It had been nice spending the day with Octavia, they had spent most their time just wandering through the city, occasionally interrupted by people wanting to speak to the Commander as she passed by. But for the most part they were left alone.

It was whilst they were sitting just outside the main gates that they noticed movement, a group of people on horseback heading up the Commander's road.

"Is that-?" Octavia started, squinting to see, raising her hand to try and block the glare of the sun.

"Skaikru." Lexa sighed, "I wonder what they want this time."

Octavia shrugged, "Well Polis was attacked, maybe Abby heard and got worried, after all her daughter lives here. And if you're in trouble, she knows Clarke will throw herself into the fire after you."

"Yes, well, I wish she wouldn't do that." Lexa muttered, eyes still fixed on the approaching group.

There was roughly a dozen of them from what she could see, and they didn't look particularly hurried as they moved towards the city so she decided to just wait until they reached where she was sitting with Octavia.

"Are you not even going to stand up and pretend to be intimidating?" Octavia asked her, nudging Lexa's ribs with her elbow playfully.

"Pretend to be intimidating?" Lexa growled at her, swatting away the offending limb.

Octavia nodded sagely, "Yes, that thing you do to hide how adorable you actually are."

Lexa rolled her eyes, crossing her arms across her chest as she leant back against the tree they were sitting underneath, "You are really not going to enjoy what I do to you once your child is born Octavia. Count the days, your immunity is running out."

Grinning, Octavia leaned her head against Lexa's shoulders, "And if I actually believed that then I might be in trouble, but as I've said before, you love me too much to actually hurt me."

Wrapping her fingers around the arm that had snaked around her waist, Lexa dug her nails in sharply, drawing blood along the smooth skin of Octavia's forearm as the other girl yelped and wrenched her arm back.

"That was uncalled for." She sulked as Lexa gave a grin of her own, standing as the Skaikru group finally broke through the last shadows of the trees and she saw Abby and Kane leading them.

She nodded to the two of them as they pulled their horses to a halt and slid down from the saddles, greeting Lexa respectfully.

"Commander." Kane nodded, glancing round at the open space they were in, which still bore the signs of the battle that had taken place. "We heard about what happened. I know we are a few days late but we were hoping to offer any assistance, if any of your people need it we have healers with us and Skaikru medicine to help any that are needing more than your people know how to provide."

Lexa smiled at the two of them gratefully, before eyeing Abby as a small smirk pulled at the corners of her lips, "Mochof, both of you, there are indeed people who may benefit greatly from the help you can offer. But you don't need to lie, Abby, I know you want information on Clarke's safety."

Cheeks burning red, Abby forced herself to break her nervous stare towards the city and focus on Lexa, "Of course I do, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to help your people as well."

"Our people." Lexa correctly, nodding to them to follow her and starting towards the gates.

"Octavia how are you feeling?" Abby asked the other girl warmly as they walked, unsurprised by her presence at Lexa's side, the two of them had obviously grown incredibly close when Lexa brought Octavia to Arkadia for her pregnancy test.

Breathing out dramatically, Octavia placed herself between Abby and Lexa, holding out her arm to the Doctor for inspection, "I would be just fine if certain people would keep their claws away from me."

Abby couldn't help the judgemental flicker across her expression and Lexa caught it before she could rein it back.

To her amusement, the Commander just gave a sigh of her own, "You get to return to Arkadia, I have to live with her. Trust me, she causes enough trouble to warrant it."

Once they were inside the gates, news spread quickly that Skaikru were visiting and before they had even gotten halfway through the streets, Clarke had appeared, wrapping her mother in a warm hug before stepping back and checking her over to make sure she was ok.

Abby was doing the exact same, their mannerisms so perfectly mirrored that Lexa couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Clarke asked, once she was satisfied that everyone was all right.

"I came to see if you were ok Clarke." Abby told her, "You fought another war and didn't tell me."

Clarke just laughed, waving her concerns off easily, "Mom, if I told you every time I fought a war you'd constantly be back and forth between Arkadia and Polis."

"It's not that often, she exaggerates." Lexa countered smoothly, not in the mood for a lecture from Abby kom Skaikru about keeping her daughter safe, because even if she was inclined to listen, getting Clarke to heed it would be a pointless endeavour. "And they also came to offer medical help." Lexa told her wife, with a pointed look to a building up the street.

Clarke smiled, lacing her fingers together with Lexa's and pulling them in that direction, "Come on mom, I want to show you something."

Her attempts to ask where she was being taken were ignored but then suddenly they were inside a building that seemed far bigger on the inside.

It took a few moments to figure out why the set up looked so familiar, but once it did Abby gasped, "You started a hospital in Polis?"

Nodding, Clarke looped her arm around Lexa's, "We did, it was Lexa's idea but I run it, she likes inflicting injuries, not treating them."

"And with me out of training, she's less involved than ever." Octavia joked, earning a disapproving look from Lexa.

"This is wonderful." Abby told her daughter, pulling her into another hug, "I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks mom," Clarke smiled, already heading down the nearest corridor, pulling Abby along with her, excitedly explaining as she went.

Lexa tapped Kane on the shoulder before he could follow and nodded towards the door, "They're in their element, and likely won't notice we're gone until they get hungry. Let's return to the tower and you can tell me how things are in Arkadia. And for the rest of your people?" She nodded to the group surrounding them, "Skaikru now had their own building within the walls of the city, it has enough rooms to house up to fifty of you at any given time, Octavia can guide you."

Octavia nodded eagerly, having played a hand in decorating and making it feel as much a home for her old clan as possible, waving at the others to follow her as Kane smiled at Lexa.

"I would be honoured to sit and speak with you."
