Bellamy Point of view
"What are you talking about?" Clarke was arguing now.
"We had no choice but to get married. You gave me your blessing to pursue something more with him. You said it was okay to feel something, and now we've played into the councils' hands?" Clarke was nearly yelling, it was a good thing we were in a private room. I was taken aback, I knew I felt something and I suspected that Clarke did too but to hear it come out of her mouth was…surprising.
"I encouraged you to be happy, not have sex and get pregnant!" Dr Griffin exclaimed.
"What?" I yelled, completely furious.
"Mum, we haven't…" Clarke couldn't finish the sentence, her face was beaming red.
"Clarke, the blood sample doesn't lie. You and your husband here are expecting."
"Mum, I'm telling you we haven't slept together, I'm still a virgin. You can do an internal if you don't believe me." Clarke stammered, fumbling over her words. I thought that she included the virgin part for my benefit, knowing where my mind had gone. If she was pregnant and we hadn't slept together, the obvious answer was that she was with someone else, dishonouring our marriage which in end would get us all killed.
"It's okay. I believe you." Dr Griffin paused. "Bellamy, you needn't worry, the child is yours. It just wasn't conceived the traditional way."
"What are you talking about?" I asked, sitting on the bed next to Clarke.
"The Ark is dying, it's slow but it's happening. The council had an idea to improve genetics, making the next generation smarter, hopefully giving them a chance of saving the Ark, to save humanity. I came up with the medical side of things. This was before I knew that they had chosen you to experiment on." Abby breathed, taking a seat on the chair as she rubbed her temples. "When Bellamy brought you in, I injected you with a serum I had created, and when I insisted of checking over Bellamy, I knocked him out and injected him too." Dr Griffin barely even glanced at me. "The council wanted it done straight away but I was able to make them wait. I wasn't informed of the decision to do this, to either of you." Dr Griffin apologised.
"That night you thought I was dreaming!" I exclaimed to Clarke.
"What happened?" Dr Griffin asked.
"About a month ago, I woke up to what I thought was someone coming into our quarters, but I passed out before I could find out. When I woke up, I was groggy and Clarke told me I was dreaming. When I woke up again, I still felt groggy and Clarke convinced me that it was just because we were exhausted. But it wasn't, was it? We were drugged and they did a creepy procedure to knock her up." I was furious, I was beyond furious. I don't think that there were words to describe how I felt.
"Yes." Abby hung her head low, ashamed of the council.
"Mum, how could you even be a part of this? How could you have been to come to come up with what they needed?" Clarke cried.
"Bellamy, what do we do?" Clarke asked, tears stinging her eyes.
"I honestly don't think there's much we can do." I was admitting defeat.
"Well I won't just sit around here and let what happened to us to happen to others." Clarke was royally pissed, she stormed out the door, I rushed after her, pulling her back into our quarters. "Let go of me!" She screamed. I pushed her further into the room, pinning her to a wall.
"Listen to me, Princess, you can't go around in the state of mind that you're in."
"You don't tell me what I can and can't do. We can't just let the council continue on the path they're on. We have to tell everyone." She thrashed against my grasp.
"What happens then Clarke? You get floated along with our unborn child, I'll get floated, so will your mother and my sister and then all of this will have been for nothing. I don't want to think of it that way because…because damnit Clarke, I love you!" I yelled at her. "My wife, my responsibility and now you're with child and that unborn baby is my responsibility too. I will not let anything happen to either of you and if that means I have to tie you up and keep you locked in here, then so be it." I was so close we were nearly touching. I could feel her hot breath on my cheek.
