Take You Back / Gwayne Hightower / Davina Targaryen

32. Fragile

Devotion/ Game of Thrones out now!

"Life is really fragile." Davina remarked. "Its... messy and loud and a pain in the ass."

"All true." Gwayne agreed.

"But viserys... hes going to survive. It took him a long time to get his head out from his woe is me but having to step in and be... the queen adjacent."

"You did great Dav." Gwayne assured.

"Thanks... but Um thats... not what Im..."

"What are you saying dav?" Gwayne questioned. "You can talk to me."

"Marry me."

"I thought you didnt want-"

"Marry me Gwayne Hightower. Marry me. What do you say?"

"I do."

With that she kissed him and wedding planning began. Davina had two requests and they were non negotiable. Carrot cake and Fury. 

Carrot cake would be served and Fury would be present. 

Gwayne agreed, he would marry her right here and now, just the two of them but the moment viserys heard he went into wedding mode. 

Viserys was so happy Davina changed her mind, first marriage and then a child. Viserys knew Davina would change her mind about children just like she changed her mind about marriage. 

Daemon growled when he saw the declaration, the heir, Davina Rose Targaryen was getting to married Gwayne fucking Hightower. Daemon burned the declarations. Every last one of them. He wanted to burn Gwayne too but Davina would come after him for that, maybe he wanted her to come after him. 


"You will live your life to better suit Davinas mood." Viserys warned. Gwayne chuckled. "Im serious."

"I know." Gwayne assured.

"Gwayne." He turned at his name even though he knew that condescending tone.

"Father." He answered.

"I heard the news, sad that my own son didnt write to tell me he was getting married." Otto offered.

"Yeah well..." gwayne shrugged. "You were the reason she broke up with me temporarily."

"Of course..." Otto agreed. "But we are past that? No?" 

"Sure." Gwayne agreed. Since Otto got what he wanted in the end after all. 

"I heard Alicent was pregnant again too, so I'm not just here for you." Otto added "Although it did get me here quicker." 

"I'm sure ALicent will be happy to hear you care." Gwayne countered sharply. 

"I would love to give my respects to Davina, where might she be?" otto questioned. 

"Probably with Aegon." Viserys cut in. 

"Your grace," Otto bowed politely. "Excuse me I wanted to see my grandson." Otto had a spring in his step as he marched past them. 

"Davina likes you." viserys remarked. "Dont fuck that up."

"I wont." Gwayne assured. 

"Dont let your father fuck it up either." Viserys recommended. 

''Thats a harder challenge." Gwayne admitted. 

"Davina, princess!" Otto declared. She turned her head slowly, her gaze cold. 

"Otto." She answered putting Aegon down. He whined immediately for her to pick him back up. 

"DAVVV!" Aegon demanded. 

"What are you doing here Otto?" 

"DAVV!" 

"I came to congratulate my son." Otto remarked. "And you of course. I can't think of a better match." 

"He is a good man, must get it after your wife." Davina decided. 

"DAVVV!" Aegon growled pulling on her dress. 

"You have a little admirer." Otto nodded to Aegon. She scooped him up kissing his cheek. 

"My little Aegon." Davina agreed. "What do you want Otto?" 

"Just happy you and Gwayne found love." Otto assured. "I should check on ALicent."

"You should." Davina agreed. "She was giving birth for hours this morning, probably done by now."

"And you tend to her children." Otto agreed. 

"I dont like doing heavy lifting." Davina warned. "I dont want children. After I die, I'm passing my crown onto Rhaenyra." Davina assured. Otto grit his teeth. "Moody little dragon that she is, but she doesnt have any hightower in her blood which in my mind makes her a perfect candidate." Davina smirked as Otto scowled. "Do give ALicent my best but she knows I dont deal with children that little or that loud until they are bigger." Otto blinked back at her. "Now go." She added shooing him away. "What did you need Aegon?" Davina questioned as Otto left. 

"Just hold me!" Aegon declared nestling into her neck. 

"I got you." Davina assured. "I got you."
