When the knew of Rhaenys and Meleys death came to Elaena, she was saddened. But most of all, she felt guilty. She had felt that something would happen and it did, and now she feels she could have stopped it.
She lay in her and Jacaerys bed, staring at the wall. Jacaerys had gone out an hour ago to speak with some of the council, she said she wasnt up for it, and he understood.
When she woke this morning she felt hot and dizzy, she had even thrown up. But she felt better now. She knew it was probably her guilt.
Her eyes moved from the wall to the door as she heard it open, and she sighed seeing Jacaerys.
"Elaena, are you still feeling I'll? Shall I call the maester?" He asked worriedly, sitting down beside where she lay, his hand resting on her head.
"No, no. I'm feeling better now." She said smiling at him.
She sighed, pulling the blanket off of her, hopping up out of bed, and walking over to her vanity, picking up a red dress, placing it over her head, and her arms reaching to her back, trying to do her corset.
She groaned, trying to reach it before Jacaerys came over, smiling at her fondly "leave it" he said beginning to do it himself.
"I hope Corlys is copping ok" she said sighing.
"He is strong, although it will hurt, he will get through it" he said, finishing her dress and kissing her head as she turned around.
"Will you accompany to the dragonpit? I want to check on Pearl" She asked
"Of course" he said taking her hand and kissing it dramatically, making her roll her eyes in response.

When they eventually made it down to the dragonpit, Jacaerys parted with Elaena, as he went over to Vermax and she went over to pearl.
After a minute he heard a squeal, well more of an excited yell, and he lifted his head up to see her signalling him to come over to her.
"There's eggs! I see an egg!" She yelled excitedly.
Jacaerys laughed, finding her excitement very cute "how many?" He asked.
"Two, no! Three! Oh my gods there's three!" She yelled excitedly.
Jacaerys eyes widened, walking over to her now, his arm around her waist.
"How long till they hatch, do you think?" He asked her.
"Not long at all judging by the size" she said, jumping up and down excitedly.
"I will name one of them meleys" she said smiling down at the eggs sadly.
"That's a fine idea" he said kissing her cheek.
"Come, we should go back" he said and she nodded, interlinking their hands as they laughed, not before Vermax walked over to Pearl and saw eggs. He let out an excited screech making them laugh loudly.
"Looks like someone's excited to be a dad" she said.
"Indeed" Jacaerys said, before turning to look at her with a smile.
________________
Around two hours later, Jacaerys and Elaena were in the library. Elaena was reading a book on dragon eggs while Jacaerys was pacing...a lot.
"Jace, please your giving me a headache with all the walking" she pleaded, holding her forehead which was pounding with pain.
"I'm sorry" he muttered stopping and walking over to her.
"What is wrong?" She asked with a sympathetic look.
"She won't let me do anything. I-It's humiliating Lena!" He yelled.
She sighed knowing who he was speaking about immediately "she just worries for you Jace, as I do" she said placing her hand on top of his.
"I know, but I feel useless!" He said grumpily, making Elaena hold back a laugh. She felt as though they were children again, when they'd give out about everything.
"You are anything but useless" she said standing up to kiss him on the cheek, her hand lingering there.
He sighed, looking around the room, before he paused, clearly coming up with an idea.
"Jace.." she said her voice a warning as she watched him.
"The freys! They are close to riverrun. That means in would be a path for Cregan Starks greybeards coming from the north!" He said with a smile.
"Indeed, but mother will not like that one but" she said giving him a look.
"Yes, that is why you won't tell her" he said with a pleading smile.
She returned the smile, making him smile back relaxed that she agreed.
"Ok, but one condition" she smiled sneakily.
"Ok, that is?" He asked.
"I'm coming with you!" She said with a smile.
"No" he said simply.
"Oh ok...I suppose I'll just have to go tell mother so" she said faking sadness.
"You wouldn't" he said.
"Oh jace, I would" she smiled back.
He rolled his eyes, looking around the room for a minute before sighing.
"You'll have to ride with me, Pearl can't be ridden if she's just layed the eggs" he said grabbing her hand.
"Fine with me!" She said walking with him excitedly. She was glad to finally get to leave dragonstone for a while.
_________________
The flight to the freys homeland was not too long, but it felt like hell for Elaena. The nausea she had earlier had returned while they rode. She knew it was not from the ride, as of course she was no stranger to dragon rides, this time she was worried to was not just guilt, and maybe it was illness.
Once they arrived they were met with the freys, and they sat at a table, discussing mostly with Jacaerys, who constantly gave Elaena a worried glance at her quietness.
"Our lord grover fully has not declared for Rhaenyra. It means death to bare steel against your liege, as I'm sure my prince is aware" Lord Frey said.
Elaena felt another headache again, and the nausea had never left, she sighed, leaning her head against Jacaerys shoulder.
He looked down worriedly at her, resting a hand on her thigh. He of course wanted to ask if she was alright, but clearly now was not the time.
Jacaerys turned back the the two "And against your queen? Hmm?" He asked.
Jacaerys sighed getting no answer from the two "Jason lannister is marshalling to the west. We need to check him before he reaches riverrun. That requires passage"
Elaena stared at the man in disgust as he stuffed his face with food rudely as Jacaerys was speaking to him.
"And if starks army is too slow? The winds rising. Winters nigh upon us" Lord frey said.
"Our hesitance does not lie in Rhaenyra as queen, nor in the ruminations of lord tully, the oaf. Our fear lies in vhagar" Lady Frey said.
Elaena almost laughed, she would've if she wasn't trying not to vomit everywhere at that moment.
"You fear a dragon leagues away, when mine own sits outside your walls?" Jacaerys said with a smirk.
They both froze, staring at Vermax who sat on the walls of the frey house, watching warily at the two.
"Do you offer us protection?" Lady Frey asked.
"I do. And the protection of my uncle" Jacaerys said.
"And daemon, I'm sure has consented to this?" Lady frey asked.
"He will do as his queen commands" Jacaerys nods.
"That offers me some comfort, though it occurs to me dragons cannot be in two places at once" Last frey said.
"Or three" lord free added.
Elaena watched as he stuffed some food in his mouth again, the smell of it reaching her, as she gagged loudly, placing her hand over her mouth and sitting up.
Jacaerys eyes widened, sitting up slightly too, placing a hand on her back soothingly, watching in relief when she sat up again "I'm ok" she lied still trying not to be sick everywhere.
Jacaerys inspected her for a moment, as her head went down to rest again his shoulder again. She looked exhausted, but she couldn't be, they had both slept fine.
He sighed, finally looking back at the two freys coldly "What do you want?" He asked.
"Larys strong, has been relieved of his castle. Does the queen intend to raise up a new lord?" Lady Frey asked.
Jacaerys looked between the two for a moment before speaking "you want Harrenhal." He realised.
They both raised their eyebrows as a yes, and Jacaerys grabbed his cup, downing the last of his wine, before standing, helping Elaena up too, as lady frey poured him more wine.
"For that, my mother will want more than your crossing," Jacaerys told them, placing his cup on the table again.
"What does her grace desire?" Lady Frey asked.
Jacaerys leaned over the table "bent knees"
Although Elaena was feeling extremely unwell, she couldn't lie, him saying those words, definitely turned her on.
After a minute of discussing, they had finally come to an agreement, and Jacaerys and Elaena walked way from the two, on the large bridge.
Once they were far away where the Freys wouldn't be earwiging, Jacaerys turned to her with a very worried expression.
"Lena? What's wrong, your not well" he said cupping both of her cheeks, which were very hot.
"I don't know" she cried, confused and worried.
"Hey, hey it's ok. We're going to home now, alright, and everything will be ok" he said kissing her temple.
He helped her walk up to vermax, and just before she was about to go on she got a smell of that Frey food again and gagged. This time however, she was unable to keep in down.
She quickly ran over to a bush, and threw up for a minute, before wiping her mouth, and Jacaerys helped her up again.
This time he was just as worried as her, rubbing her back as she cried "Come on, it's ok let's go home" he whispered helping her over to vermax again.
She wiped her eyes, not even really knowing why she was crying, as she looked to see vermax leaning down close to her, and she placed her hand on his head, letting him. He leaned in close to her, nuzzling her softly, making her laugh curiously "what is he doing?" She laughed.
"I don't know" Jacaerys said just as confused as her.
"Sศณz valonqar" she said to vermax, before Jacaerys wrapped his arms around her waist, helping her onto vermax, who leaned down for her (good boy)
_______________
The ride back to dragonstone was just as horrible as the way to the twins, but they eventually did get back.
Elaena swallowed, a headache and nausea still lingering inside of her, as she tried to remain calm, but it was hard.
As soon as they made it into the castle, Jacaerys quickly brought her to their chambers, telling her to stay in bed while he got a maester.
A few minutes later, he came back with one. Elaena swallowed. Of course she wanted to know what was going on with her, but a part of her didn't want to know, a part of her was too scared.
"I need privacy, my prince" he said.
Jacaerys was reluctant to go, staring at his wife in their bed.
"It's ok, jace" she said with a reassuring smile.
He sighed "I'll be right outside"
Once he had left, the maester began to ask her some questions, most of which sounded normal, that was until he asked "May I ask, when was the last time you bled"
Elaena felt her heart drop no. not yet. it's not time yet she closed her eyes sighing before saying "it's late" in a low voice.
"How late, may I ask?" He said.
She swallowed "very late" she barked. She immediately felt bad for snapping at him, it wasn't his fault. It was hers, well technically jaces too if you want to be specific.
"I think you know where I'm going with this princess, but I still need to do an examination" he told her, and she nodded stiffly.
After a a few minutes the maester put away his utensils again, looking at the princess nervously "My examination proves that you are in fact....with child, princess. I would guess around two to three months now." He said
Elaenas eyes widened even further, trying her best to listen as he continued to speak.
"I have left some milk of the poppy here which you should have every night for a week to help with the headaches. Is there anything else I can do for you, princess?" He asked.
As he waited for a reply, he didn't get one, instead he heard her begin to cry. His eyes widened, clearing his throat, not knowing what to say. He didn't get time to say anything though, as her cries got louder, and Jacaerys opened the door angrily.
"What did you do?" He asked accusingly looking at the maester.
"N-Nothing my prince" he said nervously.
Jacaerys tore his attention away from the man to his crying wife who was in their bed. He quickly walked over to her, sitting on the side of the bed, holding her in his arms.
"Hey it's ok, what's wrong?" He asked confused as to why she was crying.
When she didn't answer his mind began to go over all the possible reasons why she was upset, and he decided on one, she must be dying.
"Oh my gods, are you badly I'll, as in terminal" he asked worriedly.
Elaena sighed as she cried "please leave us" she said to the maester, who nodded and left the room.
"Are you?" He asked, his face going white.
"Gods no, no jace" she said sniffling.
"Well...what is it then?" He asked confusedly.
"Your going to hate me" she sobbed.
His brows furred "Lena, no. I could never hate you, just tell me it's ok" he said softly.
She sighed shakily, looking down for a moment in fear before finally looking him in the eyes
"I'm with child...jace" she cried.
He didn't really take in the words first, and so had to replay them in his mind a few times before it actually hit him she was with child.
His eyes widened and he gulped looking down at her stomach for a minute. His silence only made Elaena more distraught.
"You hate me don't you" she mumbled.
He swallowed "No, no. I'm just....taken aback" he said staring at her stomach still.
"I'm sorry, I know it's extremely unfortunate timing" she said.
He sighed sadly at her, cupping her cheeks "don't apologise. I love you, and I will love our child, no matter when or where it is born. As long as we're together that's all that matters" he said coming closer to her.
She nodded, and froze, only actually realising what was going to happen "I'm going to be a mother" she whispered.
"And I'm going to be a father" he whispered back.
After a moment of silence they both smiled, Jacaerys gently placed his hand on her stomach, letting it stay there for a moment.
"I suppose it makes sense now, I thought I was getting a little fat" she laughed, leaning into his touch.
"ฤซlva riรฑnykeฤ" he smiled, looking down at her.
"ฤซlva riรฑnykeฤ" she repeated as he leant down and kissed her softly, before scooping her up into his arms, making her yell out and laugh.
Once he place her down again she looked at him "I want to go tell mother....now" she said nervously.
Jacaerys sighed, knowing their mother would probably be angry, but he knew they had to.
"Alright" he said, kissing her forehead before placing his arm around her protectively as they walked down.
"I can believe you thought I was dying" Elaena teased, laughing at him.
"Ha ha, very funny" he said rolling his eyes.
"I was worried about you" he said looking at her.
"And for that I thank you" she smiled, stopping just to kiss him softly.
They walked for another minute, enjoying each other's embrace, before they reached the room their mother was in.
"Jace I'm scared" she whispered, looking at him.
"Me too, but it's ok, cause we're going to do it together" he said, kissing her temple again.
