“That it may…We can dye the hair if it turns to be Rhaegars hair color but luckily we know that babes of that linage don’t always have the father’s traits, Rhaegars daughter looked more Dornish than Targaryen. The babe has the eyes of a Stark and the darkness in the few wisps, I doubt they’d turn a silver blonde anytime soon.” Though he knew Cat was more than correct on her knowledge of babes but surely he also had to be right?

“Well…I mean…both our families have fertile seed. I don’t see why not. It would seem a bit odd but what am I to do? Give him to Ned and say it had been Ashara Daynes? Ruin a dead womans reputation as my sisters has been tarnished, saying she had been raped by Rhaegar when she looked only of love?” He turned sour in his tone, anger coming back towards the end. “He would try and fail. Cat I don’t know what to do. Either way someone ends up hurt. I’m just trying to find the best solution and that’s why I came to you, why I trusted you with this because unlike me you don’t rush into things headfirst. You don’t make stupid decisions that almost end in your death!”

The more he spoke the angrier he got and the louder he became, waking the boy in his arms and he immediately went to hush and calm it down and he glanced at the white tree. “Gods help me..”

He got closer to Cat as she said the name Jon. “I had been angling for a Targaryen name, another Aegon even but Lyanna had wanted the name Jon”  The way he spoke was as if he had seen a ghost and he looked beyond Cat, staring at nothing. “It almost lines up too perfectly…the age, birthes and deaths…No my child died. It had to have died.” He was amendment on this now, there was no way Eddard’s bastard had been his son and raised in the North. Though he was sure if it had been that he had been raised in a good home, after all Lyanna spoke well of her brother Eddard and if Robb was anything to go off of, Jon turned out well.

He turned his eyes back to the older woman and he tried to shake the weird feeling he was getting. “Whent curse?” He asked, shaking thoughts from his head before he felt any sicker than he already did. “That’s fortunate that you haven’t had the same problems.”

He didn’t speak word on her comment of taking maidenheads, figuring it best not to comment on such things. “But he won’t. How would he hear of it if it is just you and I who know and well, Eddard but he won’t tell a soul.” Brandon sighed as he glanced down at the child.

“If we had only been married before I had went away…this wouldn’t be an issue, he’d be the second son and no issue…If he’s to be a Snow as it now seems the only option…Not to dishonor you or our first born son I want your word you will treat him as one of our own. He’s not to be hated or looked down upon even if he has to hold the name Snow. He could always be a Stark and have it be so our son is to inherit. Sons have been passed over before in favor of others. It wouldn’t be out of place.” Brandon mentioned, trying to best think on how to make this all work.

“Would the Honorable Eddard Stark tell you if she had been with my child? “ He asked her wondering if she truly believed that he would have not lied to protect something. Rhaegar thought on her words for a moment longer and he had a wild look in his eyes and he spoke with urgency. “Lady Stark…When exactly did Eddard come with his bastard from the Tower? Five months yes but…Lyannna was-My wife was close to birthing before I left for the trident, any moment she could have had the child.” His thoughts jumbled together for a moment as he thought too many impossible thoughts at once and none of them seemed to make sense. No, Robert and Tywin had seen to his lines death. There was no way Lyanna and his child was alive.

“And my mother bore only three alive for more than a year and died giving birth to the tenth, Viserys had been sickly as a babe, ten children and no thanks to my father, my mother was never in the best physical health. Elia couldn’t handle a third, it would have killed her. Sometimes more than three or four is too many for the body. Can you honestly tell me you think you would carry a sixth or a seventh child to term and in good health, either of you if you were to fall with child again?” He asked “Hypothetically of course.”

He gave a small chuckle as she spoke of Robbs engagement. “And how long will that last? Lyanna was to marry Robert and I fancied her and she fancied me. Robb will honor this marriage? He will have her bare his children and not this Jeyne? Beauty sometimes will take over a mans mind more than honor and an engagement. How many bastards have been born outside a marriage? Robb is a man like any other. A great warrior and a strong tactiion but I prey he doesn’t fall into the trap so many of us men fall to. “

When she came back in the room, he stared at her, confusion marred his face and it continued to be there as she got closer to the bed and his mouth dropped open as she spoke those four words he never expected to hear from her and Viserys was quiet for some time. “You…But I thought- You couldn’t…have…and..” He was going to be a father. Viserys and Daenerys. Parents. Parents of a new rule soon, if the Gods were good and kept blessing them. “The Gods are good, sister. We will take control of the Seven Kingdoms and raise our children, they will be the Prince or Princess of Dragonstone…” Viserys spoke proudly, already envisioning a future for them and their child one where everything went according to plan.

“I am overjoyed. Daenerys. This child will want for nothing. They will not have to flee their home, they will not live as we did growing up”  He crawled closer, his hand pressed against her belly and waited to see if there would be a reaction but he felt nothing but it didn’t lessen his joy. “Do not fret, this child…If you are to be Aegon than this is Aenys or Maegor and let us hope that they are a good mix of both. Strong and kind. Cruel only when needed and willing to make peace when needed.” He rose to his knees, holding her tight and kissed her lips. “Are you…you excited? Are you pleased dear sister? House Targaryen has a new heir. A new start for our house, for us.”

A low growl emanated from his throat as she spoke about lies and he had not had a baby in his arms she would know his true wild nature. He knew she would think ill of him and think this a child of another woman, how crazy it would sound for this to be his sisters babe. “I’m not lying Catelyn. This is my sisters babe. Hafl wolf and half dragon. When she spoke of the child, of Rhaegar love was clear on her face. I don’t believe this may have been a true bastard. It was clear Rhaegar wanted a third child, to fufil that vision of his…Elia couldn’t have another, it was spread like wild-” He stopped short before he could finish, having flashbacks to the Mad King and knowing from Jaime Lannister what he had wanted to do to Kings Landing…

“What was it called again? Prince that was promised? I know one of the lines calls for a song of ice and fire…Rhaegar was noble enough to not have a bastard unlike his father and ancestors. Nobler than Robert. But I’m still having trouble knowing for certain if this child if indeed a bastard or not.” Brandon shook his head as the babe fell asleep finally in his arms and he still stayed looking at Cat. “You don’t think Eddard would lie if he was in my position? Least I am telling you. Eddard is too noble to even do that if he was married and in my position. He’d take the blame and call it his bastard to your face. Bejen, I don’t know what he would even do…” Brandon was grateful that it was he that had found Lyanna and found the babe and he cared not for Robert. “You know I do not care what Robert thinks or believes. This child will be Stark if I have any say. Least a Snow…But he will be cared for and loved and treated as any trueborn son.”

@xladywinterx

“Yes. Lyanna was. I don’t know what happened to the babe, from what I hear your husband was the last one to see her alive…Did he tell you anything?” He frowned as he realized if she was asking than she didn’t know anything at all, no more than he did. “Sorry, I just…I never got to know if she had a son or a daughter. She was close to giving birth when I had to leave for the trident.” Rhaegar sighed “Five seems like a lot. Than again Waldar Frey has an immense population all by himself.” The Targaryen gave a laugh, feeling more at ease around her.

“Jeyne, is she from a good house at least? Though politically there are better options…Waldar Frey would not be one of them. He’s been trying to weasel his way into any and all Great Houses, no doubt he’s still at it now.” Rhaegar cautioned. His father hadn’t trusted Waldar Frey and he himself didn’t trust Waldar not one bit.

“Forgive me Lady Catelyn, I shouldn’t be giving you counsel on these matters. Or to persuade you at all over your son in his dealings.”

“Of course I’ll stay.” He told her glad she would wear the armor he’d had commissioned for her and nodded his head “I’ll send for food and in the meantime, I’ll help you to the bath” He offered, squeezing her hand gently before rolling out of the bed to go start the bath process and once the hot water was put in he went back to where Daenerys was and helped her to the bathe, making sure she could get in and out just fine. His nimble fingers rolling down her back and careful of her wound as he grabbed a towel and began to help bathe her as he would when they were children but this time after the attentive cleaning he grazed over her breasts in a not so child-like way, his smile hidden behind her as he spoke in an apologetic tone “Sorry” But, Viserys wasn’t all that sorry, yet he also kept in mind she was not in any physical capacity to do anything of the sort they had done the night before. “How would you like your hair?” He asked as he started to wash her hair and clean it from all the dirt and grime “Simple and easy of more bundled?”

Once she was clean and fed, Viserys stayed by her side until she was well, sitting in on more meetings and had taken given his opinion much more  becoming more outspoken while telling Dany of the on goings and listening to her words and going from there to help advise his own words though he still was more aggressive in his negotiations than Dany.

But after a few weeks, Dany had gone back to being checked out to be in full health once more and she resumed her duties and Viserys took a small step back and he attempted to be more of a lover to his sister, trying his best not to push her too far as she wasn’t the same girl back in Pentos and he hadn’t been the same either.  Viserys had come to her bedroom late in the night, sleeping by her side as she hadn’t been feeling too up for anything and he woke with a start in the early morning by the sound of retching into a chamber pot and Viserys rolled over quickly, looking for who was making that sound. He thought back to the night before and the dinner hadn’t made himself or anyone else sick so why her?  “Dany?” He asked as he started to get out of the bed to go to his sister. “Are you okay? Obviously your not if you’re throwing up but still….”
