A/N Sorry for not updating on Monday. However, I hope this chapter makes up for the delay. Last night's episode was not too great, but it did have its bright spots, specifically the Sanctum storyline. I am getting quite annoyed with Echo, I wish they would actually develop her character more instead of just the cold killer that she was back on Earth. Like I understand that she's upset about Bellamy but come on, that poor old man. Anyway, enjoy.
"Welcome back Heda, Wanheda," Roan greets as you approach the tower for the first time in two weeks.
"Roan," Lexa greets before dismounting her horse. She helps you down from your horse, following that up by kissing you. "I'm sorry ai houmon. I have to check up and ensure that our friends did not condemn us to a harsh winter ahead."
"Wait Lexa." She turns back to you confused. "Call me that one more time."
"What?" she asks bewildered. "Ai houmon?"
You nod, biting your bottom lip. "I love the sound of that."
"Yu laik ai houmon."
You pull her head down a little for one last kiss before allowing her to go off with Roan.
"Hey guys," you greet when you get into the tower. "What's up?"
"Nothing at all. It's been quite the uneventful two weeks. I hate to say it, but I think you provide all the excitement," drawls Raven.
"Really? Nothing interesting from Octavia? Bellamy?" At the mention of their names, each of the Blake siblings shake their head.
"Stupid Octavia has been in her room with Lincoln half the time," teases Raven.
Suddenly, you notice the interlocked hands of Raven and Finn.
"You liar. Something happened here," you say, gesturing between the two of them. "Spill."
"Well um listen Clarke," Finn starts and you realise that he got the wrong idea.
"Oh no. I don't care other than the fact that one of my best friends has a boyfriend. She does have a boyfriend, right?"
"We're not sure," admits Raven. "We are just figuring it out as we go for now."
"Well good for you," you say seriously. "What about Murphy? Anything new with him? Where is he?"
"Nah," says Raven, and a look you can't quite discern passes across her face. "We haven't seen him or Ontari for like a week and a half so… They've probably been going at it like bunnies."
"I highly doubt that," says Octavia. "He was acting weird, but it's Murphy so you never know."
"True. And Monty and Harper. Anything new?"
"Actually yes. We've been waiting for you to come back," responds Monty. "Harper is pregnant. Again."
"Oh my goodness!"
Everyone rushed to the couple, speaking over one another.
"It better be named Jordan again," calls Jasper from his place at Maya's side.
"We'll see," jokes Monty. "If it is a boy, his name could be Jordan. If it's a girl, we decided on Ash."
You see Bellamy's face contort to a look of pure surprise; he was not expecting that. No one was.
"Guys," Bellamy says, "You don't have to do that."
"Don't flatter yourself," comes the teasing response from Harper. "She was as much our family as she was yours."
Bellamy just gets up from his seat and gives the couple a hug. "I love you guys," you hear him say.
"We love you too man," Monty says.
After a long breakfast, mainly spent catching up, Clarke goes up to her room. She is on the bed for a while before Lexa comes into the room.
"Hi Clarke," she greets. "How was everyone?"
"They're all good. Harper's pregnant, again. How were things with Roan?"
"Well, let's just say at least no one declared war in my absence. That's honestly the most positive I can be. Oh, by the way, did you open that?" You look to see what she is pointing at and find a wrapped easel sitting in the corner of the room.
"No, why?"
"It's my wedding gift to you. Kind of. I didn't really do anything, but I asked Lincoln to do it for me. So, it's kind of his gift to. Unless of course you don't like it, in which case it was all Lincoln," she jokes.
"Thank you."
"You don't even know if you like it."
"It's from you so of course I like it."
"Just open it ai hodness."
You comply, and when you remove the brown paper, you find a painting of the wedding. The first one. The moon, the alter, the brides, it was all captured perfectly.
"Thank you so much," you say kissing Lexa on the lips.
"You're welcome, but it wasn't just me. And don't thank Lincoln the same way please."
"You sure he won't like it?" you tease.
"He will, no doubt about it. Octavia won't though."
"I have you to protect me."
"True."
You go back on the bed, Lexa following you once she hangs the painting above the bed head, similar to the position of your sketch at the Dropship.
After a long while on the bed, you drawing and Lexa reading, she poses a question to you.
"You know what happened to Ontari?"
"Ontari?" you repeat confused.
"Yeah, she's wasn't looking to well today. None of your friends knew what was up?"
"Nope."
"Murphy?"
"I didn't even see him. I'll check up on him later, something is up here."
"Yeah."
You knock twice before the door is opened, revealing a very scruffy looking and horrifically smelling Murphy.
"What died in here?" you ask as you make your way through the garbage that decorates the floor.
"Hi Clarke. Do come in. Welcome to my humble abode," he says with the most sarcastic and fake voice.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Straight to the point; I like it."
"Murphy, cut the shit. What's wrong with you?"
"Why don't you ask everyone's favourite mechanic?"
"Raven?"
"No shit."
"Murphy, what did Raven do?"
"Why don't you ask her? I'm sure she and her new boyfriend," he snarled as he spat out the last word in disgust, "would love to tell you."
"Murphy?" you say uncertainly.
"Just leave, please."
You turn around and are out of his room, on your way to tell Lexa of your findings.
"Oh my god! I swear those two are retarded!" you exclaim after finally hearing as much of the story as possible from the pieces that Monty and Octavia each knew.
"You don't say," replied Monty. "Me and Harper had to take care of these two idiots for six years. Plus three others who were just as bad."
"Hey." exclaimed Bellamy with mock hurt. "Actually, we were worse."
"Case in point," chuckles Harper.
"So, what we gonna do about Raven and Murphy?" you ask, getting back on track.
"We just get them in the same room and lay everything out on the table," says Bellamy.
"Okay. Monty and Harper go for Raven, I got Murphy."
"What are we doing?" asks Murphy for the tenth time.
"Just keep walking Murphy."
When you reach the randomly selected room, you get Murphy to sit. Five minutes later, Monty and Harper are walking into the room, Raven trailing right behind.
"What is this?" Raven asks.
"Both of you are idiots. Raven, you confessed your feelings to Murphy and less than a day later, you were locking lips with Finn. If you waited ten minutes, Murphy would have come into the room and told you that he broke up with Ontari for you. Now, I don't care what the end result is, you two need to talk," says Monty.
Everyone leaves the two of them and you lock the door behind you.
"So how long do we give them?" you ask.
Before anyone can respond, you hear the unmistakeable sound of someone being pushed up against the door. Then moans, which you can probably identify as the mechanic's.
"I would say they sorted it out," quips Bellamy earning a chuckle.
"That's how we should resolve our issues," Monty says to Harper.
"Deal."
