect for Ereagon's and Helaena's wedding.And I am obsessed with the song.I'm not going to say what song it is,just that it's a Hozier song, it's an old song but yeah I just discovered it.And I am mad at my cousin for not telling me about it.Yes,you.I know your reading this my dear cousin🤨how dare you.Anyway on to the story.Also I am changing some of the lines)
"Keep pushing,I know you can do it Mama"Ereagon said as she held her mother's hand
"Ereagon, don't leave me"Rhaenyra said through her strained voice
"I'm here Mama.Just follow as the midwife said"Ereagon comforted
Currently Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen is giving birth,as midwives assisted her.The only reason why Ereagon was there was because her mother wanted her to be.Ereagon held her mother's hand letting her squeeze her hand for comfort and strength as she gave birth letting her know she's there.She and her mother may have a strained relationship but that doesn't mean she'll be cruel and let her endure this alone.
"Keep breathing"The midwife said
"What the fuck do you think she's doing?!"Ereagon said frustrated
"Ereagon,please"Rhaenyra said as she took deep breaths squeezing Ereagon's hand tighter
"I'm here.I'm here"Ereagon said softly
"And push"the midwife said
Rhaenyra did as she was told, pushing ass she held tighter on Ereagon's hand.
"Push again,Mama.Your almost there"Ereagon comforted
"The head"the second midwife said
Rhaenyra took a deep breath before pushing as she scream in pain holding tighter on Ereagon's hand who didn't mind at all as she was too focus on her Finally the baby was out as he begin to cry.
"You did it,Mama.It's over now"Ereagon said softly
"A boy,Princess"the midwife said
"Praise the mother"the second midwife said as she gave the wrap up new born to Rhaenyra
"Jace and Luke will have a field day wrestling with him once their older"Ereagon joked making Rhaenyra chuckle despite being tired
"How is he?"Rhaenyra asked
"Kicking like a goat princess"the second midwife said
Rhaenyra smiled happily as she looked at the newborn in her arms.Ereagon was about to stand up and leave but her mother squeeze her hand a signal for her to stay.Ereagon nodded silently as she sat down again looking at her newborn born baby brother happily.The moment was short lived when a maid came in.
"Princess the queen requested for the child to be brought to her immediately"The maid said
"Why?"Rhaenyra asked
The maid shake her head not knowing why as well.Ereagon glared at the maid making her flinch.
"Tell me.Does your job as a maid here pay you well?"Ereagon asked
"Yes,your highness"The maid said
"Good.If you want to keep your job go tell the queen that Princess Ereagon said that Princess Rhaenyra will met her in an hour.And if she has a problem with it then she should come here herself"Ereagon said glaring coldly at the poor maid
"Y-yes your highness"the maid said terrified
"Good.You are dismissed"Ereagon said sternly
The maid bow before she left hurriedly.The two midwives and carefully took the new born from Rhaenyra's arms to cut the cord.
"No...I-i want my daughter to cut the cord"Rhaenyra said breathless still recovering from giving birth
Ereagon nodded not wanting her mother to be stressed out than she already is.She took the scissor from the midwife who guide her on how to cut it.Once it was done Than suddenly groan.
"The aftermath"One of the midwives said
Ereagon held the newborn in her arms as the two midwives helped clean up her mother before sitting her down as they took the newborn again to wash off the blood and dressed properly as a baby blanket wrap around it,before returning the newborn to Rhaenyra.
"Thank you"Rhaenyra said to the midwives who bow before leaving
Ereagon's eyes never left the two midwives untill they left her gaze returning to her mother and the newborn.She silently left before returning with new clothes for her mother.
"Let's get you in the tub,Mama.We only have an hour before we bring you and little brother to Aunt Alicent.I'll put him in the crib for now"Ereagon said softly as she gently and carefully took the newborn into her arms
"Thank you,My heart"Rhaenyra said smiling
Rhaenyra watch as with a smile as Ereagon gently out the newborn in the crib.Before returning to her assisting her to stand up.
"I think it's better if I carry you"Ereagon said
"No,no.I can walk,my heart"Rhaenyra said
"Mama...(sigh)"Ereagon sigh disapprovingly
"Very well.Only if you can carry me"Rhaenyra said
"I'm 5'9 tall already mother and not to mention my training helped me to be a warrior.Carrying you won't be a problem"Ereagon said with a shrugged
Ereagon careful carry her mother in her arms,like a princess as she went to the tub with warm water behind a folding screen.She carefully sat her mother down on a chair.Before she turned around to let her mother undress and get in the tub.Once she heard the splash of water she turned back around and went to get the towel and lay it on the chair near the tub.
"Will you be fine bathing on your own mother?"Ereagon asked
"Yes I will be.Thank you"Rhaenyra said with a smile
Ereagon nodded as she left only to come back a few minutes later with the new clothes leaving it on another chair near the tub.
"I will be with little brother.Call me if you are done bathing"Ereagon said
"Ofcourse my daughter"Rhaenyra said softly
Ereagon nodded silently as she left going to the crib where the new born is.She lean on the crib her hand reaching out to slowly and gently caress the newborn's cheek.Just then the doors open, Laenor Velaryon came in.
"A boy.I just heard.Ereagon!Where is your mother?"Laenor said happy
Instead of answering,Ereagon grab the closest thing to her.Fortunately for her Dad it was a pillow as she threw it straight at his face.
"Hey!What's the matter my little sea dragon?"Laenor asked startled
"You.Are.Late!The.Birth.Of.Your.Own.Damn.Son!"Ereagon said annoyed as she threw another pillow
"I was taking care of the boats your GrandDad send for you,daughter!...(yelp)"Laenor yelp as he dock down avoiding another pillow
"I don't care!Go help Mama!"Ereagon said as she threw another pillow
Laenor dodge the pillow as he hurriedly run behind the folding screen where they can hear a laughing Rhaenyra hearing what's happening.
"What did she threw at you?I can only hear loud thumps of something being thrown"Rhaenyra asked amused
"Only some pillows"Laenor said
"Dad's lucky I didn't grab the vase the first time!"Ereagon called out
Rhaenyra laugh at this again as Laenor sigh shaking his head grabbing the towel.
"Let's get you out of the tub.You are done bathing yes?"Laenor asked
"I am"Rhaenyra said
As Laenor help Rhaenyra behind the folding screen Ereagon is holding the new born in her arms now as she kept grumbling about her Dad.Once Rhaenyra was dressed with the help Laenor Ereagon approached them.
"Let's go"Ereagon said as she handed the new born to her mother
"Hold on.Were are you going?"Laenor asked confused and concerned
"She wants to see him"Rhaenyra said as they went out the door
"Now? It's only been an hour.I'm coming"Laenor said
"I should hope so"Rhaenyra said
"Wonderful you can help me not losing my temper,Dad"Ereagon grin
"(chuckle)...I'm sure you will be fine"Rhaenyra chuckled at her daughter
"Let me take him"Laenor offered
"No.She'll take satisfaction with it"Rhaenyra said
"Take my arm atleast"Laenor said
"Don't bother,Dad.Mama's stubborn"Ereagon rolled her eyes
Laenor chuckled at this as he instead assist Rhaenyra by having his hands around her waist.Ereagon walked behind them ready to catch her mother if she fell backwards.
"Was it terribly painful?"Laenor asked
"Ofcourse it is.You try having a whole baby coming out of you,Dad"Ereagon said full of sarcasm
"I was just asking...(chuckle)"Laenor chuckled
"Oh god"Rhaenyra said seeing the bustling people
Ereagon sigh as she glared at people who dared to look at her mother wrongfully.She couldn't hear what her Mama and Dad were talking from all the people chattering as they bow as they pass.
"I am glad I am not a woman"Laenor said
They stopped walking when they reached the stairs as Rhaenyra let out a painful quiet groan.
"What is it?What is it?"Laenor asked worried
"Fuck.Walk.Walk"Rhaenyra said hurriedly
"Just continue walking.I'm guarding her from behind"Ereagon assured
Rhaenyra nodded slightly relieved that her daughter was behind them as Laenor help her climb the stairs while making sure her dress won't trip her.
"What could she possibly want?I thought we were pass this"Laenor said
Ereagon kept quiet as she saw a man and Woman by the stairs getting them.
"Princess,Ser Laenor.It is a privilege to be amongst the first to congratulate you"Lord Caswell said
"Thank you,Lord Caswell"Rhaenyra said
"If I may be of any service"Lord Caswell said
"We appreciate it,Lord Caswell but we are in a hurry to see the queen.Have a good day"Ereagon said sternly with her piercing gaze
"O-ofcourse,your highness.My apologies"Lord Caswell said terrified
"You are scaring everyone, little sea dragon"Laenor said amused
"Let's just get on with this.I would rather not see my mother in more pain than she already is"Ereagon mumbled to them
As they reach the top they stopped as Rhaenyra let out a groan of pain again.
"We are turning back,alright.She can come to us"Laenor said
"Unless you wish to carry me down does fucking stairs"Rhaenyra said
"Welp.I think that's a no,Dad"Ereagon mumbled
Laenor sigh nodding as they continue their walked heading to Alicent.
(Alicent's Bedchambers)
As Ser Cole let them enter the maids inside bow to them.Alicent stand Infront of the window before turning to look at them.
"Rhaenyra,you should be resting after your labors"Alicent said
"I have no doubt you'd prefer that,your grace"Rhaenyra said
"She would be resting if you didn't call for her to come here.This better be an important discussion,Aunt Alicent"Ereagon said sternly with a stern gaze from behind Rhaenyra and Laenor gaining Alicent's attention
"Ereagon, little sun"Alicent said a bit surprised
"We are going to have a talk after this"Ereagon said with her cold gaze
"O-ofcourse...(gulp)...Talya prepare a cushion for the princess"Alicent said shakily
"There is no need"Rhaenyra said
"Nonsense.Talya please"Ereagon said to the maid softly
The maid hurriedly prepared a soft cushion on the couch for Rhaenyra to sit bowing as she left.As Rhaenyra sat down the doors opened,King Viserys entered.
"What happy news this morning!"King Viserys said happily
"Indeed your grace"Laenor said as he took the newborn from Rhaenyra
"Where is he?Where is my grandson?"King Viserys asked
Rhaenyra smiled as Laenor gave the newborn in to King Viserys arms who cooed.
"There he is.A fine prince.Sturdy,you will make a fearsome knight.Yes you will"King Viserys said
"Does the babe have a name yet?"Alicent asked
"Joffrey.He'll be named, Joffrey"Laenor said
"An unusual name for a Velaryon"Alicent said
"I do believe he hears his father's nose.Don't you?"King Viserys said
Rhaenyra, Laenor,and Alicent looked at each other awkwardly.Ereagon being the smart one decided to avert the conversation elsewhere much to the relief of Laenor and Rhaenyra.
"Well I personally am happy to have another brother"Ereagon said
"Another one for you to spoil"King Viserys said amused
"Why ofcourse Grandpa.I'm the oldest it's my job to spoil them"Ereagon grin
"No doubt you will be a great parent in the future"King Viserys said
"Pray that I will.Now,if you'll excuse my parents,Grandpa.My mother has already exhausted herself from her heroic labor of another life and should rest.Besides I believe we still have much to discuss about my betrothal"Ereagon said
"Ahh yes of course"King Viserys said smiling
Alicent approach the King as she took the newborn in her arms slightly moving the baby blanket on his head to reveal light brown hair on he's head.Alicent took the baby in her arms as Rhaenyra stood up with the help of Laenor.Alicent head to the door as she cooed at the baby, Laenor following behind her.
"Well done,my girl.I do hope the labor was easy"King Viserys said
"I think,I called the midwife a cunt"Rhaenyra said
"Because you did"Ereagon said
"Oh"King Viserys said amused
The father and daughter smiled as Rhaenyra kiss her father's cheek as they hug.
"Do keep trying Ser Laenor.Sooner or later you'll have a girl that Ereagon has been constantly asking...(chuckle)"Alicent chuckled
"Make it a girl next time!"Ereagon called out from beside her mother and grandfather who laugh
Alicent chuckled as she went beside King Viserys who wrap an arm around her as Rhaenyra and Laenor left.
"Now.For my little sunshines betrothal.Has your parents said who you will marry yet?"King Viserys asked
"Not yet.Only that I am already betrothed"Ereagon said
"Yes,well.It was already decided for a long time now.We all decided that it would benefit our family to keep it pure that you marry your Aunt Helaena"King Viserys said
"Oh,Aunt Helaena?And what does she think of this?"Ereagon asked surprised yet curious
"She agreed on it immediately.She said it makes her happy to know she's betrothed to you"Alicent said
"Ah I see"Ereagon nodded slowly
King Viserys sigh as she went to Ereagon wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"We made this decision not only because of the benefit of our family but we have also observed how close and compatible you and Helaena are.I am sure your marriage will be a happy one"King Viserys said smiling
"Very well.I trust your judgement in this one Grandpa"Ereagon nodded
"That's our girl.Now,go to Helaena I'm sure she would be delighted that you are already informed about your betrothed"King Viserys said
"Very well.And grandpa please talk to Aunt Alicent here that next time she calls for my mother's presence just after she gave birth I will not hesitate to have Agarax and Vermithor have her body as a meal"Ereagon said annoyed
"Ofcourse let me handle this"King Viserys said
Alicent flinch as King Viserys looked at her sternly.When Ereagon promise something she will do it.Something that everyone learned the hard way when a knight hurt Luke and Jace accidentally.The poor knight was given well thrown to Agarax as a meal after that.Ereagon nodded as she left.
(Garden)
Helaena is currently at the garden where her's and Ereagon's secret place is.She's currently holding a spider that she and Ereagon saw years ago when they were young.
"I see that spider is still alive after all this years"Ereagon said startling Helaena
"Ereagon!You startled me"Helaena said softly as she calm down
"My apologize.Grandpa said you would be delighted to know that I am infirmed about our betrothal"Ereagon said as she sat down beside her
"Really?You are informed already?"Helaena asked with a smile
"Yes.I will be honest I was shocked about it.You have already known yet you didn't tell me?"Ereagon asked
"Yes I have known of our betrothal for a while now.I promise to be good and devoted wife to you,a good mother when we have children.I hope that you aren't against with this...I truly care for you...deeply.I have loved you since we were young.I hope you give US a chance"Helaena said softly as she held Ereagon's hand
Ereagon smiled as she gain the courage to kiss Helaena on the cheek Intertwining their hands properly as she gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Then i should have made a move on you earlier if I had known"Ereagon said with a grin
Helaena smiled happily as she lean her head on Ereagon's shoulder.Ereagon let go of her hand to wrap her arms around her waist pulling her closer.
"I always feel safe and at home in your arms"Helaena said softly
"I'm glad"Ereagon said
"Can I sit on your lap?I-i want to cuddle."Helaena said softly
Ereagon smiled as she pull Helaena to sit on her lap.Helaena sigh in content as she snuggle more into Ereagon,her head buried on the crook of her neck.The two stayed in the garden holding each other for a while just enjoying each other's company.
