Chapter 6
"Oh my god!" Clarke yells. Lexa stands up and sees Maki holding her shoulder. Both Clarke & Lexa run over to the warrior.
"You okay, Maki?" Lexa asked as she looks at the warrior looking at the blood leaking out of her shoulder.
"I will be." Maki said standing up. Raven tries to look at her wound, but she's no doctor.
"Let me see." Clarke said taking a look at Maki's wound. "She's going to need stitches." Clarke said.
"That's fine. Can we go back to Polis?" Maki asked as she winces in pain.
"Yes. I think we should pack Hodnes." Lexa said looking at her blonde.
Clarke nods. "Okay, I'll pack up things for Kinn, and we can leave." Clarke said guiding Maki to medical.
"Who shot Maki?!" Raven yells in anger. No one answers her, but she felt like she knew who it was. Raven just shakes her head, and heads into medical.
…..
With Clarke
Clarke is packing up her stuff to leave for Polis. She and Lexa are getting married anyway so it would be good for them if they do leave. Clarke packs up some clothes for herself, and for Lexa. She and Lexa are the same size. Clarke looks down at her finger and smiles. She'd never thought she would be getting married at the age of 18, let alone having a child. She loves Lexa & Kinn with all of her heart, but the love she has for her people, has come to a halt. Everything that Pike has done to Trikru, has basically turn their peace into bullshit. A knock disturbs Clarke.
"What?" Clarke said as she continues to Pack.
"It's Bellamy." Bell said from the other side of the door.
Clarke sighs. She doesn't want to talk to him. Clarke takes a deep breath, and opens the door. "What is it?" Clarke asked.
"Can we talk?" Bellamy asked.
"Talk." Clarke said not moving away from her spot.
Bell sighs. "Why are you going back?" He asked.
"I have a son now Bellamy, or did you forget that? You killed 300 innocent people, I can't even look at you." Clarke said as she continues to pack her stuff.
"Clarke, she betrayed you." Bellamy said with anger. He can't believe Clarke is leaving.
Clarke scoffs. "We're not talking about this. I'm getting married, and you're not going to stop me. By the way, if Pike wants to play hard ball, tell him to bring it." Clarke says angrily as she walks away from Bellamy. Clarke turns the corner to see Raven standing by Maki with her stuff.
"You ready?" Clarke asked the young girl.
"More than ever. I need to get the fuck out of here before I lose my mind." Raven said picking up her bag.
"I'll take that hodnes." Maki said giving Raven a kiss on the cheek.
Raven blushes. "Thank you." Raven said with a grin.
Clarke chuckles at her. "See, not all of them are bad." Clarke said nudging Raven's shoulder a little.
"Yeah, you're right. I can't believe we all thought that." Raven said leaning into Maki.
"Pike told you guys." Maki said rubbing Raven's shoulder. Maki has never met anyone like Raven before, and it make her heart swell.
Lexa comes out with Kinn in her arms. "He's ready." Lexa said kissing her son's head.
"Hey bug. Come here." Clarke said taking Kinn out of Lexa's arms. They made Kinn perfectly. He's the cutest boy ever.
"He's so cute." Raven said as she touches Kinn's feet.
Lexa smiles. "Do we have everything?" Lexa asked.
"Yeah, I think we do. I got some extra thing for us, and Kinn." Clarke said trying to bend down to pick up her bags.
"No way. You have Kinn." Lexa said picking up the bags. "Let's go home." Lexa said kissing Clarke's head. They all head out towards the gates of Arkadia, but Abby stops them.
"Wait!" Abby yells making them turn around. "I'm going with you." Abby said with a smile.
"Me too." Kane said picking his and Abby's bags. Pike walks out and sees them.
"What's going on Abby?" Pike asked.
"I'm leaving, I'm not staying here. You can, but I'm not." That's all Abby says before heading towards the gate.
"Sorry Pike." Kane shrugs leaving the mad man behind. Kane respects Lexa, and he's sure if he goes, she'll be grateful.
"Wait for me!" Murphy said running over to them. He stops when he runs out of breath.
"You okay?" Clarke said rubbing his back.
"Yeah, there's no way I'm staying here, and risk getting killed for something I didn't do. I think going to Polis is my best chance." John said truthfully.
"Good point." Raven said.
"Open the gate!" Clarke yells at the guards, and they do. The gate opens, and they all leave heading out. They all hear a horse, and it's Octavia, and Lincoln. Sinclair, Monty, Harper, & more of their people follow them. Clarke is surprised that Jasper even came. That made the blonde suspicious on Jasper, but she'll let it go for now. Lexa helps Clarke onto a wagon, so she wouldn't walk all the way with Kinn in her arms. Maki helps Raven up because of her leg. Of course, Murphy just doesn't want to walk so he gets on the wagon as well. The ride back to Polis was filled with laughter, as some of the Skaikru kids tell the grounders some of their funny stories. Clarke told them about the time she & Wells pulled a prank on Pike, and everyone damn near peed their pants on that one. Lexa even laughed, and she doesn't laugh as much. The grounders even had some funny moments. Lexa told them the time she was training with Anya the first time. Lexa told them that Anya put a bug into her pants. Clarke was on the verge of tears, because it was so funny. Even grounders can have fun from time to time. Clarke smiles at Kinn who's sleeping in her arms. This is her life now, and she's happy about it.
…..
Back in Polis
They finally arrive in Polis, and Jaki comes up to them.
"Welcome back, Heda." Jaki said with a smile.
"Thank you Jaki." Lexa said getting off of her horse. Lexa goes over to the stables, and puts her horse away.
"Has everything been okay?" Lexa asked Jaki.
Jaki looks down to the ground. "No, Heda. Something went wrong while you were away." Jaki said.
Lexa frowns. "What happened Jaki?" Lexa asked with a stern tone.
"We have a traitor here in Polis, Heda. We need to speak in private." Jaki said seriously. Jaki knows that the traitor might be listening.
Lexa nods. "Clarke, come here love." Lexa calls the blonde over. Clarke walks over to them.
"Hey Jaki." Clarke greets the woman. Clarke sees the look on Lexa's face, and knows something is wrong. "What's going on?" Clarke asked.
"That's what I'm about to find out. I'll be back, okay?" Lexa said kissing Clarke's head, and Kinn's.
"No way, I'm going with you." Clarke said shifting Kinn in her arms.
"Clarke…" Lexa starts off.
"I said, I'm going with you." Clarke said sternly. "Mom." Clarke calls out for her mother.
Abby walks over to Clarke. "Yes, honey? What's wrong?" Abby asked with worried eyes.
"Nothing, yet. Can you take Kinn for me?" Clarke asked.
"Sure. Come here baby." Abby takes her grandson, and goes over to Kane.
"Shall we?" Clarke asked with her arms crossed. No way she's sitting out of this one.
"Hodnes, please. Let me handle this, and I'll call you in. Watch over our son, I promise I'll tell you what's going on." Lexa said taking Clarke's hands into her.
Clarke sighs. "Fine, I swear if you lie to me, I will unleash Wanheda, and it won't be pretty Lexa." Clarke said with an angry tone.
Lexa knows that tone, and she knows Clarke is not lying to her. "I promise." Lexa kisses Clarke and heads inside of Polis with Jaki. Maki goes after them along with Indra. Octavia and Raven walk over to her.
"What's going on?" O asked looking at Lexa walking up the stairs.
Clarke sighs. "I don't know, O. I swear if Lexa lies to me again, or betray me, I'm leaving her, and I'm taking Kinn." Clarke said sternly.
Raven and Octavia instantly knows that Clarke is not playing games. Now, that she's a mother, Clarke has to take things seriously now, not just for herself, but for her son, her people, and Lexa.
"Woah, Clarke. I don't think Lexa is going to do that again. She wouldn't even think about it. After what happened the last time, I think she got the point." Raven said.
"Since when are you a fan of Lexa?" Octavia asked with a raised brow.
"Since Lexa got our friend pregnant, and she took us in, when she could've killed us because of your stupid brother. That's when. Raven Reyes is not dying no time soon." Raven said with a smirk.
"Good point." Octavia said with a smile. All of a sudden her stomach growls.
"I hope everything is okay." Clarke said with a worried tone. She can't to feel this way.
"I'm pretty sure everything is Clarke. Come on, let's go eat. I'm starving." Octavia said walking over to the food court. Clarke and Raven follow.
…..
With Lexa
Lexa turns to look at Jaki with angry eyes. She can't believe what her friend just told her.
"What do you mean Emerson is alive, Jaki? How is that even possible, and Clarke cut him 49 fucking times?" Lexa asked angrily.
Jaki shakes her head. "Someone, kill our guards and hid their bodies. They cut Emerson loose, and sent him to a healer. We got this information from Pevi." Jaki explained.
"Then who is that outside tied up and burnt to a crisp out in the market place?" Lexa asked getting angrier by the minute.
"That's a warrior who died when Emerson killed him. He made it look like it was him. Now, the Clans are all coming here, now that Emerson told Azgeda about Clarke's pregnancy." Jaki said.
Lexa pinches the bridge of her nose. "Now, all the clans are going to want to talk about war against Skaikru. Azgeda is going to kill Kinn." Lexa sits on her throne with her face in her hands.
Maki speaks. "We won't let that happen, Heda. We have strong warriors, and I will protect my nephew down to my last breath. I'm protecting my woman too. I won't let anything happen." Maki said with pride. She'll be damn if she lets anything happen to any of her friends, or her girlfriend.
Lexa looks up at Maki and gives her a small smile. "I know, but Azgeda tortured Costia, and killed her. What do you think they'll do to Clarke, or Kinn? I'm not letting them hurt my family. I'm the first commander to ever have a kid, and I'm about to get married to the love of my life, and I will fight to my death if I have too." Lexa said standing up.
"Heda, what about Pike? He could be on his way here right now." Indra stated.
Lexa nods. "You're right. Call the scouts, and Kane. Tell them to search the woods. Octavia and Lincoln can also lookout." Lexa instructed.
"Sha, Heda." Indra nods and leaves with Maki to go deliver the message.
"Now, what?" Jaki asked with fear in her voice. Jaki is scared out of her mind because the last time Trikru was at war blood was everywhere.
"Is Titus still down in the cells?" Lexa asked Jaki.
Jaki nods. "He is." Jaki told Lexa.
"Good." Lexa said as she leaves her throne room.
…..
Later on at night
Lexa's scouts told her everything was clear with Pike, he didn't follow them much to their surprise, but now Lexa has to tell Clarke everything, and that's going to worry Lexa, because she knows her blonde is going to be pissed. Lexa looks over at Kinn who's sleeping right beside her, she smiles at her son, her and Clarke's beautiful creation. She'd never thought she'll be having a child with someone who's not in her clan. Kinn makes a cute baby noise in his sleep, and Lexa chuckles at him, he's just the most honest thing Lexa's ever had (well besides Clarke of course), she loves her son, and Clarke, and she'll do anything to protect them.
Clarke comes out of the back with her panties and bra on, she dries her hair, and looks at the scene before her.
"I can't believe you're here son. Don't you know you have the most beautiful mommy in the whole world? She has blonde hair, and blue eyes. She has the prettiest smile that can light up the whole room. I love mommy so much son, can't wait to marry her." Lexa said rubbing her son's back.
Clarke's tears falls down her eyes. "I love you too." Clarke said. Lexa turns to look at Clarke.
"You heard all that?" Lexa asked Clarke.
"Yeah, and I can't wait to marry you too." Clarke said going over to pick up Kinn. She puts him in his crib that the blacksmith built for him. She puts the covers over his small body and kisses him goodnight.
Clarke gets into bed, and straddles Lexa. Clarke leans down to kiss her love. Lexa places her hands on Clarke's hips.
Lexa pulls away and leans her head onto the headboard.
Clarke frowns. "What's wrong baby?" Clarke asked putting her hand on the back of Lexa's neck.
"Emerson is alive Clarke, someone here in Polis betrayed me, and freed him. He told the clans about your pregnancy, but I'm more worried about Azgeda." Lexa said.
Clarke scoffs. "You're joking right?" The blonde questions. How is that even possible? Clarke asked herself in her mind. Someone betraying Lexa is the worst thing anybody can do.
Lexa shakes her head. "No, I'm not. Azgeda is going to want war against me, and my people. Not to mention, I didn't kill Pike so that's a double war." Lexa said angrily.
Clarke chuckles darkly, and gets off of Lexa. "Did Titus tell anyone? He could've said something Lexa. I swear if anyone comes near our son, I'll killing them." Clarke said angrily, no one is touching her son.
"I know, Clarke, but we have to get ready for this war, I know Azgeda is going to want to attack. No telling what kind of deal Emerson made with them, or the other clans." Lexa runs her hand through her hair.
Clarke nods. "I know, but we have to tell everyone in the morning." Clarke wraps her arms around Lexa's neck and pulls her in for a kiss.
Lexa moans into Clarke's mouth. "Okay." Lexa mumbles against her lips. Lexa picks Clarke up and takes her to bed, Lexa gets in between her legs, and grinds into her.
Clarke moans quietly so she won't wake up Kinn, Clarke's hands roam everywhere on Lexa's body. Lexa breaks the kiss, and puts her face into Clarke's neck.
"You sure you're ready for this?" Lexa asked mumbling into Clarke's neck.
"Born ready." Clarke said rubbing Lexa's back. She knows it must be hard to be a commander, and have to protect a lot of people. Clarke knows Lexa's stressed out, she knows Lexa wants to have a normal life, without war, and death. Clarke knows what she's getting herself into by marrying Lexa, let alone having a baby with her. She's going to stick by Lexa until the end.
"We will start training tomorrow. So be ready for it." Lexa said tiredly.
"I will. I love you Lexa." Clarke said holding onto her love.
"I love you more Clarke." Lexa said falling asleep while she's on top of Clarke.
Clarke reaches over and blows the candle out making it pitch black in their room. Clarke falls asleep with a grip on Lexa.
….
With Clarke
Clarke lights up a candle, and checks the time on her father's watch. Its 1:00 am, and Clarke can't sleep for shit. She changes Kinn, and tried to go back to sleep, but she couldn't. Clarke gets out of bed and slips on a shirt, and shorts. She opens the door quietly so she wouldn't wake up Lexa or Kinn. Clarke closes the door gently.
"You okay, Clarke?" A familiar voice asked her. Clarke turns to see Maki sitting in a chair drinking some water.
"No, Lexa told me everything. How are you feeling about this?" Clarke asked sitting down herself.
Maki sighs. "Clarke, I've been with Heda, ever since we were babies, this war that's coming is going to be one of the worst ones. We've beaten Azgeda before, but I don't know about this one. I don't doubt Heda, I doubt some of these people, if one person betrayed our Clan, then more will." Maki explained.
Clarke nods. "I understand. So, what do we do Maki?" Clarke questioned. She could really use some good news right now.
"We fight. I have a feeling that Titus did some shit before he tried to kill you. Maybe he's the one who made the deal with Azgeda. Who knows? Titus wasn't around as much after Lexa's meetings." Maki said.
"Hmm, good point. Is Raven okay?" Clarke asked.
"Hold on." Maki stands up and opens her room door to check on Raven who's still sleeping. She closes the door. "Yep, out like a light." Maki sits back down.
"Thanks for taking care of her." Clarke said with a smile. "She needs to be happy." Clarke said.
"I happy she's here. I'm always going to care for Raven, maybe we could start a family of our own, having little mechanics running around trying to blow up shit." Maki laughs.
Clarke laughs at Maki. "Yeah, that would be about right. Raven loves things that go boom." Clarke said.
"Thanks for being with Heda, giving her Kinn. Heda needs to be happy, and she has that with you and little man." Maki said winking at Clarke.
"Always. I love her so much Maki. Look, I think that we should talk to Titus. What do you think?" The blond questioned.
Maki nods. "You got a deal Clarke. It's time to get some answers. We'll ask him after training." Maki said standing up.
"Alright. Goodnight, Maki." Clarke said hugging her.
"Night Clarke." Maki hugs back before retreating to her room. Clarke goes back into hers, and slips her clothes back off. Clarke walks back over to the bed, and slips back in.
"You okay?" Lexa asked waking up. She looks over at Clarke.
"I will be. Go back to sleep, I'll be okay." Clarke said kissing Lexa with passion. Clarke pulls back lays down.
"I love you, Hodnes." Lexa said falling to sleep.
Clarke smiles. "I love you more." Clarke blows the candle out and falls back to sleep. She hopes everything is going to run smoothly when she wakes up.
