Valyria and Rhaegar were delivered rather quickly compared to Davina's first two batches of little hatchlings.

Alicent was the first to congratulate her.

Davina looked down to Valyria and Rhaegar, their hair very similar to Draeya and Haenrys own dark hair, frosted silver tips.

"Baby Fury..." davina coed snuggling him under her chin.

Alicent looked to Davina smiling down at baby Fury. Her smile faltered as she looked to the twins in Harwin and Gaels arms.

"Congratulations Davina." Alicent said softly.

"Baby Fury." Davina whispered 

"She is very excited." Harwin remarked.

"I got three babies in a day and I couldnt be happier.'' Davina whispered running a hand down baby furys back.

''She does love her human babies.'' Harwin assured glancing back at davina

''I harbored them in my womb for nine moons pushed them from my body and they will gnaw on my tit for moons to come.'' Davina reminded him sternly.

''Im agreeing with you.'' Harwin assured softly. Davinas gaze shifted from harwin back to baby fury.

"What did you name them?" Alicent offered moving to the twins.

"Valyria and Rhaegar.'' Davina answered. Alicent reached a hand out and Harwin passed off Valyria to her. Alicent hadnt spent much time with her children as babies and she regretted it, but she wasnt in a good place back then, she was doing better now.

''And the little dragon?" Alicent offered kindly.

''Hellfire.'' Harwin answered moving to the bed and kissing Davinas cheek. Davina reached out pulling harwin to her and he snuggled into her side wrapping an arm around gently.

"You are my anchor, you know that..." Davina whispered. "You keep me grounded and sane, but you let me fly."

"Funny because I always feel like him floating when I'm with you." Harwin mused.

"I have a question for you Alicent." Davina remarked and Alicent carried Rhaegar with her as she came up to Davina. "I see now what I didnt before and I wanted to know if you were okay?" Alicent stared back at her.

"I don't understand." Alicent remarked shifting uncomfortably.

"You were a child of 15 when you married my brother." Davina recalled. "I was going through my own shit at the time and didnt really see it. Didnt care, I was in my own head for a while." Davina admitted. "But you became queen and what should have been a happy night, but I only know too well that weddings are not happy." Davina added.

"I..." Alicent didnt know what to say so she silenced herself.

"I heard there was a bedding, I heard the council, your father included watched as my brother forced himself upon you." Davina rasped.

"It is tradition for a bedding." Alicent whispered not able to look at her.

"That's why you dont like Aegon. Thats why you didnt bond with Helaena." Davina remarked. "You were a child having children, being mounted by a man over double your age." Alicent pursed her lips trying to hold back the awful tears.

"Aemond you had depression after, Daeron as well it seemed but you were a woman grown for them. YOu knew the drill." Davina remarked softly and Alicent nodded. "I'm sorry you didnt have a friend for all that."

Alicent offered a pitiful smile.

"I cant imagine that, I was so in love with Daemon at the time that I didnt see past... well anything." Davina admitted.

"You have been a friend, a true friend and tended to the children and... helped me." Alicent assured. "I'm sorry I thought you were a terror before." she admitted.

"I was definitely a terror." Davina agreed with a laugh.

"I want to be a better mum, I wasnt for Aegon and Helaena... it was all too much too soon, the change and just everything." Alicent informed her. "I want to do better."

"You can practice on my littles." Davina remarked. "They bond but dont really remember much from this time, now is the time to shower them in kisses."

"Thank you, for seeing me." Alicent told her honestly. "Seeing me as I am and accepting me."

"Of course, now my plans for the Alicent redemption tour-" Davina declared and Alicent laughed out. "We find you a lover."

Larys came up peace offering in hand. Davina quirked a brow at Alicent.

"You two spend a lot of time together..." davina whispered but alicent shook her head.

"Your grace. Princess." Larys remarked and held out a stuffed dragon toy. "For my newest niece and nephew." Larys remarked. Davina took it from him fondly.

"Thank you Larys." Davina answered.

"From Larys?" Harwin chuckled.

"What? He is trying. Its sweet." Davina assured.

"He always has an Ulterior motive for everything." Harwin corrected.

"Or he saw how wonderful your life has been since I arrived and thought I need to be in Davinas good graces to and my life with be a walk in the park!" Davina declared.

"Is my life a walk in the park?" Harwin mused.

"You wouldnt change a thing." Davina reminded him.

"I wouldnt change a thing." Harwin agreed
