Baela x Helaena
"Are you sure about that, Helaena?"
"Baela, this is the third time you've asked me that." Helaena rolled his eyes but then smiled. "I'm fine. The maester said it was just a false alarm."
"But… What if it's not a false alarm next time?" Baela asked. "What if I'm not here to help you--"
"My love." Baela automatically fell silent, recognizing that tone of voice. "I'm fine and I'll be fine." Helaena smiled. "Just like Daenerys."
Baela's purple eyes focused on his wife's large belly and she couldn't help but smile. To think that this morning she had been woken up just out of time because of her agitated offspring!
"And also..." Helaena said softly, placing the last bowl with food for the animals. "I'll be with your brothers and sister all morning. If anything happens, they'll let you know."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I have." Helaena smiled, that kind of smile that made Baela's cheeks blush a strong shade of red as her heart bounced in her chest.
"Okay..."Baela nodded, feeling a little safer than before. Even so, Helaena could still see that his wife was still a little worried; and she couldn't help but smile at it. "But I promise I'll be there when Daenerys is born, okay?"
"But of course." Helaena laughed slightly, rubbing his cheek against Baela's blushing, before reciprocating the gesture. "Now, go meet with the grandparents before you're late."
Baela smiled, exchanging a kiss with his wife before withdrawing.
"Thanks for the help." Helaena smiled, resting the watering can on the small tea table and taking a look at her large belly that had finally stopped growing. "Even the most basic things get hard to do with a belly of this size..."
"Why, that's it, we're always here to help." Jace smiled at his aunt, swaying to get rid of the leaves in her hair.
As soon as the group finished with the chores, both from the house and the garden, they grabbed their things and headed for the lake. They held out the plaid towel under a tree and set about catching up.
Of course, the biggest focus of the conversation was Helaena and little Daenerys.
"You've already tidied up her room right?" Luke spoke in that agitated way, as she ate a piece of cake that he had brought herself. "Because baby rooms are so cute! Aemond and I renovated the Aemma room and it was so much fun!"
Helaena laughed slightly. She enjoyed hearing what Luke had to tell her, since he had been the first in the group to have a daughter and had much more knowledge about caring for babies thanks to his little princess.
"Hello! Sorry for the delay!" Rhaena trotted elegantly to where the group was, bringing with her a small basket.
"At last, huh, Rhaena?" Joffrey laughed, laying on the towel extended.
"How are you today, Helaena?" as she sat next to her aunt. "Look at you... That dark circles! Didn't you sleep well tonight, honey?"
"Not much." Helaena laughed slightly. "We had a false alarm this morning and after that, I couldn't sleep anymore." She took a look at her belly, stroking it lightly with a hoof. "By the way Daenerys is either crazy to leave soon or she just ended up winning the hustle and bustle of Baela..."
"I'm sorry for you if that's the case..." Jace retorted and the group laughed.
She talked for a while longer until...
"Oh."
Joffrey diverted attention from his book as soon as Helaena gasped lightly beside her.
"Aunt Helaena, is that okay?"
"I..." Helaena took a deep breath. "I'm feeling... Contractions..."
The four people took the time to process the information.
"Already?! Is it time?" Rhaena exclaimed.
"Are you sure, Helaena? What do we do?" Jace intervened.
"Um... Guys..." Helaena tried to speak.
"OMG BABIES ARE COMING?!" Luke screamed.
"Do you feel good? Want to sit down?" Joffrey quickly questioned.
"Guys...!" The pregnant woman was ignored again.
"Need something?" Luke asked.
"Is the baby coming?!" Jace screamed swinging his arms.
"GUYS!" Helaena screamed—or at least raised her voice a little more—and her nephews and cousin instantly fell silent. "Oh, sorry. But please calm down... All I need is to get ready to go to the maester..."
"Oh yes, of course! We will help you!" Rhaena nodded, restraining herself.
The group rushed in the direction of the Dirftmark, where a dragon race is happening. The crowd was already making an uproar, though nothing was going on in the sky yet. Luke and Joffrey had stayed behind, to stand by Helaena's side.
"We have to let Baela know before she starts her race!" Jace spoke quickly.
"Stop there!" The group braked violently, Rhaena even accidentally hit Jace with a soft " squeak ". " I'm sorry, my lady and prince, but only people who participate in the dragon race are allowed to enter her through this entrance!"
"But... We need to talk to Baela!" Jace retorted. " We have news about her wife!" Still, the knight wasn't about to budge.
I’m sorry, my prince but Lord Corly ordered us to guard the entrance.
The siblings looked at each other, wondering what they wanted to do.
"Oh, I hate to abuse my position like that..." Jace sighed but was interrupted before she could say anything.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Drifmark the race is about to start!" The voice of the advertiser echoed through the field, towering over the voices of the Crowd.
"Get ready to lose cousin! " said Aegon excited
In your dreams Aegon. I'm gonna beat you and Sunfyre you as well Father and Daeron. Tessarion and Caraxes are no match for me and Moondancer.
The music began, as the race was about to start, and then, at high speed, the 4 dragons took to the air, making the crowd below them crazy.
"Oh, no..."
"UGH! We don't have time for that!" Rheana took a deep breath. "BAELA!"
Baela was surprised by the voice that rose above the sound of the wind passing swiftly through her ears.
"Uh? Rhaena?" She averted her eyes from the direction she was supposed to go.
"Baela, focus!" Daemon hissed.
Baela still turned her attention to the origin of the voice, seeing her well-known group of friends, at the moment covering their ears as best they could with Rheana's screams.
"Baela!" Rheana screamed again, jumping as high as she could. "HELAENA IS IN LABOUR!"
"Helaena!" Baela stopped immediately, remembering what had happened before and what they had talked about earlier that day.
"Baela what are you doing?" Aegon asked, noticing that Moondancer was falling behind.
"Sorry, but I have to go!" Baela retorted. "I promised Helaena I'd be there!"
Baela decided she had already spent enough time and, without a second thought, quickly, she flew out of formation.
"Baela...!"
"Let her go, Helaena is in labour." Daemon interrupted Aegon.
What are we doing here then, my sister is in labour.
Baela flew as fast as she could, faster than she had ever flown before. The only thing that took her mind was Helaena and her future baby, all she thought about was knowing how her family was doing.
She entered the waiting room just as quickly as when she was flying, breaking inches from the door. Surprisingly both maester and nursing maids.
"How is she?!" Baela screamed.
"Please don't scream!" One maid spoke maybe a little too loudly. She gasped.
My lady yo-
"How is my wife and child!" Baela wouldn't let her finish. "She must be having our baby now! I need to see her! I promised I'd be here!"
"Baela!"
"Joff!" Baela hurried over to her friend. "How's Helaena? And Daenerys? Are they okay?"
"Calm down, Baela, please." Luke smiled. "They're both fine. And you arrived just in time, Daenerys literally just got born!"
"She... She's here...!" Baela repeated, giving a smile so wide that his cheeks hurt. "I have to see them! Can I?"
"Of course, you can my lady ." The nursing maid said, with a severe expression. "I would just ask you to please keep your voice down--"
"WE'VE ARRIVED!" Rheana screamed into the hospital.
"Shhhh!" the nurses hissed loudly.
"Oops, hehe sorry about my sister. We are just excited to meet our niece" Jace laughed slightly.
"Come with me, please." The nurse threw Rhaena a sour look before guiding Baela towards the room.
Baela removed the coat and mask from her uniform. She had left the race lineup without even a second thought, and honestly, she would do it again. She loved racing, and she loved being a part of them, but Halaena was more important.
"She's in this room." The nurse stopped by a door and turned to the small group that followed them there. "Please, it's better for the group to wait here. Give moms some alone time."
A slight shiver flashed down Baela's back upon hearing that word. Moms. They were mothers. And on the other side of that room were his wife and daughter.
The nurse knocked lightly on the door and she opened it, revealing a maester. He smiled at Baela and got out of the way so she could get in. All the speed and bustle of before had vanished Baela upon finding himself inside the room. She hesitated at the foot of the door, until Rheana gave a slight push to her flank, making her closer.
Helaena was lying on the bed, leaning on a large pillow, with a shape wrapped in a lilac towel in her arms. She smiled at Baela as she approached; his silver hair was slightly untidy, and his eyes were tired of the effort.
"Beloved..." She called her voice soft, and tired, and Baela quickly approached. "Isn't she the most precious little thing in the world?"
And finally, Baela saw her little Daenerys.
She was so tiny, curled up in the lilac towel, the only thing you could see was her little head. His short hair was soft silver. And when she squirmed, yawning, her eyes blinked now and then, staring into nothingness, and they were a dark purple, identical to Baela's.
"She's beautiful..." Baela tried to hold back her tears, but couldn't, and decided it didn't matter.
"yes..." Helaena smiled, pressing his muzzle against his wife's neck. "I can't believe you got here that fast..."
"Hey, I promised I'd be here, didn't I?" Baela laughed, placing an arm around her wife.
"Yes, you promised." Halaena moved closer, lightly kissing the other's pink cheeks, before snuggling against her neck again.
Can we see her now please" Joffrey said
Yes please" Rhaena asked
Hahahaha, come in
Dear siblings, meet your niece Daenerys Targaryen.
Omg, she is so cute.
While the group was fangirling about their new niece.
Aegon warned the others that Helaena was in labour.
The rest of the family rushed to Helaena worried about her and the baby but also excited to see their new family member.
Rheanyra and Alicent were the first ones to arrive.
Helaena are you okay
Mother, sister I'm fine so is the baby.
Omg can I see her
Of course, mother and mother-in-law meet Daenerys Targaryen " said Baela
Rheanys was the second to arrive because Meleys was faster than the rest.
How are you?
They are fine Grandma. Now come meet your great granddaughter Daenerys Targaryen.
The rest arrived shortly after Rheanys.
Everyone was fangirling about Daenerys.
Guys calm down, meet Daenerys Targaryen." Helaena said
She is perfect. Congratulations sister and cousin. Aemond said.
She will be a great warrior, daughter.
Thank you, Father,
Congratulations on a beautiful princess " said Daeron
She makes me want to have a little princess of my own. " Daeron said while looking at Joffrey.
Me too " said Aegon with looking at Jace
Ohhhhhhhh are we gonna expect more nephews or nieces? " Rheana said with a smile.
Jace and Joffrey blushes
Anyways can you leave, I wanna spend time with my wife and baby.
She is perfect, my love
Daenerys lifted her bright eyes to his mother's and laughed lightly.
