Renegade// Criston Cole / Davina Targaryen

8. Irony

"Slow down, since Aemond was born I'm only ever half awake when I'm not with him." Davina corrected. 

"I'm pregnant." Rhaenyra repeated. 

"Slow down again because Laenor has been overseas for the past... long ass time." Davina remarked. 

"I'm... pregnant." Rhaenyra repeated, slower. 

"Yeah, I hear you, I hear the words I see you speaking them but you are telling me this and not my brother because...." Davina questioned. 

"Because its not going to be looking very Velaryon and you have Aemond who is-"

"A perfect little boy that I love more than life and am not afraid to slit throats of anyone that calls him that awful word." Davina agreed. 

"Exactly." Rhaenyra agreed.  "So how did you keep people from talking?" 

"Simple. I strike fear into people." Davina remarked. 

"And I don't." Rhaenyra realized. 

"Yep, but lucky for you daddy dearest loves you so much that when this little nugget comes out he is going to squash any rumors and I will to because I love you." Davina reminded her. 

"You would do that?" 

"You are family, you are my blood, this baby will be too." Davina reminded her. "May not be velaryon blood in their veins but they will be Targaryen and thats all that really matters." 

"Thank you Auntie." 

"Yep no problem... Harwin's the father right?" 

"How did you..." Rhaenyra rasped looking around. 

"Because I would fuck him and you have good tastes." Davina answered honestly. 

"Fuck." Rhaenyra declared. 

"Clearly." Davina agreed. 

"It just sort of happened..." 

"I bet, little dick easily fallen onto, stumbled into his cock did you?" Davina mused. "Like oh, we were both naked and then, wow his cock was just inside of you. Happens all the damn time. Don't worry about it." Rhaenyra bit her lip trying to keep back the laughter. "Happened to me just the other day... wait nope that was a dream I had... now I have a baby with a man I would like to castrate." 

"Lets hope I dont want to castrate Harwin after this." Rhaenyra offered. 

"Yeah, that would be a bummer, he's eye candy." Davina agreed. 

"You are shameless." 

"i'm lonely, I havent gone this long without sex in... Gods its been... since I first started and I was just a kid then... Gods!" Davina declared. "I'm living vicariously through you, give me details, all the dirty details, describe every inch of that man."

"Really?"

"Yeah," Davina agreed leaning back in the gardens and closing her eyes, her head tipped back the sun hitting her face. 

"He was... large." Rhaenyra offered. 

"How would you know? Compared to what? Compared to who?" Davina questioned. 

"Larger... Like a... cucumber?" Rhaenyra offered. Davina stifled a laugh. 

"Oh, fuck that veggie." Davina chuckled out. Her shoulders shaking through her laughter. 

"And... he was..."

"yeah?" Davina urged. 

"That thing with his..." she made a V going down on her own hips. 

"The V, yes that fucking sexy." Davina agreed. 

"And... his beard... it... he... did something with it... like... down there..." Rhaenyra offered awkwardly. 

"The beard." Davina agreed. "That was nice." 

"What?" 

"I fucked Harwin... did I forget to tell you that? Somewhere between the devil being the devil and me being an idiot." Davina remarked. 

"You fucked my baby daddy?" Rhaenyra hissed. 

"Dont worry I dont have any inclinations of fucking him again... at least not in the near future. I have my sights set on someone else." 

"Who?"  Rhaenyra demanded. 

"Princesses."  Davina opened her eyes seeing an upside down Criston and Harwin. 

"We were just talking about you two." Davina remarked.

"No we weren't..." Rhaenyra's words faded as Davina met her gaze. "You see the irony?"

"Of course I do." Davina agreed as she got up. "I told you to go for it then and I'm telling you the same now." The men shared a confused look. "Rhaenyra you are going to be great mother. Tell Viserys I'm not a good secret keeper."

"You're pregnant?" Harwin choked out. 

"Thanks Dav." Rhaenyra grumbled. 

"Come on Criston, they have some... things to unpack." Davina hooked her arm in his. 

"Rhaenyra and I have the same body count." Davina realized. Half the same men too, she thought with a smirk glancing back at Rhaenyra and Harwin. 

"Body count?" Criston questioned. "Like... kill counts?"

"No, that number is a lot higher." Davina corrected. She had been so in love with Daemon, she loved him and only him for so many years and then she sort of fell for Harwin for a time before falling back into Daemon again. But she wouldnt trade Aemond for anything. She loved him. It was a mistake with Daemon but Aemond would never be a mistake, he was her reason for getting up in the morning, the smile on her face. 

"Well... here you are." Criston remarked gesturing to her chambers. 

"Here I am." Davina agreed. "You going to do some late night training that I can watch from up here?" She pondered. 

"I might." Criston agreed. "But if not... good night davina." 

"See you tomorrow Criston," davina remarked.

"Thanks for the warning." Criston answered and she turned to face him. He smiled in return saluting her.

"You're a shit, Cole."
