Two weeks had passed since Clarke had found out she was pregnant. In those two weeks, Bellamy made sure to tell Octavia, who like Bellamy was over the moon about the whole thing. Every time she got anywhere near Clarke, she would talk to Clarke's stomach. Clarke sighed and shook her head, she was glad their baby would be surrounded by lots of people who would love and care for it. "Good morning beautiful" Bellamy said dropping a kiss on her lips. "How are my girls today?" he asked. Clarke rolled her eyes, Bellamy was so sure they were having a girl, and he'd started saying good morning to 'his girls' every day. Clarke had gotten used to being pregnant. She still had to deal with the morning sickness, but other than that she'd been feeling fine. Abby called in on the comlink at least once a week, asking how Clarke was doing and offering advice. "Hungry" Clarke laughed "your girls are hungry." He laughed "lucky for you, Jasper is still feeling guilty and sneaking Raven extra food" he said handing her a handful of pouches and bags. Clarke and Bellamy still slept in their quarters, but it wouldn't be too much longer before they would need the bigger bed and extra space the chancellor's suite offered. It was unclear if Roan would take the room across the hall from Raven, or just move in with her. He spent a lot of time there anyway, though Clarke knew for a fact they two of them had barely past the stage in their relationship where they were doing much more than kissing. Partly because Raven felt ready for more, but Roan was still holding back. Raven joked that he was doing it because he enjoyed torturing her, but she was not complaining too much. Indra would bunk with her daughter, and Octavia was going to take the second bedroom in the chancellor's suite so she could be around to help Bellamy and Clarke with the baby when it came.
Raven walked into Clarke and Bellamy's room, "so have you decided when you are moving into the chancellors suite?" she asked. "Soon" Bellamy answered "This bed is going to be too small for both me and her belly" he chuckled. Clarke smacked him on the arm "you helped with this too" she said pointing to her belly. "Why, are you counting the days until your true love is just across the hall? " she teased. Raven rolled her eyes "just wondering" she answered "I'm going to miss having you two across the hall" she sighed. "Bright side" Bellamy laughed "the chancellors suite has a locked door." Raven smiled sweetly "It wont be me keeping you guys up at night" she reminded him. "It'll be this beautiful baby" she laughed, touching Clarke's stomach. "I will however be happy to spoil it rotten" she offered. "you and everybody else" Bellamy grumbled. The whole ark was excited about the prospect of having a baby around. The Earth born arkadians had already been making baby clothes, leaving them at the door to Bellamy and Clarke's room. "Just think, we'll have all kinds of babysitters" Clarke chipped in.
"How did I know I'd find you in here?" Roan asked walking into the room stepping up behind Raven. "any idea when you guys want to move into the suite?" he asked. "Probably pretty soon" Bellamy said "This bed is getting very uncomfortable for Clarke." Roan nodded "We can clear out in a day or so If you want to plan on it" he offered. Bellamy looked to Clarke for her input. She nodded "sounds good to me" she said stifling a yawn. That was the one thing she disliked greatly about being pregnant, she was always tired. "We need to let little momma get some sleep" Raven bid them good bye and walked out of the room, with Roan right behind her.
"I hate being tired all the time" Clarke grumbled "Hey" Bellamy said caressing her cheek 'you have a right to be tired. You have a passenger who is taking half your nutrients. Besides, once she gets her, sleep is something you will wish for" he told her. He sat on the bed and held his hand out. Clarke took his hand. Wrapping one arm around her, he pulled her close. "When Octavia was born, she would not sleep at night and barely during the day" he told her. "You're very sure its going to be a girl, huh?' she asked. Bellamy nodded "and I even have ideas for names" he told her.
Raven was grinning as she left. "You're enjoying this aren't you?" Roan asked taking her hand in his as they walked to her room. "I am" she replied "I get to be an honorary aunt. Did I tell you that Bellamy is sure they will be having a girl?" she asked. Roan smiled at her. "What?" she asked. "You're going to miss them" he said tracing a small circle on the back of her hand. Raven nodded "yeah I am" she sighed. "You know there are other quarters, close to the chancellor's quarters" he told her "bigger ones…" he trailed off. She smiled up at him "you don't like these small quarters" she chuckled "I knew it." He put his hands at her waist "They are very small" he agreed "but that wasn't exactly what I was thinking" He said bending to kiss her. Raven leaned into him "do tell sire" she whispered. "What else are you thinking?" she asked. "Ahem" Octavia stood behind them. Sighing, Raven leaned into him her head on his chest "Yes" Roan asked looking over Raven's shoulders. "Indra and I are just wondering when we should start packing?" she asked. "Well?" he looked down at Raven. "Okay, let's go check out these quarters you are talking about" she said pulling away from his chest. "Tell Indra, I will get back to her shortly, there may be a change of plans" he instructed. Octavia nodded and headed off in the other direction.
Taking her hand, Roan led her to a suite she didn't realize was there. "How did you know about these?" she asked him. He chuckled "some of us actually live in more than two rooms" he told her leading her into the suite. Raven looked around, no wonder he was so against her small quarters. This place was a palace compared to where she slept. It also had two bedrooms, plus a common room, not to mention its own shower and bath area. Roan laughed at her "now do you understand why I do not like your tiny quarters?" he asked. Raven nodded "Even on the ark, I never had this much space" she said in awe. Roan cringed, the more he heard about her life on the ark. The more he wished he could have known her then. Her life would have been way different. "Don't do that" she said looking at him. "Do what?" he asked. "Whenever I talk about my life on the ark, your whole demeanor changes, you scowl, and you cross your arms in front of you." He looked at her "I cant help it" he said "it makes me crazy to think that no one took care of you, even as a little girl." She walked over to him, placing a hand on his arm, "thank you, I appreciate that" she spoke softly "but the things I experienced growing up and then coming down to earth made me who I am today." She reminded him. "Maybe I would have turned out the same, maybe not," she continued "in the end it doesn't matter either way. I survived and I learned how to take care of myself." Roan dropped his hands to her waist "I still don't have to like it" he declared "and you will never have to be that little girl again." She sighed "I know" she said "and I appreciate the too" she whispered gazing up at him. "So, what do you think?" he asked "we could stay here. You would have your own room and I mine. Plus you're practically next door to Clarke and Bellamy" he pointed out. Raven grinned "let's do it" she smiled. "I'll let Indra and Octavia know" he said "you can tell Clarke and Bellamy. " Raven sighed "Isn't Indra going to feel slighted?" she asked. Roan didn't want to sound arrogant, but he also knew Indra would obey without question as she always had "Go ahead" Raven grinned "just say it" she sighed. He grinned at her "She will do as her king requests and without question, but.." he paused "she also wants to be closer to Gaia, so she also gets what she wants." Raven chuckled "You of course realize your highness that I will not EVER be that obedient" she replied. He feigned surprise "you wouldn't?" he asked dropping a quick kiss on her lips. One of the things that made her attractive to him the most about Raven was her independent spirit. Some days it was also the thing that drove him the craziest about her. Sharing a suite with her would definitely be challenging especially given his growing attraction to her, but knowing she would be near her closest friends would make her happy, which would make him happy.
