Chapter 14
Weird Family

Octavia greeted her nephews and nieces into the shelter, taking Indie from Lexa's arms before the duo left and the aunt took the kids back.

"You all look so happy. What's up?" She asked, even noticing the large smile on her most shy niece.

"I got gold." Rowen said proudly, despite her aunt being there and watching the whole thing.

"And I'm so proud." Octavia promised, laughing at the blonde's bubbliness before they entered the holding section of the facility, where many dogs were separated to two per every enclosed area with fluffy beds, toys, and bowls of water. When the owner entered they barked and wagged their tails excitedly, mainly because she usually came to give them food or let them out into the large field to run and play with each other.

"Who are the new ones?" Jude asked, recognizing some older dogs that have yet to be adopted.

"Every dog from cages 25 to 50, the rest are still going through their final stages before adoption."

"Take home." Indie said clearly, pointing to all the dogs around her.

"Not this time, stormy. You have Zorro already." She reminded, the toddler shaking her head as if to say she wanted more.

"Can we get a dog from your next search and rescue?" Jude asked as her hoisted Finlay onto his back.

"Up to your moms." She replied, smiling when Lincoln entered with an Egyptian crossbreed that happily approached the group with a super waggy tail.

"Hi, Dimitra." Octavia said in her puppy voice, making the dog happier.

"Is she new?" Willow asked, petting the dog on her head.

"Yup, straight from Egypt. She literally followed your uncle and I after we tossed her a bit of food. She was our first rescue of the whole journey and she was the easiest. Now Linc refuses to let her go."

"So you're adopting her?" Jude asked as he helped Finlay rub the reddish fur of the dog.

"Yup, pretty much. Can't go wrong with a beauty like her." Lincoln said, patting his leg so the dog would sit beside him. "Alright, what do you guys want to help us with today?"

"Whatever you want us to do." Rowen said.

"Well maybe you guys can help us bring them out to the field for a bit and then we'll give them dinner. These guys got out this morning but they are so needing another mad dash around the grass." Octavia said, addressing the rowdiness of the dogs.

"You remember how to open the cages. Just unclip and lift. Some of them will want to say hi so just pet them and encourage them out." Lincoln moved to open the big door that led outside to the fenced area. The older kids got to work while Indie stayed with Octavia and Finlay clung to his brother's back.

"Taxes. Bills. Payments. Vacuuming. Dusting."

"Why are you being such a turn off right now?" Clarke asked her wife as she placed a kiss between Lexa's list of words.

"Because we still have stuff to do." The woman below her reminded, reaching a hand up to stroke some of Clarke's blonde hair back.

"I'd rather do you." Clarke said seductively, leaning forward once again and kissing her wife a tad harder.

"Smooth, Woods." Lexa mumbled, as they broke apart to breathe.

"I try." The blonde smirked, moving to straddle Lexa who sat up against the bed frame slightly. Clarke lifted off her top and did the same to the other woman before continuing their making out.

The two worked off one another clothes and soon they were both naked.

"How did I ever get so lucky to find someone as beautiful as you?" Lexa asked, admiring the woman who sat before her.

"The world works wonders. You're the greatest wonder to ever exist in my life."

"I love it when you talk cheesy to me." Both cracked up slightly and simply sat and stared at each other's eyes.

"I love you." Lexa whispered, moving to cup Clake's face.

"I love you, more." The blonde once again moved over Lexa and continued their kissing, allowing themselves to steal time with each other and ignore all of the impending chores that surround them.

Sophie and Thomas walked along side one another, heading for the movie theater after eating a quick dinner. The streetlights had yet to turn on, but the sun had sunken past the tall city buildings, leaving the streets with a cool breeze and less heat than it once contained.

"I never asked about your family," Sophie said, glancing at the boy next to her.

"It's nothing compared to yours. My family is small and strict and it never feels like we actually know each other. My parents and sister sometimes feel like strangers."

"Why's that? If you don't mind me asking."

"It's fine. My parents are consumed by their work and my sister, Andrea is two years older and the happiest person right now because she got to go to school out of state, therefore away from our parents." Thomas said. "Your moms, they seem really happy. You know I've never thought any couple could look so in love but your moms seem to have it all."

"My moms are so in love it's sometimes gross. But they've had some hard times so they cherish everything they encounter. My mom always said that life is more than just surviving." Sophie said making the smile on Thomas' face grow.

"That sounds nice. Aside from you aunt and uncle, do you have anymore family?"

"Not that I know of. It's always just been the eight of us and my aunt and uncle. I like it that way though, it's comfortable."

"Wait, so you have no cousins? Grandparents?" Thomas asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Well on my mom's side but she lost connection a long time ago. My mama was a foster kid until she aged out of the system. Octavia isn't her biological sister but they grew up together. What about your end?"

"I've got 40 cousins on my dad's side, and 12 on my mom's." Sophie gawked at this information. "They all live in different parts of the world so I never see them, but my dad has nine other siblings and my mom has four. I wish they wanted a bigger family but they just had my sister and I. I would kill to have more siblings."

"Yeah, it's pretty cool. There is never a dull moment in my house."

"I could only imagine."

From there the two delved into their wildest stories, moving closer together through their walk until Thomas bravely took Sophie's hand. She couldn't stop smiling from there.

"We come baring the greatest meal of all time!" Lincoln stated as he entered the house first with his wife and nieces and nephews following. Lexa and Clarke were seated at the dining room table, doing taxes when they saw the bag the man held.

"Linc, you know how we feel about fast food." Lexa reminded, shaking her head in amusment.

"I know, that's why I did it." He said, heading for the kitchen.

"Hi babies, how was the shelter?" Clarke asked, looking to her dirt covered kids. She had to do a double take when she realized it wasn't just a dirty clothing issue, her kids were covered in the mud from head to toe.

"Octavia, Lincoln, for god's sakes guys! I have to hose off the kids now." The blonde rose from her seat and pointed the kids to carefully walk through the clean house towards the back door.

"We got to play with all the dogs mom, and Uncle Linc turned on the sprinklers so the grass was squishy." Rowen explained as Clarke evaluated her child's dirt chunked hair.

"You're lucky it's still September, otherwise this hose down would be cold."

"Can't we just go to the bathrooms and rinse off?" Jude asked as he looked down himself.

"In the bathtubs that your mama and I scrubbed? No way young man, everyone line up." Clarke unraveled the hose while the other three adults watched in amusement from inside. The blonde rinsed all their hairs first, earning a few squeals from the temperature and a couple of attempted hugs (mainly by Finlay and Indie).

"Do we at least get soap?" Jude asked when his feet were getting soaked by his mother.

"Nope." Clarke replied, popping the 'p'.

"Fine then." Finlay jerked the hose upward and sprayed it at Clarke who screeched from the cold water. "Jude, you're a dead kid." The blonde said, spraying him back as Indie giggled and went to hug Clarke's legs.

"Everyone hug mom!" Jude demanded as a war cry, running to wrap the woman in a wet, muddy embrace.

"No, don't you dare. All of you stay back." The blonde warned, hose poised and ready to spray.

"Mmy!" Indie said with another laugh as she toddled over.

"Ind, no. No being silly right now." Lexa laughed even harder from her place inside, tapping on the window to get everyone's attention.

"Use the buckets!" She said loud enough for them to hear. Suddenly Clarke was being attacked by buckets full of water and was soon as drenched as her children.

Octavia went to watch from the back door along with Lexa when suddenly Lincoln hip bummed them outside telling everyone to attack them before her locked the door.

"LINC, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Octavia screeched as she ran one direction, Lexa going to opposite.

"This is for sticking the kids on me." Clarke explained as she took a full bucket of water and soaked her wife.

The kids went for their aunt and soon the dog was joining them, Lincoln once more locking himself inside as he watched from the window and ate a burger in amusement.

"Hey, Uncle Linc. What's happening?" Sophie asked when she entered the house, oblivious to the laughter outside.

"The family is just killing each other out there." He explained as he offered her a wrapped burger, which she gratefully accepted. "How was the date?" He asked her, his eyes still trained on the mess of water, fresh mud, and people outside.

"It was wonderful. Why are my moms willingly making my siblings dirty after they spent the day cleaning the house?" Sophie asked, hoping for some clarification.

"Oh, your aunt and I started it. The dogs and your siblings were playing in the mud so your mom had to rinse them. Jude splashed her and then I forced your mama and aunt out and here we are."

"Here we are." Sophie took a bite of her burger, leaning closer to the window like her uncle and making light commentary about the action outside.

"That one had to hurt." Lincoln said when Finlay tried and failed to pour a bucket of water on Indie, only to have it fall on himself.

"He bounces back quickly." Sophie said with a laugh, watching her brother run beside Zorro.

"Should I turn on the sprinklers?"

"Full blast couldn't hurt." The teenager said with a devious smirk.

"And this is why you're my favourite niece." The man said, heading for the sprinkler pad by the door. More screams and laughs echoed from within making the two people safe inside smile like mad men.

"So worth it."

"Your moms are going to kill me." Lincoln said, thinking for a moment before adding, "I don't think I care though."

"If anyone asks, I just got home." The girl said, taking another bite from her burger before heading for the living room. "Let me know who slips first." She calls.

"Ohh, Octavia is down. You missed a killer fall."

"Front or butt?"

"Landed smack on her butt."

"Damn it. Why'd I walk away?" The teenager asked, running back into the kitchen to see her aunt being attacked with kisses by Zorro.

"Beats me. You looked at your phone and walked away."

"Shoot. I was going to call Thomas. Again, I was never here!" Once more the girl ran off while Lincoln watched outside, laughing as his weird family continued to fight.

Yay, some family fluff.

I hope you enjoyed it :)
