Someday You'll Know
"Commander!"
Lexa nodded her head slightly as the door opened. "Sergeant Miller."
"What brings you here?" He remained still in front of the door.
"I am in need of a favour from Abby. I was hoping to speak with her."
Miller nodded and motioned for the other guards to open the door. "May I ask why you didn't send a messenger?"
"It's a personal matter, one that I only feel comfortable attending too." Once again Miller nodded as they started to walk down one of the corridors of the newly renovated Mount Weather. "Should I be worried Sergeant?"
He shook his head no. "No, Commander, I understand you did what you had to."
"It was at the expense of your sons life."
"If he hadn't survived I may feel differently, but he did so that's not something we have to worry about." Lexa nodded as they rounded a corner. "If they had offered me my son in exchange for leaving, I would have left faster than the arc plummeted to the ground." He gave her a soft smile as he opened a door for.
Lexa looked around at the medical lab and was somewhat in awe. Never had she seen so much advanced equipment in one place let alone one room. "Abby?" The woman turned around, she looked different since the last time Lexa had seen her. Her skin looked younger, like she had managed to turn back the hands of time.
"Commander." Her gaze was questioning as Lexa moved close enough to shake her hand.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your work."
"It's fine." Abby smiled at Miller with a nod causing the man to leave. Once Miller left Abby turned back towards Lexa. "What brings you here? I'm sure it's important." Her tone wasn't mad but it was reserved.
Lexa nodded her head. "I am in need of your help. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."
"I'm not sure how I can help you but I told you I owed you a favour."
"There is someone in need of medical attention that my healers can not seem to help."
"Is this person here?"
Lexa nodded, her expression as stoic as ever. "She is waiting outside with my guards."
"I have some time if you'd like to bring her in, I'll examine her and see if I can figure out what's wrong. We can talk more about it then."

Fifteen minutes later Lexa walked back into the room, this time with an elderly woman by her side. She helped the woman to sit down as Abby turned her attention towards them. Stunned by how gentle and soft Lexa was being with her. She was so used to seeing her be stoic and emotionless. It was clear that whomever this woman was to her, she meant a lot. Enough for Lexa to risk her life by walking into a place where half it's inhabitants hated her.
"This is Alexandria, she is the one in need of help. I have seen what is ailing her before but our people have never really been able to cure it."
Abby nodded and moved forward. "Hi I'm Abby."
The elderly woman smiled warmly despite how ill she looked. "You'll have to excuse my granddaughter, she can be too hard at times. Thank you for seeing me."
"Granddaughter?"
"Yes, Alexandria is my mothers mother."
Abby couldn't help the shocked expression that took over her face. "It's not a problem but let's see what we can do for you."
An hour later Abby emerged from the lab to find Lexa sitting perfectly still in a chair just outside the doors. She stood up once she saw Abby walk towards her.
"She has what we call pneumonia. It's a bad case, you're lucky you got her here when you did. She's severely dehydrated and she'll need to stay here for a while. I have her set up with an IV drip to replenish her fluids, we'll take it from there." Lexa was thankful that Abby knew her demeanor and that she just gave her the information she wanted without being polite about it. "You're welcome to stay here, I'm sure we can come up with a room for you."
Lexa shook her head. "I better not, we both know how quickly information gets around. If anyone recognizes me it will get back to Clarke."
"It wouldn't be a bad thing for her to see you, I'm sure you both have a lot to talk about."
"There is nothing for us to talk about. I made my choice and I stand by it. She doesn't understand it, at least not the way I do, if she had been in my place it would have been different."
Abby's look turned more stern. "That's not what I'm referring too but I understand you have more important things on your mind. You can go in and see her now. If you need anything at anytime we're apartment 303. I will keep your presence here quiet, but I won't lie to my daughter if she asks me outright."
"Thank you, Abby. You still did not have to do this."
"You saved my daughter from this mountain, this is the least I can do."

A/N: I know it's a short start and really it'll be more fluffy than anything else but I decided to take two ides and roll them into one so we'll see where this goes together. Hope you liked the beginning, hopefully more to come very soon.
