hey guys and welcome back to my blog! today, I'm posting a certified blog for may rhae! I decided to write a small fic about daemon and rhaenyra seeing their kid (aegon) take his first steps!

The afternoon sun poured into the room, making everything look soft and golden. Rhaenyra sat on the rug, legs crossed, holding her arms out.

“Come on, Aegon,” she said gently, smiling wide. “Come to Mama.”

Aegon stood a few feet away, gripping the edge of a wooden chair with chubby little fingers. He wobbled a bit, his silver-blond curls flopping into his eyes. Daemon sat on the couch nearby, one arm draped over the back. “He’s just like you,” he said with a smirk. “Stubborn.”

Rhaenyra laughed. “He’s trying, Daemon.”

Aegon let go of the chair and stood on his own. His lips parted in surprise like he didn't except himself to be able to do that. Rhaenyra’s eyes lit up. “Good! That’s it, sweet boy!”

"Don’t fall on your face." Daemon called lazily, but there was pride in his voice. Aegon took one shaky step. Then another. His arms stuck out for balance, and his little feet slapped against the floor.

"Oh Gods,” Rhaenyra whispered. “Daemon- he’s doing it!”

Daemon sat up straighter, watching closely. “Well, look at that. The little dragon walks.”

“Come here, baby, come to Mama,” Rhaenyra said, almost tearing up. Aegon took three more wobbly steps before tumbling into her lap. She caught him in her arms and laughed, hugging him close.

"You did it!” she said, kissing his cheeks over and over.

Daemon walked over, crouching down next to them. “Not bad, Aegon,” he said, ruffling his son’s hair. “You’ll be running around causing trouble in no time.” Aegon giggled and reached for Daemon’s nose.

“He gets that mischief from you.” Rhaenyra said, smiling.

Daemon grinned. “Of course he does.”

They sat there on the rug together, just a mother, a father, and their little boy who had just taken his very first steps.

And in that small, quiet moment, the world felt perfect.
