She was pregnant. She had known this for about a week now and she kept trying to figure out a way to get rid of it. This was bad. So bad.

It was the babe of her sworn protector... who was off in the middle of the war right now. What would you think when you returned to this? Why hadn't she'd been taking moon tea? Oh, this was bad. The mother would be done with her after this.

She paced her room in silence, Meleys and Rhaenys had just been slayed and you would be returning soon with the rest of the army. Alicent wasn't happy about this, she quickly sent her maid away trying to think about ways to tell you. She just wanted to get rid of the damn burden, but she didn't want to risk herself at the time. You would probably murder her or not claim it as your own.

Helaena would know the truth though and despite the fact she had informed Alicent that she forgave her, she wasn't quite sure how to trust her with this information. The fact she knew scared her... what if she accidentally mentioned it to Aemond? Or her maids. She shook her head, going to lay down.. Or if Jaehaera mentioned that night... she'd never even thought about the little girl. She needed sleep

Alicent stayed mostly silent, nodding at the knights before she found her brother. She made a small conversation with him, he looked a little beat up but was otherwise fine. Aemond had finally informed her that Aegon had been seriously hurt... Aemond believed he should've died and she just eyed him carefully, unsure if he'd been behind it or it had just been Aegon's foolishness, or both.

"Your grace."

Alicent spun around at the voice, it was the voice she had been dreading to hear. She looked him up and down. "You've looked better." She said, trying to joke... anything really because she was scared about the thing growing in her stomach that you didn't know about. What was she going to do?
