Bellamy's POV

Seeing Clarke's broken form on the ground was the most heart-breaking thing that could have happened to me, next to believing her dead for the last six years.

After I threatened the three hundred and eighty-three people in exchange for Clarke's life, I made a deal with them in which they would help us open the bunker and we would share the valley equally, none of their men would die.

Clarke was then carried away to a prison cell where they had laid her down on a bed to recover.

After I came to an agreement with Diyoza and her men they led me to the cell that Clarke had been taken to.

Once I got there, I noticed she needed help to sit up, so I helped her, and sat beside her.

"You're really here." She whispered in disbelief as she hugged me tightly. I held her back and let all the pain of losing her wash away in that moment.

Breaking apart to see each other's faces she asked, "Madi?"

She is safe. She is in the woods with the others. Diyoza won' t look for them as long as we're in control."

"You mean you all survived, Monty, Murphy, Raven?"

"Echo and Emori, yeah. Clarke, you saved us all." I saw her lips twist to a smile.

"And now you're home." I nodded and held her again.

"How have you been?" I asked Clarke as tears flooded my eyes. After what felt like a lifetime, I had my little blonde spitfire within grasp.

She raised her head and stared brokenly into my eyes as tears fell down her face.

"I am much better now that you're here," she said with a smirk. I smiled at that, trust Clarke to joke when she is suffering.

"I am so sorry Clarke."

"What for? You just saved me." She replied smiling as she attempted to sit up. I went to help her and made sure that I told her everything I needed to tell her now.

"I am sorry for leaving you behind. I've dealt with believing you dead for the last six years and I have not been able to fully move forward when I feel this heavy burden for betraying you..." My ramble was interrupted by a passionate kiss from the girl before me.

As much as I loved her, I was in a committed relationship with Echo for the last three years and I couldn't do that to either of them. So, I pulled back and stared with a guilty stare into her eyes.

"What is it?" she asked her smile dissipating from her face.

"I am sorry Clarke; I can't do this again," I said turning my back to her and walking away.

"Do what?" She asked hesitantly. I stood still and in silence pondering my next move.

"When I thought you had died, I believed that you would have wanted for all of us, who you saved to move forward and so I tried really hard, but I lived with the guilt of leaving you behind and Echo became my shelter from myself…" I sighed, this conversation was so awkward and painful, "she and I are dating, we have been for the last three years, and while I still love you, I also care for her and I cannot, will not do what Finn did to you and Raven. I think that we should stay best friends as we were before. Okay?" I asked looking into her face that had shifted from hesitance to pain, which she had quickly hidden.

"If that's what you think is best, then I guess you're right Bellamy. I am sorry for being so forward." She turned her back to me and I knew she was trying to hide the tears.

"Clarke…"

"It's alright, I think I just need a moment to let my brain catch up with everything that has happened today." She finally stood up and walked to the door of the room.

I wanted to ask her who Aurora's dad was but felt that it'd be intrusive of me, especially after I had just broken her heart. I also wanted to know why she had named her Aurora.

That had been my mother's name. Had Clarke done it to honor me in some way…

I guess I'll talk to her about it when things calm down.

Clarke's POV

Bellamy Blake

The man I had hated, trusted, loved, mourned, and now I felt that love cry as his news impacted me.

He had moved on, of course, I would have wanted him to. He deserved to be happy. But what about Aurora, what was I supposed to do about her.

She was as much his daughter as she was mine and he had a right to know but knowing Bellamy he'd want to take responsibility of her the moment he found out. He would not hesitate to leave Echo if he thought his daughter needed him to raise alongside her mother.

No, I couldn't tell him. At least not yet. Not until things had settled down and he and I could come up with a way to raise her together despite us not being together.

Oh God, why was my life always so complicated.

"Clarke!" I heard Bellamy call my name as he entered the church where I was sitting near Shaw and Diyoza. "I have Raven on the line and want to surprise her with you." He held up a radio comm.

"Raven," he said into the comm as we both sat next to each other.

"Yes?" I heard Raven's voice and tears welled in my eyes. Yes, Bellamy had told me she was alive, but hearing her voice was a feeling all on its own.

"I have someone who really wants to talk to you." He then handed me the radio comm and smiled.

"Hey Raven, Murphy," I said with a smile.

"Clarke?" She whispered, "Clarke is that you?"

"Yes, it's me," I confirmed.

"Jeez, and they call me cockroach." I heard Murphy say on the other end leading to Bellamy and I laughing.

"I don't believe it," Raven whispered.

"Hey, you guys just be careful up there ok? We'll talk more once this is all over. I want to hear everything." I said smiling.

"Ok, but first. Thank you for saving our lives," Raven said.

"I miss you both," I whispered. Bellamy then signaled that it was time for us to go, and I nodded and said my final goodbyes to my friends.

It was great to have my friends back. After a quick chat with both Murphy and Raven we decided it best to rest and prepare for departure the following day seeing as how we were leaving for Polis on the dropship so that we could open the gate to the underground bunker.

The trip to Polis was faster than I expected and with their equipment the bunker was finally opened with barely any effort needed. Bellamy and I decided to drop first, just in case our people assumed that this was a hostile rescue.

Bellamy's POV

I don't know why but the entire trip to Polis was filled with an awkward silence between Clarke and I and that scared me, so I tried to make conversation.

"So all this time, Madi and Aurora have been with you hugh?" I asked. I noticed Clarke tense and nod. "You really didn't give me too many motherly vibes when we first arrived here you know," I said trying to lighten the mood.

"I always wanted to be a mother…" she stopped and considered her words, "I suspected I was pregnant when I didn't get my period that month before Praimfaya, but I blamed it on the stress of the situation. Then after I recovered in Becca's lab, I was always throwing up the daily rations and I finally confirmed my suspicions via a blood test in the lab. Then I found Madi and vowed to love and protect her as much as I would the child I was carrying."

She went quiet again, and I sighed. "Clarke, listen I don't want to hurt you anymore, so please forgive me for all the pain I have caused you since I landed back here."

"You are not at fault Bellamy. I understand fully that you've moved on. That's ok, it's part of those years that we were, unfortunately, unable to be in each other lives. As for our agreement to talk about our relationship after Praimfaya, I think we have spoken enough about it. Now forgive me for being hurt. It's not your fault ok."

Clarke reached for her seatbelt and I could see her clench her hand around it so tightly that her knuckles were completely white.

"We're here," Diyoza announced over the dropships comm.

There was no way in hell I would have ever imagined the bunker the way we found it when we opened it. I was not prepared then for what we were about to face, heck I still don't really understand how it is we were able to surpass it.

A/N

So far, this is the shortest chapter and for that I am sorry, but I feel mentally drained right now and am seriously debating whether to include Octavia's darkness this season or what?. Anyways thank you guys for being here so far and I hope you're all enjoying. Hopefully, I'll be able to have both chapters 5 and 6 by tomorrow night.

Good night and remember I don't own the 100.

Stay safe
