A/N - Massive thank you to everyone jumping on board to support this fic. Also major thanks to the people who let me know about what happened when I was copying over the file last chapter. That happened because my phone doesn't like cooperating but I'm not willing to leave you guys without an update for a week whilst I'm away haha. Pls review and let me know what you think and other than that just enjoy! x

When they arrived back at the camp they found their tent already pitched and waiting for them. Clarke expected some kind of reaction to the two of them sharing a single tent but was pleasantly surprised when a respectful nod was all they recieved as they walked past.

They slipped through the tent flap quickly, glad to be alone again. Lexa strode over to the bed and lowered herself down gently, resting her hands under her head and giving Clarke an expectant look.

Clarke just smiled, walking over and taking a seat beside her on the bed. "You know," She started, tugging at the bandages to loosen them, "If you didn't push yourself so hard I wouldn't have to keep playing doctor."

"Maybe I like seeing you play doctor." Lexa smiled softly.

Her smile turned to a grin as she saw Clarke's reaction.

"I didn't mean it like that Clarke. You were born for greatness yes, but at heart you are a healer and you are never more beautiful than when you are helping others."

Clarke rested her hands on Lexa's stomach gently, looking down at them as a red tinge coloured her cheeks.

After quickly re-bandaging Lexa's hip she swung her legs onto the bed, curling against Lexa's side so that Lexa could wrap her arm around Clarke's shoulders as Clarke layed her head on her chest.

"Do you think they'll accept your terms?" Clarke whispered, after a long drawn out silence, which Lexa waited patiently through, for Clarke to tell her what was troubling her mind.

"I think that I've said my piece and the rest is up to the Skaikru."

Lexa sighed regretfully, frustrated that she couldn't just fix the world to ensure Clarke's happiness and wellbeing.

"Clarke I...There's no point in dwelling too much on this tonight, you'll just drive yourself insane. We cannot change what will happen now. Jist remember though, as long as your friends and your mother don't fight against me they will be safe. I give you my word Clarke, I will protect them."

Clarke perked up slightly, trailing circles around Lexa's stomach with her hand as she snuggled closer into her girlfriend's side, "I love you, you know?"

Lexa laughed and kissed the top of Clarke's head tenderly, "I had guessed as much. Sleep now ai hodness, I will protect you."

Clarke wanted to protest, that it was Lexa who should be getting the rest, but she felt so warm and safe that her eyes closed soon after without her permission.

The last thing her mind registered was Lexa quietly humming to her as she absent mindedly stroked Clarke's hair.

A/N - So there you go, sorry for any mistakes, I'm on my phone in my hotel room haha. Pls review!
