AN: I want to dedicate this fanfiction to my sweet friend Queenie. I met Queenie a couple months ago here on Fanfiction when she read one of my one-shots and suggested for me to write another one. Since then we've been talking, chaging ideas and supporting each other. She hasn't read this fanfiction yet as she is waiting for me to finish and will totally be surprised by this. I can't wait to see what the new year brings us, my dear friend.
Epilogue
16 years later
Entering the Dropship always felt like going home. No matter how many years had passed, the bar represented how her life had turned around on that fateful year and, despite some renovations to modernize the place, it was one of her favourite places to be. That's where the gang had their annual meeting. The gang always tried to get together once year, usually around Christmas. Their lives had moved forward, but their friendship remained strong.
During their year long vacation, Bellamy had started writing about their adventures for fun, illustrating them with some of the pictures Clarke would take. It was all for fun, until it became something more. They had been contacted by a digital magazine who'd asked to have some of their articles featured on their website and that's how their career aspirations had changed. Nowadays, they had an online blog, complemented with an Instagram page and YouTube channel, where they shared their adventures from around the world. Bellamy was also contributing as a freelance journalist for some newspapers and Clarke did the same as a photographer. She even had some photographic exhibitions over the years.
They had gotten engaged five years after they left Arkadia the first time. Bellamy had presented her with a ring at the top of the Eiffel Tower and Clarke couldn't care less about how cliched it was. They got married a year later in their home-town surrounded by their friends and family. Clarke found out about her first child, Jake, about two years later when they were roaming the streets of Tokyo and had announced it to Bellamy on is birthday, a few days later, by offering a box with a positive pregnancy test in it. James came two years later, Clarke having found out when they were spending some time in Peru. Their third child, Henry, was born the next year and Bellamy was the first one to notice Clarke acting different. They had been tasting wines on the Douro Valley, making her cry her eyes out, thinking she had done some possible harm to the baby.
Nowadays, their videos, photos and stories featured their three kids, and parents from all over the globe asked them tips to travel with children.
Raven had graduated with honours from MIT, but turned down a job in California to get back to Arkadia and resume her relationship with Murphy. They had split a couple years after she left for college as per her request. It was tough to watch Murphy get more depressed each day. Bellamy video chatted with him regularly and it had been hard for him to watch his best friend be so heartbroken and not be able to help. So, Clarke and Bellamy had bought him a plane ticket to meet them in Bali. For a few weeks, Murphy followed them around, becoming a regular presence in their videos. Eventually, he became homesick and returned to Arkadia, where Sinclair gave him a job managing the bar.
When Mrs Smith died, she left a part of her fortune to Murphy and he used it to invest in The Dropship, becoming an official partner to Sinclair. That was about the time Raven came back and begged for his forgiveness. He said yes without thinking twice. He loved her and wanted to be with her, so he didn't considered it humiliating for him to take her back. They got married a year after Clarke and Bellamy had, and as a wedding gift, Sinclair retired and gave him full control of the bar. They had opened a auto-shop for Raven to work in and they couldn't be happier. They had a 4 year old named Peter, after Raven's late father, and a 1 year old girl named Emily.
Octavia and Jasper dated during their senior year, but eventually found out that they were best off as friends. She moved to New York for college and became a social worker, claiming she wanted to help children in a similar situation to her own. It was there she met Gabriel, a very shy but kind police officer. They eventually fell in love and, when she decided to move back to Arkadia, he followed her. To everyone's surprise, he and Bellamy hit it off immediately and Clarke's husband didn't hesitate saying yes when the other man asked for his blessing to marry Octavia. They commuted everyday to TonDC, but didn't care for the quick trip as they had their dream house and small three year old boy, Augustus. Octavia had confided in Clarke that she wanted to pay some kind of tribute to Bellamy and had decided to name her child after one if his favourite Roman emperors.
Miller and Jackson were still together too. Jackson had become a doctor and, despite the offerings of many hospitals, he opted to follow his boyfriend into the army. After a couple years, they decided they had seen enough horrible things and asked to be relived of duty. Nowadays, they spend their time abroad, helping in humanitarian causes, changing the world together. After Clarke gave birth to her second child, Jackson's biologic clock – as Miller called it – started ticking and he begged his friend to be their surrogate. Clarke had immediately said yes, but they eventually gave up that idea when, while in Greece helping with the refugees crises, they met two orphan sisters, Amira and Yara, deciding immediately to adopt them.
Much to Mr and Mrs Jordan dismay, Jasper had refused to go to college or even work at the flower shop. He took odd jobs here and there, until Raven opened her shop and hired him to work with her. Monty also took a job there and they took their obligations very seriously. Harper eventually went to nursing school and met Maya, whom she introduced to Jasper. They immediately hit it off. Monty and Harper had gotten married about two years ago and Jasper and Maya tied the know a few months later. To their surprise, both girls had announced six months ago that they were expecting, bringing much happiness to their husbands. They already claimed their children would be best friends, until Murphy warned they could eventually date, which the duo agreed was even better.
As Clarke and Bellamy approached the group, already seated in their usual booth, they couldn't hold back their smiles.
"Here they are!"
"How long has it been?"
"Will you stay more than a weekend this time?"
"Hey, what do you guys want to drink?"
They exchanged an amused glance at their friends antics. Little did they know, Bellamy and Clarke had decided to finally settle down and had bought a house right next door to Abby and Roan – who, by the way, had gotten very close after Bellamy's trial and, one thing led to another, and they had tied the knot when they went to meet Clarke and Bellamy in Australia.
"Wanna share the good news with them?" Bellamy asked, smirking.
"Where do you wanna start?" Clarke questioned with a big smile, her hand caressing her small bump. This time, they had been in Cape Verde.
Hey there my sweet and awesome nerds.
Here it is. The epilogue.
