"So Clarke, you're mom tells me that you play softball." Marcus commented just as the waiter came out with their entrées. They paused the conversation as they received their meals. Thus far the dinner hadn't gone too bad. Light conversation and getting to know the man that was dating her mother, so far Clarke had approved. He was polite and definitely in love with her mother.

"Thank you," She told the waiter as he set her plate down. Once their server left, she answered Marcus with a smile. "I do."

"I hear you're pretty good too."

"She's alright." Lexa teased next to her with a shrug. Clarke smirked at her girlfriend before-

"Says the girl I stuck out twice." Before Lexa could defend herself she spoke again. "Lexa plays too." But the glare she had been giving to Clarke turned when-

"She struck you out, huh?" Marcus smiled, a bit of a teasing tone in his voice.

"Twice?" Abby added with a smirk that Clarke definitely learned from her. She had a sense that the girl was just as competitive as her daughter. Lexa rolled her eyes in stride and glared at her girlfriend who just smiled.

"Remind me again why I'm dating you?"

"Because you love me." She said and Lexa glare turned into a grin as she leaned closer.

"I do." She whispered, kissing Clarke softly before suddenly remembering who she was in front of. She pulled back suddenly with wide eyes, starring at Clarke's mother. "Sorry." She mumbled before looking down at her plate. She took a bite of her pasta just as Abby chuckled at the girl.

"It's perfectly fine Lexa. Besides I've already seen you pretty much make out earlier." She said causing Lexa and Clarke to blush. Abby enjoyed their discomfort more than she probably should have. But she'd missed out on four years of embarrassing her daughter; she had a lot of catching up to do. "I'm relieved that Clarke has found someone that seems to treat her well and makes her happy. And you've seemed to accomplish that."

"She has." Clarke added a quick kiss to Lexa's cheek causing her girlfriend to blush further. The blonde had gone back to eating her meal but Lexa's eyes had followed her after the quick peck. She had a soft, shy grin on her face as she watched Clarke. She didn't see her girlfriend's Mother watching her from across the table. Abby smiled as she could see that the brunette was 100% enamored with her daughter. Finally for the first time in years both Griffin women were happy.


"Our spring season starts in just a couple of weeks." Lexa stated as they finished with dessert. "We play each other. Abby, you and Marcus should come watch us, if you can get away from work for awhile." The brunette felt the hand that had been resting on her leg, tighten. She knew that Abby didn't make an effort to see Clarke's games, but they had made great strides tonight and she hoped if she opened the invitation, Abby would accept. She knew that Clarke wanted Abby to come to her games, they had talked about it on one of the nights they had stayed up until dawn. One thing that Lexa loved is that not only did she have a great girlfriend but Clarke has become her best friend. And this way it wouldn't have to be a big deal even if it was a huge step in repairing the mother/daughter relationship. Marcus whom also knew this was a topic that Abby was afraid to bring up before, smiled at her encouragingly.

"I think I could take an afternoon off, Abby what about you?" All three pairs of eyes turned to her, and everyone was equally surprised to find tears in her eyes. It had been one of her favorite things to watch Jake and Clarke practicing in the back yard, and she and Jake loved to cheer Clarke on from the stands. When he died it had been too hard for Abby to go alone, not only did she feel (and was) letting her daughter down, she felt like she was letting Jake down also. But she just couldn't do it, and by the time she healed and wanted to be there to cheer her daughter on again, there was just too much animosity between them.

She smiled wide when she answered. "I would love nothing more. It's been way too long since I've seen you play, to see that joy radiate from you on that field." Clarke gave a watery smile and nod, before it finally gave to a wet chuckle.

"Well then, hopefully it will be a good game." Marcus said, relieving the tension at the table, even if it was a welcome one. A few minutes later the waiter brought the check and Lexa and Marcus argued over who should pay. Marcus finally won on the basis he was a semi-wealthy surgeon and Lexa was a poor high school student, plus he and Abby hijacked their two month anniversary dinner.

"Well played Sir." Lexa commented as he slid his debit card along with the check and handed it back to the waiter. "Thank you." She said sincerely.

"It's my pleasure. I'm glad I got to me you two."

"It was really nice to meet you Marcus."

"Yes, and I'm glad that you have made my Mom happy again." Clarke said making the older woman blush.


Marcus excused himself go use the restroom before they left and that's when Abby decided to ask. "So what are your plans for the rest of the night?"

"Um, I think we're just going to back to my house for a little bit and watch a movie." Lexa answered.

"Is movie code for sex?" Abby questioned causing Clarke to choke on the water she was taking a drink of.

"Oh my God, Mom!" Clarke reddened and looked over to Lexa who had also blushed and eyes were about to bulge out of her eyes and stuttering.

"N-uh-No-"

"What Clarke, I'm not under the impression you two don't have sex. I just want to-"

"We're not!"

"Oh my God, please stop." Lexa and Clarke shouted at the same time, neither wanted to continue the mortifying conversation.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about." Abby shrugged nonchalantly. "I do remember how it is to be a teenager believe it or not. I don't expect you to wait until you're married. You know I'm not old fashioned, I just want you girls to be safe."

"Mom, please stop." Clarke cringed, she didn't want her mother making her girlfriend uncomfortable.

Abby chuckled at her daughter and Lexa's embarrassment. "Fine, I'll stop but just know that you're always welcome at the house Lexa." She stood up as she saw Marcus walking towards the table.

"It was nice to meet you." He said and both younger girls stood as well as they got ready to leave.

"Y-you too Dr. Griffin."

"Abby." She reminded.

"Right." Lexa nodded, still uncomfortable from the previous conversation, then stiffened even more when the older woman gave her a quick hug. Clarke smirked at her girlfriends discomfort then went to hug her mom. It was the first hug between them in a long time, and both Griffin women were more than happy to start afresh.

"You've found a good one, Mom. I'm glad to see you happy again." Clarke whispered into her mother's ear.

"You too honey." She kissed her daughters cheek before pulling away. "Have fun tonight." Abby winked, embarrassing her daughter all over again. Before she had a chance to retort Marcus had stepped in her space.

"Clarke, I just want to thank you for allowing me to get to know you tonight. I can't wait to see the game in a few weeks."

"It was really nice to meet you Marcus and I'm glad that she has you." Both couples walked out of the restaurant together but soon parted ways as they hit the parking lot. Lexa put her arm around Clarke's shoulders as they walked to the car. The blonde put her arms around Lexa's waist and smiled when she felt her girlfriend's lips on her cheek.

"So…I don't want to make you upset or anything…but your mom is super embarrassing." Lexa admitted. "Cool, but embarrassing." Clarke chuckled next to her. "I mean she pretty much gave me the green light to defile her daughter."

Clarke outright laughed. "She did…so how do you feel about that?" She asked as they made it to the passenger side of car. They stopped and looked at each other for a moment. Clarke held her breathe, she was ready to take the next step in their relationship, but they hadn't talked about it.

Lexa smirked. "I really feel like defiling her daughter." She answered and saw Clarke's eyes widen and mouth fell open. The blonde was definitely not expecting that answer. Lexa, however misinterpreted surprise for something else and suddenly looked panicked. "Shit, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have assumed just because I'm ready that you'd be too. I'll wait however long you ne-" Her ramble cut off for the second time that night by Clarke's lips.

"I love you." Clarke whispered. "And I'm ready. You're answer just kinda took me by surprise." She giggled. "A lot by surprise, but I'm glad to hear that you're ready too. I didn't know how to bring it up." Lexa smiled, relieved, she slowly leaned in but stopped just short of the blonde's gorgeous mouth. Clare pushed forward to meet Lexa's lips but the brunette pulled back with a smirk as she whispered.

"I knew you wanted a piece of this."

"Shut up," Clarke stated with a laugh and a push at her girlfriend. Lexa laughed as she caught her girlfriend's wrist and brought her closer, wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist.

"I love your laugh." Lexa stated and Clakre smiled wider. "And your smile." The brunette ran the pad of her thumb across Clarke's bottom lip. "You're lips." She brushed a hair out of her face and curled it around her ear. "I love you Clarke Griffin."
