TW : death, after effects of death, and birth
It had been a full hour after the birth of Rheaella Targaryen and King Viserys has yet to let her go, even the nurse maids and maester had trouble trying to get the king to let go of the little white haired bundle of joy sleeping in the kings arm. After the birth of Rheaella and death of Rhea Royce the Royal family moved to the nursery that had been prepared for the babe moons ago when they first learned of their liege lady's pregnancy. The nursemaids had been sent away by the king so that he and the queen may get time with the babe before they departed back to King's Landing.
Alicent looked upon the babe in Viserys arms, the babe looked like her own two Targaryen children, except for her eyes, they were brown like the now dead Rhea Royce. Alicent knows that the child is not her own and that all brown eyes look the same, but when Alicent looked into the eyes of Rheaella she saw her own eyes.
Viserys has yet to look up from the child when he finally spoke, "You are the most precious thing that I have ever held. You my little dragon are a treasure. " Viserys rocked her softly, "Alicent, I know she is not our child but she somehow has your eyes. Would you like to hold her?" Alicent simply nodded her head and took the child.
"She is so calm. I believe that neither Aegon or Helena were ever this calm." Viserys hummed in agreement, holding a finger over the babe as little Rheaella took a hold of it. "You are right my King, she is a treasure, and it is such a sad little thing that she will be raised here, all alone, except for her cousin of course. A treasure like her should be taken care of and be with others near her own age." Alicent said almost without a thought as if the little babe that she hold in her hands simply made her speak a truth Alicent herself did not know she felt.
"Your right Alicent," Viserys took Rheaella from Alicent and simply smiled at her, "this little dragon here needs to be surrounded by her own kind. We will take her to King's Landing with us and with your permission I would like to raise her as our own." Alicent looked bewildered as what the king just said, the king, her husband asked her if it was alright to take in a child that was not her own to raise. This child could give her and her own children the power they need to put Aegon on the throne.
"It would be my honor to raise her as my own, as our own." Alicent rocks Rheaella in her arms softy as the baby drifts off to sleep, "My king, though you are the king, little Rheaella's caregiver is in fact Ser Gerold, you do have to ask permission." Viserys hums in agreement and walks out of the nursery.
Alicent simply looks down at the babe fully enamored with what the kind calls his treasure. Viserys soon walks back in with a grin on his face. "Ser Gerold stated that as long as we teach her the proper way to rule and that we keep Daemon far away from her, as he said 'I would prefer Daemon to never even know that Rheaella is his child.' which I whole heartily agreed to. Now we have to get back to King's Landing very soon, Rhaenyra's wedding is in a fortnight and we still have to stop at Dragonstone to get an egg for my little Treasure a dragon egg." Alicent nodded her head and began telling the nursing maids to pack their belongs for a trip.
Once the king and his newly formed family arrived at Dragonstone there were three eggs that could be chosen for the King's treasure.
Placing a hand on the small of Alicent's back Viserys said "I would like you to choose an egg for out new daughter." Alicent still shocked hands Rheaella to Viserys and goes towards the eggs. Alicent chooses the green one. It is still unknown to what the name of the dragon shall be, both Viserys and Alicent had decided to let Rheaella choose a name when she gets older.
