House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men

(Drakken's POV)

[A Few Months Later]

"Good Morrow, Drakken." Maegelle said as she walked up to me

"Hm?" I said as I looked over at her, seeing her large belly through her dress, "Good Morrow...."

She walked up to me and leaned down, kissing my cheek as she gently rubbed my arm, "How did you sleep?"

"I didn't." I said as I looked at the book I was reading, "Why do you ask?"

"You need sleep." She said as she rubbed my hair, "It's not good for you to stay up for so long."

"I'll be fine." I told her, "You. Come here."

I pulled her in front of me and sat her in my lap while I gently placed my hand on her belly, feeling the lifeforce of my child in her.

"Oh!" she said as she placed her hand on mine, "Drakken..."

I leaned in and smelled her hair, "You are very beautiful." I said to her ear, "I want you so badly."

"Do you, now?" She chuckled, "Well, last time we tried, you could not hold yourself back...."

I caressed her belly, "Hm..." I said, "What do you think you'll give me?"

"I don't know." she said, "Whatever the child is, I will love them....I can assure you of that."

"Hm...." I said, "I want more."

"More?" She asked as she looked at me

"I want more from you." I said

"You have not had this one yet and you want more?" She asked with a smile, "Drakken...."

"More children from you, that is all....." I said, "Beautiful white haired children that have my strength."

"You should show that sentiment to Lady Mya." She said

"She is content with Riktor." I told her, "We've talked about it. I want more from you, I won't let you rest. After you give birth, I want you nightly....can you handle it?"

"Calm down." She said, "We are almost there, we can worry about it then."

I nodded and kissed her shoulder, "Any word from your Family?"

"Yes." She said, "Alyssa wrote to me. Vaegon had just recovered from whatever happened to him and Mother is still shut in her room. You should not have killed her dragon."

"Would you have preferred I killed her?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, "She should learn to not stick her nose where it doesn't belong. This is a lesson."

"Drakken...." She said, "After what happened.....people are very wary of you. Sharp Point..."

"I don't care." I said as I rubbed her belly, "You know why I did what I did...."

"I understand." She said softly, "It didn't make it right."

"Hm." I said

She slowly got up, "I am quite hungry." She said, "I suppose bearing a child does wonders to the appetite."

"It does." I said

She looked at me with a smile, "Let us go and eat."

I stood up and nodded, "Yes." I said as I reached for her rear, squeezing it, "My beautiful Maegelle..."

"Mind where you're touching." She frowned, "Come..."

"Let us eat."

****************

"I can now move multiple objects now." Riktor said, "Watch, Father."

I saw as he lifted several forks and knives with his telekinesis, his hand raised as he had a focused look on his face. He sat on the chair across from me on the table while the servants came in and placed food in front of us. Next to him, Sylas was looking at his plate with a serious look on his face.

"Good." I said while taking a sip of my wine, "Keep at it."

"My son will soon master his abilities while training with his sword." Mya said as she sat down next to Riktor, "He will become a formidable warrior, My Lord."

"That is good, Riktor!" Maegelle said while she sat next to me, "I am impressed!"

"Thank you, Mama." Riktor said

"Sylas, dear." Maegelle said with a frown, "You have not touched your food."

"I am not hungry." Sylas said softly

I looked at him, "You need to eat."

"I don't want to." He said, "I wish to be excused."

"Sylas-" I started

"The boy is tired, My Lord." Mya said, "Sylas, my love, go on and get some sleep."

Sylas looked at me and I could not help but give him a nod.

He got out of his seat and as he exited the room, Mya let out a sigh.

"It is rough." She said while looking down, "It is difficult to get his mind out of what happened."

I crossed my arms, "He will have no choice but to move on."

"Being yourself won't help, Drakken." Maegelle said, "You should be more gentle with him."

"That won't help him either." I said, "Sylas needs to focus on what is more important."

"He is a child, Drakken." She said, "Be easy on him."

Suddenly, the forks and plates fell to the table.

"Ah." Riktor said with a frown, "I dropped them."

"Don't play around, boy." I said, "Where is Saera?"

"Ah, I am here, My Love~~" I heard a voice say

I turned to see her walking up to me, her pregnant belly showing through her white dress as she reached me. It was much smaller than Maegelle but was clearly noticeable.

"You're late." I said with a raised eyebrow, "Sylas left the table."

Saera reached me and sat on my lap, "Hm..." She said, "The poor boy, he misses his mother dearly. But worry not, I will care for him."

"I am doing that already." Mya muttered

Saera wrapped her arms around her neck, "My Love~" She said softly, "Do you feel it? The heartbeat of your strong son inside my belly?"

I placed my hand on her belly, "Hm, I do." I said, "But are you so sure it is a boy?"

"I know it." Saera leaned in and kissed me on the lips briefly, "Oh, My Love~ I cannot wait to see you hold the perfect son."

"Another brother would be nice." Riktor said, "Three sons to lead the Trinity's armies.....quite nice."

"That is a wonderful idea, Riktor." Mya said

"Hm, not bad." I said as I gently held Saera by her waist

Saera leaned in, "I would love to have you in my bed tonight~" she said, "Unlike my sister, I can take it~"

"Ah.." I said, "Calm down."

"Two children that are soon to come to this world." Mya said, "Do you have any plans for them, My Lord?"

"Not really." I said, "But i know what I would after this one gives birth. Let's say that my door will be shut at all times."

I gestured at Maegelle who blushed.

"O-Oh, Drakken...." She said as she looked down, "D-Don't say that in front of Riktor."

"Hmph." Saera said, "Lover, when I give birth, you will do that with me. Don't you dare disappoint me."

"You are quite the needy one." I said as I gently grabbed her chin, "You need to learn restraint. My beautiful Saera....."

"I will teach you that."
