There's something so interesting about the timing of Book!Helaegon's children's birth that says so much with so little.
They had Jaehaera and Jaehaerys within a year of their wedding. This means they were very sexually active together around this time! You could argue it's done out of duty, sure, but Aegon reads like someone very prone to his whims and emotions, much like in the show. This might mean they were/grew passionate for each other around this time or maybe before?
Perhaps the anticipation of their wedding made them spend more time with each other, initially out of obligation, and later from fondness. Or maybe the interest they had in each other compounded over the years, like a subtle slow burn that erupted on their wedding as they realised they were bonded for life, not only in blood but also by the law of the land.
However, my favourite detail has to be the timing of Maegor's birth.
You're telling me that Helaena gave birth 9 months after Jace asked to dance with her at Viserys's family dinner? The one that had Aegon so pissed?
The possessiveness is real. You know the sex that night was wild.
Aegon will not share his beloved sister with anyone. And he'll fuck a son into her womb on their marriage bed for all to see.
If Helaena's defense of Aegon's seat on the Throne is anything to go by, she might be defensive and fond of him just the same. She doesn't come off as someone with any sense of political ambition to ascend as the Queen whatsoever; if anything she asked Blood and Cheese to take her life instead of her children's. From where I stand all she wanted was to live happily with her family, and her husband having his birth right (as contentious as it may be) was included in that vision.
Again, you could interpret any of this in many ways, in bad faith especially. Aegon could be misusing his power as a husband to impose himself on her, and her sense of responsibility, passivity and sensitive nature could have led her to go along with whichever wishes he could have had.
However I personally don't believe that was GRRM's thought process as he wrote those pages. The show depicted Aegon doing many terrible things and it tainted his already flawed character beyond even what the show writers intended. Also Alicent would never allow any harm to come to her little girl. Of that, I am 100% sure.

why do we as a fandom not talk about abed liking "as i lay me down" by sophie B hawkins and troy liking "come sail away" by styx more ????
as i lay me down is all about missing and coping with losing a lover.
come sail away is about how painful it is to be away from people/a person you love and wishing that they could've "sailed away" with you. they both feature lyrics about remembering things that they did with friends/lovers together.
like the trobed of it all is just soooo juicy and i dont see anyone speaking about it?!?

redditors will be like “erm does anyone else think abed is a bit of a dick 🤓” as if their faves aren’t a disbarred lawyer who sees women as objects, a future cop who drugs her friends with amphetamines, a white feminist who equates virtue signaling with political activism and thinks animal abuse is worse than racism, a pro-life fundamentalist christian, an arsonist, and pierce
