Telling her mother about the pregnancy went a lot better than Clarke expected considering Abby had news of her own to share: that she was engaged to Marcus Kane.

A/N: I really am sorry it's been so long since an update, but I appreciate your patience!

Marcus Kane was Clarke's dad's friend from childhood, and the best man when Abby and Jake got married. When Jake had been killed in a car crash when Clarke was in high school, she had turned to new-found friend Octavia and her brother Bellamy, while Abby had sought comfort in her work at the hospital. It had taken a few years for Marcus to break through her work-a-holic shell, but eventually he had.

Clarke and Marcus got along, and was happy that her mom was, too.

"So, tell me," said Abby, leaning her elbows on the table that she and Clarke were sitting at a café a few weeks later. "Have you thought of names?"

Clarke shrugged. "A few…"

"What about Bellamy? What does he think?"

"What does he think about what?"

"The name for the baby. Even though he isn't the biological father, you clearly want him to be a father figure for your daughter."

Clarke's mouth opened and closed a few times. "What?"

Abby sighed. "Well, you haven't kicked him out of your apartment to make room for the baby, so it's obvious you want him to help."

"Mom, it's his apartment."

"But you haven't moved out." Abby wagged her finger at her daughter. "Everyone knows it."

"Knows what?"

Abby leveled a look at Clarke.

"Mom!"

"I always did like Bellamy more than Finn," mused her mother.

Clarke leaned back in her chair, resting her hands on their new favorite place: her baby bump. Three months left, she thought. She had started to really show a few weeks ago, and Raven and Octavia loved to take her shopping for maternity clothes. Clarke hated it, but she had to admit that some of the pieces her friends had found were adorable. She also liked the way Bellamy looked at her when she wore some of the dresses.

Abby's eyes sparkled as Clarke blushed. "There it is," she said. "That look you get when you think about him. You never used to do that with Finn."

"But what do I do, mom? I can't start something with him before this baby comes! And how can I after? It's not like she's his!"

"Do you really think Bellamy would care about that? I already know your child has him wrapped around her finger!"

"How could you know that?"

"Clarke Elizabeth, how could you not know?"

Clarke shrugged, sheepish. But she did know. She knew. Bellamy wouldn't let her do much around the house. He would go out and get her what she was craving, no matter the hour, no matter how early a morning he had the next day. It was his office that was being turned into the baby's room, so that Clarke could keep her art studio. He helped her pick out furniture for the nursery, and put it together (save for the amazing crib that Raven and Wick had built).

"He loves me," she said, quietly. "And…and I love him."

Abby took her daughter's hand. "So go tell him."

A/N: I've compiled my lists of baby name suggestions from you guys (and from my readers on Archive of Our Own), and it seems that the most popular suggestions are: Penelope, Sybil, Rose, and Charlotte. I've also liked the suggestions of Emma, Sophie/Sophia, and Maia/Maya.

So, of the names listed, which do you like the best for Clarke's baby?

Again, thank you so much!
