My Tears Ricochet // Alicent Hightower

51. Fearless

Haven sucked happily at Davina's teat while she traced a hand over his back. Her little piece of heaven, her little piece of Harwin. Eat, sleep, shit. What a life. 

"Your daddy liked my tits too." Davina remarked as she shifted in bed. Haven stared back at her as the door opened a crack. 

"Oh, I'm sorry." Alicent declared pulling the door closed.

"Are you okay Alicent?" Davina countered. She focused on her feet as she nodded. "Whats wrong?" Davina countered. "Close the door please, rather not have everyone getting a peep show." Davina waggled her eyebrows. 

"Right, I'm sorry." Alicent agreed. 

"What's wrong?" Davina questioned. "Are you pregnant again? Gods I didnt think Viserys had it in him." Davina murmured. 

"No. Gods no. Not since Daeron." Alicent corrected. 

"Then tell me whats going on in that pretty little head." Davina requested. Haven slapped and pinched at Davina's chest maneuvering to the other teat before her gummy mouth clamped on. Haven was gnawing and sucking away for her milk.

"Just want to give you space. I know this has been hard. I dont want to make you feel like..." Alicent stopped herself as her feet twisted on the floor. 

"Come here." Davina requested patting the bed. Alicent moved hesitantly towards her. "What was that thing Criston liked to say when Davina says come you sprint." Davina recalled smirking back at her. Alicent met her gaze. "Come here." Davina held out a hand and Alicent came sitting beside her. "Sit. Speak... good Alicent." Davina teased but it made Alicent smile as she leaned into Davina. Haven burped giggling up milk breath at Davina. Her head tipped back, still exposed as she ran her fingers along Haven's back when there was a knock at the door.

"But a moment." Alicent called out. "Let me help you." Davina sat up putting Haven in her lap as Alicent helped her lace back up her dress. 

"Mama?" Draeya questioned peering in. "Can we go on the egg hunt?"

"Sounds like a perfect day for it." Davina agreed glancing out at the storm clouds, hearing the pitter patter of rain. 

Dragon egg hunt Alicent did jump at all the dragons and clung to Davina nervously as they walked through the pits. Davina chuckled out as Alicent held tightly to her.

It was perfect Draeya decided.

"I dont know if any eggs are in here." Davina remarked. Haven was wide awake strapped to Davinas chest staring around at every thing. Every shadow every sound drew her eye.

"My fierce little warrior." Davina coed.

"Shes not scared?" Alicent whispered.

Haven coed happily as Fury got closer. Alicent jumped back hiding behind Davina.

"Scaredy cat." Davina whispered. "Hey baby boy. Hellfire where are you handsome?"

"Dont call more of them." Alicent rasped. Davina bumped her hips back into Alicent as Hellfire came strutting up.

"Theres my handsome boy." Davina declared. "I feel you shaking." Davina remarked with a laugh. 

"She's just like dad." Draeya decided and Alicent didnt know if she should smile or cry. 

"She means your fear of dragons not your masculine bearded figure." Davina clarified. 

"Thanks Davi." Alicent choked out. 

"Mama!" Rhaegar declared holding up what he thought was a dragon egg. 

"That's a rock Rhaegar." Aegon corrected. Rhaegar stared down at it before throwing it over his shoulder. 

"You saw nothing." Rhaegar declared. 

"Ow!" Daeron shouted. "Why are you throwing things!"  Aegon burst out laughing. Alicent jumped at the thunder while Vaera was holding onto Valyria's hand as they got deeper in the pits. 

"How are you so fearless? Were you born fearless?" Alicent pondered. 

"Probably." Davina agreed. "Mother wanted to take the devil and I riding the day after we were born, I think she did and didnt tell father but I was a moon or two Viserys recalled and once I got a taste of dragons there was no stopping me." 

"I wish I would have known you when you were younger."

"You werent born yet." Davina reminded her with a wink.

"You will love them both. You are going to protect them right Viserys? Keep them safe?" Alyssa had asked her son, Viserys.

"Of course." Viserys agreed. He smiled down at little Davina she had the prettiest eyes and the biggest smile. He reached into her crib and she grabbed at his finger.

"I think we should take her riding." Alyssa suggested and Viserys and his father Baelon stared back at her. "What? A few moons old they should be learning."

"Mother." Viserys said with a huff. "She is so little."

"You don't care about your brother's safety?" Alyssa countered kissing Viserys head. Viserys looked down to Davina her hand tightly gripping his finger. "She certainly likes you."

So Alyssa had taken Davina flying. Her eyes were wide and her mouth gaped open. Her little hands flew up happily as Alyssa held tight to her. She coed and babbled bouncing happily. Alyssa had never seen a child so young so attentive on a dragon. Viserys never liked riding with her when he was younger. He would cry and scream when they brought him anywhere near the dragons. But davina. Her little Davina was going to be a dragon rider.

Baelon stared up at them nervously as they descended before him.

"Oh, don't look so surprised." Alyssa told him as he reached up for Davina.

"How did she do?" Baelon asked and davina started screaming the moment she was off the dragon. "She hated it." Baelon declared. "I told you she was too-"

"She loved it!"" Alyssa corrected. "She had so much fun."

"Then why is she crying?" Baelon countered. Davina whimpered reaching out and Alyssa took her from Baelon. She reached past her mother to her dragon Meleys. "I think she likes her very much." Alyssa countered.

"She is going to be just like you." Baelon whispered kissing her softly.

"And she is." Viserys declared once he finished the story. 

"So yes, always fearless and always dragon obsessed." Alicent agreed. 

"Yep." Davina agreed. "I also used to love Viserys, and think he was amazing." she mused glancing to Viserys. "Wait, you still are amazing." 

"Thank you Davina." Viserys agreed as she kissed his cheek. 

"I do, I do love my big brother." Davina declared.
