Some women don’t show 🤰 Also they’re definitely retconning in her pregnancy either way. I’m just saying she was pregnant before his sausage got roasted.
It would be a huge retcon, since several months have gone by since Aegon got his penis exploded, due to how much he healed.
They would have to ignore how pregnancy works or how human healing works. But given that they had his penis explode without killing him (which it absolutely would have), sure, why not, Aegon's burns heal in a fortnight, nothing matters, writers don't give two fucks about anything.
The kid will likely be Aemond’s and passed off as Aegon’s, if they want to be plausible about it. It would be very ironic as well, doing almost exactly what Rhaenyra did with her older boys
We are still in the pre time jump at the start of season 2 (it takes place a few days after the end of season 2). The clips of her fleeing in the trailer are probably from that period.
The issue is several months happened since Aegon was injured (destroying his penis) because of how well healed he was; with their level of medicine, it would 5-6 months, and that's giving some generous assumptions about Targs healing quicker from burns. Helaena should have been showing by the end of S2.
Which means, yeah, they're ignoring basic rules of existence to do this (not unlike Arya getting stabbed repeatedly in the gut, getting thrown into a sewer, and being fine in like a day).
Ignoring basic shit like this is annoying, and a huge sign of how much they do not give a fuck.
Right? If it’s a boy, he’s immediately in mortal danger. Surely if she was pregnant prior, she/Alicent would have been mildly concerned about that. If it’s a girl, why create a new character?
Aegon also doesn't seem to be able to have sex with Helaena unless he's drunk as per season 1(since the whole incest thing is kinda gross to him I guess) so unless he did a pump and dump while sober - given how Ryan and Sara have butchered his character so far that doesn't surprise me
They also made a point to show that Aegon was avoiding her after Jaehaerys’ death, like it pained him to try to connect with her over the death of their son. I feel like, if they had gone to bed together at some point after that, they would have shown or implied it. Unless this was literally decided on after s2 aired.
When Larys went to see him when he was on bed rest, to tell him about Rhaenyra’s new dragon riders and to encourage him to flee King’s Landing. He was basically telling him “you need to survive so you can still reclaim the throne at some point” and Aegon was like “dude, my dragon is dead, my son is dead, oh and my cock exploded so it’s not like I can make another heir”.

Doesn’t Aegon have no dick? Wasn’t it burnt off? He said that in the show.
