ㅤㅤㅤSHE'D HAD HER SUSPICIONS FOR A WHILE. Viserys was the first she'd heard voice the same thoughts aloud, giving more credence to the possibility that it might be more than only a hopeful imagination. Since then, the signs became easier to notice. Her brother had mentioned stories of the dragon Syrax laying clutches when her bonded Rhaenyra was with child, but back then Dany had brushed it off as only a tale of the past. Now, as her own child grows within her, the changes in Viserion's behavior have become undeniable. She is nesting, that much is certain, though whether any eggs would be found is still a doubtful thing.
ㅤㅤㅤThat is, until Daenerys sees the clutch with her own eyes. Dany can hear the whispers that erupt behind her among those that have accompanied her here in search of Viserion's nest. Amethyst eyes come alight, a new hope blooming within her chest. She will not be the last dragon, and neither will her children. ❝ Ñuha gevie riña. I should have known. ❞ The queen stays in place until Viserion nudges an egg forward, approaching with great care as she eases gently onto her knees beside Viserion's curled form. The egg is warm to the touch. Alive. Far different from the stone eggs she had once cared for, yet the same as they had been in her dreams, full of heat and life.
ㅤㅤㅤ❝ And just how long were you planning on hiding them? I swear, it's as if you've made a game of this, ❞ Dany teases, a brow quirking as she looks up to Viserion. Her palm presses against the egg, and as she does, she feels a kick within her own growing belly, a sharp inhale while her free hand moves to the source of the movement. And she swears, just as she does, she feels something pulse within the egg as well. ❝ Not even born, and they're both being rowdy, ❞ the queen laughs, taking the egg to cradle in her arms, sitting back more comfortably as she rests against Viserion. A hand stretches outward, beckoning the dragon to press her snout to her palm so she may show her affection. ❝ I suppose this means I'm going to have to tell my brother he was right. I'm already imagining you two snickering about this together. ❞
