A/N: Hey guys, just thought I should say that this is the second chapter today. Only reason I'm saying it is that I know that sometimes when a fic hasn't been updated in a while and then multiple chapters are released I can sometimes miss the earlier one and just read the later one. So, if you haven't read a chapter from me already today, or yesterday then you should go back one. Thanks guys.
"Abby no!" Octavia groaned as she walked down the hallway, getting faster and faster as the doctor trailed after her, "Clarke says everything seems perfectly normal and I already have Lincoln fussing over me endlessly."
"Octavia." Abby stopped her firmly, getting ahead of the pregnant warrior and placing her hand on her shoulder, "Clarke has never had a pregnant patient before, and you will be the first of our people to give birth on the ground, I just want to make sure you're ok."
Shaking off her hand, Octavia crossed her arms over her chest, "Our people? I am Trikru Abby, you know that. And besides Clarke, I have been seeing Trikru healers, all of whom assure me that I am doing just fine."
Sighing irritably at the stubborn girl in front of her, Abby shook her head, willing herself to stay patient, "I know, all I meant is that no one else that came from the Ark has gotten pregnant yet, your child is the first of a whole new generation. Please, if for nothing than my own peace of mind, let me check you over?"
Clenching her jaw in annoyance, Octavia considered it for a moment before rolling her eyes, "Fine, you can check me over once, but after that you don't ask again. Or I'll ask Lexa to have you kicked out of the city, and do you really want to test who's side she'll take."
"Ok." Abby agreed quickly, "Just the once, and then if you ever want my assistance again all you have to do it ask for it."
Octavia nodded once, "Ok then, follow me."
"Lincoln." Lexa called him, as she saw about to walk into his room. "Do you know where Octavia is? She was supposed to meet me an hour ago."
Shaking his head slowly, as concern suddenly rose in his stomach, Lincoln stepped closer to the Commander, "I haven't seen her since breakfast, I assumed she was already with you."
A stricken look crossed Lexa's face before she forced herself to take a step back from her emotions and breath, "Ok, well if she left this floor then she took the elevator, so we ask the guard."
Lincoln nodded in agreement, heading straight for the elevator, Lexa falling into step beside him as they walked down the corridor.
Turning the corner, they caught sight of the elevator guard, who was at his post, calm and collected.
As they reached him, he bowed to his Commander, "Heda." He greeted respectfully.
"Octavia kom Trikru." Lexa said quickly, "Has she passed you today?"
Nodding quickly, the guard gestured to the elevator doors behind him, "She left with Abby kom Skaikru less than two hours ago."
"Did they say where they were going?" Lincoln asked, some of the tension easing off, if she was with Abby he could already hazard a pretty good guess as to where they were.
The guard shook his head hesitantly, "They didn't say where they were headed, but they were talking about an examination, I don't know what of."
Sighing with relief, Lexa nodded, "We'll be going down now." She told him, stepping into the elevator as he slid the doors open.
Once they were closed behind them, she exchanged an amused look with Lincoln and laughed, "I told her Abby would coerce her into allowing her to check the pregnancy was progressing properly."
Lincoln grinned in response, "Octavia swore that she wouldn't give in to her."
"Abby's as stubborn as her daughter." Came Lexa's light response.
As Lexa and Lincoln stepped into the hospital, the healer sat in the entryway pointed to the stairs wordlessly, already knowing what they would be there for.
Nodding in thanks, they took the stairs two at a time, heading straight down a long corridor before stopping in the doorway to a room.
Octavia waved at them from the bed, where she was sat cross legged as Abby walked around her, rattling off information that Octavia wasn't even pretending to listen to anymore.
Lexa coughed deliberately to attract the attention of the doctor, stepping into the room along with Lincoln.
"I told you they'd come find me." Octavia told Abby, "Didn't expect it to take them this long though."
"I assumed you were having sex with Lincoln."
"I assumed you were tormenting Lexa."
Her boyfriend and best friend immediately defended themselves, each pointing at the other.
"Well, I'll take what I can get." She laughed, hopping off the bed, "I take it you're here to rescue me."
Abby scowled at her, "You are the most difficult patient I've ever had."
Octavia shrugged her shoulder shamelessly, "It could be worse, I paid attention to the important parts."
"It was all important!" Abby cried out in frustration.
"That's a matter of opinion, once we got to things that are more common sense than pregnancy advice I switched off." Octavia told her, before slipping her arms into her coat that Lincoln was holding up for her, having picked it up from the desk near to the door, "Now if you don't mind, I have arrangements for today that don't include hearing about the horrors of childbirth that I'm going to be put through in a few months. I'm sure when I get there I'll just listen to my healer and everything will be fine. I'm very good at following instructions."
Lincoln and Lexa both shook their heads in denial at that, seemingly unconsciously, which almost caused Abby's lip to quirk upwards in a small smile. "Fine, go on then, at the very least you're healthy right now."
"Thanks Abby." Octavia said before she left, giving Abby a genuine smile and then slipping from the room.
Lexa and Lincoln just exchanged a sympathetic look with the doctor before following her out.
