Octavia woke up the next day to find Marcus' bassinet empty. She yawned and stretched before climbing out of bed and getting dressed. Kane was right, she did feel better today, though she felt a little guilty for letting Kane and Bellamy take care of Marcus for her when she should be the one to get up with him. "Well look who's finally awake" Bellamy stood in the doorway with Charlie in one arm and Marcus in the other. "You're getting pretty good at that" she said smiling at him. He grinned "of course I am" he stood up straight "I thought you knew I was daddy and uncle of the year." Octavia rolled her eyes and walked toward him. When she reached him she took Marcus out of his arm "Good morning sunshine" she kissed the top of his head "did you wake Uncle Bellamy up?" she asked. He grinned "actually he woke grandpa up" Bellamy replied "but he's a little busy packing at the moment, so Uncle Bellamy took over." Octavia looked at him "packing?" she asked "they're leaving?" Bellamy watched her expression "they have to go back to Mount Weather to take care of something, but they'll be back in a couple of days" he told her. "Are they moving here?" she asked him. "They want to, but they have to deal with some things at Mount Weather, and then there are you" he looked at her. "It has been nice having them here" she agreed. "That's just because he gets up and takes care of Marcus for you" Bellamy drawled shifting Charlie to his other arm. "I take care of Marcus" she half-heartedly agreed, but she knew he had a point. "I wouldn't care if he stayed" she said "I mean he is trying, I give him that" she smiled remembering Jasper's reaction to Kane stepping out on the porch last night. Bellamy snorted "I heard about your little interlude with Jasper last night" he chuckled. She threw him a dirty look "do I talk about your relationships?" she asked him, eyes narrowed. "As a matter of fact you do" he replied arching his eyebrows at her. "Oh you two" Clarke sighed walking up behind Bellamy. He turned and smiled at her "it's a good thing you love us then, huh?" he grinned kissing her softly. "Grandma wants to see Charlie before she leaves" Clarke told him reaching for her. He transferred Charlie to her arms and loped an arm around Octavia's shoulders "come on lets tell daddy good bye" he laughed. Octavia elbowed him in the ribs. "Oomph" he grunted grabbing his side. Clarke just shook her head as she turned and walked back to the living room.
"Bye mom" Clarke hugged Abby "we'll miss you." She said. "Don't worry, we'll be back soon" Abby said taking Charlie out of Clarke's arm into hers. "You be a good girl for mommy and daddy" Abby said kissing the baby's cheek. Charlotte gurgled happily. Kane stepped forward to take Marcus from Octavia "Do you need anything from Mount Weather?" he asked her. "Electricity, radios, running water…" she drawled. He laughed "anything I can actually get for you?" he asked her. She shook her head "I'm good, thanks" she told him. "You be good for mommy" he said pulling Marcus to his chest and kissing the top of his head. "Mommy will have to actually get up and take care of him now" Bellamy snickered. Octavia shot her arm back to belt him again, but he was too fast and she missed him. "These two are going to kill me" she shook her head. Kane handed Marcus back to Octavia, then looked at Bellamy "you'll keep an eye on Jasper?" he asked. Bellamy laughed and nodded "yes, I will keep an eye on Jasper" he said grinning at Octavia. She stuck her tongue out at him. Kane laughed "You're going to have fun" he glanced at Clarke. "I'll sick Olga on them" she declared. "If you need anything send someone to Mount Weather" he looked at Octavia. She nodded "I will" she said. "We're losing daylight" he turned to Abby who was having a hard time letting go of Charlie. Bellamy stepped forward and took her into his arms "tell grandma goodbye" he said holding her up. Abby sighed "I'm going to miss you guys" she looked at all of them. "Go" Clarke commanded "we'll be fine" she told her. Abby reluctantly let Kane lead her out of the house. "Clarke sighed "They need a place of their own" she said. "It is nice having them here, but I need some time away from my mom" she said. The relationship between Abby and Clarke had been strained since Abby had gotten her husband and Clarke's father floated. "I really appreciate Kane helping me with Marcus" she said "and Jasper is terrified of what happens if he does something wrong" Bellamy chimed in. Octavia took a deep breath "you are going to be a pain, aren't you?" she asked glowering at him. "When have I never been?" he asked. Olga came into the room "I will put the babies to bed if you want to get outside for a while" she said glancing at them. Clarke and Octavia nodded. Clarke, arms loaded with Atom and Austin followed Olga. Bellamy picked Rory up with his free hand, following them. "You coming?" he turned to look at Octavia who was holding Marcus. She nodded and followed them out of the room. Olga settled the babies in their cribs then shooed them out. Harper entered the house as they were leaving. She offered her services to Olga during the day to help with the babies so Olga would not get overwhelmed, while Octavia showed Clarke and Bellamy the work that had been done at the settlement while they were away.
"This place is amazing" Clarke gasped walking through the nearly finished hospital. "Kane had all these machines moved in from Mount Weather, all we need know is electricity and we can have kick-ass medical facilities here" Octavia said. "It'll be nice" Clarke agreed. "Just think" Bellamy came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her "we could have had more babies, and they would have been born here" he whispered into her ear. Clarke shivered "No thank you" she said "but this would be a great place to have some baby-free fun" she spoke softly. Octavia threw her head back "Aargh, do you two ever stop?" she drawled. "Nope" Bellamy grinned "and now that there will be no more buns in this oven" he said spreading his hand lower "we can have all kinds of fun." Octavia groaned again "you should probably wait until you see the rest of the changes first" she suggested. Clarke laughed "I think we are embarrassing your sister" she whispered against his mouth. "Me too" he said capturing her lips with his "or maybe she is just jealous" he laughed. "I'm going now" Octavia sighed "when you two are done, we'll finish the tour. "Sounds like a good plan" Bellamy agreed closing and locking the door behind her. He returned to Clarke "Now where were we?" he asked. "Right about here" she answered pushing him down onto the table and climbing on top of him. Bellamy wrapped his hands around her back and flipped her over "this is much better" he sighed capturing her lips with his.
"Did you sanitize the place" Octavia drawled when they emerged a while later. Bellamy grinned at her "now on with the tour" he said taking Clarke's hand. Octavia rolled her eyes and led them outside. The greenhouse was finished and people were already busy planting fruits and vegetables in it. They stopped at Octavia's cabin "Abby and Kane could stay here" she said. "They can stay at the house" Clarke said "I know both of them are looking forward to spending time with the babies" she said. Octavia nodded "true, but if your mom is driving you nuts…" she trailed off. Clarke scoffed "she'd be at the house all the time anyway" she said. Harper came sprinting down the hill "oh mommies" she grinned "its dinner time." Bellamy spotted Roan working on the hospital "I'll go work with Roan and catch you two later" he told them dropping a quick kiss on Clarke's lips. Octavia scowled at them "Didn't you two just…" she sighed "never mind, I'm quit" she sighed. Bellamy kissed her cheek "I love you brat, now go be a good mommy and feed your son" he said.
Bellamy entered the house a few hours later to find Olga sitting on the couch with Atom and Austin on either side of her, while Rory played on the floor. "Daddy" she stood up and ran to him. "Hello princess" he said scooping her up into his arms. "Do you need a break? " he asked Olga, "I cans sit with the kids for a while." She shook her head "I know you are up all night with them" she smiled at him "I will take the day shift." He grinned "its kind of a thing I started with her" he said sitting down on the couch next to Austin. "They each get some daddy time at night, so mommy can sleep. You have been so helpful" he said "I don't know what we would have done if you had stayed on the ark." She patted his hand "these people adore you" she said "they would have helped you out." Bellamy figured she was probably right, but even so he was glad Olga had come to help them. "My sister has a cabin down the hill, if you need a place to get away to, feel free to use it" he told her. "Thank you" she told him "I will remember that." Jasper came in the front door "Is Octavia here?" he asked. "Knock much?" Bellamy scowled at him before answering his question. "She's sleeping in her room" Bellamy said "did you need something?" he asked. "Sorry" he said "I just wanted to talk to her" he said. "I'll tell her you came by" Bellamy told him. "Hey Jasper" Octavia came into the room carrying Marcus in one arm "I'm awake, you can come in my room" she said shooting Bellamy a look that dared him to say something. "Uh, okay" he said looking to Bellamy, who shrugged. Jasper followed her into her room and shut the door. "You should be nice to that boy" Olga told him. Bellamy grinned "I like Jasper, but he has to have a healthy fear of me as her big brother" he said "because if he does anything to hurt her, It doesn't matter how much I like him."
"I don't think Bellamy is very happy that I am in here" Jasper said watching Octavia feed Marcus. Octavia rolled her eyes "He is being very over-protective lately" she sighed "he means well, but it drives me nuts." Jasper laughed "he always was over-protective of you" he pointed out "remember what happened when he spotted you and Atom kissing?" Octavia nodded "I was so mad at him" she said. "It doesn't bother you that he treats you, his friend the way he does because of me?" she asked him. He shook his head "it's a little unnerving, but no it doesn't bother me. He is just looking out for you, like he always has. Octavia pulled a blanket over her chest as Marcus unlatched from her breast. She shifted him to her shoulder and buttoned her shirt back up. She patted his back until he burped lightly then stood up and walked over to his crib and laid him in it. "Well, I hate that he acts that way toward you" she told him "I mean it's not like he doesn't know everything about you." Jasper took her hand in his "It's not about me" he looked into her eyes "it's about you" he said running his finger along her chin "he's trying to protect you, even from me" he spoke softly. "Does he need to be worried about it?" she asked suddenly breathless. "I will never intentionally do anything to hurt you" he said "but that doesn't mean I never will, and that's why Bellamy and Kane are being so hard on me in this situation." She gazed into his eyes "if you hurt me that's my problem" she said "not yours or theirs." He smiled at that "they don't see it that way, and maybe they shouldn't" he spoke softer still. The air in the room was suddenly electric. Jasper gazed into her eyes, his hand lightly caressing her chin. Octavia sucked in her breath "Jasper" she breathed leaning towards him. The door swung open "Hey O" Bellamy said "din…." Jasper and Octavia broke apart "ah sorry, Clarke said to tell you dinner is almost ready" he said and walked out of the room, this time leaving the door open.
