kiera had wanted to be hopeful and prayed as often as possible that this would be a successful pregnancy. too much despair had surrounded their lives as of late. perhaps the elevated emotions made it trickier to process it all. she'd been calmer at first, but now they'd both been settled at dragonstone long enough for the babe's arrival to be near. kiera certainly felt every bit of it, but at least she'd been able to sit down and get a little comfortable. she couldn't help but glance down at her belly as she felt the baby kick and shift about.
"my feelings are more directed towards my condition, my prince," her eyes focused on valarr. her hands still rested on her belly, gently caressing it. but it wasn't necessarily the whole truth either. she'd gotten used to their former home and spending only some time here on dragonstone in the past. maybe it would feel better once the baby arrived and she walk about without worrying about her swollen feet. "it's a home and i love you, i will grow used to it soon." she hoped her words could bring her husband some assurance.
at least being here at dragonstone meant they could have some relative time alone. there were still people that stayed here, other lords and knights, but it wasn't the same as the royal court in king's landing. that felt like another positive for their situation. "i understand. i think i am trying to be careful. i want this baby to be healthy. i have prayed for it to the mother as often as i can," she nodded, feeling her eyes start to tear up. perhaps getting worked up wasn't good for the baby, but she couldn't help it.
