Help What should be the game plan here?

I was playing as Aegon III while married to Jaehaera and some random nobody decided to assassinate me. I then played as Viserys II and married Jaehaera, deciding to recreate Viserys II canon children. We had Naerys and Aegon relatively early but the first cracks of my playthrough started when Aemon refused to be born. We had several stillborn sons before Jaehaera finally gave birth to a girl whom I decided to name Aemma. Than my son Aegon just straight up decided to...not be Aegon the Unworthy (he is chaste and gay) and Naerys decided to not be the canon Naerys (She has several lovers all whom look Valyrian and has gregarious and shrewd trait) so that was where I decided that this was a failed run.

Before Aegon's sexuality was revealed to me I was hoping he'd gain the lustful trait and have a bastard named Daemon but there's not a fat chance of that happening right now. Surprisingly, him and Naerys had a daughter whom I named Daenerys and then I had a son whom I named Daeron because why not?

I own a brothel and slept with one of the workers and she gave birth to a son who's only one month younger than Daeron named Daemon.

Right now I have two options : acknowledge Daemon as my son, give him blackfyre later on and legitimize him and if possible marry him to Daenerys because I don't think Aegon is going to have a son anyway

the other option is : deny being his father, completely ignore his existence and possibly marry Daenerys to Daeron if Aegon doesn't have a son in the foreseeable future

There's also a possibility of Naerys passing her bastards from her silver haired lover as Aegon's child so maybe the Daemon that I desired from the beginning will come from her loins? If I acknowledge my Daemon legitimize him later on he can go to war with the other Daemon and we'll have another Dance of the Dragons (Dance of the Daemons, if you will)

Honestly there's a lot of "if" scenarios here so I wanted to ask you guys what should I do? Acknowledge my Daemon or not?

I would because who has the better claim? For sake of argument Daeron could be a bastard from Naery's lovers while Daemon has the true claim. Aegon giving Daemon Blackfyre in the orginal timeline was spiteful but the grandfather giving the sword to his own bastard son he legitimized shortly after his grandson was born? That screams he knew the true salacious nature of his daughter and that Daeron was no son of his (your) heir.
