25. Men Are Useless

"I think that the boys think, we are going to burn the capital down." Davina remarked. 

"Not that burning things is your style." Rhaenyra agreed. 

"No, never..." Davina agreed. "I just overheard them and I will tell you this is going to be the best pregnancy ever." 

"Why do you say that?" 

"They are already having the cooks constantly making me cake." davina began.

"How is that any different from before?" Rhaenyra mused. 

"I didn't have to ask." Davina offered. "They had Aegon deliver cake to me. I didnt have to get up." 

"Royal service." Rhaenyra remarked. 

"I got a back massage, which turned into a full body massage which then turned into all the fun of having a wonderful husband with a very impressive tongue."

"To much information.'' Rhaenyra remarked. 

"I didnt tell you anything." Davina countered. 

"And yet, you told me too much."

"Whatever." Davina declared. "Oh I was thinking of ravening my cousin Gaena because she is on her first as well and then there would be four pregnant hormonal women walking around but I thought better of it."

"Gaena?"

"You never met her? Sweetest thing. Married a stark which is why we never see her. Winterfell. So far away. So cold, I dont know how she survives a forever winter." Davina remarked. 

"I think father said something about a Gaena but I don't remember him calling her sweet."

"She is... well not to the male species but me. We were thick as thieves." Davina remarked. "But she got married and I got married and she didnt kill her husband..."

"Strange thought indeed." Rhaenyra agreed. 

"She was actually, get this, engaged to a Hightower." Davina remarked. 

"no!" Rhaenyra declared. 

"Yeah, that fell through rather quickly. Ottos nephew I think, or cousin, I dont know but even Gaena thought the frozen north was better than a hightower. Viserys should have taken note."

"I don't think you understand." Gael remarked. 

"Understand what?" 

"I think... it is quite possible... I mean... I'm going to lose my head." Harwin stared back at his  younger brother. 

"I'm going to need more than that." Harwin remarked. "Tell me the truth so I can lie for you."

"I think the princess is carrying my child." Gael whispered. Harwin made an O, face as he nodded. 

"Yep, you are screwed." Harwin said turning around but Gael grabbed him. 

"This is serious." 

"I think Targaryen genes are quite strong." Harwin remarked.

"Says you, you and davina have little mismatched cuties." Gael countered. 

"It is peculiar." Harwin agreed. "But Davina is also a very dominant person." 

"That should not correlate with her genes." 

''Yet..." Harwin remarked with a shrug.

"Daddy I need a favor." Draeya remarked. Harwin looked to Haenry and Aemond chasing after her. 

"Alright." Harwin agreed kneeling before her. 

"I need," she glanced back at the boys. "You to say I'm right." she whispered nodding to him. 

"What are you right about?" Harwin countered and Draeya shook her head. 

"It does not matter the details. You say. I'm right. Okay? Say it." Draeya instructed. 

"Very much a little Davina." Gael remarked. 

"Go on, so I know you can." Draeya told Harwin. "I'm right."

"I'm right." Harwin repeated and Draeya groaned. 

"Mama is right, men are useless." Draeya grumbled. 

"Did mama say that about me?" Harwin asked. 

"I don't know but I'm starting to think so." Draeya offered and Harwin reached for her picking her up and flipping her upside down. He held onto her legs as her head bounced against his back. "DADDY!" Draeya laughed and shouted. 

"No, lets ask mama together." Harwin remarked walking off. 

"Haenry, Aemond, Save me!" Draeya called out reaching for them. They jumped up chasing after her yet again. 

Harwin heard Davina and Rhaenyra laughing when he pushed open the door. 

"I have a very sassy package for you." Harwin remarked putting Draeya down next to Davina. 

"Sassy package huh?" Davina mused pulling Draeya to her. 

"lies!" Draeya declared. "I'm an angel."

"Sassy angel." Harwin corrected kissing Davina's cheek, she wrapped a hand back around his neck keeping him to her when she heard little footsteps running through the door out of breath. 

"We tried to save you!" Haenry declared. 

"He's just so tall!" Aemond agreed. 

"Mama saved me." Draeya told them snuggling into Davina. 

"Mama  always save you." Davina assured. "What did you need saving from?" 

"Daddy wasnt following directions." Draeya informed her. 

"No, he is not the best at that." Davina agreed as he moved around the couch squishing in next to them. "You comfy?" Davina mused as he shifted next to her. He picked Davina and Draeya up as though they were nothing and put them back down in his lap. 

"Very." He agreed kissing her again. 

Rhaenyra watched them. Happy and in love as the kids babbled. She wanted that feeling. SHe liked Gael, he was handsome, kind, sweet but their relationship was hidden. She was married to Laenor and Laenor fucked his way through life when he wasn't fighting or when he was fighting as well. Rhaenyra thought that after everything with Daemon all the pain and hate that Davina would be bitter and filled with rage. Never love again but here she was sitting in her husbands lap, whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Her hand trailing along his jaw, his eyes never leaving Davina's.

Rhaenyra wanted that all consuming love. She didnt know that she had that with Gael, she liked him, she felt loved by him but that look was missing. But she supposed that Harwin and Davina had a lot of history. A lot of love and fun, pain and pushing away before they got here. 

Rhaenyra thought back to Daemon. To be loved by someone that much, that it broke Davina that hard when he left her. To have that all consuming never want another soul feel. That tug on her heart. Rhaenyra wondered if she felt that now for Harwin. It seemed so. It seemed like Davina had been over Daemon for a while now.
