The Son Becomes A Father

Blood of the Dragon[on Hold]

Red Keep

9 months later

Rhaenyra was walking with Laena in the Red Keep. For the last 9 months, the two have bonded as sisters. They both had one thing in common; loving Rhaegon, and Rhaegon was happy that the pair got along and respected each other. Rhaenyra would sleep in their bed since Rhaegon asked for a bigger bed to be made in his room.

"Where's Rhaegon?" Rhaenyra asked as she massaged her swollen belly.

"I think he was training with Ser Harwin and Laenor." Laena said. 'You're due any day now, and you should not strain yourself." The princess consort said, looking at Rhaenyras' swollen belly.

Rhaenyra chuckled. "Rhaegon spent the night speaking to the babe as if it were here already."

Laena laughed. "Yes, after his council meeting, he came to me to ask if I could rush my due date as well." Laena massaged her 7 month swollen belly. Their laughter was interrupted by Queen Alicent.

"Princess. My lady." Alicent greeted. The Queen was 5 months pregnant.

"Your grace." Rhaenyra greeted.

"Your grace." Laena greeted.

"You should be in bed, Rhaenyra." Alicent said.

"I've told her that many times, your grace, but it seems as if I'm talking to the walls." Laena lightly chuckled.

"Yes, well. Some days are easier than most." Rhaenyra said.

"I'm sure Ser Laenor is overjoyed by the prospect of becoming a father." Alicent stated.

"He's already chosen a name for the babe." Laena said.

"Hm. Such is a father's right." Alicent awkwardly said.

"What of you, your grace? Are we well?" Rhaenyra asked, breaking the awkwardness.

"Yes, the king cannot wait for his next child." Alicent said. "Have either of you seen Rhaegon?"

"I'm right here." Rhaegon announced. He then walked to the three pregnant women. "You should be in bed, sister."

"Yes, well, we were looking for you." Rhaenyra said.

"Of course. Well, since we're all here, I was thinking that perhaps we could all dine together tonight. To celebrate the princess Rhaenyras babe." Rhaegon happily offered. "I've already spoken to Ser Laenor, and he's delighted by the idea."

"That is a good idea, husband." Laena said.

"Well, if we're all in agreement, I'll go talk to my father, and perhaps I'll see you all after the small council meeting." Rhaegon then walked to his father's chambers. Alicent watched as Rhaegon walked off, and both Laena and Rhaenyra noticed it.

Small council chambers

"What news from the Stepstones?" Rhaegon asked the master of ships.

"The fortifications have been built, my prince. We have men from the houses Celtigar and Bar Emmon standing guard." Tyland said.

"Good." Rhaegon said. "One problem has been solved. Now, we only have to bring Dorne into the fold."

"If there's anyone who can do it, it's you, my son." Viserys praised Rhaegon.

"It won't be easy. Perhaps I'll sail there myself to show them we mean no disrespect." Rhaegon said.

"With respect, my prince." Lyonel spoke up. "That would not be wise."

"It would be fun. I haven't been to Dorne in years. Perhaps I'll take Harwin with me." Rhaegon said. "After all, we will go under peace."

"My only concern is that the Dornish are untrustworthy, my prince." Lyonel stated.

"Agreed, but that is why I'll sail, instead of flying." Rhaegon said. "What say you, father?"

"I want you to be safe, my son. Can we not send an emissary?" Viserys asked.

"I suppose so, but would we not send a better message by sending the crown prince?" Rhaegon asked.

"Perhaps, but let us first send an emissary and see how that goes." Viserys said.

"Very well." Rhaegon agreed.

"Perhaps we should -" Lyonel was interrupted by the royal steward entering the small council chambers.

"Apologies for my intrusion, your grace. Princess Rhaenyra has gone into labor." The royal steward said.

Without hesitation, Rhaegon rose from his chair and rushed to the birthing chambers.

Birthing chambers

"Huaahhh!" Rhaenyra yelled as she felt a contraction hit her.

"Breathe, Rhaenyra." Laena encouraged her.

"It hurts so much! Rhaenyra yelled. Where's Rhaegon?" She asked as she felt another contraction hit her. "Ohhh. Haaahh!"

"He's coming, I promise. He wouldn't miss this for anything." Laena said.

Just then, Rhaegon burst into the birthing chambers. "Rhae?"

"You're here." Rhaenyra reached out for Rhaegon.

"I'm here." Rhaegon took her hand and kissed it. "Maester?"

"The babe has turned, my prince. The princess needs to push." Maester Gerardys said.

"Rhae. The babe is almost here. You can do this. You can bring it to us." Rhaegon whispered.

Rhaenyra was pushing for hours and was exhausted. "Rhaegon...Rhaegon, I can't...I'm not... I'm not strong enough."

Rhaegon leaned closer and whispered. "Rhae, look at me. You're strong. You're stronger than you know. You have never failed me, and you won't fail our child." Rhaenyra nodded and started pushing again.

"Tssshaaah! Guahhh!" Rhaenyra screamed and a few minutes later felt something slip out of her. A loud cry filled the room

"A boy, princess." The midwife said after cleaning the babe. "Congratulations."

"Let me hold him." Rhaenyra commanded.

"I'll get Ser Laenor." Another midwife said.

Rhaenyra was fawning over her son. She then looked at Rhaegon. "Would you like to hold him?" Rhaegon smiled.

"Yes." He said. Rhaenyra handed the babe to her brother. Rhaegon then looked at maester Gerardys, and the maester nodded. He then led the midwife out of the room till it was just him, Laena, and Rhaenyra. "Look at you. Already a powerful grip." The babe gripped Rhaegons finger with his tiny hands. Rhaegon then started tearing up, knowing that he couldn't be the father that he wanted to be to his son.

"He has your eyes." Rhaenyra said.

"I don't see it." Rhaegon said.

"Because you don't see things the way that we do." Laena said.

Rhaegon looked at his son. "You will be different. Sometimes you'll feel like an outcast, but you'll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father becomes the son." Rhaegon shed a few tears. The joy of being a father was nothing that he expected, but he loved it.

"What will his name be?" Rhaenyra asked.

Rhaegon looked at the babe and smiled. "Jacaerys."

5 years later

"That's mine. Give it back!" A 5 year old Jacaerys said.

"I thought I told you all to stop fighting." Rhaegon said.

"Im sorry, brother." An 8 year old Aegon said. He then gave Jacaerys his toy back.

Rhaegon looked at the toy. "Did you carve this yourself?"

"Yes, uncle. I took one of your blades without asking. I'm sorry." Jacaerys apologized. He then handed the blade back to Rhaegon.

"Let me see the toy." Rhaegon said, and Jace gave it to Rhaegon. Rhaegon knew that it could use some work. "Fine craftsmanship for a child. Your grandsire would be proud."

"Thank you, uncle." Jace smiled.

Rhaegon then handed the toy to Jace. "Here." He handed the blade to him as well. "Don't tell your mother and only use it if you are whittling."

"Thank you, uncle." Jace happily took the sheathed blade.

"Remember to share with Aegon and Aegon, remember to ask first." Rhaegon sternly said, and both boys nodded. "Now run along, and find Aemond to play with you as well."

Rhaegon walked to the godswood and saw his daughters play. In the last five years, Rhaegon had given Laena 2 girls, and Rhaenyra had 2 boys and 1 girl. He was happy. The Stepstones were under control, and the Dornish were leaning more towards his peace terms.

"I love seeing you this way. Happy." Rhaenyra walked to Rhaegon.

"Yes, well, I can't help if I'm happy." Rhaegon said. "How's Laena?"

"Pregnant. I'm sure you can try to imagine how she feels." Rhaenyra chuckled.

"Luke?" Rhaegon inquired.

"He's asleep for now." Rhaenyra said. Rhaenyra looked at the girls chasing each other around the godswood. "We should have more."

"I'm ready." Rhaegon smirked.

"I wish I could touch you." Rhaenyra said.

"You'll have to wait till tonight." Rhaegon said.

"I know it will be worth the wait." Rhaenyra bit her lip.

Queen Alicent Chambers

Alicent watched from her room window how Rhaegon was walking with Laena and Rhaenyra.

"Do you think the king is blind or just an idiot?" Gwayne bitterly asked his sister.

"Mind your tongue. He's still the king." Alicent reminded him.

"Apologies, sister, but you must see how they slander their house." Gwayne said.

"I do, but if the king wishes to do nothing, then we will do nothing." Alicent said. "Besides, what could be done?"

"Perhaps if something befalls poor prince Rhaegon, Aegon can be named heir." Gwayne suggested.

"No. Do not speak of it again." Alicent comanded.

"So defensive, sister. Is it perhaps because you love him?" Gwayne arrogantly asked.

"No, because the king would remove your tongue for this, and there would be nothing I can do to stop him." Alicent reminded him.

"Very well, sister. Father sends his love." Gwayne then left the Queen's chambers.

Training yard

"I see the boys are getting along well." Rhaegon said. He watched Jace, Aegon, and Aemond.

"Indeed." Laena agreed.

"I think we should all go to Dragonstone." Rhaegon said.

"Why?" Rhaenyra asked.

"I've been thinking about Rhaena not having a dragon for a while, and perhaps it is time for me to intervene." Rhaegon said. Both Rhaenyra and Laena stopped walking. "Something wrong?" The crown prince asked.

"Rhaegon, are you well?" Laena asked with concern.

"I'm better than ever." Rhaegon said. "Why do you ask?"

"It's just...for the last 5 years you've been different. Happy." Rhaenyra pointed out.

"I am happy." Rhaegon plainly said. "I don't know how to explain it, but when Jace was born, I felt something that father told me."

"What did he say?" Laena asked.

"He told me that once you have your own child, everything in the world changes." Rhaegon looked at Jace, stabbing the straw dummy. "I knew then that I wanted to protect them all, and I would rip the world apart should anyone harm them." Laena and Rhaenyra smiled at Rhaegon.

"You make it impossible not to love you." Rhaenyra said, and Laena nodded in agreement.

"Look, it's Rhaegon." Aemond said.

"I see him." Aegon grumbled.

"I heard that he has dragons blood in his veins and speaks to dragons." Jace said.

"I hear that he singlehandedly defeated the rest of the Triarchy before the fortifications were built." Aemond said.

"He's just a man." Aegon spat. At 8 years old, he could already see how his father favored Rhaegon over him.

"A man that's better than you.: Jace chuckled. It looked as if Aegon was about to charge at Jace, but he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Aegon looked up and saw Ser Criston. "Perhaps less talking and more training." The boys continued their training. 'Don't worry, Aegon, your time will come. Ser Criston thought,'

Rhaenyras room

"Why are we going to Dragonstone, mother? A 4 year old girl asked.

"Because your uncle has a surprise for Rhaena, Visenya." Rhaenyra told her daughter. "What is it?"

"Will grandsire come with us?" Visenya asked.

"Your gransire is ill, but we can ask him." Rhaenyra suggested.

Visenya smiled. "I shall go ask him right away."

"Wait. Come here." Rhaenyra said. Visenya walked to her mother, and Rhaenyra hugged the little girl tightly. She was thinking of what Rhaegon said and how happy he was. "I love you, my daughter."

"I love you as well, Mother." Visenya said. Visenya then left her mother's room.

Rhaegon room

Rhaegon was surrounded by a thick mist. He looked a round and could barely see anything. Something in the distance caught his eye. It came closer and closer, and Rhaegon saw his wife and sister, but something wasn't right. They looked like mangled corpses and had blue eyes.

"You failed us." Laena said.

"No. No, I didn't. I need more time." Rhaegon said.

"You failed us all." Rhaenyra said.

"No, please. I need more time." Rhaegon begged.

"Time is something you don't have." A voice said, and the mist cleared up. Rhaegon saw his family. All of them were corpses with blue eyes. They all pointed behind Rhaegon, and when the crown prince turned, he saw the ice man seated on the Iron Throne. The man rose up from the throne and lifted his arms. Suddenly, Rhaegon saw undead dragons flying and spewing their flames. Rhaegon looked around him and saw King's Landing decimated, and in the distance, everything burned.

"You killed us all!" The undead Viserys said and stabbed Rhaegon. Then Rhaenyra stabbed Rhaegon as well, then Laena, and soon after, his entire family stabbed him repeatedly.

Rhaegon shot up from his bed. He looked around and saw that he was in his room. He then looked to his left and saw Rhaenyra and Laena asleep. Rhaegon got out of bed and put on his robe. He then looked out of the window.

"What the fuck is going on?" He asked.

Dragonstone

2 days later

"I don't think father cares for me." Rhaena said.

"Why would you think that?" The 4 month pregnant Laena asked.

"He always goes on flights with Baela and my cousins." Laena chuckled. "What's so funny?"

"Rhaena. Do you even know your father? He loves you and Baela so much. He would burn the realm for you." Laena said.

"Rhaena." Rhaegon called his daughter. "Come."

"It's alright. Go on." Laena encouraged and Rhaena followed her father.

Father and daughter walked holding hands to the caves. Rhaegon didn't say anything and this worried Rhaena. She wondered if he heard what she said to her mother.

"Father, where we going?" Rhaena finally asked.

"Do you know why we're here on Dragonstone?" Rhaegon asked his daughter.

"No, father." Rhaena answered.

"When I was a boy, Slyrak didn't hatch until two days after king Jaehaerys died. Before then, I was obsessed with dragons. Obsessed to the point where I would try to ride on Caraxes without Daemon. I had even tried to find Vhagar after my grandsire, Baelon died." Rhaegon said. "I don't want that for you. I don't want your jealousy or obsession to drive you mad." Rhaena then heard a snarl. Within a few seconds the ground started rumbling. "Come." Rhaegon encouraged.

"Father." Rhaena was trembling with fear.

"It's alright. As long as I'm alive, you won't be harmed." Rhaegon said. They walked more and eventually got deeper into the caves. Rhaegon looked around him and he saw four dragons surrounding them. Rhaegon then walked to the Bronze Fury. The man had a stare down with the dragon, and Rhaena feared for her father's life. To Rhaenas surprise, Vermithor left, as did Silverwing and Grey Ghost. Rhaegon looked to his left and saw the Sheepstealer. The crown prince smirked. "Come daughter. We've found your dragon."

"Father this is a wild one." Rhaena pointed out.

"Yes, he is. As are you, Rhaena. You're wild, and fierce. Traits you and Baela inherited from your mother and I." Rhaegon smirked. "Don't be afraid, Rhaena. You're a dragon, be a dragon."

Rhaena nodded and stepped forward. "Be calm. Be calm. Serve." The Sheepstealer roared and Rhaena looked at her father. He nodded at her. "Serve! Be calm and serve!" Rhaena shouted. She then saw the dragon bow his head. Rhaena walked forward and put her hand on his snout. She felt some resistance from the dragon. "I said serve!" She shouted and seconds later the dragon got low enough so that he could be ridden. Rhaegon smiled. He then had a saddle placed on the dragon and once everything was in place he looked at his daughter.

"It's time, my girl." Rhaegon smiled with pride. Rhaena climbed on the dragon and made sure that she was safely buckled. The Sheepstealer was tamed, but not completely. Rhaena tapped the wild dragon and he started crawling out of the Dragonmont. The Sheepstealer then took flight. Rhaegon climbed on Slyrak and flew off as well. He caught up with Rhaena.

Father and daughter flew for hours and Rhaegon loved seeing his daughter happy, especially now that she had a dragon. He loved all his children equally. He didn't have a favorite, although he knew that he needed a legitimate son as his heir to the throne.

That evening, the family dined together. Rhaenyra sat with her husband, Ser Laenor and their children while Rhaegon sat with Laena and their daughters.

"You should've seen me, I flew around Dragonstone seven times." Rhaena boasted.

"Well one day Moondancer will grow and she'll be stronger that a mere Sheepstealer." Baela said.

"You should be happy for your sister, Baela." Rhaegon said.

"I'm sorry, father." Baela apologized

"It's alright, Baela. Just remember that Rhaena would've had a harder road if her egg did not hatch." Laena said.

"Yes, mother." Baela said.

Laena held Rhaegons hand and the crown prince smiled at his wife and then looked at Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra blushed at him. Rhaegon knew that his actions had consequences, but in this moment he was happy.

"I'm not too late for supper, am I?" Rhaegon looked up and saw his uncle Daemon.

Rhaegon chuckled and rose from his seat. He then met Daemon and hugged him. "I though you weren't coming."

"I wasn't, but then I realized that Dragonstone is more durable than Pentos." Daemon said.

"I missed you, uncle." Rhaegon said.

"Of course you did." Daemon chuckled.

"My prince. It's good to see you again." Cerelle Lannister said.

"Ah. My lady. You look well." Rhaegon said and noticed Cerelle holding a little girl's hand and carrying a boy. "This must be Johanna and that must be Daeron."

"Yes, my prince. Johanna is 4 years old and Daeron just turned 2." Cerelle said.

"Quite the family you've built, uncle. Grandsire would be proud." Rhaegon said.

"Yes well, I chose to follow in your footsteps. Being a family man." Daemon smirked as he saw Rhaegons big family.

Rhaegon chuckled. "Indeed. Let us dine, and after the two of us can talk more. I'd like to hear of your time in Pentos."

The Targaryens dined together and Rhaegon felt sad. His family was here, but he wanted his father here as well.

Rhaegons chambers

After Rhaegon spoke to Daemon he decided that it was time to go to bed. Rhaegon had a bath drawn for him while Laena was asleep and once he was done he got out and walked to his mirror. He kept thinking about his dream. What were the undead people with blue eyes? Why were they in the cold? Rhaegon thought that he should visit Winterfell and ask Lord Stark if he knew anything about it, but he would only do that after Dorne joins the Seven Kingdoms.

Rhaegon stared at himself in the mirror. He was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even see Laena behind him. She was naked and wrapped her arms around him. She then started kissing his back.

"What's wrong, my love?" Laena asked.

"I'm just... it's nothing. My mind is just full of thoughts." Rhaegon said and turned to face her

"Perhaps we can make them calm." Laena said.

"We?" Rhaegon inquired. He then heard his door open and saw Rhaenyra enter. She immediately removed her robe and was naked before him and Laena. Laena tiled Rhaegons head and passionately kissed him. Rhaegon returned the kiss. He then felt Rhaenyra touch his body and both women started stroking his cock. Rhaegon then turned to kiss Rhaenyra.

"I love you both." Rhaegon said.

"I love you too." Rhaenyra and Laena said at the same time.

The two women then led Rhaegon to bed and Laena climbed on top of her husband. She positioned her wet pussy on his cock.

"Are you sure?" Rhaegon asked. He didn't want to hurt Laena or their baby.

"I'm sure." Laena said as she slid down his shaft. "Ohhh! Yes!" She then started riding her husband.

"Don't forget about me." Rhaenyra said. She then climbed on Rhaegons face and had him eat her pussy. "Fuck! You're so good!" Rhaenyra felt Rhaegons tongue go in and out of her pussy. "Fuck! Yes, Rhaegon! Don't stop!"

"Please, don't stop!: Laena felt Rhaegon thrusting faster and harder into her pussy.

"Arghh yes!" Laena and Rhaenyra had an orgasm at the same time.

"It's my...my turn." Rhaenyra breathlessly stated as she got off Rhaegons face.

"Kiss me first." Laena said and without hesitation, Rhaenyra kissed Laena. The 4 month pregnant woman carefully got off Rhaegon, and the crown prince laid Rhaenyra on her back. He then slapped her clitoris with his cock three times and this made Rhaenyras legs shake. He then pushed cock in her pussy and Rhaenyras eyes rolled back as she had an instant orgasm.

"Yes! Fuck me!" Rhaenyra screamed and Rhaegon thrusted harder and deeper in her. Laena got on top of the moaning Rhaenyras face a s started grinding her pussy on Rhaenyras tongue.

"Yes!" Laena started playing with her breasts. "Don't stop!" She begged. Laena then pulled Rhaegon on for a kiss and this went for a few hours. Rhaenyra and Laena had been given continuous orgasms from Rhaegon and he finally reached his limit.

"Inside me please, Rhaegon!" Rhaenyra begged. She didn't care if her children were seen as illegitimate. Rhaenyra knew that Rhaegon would protect them which is why she would have as many as she could. With one big thrust Rhaegon finished inside Rhaenyra and her entire body was shaking. Rhaegon finally pulled out and this made Laena smirk.

"Do you have some more for me?" Laena asked.

"Always." Rhaegon smirked. The one thing that Laena never doubted about Rhaegon was that he did love her. Perhaps not as much as Rhaenyra, but he loved her.

Laena took a pillow and positioned it under her pregnant belly. She then had a face in front of Rhaenyras pussy and her ass in front of Rhaegons cock. "I want to taste the two of you together." Before Rhaenyra could react, Laena started eating her pussy. Rhaegon smirked and pushed his cock inside of Laenas pussy. "Hmm. Yes! Don't hold back, Rhaegon!" She begged.

Rhaegon started thrusting harder and faster. Laena screamed and with each orgasm she had she sucked on Rhaenyras clitoris harder. Rhaenyra was trapped in pleasure as Laena didn't stop at all. Rhaegon had given Laena orgasm after orgasm, while Laena had made Rhaenyra almost pass out from the pleasure. Rhaegon finally finished inside his wife and the trio laid on the bed.

"That was...unexpected. From both of you." Rhaegon said.

"Well we've done it before." Rhaenyra pointed out.

"Yes well Rhaegon had a lot on his mind and I wanted to calm him down." Laena said. Both women had their heads on Rhaegon chest. "Is this the part where you tell us what's bothering you?"

"Not yet." Rhaegon said. "But I promise that I will."

"What of this?" Rhaenyra looked at Rhaegon scar on his chest. It was the same and that Craghas Drahar left when he killed Rhaegon. "You never told us about this."

Rhaegon sighed. He didn't really want to talk about the wars. "In the first war of the Stepstones I...the Crabfeeder ambushed me and my men and he killed all of them."

"How did you survive?" Laena asked and Rhaenyra started tearing up.

Rhaegon sighed. "I didn't." The crown prince said.
