So this is it. The last chapter. I'm planning on an epilogue.

I think I've tied up the loose ends and answered all the questions. If you think of something I missed, let me know!

I still haven't fully decided on whether of not I'm doing a sequel. (Even though I don't want to cause anyone's death! lol... {looking at you Luz-1801}) I may do a series of one-shots. I don't know. If anyone has any prompts for a sequel or a one-shot, let me know!


Even if she'd never admit it, Lexa most definitely saw flashes of her future as she watched Clarke play with the pup. Leaning against one of the columns on the wraparound porch, Lexa grinned and laughed. The blonde was frolicking around the front yard, giggling and shouting like a child. Lexa's misty-eyed vision cleared almost instantly when she heard Raven talking behind her.

Whirling around, she shook her head adamantly, "we are not naming him 'Raven Junior'!"

"But everyone knows I'm the badass of this group!" Raven protested. The whine in her voice, and the barely contained foot stomp, made the others chuckle.

"Really?" Tris snorted. "You're going to try to claim you're more of a badass than Lexa? Or Anya? Or me?"

"What about me?" Lincoln asked after she'd stop listing people.

"Right, yeah. Sure," Tris nodded. She jerked a thumb toward him and smirked, "Or Lincoln the teddy bear?"

Arching a brow and cocking a hip, Raven glared at the laughing group of siblings. "I'm sorry. How many of you can make things go boom?"

"You mean other than O's world nightly?" Lincoln smirked. He leaned down and kissed his fiancée. Standing up again, he winked at her, "sometimes more often than that."

"Gross," Raven gagged.

Tris nodded and grinned, "Well there was this one time when Monty and I – "

"Nope!" Three other voices shouted.

Shaking her head again, Lexa covered her ears with her hands, "I'll never be able to unhear that!"

"I didn't even – " Tris tried to explain.

"No!" Anya jumped up and ran into the cabin.

"You guys are really so mature!" Tris huffed, leaning back in her chair and refusing to look at any of them.

"That isn't true. Lincoln can do some very mature things," Octavia responded almost absentmindedly while her eyes trailed down his arms.

Turning to meet the brunette's eyes, Tris groaned when she saw the look on the brunette's face. With a grimace she didn't even bother to hide she asked, "Are you fantasizing?"

"Pregnancy hormones are no joke!" Lincoln winked at the youngest Woods sibling as he stood. He held out a hand for Octavia to take, helping her to her feet. Then he scooped her up into his arms.

"Where are you going?" Anya asked. She'd been stepping out of the cabin with drinks for everyone as Lincoln strode by her.

"Apparently O is in need," Raven wiggled her brows.

"Gross," Anya muttered.

Lexa chuckled at the scowl Tris now wore, "why the look?"

"So he can make a sex joke and it's all good but I can't even tell you about the time Money and I – "

"If you want your boyfriend to still be alive for more than an hour after we get home you will not finish whatever you're about to say!" Anya hissed.

"Plus, Lincoln makes like… one sex joke a year," Raven added. She shrugged when Tris's glare turned to her. "It's only fair. The guy is pretty good about letting us tease him."

"You all suck," Tris stuck her tongue out.

"Real mature," Lexa responded with a laugh before turning back to watch Clarke.

The conversation carried on behind her for a while but Lexa didn't pay it much attention. Losing track of time was easy when she was watching Clarke. Whether the blonde was sitting still of moving, painting or reading, talking or quietly listening, none of that mattered. Lexa just enjoyed the many looks of Clarke Griffin.

Before she knew it, the sun was dropping toward the horizon. Anya and Tris had long since gone back inside to join Lincoln as he prepared supper. Octavia had come out onto the porch again, sitting next to Raven. The dopey smile on her face was something Lexa chose to ignore.

"So you're most definitely hooked right?" Raven snickered as she observed Lexa. She'd moved to stand next to her at the railing.

"I am," Lexa responded without hesitation.

"You're good for each other," Octavia stood on Raven's other side, leaning out over the railing a little so she would see Lexa.

"Are you just now figuring that out?" Lexa asked.

With a snort, Raven shook her head, "Please, we knew the first time we saw you two together. IT's just nice to hear you freely admit it."

Lexa shrugged, her eyes still on Clarke. "She's it for me."

"Again," Raven said slowly.

"We know," Octavia finished.

Glancing at them, Lexa arched a brow, "its creepy that you do that. You know that right?"

"We do what we want," they replied at the same time, both raising their left shoulders in half-hearted shrugs.

"So weird," Lexa whispered, her eyes round.

Choosing to go back to focusing on Clarke, Lexa allowed her smile to return. Then it grew into a grin. She'd be more than happy to spend every evening she had watching the blonde run around with that pup if Clarke never stopped smiling like that.


Later that night, the friends gathered around the fire pit down by the pond. Clarke was curled up in Lexa's lap, sleeping soundly if the soft snores were anything to go by. Raven had abandoned her spot next to Anya a while ago in favor of presenting the group with some sort of surprise. Octavia was nestled into Lincoln's side, another dopey sort of grin on her face yet again.

"You people are gross," Tris muttered. She leaned back in her chair, choosing to watch the stars rather than see the looks on her siblings faces.

She was right. Lexa had handed the pup to Raven after supper and hauled Clarke up the stairs for a long shower and handful of body-trembling orgasms. She was sure she was smirking and posturing for the rest of the night. Clarke's fireside nap was more than earned!

"As if you wouldn't be just as gross if Monty was here," Octavia shot back.

"Please," Tris scoffed and rolled her eyes. "We'd be the grossest. You'd be lucky if you'd even see us this weekend."

"And we're going to let that subject die now. Thank you," Lexa grimaced, her smirk falling away.

Tris tried to argue but every time she started to speak one of the other Woods would shake their head and talk over her. Thankfully, they changed the subjects after her ninth attempt. Lexa fell quiet again when Clarke snorted in her sleep and nestled further into her neck.

"I can't believe you let her go to sleep before you picked out a name for the puppy," Octavia shook her head.

"She's tired. She ran around with him for hours!" Lexa defended.

Octavia's answering eye roll wasn't hidden by the darkness. She met Lexa's eye and said, "So we're going to pretend she wasn't shouting and groaning and moaning your name for a couple of hours after dinner? Lincoln and Anya had to leave the cabin again."

"Not my fault they aren't mature," Lexa replied.

"It's your fault she was yelling so loudly!" Lincoln protested.

"I'm not denying Clarke anything just so you can sit around and talk or whatever," Lexa said. She loved loving Clarke. Although, maybe they should try to be a little quieter while they were around the others and the walls weren't as sound proof as the townhouse.

Laughter rang out around the fire at Lexa's words. They all knew Heda would never deny Clarke anything. Watching her get flustered by their teasing was the one benefit they had from all of that.

"She's always wanted a dog," Octavia said after a few minutes of silence. "Papa G did too. Abby's allergic though so they never could."

"She told me," Lexa replied, pulling her sleeping girlfriend closer to her. "I figured she'd kill me if she heard about Braddock's offer and I'd said no."

The snort Octavia let out wasn't loud but it got the point across, "that's a total understatement!"

There had been more Octavia wanted to say but their tranquility was interrupted by a loud shout. As one, the group turned toward the pond, the direction Raven had disappeared in.

"Are there bears here?" Octavia whispered loudly.

"What did she say?" Tris spoke at the same time.

"Did she say get down?" Anya had jumped to her feet, her eyes searching the darkness. She glanced at the others, wanting to know if they'd heard what she had.

Stiffening, Lexa craned her neck to the right, trying to see into the dark night. "There aren't bears here O. Not for fifty years."

Another shout tore through the night.

"She definitely said 'get down' that time," Lincoln stood up and moved toward the shouts.

"That is the opposite of getting down!" Octavia scolded him as she tried to pull him down next to her again.

"What is the matter with you people?" Raven growled as she sprinted by them. Not even breaking her stride, she continued, "You're going to want to move now!"

For an instant the friends sat frozen, glancing at one another as they tried to figure out exactly what was happening. Lexa had just started to get to her feet, Clarke still blissfully asleep in her arms, when she heard the whistling.

"What the – " she said as she turned toward the sound, only halfway out of her chair.

The sound grew louder and louder until something whooshed by her head, missing her by mere inches. Then, about thirty feet beyond the fair a ball of light lit up the night. The boom that followed had them all quickly diving to the ground.

"Raven!" The now fully awake Clarke growled from her position under a prone Lea.

"Hey Princess!" Raven's voice came from beyond the edge of the darkness.

"What did you do?" Clarke struggled to get out from underneath her girlfriend.

"I wanted to celebrate!"

Lexa tightened her koala hug on Clarke when she heard another whistle approaching. She risked a glance back, trying to spot the source before it could hit one of them.

"So you bought fireworks?" Octavia yelled. She too was struggling to get away from her significant other.

"As if!" Raven's laughter was clear.

"You made fireworks?" Anya shouted, her eyes searching the trees for Raven.

This time Raven hesitated before she answered, "… maybe?"

When the whistling sound passed them, and the firework went off, Clarke and Octavia finally spotted her. Raven was hiding in the tree line just off the trail that led back up to the cabin. Clarke poked Lexa's cheek until she finally looked at her. She rolled her eyes and pointed in the direction she'd seen the Latina.

"Great," Lexa huffed. Then she looked closer at when Raven was standing.

Just then, another firework lit up the night and Lexa actually saw her. She pointed her out to her siblings. When they started laughing, Clarke and Octavia grew confused.

"What's funny?" Clarke asked.

Three whistles, followed by three very loud booms and bright colorful lights cut off Lexa's response. Those lights allowed Clarke to see the mirth in her green eyes.

"You know something?" Clarke questioned.

"I'll tell you in a minute," Lexa assured quickly. She ducked her head to give Clarke a quick kiss, she couldn't resist that much. Clarke was under her and sleep still filled her voice. Lexa could only resist so much, she only human after all! "And we'll continue that in a little while too. First we need to get out of here!"

"How many Raven?" Anya called out.

A series of whistles, booms, and lights cut off Raven's answer. Then, when every one lifted their heads, she shouted back, "only a couple more."

Hardly another minute passed before the last two fireworks had gone off. The group stood and made sure everyone was alright. Then, Lexa and Lincoln stalked up to the trees, their hands fisted at their sides.

"Raven Reyes!" Octavia shoved her way passed them, intent on murdering her friend.

"Don't!" Lincoln caught her around the waist and held her back.

"I'm not actually going to kill her! I just want one good punch to the boob!" Octavia squirmed.

Lexa stepped in front of her. She glared at Raven before she held out a hand to stop Clarke from moving toward her. "There's poison ivy all over the place out here. Don't get any closer to her."

"You're standing in it!" Clarke gasped as she glanced down at Lexa's feet.

"There's what?" Raven shrieked. She jumped out from behind the tree and did a dance in disgust. "Come on!"

"Karma sucks!" Tris laughed.

"Lex, move!" Clarke beckoned her closer, away from the weed.

Shaking her head, Lexa replied, "Trikru aren't allergic to it. It doesn't affect us."

"I'm going to die!" Raven whined.

"Rae, you're wearing pants and boots. As long as you don't touch where the ivy did, you'll be fine," Anya replied as calmly as possible. She didn't like seeing Raven upset.

"Are you trying to tell me you're going to undress me?" Raven stopped dancing and wiggled her brows at her girlfriend.

"How can you flirt while you're freaking out?" Tris asked.

"It's a gift," Raven shot back. "Can we go get me out of these?"

Anya nodded and held out her hand. She started walking toward the pond instead of the cabin. "Lexa, we're staying at the guest cabin for tonight. I know I've got supplies there already."

"See you in the morning. Don't forget we're leaving at 9!" Lexa called after her.


The next morning the friends, unsurprisingly, found themselves reluctant to leave the cabin. Anya and Raven had joined them for breakfast; Raven apologized for the fireworks profusely. They packed the cars. None of them suggested actually leaving though.

"It was an accident!" Raven insisted for the eighth time. "I had everything set up and then the first stand went wonky after I lit the fuse and the wind carried a spark to the other fuses and – "

"Its fine Rae," Clarke replied. "We understand. Just… maybe next time tell us there's fireworks so we can duck and cover properly."

Before Raven could come up with a biting response, Clarke snatched up the pup and made her way outside. She and Tris played with him in the front yard while the others watched from the porch again. After a while, Clarke let Tris play alone so she could sit in Lexa's lap while they talked.

"So I've been thinking," Lincoln said slowly, like he wasn't sure he wanted to actually speak his mind.

"About?" Raven prompted.

"Well actually, we've been thinking," Lincoln corrected himself and took Octavia's hand in his. He pressed a quick kiss to the back of her hand before he spoke again. "We're going to move into the place above the pub. I know you guys said you'd be fine with us staying at the townhouse but babies can be a lot of work. We don't want to force you guys to conform to the ways of the newborn."

"You don't have to do that!" Raven insisted.

With a soft smile, Octavia replied, "Rae, we know that crying babies are not high on your happy time list."

"She's right though. You don't have to live above the pub," Clarke said.

"Clarke – " Octavia sighed, she'd already known her friends would argue. She just didn't want this to become a Thing.

"No, I mean it," Clarke said. She winked at Lexa before she continued, "I talked to Paige before we came up here. She and the kids are moving to Miami in the middle of June. So the upstairs apartment is available. I thought it'd be perfect for you guys. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms is a good starter place right?"

"Clarke…" Lincoln swallowed thickly. He had expected the arguments as much as Octavia had. He hadn't expected Clarke to offer up part of her home.

With a shrug, Clarke said, "I take care of my family and my Kru. Octavia is both so that makes you and the twins both too Linc."

"We've already talked about it," Lexa added, her hands finding Clarke's to lace their fingers together. "Clarke and I want to live together. So I'll move into the main floor with her. Raven, you are of course more than welcome to stay with us."

"And Tris can stay downstairs," Clarke assured the younger woman quickly when she grumbled about having to move. "We thought maybe Anya would want to move down there too?"

Six heads swiveled to look at Anya.

"Actually, Raven and I were talking about moving into the place over the pub," she answered their unasked questions.

"So we can move downstairs and live rent free!" Raven replied.

Lexa laughed at the enthusiasm on her older sister's face. "We bought the building Anya. You don't have to pay rent at the pub either. Its up to you."

"I think I'd rather stay at the townhouse. We can make our own Kongeda enclave," Anya responded.

"That means Tris can move upstairs with Clarke and Lexa then. Since they'll have two empty bedrooms," Octavia pointed out.

"Yeah…" Tris said slowly as she stepped up on the porch with the pup asleep in her arms, "I'd rather stay downstairs. Clexa is gross."

Glancing around, Lexa saw everyone smiling and nodding in agreement. While she didn't think she and her girlfriend were gross, she could see why others might.

"So now that we know where we'll be living, I suppose I should tell you AC and UP are officially merging. We'll be renamed Kongeda University. The separate colleges will maintain their own names based on the subjects at which they excel. For example, AC will be the college for hacking and pranks and UP will be the college for being responsible and not almost killing someone," Lea smirked at Raven as she spoke.

"You got jokes Heda?" Raven gasped.

"Also, since UP is the larger of the two schools, I will remain as president while Clarke serves as my VP," Lexa finished. "Which means I own you Reyes!"


"Lex!" Clarke whined as she followed her down the trail. "Can we go back now? I thought staying for another night meant more sex!"

"Of course it does," Lexa answered over her shoulder. She forged ahead, looking for the small trail that led to where she wanted to go.

Clarke growled as she followed several paces behind, "then why are we out here?"

"I want to show you something," Lexa said. "It isn't that much further!"

"You said that an hour ago!"

Ignoring the protestations from her girlfriend, Lexa held a branch out the blonde's way so she could move ahead on the trail. She followed close behind, occasionally reaching out to catch Clarke's hand so she could paly with her fingers. She helped Clarke up over rocks and tree roots, even across a couple of small streams.

"Seriously Lex," Clarke glared when Lexa smiled up at the sun breaking through the trees.

"Just follow me Meizen," Lexa replied.

"I'll show you meizen," Clarke muttered.

Ten minutes later Clarke was happy she hadn't gone through with her plan to knock Lexa out and drag her back to the cabin. Her wonderful girlfriend had brought her to a natural hot spring. And a waterfall!

"Ever been cliff diving?" Lexa asked as she pulled off her shirt to reveal her bikini top.

"No," Clarke replied after she just barely stopped herself from drooling.

"Well then let's go," the brunette held out a hand. "We'll jump a few and then relax in the spring. It'll be great!"

And so they did. Clarke stripped down to her bra and underwear and followed Lexa up the cliff carefully. Thankfully there was a small path that led up to the top so she didn't have to learn to mountain climb on top of going cliff diving for the first time!

Soon they found themselves in the spring. Clarke was nearly blissed out of her mind. Lexa held her tightly; Clarke's back to her front so the blonde could feel each of her defined ab muscles against her skin. It didn't take much convincing for Lexa to slide her hand down Clarke's stomach and into her underwear. It took even less time for Clarke to turn around and return the favor.

Even if she'd hated the walk to get there, and was dreading the walk back, Clarke was delighted they'd visited the spring. Lexa presented her with clean and dry clothing, as well as a sandwich and a bottle of water, before they headed back to the cabin. With a lusty glance at the brunette, Clarke unhooked her bra and slid her panties down her legs. She laughed loudly when Lexa nearly fell back in the water.

They were half way back to the cabin when Clarke heard it. She didn't know what it was but she knew the sound wasn't right. So she turned off the path and followed it. Lexa was behind her, protesting the choice. It was dangerous to leave the path if you didn't know the area. Of course she stopped when Clarke pointed out Lexa knew the area.

"Lex! Look!" Clarke gasped when she finally spotted the source of the noise.

"Clarke," Lexa sighed as she came up behind her. "Just leave it be."

"But it's a baby!" Clarke bent down to look at the bird.

It had just barely gained its feathers from what Clarke could tell. There was a large nest not too far away; grey feathers littered the ground around it.

"Its parents will take care of it Clarke. Let's go," Lexa tried to pull her back to her feet.

"You mean the parents that are over there?" Clarke pointed toward the nest and the bodies of two falcons next to it.

"Meizen," Lexa sighed.

Shaking her head, Clarke stood and turned Lexa around. She dug through the bag Lexa had brought with them and found a shirt. As carefully as she could, she picked up the bird and wrapped it securely in the fabric.

"We need to keep it warm," Clarke said. "I don't think he's hurt though. He just seems to be scared and hungry."

"How can you know that?" Lexa asked.

"I'm Sorakru Lex," Clarke grinned. "This is me embracing my heritage. Proud of me?"

Rolling her eyes, Lexa sighed again, "I'm always proud of you Love. But that's a bird of prey."

"He is a baby bird of prey. And he's mine," Clarke pouted and held the bird up to her face so she could meet its little eye. "Hello!"

"Clarke – "

"Here Lexa," Clarke held the bird out to her. "You carry him. You're a little more sure footed than I am."

"What?" Lexa took the bundle being thrust at her on instinct. "Clarke!"

The blonde was already walking away. Lexa scrambled to follow her. She tried to argue with her girlfriend the rest of the way back to the cabin. Thankfully the bird was silent, just watching the two the two of them, seemingly content in Lexa's hands.

"Clarke we can't raise a falcon," Lexa said for the tenth time.

"I am Wanheda, Wocha kom Sorakru. I can do what I want," Clarke replied.

"Clarke," Lexa said.

With a shake of her head, Clarke pointed at the cabin, "we're back! I bet O and Rae are going to be excited to see the new edition!"

"You mean the new, new edition? Because I think you've forgotten we adopted a pup yesterday!" Lexa called after her.

"Haven't forgotten! I'm going to go get him so he can meet his brother!" Clarke shouted back. "Love you!"

Lexa sighed and shook her head. When she glanced down at the bird, he was watching her. He appeared to be almost stoic, like he knew what was happening and accepted it.

"Your mother is ridiculous. You might as well get used to it," Lexa said quietly.


"You named him what?" Raven said loudly from her seat behind Lexa in the Jeep the next morning.

"His name is Lukot," Clarke repeated for her friend. "It means 'friend' in Trig."

"You know we're going to end up calling him Luke right?" Anya replied.

Clarke shot a glare at her, "No we will not. His name is Lukot. Right Lex?"

"Yes Clarke," Lexa responded. "Luke's name is Lukot."

"Lexa!"

"Love you!" Lexa replied with a grin.

Raven leaned forward to study the pup. He twitched in his sleep as he was snuggled into Clarke's lap. "He looks more fierce than a Lukot."

"I'm not naming him Raven," Clarke shot back.

"It's a good name!" The Latina protested.

"So save it for your first dog!" Clarke laughed.

Anya snickered at that. She loved that her girlfriend wanted to have a wolf named after her.

"Or your first kid," Lexa added.

Anya choked at that. Kids?! What?!

"What about your bird?" Raven asked, ignoring Lexa's teasing.

"Flik," Clarke said, sending Lexa a small smile and a wink.

"You named a falcon Flik?" Raven groaned.

Clarke turned look at her, "did you think we'd name a falcon Raven too?"

"It is a bird!" Raven replied. She glanced in Lexa's lap where the bird was sleeping in another one of her shirts. "Why Flik?

Before Clarke could answer, their phones all beeped with a series of notifications.

StrikFaya: (9:07a)
Lukot fits him. He is going to be
Clarke's new best friend after all.

StrikGona: (9:07a)
Flik! I get it!

StrikGona: (9:08a)
Lincoln says he owes Clarke a hug
and a high five.

Raven gasped as she read the text, "Betrayal!"

"You can't just ask us to name everything after you Rae," Clarke replied.

"Fine," Raven dropped her phone into her lap and sighed. After a moment or two she leaned forward between the seats again, "Why Flik?"

"Flika means candle in Trig," Anya answered. Lexa could hear the smirk in her voice.

"And?" Raven prompted.

Clarke reached to the steering wheel and pulled Lexa's hand free, lacing their fingers together. "Heda may have a thing for candles."
