Take You Back / Gwayne Hightower / Davina Targaryen

14. Big Baby

"What?" Rhaenyra demanded.

"Yeah, I was just as confused, can you hand me that-" Davina reached back. "never mind, I got it." she shoved the dragon clip into her hair.

"You?" Rhaenyra declared.

"Try and sound more supportive." Davina insisted.

"I just dont understand why." Rhaenyra countered.

"Because Viserys loves me and thinks I have grown as a person." Davina offered.

"But you..."

"Careful niece, I am to be heir," Davina warned.

"I just dont understand." Rhaenyra whispered. "Why not me?"

"You are young."

"And you are old." Rhaenyra agreed.

"Stop the sass, bring it up with your father." Davina instructed.

So thats what rhaenyra did.

"Why aunt davina?" Rhaenyra demanded. "Shes a woman."

"Yes. Something I thought you would appreciate." Viserys agreed.

"Shes not your child. Shes your sister."

"And you are a child still rhaenyra. You show a lack of respect for the council and no respect for others time. Everything is about you-"

"What of davina? She is selfish. She killed two husbands!" Rhaenyra shouted.

"Accidents." Viserys corrected. Rhaenyra rolled her eyes. "And davina had matured since-"

"No she hasnt!" Rhaenyra demanded.

"Rhaenyra please. This is my decision. Dont make this harder on yourself."

"Wow, should I bow?" Gwayne questioned.

"You know now that im going to be heir I need a suitable husband." Davina remarked. "I dont think the realms will accept another hightower." She mused.

"Where is my boss dragon bitch that takes no shit and doesnt listen to others?" Gwayne countered.

"Im a changed woman in the past day." Davina teased. Gwayne chuckled wrapping his arms around her.

"Remember us little people when you get your crown." Gwayne requested.

"You have any inclination of being king?"

"No." Gwayne admitted. "I think we established that I am not my father."

"Yes. Thank Gods for that." Davina agreed. "Help me get ready."

"I will gladly help you get unready." Gwayne countered kissing along her neck. 

"If you start kissing my neck you might as well take your pants off." Davina warned. She laughed as she heard him messing with his buckle. "Any other time, but right now I need to be named Heir, gods you are such a bad influence!" SHe mused. He kissed her neck again. "I think your father is going to like me now." 

"Princess Davina, you look beautiful." Alicent remarked. Davina did a little spin. 

"Thank you, I dont think I can ride in this without flashing everyone." Davina mused. "But it works for walking down an aisle." 

"I wanted to thank you for, taking such good care of Aegon." Alicent added. "He really adores you."

"Well he is my nephew and I'm sorry if you think I'm stealing his throne." Davina admitted. 

"What mother would want their child to be king?" Alicent countered and Davina stared back at her. "I'm glad he named you. I dont want that burden on Aegon for the rest of his life." Davina nodded. 

"It's a heavy crown to carry at 1 and a half." Davina agreed. 

"Davina are you ready?" Viserys questioned. 

"Fury!" Davina called out and he came running. "There is my baby, you get to be king when I'm dead." Davina glanced back at Viserys. "Changing your mind?" 

"No." Viserys assured. 

"Fury is my baby, my heir. He is very responsible." Davina assured. Viserys glanced to Fury as he stared back at them. Smiling it seemed at Davina. 

"Human child Davina." Viserys requested. 

"I dont want children, harboring such a thing inside me and pushing it out, push, push, push, disgusting." Davina corrected. "Nope, Fury is the only baby for me."

"We can discuss later..." Viserys offered gently. 

'"Nothing to discuss- oh Rhaenys is here to speak for her husband." Davina noted. "Corlys is busy being a big baby."

"Davina," Viserys chuckled shaking his head. 

"I'm glad Rhaenys is here." Davina assured. "I'm also glad we did this above the pits so I can see Fury, you know he likes to be apart of these things." Davina added. 

"I know you two are inseparable." Viserys agreed, "Go on, get into position." Davina smiled back at Gwayne as he took his place next to his family. 

"I Rhaenys Targaryen, acting voice of driftmark, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Davina. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I swear this by the old gods and the new.'' Rhaenys nodded to Davina, they had never quite been friends but Rhaenys was glad a woman would finally get to sit the throne, even if it was only a dream, the men of the realms would never actually allow it, not with Aegon born, it seemed a good idea now since Aegon was a baby but Rhaenys knew that when the time came, Davina would never truly sit the throne. 

'' I, Lord Hobert Hightower, Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, and Voice of Oldtown, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Davina. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I swear this by the old gods and the new.''

"This is fun." Davina decided. 

'I, Boremund Baratheon... promise to be faithful to King Viserys...'

"Rhaenyra was being a grump," Davina whispered back to Viserys. "I think I need her to promise to not try and kill me for this crown." Viserys tensed. "I'm serious, she was mad." 

"I know." Viserys agreed. "But she is not ready for such power, she never will be... I see that now. I have always seen it." He admitted. 

''I, Rickon Stark, Lord of Winterfell...''

"Yet I am?" She murmured back to him. 

"You are. I have seen a change, but Davina promise me you wont fall back into old habits." Viserys begged. 

"Daemon you mean." Davina grumbled his name. Viserys gave a tight nod. 

"He will want you back for the crown and nothing more." 

"Wow way to diminish me, Brother." Davina turned to face him Rickon stepped down. 

''I believe in you Davina." Viserys assured.  "I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name... King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm, do hereby name... Davina Targaryen Princess of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.''

Daemon was being a moody bitch, it was something he was good at. But when daemon found out davina was to be Viserys heir he of course wanted her back. Just as Viserys predicted. Viserys hoped Davina wasnt foolish enough to take him back.
