YN awoke with a great emotion in her stomach. Today was her eighth nameday and she was very excited. Gael had promised her a special present and her mother promised to quell her fury against her father for the day and have him over to Dragonstone for her celebration. She was promised her whole family could be here for her name day celebrations, as her mother refused to go back to Kingslanding. No matter how her father had written that celebrations should be held in front of the whole court. Her mother countered that she was too young to participate in those celebrations and it would overwhelm her precious baby. YN didn’t care either way, she was just excited to have her family over for the whole day. Her brother Vaegon had arrived a few days prior and her sister Maegelle arrived yesterday.
YN loved her siblings dearly. Even if most of them were too old to play with her. She was loved dearly by them and cherished by many of them.
YN got up from her bed and looked around her room. She caught the image of Gael sleeping in her own bed. Getting up from her soft featherbed, YN tiptoed over to her sister’s bed and without much thought jumped ontop of her. Jostling the older girl from her rest quite suddenly. But she couldn’t bring herself to be mad at her little sister. Only sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
“Wake up, Gael! It’s my nameday! It’s today!” YN shook her sister and bounced on her lap. Gael smiled and wrapped her arms around YN, tackling her to the bed.
“My sister! It’s your special day!” Gael laughed and began tickling her.
YN laughed and squirmed out of her arms. Rolling out of the bed and onto the floor. Gael looked down at her and smiled a great smile. YN sat up and pulled herself off of the ground. She ran to her bed and jumped on top of it, standing high on the soft surface. She let out a loud laugh then flopped backward onto the bed.
“Today will go just as I want it, Gael. Momma and Daddy are gonna get along. Daemon will play with me and you. Rhaenys will be here and so will Viserys. Our brothers and sister will spend the night together. And everything will go perfectly.” YN explained while staring at the ceiling. She tilted her head up to look at Gael once again. “Won’t that be perfect?”
Gael got up from bed and walked over to YN. She played with her fingers once she reached YN. Smiling at her tiny hand. “If you will it, today will go just as you want.” Then leaving down she placed a kiss on her cheek. “Come. Let’s go wake up momma.”
YN then followed her out of the room. The two, still in their nightgowns, ran through the castle toward their mother’s room. But before they could reach her they bumped into a gray figure clasped in Maester robes. This pale looking man stopped and looked down at the small creatures in front of him.
“YN? Is that you?” He asked and knelt down to look at her.
YN tilted her head and took a moment looking at the man before recognizing him. He was the same man from her brother Aemon’s funeral. Her brother who became a maester. YN brought a hand out and touched his cold cheek. Smiling at him once she knew who he was.
“Vaegon.” YN said and leant forward to hug him. He brought a hand to her back and squished her against himself.
“I haven’t seen you since Viserra’s funeral. You wouldn’t remember that. But you were smiling at me. You were the first child to ever smile at me.” Vaegon said and Pulled back to look at her. He gave an uncertain smile, one that would turn away most children but YN simply smiled back.
“I’m glad you’re here. I wanted my whole family here.” YN said and grabbed Gael’s hand.
“YN wants everyone to feast together.” Gael said shyly. She was not as comfortable around Vaegon. “We’re trying to find momma.”
“Well I won’t stop you. Go along, she’s just down that corridor.” He gestured and watched as they skipped down the corridor.
As YN and Gael found their way to their mother’s room. Gael stopped her sister when she heard their mother’s voice raising as she spoke to someone. Pressing her ear against the door, making YN press hers against the door as well. They listened to their mother speaking to another in her room.
“I don’t care how much he claims to value me! He clearly values no woman if he thinks we lack the wit to rule. Nevermind the tasks that I have accomplished as queen. How many laws that are passed in my name. He will not see it.” Alysanne said in a loud voice.
“Mother please. The realm needs you both united. Your family needs you both united.” The other voice pleaded.
“No Maegelle. I will not bend on this. He would not let me bring Saera home when Viserra died, he thinks I must lack wit and intelligence. I cannot let my daughters be around that man.”
Before the two could reach any conclusion, YN and Gael burst into the room. YN looked at the Septa who sat across from her mother. She guessed this was Maegella, her older sister who became a septa long before she was born. The two older women smiled at the two girls that stood in front of them. Alysanne opened her arms to her girls, smiling at them warmly.
“My girls.” Alysanne said as they ran into her arms. “You both are not dressed. Were you running around the castle in your nightgowns?”
The two girls giggled and smothered their mother in kisses. YN climbed ontop of her mother and sat upon her lap. She smiled and played with her mother’s hair before looking at Maegelle. Her older sister smiled and held out a hand to the youngest girl, which YN grabbed and squeezed tightly.
“Are you excited for today dear sister?” Maegelle asked and pulled Gael to her.
“I’m excited to have everyone here! Rhaenys promised me a pony! And Baelon is going to bring Viserys and Daemon!” YN said quickly. Practically vibrating in her seat.
“Yes, Yes, my love, but you must get dressed or you cannot receive anyone today.” Alysanne said and stood up with her daughter carried in her arms.
“I want to wear pink today!” YN said.
With a warm hum, Alysanne carried her daughter back to her room, with Gael walking close behind her. Alysanne wanted today to go perfect for her dearest daughter. Even if she had to tolerate her husband for a night. She knew Jaehaerys would try to convince her to make YN go back to Kingslanding. But nothing would make her separate from her youngest daughter. When they made it to her room, the maids were there setting out various dresses for her daughter to wear. YN and Gael ran to their dresses and both chose a pink dress. Alysanne watched as the maids dressed them and did their hair. Gael had hers up in various braids and YN had hers in dressed down half braids.
“You look beautiful my darlings.” Maegelle said.
A servant entered the room and bowed to the queen. “Many pardons your majesty, but the king and the princes are here.”
That made YN look up and run out of the room. Alysanne called out to her, but YN did not hear her. She ran to the great hall where various nobles were and caught sight of Baelon and his sons. She ran up to him with her arms outstretched.
“Baelon!” YN shouted and jumped into his arms. He lifted her up and spun her around.
“My lovely sister!” He said loudly and kissed her cheek. “It’s your nameday! Are you happy!”
“I’m so happy and excited!” YN exclaimed as he put her down. She turned to Daemon and gave him a tight hug. “I missed you Daemon.” He hugged her very tightly. Almost reluctantly he pulled away from her.
She wanted to say so many things to Daemon, she missed her playmate very deeply. He missed her more so than she missed him. Viserys said his hellos and gave her a sweet hug. YN spoke very fast to her nephews and waved her hands around quickly. She almost didn’t notice the man the nobles were crowding till he said her name in a soft way.
“YN…”
She turned and saw her father for the first time in months. Tears welling up in her eyes, YN ran forward and jumped into her fathers arms. Crying for her father and shoving her face into the crook of his neck.
“I missed you daddy.” YN cried and held him close.
“My darling girl. My very precious girl.” Jaehaerys whispered and held her close. The various nobles smiled at the sweet scene. For the two of them, the world did not exist. YN loved and missed her father. Their sweet scene was interrupted by her mother coming in to see them. She still loved Jaehaerys, and as angry as she was with him she could not pull her daughter away from her father. She merely called out her name, making YN pull away and smile at her mother.
“Mama look! It’s daddy!”
“I see that my love. I’m glad you are so happy.” She smiled and ushered Gael forth to welcome her father.
“Today is going to be perfect!” YN exclaimed and held both of her parents hands. Connecting them through their precious daughter. It was her eighth nameday and everyone wanted to make it perfect for the youngest and dearest of Jaehaerys’ children.
