2 ½ months later….

"Clarke you can do this in a few months, Abby wants you on bed rest." Lexa knew it was a losing battle trying to get her wife to listen to her.

"It will only take an hour maximum, plus I feel fine." Clarke assured,

"Even if you feel fine it doesn't mean you shouldn't be resting, the baby is due any day."

"I don't think it will be today, plus Luna is waiting for me and I'm going to be late."

"Fine, but you sit the whole time." Lexa ordered,

"Yes heda." The blonde smiled, "Isn't someone waiting for you too." She pointed to the window revealing a slightly taller Madi practicing with her new sword that Lexa gifted her.

"She's been training hard." Lexa smiled proudly at Madi,

"She wants you to be proud of her."

"She doesn't need to train to do that." Lexa said seriously, she hoped she hasn't been pushing Madi into something just because she thinks it's what she wants.

"She also loves spending time with you." Clarke says walking out the front door, "Don't train for too long today, I think it's going to rain."

"We won't." Madi replied swinging her sword through the air, her hair was in braids identical to Lexa's. She was almost sure she was seeing double.

"Hurry back." Lexa called after her,

When she arrived at the Polis Tower newly named Polaris after Becca's company and the 13th station. Lexa wanted to name it after the person who helped rebuild it and she wanted to honor Becca.

"You are late Sky girl." Luna rolled her eyes,

"Blame Lexa."

Over the past couple months a lot had changed, they opened up the schools they built and Skaikru was given land to rebuild here in Polis since Arkadia was burned down. Luna and Clarke had also been campaigning for the conclave rule change which Lexa was supportive of.

Clarke had already did the hard part by talking to Titus which was interesting to say the least. She expected him to yell and be angry but instead he said his only worry was the flame. It is his job to make sure it's passed on to the next commander and after telling him her plan he reluctantly supported it. That being said he would prefer it to stay the same but Clarke made it clear she wasn't giving up.

"They're ready for us."

Now they had to meet with the ambassadors to get everything approved. Luckily, most of them were new, after Ontari and A.L.L.I.E most of the ambassadors were either killed or retired from old age. She hoped them being younger would work to her advantage plus she had at least one known supporter.

"Thank you for joining me today." Clarke took her seat beside Lexa's throne, "I've gathered you here for one reason. I know some of you may have heard about the changes I want to make to the conclave and I'm here to explain. For the past 3 months my main focus has been trying to make a change and I found it. The conclave is a series of fights that end in lots of death when it doesn't have to. I have a way where no one has to die and the next commander will be chosen with care. If you will hear me out I promise it will be worth your time."

"Why would we change it?" One person asks, "This is our way and it works."

"Nightblood is incredibly rare." Clarke explained, "So rare that there could be none born within the next fifty years! There is no way to know, right now we have ten Nightblood's and if we allow them to live past the conclave the commanders line has more of a chance to continue."

"This seems self-serving." Another person adds, "You're probably doing this to serve your own child."

"I am absolutely doing this for my child but I'm doing it for all of yours as well, anyone in this room can have a baby with Nightblood. If we choose to change then maybe they will have a chance."

"Skaikru stands with your decision." Clarke turned seeing Bellamy aka her replacement as the new ambassador,

"Thank you ambassador, you don't have to make your mind up now. I want to explain everything before anyone else makes their decision"

"Again Madi." Lexa pushed the girl back blocking all the girls swings, "You're getting better and stronger, there is no doubt in my mind that you will be an amazing warrior one day."

"I have the best teacher." Madi eyes glowed as she reveled in Lexa's compliment, "Can we train more tomorrow?"

"If it is not raining yes."

Not soon after they got done training Clarke and Luna walked through the doors their faces completely neutral.

"How did it go?" Lexa asked the women, Clarke and Luna exchange a look and she knew that meant it was a no.

We did it." Clarke cheers, "We got enough votes to make the changes, we still have to go over some hazy details but that can wait until after I have the baby."

"I knew you could do it." Lexa smiled engulfing the girl in a hug,

"Clarke is very persuasive, only one ambassador was against it but we had enough votes by then." Luna explained,

"I can't wait to share the news with everyone." The first-person Clarke wanted to tell was Alix, she couldn't wait to see the woman's face,

"Raven and the others should return today, we must celebrate." Lexa said, after they defeated A.L.L.I.E, Raven and her team took the trip to the dead zone to find the bunker for anything useful. According to Raven via the radio they found a bunch of technology and books to bring back so all in all the trip was successful.

"Great, I'm going to go pick up Ali and we'll be back later." Luna hugged everyone goodbye before leaving.

"Where is Madi?" Clarke asked,

"In her room, she wanted to draw."

"Should we tell her together?"

"Yes, we should."

When they walked into Madi's room Clarke couldn't help but notice the transformation. Just a few months ago this room was filled with canvas' and paints and drawings but now it's filled with a bed and books with the walls painted colorfully. Clarke definitely liked it better this way.

"Hey mads." Clarke sat next to the girl on her bed, sitting was becoming harder everyday most of the time Lexa had to help her up, "We wanted to talk to you."

"Did I do something?" Even after 3 months of living with them Madi was scared they would decide they didn't want her anymore.

"Of course not." Lexa assured her, "It's about the conclave, you know that Clarke has been trying to change the rules for the Natblida's and she did it."

"Really?" Madi asked,

"Yes, from this day on Nightblood's are not permitted to die during their battles."

"So this means I get to train with them?"

"Yes." Lexa nodded, "Elena and Theo will also have to, but you guys won't be hurt."

"Ok, when?"

"Not for a couple of months." Clarke answered, "We still have some more work to do but when it's time we will tell you."

"What are you drawing?"

"It's not finished yet." Madi shyly handed the notebook over to Lexa revealing a sketch of Lexa on her throne with her face paint on.

"This is for me?" Lexa examined the paper running her fingers over the lines, everyday she's with Madi she feels new things. A new kind of feeling, a new kind of love one that she didn't know she was capable of. The love of being a parent.

"I drew Clarke so I wanted to draw you." Madi watched Lexa stare at the paper and she started to regret showing her, "It's not finished yet I still have work to do on it."

"I think it looks amazing Madi." Lexa smiled handing her the paper back. "Raven and the others will be here soon, how about you get cleaned up." Madi nodded,

"You're so good with her." Clarke said once they were back in their own room. "She adores you."

"Do you think?"

"Have you looked at her lately, she has your hair similar clothes she's a mini Lexa." She smiled,

"I am sure this one will be a mini Clarke."

"I know for a fact I will have two mini Lexa's on my hands once this one is born." Lexa helped Clarke onto their bed helping her get comfortable, "Maybe she will come out soon so I can sit without feeling like a fat monster all the time."

"You are beautiful." Lexa planted a kiss on the girls stomach, "You know we still need a name."

"I know but I hate everything." Clarke groaned, "She needs the perfect name we just have to find it."

"We've already went over so many."

"Maybe we just need to meet her." Clarke suggested, "When we meet her the perfect name will come to us."

"I can't wait to meet you little one." Lexa rubbed Clarkes belly feeling a kick,

"She loves your voice." Almost every time Lexa spoke to her belly the baby would always kick and move around, it was cute but also discomforting at the same time. "You're already the favorite."

"I have no doubt this child will favor you." She smiled, "Get some rest."

"Even if I'm not tired."

"You are always tired, now rest." She kissed her forehead before wrapping some furs around her, "I'll wake you when everyone is here."

A few hours after Ravens return everyone joined Lexa and Clarke at their home to celebrate new beginnings. The conclave isn't the only change to happen recently, pretty much everything has changed. All the clans are at peace, there is no war happening and everyone is happy.

"I found this, I thought you might want it." Raven handed Lexa a book.

"What is it?"

"Open it."

Lexa opened the small black book; she expected there to be words but they were photographs of Becca. Some were on her spaceship and others in her lab, this face wasn't new to Lexa she saw it almost every day but it was nice holding something of hers.

"Thank you." Lexa smiled at her friend,

"I also found something else, there was a map leading to what I think is another one of Becca's labs. It might have a lot of useful stuff in it so in a few months maybe we can track it down."

"In a few months." Lexa nodded, "Right now let's just enjoy this."

It had been five long days of continuous rain and Clarke was stuck inside completely bored. Lexa had to visit Polaris often for meetings and training sometimes taking Madi with her.

Today the rain was pouring down heavily, and Clarke was making food for her and Madi. Lexa wouldn't be home until later, so it was just them.

"Eat Madi, your book will be there when your done I promise."

"I'm at a good part." Madi sighed picking up her fork and eating some of her vegetables, "Do you think Lexa will read to me later?"

"I'm sure if you ask her, she would love to." Clarke smiled, Madi had been reading on her own for a little while now but she still loved reading with Clarke or Lexa. "Only if you eat all of your food though."

Clarke chuckled as Madi hastily ate her food trying to make it disappear as quickly as possible.

After cleaning Clarke retired in her chair pushed by her favorite window, it gave her a great view of the waterfall even with the rain. The trees were greener than ever and she wanted to enjoy them as much as she could before the winter came.

"Clarke can we draw?" Madi asked,

"Of course, we can draw by the window." Clarke got up from her chair walking over to get her supplies when she felt her stomach cramp up. "Ugh."

"Clarke?"

"I'm fine I just-." She paused feeling a sticky wetness flow down her legs. "Oh no."

"Clarke what's going on?" Madi ran over to the woman trying to figure out how to help,

"Madi I think the baby's coming." Clarke was trying not to panic but it was hard, it was pouring ran outside and the only person in the house was an eight-year-old, "I need-."

"Lexa told me what to do, she said that if anything is wrong to radio her or Abby." Madi ran off to get the radio while Clarke made her way to the couch to lay down, she couldn't make it to the room the way her contractions were hitting her.

"Breathe Clarke, just breathe." She whispered to herself,

"She wants to talk to you." Madi handed her the radio,

"Clarke, I'm on the way to get you ok?"

"I can't move Lexa." Clarke mumbled trying to stop her tears,

"Everything is going to be ok ai hondes I promise, just stay calm."

"Please hurry."

Madi took the radio back listening to what Lexa was telling her to do but Clarke wasn't listening. The only thing she could focus on was keeping herself calm while she tracked her contractions.

"Clarke!" she heard someone come through the door,

"Lexa?"

"It's Octavia, she's right behind me. We have to get you to medical."

"I can't I-."

"Your pregnancy has been too risky; Abby wants you to have the baby where all the equipment is." Octavia explained, "Don't worry we're going to get you there."

"Clarke! How are you feeling?" Lexa bent next to the girl grabbing her hand,

"Like I want to have this baby so the pain will stop!" Clarke whined; she took in the sight of her wife. She was soaking wet her braids unraveling and her face clean of any war paint. Her greens reminded her of the trees she was just admiring 30 minutes ago and they were beautiful.

"We're ready." Max called from the door,

"Ok Clarke, you can't walk so we are going to carry you ok?" Clarke nodded, Bellamy, Max, Octavia, and Lexa helped her onto a wood plank they found to act as a gurney. While Max and Bellamy carried her while Octavia, Madi, and Lexa held some tarp above her so she wouldn't get wet.

When they arrived in medical Abby and Jackson were prepping everything for the birth.

"Sit her here." Abby led them to a bed, "Clarke honey how far apart are the contractions?"

"Every four minutes, I think I've been trying to focus just-."

"It's ok honey, we'll have to see how far you've dilated." Abby and Jackson quickly cut open the girls pants giving her a gown before checking everything.

Clarke tried to focus on her breathing thankfully she had Lexa there holding her hand the whole time. They found out she was dilated 8 inches which was far along, at 10 she could start pushing but she was getting anxious.

"I hope she has your curls." Clarke looked over to Lexa, her hair was drying and her curls were crazy around her face. She looked beautiful. "And your smile."

"She'll be beautiful no matter what." Lexa smiled, "I can't wait to see her."

"Ok Clarke it's time to start pushing." Abby ordered,

The pain was unbearable, it was worse than anything she ever felt in her life but telling herself it was worth it got her through. The thought of seeing her beautiful baby girl made her fight. She would go through so much worse for both of her little girls and when she finally held the little girl in her arms she knew it was all worth it.

"She's beautiful Clarke." Abby had tears streaming down her face and she wasn't the only one.

Clarke and Lexa watched as Jackson cleaned the little girl off checking her over before handing her to her mom's. Curly hair was peeking through the blanket as Clarke held the little baby. Her skin was tan like Lexa's and she had hair like the sun, as soon as the little one opened her eyes all Clarke could see was Lexa.

"She's the perfect mix of both of us." Clarke smiled, she looked over to Lexa whose whole face was wet from tears. She watched as she stared at the baby in awe like she was delivered from the sky by an angel. "Do you want to hold her."

"I- I don't know how." Lexa whispered, all she wanted to do was cuddle her little baby but she was scared, scared she wouldn't be good enough, scared her arms would give out and drop her, scared her daughter wouldn't like being in her arms.

"Hold your arms out." Clarke instructed, she laid the baby in her arms making sure her head wouldn't fall, "She's so perfect."

Lexa looked down meeting green eyes that looked just like hers and she knew she would never be able to put her down. She didn't cry she just looked up at Lexa examining her face.

"Hi little one." She whispered, "ai laik yu nomon."

"What should we name her?" Clarke cuddled up next to Lexa watching the baby squeeze her fingers,

"I don't know but you were right, it has to be perfect." Lexa smiled watching the baby squirm around in her arms before crying,

"She's probably hungry." Abby interrupted, "Clarke you should try breastfeeding, it may be a little tricky at first but it get easier."

After an hour of trying to breastfeed Clarke finally got it and the baby latched on, she was started to get frustrated even with Lexa's reassurance. She was starting to think she had already failed at being a mother then she remembered they still hadn't checked to see if she was a Nightblood.

"We need to check." Clarke said as she continued breastfeeding the baby, she could tell Lexa was anxious about it, "It'll be ok, she'll be safe."

"Ok." Lexa nodded, she grabbed a pin and one of the baby's fingers. She wanted to do it but she couldn't move, even with the rule change it still made her anxious.

When she pricked her finger a pool of black blood came flooding out and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Lexa it's ok." Clarke could see her freaking out, "She'll be safe, and happy. She won't have to participate in the conclave if she doesn't want to." The rules were still up in the air but they would figure it out.

"What if she wants to." She mumbles,

"Then she'll be an amazing heda." Clarke assured her. "Our baby is here and healthy can we be happy about that?"

"Yes." She nodded, "We can."

"Good." Clarke smiled

"Knock, knock." Raven and Octavia walked through the door,

"shh." Lexa warned, "she's sleeping." She pointed over to the baby laying in her blankets.

"Oh my god look at those blonde curls." Octavia whispered, "She's adorable."

"She has eyes identical to Lexa's." Clarke smiled, she was tired but she wanted nothing more than to watch her baby sleep,

"I can't believe you two actually have a kid." Raven said sitting next to Lexa, "I'm happy for you guys."

"Thank you Raven." Lexa smiled,

"Clarke… Lexa?" a small voice entered the room slowly walking over to them, "Is it ok if I come in?"

"Of course." Clarke waved the little girl over, "You want to meet her?"

Madi nodded walking over to the sleeping baby.

"We'll give you guys some time." Octavia grabbed Raven forcing her out of the room.

"wow." Madi gently ran her fingers through the blonde curls, "What's her name?"

"We don't know yet." Lexa answered,

"Do you have any ideas?" Clarke asked,

"Mmm… how about Lorin or sky no…. Rain, it's been raining for the past few days but after she was born it stopped."

"Rain." Lexa absorbed the name; she didn't hate it honestly it was kind of perfect.

"How about Reign, spelled R-e-i-g-n." Clarke suggested,

"It's perfect." Lexa smiled,

"Reign kom Trigedakru en Skaikru."

"I love it." Lexa smiled,

"I vow to always protect her and take care of her." Madi said to the women,

"You'll take care of each other."

After a few days in Medical Clarke and Reign were finally allowed to go home which Clarke was thrilled about. She was well rested thanks to Lexa who never left her side, she got the baby every time she cried, changed dirty diapers, and rocked the baby to sleep every night. Lexa was amazing and just as she thought the baby favors her, the only time she seems to want Clarke is when she's hungry which made her feel terrible.

Madi had stepped up as well helping with the baby and cleaning around the house which they were grateful for. Once they were home the house was filled with family dying to see Reign. Clarke was grateful by how much love they were surrounded with but she needed an empty house for one day just to get herself together.

After a couple of weeks Reign started smiling and Clarke immediately cried, she was making funny faces at the little one when she started giggling. It was the first milestone she shared with Reign that Lexa hadn't been the cause of and she was proud.

"You think that's funny little one." Clarke tickled her stomach, "You're in a good mood today aren't you rainy days?" Rainy days was a nickname Clarke had given her and it stuck. "Your mama should be home soon and I know can't wait to see her."

At the mention of Lexa's name Reign started kicking and giggling to herself.

"How are my girls?" Lexa asked as soon as she walked through the door,

"We're good, Madi is with Alix." Clarke stood up helping the girl take her armor off, giving her a quick kiss, "Someone's excited to see you, maybe she'll even let you give her a bath."

"Were you good for your mommy Rainy days?" Lexa bent down capturing the giggling baby into her hands.

"I'm going to take a nap."

"Of course, I love you." Lexa kissed the blonde before heading off with the baby.

Clarke woke a couple hours later to the sound of laughter in the living area, when she entered she saw Madi and Raven playing with wooden swords while Lexa was rocking Reign on the couch.

"How's my girl?" Clarke sat beside her wife leaning in to see Reign, her big green eyes were open and to her surprise she smiled at the sight of seeing her, "She must be hungry she smiled at me."

"She's smiling because she loves her mama." Lexa corrected; Clarke hadn't said anything but she knew the blonde was feeling disconnected, like Reign didn't want her. "How was your nap?"

"Good, hopefully I can start training again and loose some of this weight."

"Clarke you are beautiful at any weight."

"As my wife you are supposed to say that." She smiled, "Plus I just miss being active, Luna's already agreed to train me."

"Why not me?" Lexa asked,

"You're busy plus she volunteered when I was talking about it the other day. Come on Reign let's get you fed." She picked up the giggling little girl taking her to her room.

So far she's only spent a few nights there since Lexa can't seem to put her down longer than an hour.

"Hey princess." Raven came in the room, "Oh I can leave-."

"It's fine Raven, I'm sure you've seen boobs before." Clarke smiled looking down at Reign,

"That I have." She smirked, "And yours are looking great by the way." She winked

"How have you been? I haven't really talked to you or O much unless it's about the baby."

"I'm fine, busy mostly. We're trying to build a water system and maybe even an electrical one as well. It's honestly hard because I'm the only smart one apparently. Monty has been useful but other than that we have no one."

"I heard Ryder has been plenty useful to you lately." Clarke smirked watching the girl blush,

"Did Lexa tell you that? God she needs to learn to mind her own business."

"So what's going on with you two?"

"nothing really we're just having amazing sex and he's helping with the physical side of building the water system." She smiled, "We sort of bonded on our trip to the dead zone, he…. Interests me."

"Maybe that interest will turn into more one day."

"Maybe, but for now we both are perfectly fine with being casual." Raven adds, "What about you, how is the mom life?"

"It's good.. great I mean obviously it's great." She forced a smiled, being a mom was great but she had her moments… her doubts.

"Cut the crap Griffin I know somethings wrong." Raven waited for the blonde to answer but instead there was just silence and then there were tears. "Clarke?"

"I'm fine, I mean I have this beautiful baby and Madi and Lexa everything is good, it could be worse you know?" Clarke wiped her tears; Reign was finished eating so she pulled her shirt up and started burping her. "I just… what if she can sense all of the bad things I've done and that's why she doesn't like me."

"Clarke why would you think she doesn't like you?"

"Because when she cries only Lexa can soothe her and when she needs something only Lexa will know what she needs and I just feel like I already failed. I love her so much but what if she doesn't love me? What If she can't?"

"Clarke I'm-."

"How could you ever say that?" Lexa interrupted, Clarke couldn't even look at her, "Raven can you give us a moment."

"Yeah, Madi wanted to show me her sword fighting so we'll be by the river."

"Clarke, do you really feel that way?" Lexa bent down to the woman's feet,

"I'm sorry, I don't want to I jus- I just don't think we've bonded as well you and she have."

"Maybe that's my fault, I always go when she cries or needs anything but I was only trying to give you a break I'm-."

"No, it isn't your fault Lexa. I love seeing you and our daughter together." Clarke smiled, "I love how she gets excited just hearing your name, I look into her eyes and I see you and it's the greatest gift I could ever have. I think I'm just struggling with post pregnancy stuff like hormones and medical stuff. I'll see my mom about it soon."

"I hope you know Reign loves you, you are an amazing mom Clarke. Without you I wouldn't be able to do this." Lexa wanted to say something more, she wanted Clarke to realize the things she did for Reign but she didn't know how. "Promise me you will talk to me if you feel worse."

"I promise." She smiled slightly; Reign was still her arms dozing off as she rocked her. She watched her eyes lazily close after trying to fight her tiredness.

"I can but her in her crib."

"I want to hold her for a little longer." She loved watching her little girl sleep especially in her arms which wasn't often.

"Ok." Lexa smiled, "I'll go get Madi ready for bed, maybe she'll want to read tonight."

"I'm sure she will." Madi had become quite the bookworm since learning a few months ago, she hoped Reign would be the same.

It was the middle of the night when Clarke woke, hearing Reigns cries from her bedroom next to them. She expected Lexa to have already been halfway to the room but she was still beside her in bed which was usual. Clarke happily got out of bed and made her way to the baby's room.

"Rainy days what's wrong?" Clarke grabbed the crying girl holding her tight as she sat on the floor, "I know you were expecting your mama I hope it's ok that I came." The crying proceeded as she rocked the girl, "I know you're not hungry, maybe you had a nightmare. Can you even have nightmares as a baby when you haven't seen much yet?" Clarke was rambling on to herself mostly hoping talking would soothe Reign but also to calm herself down. "How about we get some air?"

Clarke grabbed a blanket wrapping around Reign before walking outside, they had guards during the night for their safety and they watched as she watched walked by the water fall baby in hand.

"We can't stay long because it's getting cold but luckily for us we get a good view." She uncovered her face revealing the sky, her green eyes wondered all over trying to take everything in. This was something Reign hadn't seen before, they brought her out during the day for a few minutes but never at night. "That's where mama came from, when your older I'll tell you all about it. But for now you we get to look at all the pretty stars."

Reign had calmed down as she stared up at the sky, Clarke wondered what she would be like when she was older. Would she want to be a warrior or a healer or maybe something else? She also wondered about Madi who seemed interested in everything.

"I can't wait to see all the amazing things you do baby girl." She whispered, her green eyes were starting to doze off and she felt like finally she did something right.

She went back inside laying Reign back in her crib before going back to bed, Lexa was the lightest sleeper she knew there was no way she didn't hear the baby.

"Thank you." Clarke murmured as she cuddled next to the girl, it was obvious she let Clarke go and soothe the baby. Lexa didn't reply just gave her hand a squeeze.

For once Clarke thought maybe she was a good mom, maybe she wasn't as bad as she thought. Tonight she successfully calmed her crying baby down and got her to sleep all without Lexa's help. She did something right and that was enough to make her feel better.
