Chapter 11: Brotherly love

-Knock, knock, knock-

Clarke was still where Bellamy had left her half an hour before, the bathroom floor was cold and Bellamy had brought her a pillow. He had done so every morning for the past week, she was really enjoying their new living arrangement.

Since they found out about the pregnancies Bellamy had moved in with her, they were already talking about it anyway so it was not like the situation had forced him to do so. Wick was practically living with Raven they didn't made it official and Wick was still spending some nights at Miller's house but Raven had been put on permanent bed rest after ending up in the emergency room a week after her accident because she had felt when she was trying to get out of bed without anybody's help, so he tried to distract her as much as he could. Murphy was spending more night in Bellamy's old room it was closer to the precinct, and he wanted Wick and Raven to have some privacy. Harper had found a new job and was away in training but she would be moving into the farm house for the summer because she was going to work as a counselor for trouble teenage girls in the summer camp that was taking place every year on the other side of the river down the house.

-knock, knock, knock-

Clarke really didn't want to move but the person knocking on her door was really persistent.

"Calm down I'm coming." She yelled toward the door not taking the time to put some more clothes on her. It was mid-May and she was feeling like she was burning from the inside out so the only comfortable clothes for her that morning had been a pair of Bellamy's short and her bikini top.

She opened the door to a very disturb Murphy. He had already seen her naked so many times that she didn't even feel like covering up just for him. Even if his eyes had quickly drift off her face.

"Can I help you with something Murphy?" she asked getting his attention back to her face.

"Hum! Yes, sorry! Bellamy called saying that you were out of crackers and ginger ale" He said showing his grocery bags. She led him to the kitchen.

"Aren't you supposed to be watching Raven today?" Clarke knew that Wick at final-terms to watch all day.

"Funny you should ask!" He started to say while stepping away from the fridge looking at the little blond sitting on the counter eating crackers. He felt himself blushing and took one of Bellamy's t-shirt in the clean clothes basket that was sitting on the kitchen table and passed it to Clarke. "Clarke please put on some clothes."

She took the shirt and put it on laughing. "That's nothing you haven't seen before."

"Yeah you I can manage." He said seriously. "Those" he said pointing out her expanding breast. "You three girls are going to be the death of me if you don't stop those from getting bigger." He was talking in a very serious voice so she refrained from laughing at him.

"Trust me they hurt like hell, if you find a way to stop them I am all for it." She added. "So raven?" she asked again.

"I was home when Bellamy called me and Raven overheard so she forced Wick to agree on her joining us here. She's just getting crazy staying in our flat all day. Wick will drop her in at 10." Murphy was really taking his 'prison guard' duty seriously.

"Those that mean I am under watch too?" Clarke asked joking.

"I guess so I am not leaving you two alone in here." He said sitting on the couch.

"Can you manage breakfast, then? I have some cleaning up to do in the bathroom before Raven gets her." Clarke asked and Murphy went back to the fridge.

"Just nothing smelly please!" She yelled from the bathroom.

"What no fish for breakfast? I am shocked!" he yelled back joking, finding what he needed to make pancakes.

Clarke cleaned the place up until Murphy told her breakfast was ready. She ate her pancakes in silence and they sat on the couch Murphy rubbing Clarke's feet, watching the news until Raven got there.

-knock, knock, knock-

Murphy went to open the door seeing that Clarke was half asleep on the couch.

"Hey man," he said letting Wick enter with Raven in his arms. "Clarke's on the couch." Wick went to the couch and let Raven down on it.

"Tada!" Raven yelled gesturing to herself as if she just appeared on the couch by magic.

"Raven!" Clarke said jumping into her friends arms.

"Okay" Wick interrupted them. "You two play nice! Don't torture Murphy!" he said very seriously. It was not their fault if the last time Murphy was in charge of the 'pregnancy squad' he ended up having an emotional melt down.

"It's just the two of us today so he should be safe!" Clarke told Wick. "Well until 4 at least" she looked at Murphy, "O is at work for now".

"I'll survive don't worry about me" Murphy said pushing Wick toward the door after he had kissed Raven.

Murphy turned back to watch the giggling girls in front of him. Okay maybe he'll survived if he is lucky.

"What are you two talking about?" he asked coming back to seat between the girls.

"Boobs" they said simultaneously.

"Okay. Can you please turn it down I am making you a favor remember?" he said flushing again.

Once again they spoke in the same time "Sorry!" punctuating their words by kissing his cheeks.

"Yeah! Don't try to bribe me!" he laughed at them. He really liked that the girls were treating him like a brother. He never really had a family, his dad had died when he was still young and he was bouncing back from foster home to foster home until he had met Bellamy senior year of junior high. They were far from friends at the time. Always fighting. Murphy had almost killed Bellamy once when they were fighting near the pool. He had pushed him and Bellamy had hurt his head before falling in the water. But it all ended well. O had needed help with a bully at school while Bellamy was at the hospital and Murphy took care of it, after that they all had become friends he even ended up leaving with them after the Blakes' mother had passed away.

Raven made herself comfortable by laying her legs on Murphy's lap and her head on the couch arm. "So what do you want to do today?"

"I was supposed to work but since you're here I'll take a day off from painting." Clarke told them.

"That doesn't really answer my question though" Raven smirked.

"How about movies? Or board Games? Or video Games?" Murphy suggested.

"There are no video games in here sorry guys." Clarke looked like she was about to cry over it.

"Oh Clarke!" Murphy hugged her. "It's okay princess. Let's choose a movie or a TV show. I even settle for girly stuff if you promise to not cry." He kissed her hair and looked at Raven who was glaring at them with watering eyes. "You too!"

"Oh!" Clarke jumped out of the couch to the DVD shelves. "I bought a new TV show I find it fascinating the characters remind me so much of our friends." She said. "It's called 'The 100'"

Murphy took the DVD case reading the summary on the back. "Okay I am in why don't we settle on your bed it will be better for Raven." Who was nodding yes.

Murphy took her in his arms and held her to the bed. "Girl you're getting heavier." He said while landing her on the bed which get him to be punch by both of the girls. "Ouch"

"I am growing a human being inside me." Raven complained.

They watched several episodes of the show before the girls started complaining about food they were hungry so Murphy made lunch and then he took off for a bit while the girls were taking a nap but when he came back they were still asleep and he was glad about it. He woke them up gently handing them little gifts. "I found something for you."

Clarke and raven got all excited by the gifts.

"What is it?" Raven asked in a high pitch tone.

"Just open them will you?" He said but the girls suddenly went silent, he knew them well enough to know why. "Don't worry I got one for O too, it's not my first rodeo." And just like that the girls were happy again which got him smiling. He really loved them and love to make them happy he was always feeling better after spending some time with those two meanwhile O never really forgave him since high school even though she was try to act with him like the other did.

Raven opened her gift to discover a little mechanic bodysuit. She was jumping in excitement, still grounded on the bed she had been more careful about her health for the past 3 weeks, after a talk alone with Abby.

Clarke opened hers to find a little tiara. And laughed. "I am not even 3 month pregnant what if it's a boy?"

Murphy took the tiara and put it on her head. "I am sure Bellamy would be able to fix that. He'll be happy to try again." He said laughing with her.

They put the TV show up again, eating all sorts of junk food that Murphy had bring to the loft in contraband waiting for O to get there.

"Not that bad of a day" Murphy said snuggled between the girls.
