Day Four

Maya's father was about to take out the fog and go into hiding soon. Until then, Bellamy was going on his own mission to find Clarke. Dante Wallace had to know something, but no one had seen or heard from him in days. Maya was unsure of Dante's whereabouts as much as anyone else. She had suggested their prison or his office, but he wasn't there.

Bellamy stepped off of the elevator with Maya and to the doors of their quarantined facility. It was her last place she could think of to look.

"They're all out to lunch," Maya said looking up to him. She swiped her key card, and they pushed through the double doors. "We don't have a lot of time. Run and look through each window quickly."

"Got it," Bellamy said. He picked up his pace and began to poke his head in the window of each door. Each room was white, and the majority of them was empty. He looked over at Maya, and she shook her head. No sign of Dante, he told himself.

He continued to run to each window and stopped when he came to one. A blonde, more specifically Clarke, sat on the edge of the bed with her back facing the door.

Maya noticed Bellamy staring and walked over to him.

"Did you find him?"

Bellamy shook his head.

"It's her. I found her," Bellamy said. Maya pulled the chart from the box.

"Clarke?"

"Yeah," Bellamy said, "We need to get her out of here."

"Bellamy, we can't," Maya responded. He stared at her.

"Why not?" He found her. She was alive. He needed to see her.

"She's got an appointment in half an hour with Dr. Tsing." Maya gestured to the clipboard, and Bellamy snatched it from her. "We need to go, now."

He scanned over her chart quickly.

"She's pregnant," he said.

"That's what it says," Maya said, "Eleven weeks." She watched his face. "You didn't know. Did you?"

"No, no, I did. I found out after she went missing, but just seeing it in writing like this makes it more real," he paused before pleading, "I need to get in there."

Maya couldn't help that she was a hopeless romantic and sympathized with him.

"Fine, but you get one minute then we absolutely have to leave. There's a staff meeting after her appointment. We'll come back and get her then."

"Okay."

"Here," Maya said. She handed him a lunch tray from the nearby cart, "Take this. Keep your head down. Turn the record player up. Don't let them see your face. Don't let them hear you. As much as you want to, you can't touch her." Maya swiped the key, and Bellamy walked in.

He set the tray down on the table making sure to keep his face hidden. He turned the music up walked up behind her.

"Act normal," he said. Clarke knew that voice from anywhere. It was Bellamy. He found her. She wanted to cry and cling to him, but she couldn't.

"What are you doing?" She asked startled, surprised yet fearful. "I have a doctor's appointment soon."

"I know. I saw your chart." He handed her the tray. "How are you feeling? How's the baby? Lincoln and Octavia told me after you all went missing."

"I'm fine. We're fine. Are you mad?" She asked looking down. She sat the tray on the bed beside her.

"Of course I'm not mad, Princess," Bellamy said, "I'm the opposite."

He left a soft smile barely creep across the corner of his lip. She was pregnant with his child. She smiled too.

"I haven't heard that name in so long," she said, "How long have I been here? Is everyone else okay?"

"Two months," Bellamy said. He watched her face fall when he mentioned how long they had been missing. "but Finn is safe and with the grounders, and Harper has gone missing though. The dorm is on lockdown."

"Oh, God, Bellamy!" Clarke called out in horror as she quickly recalled the day she was captured, "They're using us for our bone marrow!"

"Did they hurt you?"

"No. They stopped when I told them I was pregnant." Relief washed over Bellamy's face. "Why is Finn with the grounders."

"There's a lot to get you caught up on, Princess. They're helping us, and we're helping them. The commander has agreed to let us into their coalition if we can succeed," Bellamy heard a soft knock on the door. He had to go. "We're coming back for you during their staff meeting. I have to go." He stared at her wishing he could do more than speak that he could hold her, kiss her, bring her with him. "I love you."

"I love you too, Bell. Be safe."

"I'll try."

He walked out of the door and stepped into the hallway. Maya looked at her watch and picked up their pace.

"I need to radio Raven," he said desperately.

"Okay," she said. They made their way to the storage room. Bellamy's mind was racing. Clarke was safe and alive and was apparently pregnant with his child. He was going to be a father. He wanted to be happy. He wanted to be excited, but he wasn't. Bellamy was worried. He was concerned. It wasn't just Clarke anymore. It was their unborn child too that he had to get out of the mountain. He reached his hand into the wall as Maya removed the frame. He turned the radio on and held his thumb on the button.

"Raven, come in. Raven, are you there?"

"I'm here," she answered. He sighed relieved.

"Is Octavia there?"

"Yeah, she's right here. I'm putting her on."

"What's up, Big Brother?" Octavia voice crackled to life over the radio.

"There's been a change in plans," Bellamy said.

"What happened?"

"I need you to meet me in the tunnels in about an hour and a half."

"Why? Is everything okay? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. It's just. I found her, O. I found, Clarke," Bellamy said. Octavia and Raven could hear the emotion in his voice over the radio.

"Is she safe? Is she okay?" Octavia asked. Bellamy's voice worried her.

"Yeah, I need to get her out of here and to you. Look, she's," Bellamy paused, "O, she really is pregnant."

"Of course she is, you big idiot," Octavia said letting out a small laugh. "Did you think Lincoln and I would lie about something like that?"

"No, it's just all hitting me now. I'm going to be a dad."

"You are, and while I'm excited about you and Clarke becoming parents, Big Brother, I'm way more excited about being an aunt!"

Bellamy laughed. He could hear Octavia stating to Raven that she would be the only actual aunt related by blood.

"That makes you the first of our people in a century too," he said smiling when he heard Octavia squealing over the radio. It was the first time he had truly smiled in a while. He was going to be a father.

"I guess that means congratulations are in order," Raven said stealing the radio from Octavia.

"Thanks, Reyes," Bellamy said with a smile still across his face, "Listen, Maya's dad is taking out the fog in half an hour. While he's doing that, she and I are going to get Clarke who should be done with her doctor's appointment by then. According to Maya, the staff should be in a meeting, and when they are, we'll sneak Clarke to the tunnels. By then, the fog should be down. I'll go back in and set the grounders free. Tell the commander to be ready to attack."

"Copy that," Raven said.

"And Bell?" Octavia interjected.

"Yeah, O?"

"It's not just me who needs you anymore, be careful."

"I will," he said. Bellamy forced a smile before turning the radio off. He was going to get the rest of his family.
