Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a super super long time! It was never my intention to abandon this story, and I am still determined to finish it. It may take me a long time to update, but I promise I will not leave this story to die. I have been super busy lately and haven't been able to update. I just got a new computer that I like way better than my old Macbook, so hopefully updates will be more frequent. Also, on a completely unrelated note, I'm getting a kitten! I get her on January 9th, and no one probably cares, but I'm so excited I want to tell everyone. So Mom, if you're reading this (cause my mom reads my fanfic), THANK YOU! Consider this your Christmas Present guys, a new chapter! I will try to get a couple more up by the end of Christmas Break, maybe like two or three. I won't be able to upload them until like Sunday, January 4th. Merry Christmas Everyone!

WARNING! This chapter contains some borderline smut, and just wanted to let you know. I haven't ever written any smut before, so it's kind of a shot in the dark.

Comments, critique, questions, opinions, please!

"I promised you that nothing would ever hurt you again the day I met you, and I intend to keep this promise. You are precious to me, and if I lose you, every man in the world shall feel my wrath. I love you, Rhaenyra Targaryen."

My eyes pop open, and I look up into Vijeks eyes. He looks shocked, so he must have thought I was asleep. I smile up at him and stretch my face up to his, planting a firm kiss on his lips.

"I love you too Vijek." I whisper. I move my hand up to his face, stroking a stray hair out of the way, and kiss him again. I sigh and scoot closer to him, breathing in his familiar scent.

He rolls us over, so that he is positioned on top, and quickly removes our clothes, wasting no time thrusting into me. Since the first time we had sex, Vijek had always been extremely gentle, and I was grateful for that. But now that is doesn't hurt anymore, we have sex a lot. I still wasn't sure how to tell Vijek that I was pregnant, and since he just said he loved me, I figured that right now might be a good time. But I also wanted to wait and see if he would be honest with me about what happened with Jorah.

Sighing, I put all thought to the back of my mind and focus on Vijek. His lips move across my neck, and I moan with pleasure, raking my fingers through his waist length hair. He grunts, and move his face up to mine, plunging his tongue into my mouth, dominating me. I move against his body, and roll over so that I'm on top.

We continue making love for a while, until we both fall asleep in each others arms. It's only until I'm on the brink of sleep, do I realize that I forgot to tell Vijek that I am expecting his child.

/Timelapse/

The next morning I wake up snuggled into Vijeks warm embrace. I smile and look up to see him still deep asleep. I kiss his cheek, and slide from his grasp carefully, so as not to wake him, and get up and put my clothes on. I scurry about the tent getting all my things ready to travel, since the khalasar is moving today. After successfully getting everything ready, I prepare a small breakfast for Vijek and I. I walk over to him, and gently caress his face, and kiss his forehead to wake him up. He blinks open his eyes, and smiles up at me, wrapping one muscular arm around my waist and pulling me down onto the bed with him. He pulls me flush against his chest and lays his head on top of mine. I giggle, and push back so that I am looking into his eyes.

"Vijek, we have to get up. The khalasar is moving today, and I already got everything ready to travel. I made up some breakfast for us, so I woke you so that we could eat before heading off."

"Fuck the khalasar. I would rather lay here all day with you. I love you. It feels nice to say that. I love you." He grins like a child, and kisses the tip of my nose.

"I love you too, and I love saying it. I would also rather lay here with you, but the sooner we get moving, the sooner we make it to Vaes Dothrak, and the sooner we can get rid of my brother." I push against his grip, and sit up.

"I guess you are right. We need to get rid of that little worm." He sighs, and sits up.

I get up for the second time this morning, and hand him his breakfast and his pants. He mumbles a thank you, in the Common Tongue, and gets dressed and scarfs down his food. I have been working on teaching him some of the Common Tongue, but mostly thank you. Since there is no way to say thank you in Dothraki, that was the first thing I wanted to teach him.

/Timelapse/

Within the hour, the khalasar is packed up and ready to go. I pat my mares neck as I ride alongside Dany.

"Vijek told me he loved me last night!" I say excitedly to her.

"Drogo calls me the moon of his life." She replied. "I think it means that I'm super important to him."

"Or maybe it's just because your hair is white." I giggle, covering my hand with my mouth, and throwing her a mischievous glance.

She rolls her eyes and smiles at me. "Have you told Vijek about your pregnancy yet?" She inquires.

"No. I was going to last night, but got, umm, distracted." I say, a blush spreading across my cheeks.

Dany smiles in understanding, and then, looking as if she just realized something, turns her head about searching for something she can't see.

"Where is Ser Jorah?" She asks.

"Oh." I don't know how to tell her. She was closer to the traitor knight than I was, and I'm not sure how she will take the news of his death. Especially since it was her husbands doing.

"Do you know?" She looks and me, and tilts her head in question.

"Yes, but it isn't good. Ser Jorah is dead." I look straight ahead, avoiding eye contact.

"What? How? He was just here yesterday, I was just talking to him yesterday!" She rambles.

"Just ask Drogo, he will tell you. That's all I'm going to say about it." I nod decisively, and nudge my horse into a trot to ride beside my hand maiden, Mojoanne.

I look over to Dany, and feel bad for leaving her, but I also know how she gets when she is emotional. She looks upset, and then begins to look at all the slaves for some reason. She then stops the entire khalasar, and dismounts her horse, and walks off into the brush.

I sigh, and dismount my horse, handing the reins to Mojoanne, and follow after Dany. I find her in a small clearing.

She is just standing there, looking into the distance. She is trying to hide her feelings, and to anyone else watching, they would think she was just having a pleasant thought or daydream. But I know better. I can see through her mask. She is deeply upset by the death of Ser Jorah.

I walk over to her and wrap my arm around her waist, leaning her against me. She sighs and lets a tear fall. I quickly wipe it up, and hug her tighter to me.

Viserys suddenly bursts into the clearing on his horse and dismounts. He angrily approaches us.

"DO YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE KHALS SLUT THAT YOU CAN COMMAND ME TO STOP?" He roars, spitting in our faces.

"No, Your Grace. I did not mean to command you. I was just upset by the death of Ser Jorah, and needed to gather my thoughts." Daenerys bowed her head slightly.

Viserys raised his hand to strike her, but I quickly step in the way, grabbing his wrist.

"NO! I will not let you hurt us anymore! You have bullied and abused us our entire lives, and neither of us have stood up to you. But I am sick and tired of it, you have pushed me over the edge. You will not hurt us ever again! You are no dragon! You would be lucky to be a lizard!" I scream, fed up with him.

"Do you think it wise to speak to your king in such a manner? I should cut your tongue out for showing such disrespect towards me, but I will just settle for a beating." Viserys glares at me.

He shoves me onto the ground and starts kicking me. The only thing I can think of is my baby, and that I have to protect it. I curl up and put my knees against my stomach with my arms wrapped around them. I cry out as I feel a kick hit my cheek, and another one against my back. As the blows rain down on me, Dany runs for help.

I suffer through the pain for a few minutes, until I black out, just as Vijek and Drogo gallop into the clearing on their horses. Vijek launches himself from of his stallion, and knocks Viserys to the ground. Drogo picks Viserys up and breaks his arms, and holds him in place, nodding to Vijek.

"DAENERYS, RHAENYRA, HELP ME! DON'T LET THEM KILL ME! I AM YOUR KING!" He screams pathetically.

Vijek slowly pulls out his sword and stalks toward Viserys, death written in his expression.

"I said that if you ever hurt Rhaenyra again, I would gut you like a fish. I intend to keep that promise." He growls menacingly.

He rips off Viserys' shirt and slowly puts the swords tip on one side of his stomach. Pushing in, he begins to drag it all the way across his stomach, as Viserys screams in pain. When Vijek is done, he pulls away his sword and stabs it into the ground, and runs to me.

He scoops me up into his arms and mounts his horse, slowly trotting away, leaving Viserys' disemboweled body lying on the ground. Drogo and Dany follow us.

I slowly blink open my eyes and look around at my surroundings. Vijek has one arm wrapped tight around me, as I sit cradle style in his lap. My head is pressed against his chest, and I have an enormous headache. Thinking about my baby, I go into a panic.

"Vijek, is there a healer in the khalasar?" I ask worriedly.

"Yes, but wait until we get a few miles farther. I don't want to set up camp near your scum brothers body." He says tenderly.

"But it's very important. I was going to tell you last night, but we got a little, uh, busy." I look up at him through my lashes. "Vijek, I'm pregnant."
