-Location: Pentos, Essos-
-Date: Late 116 AC-
-POV: Rhaegar Targaryen
Currently I'am in pentos getting some clothes for the children. It's been 4 months since their birth and they grow with each day.
Who knows being a father was such fun. This unconditional love I have my children is something that is hard to explain. When they came into this world, I instantly felt the connection.
My beautiful little girls.
I bought them a lot of clothes. I got some for Laena, Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, and mother. I know it's a lot, but I have a horse pulling all of the clothes in a cart.
Along with some former slaves from Astapor. Magister Saelora hired them, and told them to help me with whatever I needed.
I'm greatful but it's a bit much. But I don't want to refuse her kindness so I just felt with it.
Haedes is flying above the city, she felt through our connection that I was leaving without her, so she took it upon herself to come with me.
She's such a drama queen.
As I continued to walk I could see a child no older than three and ten years of age. He was walking behind a rich looking man, it seems like he's trying to pick his pocket.
The boy had on a cloak with holes in it. The hood was on his head so his appearance was hidden.
Before the boy could take the man's money, I appeared behind the boy and grabbed his hand.
He looked up at me with his bright red eyes. The hood fell, and a full head of crimson red hair was on display.
'This child? He's special.' I thought.
"Boy, if you want money, you should work." I said in common tongue.
He looked at me with a confused expression. I smiled and kneeled down. The boy looked at me but he wasn't scared.
He seemed intrigued.
"Skorkydoso bē ao māzigon rūsīr issa. (How about you come with me)." I said in High Valyrian.
The boy seemed to understand and nodded his head. Rhaegar smiled and picked the child up and sat him inside of the cart.
"It's time to go home." I said as i got onto my horse.
-Location: Velvet Hills, Pentos-
I made it back home and got the servants to take the clothes to the main bedroom. I took the child to the bath and asked the servants to bathe him.
I told him that he'll be fine and that i will help him later. I went to Laena and seen that she was breastfeeding the twins.
Baela and Rhaena are both hungry little dragons. Speaking of dragons, there were two little ones lying next to Laena.
These two little troubled makers are Moondancer and Morning. Two beautiful dragons that are bonded to my daughters.
"Hello my dear, I've returned." I said as I kissed her.
"Good because this one misses her father." Said Laena as she handed me Baela.
I took my baby girl and played with her for a bit. She's able to laugh and make this noises that are so cute.
I love being a father.
"So I have something to tell you." I said.
"What did you do?" Questioned Laena while giving me a look.
"Well, I kinda brought a child home." I said as her expression changed.
"Rhaegar, you better not imply what i think you're implying." Said Laena.
"Oh gods no. While I was shopping for you and the girls today. I ran into a child. He had this red hair and red eyes. So I took him off of the streets." I said as I seen her face change back to normal.
"So what are you gonna do for him?" Asked Laena.
"I'll raise him to be Baela and Rhaena's sworn shield. He will be loyal to house Targaryen. And if he ever weds and has children, his children will be loyal to us and so forth." I said.
After seeing him I came up with this idea while on the way home. I will make house that is sworn to house Targaryen only.
With a lot of shit kicking off we need some type of support. With this and the generations to come, they will be a good asset for house Targaryen.
Now all that's left is to come up with a name. What shall it be?
"Are you sure this is what you want for the boy? I don't mind, but the others in Westeros. They may object, especially Otto." Said Laena.
"Fuck Otto and the Hightowers. They have messed with my family for far too long. After I become king they will think twice for before messing with house Targaryen." I said.
As I rambled on Baela began to wake up.
"Oops, sorry my child. I must of woke you up." I said as I carried the child while walking around the room.
I look at Rhaena who seems to be smiling at me. Does she think this is funny? I know these two will be a handful.
"Well my lovely wife. It's time to go home." I said as I sat next to her.
"I've enjoyed my stay here, but I do miss mother and Laenor. Father too." Said Laena, begrudgingly.
When me and her went back to Driftmark for Rhaenyra, who is currently 7 months pregnant by the way. We witnessed Laenor confront Corlys about his bastard brothers.
Addam and Alyn of Hull.
Laenor is known to be the reserved and quiet type. But that day he was completely pissed off. He scolded his father about not taking care of his brothers.
Something i didn't know Laenor knew about. But apparently he went to go see them privately. This caught Corlys off guard.
Right now, both Alyn and Addam are babes. Addam is two name days, and Alyn in one. Their mother, Marilda Of Hull was given money from Laenor to take care of his brothers.
But it didn't stop Laenor from being pissed at his father. He was pissed that he stepped out on his mother.
'Man that was a crazy day.' I thought.
"Well everything is packed and ready to be shipped. We'll leave tomorrow. It's takes four days to get to Kings landing from here, but on Dragon back it's two. We'll obviously sail there while Vhagar and Haedes follow us." I said.
"Let's go eat, I know you're starving." I said.
"Yes, i'am famished." Said Laena.
-Next Day-
It's early morning and the family is ready to leave. The babes are sleeping, but the bumping from the carriage may wake them.
The boy who I named Igris Brightfyre, is bathed and dressed. Heck I even made a house Sigil for him. Since his future family will be loyal to house Targaryen.
(Image)
The Sigil isn't my best work, but I like it. So we'll keep it.

We boarded the carriage and went to the port of Pentos, where our ship is waiting for us.
It's time to go back to the drama.
-4 days later-
-POV: Alicent Hightower-
Prince Rhaegar will make his return today. Honestly I'am not ready to face him. Especially after all the things that has happened.
My son, Aegon misses his brother. Rhaegar is good to him, and for that I'am grateful. I don't want my children to grow up hating their brother. Rhaegar is a good person, but father doesn't see that.
Rhaegar is the only man in this realm that I can truly feel comfortable around. Even though he never liked me.
When he came back a few moons ago, he visited me and my children. Helaena took a liking to him, he was one of the only people that can calm her.
Aemond was like a pup following its father around. He was drawn to Rhaegar. Gods I wished that Rhaegar was their father.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
A kings guard walked inside and bowed.
"My queen, the Princes ship has reached Blackwater Bay. The king and the rest of the royal family are meeting him at the port. The kind requests your presence." Said the kings guard.
"I will come, let me get Daeron ready." I said.
This is my other child, Daeron Targaryen. He was born a few months ago. Around the same time as Rhaegar's girls. I wish to betroth them to Aemond and Daron.
Aegon and Helaena will marry in the future. So Daeron and Aemond need to secure themselves wives.
I will need to speak with Rhaegar and Laena about this.
-POV: End-
On the docks of Kings Landing. The king and Queen waited for Prince Rhaegar to dock. King Viserys and Queen Aemma were excited. They would be seeing their grandchildren for the very first time.
Also there was Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys. Ser Laenor and Princess Rhaenyra were also waiting.
Rhaenyra was in the late stages of her pregnancy. She was expecting anytime soon.
Alicent made it in time with Daeron in her arms. As soon as she made it near Viserys, Rhaegar and his wife Laena got off of the ship.
Rhaegar had one child in hand, while Laena had the other. Following them both was a boy with red hair.
Rhaegar walked towards his parents and in-laws. Rhaegar could see his mother looking at the boy behind him.
When Rhaegar got near he stopped and looked at his father.
"I'm home father, mother, sister." Said Rhaegar.
"Welcome home my son. It seems like we have some more children in the family. This one must be Baela." Said Viserys as he looked at the child in Rhaegar's arms.
Baela started to cry, but Rhaegar calmed her down. Viserys just laughed it off. Aemma walked up to Rhaegar and took Baela from him.
"Let's go to the red keep. I've prepared dinner for us." Said Viserys.
Before they could move, Rhaegar felt something attached to his leg. He looked down and see big purple eyes looking up at him.
"Aegon, did you miss your brother?" Asked Rhaegar as he picked up the child.
Alicent flinched a little at the sight of Rhaegar tossing Aegon into the air. Rhaegar seen this and smiled at her.
Aemond and Helaena watched their brother from their mother's side. Rhaegar put down Aegon and went up to his siblings.
A kneeled down and looked at them bother.
Both Aemond and Helaena looked at their brother with wide eyes. Helaena walked up to Rhaegar and hugged him. He was surprised but a welcomed one.
He picked Helaena up and began walking.
"Well everyone? Let's go home." Said Rhaegar.
