AN: Hey guys! surprise surprise. Another chapter, though this is a little short. Seems like inspiration hit me this weekend more than I thought and I woke up today wanting to write some more. Here I leave you the next chapter. We see more of Woods-Griffin clan and some of Reyes-Blake struggles. we're about to go in deep there. At least our Clexa seems to be in good terms right now.

Disclmaimer: I don't own any of this charries, they all belong to CW except for little Jona and now Katie and the journey they all are here :)

Chapter 10

A few days had passed since their dinner date at Chuck-e-cheese and she was happy to say that Lexa had gone back to her place every day since that time after work to play with Jona for a little while. It was adorable the way the two of them were bonding, and it warmed her heart even more every time Lexa would look up and invite her to play with them. They had played with Leggos, they had played a couple of board games that Jona could play and even set up a few puzzles Lexa had bought him. If you had asked her a few months ago if she ever expected to be where they were now, Clarke would say definitely not.

During Jona's short life Clarke had always thought it would be just the two of them, she never expected Lexa to come back and even less to be such an active part in their lives. It warmed her heart to see how much Lexa loved Jona and how much she was making an effort to be present. She could see the big smile Lexa would give their son every time he would call her 'momma' and she would see how happy it made her.

And every night Lexa would stand in front of her on the front porch, and every night they would flirt a little more. Lexa would hold her hand as they said goodnight and every night they would share a soft kiss before Lexa would step back and drive away. They were starting to get even more at ease around each other and every day Lexa would be even more affectionate.

Now it was Sunday morning and Lexa had showed up on her doorstep with a big smile and supplies for making pancakes. Clarke had been really happy to see the other girl, a little embarrassed since her pajamas had Mickey Mouse on them and she was wearing an old college shirt, her hair was in a messy bun she was wearing absolutely no make-up. But at least Lexa was wearing sweats and a hoody, her hair was in a loose braid and she had her glasses on.

"You look cute" Lexa leaned in and kissed her lips gently, lingering for a second longer but before Clarke could take the kiss further Lexa was leaning back.

"You're one to talk. Nice glasses" Clarke shook her head and stepped back, giving the brunette room to get in

"Jona, momma is here!" Clarke called up the stairs to her son who was still in his room.

A second later Clarke heard him run out of his room then make his way down as she and Lexa walked further into the house towards the kitchen.

"Have you guys had breakfast yet?"

"No… we hadn't been up for that long. It's only nine, Lex"

Lexa chuckled and shook her head, pulling all the supplies out of the bag

"I didn't wake you up, did I?"

"No, I was just about to come down and make something for breakfast"

"Momma!" Jona ran into the room and threw himself against Lexa's legs

"Hi, baby" she wrapped her arm around him before turning and leaning down to pick him up "Do you want pancakes for breakfast?"

Jona beamed and nodded his head "can we have bacon, too?"

Lexa's eyes widened as a smile spread on her face "I think that's a great idea… Clarke, do you have some bacon?" Clarke nodded and moved to the fridge, pulling out the bacon and placing it next to all the supplies Lexa had brought

"Why don't you go watch some tv while Lexa and I make the pancakes, baby?"

"Mkay" Jona kissed Lexa's cheek before the brunette placed him back on the floor making his way to the living room. That kid had really caught Lexa's heart

"Okay then" Lexa said, standing up and turning to set everything in place to start their cooking "Pancakes… I brought some chocolate chips. Thought we could dump some in the batter" Lexa grinned innocently at Clarke and the blonde chuckled and shook her head

"You really want to eat chocolate this early in the morning?"

Lexa scoffed playfully as she opened the bag with the pancakes flour "it's never too early for chocolate"

Clarke chuckled and shook her head once again, she leaned closer and kissed Lexa on the cheek "don't let our son hear you say that, please"

Lexa laughed and nodded, agreeing with Clarke as the blonde got the milk from the fridge and the eggs before the two started making the pancakes.

Raven had woken up about ten minutes ago, she had stayed up late last night working on the design of her next project and had only woken up because she really had to pee and the bed beside her had long gone cold. After checking the time she knew it would be better if she just got up, Octavia was already up and moving around their apartment, cleaning and separating their clothes in different piles for laundry.

"Good morning baby" said Raven, coming out of their room and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Morning" said Octavia, she was looking at her phone and tapping away with a smile in place

"Who are you texting?"

"Oh… just Katie" Octavia waved dismissively before continuing separating their clothes

"Oh… alright" Raven didn't give it much thought and moved to the kitchen, going through their fridge and noting that they really needed to do grocery shopping "what do you want for breakfast?"

"Uh… I'm not hungry, thanks"

At that Raven frowned. Octavia not hungry? This was new.

"What? Did you already have breakfast or something?" Raven poked her head out of the kitchen to look at her girlfriend, though her back was towards her and she was texting once again

"Uhm, yeah. Katie and I went for a run this morning and we had breakfast after" her girlfriend shrugged before picking up a basket with white clothes and walking away to their laundry room.

"Okay…" Raven went back to their kitchen and just put two pop-tarts in the toaster before getting some orange juice.

Early in the week Raven had noticed Octavia texting a lot and when she asked her the other girl had told her how this new girl had come to the office and how she had just moved here so she didn't have many friends. Last night and on Friday night Octavia had gone with this girl to some sport event. Apparently 'Katie' was the new girl that covered the sports section so she got tickets to everything but didn't want to go alone.

It hadn't bothered Raven at first. The two of them were allowed to have friends outside of their common circle and were allowed to go out without the other. So really, it didn't bother her to see her texting or when Octavia had gone out on Friday night, even when Octavia knew Raven hated to have dinner by herself. But when two days in a row they had gone out and now it turns out that they had once again early in the morning. Well, yeah it was starting to bother Raven.

About two hours later Raven finally shut down her laptop. Her design was pretty much ready and they would start with the building and assembly this week. Octavia had just finished laundry and was on the couch watching a movie on Netflix. Raven placed her laptop on the coffee table and moved closer to Octavia

"Hey, baby" she whispered as she leaned in and kissed O's cheek, then her jawline and behind O's earlobe.

It was Octavia's weak spot and it always helped Raven get her girlfriend in the mood whenever she wanted. But this time Octavia had pulled away and moved a little more against the arm of the couch and away from Raven

"Raven, I'm watching a movie"

"Oh, come on. You can pause it and watch it later" Raven moved her hand to Octavia's thigh as she kept kissing her neck and started to squeeze gently, moving it to her inner thigh and inching it slowly higher

"I said not now, Raven" Octavia pushed her hand away and inched herself a little farther from Raven.

Raven pressed her lips on a thin line but sat back. She felt her throat tightened, hurt by the rejection of her girlfriend, but said nothing. They hadn't been intimate in a while and Raven knew it was partly her fault. She had been too caught up lately with work and her new project, putting more hours in the lab and sometimes coming home to continue working on her laptop. She knew she had been distracted but Octavia hadn't put much of an effort either. They were drifting apart, Rae could feel it, and honest to God it scared the shit out of her.

After a little while of uncomfortable silence and Octavia watching her movie and the occasional text Raven couldn't take it anymore. She let out a heavy sigh, willing her emotions to stay in check, before turning to her girlfriend and staring at her until Octavia huffed, annoyed, pausing the movie and turning to glare at Raven

"What?"

Raven bit her lip, her arm was on the back of the couch and she kept staring at her fingers as they played with the fabric of the couch

"O… what's wrong? Are … are we okay?"

Octavia huffed once again before turning the tv off and standing up

"Just because I don't want to have sex whenever you do, Raven, doesn't mean something's wrong!" she picked up her phone and stormed off to their bedroom.

And Raven just sat there, completely confused about what just had happened. She felt her eyes start to water at her girlfriend's reaction. Octavia was never like this. She had never snapped at her this way. Lately everything Raven did was just wrong and she didn't know what to say or do to make it right again.

She reached for her phone, hoping her best friend would have some idea of what was going on with Octavia. If she had done something to make her mad without realizing and if so, beg her for help on how to fix it.

Rae: Hey Clarke. Are you free?

Griffindor: Lexa is over and we're playing with Leggos, why?

Rae: Oh, never mind then

Griffindor: What's wrong, Rae?

Rae: Uhm, I just wanted to see if you had time for coffee. I think I screwed up with O again and this time I swear I can't figure out why. I was hoping you had insight

Griffindor: What happened?

Rae: She's been weird all week. And just about now when I tried to make a move on her she got mad and stormed out.

Griffindor: She said no to sex?

Rae: Yeah…

Rae: Clarke, she's been texting this girl Katie a lot lately, and hanging out with her. Be honest… should I be worried?

The next two minutes had been the longest and most nerve-wracking in Raven's life. She stared at her screen as three dots appeared and disappeared at the bottom of the screen again and again. A sinking feeling setting heavy on her chest and suddenly she couldn't fight her tears anymore. She didn't need Clarke's text. That hesitation was more than enough.

Griffindor: I'm going to be honest, Rae because I love both of you and I know how much you two love each other. They have been hanging out a lot and they seemed to be getting close. I'm not saying something is going on, I'm just saying what I see. You should talk to her, Rae. She's your girlfriend. I'm sure if you asked her she would say what's going on there. Just be honest

Raven read and re-read that text. She felt her heart breaking and hot tears roll down her cheeks. Her jealousy was getting the best of her but the hurt was even more. She didn't know what to think. So she wouldn't do anything else stupid Raven just picked up her laptop, she shoved it in her messenger bag, picked up her car keys and stormed out of their apartment. She needed air, she needed to clear her head, to keep it busy. Or else she would end up doing or saying something stupid and making things worse. And right now Raven really couldn't afford that.

In their bedroom Octavia was laying on her side, staring at Raven's side of the bed and hugging the other girl's pillow close, with her back to the bedroom's door. Tears were running down her cheeks and her lips were red and swollen with how much she had been biting them. She had seen the look on Raven's eyes, Octavia knew she had hurt her girlfriend but at the time she hadn't been able to react differently. This gap between them was getting bigger and bigger and Octavia didn't know what to do to fix it. She was scared, so freaking scared of what their relationship had become.

She bit her lip as she heard movement from their living room, for a second thinking that Raven was coming in to try to talk to her. At the thought she was relieved and terrified at the same time, not even knowing where to begin. But then a minute later she heard the front door closing. Raven was gone, she had left her alone once again. More tears started to roll down Octavia's cheeks and she kept feeling this tight grip on her heart. About ten minutes later she heard her phone going off with a text and O moved quickly hoping it was Raven, but when the screen showed her Katie's name a sob pushed pass Octavia's lips. She buried her face in Rae's pillow and let the tears flow freely.

Sure, Katie was freaking beautiful and she was nice and charming. They had things in common and the girl made her laugh and she couldn't deny she felt incredibly attracted to the other girl. But it wasn't right. It didn't feel right. Katie was no Raven. She loved her girlfriend she had loved her for years. But lately things didn't feel the same between them. She felt neglected, and Katie was offering the attention Raven was not. Still, Octavia couldn't help but crave the attention from her own girl.

Octavia had gotten mad earlier and had pushed her aside when Raven had paid some attention to her, even when her insides were screaming at her for being so stupid. But it was infuriating seeing her girlfriend pay more attention to her work than her own girlfriend for pretty much all weekend once again. She was tired of being second place, of being pushed aside and only be brought to the front of the other girl's mind when she was done playing around with her projects.

She was so done.

Clarke set her phone down again after texting with Raven. She was honestly worried about her friends but didn't know how to help. She guessed there wasn't much she could do but give her support to both of them for whatever happens. She watched Lexa and Jona keep setting up the Leggos. Lexa noticed Clarke's pensive look and nudged her, asking what was wrong. Clarke just shook her head and kept playing with the other two doing her best to stay in the present.

After a while, when Jona was bored of the Leggos Lexa suggested they should watch a movie together. Clarke set herself to prepare the popcorn while Lexa and Jona started preparing the living room for their movie marathon. Since it was a pullout couch Clarke suggested they should pull the mattress and the three of them could snuggle there. Lexa and Jona had agreed without a beat and the two had set to work a second later.

Once the popcorn was ready and she had already brought the drinks to the living room, Clarke came back popping a few in her mouth and chewing happily. Jona was sitting against Lexa's side as the two went through the movie selection on the tv.

"Mommy, can we watch Kung Fu Panda?"

"Sure, baby" She got on her side of the mattress and snuggled up against the other two, with cushions helping her prop herself up so they could eat.

Once they were all settled in Lexa pressed play, they spent the next couple of hours watching Kung Fu Panda, munching on popcorn and occasionally commenting on the movie. At some point Lexa had moved her arm over Clarke's shoulder and had started playing with Clarke's hair, running her fingers through blonde hair and massaging her scalp, making Clarke slightly sleepy.

It was an amazing feeling, having the three of them like this, like a little family enjoying a lazy Sunday. After the first movie had ended Jona had picked the second one but about half way through the movie he had fallen asleep. The three had moved to fully lay on the mattress with Jona on top of Clarke with his head resting on her chest and Clarke's head resting on the brunette's shoulder.

"This is nice…" whispered Lexa as she pressed her lips on Clarke's forehead, her fingers were still playing with blonde hair and Clarke heard her take a deep breath

"Yeah… it is. Very nice" Clarke smiled to herself when Lexa moved to lay on her side, snuggling closer to the other two and moving some of Jona's hair away from his eyes.

Her own eyes started to feel heavy and soon enough she heard Lexa's breathing even out. Clarke reached for the remote and turned off the tv, closing her eyes and welcoming nap time for the three of them.

AN2: There you go! problems with Octaven :O. I might post a chapter solely focused on them. But if I do i'll post another one with Clexa to even things out. Who wants to see some Clexa alone time without Jona? That date Clarke owes Lexa might happen soon. What do you say?

Please leave comments on the review section! tell me what you guys think, at the end you are the ones who give me inspiration :D
