Clarke smiled too. "is that a yes?" The brunette removed some of Clarke's hair that half-covered one of her eyes. "Yes," she smiled at the blonde. Clarke embraced Lexa. "I do have some guestrooms, and I don't work as much as I did before," Lexa said. "Neither do I" the blonde commented. "I'll call Emma. Are you sure it's okay? Because I think she's going to come here today" Clarke bit her lower lip, a little insecure by Lexa's answer. "It's okay" The blonde called her sister and told Emma that Madi was welcome here.

Emma told Madi the good news and the little brunette was relived. After school, Emma was going to drive Madi to Lexa's, I mean, Lexa's and Clarke's apartment. Inger J had already called in for a meeting with Madi's parents. She was going to tell them what they decided to do.

After Inger J had talked to Madi's parents. It just got confirmed their decision. Because Madi's mother was crazy mad, she shouted and hit things. Luckily, Madi wasn't there. Poor girl, she had been through a lot. Inger J had to admit that she was a little terrified my Madi's mother too. And she's an adult, Madi must have been thousands of times more terrified by her mother. And she lived with her for years. That girl must be hurting.

After school, Madi got in the car with Emma. Ignoring the looks she got as she got in the car. "Are you okay?" Emma asked to check on the little brunette. Madi was too vulnerable to speak. She had told her friends that she was going to live in a foster home, and they were happy for her. A little worried if the foster home was safe or not. Madi was too.

Madi nodded as she saw Emma looked at her by her reflection in the mirror. "Are you a little afraid?" Emma asked as she started the engine. Madi startled a little. Emma noticed it. As you know, Emma was good at reading people. Poor Madi, she must have been so afraid of her mother that she startled easily.

"Yes," Madi answered with a low voice. "I understand. But you should know that Clarke and Lexa are very caring and funny people. I have never seen them mad, and if they get mad, they certainly not yell" Emma started driving out of the parking lot. Madi swallowed, afraid to meet these people.

You should know that Madi has social anxiety. She has told Emma that, but Emma hadn't told Lexa and Clarke yet. After ten minutes, Emma pulled up in front of the building. Emma smiled carefully at the little brunette that almost seemed to be tearing up.

"Inger J will come by with your clothes later," Emma said as they got in the elevator. Emma pressed the PH button, that stands for a penthouse, and Madi's eyes widened. She had heard about penthouse's and they were huge and modern. As they reached the top floor, Madi followed Emma to the door down the hall.

Emma knocked on the door. Madi looked at the doorbell. What is it with people these days that still knock even though it's a doorbell right in front of their eye. As Lexa opened the door, Madi looked directly into her eyes. She studied them. The brunette had green eyes and they were directly looking at Madi's blue eyes.

"You must be Madi" Lexa smiled and reached out her hand for Madi to shake. "I'm Lexa" Lexa introduced herself. Madi smiled. The three of them headed to the living room. Clarke just walked down the stairs. As Madi saw the blonde she started to wonder. Lexa and Clarke. Were they sisters, or partners? But she didn't mind asking. She respected it anyways. Because love is love.

"Hey" The blonde smiled widely at Madi. "I'm Clarke" the blonde admired Madi's blue eyes, it had the same color as her. Madi felt like her throat was swelling up like she was going cry. Emma hugged Clarke. The three adults sat down on the couch and Madi sat in the corner next to Emma. She was quiet.

"So, Madi. How're things going at school?" Lexa asked the little brunette as she reached for a strawberry that Clarke had put in a bowl before she went upstairs. Madi nervously played her fingers. She was so nervous that she was afraid of talking. It happened when her anxiety kicked in. Poor Madi has social anxiety and normal anxiety when it comes to meet people that she must get to know.

It went a few longs seconds and Madi couldn't look at Lexa anymore. Her tears started to tear up. That's when Lexa's heart broke. It was like seeing a mini version of herself. She got a little flashback of herself in her first foster home. She was so scared. She didn't speak either. Clarke understood well that it was hard for Madi to talk.

Emma noticed that Madi wiped her tears away. "After what her teacher has told me, she's doing really great. She's one of the best in class. Good grades and stuff" Emma smiled at Madi. The little brunette focused on her fingers. Tears dropped on her hands. "Wow, I was never great at school" Lexa laughed. "It's okay honey, because look how you turned out" Clarke waved her hands, trying to get Lexa to look at the penthouse.

Madi smiled a little. And it melted Clarke's heart. Seeing someone that was vulnerable smile was just one of the best things in life. "Hey, I just fixed your room. Do you want to go and see it?" Clarke asked carefully. Madi looked at the blonde, showing a little fear. But the way the blonde smiled at her made her feel safe. Madi slowly nodded. As Clarke rose from the couch, Madi did the same and followed her.

"This is the biggest guestroom" Clarke smiled and opened the door. And she was right. It was indeed big. Four times bigger than Madi's normal room size, and she shared a room with her little sister. Madi gaped. "Wow," she whispered. It was a modern room. Simple. Gray. Just like Madi likes it. It was just what a teenager could imagine.

"Do you like it?" Clarke bit her lower lip. Madi widened her eyes. Like, of course, I like it. Madi nodded at Clarke. The blonde exhaled in relief. "Good. Because it was a little short notice and we just had to de-decorate and stuff. But if you want to do some changes, feel welcome to do it. It's your room so you're in charge of it" The blonde walked next to Madi, putting her palm on her shoulder.

"Thank you," Madi said with a low and cute voice. "You're welcome" the blonde smiled at the little brunette. Madi walked to the bed and sat on it. The double bed. Oh, that bed was big and soft. Clarke stood beside her, smiling at how happy Madi looked. That's when Lexa walked in. She walked to the bed and stood next to Clarke. Both looked gently at Madi, not wanting her to feel that she was begin started at. Madi was beautiful. She indeed was.

"Inger J is here with a bag or your clothes. Your… mother had packed them. I don't know how well she knows you but if it's clothes that you don't use we can drive back tomorrow to get some more clothes" Lexa pressed her lips to a thin line. Madi nodded. The three of them went down.

Inger J wanted to talk with Madi a little so they went upstairs again, leaving Lexa, Clarke, and Emma in the living room. When Madi and Inger J closed the bedroom door. Clarke exhaled. "Did you feel that Lexa?" Clarke put her hand on her heart. "Yeah, she's a really hurt soul" Lexa grabbed Clarke by her waist. Emma nodded. "You should know that she's not shy. Well, she is shy, by she also has social anxiety and normal anxiety when it comes to meet new people" Emma informed the couple. "and from what her teacher has told me. She's the sweetest kid. She's quiet. But in the breaks between the classes the teacher has noticed that she talks a lot and laughs when she's with her friends. So, I thought maybe having some of Madi's friends over would be good for her. Because this is all new to her, and she has anxiety after all"

Clarke nodded. "Is there anything we can do?" the blonde asked her sister. "I think the only thing you can do is to not push her to talk. Because she was problems with talking to. She speaks well, it's not that. But she just has this… low self-esteem. Like, really low. And if she cries, I want you to hug her. Because she has told me that no matter what she said, deep down she wanted a hug. But she's too afraid to ask"

Lexa nodded. It was a lot to take in. "Is there anything else we should know about?" the brunette wondered. "Not that I can think of. But don't worry. You got this. And if you need help with anything, you call me, okay?"

Clarke nodded and hugged Emma. "Thank you" she whispered. "Thank you. You are such good people that do this. Madi really deserves a good home" Emma said with a sad voice. "Yeah. Everyone does" Lexa added. Emma nodded in agreement. Clarke and Lexa sat down on the couch while Emma went to the bathroom.

"I think…" Lexa began. "I think she has to live here for a while. She can't get moved from home to home, she will never be able to feel safe. I want the best for this girl. We are a safe and loving home, we have to- "Lexa said with tears in her eyes, her voice broke. "I think it's for the best that she lives with us for a while too" Clarke wiped Lexa's tears away. "oh, honey. You're such a caring person. And that's one of the thousand reasons I love you" Clarke beamed at the brunette. Lexa leaned in for a sweet kiss. "I love you" the brunette grabbed Clarke's hand on leaned her forehead against Clarke's forehead. "I love you so much, Clarke Griffin. You have no idea"

Clarke's heart melt. Her heart beat so fast it almost fell out of her chest. 6 months had passed, but hearing Lexa say those words just froze the whole world. And Clarke's heart beat too loud. It was like she plugged her heart to a speaker and the whole world froze just so they could listen to Clarke's heartbeat.

After a few minutes, Emma settled down on the couch next to the blonde. "It's finally Friday" Emma leaned on Clarke's shoulder. "Yes. Finally, Friday" the younger blonde leaned her head on her sister's head. Lexa leaned on Clarke's shoulder too. They didn't hear Inger J and Madi walking down. But as Madi was only a few meters from the couch she walked slower. She had to let a little smile show as she saw the little family curled up on the couch. When Inger J and Madi was next to the couch, they still didn't notice them, so Inger J had to cough to get attention. The three women almost jumped out of the couch. Inger J and Madi had to chuckle a little.

"Okay, here's my number" Inger J handed Clarke her card. The blonde let out some little thanks. Inger J smiled carefully at Madi. "Call me if you need to talk, okay?" Madi nodded. Emma and Lexa followed Inger J out of the house. As Emma got back, she decided to leave so Madi could get to know Lexa and Clarke a little. "Bye, Madi. If you need someone to talk too, you can talk to me at school, text me or call me. Okay" Emma smiled gently. Madi nodded and let a thankful smile show. Clarke followed Emma out of the building and down to her car because Emma had something for her. Leaving Lexa and Madi on the couch alone.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Lexa opened Netflix as Madi nodded. "Are you freezing, do you want a blanket maybe?" the brunette asked the little brunette. It went silent. Lexa could see that Madi swallowed. Lexa sighed. "Hey… I know this is not easy" Lexa began with a low voice. Madi looked at Lexa. "And I honestly don't know when it's going to be easier. But I just want you to know that you are safe now. I promise. Clarke and I are going to take good care of you, Madi" Lexa smiled a little. Madi's eyes started to tear up again, and as she blinked she quickly wiped her tears away. "And just so you know it. It's okay to cry. Just let out your feelings, because sadness is one of the hardest things to lock up inside you" Lexa smiled a little at the little brunette. Madi smiled back. The little brunette already liked Lexa. She seemed lovely.

Lexa took a blanket and laid it over Madi and caressed the little girl's shoulder. "Do you have any suggestions?" Lexa asked after a few seconds of silence. Madi shook her head. Lexa let out a little 'okay' before she scrolled past movies. "So, do you like school?" Lexa asked. She was the kind of person that just had to talk when it was silence. But if she knew Madi, she would have known that Madi doesn't talk much, or little for that sake, with people she has to get to know. Madi nodded. "Really?" Lexa chuckled. "Who likes school" Madi smiled at the brunette. She was funny. "I personally, didn't like school. I was good, someone even called me a nerd. But what I didn't like was being bullied" Lexa said as she focused on the TV. Madi looked at Lexa, and Lexa could see that Madi was looking at her. "I got bullied for being gay" Lexa swallowed.

Madi frowned. "I don't know why love bothers people" Madi began. Lexa looked at Madi, surprised that she said a whole sentence. "People should be able to love who they want to love. No matter what gender" Madi took a little pause and smiled to Lexa. "You and Clarke. You're, together right?" Madi asked carefully. Lexa nodded with a smile. Madi smiled back. "You should know I totally respect it" the little brunette smiled carefully. "Thanks, Madi. It means a lot"

Clarke walked in. As she entered the living room, she had to admit it was kind of cute seeing Lexa's and Madi's head. It was like a mini version of Lexa. And Lexa noticed Madi had blue eyes, just like Clarke. Who knows, maybe this was faith. "Hey" Clarke smiled at Madi and Lexa. She stopped as she saw they were going to choose a movie to watch. "Should I get some snacks?" Clarke asked. Madi didn't answer but Lexa nodded with a smile.

"Do you want some soda, Madi?" Clarke asked the little brunette with blue eyes. Madi nodded with a smile too. Clarke went to the kitchen while Lexa and Madi chose a movie. Lexa asked Madi what kind of movies she liked and Madi told Lexa that she liked all kinds of movies. But her favorite was comedy romance. Lexa 'aawed' and said that it was her favorite too. As they scrolled through the romance movies, they finally landed on something they wanted to watch. The movie 'Every Day'.

Clarke pulled her phone out of her pocket. Opened her group chat with her friends. She had to tell them about Madi, just in case they wondered who she was.

Clarke: Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have moved in with Lexa.

Raven: Awesome! How's it like?

Clarke: It's good. I've only been here a couple of hours, but it's good.

Octavia: You will feel closer to her now. Who knows, maybe she will propose to you soon

Clarke: dream on

Monty: Should I throw a party?

Jasper: Let's throw a party!

Clarke: Okay. Just not now. I actually wanted to tell you guys something. It's kind of important

Octavia: What is it?

Raven: Do you have cancer? T-T

Harper: NO! not cancer!

Clarke: Guys, I don't have cancer. Jesus. I just wanted to tell you that Lexa and I are fostering a teenager

Bellamy: What?

Finn: What? A kid?

Clarke: Yes. Her name is Madi. She's 14. And she's been through a rough time. I just wanted you to know because I didn't want you to get all "who's this?" when you meet us in the grocery shop or somewhere else.

Raven: Wow… This is big

Octavia: Indeed. Are you sure you're ready?

Clarke: We're ready. Besides, she's a teenager, how hard can it be

Bellamy: Teenagers are the worst. Take it from me, I had an annoying teenage little sister

Octavia: Shut up

Lincoln: xD

Clarke: Madi seems… different than other teenagers. She seems… calm

Raven: Really? Maybe she's just shy

Clarke: Oh, I forgot to tell you. She has social anxiety. Especially when it comes to people she has to get to know. So, If I invite you guys over, she will get anxiety and maybe cry. I hope you understand. But I guess I can introduce you one person at a time

Octavia: Poor thing. I hope she learns that we don't bite

Lincoln: You bite

Bellamy: Ew. Gross.

Raven: oooo. Are we still on for tomorrow, Clarke? Or should we cancel it.

Clarke: I'll have to ask Madi if she's okay with it

Raven: Great.

Clarke: Thank you so much for understanding. I love you guys.

Raven: We love you too, Princess

Clarke: I have to fix some snacks now. You know how Lexa gets without snacks

Raven: xD I know

Lexa: What's that supposed to mean

Clarke widened her eyes. She totally forgot that Lexa was in the group chat too. She hoped that Lexa didn't get offended by it.

Raven: HAHAHAA

Clarke sighed. She turned off her phone and poured chips into a bowl and popped some popcorn. A few minutes later she carried two bowls to the living room and placed It in the middle of the table. "So sorry" Clarke apologized and laughed. Lexa let out a short laugh and said it was okay. Clarke quickly went back to the kitchen to get a bottle of soda and three glasses.

Clarke sat down next to Madi. Not to close, but not too far away either. Lexa gave her a blanket and Clarke smiled as she accepted it. Oh, that smile. Clarke always kissed Lexa when she smiled like this. But she didn't because Madi was here. Teenagers do get uncomfortable when adults kiss. Lexa knew it too.

Lexa started the movie and that's when they for the first time, as a little "family" watched a movie together. Madi didn't talk or commented the movie, but Clarke and Lexa did see her smile a few times. And it was the most adorable smile ever. Lexa and Clarke just wanted to embrace Madi because of all she went through and it hasn't affected her personality at all. Well, she has social anxiety. Her situation at home is probably what's cause it, but she was nice. She seemed very lovely.

AN: I hoped this wasn't too much to take in. By the way, Madi was going to be the character that was based on me, but she's not anymore. Some of the experiences that Madi will have in the story have I experienced. So, this is going to be a little hard for me to write. And maybe I don't describe it so well, but that's because I have talked to my teacher, the school nurse, Child Welfare, a social teacher, my aunt and lots of my friends. And I guess I'm just done explaining things, so I'm making it short. Thank you for still reading.
