Two weeks had passed since Clarke's water broke, and Bellamy had returned to the drop ship in time to be present for Clarke's bringing a dark haired, baby girl into the world.

That night, almost everyone in the camp sat eagerly around the fire waiting to celebrate the arrival of Maya Taylor Blake.

Since then, things had settled down for the Blake Family. They quickly settled into a routine with the baby with Abby's help.

Clarke was still the only one who knew Octavia's secret. Octavia has been going over her plan to tell Lincoln. She was still nervous about telling him even when Clarke assured her he'd be over the moon.

The blonde sat at the table with her tilted her head back to look up at her husband who leaned down to kiss her on her forehead. He scooped the sleeping infant up in his arms.

"I'm gonna put her down for the night," he said. Clarke smiled.

"How was the hunt?"

"It was good. They're cleaning the meat now. How was the so called secret meeting?"

Clarke rolled her eyes.

"It was good; although, it was just me, Lexa, Indra, Mom and Kane."

Bellamy disappeared into their bedroom to lay the infant down. He returned shortly after and found his seat in the corner of the old, worn Mount Weather couch. He lifted his arm to rest on the back of the couch.

"Have you figured out anything about this chip situation?"

"It's not good at all. Indra said people in the Trikru villages are taking them."

Clarke sat down beside him and leaned into his chest. She pulled her feet up and onto the couch.

"What about Polis and Arkadia?"

"Lexa hasn't heard anything from her Polis ambassador, but she said Ambassador Rafael mentioned people in Trishanakru have started taking them. He said they're killing the ones who won't take them."

"What?" He asked. The shock and horror in his voice was more than obvious.

"There's more. Mom said something about Wells to Jaha, and he couldn't even remember his own son. Then Mom overheard Jaha talking about this woman named Alie to Raven who has apparently taken the chip now. She's walking fine like Murphy never shot her, but Jasper said she couldn't remember who Finn was."

Clarke put her head back further into Bellamy's chest and looked at him with concern.

"I'm scared, Bell. What are we going to do about the baby and our people?"

"We'll figure it out. We always do," he moved his arm from behind her and wrapped it tightly around her, pulling her closer into him and placing a kiss on her head.

"But that's when we had Raven on our side. How are we supposed to save everyone when we don't even know what and who we're up against?"

"We'll find out what we can about this Alie and use it to our advantage and only keep a few people in the loop. If it comes down to another war, we'll fight, and we'll win."

"You make it sound so simple."

"Maybe it is. All we had to do to take down the mountain was pull the lever."

"Bellamy, that was far from simple. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do!"

"I know that. I was there; I did it too. I'm saying that a battle is long, hard and tiring, but putting an end to one can be simple sometimes. Who's to say putting an end to the chip, Alie, or whoever it is, isn't as simple as pulling a lever from one end to the other.

"Because a lever is always the end to everything," Clarke said sarcastically.

"It's a metaphor, Princess."

"And that was sarcasm, Bell."

He poked a finger into her side causing her to wriggle.

"Please don't tickle me," she pleaded with a half smile, but he did it once more, causing her to squeal, "Hey! I just had your baby!"

"Yeah, the baby that you're going to wake up if you get too loud."

She playfully rolled her eyes in frustration.

"Well then don't tickle me."

"Fine," he said giving up with a yawn, "I'm to tired to tickle you anyway."

"Whatever," she said standing up with him. She turned to face him, and he pulled her in for a kiss.

"No matter what happens, I'll be by your side. You are one of the bravest and strongest people I know, and I believe in you. If you say fight, we'll fight, and through the good, the bad, the ugly, I promise I'll be there every step of the way."

"Have I ever told you just how much I love you?" She said rising on her toes and interlocking their fingers until their lips met. "C'mon, let's go to bed."

Clarke's eyes opened to the dark room. She shivered at the cold air on her face and wiggled from under her husband's warm grasp. Striking the match against the box in the dark, the blonde lit the candle.

Surely, the child need an extra blanket tucked around her swaddle to stay warm. She reached the candle stick over Bellamy's body to check on the sleeping infant in the bassinet next to her father's side of the bed.

The blood in her veins instantly ran cold, her breath disappearing from her lungs. She desperately beat on the sleeping man hoping she'd find the words to call out to wake him.

"Bellamy," she breathed. He stirred slightly in his sleep before calling his name louder.

He slowly opened his eyes and focused them on his wife's pale face, realizing the worry in her eyes.

"Clarke, what is it?"

"She's gone."

"Who's gone?"

"Maya."

In disbelief, Bellamy immediately sat up looking over to his left at the empty cradle.

"What happened?"

"I-I don't know. I woke up cold, and I went to put an extra blanket on her. But when I looked, she- she was gone."

He could see she was doing everything to keep herself together.

"Calm down for a second. Octavia could have come in and gotten her or even your mom."

"Why would my mom come get her this late at night and without telling us?"

"I could heard you two talking. What's going on? "

The two heads turned to the younger Blake sibling in the doorway.

"Do you have Maya?"

Clarke couldn't hear past Octavia's no. As soon as it left her lips, she felt the pounding of her blood in her ears. Her chest tightened as she quickly forgot how to breathe.

"Don't you two have her?" Octavia asked.

"No, Clarke woke up and couldn't find her."

Clarke's hand fell to Bellamy's leg. He moved his body forward, raising his right arm to her back. The voice in her throat grew louder the longer she hyperventilated.

"Breathe, Clarke," Bellamy said. She shook her head, and he took her shaking hand in his left hand, "I need you to breathe, okay. Can you do that?"

"I'm gonna wake Lincoln, and we're gonna go get Abby and Marcus," Octavia said looking at her older brother who only looked up and nodded.

As Clarke's breathing slowly returned to a somewhat normal rate, the tears in her eyes quickly rolled down her cheeks. He moved his body closer to her and wrapped his arms tightly around her. He only left her side when his sister called out to him from the door to their shared home.

Clarke followed her husband out to the door where Lincoln and Octavia were standing over the two body's lying in the ground outside of their home.

"They are still breathing but barely," Lincoln said kneeling over Poquos and Arion, "We need to get them into MedBay."

"Oh god," Clarke whispered drawing in a sharp and shaking breath.

Bellamy stepped closer to her, and she turned around to face him. Full of tears, her eyes quickly found his.

"Bell," she whimpered into his chest. Her forehead pressed against the lump in his throat as he held her tightly against him.

It took everything in him not to fall apart.

He had to be strong for her so she could be weak. He held back his tears so hers could fall. He held himself together so she could fall apart.

He struggled to wrap his mind around how this happened. How was someone able to sneak in and out of camp? Into their home?

His sister; his responsibility. His family; his responsibility.

He should have been able to do something. He should have been able to protect his family.

Their baby was gone, and their world was shattered, all in the still of the night.
