AEMOND TARGARYEN

• Aemond is very strict. You often have to remind him that he doesn’t know more than the maesters.

• He isn’t particularly verbal with affection. Instead, he shows it through his actions. Your chair is always waiting, your bath is already prepared.

• He hates the idea of anyone touching your stomach except him. Not even your mother or Helaena.

• He takes it upon himself to personally oversee all of your meals.

• He doesn’t tell you, but he worries constantly about childbirth. Knowing your family history, he knows many women never survive it. He rarely sleeps well during the final weeks.

AEGON TARGARYEN

• Has absolutely no idea how pregnancy works or what to expect, but does his best to make you feel happy/comfortable. He uses humor to hide how scared he is.

• After a few goblets of wine he’ll snuggle up to you and rest his palm on your stomach and occasionally even talk to the baby.

• The first and only time in his life he is hesitant about being intimate with you. He’s worried he’ll hurt you and also feels a bit strange about it.

• The baby moving/kicking weirds him out but also fascinates/amazes him.

• No one actually notices, but as your labors approach, he drinks less.

JACAERYS VELARYON

• He is over the moon. He is so proud and wants to tell everyone straight away.

• Starts imagining what kind of parent he’ll be and quietly worries he won’t measure up to the examples he admired

• Over time his anxiety creeps in. He watches your every move and is immediately concerned. Asking, “are you alright? Does it hurt? Should I send for the maester?” You’re fine… but minutes later, he’s asking again.

• If it’s a girl? Forget it. He is absolutely ecstatic. Two perfect princesses. He wakes you up each morning with “how are my favorite ladies doing?”

• Deep down he worries that the child will suffer the same way he did as a child. Made to feel less than, their worthiness questioned.

CREGAN STARK

• He’s always wanted a large family, a bunch of his own little pups. The second he finds out you’re pregnant he is filled with pride.

• He has a massive breeding kink, so he’s even more handsy with you once you’re carrying his child, his praise during sex is on another level.

• He builds the baby’s cradle himself. And carves little wooden wolves, horses, and bears during the evenings. He brushes it off as “just something to pass the time.”

• if you mention craving something once, it’s yours. Whether it’s delivered to your chambers or waiting for you at dinner.

• He’s by your side the entire labor, whether the masters want it or not.

DAEMON TARGARYEN

• Loves taking you flying early in the pregnancy, but becomes increasingly reluctant as your belly grows.

• Becomes more attentive than usual, offering to rub your shoulders/back/feet.

• He’s unexpectedly patient with your changing moods. If you’re angry, he lets you be angry. If you’re afraid, he doesn’t dismiss it.

• Sings/Speaks in High Valaryian every night until you fall asleep, hoping the baby hears his voice.

Who else dares rise against us in our house?
