45 minutes later Clarke was in the hospital. Octavia and Lexa were in the waiting room, Lexa watching as Octavia paced back and forth in front of her until Abby finally came out and explained that Clarke would be fine and that she'd had an ectopic pregnancy, meaning that the baby wasn't in the uterus, but in the fallopian tube. And this was the cause of the pain and bleeding.
Clarke had never admitted to anybody, but the idea of having a baby had really started to grow on her and she'd become a little excited thinking about her baby. Whether it was a boy or girl. If they would be athletic or artsy. And now that had all been ripped away from her. She could tell when she woke up by the looks on her parents face that they weren't going to tell her that everything was going to be fine.
Jake had sat down next to her, pulling her to him as the tears spilled from her eyes. Abby told her that she was gonna go talk to Octavia and Lexa and then bring them to her. Clarke had simply nodded into her dad's shoulder. She didn't even look up when her got up and two pairs of arms engulfed her.
"I don't think she should back so soon." Octavia said quietly to Lexa as they sat on the sidelines of the soccer practice just over a week later.
"I'm pretty sure if she wasn't supposed to be here that her mom, the doctor would've said something or done something." Lexa said back, watching as Clarke stepped in front of Harper, bumped her really hard and took off with the ball towards the goal. She managed to swerve through the defense and knock a few of the girls down before scoring the ball. The only difference was the fact that she didn't get all excited and start jumping around like she normally did, instead she just returned the high five Monroe offered before making her way back to the center.
"Maybe this is good for her, it's her way to distract herself-" Octavia interrupted her own sentence as she grimaced at the sight of Clarke getting hit really hard in her left, braced knee. She stumbled a little bit and managed to stay on her feet, but Kane saw the look of pain on her face and literally had to force her to the sidelines where Octavia and Lexa already were getting the ice pack ready for her knee. Clarke very reluctantly walked over and sat down, taking off her brace and tossing to the side, shivering slightly as Octavia placed the ice pack on her knee, "Nice going, Griffin."
Clarke rolled her eyes, "It's really nothing. I've had far worse and still played."
Octavia in turn rolled her eyes, "That's what got you in that brace."
"No, the fact that I have terrible knees got me in this brace."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Octavia sighed.
"I'll still haven't paid you back for 8th grade." Clarke muttered, sending a smirk at Octavia that basically told her to shut her trap.
Octavia and Lexa rolled their eyes at each other, "You won't be doing that today." Octavia mumbled.
"You know, I don't just kick soccer balls at practice." Clarke shot back.
Octavia turned to Lexa, "We're going to your house from now on. I don't want to risk a sneak attack as soon as we walk in the door."
"Mom, she's acting like nothing happened." Octavia told her mom as she took a seat at the island. Aurora turned around from stirring the spaghetti.
"Honey, it's only been a week." Aurora stated, "Now, you know her better than I do, but I'm sure if she needed someone to talk to about it, she'd talk to you."
Octavia sighed, "She keeps saying that she's fine and that I should back off. But when she's at practice I can clearly tell that she's not fine. Even coach has started to notice something going on and he doesn't even know what happened."
Aurora set the spoon down and walked around the counter, putting her arm around her daughter's shoulders, "I know you're worried about her, but do not push. Just be her best friend."
"Wow, she's cute, Clarke. Good choice." Clarke wanted to take Lexa and drag her right out of the front door. Jake Griffin found great joy in embarrassing his children, especially when it came to his daughters dating lives.
"Oh my God, Dad, seriously?" Clarke squealed, "You're so embarrassing and we're not dating."
"Well, you should be." Jake said, "Come on, Clarke, she's cute. And there's no Octavia like normal so..."
"Honey, will you stop embarrassing her. She doesn't date everyone that she brings home." Abby said, emerging from the kitchen and smacking her husband's arm before smiling at the two girls, "Hi, Lexa. Clarke you might want to book it upstairs before your face turns any redder."
On that note, Clarke stuck her tongue out at her dad, smiled at her mom and then grabbed Lexa's arm to drag her upstairs to her room. Clarke tossed her bag down and then sat down on her bed to get her shoes off, "I warned you."
Lexa shrugged with a laugh, "I know, but trust me, mine are just as bad."
"Do your assume your dating someone just because they're cute?"
Lexa raised her eyebrow, "Are you saying I'm cute?"
Clarke shrugged, "I never said that."
"Is that why you're face is red?" Lexa asked.
"My face has been red since the second we walked in the door. Don't get any ideas." Clarke said, jokingly.
"You think I'm cute." Lexa said, gently sticking her elbow in Clarke's ribs. She smiled even more at the glare she received from the blonde. "You don't have to deny it."
Clarke fell back on the bed with a groan, "I should've just let you go to your own house."
"And let me be in an empty house?" Lexa asked with a fake pout.
Clarke replied by tossing a pillow at her, "Shut up."
Lexa just tossed the pillow back and fell onto the bed next to Clarke. "Is this what you do when you get home everyday?"
"Pretty much."
"You're so boring." Lexa groaned. "Don't you watch Netflix or something?"
"I do need to get caught up on Grey's Anatomy." Clarke said, turning on her side to retrieve her TV remote from the night stand.
"You're like the only person who's behind on that show."
Clarke raised her eyebrow at Lexa, "You watch Grey's Anatomy?"
"Don't look so surprised."
"Don't spoil it." Clarke shot back.
"Who do you think I am?"
"I'm friends with Octavia. I have trust issues. That girl doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut to save her own damn life, especially when it comes to tv shows."
"Well, I'm a nice person and will do my best to keep my mouth shut."
"Good-"
"You're only on season 7?!" Lexa shrieked as she watched in horror as Clarke selected season 7.
Clarke rolled her eyes and played the episode, "Oh, shut up."
"Oh my god, Dad!" Charlotte, Clarke's twelve year old sister groaned, throwing her hands up as she passed Clarke's room, "He is not my boyfriend."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." He called after her as she dashed off to her room.
