My Tears Ricochet // Alicent Hightower

47. Harwin

"All of them. Tell them all I love them, all the time." Harwin requested. Davina nodded, more tears falling and this dream she never wanted it to end yet she couldnt wait to wake up because she hated that this wasnt real. "I love you. I want you to be happy, I want you to love. I want you to smile. I want you to think of me and smile." Harwin instructed. "I wanted to love you forever. I still can but I want you to love. Love the kids, love them. I'm okay if you dont love another man though." Harwin assured her knowingly.

"No man could ever compete with you." Davina agreed.

"I love you so much."

"I love you." Davina echoed. 

Tears littered Davina's face as her eyes opened. ALicent stared back at her. 

"Are you alright Davi?" 

"Yeah." Davina croaked out. 

"Harwin?" Alicent questioned gently. 

"What?" Davina rasped. 

"You kept saying his name." ALicent remarked. "In your sleep." she wiped at Davina's tears. 

"Yeah... yeah... we talked." Davina agreed leaning into Alicent. "We talked."

"What did he say?" Alicent whispered interlocking her fingers with Davina. 

"All the right things." Davina remarked. "All the things he wanted me to tell the kids... he knows about you. About us." Davina added and Alicent closed her eyes holding tight to Davina's hand, waiting for the this wont work you are not Harwin get out of my bed. But it never came. 

"He said he was okay if I was never with another man. And he gave me this look, that smug handsome look that Haenry is getting the hang of... He said he wanted be to be happy. He wanted me to love again." Davina remarked. "Promised always." Davina whispered. "Said he glad you made me happy." 

"Sounds like a good dream." Alicent admitted and Davina couldnt stop crying again. 

"It was." Davina agreed. "We met, and we talked, and it was epic, but... then the sun came up and reality fully set back in that he's still gone."

Davina sat up letting out a deep sigh. A hand over her stomach, she wondered if Harwin, if her dream was right. That she was having a boy. 

"But its okay." Davina assured seeing Alicent's worried face. "I'm going to be okay." she corrected. "Because I have you and the kids and Vis and... I still have Harwin." Davina brought a hand to her heart, fingers trilling over her chest.

"Aegon. Daeron." Davina requested they shuffled to a stop in front of her. "I had a talk with Harwin." They blinked back at her. "At least I think I did." Davina countered. "Harwin wants you to stop flirting with Vaera." Aegon opened his mouth to object but Davina wasnt done. "And Daeron you have his blessing to presue Haezel when she's 30."

"30?" Daeron shouted. 

"Wait he said that?" Aegon countered. "Did you tell him how much Vaera loves me? How we are meant to be together?" Aegon countered. 

"30?" Daeron demanded. "No!"

"Why are you laughing?" Aegon questioned. "This is important."

"Harwin is their dad." Davina reminded them. "He's going to be stricter with his daughters future love lives."

"But." Daeron added hopefully. 

"Keep being wonderful, respectful young men and I will give my blessing if thats what they want." Davina assured. She could almost hear Harwin shouting down from the heavens saying what are you doing? Those are my babies!
