You guys,

thank you for your kind reviews.

I'm glad I am not the only one who would like to see more of our Griffin girls.

The next morning Clarke opened her eyes and tried to figure out what was wrong.

When her senses all came back she realized half of her body was numb.

She looked over and saw Madi sleeping with her head on her upper chest and her leg hanging on top of Clarke's.

It had been a long time since Madi had slept with her.

The whole last year they were on the earth she kept telling her she wasn't a baby anymore and she didn't need cuddles.

She smiled and nuzzled towards her daughter, ignoring that she couldn't feel her left leg, or ribs.

The whole skaikru was on the dining room with the addition of Diyoza, Gaia and Niylah, although they weren't eating breakfast.

They had reduced their portions to one per day just to be sure they wouldn't starve before they went down on the new planet.

The people that had witnessed yesterday's event all seemed restless.

Especially Bellamy.

But when Clarke entered the room no one spoke.

She, of course, didn't sit with them.

She had made that mistake the first day when she had joined them and immediately turned to their mental punching bag.

So from that point on she had selected the most distant table and she always sat there. After only a few days she was considering it her own, and it seemed like the rest of the people thought the same, since no one was ever occupying it, except for Jordan, Madi and Abby.

But she didn't went there either. She made her way towards Gaia.

"Hi."

"Good morning." Gaia returned a little confused and curious. Clarke wasn't too keen on pleasantries with her ever in the past, she needed something.

"Could we talk?"

"Of course."

They walked to her table, the most private one and stood down on opposite ends.

"I'd like a favor from you." Clarke cut to the chase. Gaia waited for her to continue.

"I'd like you to teach me everything you know about handling the flame."

Gaia got serious.

"Wanheda, what you're asking…" she was interrupted.

"Madi had a nightmare last night. One worse than I have ever had, and I have killed more or less a thousand people and saw almost everyone I love, die.

She's twelve, and she needs help."

"I can help her."

"You're not doing it though."

"Wanhed..."

"My name is Clarke." she interrupted again. Gaia nodded

"Clarke, this is unfortunately part of the process. The commander is strong."

"I know she is strong but she is hurting. You said you can help her. How?"

Gaia thought for a little "The commanders they will show her everything she needs to know including how to control her nightmares. "

Clarke wasn't satisfied.

"They didn't show Lexa, though. I was there when she was having a nightmare."

"She must had been ignoring them."

"Are you telling me, some dead people might be pounding in my daughter's head if she doesn't do as they say?"

"Clarke, it's not that simple. The commanders they're Madi's personal council. She can go to them and they will come to her. Madi is going to need them and when she thinks she doesn't they will still advise her. She has the upper hand, but they can try at all times to bring them to their side"

"Gaia, will she be able to control them?"

"Not entirely, but as better as she cooperates with them, they won't need to invade her privacy."

Clarke tried very hard not to scream, she instead sighed.

"Will you be able to help her?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Whenever she wants."

" How about now?"

"Wan…" Gaia caught herself before calling Clarke Wanheda again ",Clarke she hasn't asked for help."

"She is my daughter, of course she hasn't asked for help. She is stubborn.

So here's what I am asking; If you don't teach me, will you be there for her, help her when I can't ?"

Gaia didn't answer she just nodded, looking at Clarke knowingly and sincerely and left the room.

Later that afternoon, when once again Clarke was sitting alone on her table with her sketchbook on her knee, Madi approached her.

"Hello." Clarke greeted when Madi just stood there with her arms crossed.

"So I had an interesting morning." The girl finally said and sat down on Clarke's opposite side.

Clarke stopped drawing for a moment and then continued with a little smirk on her face.

"Oh yeah? What'd you do?"

Madi huffed. Of course she wouldn't admit it.

"Oh you know had just got out of bed after a nightmare kept me up most of the night…"

"Yes, I was present."

The blond replied with all the naivety she could, like it was no big deal.

Clarke heard a something falling from the other end of the room. Both women turned and show Miller and Bellamy looking anywhere but at them. Miller was a little red at the face and was picking up the little knife he had dropped.

Madi huffed again.

"I know. And then Gaia knocked at my door."

"What a nice surprise!" Clarke told her with fake excitement.

A muffled snort was heard and this time Clarke noticed the dining room had become a lot quieter than before.

Shaw had joined the two guys and Jackson had just stood up from where he was sitting with a few skaipeople she just barely recalled their names from before praimfaya.

Jackson had turned his face but his shoulders were going up and down.

'Come on guys it's not even that funny' Clarke thought but chose to ignore them after that.

"You're surprised Clarke?" Madi asked, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Were you expecting her?"

Clarke resumed the charade.

"No."

"Well, that seems like a surprise to me." Clarke replied like she didn't understand.

Miller banged his head on the metal table and silently burst into laughter, Bellamy was very amused himself. It was truly a rare situation Clarke Griffin was being silly.

"Real subtle, boys." she commented towards them, and they didn't even try to hide their reaction.

"You too, Clarke. Sending Gaia to help me hours after the nightmare." Madi added.

Clarke got serious.

"Did she help?"

Madi sat down and exhaled.

"Clarke..."

"No, I know, I'm supposed to be cool with all of this. And I trust you, more than myself even. But I wanna make this easier for you. I wanna help, and if that means I'mma sit back here and just wait for you and Gaia to figure this out. I will..."

"Clarke, thank you."

Clarke lost track of her words.

"What?"

"Gaia, did help. She explained a few things for me. Even helped me communicate with the commanders."

Clarke smiled.

"She did?"

"Yes, and she will continue helping me. We will meet regularly and work on my connection with them."

"I am very happy for you, Madi."

"She also told me you said I was too stubborn."

"The snitch." Clarke lightened the mood again.

"Don't call her that." Madi said but she was smiling.

"Okay. You are though, you know stubborn."

Madi made a sound that clearly said 'unbelievable'

"You're calling me stubborn. You? The woman who spoke to a damn radio for six years, believing it worked without any proof."

Clarke stiffed a little. Nobody knew about the radio calls, or at least that she knew of, and it seemed like everyone was currently listening.

Madi noticed and breathed a quick 'sorry'.

Clarke looked around and nobody seemed to notice. Jackson had left with Miller, and Shaw was currently talking Bellamy's ears out about Raven.

They spent quite some time just sitting there. Raven and Echo had joined Shaw and Bellamy at some point and they were chatting while Madi was eating and Clarke was just sitting there sometimes drawing for a few minutes then just sitting again.

"Clarke?" Madi asked when she returned from leaving her plate.

"Yes." Clarke looked at her daughter.

"Remember, back home, when we had classes?"

Clarke smiled.

"I remember you hated them."

Madi blushed.

"Well, I was thinking you could continue teaching me to draw."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, I thought if I ever saw anything useful in those nightmares I could draw it so you could see it too."

"Okay," the blonde paused "IF,"

"Oh here we go." Madi sighed,

"If you make the beds for a week."

"Done."

"Aaand you tell me what you are doing with Gaia."

"Woah."

Madi got serious.

"Clarke, this is something that doesn't concern a skaiperson like yourself."

"Madi Griffin I swear to..." Clarke used her most mom like tone in a mix with her more threatening one.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Relax".

Madi giggled with her arms on the air.

It had been a long time since Clarke had heard her daughter laugh like that.

She surely enjoyed it.

"So will you show me how to draw?" Madi asked again once she stopped giggling.

"Will you keep me in the loop about your other lessons, your highness?" Clarke asked her back.

"Aren't they very chipper considering last night?"

Raven asked the group around her.

"They have been like this for a while now."

Shaw commented.

"I just hope they're not burying it." Raven said.

"They don't have to bury it. Yesterday was hard but they dealt with it at that moment, and now they have already overcame it."

Raven didn't know what to say.

"Isn't Madi too happy though? It seemed like a horrible dream I wouldn't handle it that well."

"Why do you think Clarke has been like this today?" Bellamy commented for the first time.

"First she helped Madi by sending Gaia to her, and when Madi feels better, she makes all the jokes she can, so the girl gets distracted.

She would dress as a clown right now if she thought that would help."

Echo looked at Bellamy like she was looking for something. He felt her stare and turnt to her.

She smiled and so did he.

But she wasn't sure if she found what she was looking for. Or what was it that she was looking for.

"I'm surprised you care though, Raven." Bellamy addressed the mechanic again.

"You have pretty much shouted again and again that you don't care about Clarke."

Raven flinched for a second, like she was just busted.

"I care about Madi, though. And I was worried about her relationship with Clarke before.

I still am, actually."

Bellamy caught a glimpse of Abby walking outside of the dining room, as Raven finished talking.

He stood up and before he left he came closer to Raven.

"Don't try and come between them, Reyes. It won't end up good for you."

And he was gone after Abby. He called her name and ran towards her.

She turned and looked at him, a little surprised.

"Bellamy."

"Hi, umm, I, I just wanted to see if you were okay. After last night."

Abby's face darkened a little.

"Yes, thank you for that."

They stood there, quite awkwardly, when Bellamy talked again.

"Look, I don't know what happened at the bunker those six years, but I feel the same way you do about Clarke, about Octavia.

From what I gathered you feel like you lost your connection with your daughter, and I feel like I have lost my sister. Whatever made her Octavia isn't there anymore."

"Bellamy, I could tell you exactly what happened. But maybe it would help more if you actually talked with Octavia about this. Tell her what you did, up there for six years, ask her about the bunker, and don't judge her."

She sighed

"I meant it when I said those six years didn't treat us well. But down there Octavia took Clarke's motto without knowing it. She bore it all, so we didn't have too. Only, her burden, I'm not sure you AND Clarke could handle."

"Thank you." Bellamy had a lot of things to think. But before they had parted Bellamy called her again.

"If you need a new connection with Clarke, maybe talk to Madi a little more." Abby smiled. How hadn't she thought about that?

"And maybe you should sit down and talk with her." Abby meant well, Βellamy knew it but it hit a nerve.

Abby was gone and he was left alone in the empty corridor.

She was the second person in two days to tell him to talk to Clarke.

There was nothing left to discuss.
