Undo It / Viserys Targaryen Is out now!

"Are you always this grumpy, or did I miss your 80th birthday somewhere back there?" Davina questioned. Otto gave her a pointed look.

"I'm stressed." Otto corrected. "The capital is in worst shape than I thought with Lyonel in charge." 

"I figured it would be, he was a push over." Davina agreed. "But I miss you I'm lonely, you dont want me to be lonely, I get into trouble when I'm lonely." Davina purred. "Besides the capital won't burn down if you take a night off of worrying."

"I miss you and baelon too," The past few nights otto had gotten back Baelon was already fast asleep and Davina wasnt  far behind him. "Tonight we have a date night after Baelon goes to bed how about?"

"I like that idea." Davina agreed. 

harwin and Lyonel were sent off and Rhaenyra was not happy, what about her child? What about Jace and her future little strong living inside of her? They needed Harwin, she needed Harwin.

"Dav! Dav! DAV!" That was Aegon's favorite word. Davina loved Aegon, considering she never thought she would have a child of her own she was going to take Aegon under her wing, now she had two littles- well technically many littles to take under wing because lets be real, the littles of the capital needed guidance.

"DAV!" Aegon whined. He was five years old and couldnt care less about his parents but his Aunt Davina was the best of the best. 

"Hi nugget." Davina cooed. 

"Where is Bae?" 

"He is playing with Aemond and Helaena and... maybe Jace, I dont know. WHy? I thought you were looking for me?" Davina countered. 

"I was but I like you all to myself." Aegon declared. Davina smiled down at him. 

"Well you got me." Davina agreed. 

"Davina?" Aegon grumbled turning to his mother, Alicent headed towards them but stopped as Aegon grunted his distaste back at her. "What... is wrong?" Alicent asked slowly. 

"No! SHe is mine." Aegon demanded tugging on her hand and pulling her away. Davina smiled back at Alicent as Aegon pulled her down the hall. 

"Sorry daughter." Davina offered. 

"Take him." Alicent assured. 

"Wonderful, I think we are done for today." Viserys remarked, Otto was quick to pack up today, the moons had dragged on and Davina was right. The capital would be fine if he took the night off and made time to love her and tuck Baelon in. 

"You did this." 

"Excuse you?" Davina countered. 

"You made Harwin go away." 

"He fucked up, I like Harwin. He had a type." Davina countered nonchalantly. "Try fucking your husband next time. Come on Aegon." 

"MOVE IT!" Aegon shouted at Rhaenyra. 

"You just dont want me happy." Rhaenyra countered. 

"Thats a lie." Davina corrected turning back to her. "I always want you happy. You are my family, you are a shithead but you are family and I want you to have a great life. So stop fucking up." 

"You are just brainwashed." Rhaenyra shouted as Viserys and Otto came out. "Brainwashed idiot like my father." Otto glanced to viserys as he sucked in a sharp breath. "By those Hightowers." 

"Careful now." Davina warned. "Thats my husband you are speaking of and the queen." 

"Exactly." Rhaenyra agreed. "They have infiltrated the capital." 

"If by infiltrate you mean somehow managed to get me to fall in love, sure, infiltrate my heart." 

"You can't see it." Rhaenyra hissed. 

"COME ON!" Aegon begged tugging on her hand. 

"You are a fool Davina. You used to be better than this now you just another hightowers bitch." Rhaenyra hissed.  

"And you will hold your tongue." Otto demanded. "Say what you want about me but you will not speak such ways about your aunt, she is your family, your blood, she has looked out for you and your... son." Otto reminded her. "She stuck by you after everything with Daemon and she continued to stand by your side-"

"She hasnt been by my side she has been by yours and Baelons!" 

"I have a child Rhaenyra, so do you. The world doesnt revolve around us, it never did." 

Rhaenyra blamed Otto and by extension she blamed Davina. So when little Lucerys was born and Harwin was far away, Rhaenyra's bitterness grew towards Davina to unmatched levels. 

"What are you doing?"

"Looking at you." Davina answered and Otto resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He had a hard enough time taking himself seriously these days without her adding to that insecurity. He was older than her by over ten good years but where he started slowing down Davina was still young and vibrant. She seemed timeless.

"Why?" Otto pondered.

"Because I want your attention when I thank you." Davina answered.

"For what?" Otto countered taking a step closer. She lets out an exhausted sigh.

"Taking care of me, for standing up for me, for being a good husband." Davina answered and he shrugged and look away, unable to handle the weight of her stare. "You're a good man, Otto." Her compliment has his skin crawling with goose flesh. Maybe he just as bad when it comes to accepting praise. But for her, he would be better. "Thank you Otto." he met her gaze again and Davina's smile widened. 

"You are my wife Davina, i will always stand up for you."
