@snowxstormworld Jonerys Winter Wonderland 2023: All I Want for Christmas is You

Summary: T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring… besides two parents very excited for some time alone with each other.

Dany has a secret she is trying to keep until Christmas Day. Jon gets into the Christmas spirit late in the evening, but they both forget one very important thing before the morning.

Daenerys POV

She's finally here, after nine long and difficult months, she's finally arrived. After five years of being told she'd never bear a living child of her own making, she's had six. The birthing room is quiet, the maids have left the Empress alone with her newest princess. Jon is filing the birth with the council, and the others are no doubt gathered in the nursery waiting to be allowed to see her. The door opens again, Dany looks up from her baby girl's silver eyes, seeing her husband entering. ''My love, come, let me kiss you.'' Jon smirks, and comes to sit beside her legs, he gently leans over to kiss her, eleven years and the buzz never goes away. ''How do you feel, darling?''

Daenerys smiles, tired but so blissfully happy. ''Tired, sore. But, I'll be fine, I've done this six times now.''

Jon laughs, gently stroking his newest daughter's fuzzy brown hair, finally a Stark princess. ''She's beautiful, isn't she? Our Lyanna.'' Daenerys hums, and nods. ''Well, we've not failed yet, have we?'' Jon kisses her forehead. ''No, no we haven't.''

A knock comes at the door, the couple share a look, Jon says. ''Come in.'' In comes their other five children. Rhaegar, eleven years old, looking more like his kepa every day. His twin, Alysanne, growing quickly into a true Valyrian princess. Aemon is eight, and should probably be at his studies - not that it matters right now. Six year old Rhaella is holding her eldest brother's hand, her silver hair in a braid down her shoulder. Two year old Benjen is on his eldest sister's hip, playing with a toy wolf. ''We wanted to see her, muna.'' Alysanne says. Daenerys nods, and motions them all over. ''This, our loves, is your sister... Princess Lyanna Targaryen.''

Rhaella gushes. ''She has our eyes, like me, Rhaegar, and kepa.'' Rhaegar nods. ''And mine, kepa, and Aemon's hair too, Ella.'' Jon beams at his children. ''She's a child of the North.'' Alysanne extracts an egg from a bag on her shoulder. This one being white and blue. ''This is for Lya, muna, can i put it in her cradle?'' Daenerys nods, her eldest girl is proving to be quite the princess. ''Of course.'' Jon asks his eldest daughter. ''How is Daeraxes doing?''

Alysanne says. ''She's doing great, still nesting.'' Rhaegar laughs, completing his twin's sentence. ''And Eddarion won't leave her side, we've not flown in weeks.'' Aemon looks cocky, Rhaella giggles, seeming proud of being the only ones able to fly right now. ''Sounds horrible, Alys.'' Aemon jokes. Alysanne rolls her eyes at her younger brother. ''Not helping.'' Benjen curls up beside his mother and new baby sister, and says. ''I miss you, muna.'' Daenerys wraps an arm around her baby boy, and assures him. ''I miss you too, Ben, I'll be back in the family in a few days, so will Lya.'' Benjen nods.

Daenerys and Jon share a look, the look they've shared for twelve years. Here they are, their dynasty complete at last.

I made this mood board for my new fic about GOT 14 years after Daenerys ascends the throne. Feel free to check it out!

Fifteen years after Daenerys ascends the throne, her two children, Misella and Joron, wish to explore the Seven Kingdoms as a whole. Daenerys and her children travel North as Jon travels South, and Jon must face his biggest regret.
