A lullaby

Summary : you catch A sweet moment between Aemond and your new born daughter

Your hand met with the lukewarm space on the sheet, as your fingers scrunched the fabric you opened your eyes. Aemond was missing. You raised yourself up, carefully moving yourself to the edge of the bed you slowly got out, delicately wrapping a night robe around your still tender and sore body. Your chambers were deadly silent, this frightened you.

You opened the bedchamber door and stood down the cold steps, your bare feet meeting the silky comfort of the rug beneath you feet. At that moment you heard a distant low humming mixed with words you did not fully understand , coming from the nursery .

Following the voice your eyes widened as you recognized the voice , you made your way to the nursery and stood looking in as the door was halfway open . Aemond stood there, you noticed his eye patch was on, yet he was cradling your newborn daughter , singing softly …in high Valyrian. You heard Visera coo as he sang a little more. Your hand clutched over your chest, in awe of what you were witnessing

Perzyro udrȳssi

Ezīmptos laehossi

Hārossa letagon

Aōt vāedan

(With words of flame

With clear eyes

To bind the three

To you I sing)

He was so attentive and gentle, Visera was not even an month old and Aemond was already so devoted.

You smiled gently as your fingers found the door and nudged it open. Aemonds head turned ever so slowly and he too beamed when he saw you standing there. He looked at Visera then back at you as he gently swayed her , before slowly placing her back down in her crib., he rested his hands on the wooden frame of the cradle …you wondered over and looped your arm with his, resting your shoulder on his.

“She’s perfect.” He whispered

You agreed with him, her labour was difficult and frightening but to have her here safely was worth it.

“Thank you…” he whispered quickly kissing the side of your forehead

You looked up at him “whatever for my love?” You asked

He cupped the side of your face gently “You have given me two beautiful children…at almost the great cost of your own life…and I have been foolish…” he couldn’t finish his words…Storms End still tormented him greatly

“I do not know what I would do…if you were taken from me…or our children…” his voice broke . Your heart twinged with sorrow at seeing him express his deepest fear, not falling from Vhagar or dying in battle. Loosing his family was his greatest trepidation- to admit to this vulnerability somehow made you feel more connected …as it was your fear too.

Your hand found it’s way to his neck met his jaw and you held him, delicately as you saw the distress and conflict in his eyes

“Nothing in this gritty world will separate me from you , nor our children from us…if Rhaenyra comes for us…we will be ready.” You said.

He glanced down at Visera “The thought of anything happening to my children-“ he closed his eye in fear, you leaned up and kissed him slowly but with reassurance.

When his eye opened he nodded once, you rested your head against his and smiled softly as his arms met around your back, holding you.

“I’ve known you for most of my life and have been your wife for only four years…yet I never knew how beautifully you sang.”

You felt his exhale against the top of your head “I like to keep some mystery from you.” He teased

“Nothing too mysterious I hope.” You said looking up at him.

He let go of you “I was …saving this surprise until the morn but…” he swiftly moved to a large cloth bag that was sat on the table next to where Visera slept. You watched him, curiously.

“Aemond what is it?”

He held the bag in front of you, slowly removing the cloth- you covered your hand to mask you gasp of awe. In his hands sat a tainted crimson dragon egg, with gold dust speckled across the scales

“Aemond it’s…” you were lost for words

“You like it?” He asked

“It’s beautiful …when did you….” You said not taking your eyes off the egg.

“Earlier today…I wanted to surprise you .” He said sweetly

You nodded “You already have…It is a majestic dragon egg. “ he held it out offering it

“I want you to place it in our daughters crib…”

Your eyes glowed wide in shock “Aemond…I….no you should do this for her…”

He shook his head taking a step closer “I was fortunate enough to gift Aelor his dragon egg…I want my wife , who I adore , to give Visera hers.”

You were speechless, utterly left in silence and Marvellous wonder at Aemonds request.

“Together?” You suggested

He relented , you took the egg and one of Aemonds hands lightly went against yours as you lay it down beside Visera’s Tiny feet. She gurgled slightly as you both watched her. Aemond put his arm around you slowly, smiling and when you turned to look at him - letting your lips meet , he then peppered small kisses on your nose

“I love you so much Aemond..” you breathed

“And I love you.” He smiled kissing you once more.

You both took another look at Visera before leaving her to rest with her egg, you both returned to your bedchamber and slept so peacefully no force on earth could shatter this perfect evening.
