Targaryen Twins--Daenerys Targaryen - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

I wake up slowly at the chattering of people and an aching stomach my eyes slowly open to see my family and the measter standing over me "It is hard to sleep with all your talking"
Jon's head snaps to me and if he went any quicker then I'm sure his head would have flown off his shoulders he rushes to my side "Lia, how are you?"
"I am fine..." I look around and see Daenerys she looks saddened I turn back to Jon "..what happened?"
He looks around the room and everyone looks to the ground and I get annoyed at the lack of answers "Tell me"
Jon looks back to me with a sad look "You are with child"
I blink a few times in disbelief and I look around the room and see no lies or deceit it's not really a sad thing but Jon knows that I wouldn't want children when there is a possible threat to my life. I shake my head "That's impossible"
"It is the truth"
I look around and I can feel the colour drain out of my face "The blood shown that you aren't looking after your child the child is a fighter but I recommend you say out of meetings any war and relax and not stress"
I barely hear the words that come from the maesters mouth as I try to figure out how this has happened I've only slept with Daenerys "How many moons?"
The question comes out raspy and a cup of water is passed to me from Jon I take the cup and drink all of the water "I would say nearly 2"
Oberyan it has to be he was the last man I've been with I chuckle lightly I've slept with him over the years I was in Dorne and others but no child now I have a child. My chuckle turns into tears slipping from my eyes and which turns into crying I feel Jon's arms wrap around me.
How could I be so stupid I've put my child in danger I didn't notice, how could I not have figured it out why haven't I been shown this in my dreams. My tears die down and I pull back from him I pull the blanket from my legs and go to stand but a hand is placed on my shoulder "You have to rest Lia"
I move his hand from hand and stand my bare feet hitting the cold ground not that I can feel it "Get me some clothes I have to go to godswood"
"No Lia you have to rest you have to take care of yourself and your child"
My eyes narrow at him and I walk past him to the doors but I'm stopped by unsullied guards' spears. I look over to Daenerys whose expression is cold and distant "Let me out or ill cut these soldiers down myself"
I know that they won't touch me and nobody will try to force me to stay by man-handling me when I have a child in my stomach "Your queen demands you to stay and rest"
I scoff at her words and if anyone else was in the room apart from Jon I would have obeyed but I'm lucky enough that they left "I will not"
She tilts her head but I ignore her and push past the guards and as I thought they do nothing. I walk through the halls I can hear the rushed footsteps approach me "Lia! Stop!"
I continue walking even after Jon gets to my side I continue way outside "Lia have you gone mad you will freeze"
I step onto the snow and weirdly I can't feel it I continue walking ignoring any strange looks that are sent my way I ignore the calls of Jon I pretty much ignore anything until I stop at the weirwood tree.
I turn back and see Jon looking at me like I've gone mad "Lia get back inside you are going to hurt yourself"
"Leave Jon"
He stares at me for a moment but shakes his head and turns around in a huff and walks away I watch until he is out of sight and turn back to the tree. I place a hand on the tree "Why did you not show me?"
I whisper I slowly sink to my knees "What have I done wrong?"
I am and always be old gods believer I have and always will be loyal to them so I don't understand why they wouldn't show me this but show me things of war "Please show me"
How could I be so stupid I have to bring a child into this horrible world tears slip down my face once again. My child will grow up in a world of danger and betrayal "Your child will grow to have the same abilities as you"
I turn around quickly and see Bran "They showed you? And you knew?"
I stand up how could they show him but not me "Yes"
My eyes narrow at him "How could you not tell me, I put my child in danger"
He ignores my question and carries on speaking "Your child will grow powerful more powerful than any of us"
My anger starts to grow at his unemotional demeanour I stand up and walk closer to him "What does it mean? why didn't they show me?"
"They only showed me a glimpse but the child could be dangerous to us all she is a dragon who will burn us all or protect us from the dangers of the world"
I freeze in my spot at his words I don't care about the possibilities especially since the child isn't born but what makes me freeze is the word 'she'. I will keep her safe and raise her to be good she will be a protector, not a tyrant what Bran has told me is only a prophecy. 'Every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land' it is the same as this saying but will be much direr with the abilities she will hold. "I will raise her to be a protector"
"You can try"
I let out a breath and walk away they told Bran but not me because she could be a danger to the world. Do the gods want my child dead?

I'm sitting in a warm bath my hand on my stomach it looks more noticeable but I don't know if it's because now I know or if it's always looked like this. I hear a knock at my door and all I want is to ignore it "Who is it?"
"Margaery"
"Come in"
I hear the door open and close and footsteps come closer she comes and kneels next to my bath after a moment of silence I look over at her and she is smiling "What will you name the child?"
I playfully roll my eyes at her "I hate you"
She chuckles lightly and flicks some water at me "No, you do not Margaery is a good name if it is a girl"
"It is a girl"
I turn to her and she raises an eyebrow "How do you know?"
"I think the gods do not want my child to live...there is a prophecy about her"
She looks at me with interest and I'm not sure I want to tell anyone but Margaery is someone I trust "What is it?"
"She will either burn the world or protect us"
"Do not worry about that with you as her mother she will be the greatest person to ever live and obviously with me as an aunt"
I laugh at her words I would say it's a bit weird if she was my child's aunt since we have slept together but then I'd be a hypocrite. Things like this make me happy my child will have plenty of people to protect and show her the rights of the world "Yes she will be"
"Will you tell me who is the father?"
I sink further into the water "It's Oberyen it was the first night we got to Dragonstone that was the last time I was with a man"
She gasps "Does that mean?"
I nod and she smiles at me "I knew it"
"Yes yes you know everything maybe your name should be all-powerful seer"
"I quite like wise wolf more"
I roll my eyes and look over to my towel "Can you grab my towel?"
She nods and stands up and goes and grabs my towel and holds it out to me "Turn around"
"Seriously you act as if I haven't seen you naked before"
I give her a stern look and she rolls her eyes and turns while holding out the towel "If you are to be my child's aunt then you should not say that"
I stand and grab the towel wrapping myself in it I would feel like I'm betraying Daenerys if I was to show myself completely bare to another. I notice that she doesn't know my true identity it will be revealed eventually but I want to tell her myself. She may understand or she will think I'm disgusting for what I'm doing "I have to tell you something"
She turns around and looks at me "What is it?"
I walk into the bedroom and sit at my dresser I hear Margaery follow me I feel it's best to get on with it "I am not Lia snow my name is Rhaelys Targaryen"
"What?"
"My father is Rhaegar Targaryen and my mother is Lyanna Stark"
She sits on my bed she plays with the rings on her fingers "That would make Daenerys your aunt"
I nod at her words "And you still engage with her?"
"Yes I fell in love before I knew"
She nods and stands up and walks over and kneels down next to me taking my hands in hers "You can't help who you love"
"You will still be my friend?"
"Of course, I will be...Even if you're an aunt fornicater"
My eyes narrow and I pull my hand away from her "Nope I do hate you"
She laughs as she stands up and covers a hand over her heart "You break my heart especially since I still love after you and your aun-"
I stand up and walk over to my bed "Stop and leave my room"
"I am sure you don't say that to Dae-"
I throw a pillow at her which she dodges by leaving the room I can hear her laughter as she leaves.
« « « « «
I led down in my bed reading being confined to my bed while everyone is busy is boring. It is now night I'm sure tomorrow we will be going to war not that I am allowed to participate in it and I'm thinking I don't want to.
My main concern is now my child and her health I hear a knock at my door and I look up from my book "Come in"
I door opens slowly and I spot platinum hair poking in from around the door "May I come in?"
I raise an eyebrow at her caution and notice I may have been disrespectful earlier "Yes you may"
I place my book down as she walks in she stands there awkwardly "I am sorry for disobeying you I was angry"
"It is fine"
I shake my head "It's not you are my queen and I am sworn to you I should have obeyed"
"Thank you for your apology"
I nod and the air turns to silence and I know the question she wants to ask "She is Oberyens it was the first night I got to Dragonstone"
"She?"
I nod and her earlier downcast expression has turned into a smile she sits down at the foot of my bed "What will you name her?"
"I am thinking Visenya or Alyssane"
"A Targaryen name"
I nod at her and stand up and grab a cup of water "She will have Targeyen blood...Not that it will matter since she is a bastard"
"She will be legitimatised as a Targaryen once she comes out of your womb"
I smile at her words and walk back over to her I stand in front of her and lightly cup her face "Do you not think this is a blessing? We could raise this child together as our own"
"What of Oberyen?"
"I will tell Oberyen and he will be happy he gave us such a blessing"
My thumb brushes over her bottom lip Daenerys eyes stay on mine but mine are on the movement of my finger all I want is for her mouth to be in between my le- "Visenya"
My thumb and thought stop and I look up from her lips to her eyes "What?"
She places a hand on my stomach and I can't help but adore the sight "Visenya...Our child will be named Visenya"
A smile grows on my face I lean slightly down and place a kiss on her head "Visenya Targaryen...a little unoriginal but it will be fitting"
I hear her laughter and I pull back away from her "I want to be in the war against the white walkers"
"No"
I let out a sigh I knew that she would say that and she is being reasonable but ill be perfectly fine on the back of Viserion "Let me ride Viserion into battle ill be fine"
"No"
She is thinking about our child and my health and the measter did tell me to stay out of war, maybe I'm being stupid and have to get used to carrying a child inside of me. I've never been one to have someone else defend me but a child grows inside me a child who is defenceless to the outside world a child who I have to protect.
I pull her up to her feet and she looks at me strangely I turn her around and start to undo her dress "Okay I will not fight in battle but I must have you right now"
I make haste in taking off her dress and once I'm finished she turns around and steps out of the discarded dress and wraps her arms around my neck "Then you shall have me"
« « « « «
I'm sitting on my bed reading the last of my book it's the only thing that is relaxing me apart from being in Dae's presence while Daenerys put her last braids in "Didn't you feel the cold"
I look up and see Daenerys looking at me through the mirror "What do you mean?"
"When you stepped outside barefoot? Me and Jon-"
"You and Jon? since when have you two been close"
I see her roll her eyes "You wanted us to get married I have to at least speak to him"
I smirk and look back down to my book "I'm not annoyed I'm happy you two are getting along, if you two get along it ensure that my life will be a happy one"
"As I was saying me and jon thought it was strange that you were able to walk barefoot in the snow and not get frostbite"
I shrug at her words "I wasn't feeling much of anything"
She hmms in acknowledgement and I place my book down and walk over to her I push her hands away from her hair and begin a new braid "Please be careful I cannot bare it if I was to lose you and It's even worse that I can't be there to protect you"
"I have an army and three dragons to protect me ill be fine"
"You can't possibly know that, just promise you will try your hardest to come back to me"
Why am I so stupid? Why did I have to get pregnant now during one of the hardest wars there is "I promise"
I smile and bend down to place a kiss on the side of her head.
« « « « «
I just saw the queen and my family off and now I'm standing at the godswood even with my brother's protests. I place a hand on the tree and let out a sigh "Please protect the people I love and I will return your favour ten-fold"
I close my eyes "And protect my child I will guarantee that she will be a protector she will be loyal to you as I am"
I open my eyes and see the wind blowing the leaves heavily I let a smile grow on my face as I watch and see that the old gods have answered me.
