Rhaenyra and Alicent have just become mothers for the very first time to a little bundle of joy (terror) to which they named Aegon.
The pregnancy and birth were a bit of a nightmare but oh so worth it, especially when they see all the little milestones Aegon is already hitting.
Today is a day where the two women can finally settle into a perfect rhythm following a few days of stressful misunderstandings and blunders. The misunderstandings and blunders are a given when becoming new parents.
Alicent comes through the nursery door and looks over at Rhaenyra as the blonde holds their newborn son, Aegon, and smiles, her doe-brown eyes filling with pure love, adoration, and tears for the Targaryen and their new babe.
“Babe, what are you staring at?” Rhaenyra asks with a chuckle, violet eyes flickering to her teary eyed wife.
“Nothing, just you and Aegon. Look at you both, it’s such a beautiful sight.“ Alicent says, her voice growing squeaky with tears.
“Babe, I’m the one who just pushed the baby out of my vagina, and you’re the one crying?” Rhaenyra asks with a grin, a soft giggle building in the back of her throat.
“I’m sorry, I’m just so happy! I’m with the woman I love, we have a tiny little son, and oh my god, he just pissed on you!” Alicent starts all teary-eyed, her voice squeaky and hands moving to fan the tears but quickly dissolves into a snorting cackle.
“Dude, come on! Not cool, Eggy!” Rhaenyra says with a grimace, a laugh leaving her lips as she looks down at Aegon with a scrunched-up face.
“This is great!” Alicent says through giggles as she films the whole interaction, her hand covering her mouth so she can calm herself a tad and film.
“Aliiiiiii, get over here and get your son!” Rhaenyra says with a huff, trying to sound authoritative and cranky even though she’s also fighting a laugh.
“Fine, fine! Give me our little terror. I’ll diaper and clothe him.” Alicent says with a laugh, carefully grabbing the tiny one-week-old and cradling him to her chest.
“Thank you, sweetheart. I’m going to go cha-…HA!” Rhaenyra goes to say as she moves from in front of the bassinet, her voice halting and turning into a bark of laughter as Aegon nails Alicent right between the eyes.
“No! Ewwwww! Whyyyyy?! Aegon, are-…are you smiling? Rhaenyra, is he smiling? I think you’re smiling!” Alicent sputters as she keeps a gentle hand on the babe as he lies on the changing table, his already violet eyes peering up unfocused as his mouth twitches into a smile.
“Payback is a BITCH, babe! Oh, you’re right, he is smiling! HA! Good boy, Eggy! Give Mummy a bit of payback for laughing at Muña.” Rhaenyra giggles out as she coos over the babe, giggles turning to snickers as Alicent scrubs her forehead with a baby wipe while muttering to herself.
“Like mother, like son. He’s going to be just like you, always getting a kick out of terrorizing me. You are so lucky I love you both, so lucky.” The brown-eyed woman says as she mutters, a soft smile twitching at the corner of her lip as her eyes cut to her wife and son.
“I am lucky, but I do have a feeling he will terrorize us both. But we’re in it together. Yeah?” Rhaenyra says with a soft and loving look in her violet eyes, her nose gently nuzzling with Alicent’s as she smiles at the auburn-haired woman.
“Yeah, we are.” Alicent whispers with a soft smile, sealing the promise with a gentle kiss. Alicent’s eyes fluttering at the gentle touch of Rhaenyra’s lips, a contented sigh leaving her as she realizes she has all she’s ever wanted right here at her fingertips: Rhaenyra and their little boy, Alicent’s own little family who loves her unconditionally.
Aegon gets restless, a soft cry leaving his lips to get the attention of his two mothers.
The women pull apart with soft giggles, their eyes turning to the squirming little babe. Alicent quickly diapers and clothes him while Rhaenyra goes to change her shirt, carefully picking the baby up when she’s done clothing him.
“Let’s meet your Muña downstairs. We can all have cuddle time on the couch, our little dragon.” Alicent says softly as she maneuvers from the room and down the steps, a gentle but firm hold on Aegon who lies happily in her arm.
The two women meet downstairs and settle in on the couch, Aegon getting transferred to Rhaenyra so she can feed him.
“I love you, Alicent. Always and forever.” Rhaenyra says to her wife with a smile as she leans her back against Alicent’s front, her shirt unbuttoned and the hungry little glutton latching onto her breast immediately, her head dropping into the spot between Alicent’s shoulder and neck. She raises her head to press a soft but lingering kiss to Alicent’s jawline, settling back down with a happy sigh and a small, soft smile as she too is finally at peace.
“Always and forever, my love. Always and forever.” Alicent whispers with a soft smile and brown eyes filled to the brim with love, her head titling to lay gently against Rhaenyra’s as her hand comes up to run oh so carefully across Aegon’s head as he feeds.
The two women settle down with their little boy, happy and content smiles on their faces as they are ready to face anything as long as they have each other. But one thing that both women were right about: Aegon is certainly going to have his fun in terrorizing his two mothers as he gets older. They don’t mind though; they love their son with everything and would deal with everything times infinity as long as they have each other. Especially when they add to the family five more times.
