My Tears Ricochet // Alicent Hightower

55. Smart Ass, Bad Ass, With a Great Ass

"You know there's only one way to fix this."

"Kill him?" Davina pondered.

"Pay him back!" Viserys corrected.

"I was afraid you were going to say that." Davina grumbled.

"Davina-"

"He's a cheat!" Davina corrected. "I don't pay cheaters."

"Davina-"

''I will tell you whats wrong with society no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.'' Davina added nodding to Viserys. 

''Davina.'' Viserys said with a sigh.

''I'm serious.'' Davina told him

''I know you are love thats what worries me." Viserys corrected and Davina chuckled looking down at Haven.

''My children will grow up to be strong brave warriors and I think we need to bring back old traditions to show we are not to be messed with.' Davina said innocently.

''I think i prefer my goblet.'' Viserys corrected.

"Your loss." Davina mused as Alicent came up behind them. 

"A raven for you Davi." Alicent remarked holding it out. 

"My pretty little messenger." Davina declared smiling back at Alicent. If Viserys was ignorant to Rhaenyra's bastards then he was a master at ignoring the signs or he just didnt care, or he didnt notice. Alicent offered viserys a smile as she sat beside Davina. 

"Little bitch." Davina muttered. 

"A wise woman refuses to be anyones victim."

"I never claimed to be wise. Im a smart ass a bad ass with a great ass though." Davina corrected with a wink Alicent laughed out as she leaned into Davina. 

"Who is it you lost to?" Viserys questioned. 

"Taelon." Davina sneered. "I hate losing to him."

"Taelon Targaryen?" Alicent questioned. 

"The one and only." Davina agreed. "But he makes his own cards, fancies himself an artist and he is damn good but he uses fucking trick cards." 

"Haven's first word is going to be fuck." Viserys teased and Davina stuck her tongue out at him. 

"Pay him Vis. I have a bed time story to tell." Davina offered tossing the scroll aside. 

"He ravened you?" Viserys looked over the note and chuckled. 

"I lost a lot." Davina agreed as she picked Haven up. "You are always smiling." Davina remarked peppering Haven's face with kisses. "Come on, lets go to Neverland tonight."

'How do we get to neverland? Wendy asked." Davina questioned. "Well its the second star to the right and straight on till morning peter told them.' and Davina pointed out the window, Haven's gaze shifted following Davina's finger. 'You see it little loves. Second star to the right of the moon.'

'That's alot of stars mum,' Rhaegar corrected. 

'I see it.' Valyria told him confidently as they laid back down. Davina sat between them, Haven in her lap.

'How do we get to neverland? Do you know?' Davina asked and Valyria opened her mouth to answer but she didnt know, Rhaegar shook his head. 'Well it's a good thing I know then,' Davina told them. 'Faith. Trust and pixie dust!' Davina declared.

Alicent loved that every night since her little talk with harwin, Davina would tell the kids a story. ALicent loved how they all loved her. She was their little storyteller. Their mother and the love of Alicent's life.

'Pixie dust!' Davina exclaimed patting down her dress. 'Oh no!'

'What?' The twins echoed. Haven coed out staring back up at her. 

'I forgot my pixie dust!' She told them. 'We can't get to neverland without it. Best go tomorrow night.' Davina suggested. 'Come on Rhaegar into your own bed.' Rhaegar jumped up holding onto Davina's hand, Valyria reached out pulling Haven to her.  'I'll be right back.' She assured and Valyria nodded looking back out over the stars.

"See Haven, daddy is up there. In the stars." Valyria remarked Haven stared out at the stars out the window nodding. 

 'Hello your grace,' Davina whispered as she passed ALicent in the doorway. Alicent pressed a kiss to Rhaegar head as he passed. Davina tucked him in kissed his head and blew out the candles she moved back to see Alicent sitting with Haven and Valyria.

'You and your mama have the biggest hearts.' Alicent told them, 'You feel it?' Valyria nodded 'what's it sound like?'

'Ba bum ba bum!' Valyria declared putting her hand on her heart. Davina's own hand went over her heart as she watched them.

'Mama!' Haven declared smiling over at her.

"Goodnight little love." Davina whispered kissing Valyria's head as she picked up Haven. 

"Night mama." Valyria echoed.  Davina leaned into Alicent as Haven smiled up at them as they walked. 

"I can't believe she's a year old already." Davina whispered. "I can't believe it's been that long since..." 

"I know." Alicent rasped holding onto her hand.  Davina pushed open Havens' door. She kissed her head as she started to put her into her crib but Haven pointed to the window. 

"Da Sta!'' Haven declared Davina blinked back at her. Haven pointed out the window and Davina moved cautiously to the window. 

"What do you see Haven?" Davina questioned. 

"Da sta!'' 

"The stars." Alicent offered.

"Da. Da." Haven corrected.

"Daddy is in the stars." Davina agreed. 

"Ael!" Haven waved up at the sky and Davina squinted into the sky but she didnt see anything, didnt see Harwin, didnt see Aelyx. "Ni!" Haven declared waving up at the cloudless sky. 

"Night daddy, night Aelyx." Davina whispered. Haven nodded smiling back at her as she cuddled into Davina. 'Go to sleep my love i will see you in the morning.' Davina requested but Haven held tight to her. 

"Ay!" Haven countered pouting back at her. 

"You stay with me tonight." Davina pondered. 

"Ay." Haven agreed. 

"Okay, lets go then because I dont fit in your bed." Davina agreed as she headed out. Alicent stared up at the sky. Could haven have seen Harwin like Davina did. Alicent didnt remember anyone speaking of Aelyx after that first day. Could Haven see them... know they were in heaven looking down at her... ALicent didnt know how long she stared up at the sky, stars twinkled in the distance.
