I was on a high after finding out the sex of my beautiful daughter, but Clarke surely wasn't. She remained in a ball, silently shaking against the door all throughout my discovery, and even a bit after, as her mother and myself tried in vain to convince her to tell us what was wrong.
My patience unfortunately snapped after about an hour of sweetly talking to my companion, this amount of stress would not be good for her developing child, the child that was also my niece.

"Clarke, if you do not stand up right this second and explain to your mother what is going on I am going to do it for you."

Clarke's head snapped up at my words, a slight frown marring the crevice of her eyebrows before she shockingly held out a hand for me to pull her up. Dr Griffin remained completely confused as she shot looks between her daughter and myself. I helped Clarke over to the bed that I had previously occupied before kissing her forehead, thanking her mother, grabbing my photos and leaving mother and daughter to talk privately.

Heavy footsteps, characteristic of the sky people, fell into step with my own as I attempted to navigate the hallways of the ark. I lifted my chin up too see my old acquaintance; Bellamy Blake. I smiled up at him as he grabbed my hand, allowing us to walk in comfortable silence. Bellamy and I had developed an oddly physical friendship over the few times we had met, nothing serious, just a general understanding of the comfort it brought too us both.

"So... you're pregnant now?"

I smirked up at him and his oddly obvious question and placed our joint hands over my protruding belly.

"Yes, my daughter is due in 3 months."

Bellamy flashed me one of his heart-breaker smiles as he began tracing pattens over my stomach,

"You look very beautiful Mina, you've really grown up."

I smiled up at him shyly, my heart racing even though I felt no romantic feelings towards the handsome young man. I dropped Bellamy's hand and placed my own on my stomach and replied with a slight taunting tone to my voice.

"Thanks...my boyfriend thinks so too."

Bellamy burst out laughing, kneeling over his laughter affected him so much. Which in turn caused me too laugh until we grinned like two drunken hyenas. Bellamy had apparently fallen over in his laughing fit so I held out my hand and helped pull him up even though I wasn't much help, I couldn't be bothered to put too much strain on my body to help a grown man up off the floor. We resumed our comfortable silence until we reached the exit of the ark and the beautiful sunlight began streaming through the metal again. Bellamy turned to me and once again grasped my hands, but this fine pulled me into a strong hug, causing me to wrap my arms around his neck whilst breathing in his unique, metallic scent.

"I'm not going to spout a load of shit about waiting for you or anything like that but...I will always be here if you need me Mina. I think I owe you that much."

I nodded to his words and kissed his cheek quickly before I walked away from the opening of the ark and disappeared into the shadows. At least I tried to, but Indra grabbed my arm with a frantic look in her eyes and pulled me away from the Ark and Bellamy.

"Indra? Indra! What is going on?"

I questioned her frantically as she continued to drag me away from the ark, her eyes glistening with tears and a rabid look upon her face. Clarke came running out of the Ark a few moments later, spotted us and raced towards us, she too had tears in her eyes. My eyes scanned the surroundings, coming into focus upon the guards clutching their guns as they appeared to be getting closer too us. The chancellor, Pike stood in front of a large assembly of rowdy people all whispering and demanding an explanation as too what was going on. I too desperately wanted to know but Indra and Clarke appeared pretty insistent on getting us out of there as quickly as possible. My mind was spinning with possibilities and fears but Pike's words were the ones that sent shivers of dread down my spine,

"The savages that surrounded us, waiting for the perfect time too attack have been dealt with, I have set our people free!"

My eyes widened in shocked understanding as I turned to Indra in fear of the unknown,

"What...what has happened? Speak Indra! SPEAK!"

I shouted at my godmother in desperation when we finally reached the gate keeping us trapped in the sky people's territory. Indra turned around to stare at me but shook her head, motioning too all the heads that had turned too us due to my outburst of fear.

People of the ark began cheering, clapping and screaming with animalistic joy as a crate full of what looked like human shaped bodies were wheeler in. My heart skipped a beat in utter dread as my feet began moving me closer to the pile of bodies. Slowly, individual faces began to become visible too me. Faces I recognised, all of the bloody and broken. Ones I loved. One I loved above all other. I raced with all my strength towards the rapidly building pile of bodies, stopping in front of one that couldn't possible be who I thought it was. No...this...this couldn't be happening.

My whole existence seemed to just disappear as I gazed upon the face that I had begun to love. The face that I woke up too every morning, the face I kissed every evening, the only face I imagined ever loving the way I loved him. As I fell to my knees and the tears streamed down my face I clutched his lifeless body close to me and screamed. This was it...it was really over. Trian was dead.

My lovers body felt heavy in my arms, his eyes that stared vacantly into my soul tore my own soul apart. We had been together barely 8 months but I had loved my boyfriend with all my heart. Our love had been young and powerful with all the strength of a great typhoon, our love was passionate. Sobs shook my body starting from my eyes and running all the way down to my toes. Trian had been my everything, and now I had nothing. Two large bullet holes stood out like a lion in New York as the scarlet blood seemed to seep out of his pale skin. A slight jolt from my ever-growing belly had my eyes softening with love that I had just seconds ago believed was gone forever. Trian had left a little part of himself with me and I couldn't have loved him more for it. Placing a shaking hand over my daughters home I allowed the tears to fall once again as I cooed to her,

"Hey baby girl. Your daddy loved you so very much, but...unfortunately..."

My crying stopped me from being able to finish my apology to our daughter. She would grow up without the tender loving care her daddy was so looking forward to bestowing on her. I would occasionally wake up to find my boyfriend tracing lines over my belly, or holding his ear to it as he talked softly to our baby.

*flashback*

"Hey baby, it's your daddy here."

My eyes shot open as I heared the beautiful voice of my beloved and felt a cold draft against my belly as the air touched my exposed stomach. A slight grin formed on my face as my sleepy eyes focused on Trian cooing at our unborn goufa with the gentlest look in his eyes. I quickly snapped my eyes shut in order to keep the moment going but kept my ears wide open.

"You've grown so fast already goufa. I can't wait too meet you, your mummy and I are very excited."

Trian placed both hands over my stomach and signed as he continued his little speech,

"Your daddy is going to make sure nobody ever hurts you, your going to be the safest and most loved little prince or princess that's ever lived after the apocalypse."

I wanted too laugh as he called the global disaster that ruined the modern nations an 'apocalypse' it sounded too corny, like a zombie movie or book that I had heard existed before the 'apocalypse.'

Trian eventually removed his hand from my stomach and this time placed a soft kiss over it where his hands had previously lay,

"I love you and your mummy so much baby, I just need to tell her now."

My breath hitched at my lovers declaration of love. We had never before expressed our feelings too each other using the cementing words but we both knew we loved each other. I desperately wanted too lean down and kiss my boyfriend senseless while declaring my love for him but deep down I wasn't read for that and I also didn't want him to know I had been listening to his obviously very private conversation with our goufa. I smiled though, soon. Soon I would tell my boyfriend how much I loved him and appreciated him. Soon we would hold our baby close and whisper sweet nothings too each other while wars raged outside.

I was snapped out of my flash back to the past suddenly as I felt a warmth on my hand. I looked down in confusion to find the hand I had laid over Trian's lips warm and wet.

"What the hell?"

I said too no one in particular as I held up my hand to the light as I felt the warmth once again...warmth. I nearly broke down with relief but even I knew with my small amount of medical knowledge that just a little warmth didn't mean he was alive. When the warmth occurred again and his chest began to rise steadily I jumped too my feet and began screaming for help all while pressing my hands into the bullet wounds on his side.

"Help me! Please someone help me!"

I screamed myself hoarse but eventually Clarke managed to fight her way through all the confusion too my side. She flung herself down next to Trian as soon as she recognised my boyfriend. She placed her hands over my shaking ones while ordering me to rip some cloth. I quickly ripped the fabric of my jacket up and grabbed a bottle of alcohol of a nearby dead soldier to disinfect it. Clarke shot me a grateful look for my knowledge of germs and not being completely oblivious as how to prevent infection as most people of the ground are. Clarke tied the bandaged up tightly before she began checking the rest of him. I held onto my lovers head while sobs racked my body while my companion desperately tried to fix his broken self. Clarke's mother came rushing over as she saw our predicament and began helping her daughter in their attempt to save his life.

I was instructed to step away so the mother and daughter medical pair could do their work. I had never felt so helpless in my life. The life of my boyfriend, the father of my unborn goufa, my love, was in the hands of someone else - and I could do nothing too help.
