I own nothing
Chapter 11
" you must be careful Khaleesi"
Brick held the reigns of her mare while khal drogo plucked her off of her horse she had almost fallen off for her legs were still getting used to the constant horseback that and she seemed to have a weak stomach now a days she would have to be checked soon.
" I am doing my best brick thank you for your concern"
" of course Khaleesi I cant let anything happen to you you've only just become Khaleesi your reign has yet to begin" giving her a knowing look he had been dropping hints and suggestions of so that she would want to speak with him and the sooner he talked to her the sooner viserys was dealt with.
" I would like to see you in my tent after you have settled in brick "
Bowing as she was carried to her tent brick lead his horse to graze taking off the one saddle bag he had it contained a second set of clothes. while the slaves set up the tents and started making food while cleaning the clothes he waited till his horse skin tent was standing before going inside her sat on his low bed pulling off his chest plate he peeled off his tunic taking out his fresh one he shook it out so that the dirt from the roads would not cling to it. Once dressed he walked across camp making sure to smack viserys upside the head when he was not looking to the khaleesi's tent.
" are you presentable?"
" of course come in brick"
Pushing back the skins that were her doors he stepped in the tent was the most spacious in all the camp he smiled when he saw her put her dragon eggs back in their chest he could feel the small flicker of life in them but not much else he was sure Shane would be having a fit if she went anywhere near them. Daenerys sat on a pile of cushions wanting to show a bit of respect he took a seat at her feet brick smiled to her waiting for her to speak.
" brick I find that you have something to tell me and now that we are alone I think It would be best if you just say it"
" I feel that now is a good a time as any so I Bricidious of house mortem would like to pledge my loyalty to you Daenerys stormborn of house targaryen "
" you knew?"
" of course I know my family and I have known for quite some time and have made it our duty to make sure you and your brother were safe all these years"
" I-I don't understand you want to help me and my brother?"
"let me explain back when your father was on the throne he had one allie that stuck with him till his family was slaughtered and that was house mortem my grandfather and father made sure to sneak you and your brother out of kings landing while at the same time my family left westiros for the free cities"
" so your family saved me and now… now you want to help us get back the throne?"
" yes but Daenerys our families are much deeper than my father saving you way back when AEGON the conqueror became king he had won the allegiance of the hand of death the house that had the next most powerful thing to a dragon: house mortem has a demon"
" a demon? That that is impossible"
" if dragons are possible than so are demons , believe me I have seen its power first hand my father was the last one to have it and he was the only thing stopping those men from killing you and your brother he took on a small army to keep you safe"
"if you have a demon then how can I have a dragon ?"
"It is in your blood Daenerys a dragon can not be burned by fire and should you ever have dragons they would see you as a sibling and answer only to you"
" this is a lot"
" I know and im sorry to just spout all of it but I have been wanting to tell you since we first met look if you have any questions I will answer them to the best of my abilities"
Daenerys paused taking some deep breaths brick remained silent wanting to give her as much time as he could afford to give.
"brick" she finally spoke "can you tell me of westiros? I want to know what has happened there since the fall of my house"
"the Baratheon's have taken your throne their sigil is a stag the usurper Robert married cersei lanister of house lanister their sigil is a lion while lord eddard stark is the king of the north but while the stags, lions ,and wolves were busy so were us demons we have made sure that nothing gets past our mother we send her reports on what ever we have learned she is the head of our house and it has been her careful planning that has made your return possible we have gold that has only been growing we have been keeping an eye on the kings court we are only waiting for when you are ready"
" I think we are far from ready brick"
brick rubbed the back of his head he had to tell her or things would only go bad later on.
" Daenerys I don't think your brother is right for the throne"
" what ?"
" viserys is not right for the throne he is similar to your father at his final days he is not in his right mind"
"I …" Daenerys trailed off wringing her hands
she stood pacing before him he tilted his head as he watched her there was something different about her then he saw it a slight bump on her tiny form right where her stomach was his jaw dropped he couldn't believe it.
" Daenerys-"
" brick please let me think"
"but your …"
Rising to his feet he lightly gripped her shoulder turning her to him her eyes widened in both fear and surprise as he put his hand to her stomach.
" brick what are you-"
" your pregnant"
"what?"
They both looked down at her stomach then to each other she slowly placed a hand on her stomach before meeting his eyes .Daenerys targaryen was pregnant she smiled at brick her eyes watered as she looked back down at her stomach she looked radiant.
" I know that I speak for my family if they were here they would agree I congratulate you Khaleesi on the news of your pregnancy"
" thank you brick of thank you I must go tell drogo! "
Brick watched her run from the tent following he saw her weave through all the people till she found her husband among his blood riders as they ate. The khaleesi's smile only grew as she spoke to the man she loved drogo threw his food to the ground and pulled her to him crashing his lips in to hers he set her down on his knee before resting his callused hand on her stomach a look of joy on his face.
This was good. Daenerys would be a mother and drogo would have a son the line of two powerful people would live on. This was a gift indeed the only person who did not see it that way was viserys the annoying little ass that he was had taken every chance he could to sneer and beat Daeny's spirit but she held strong it was not till he tried to beat her that she finally showed the fool just what he was dealing with. Gone was the meek little girl that was trapped under her brothers thumb now stood a raging dragon her confidence shown in the way she walked and respect was demanded in the way she spoke and for brick to see it all the transformation was incredible.
the people of the dothraki now fully accepted their Khaleesi and rejoiced at the thought of having a prince the stallion that would mount the world that is what the dothraki said and brick did not doubt them if his father and sister could hold demons within them and Dany had dragon eggs than the child she was going to bear would bring the world together. the place to start would be westiros and his family would help in every way they could he would see to it. The dragons would return to westiros and they would all bow in their new Queen's glory or burn in her flames.
Turning away from the scene before him brick made his way to his horse he had news for his family .
" the demon rises "
