AN: Hey. I know that Finn isn't exactly the best character here, but that's how he is. I thought I may give you what you want. I will try my best to make Finn the loving gentleman he is. Enjoy!
Once again, the blonde got butterflies in her stomach. How did we end up here? She thought. From meeting a 'bitchy business lady' at Lincoln and Octavia's engagement party, to sit next to the love of her life. Yes, Clarke already knew… this woman next to her was the love of her life.
Clarke placed her hand on Lexa's hand on leaned on her shoulder. She felt Lexa's head barely touched hers. The brunette kissed the top of the blonde's head and squeezed her hand gently. Lexa exhaled.
Lexa had to pause this moment. Having Clarke beside her and a cute little girl sleeping on her lap, was an incredible feeling, yet a little weird. This felt a little strange, because it was new. Lexa beamed even more as Clarke gently ran her other hand through Isabella's thin soft hair.
"are she sleeping?" Clarke whispered. Lexa threw a quick glance at Isabella. She was sleeping. Lexa thought it would be best to carry her to her bedroom, and so she did. Clarke watched Lexa as she carried her niece to her bedroom.
Lexa put her down carefully. She tucked her in her bed and smiled at her. "Wish I could sleep as peaceful as you" she caressed Isabella's tiny cheeks with her finger and left the room. The baby monitor was on, so they could hear her if she woke up.
Lexa sat beside Clarke. The blonde laid a blanket over both of them. The blonde grabbed Lexa's hand and leaned on her shoulder. They watched the rest of the movie. Some time had passed and they didn't say one word throughout the whole movie. Just cuddled.
Lexa liked it when two people didn't have to talk with each other to avoid awkwardness. With Clarke, things were never awkward. The silence between them meant that they were comfortable with each other. And that felt incredible.
"Are you tired too?" Lexa asked the blonde as she was half asleep on Lexa's shoulder. "mhm…" the blonde sighed. "It's been a long day"
"Maybe you should sleep at my place tonight. I don't want you to drive all the way home. It's like 25 minutes away" Lexa suggested. She hoped Clarke wouldn't think she wanted to her to stay over at her place just because Finn were living with Clarke.
"If it's okay for you?"
Lexa nodded. "Of course, it is. I would love to have you over at my place" she played with Clarke's hair. Clarke sat straight up in the couch and reached for her phone. She scrolled through her contacts and called Finn.
"Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to stay at Lexa's place tonight. So, you have the whole apartment for yourself" Clarke informed Finn. Clarke went silence for a few long seconds. "That's great!" she said.
Apparently, Finn got a job. But what Clarke didn't ask about is as what. It was just a temporary job, till he found a real job. He was hired at Niylah's café, and didn't mind telling Clarke because it was really not a big deal.
"Okay bye. Don't tear the penthouse down" Clarke laughed and hang up after Finn said goodbye. Lexa put her arm around Clarke. Right before she was going to put her phone back on the table, her phone buzzed. She got a message from Finn.
Finn: PARTY!
Clarke laughed. She felt Lexa chuckle too. Lexa saw the text too. Clarke typed back.
Clarke: No party! And no girls!
Finn: I'm just kidding. No party, I promise.
Clarke let out a short chuckle. Down on the screen, it appeared three dots. He was writing something, but then they disappeared. And after a few seconds, it appeared again.
Finn: and no girls. I promise. There's only one special girl, but she couldn't make it here tonight.
Clarke re-read the text. It was obvious who he meant. She turned off her phone so Lexa wouldn't see it. But it was too late. Lexa removed her arm from Clarke and coughed. "I have to go to the bathroom-" she got up but Clarke just pulled her hand.
"Lexa wait. Hey, you know there is completely nothing going on between Finn and me. And I don't have any romantic feelings for him" Clarke tried to get some sense in Lexa.
"But he has obviously feelings for you" Lexa said back. She didn't want to argue, but she didn't want to be the one to get hurt either. "You're living together now Clarke… what if he tries to kiss you… I can't help getting jealous when I know he might see you in your bra, or you are seeing him shirtless… or if you get sick, and he will be the one taking care of you…" Lexa looked at Clarke with puppy eyes.
"Lexa, babe" Clarke stood up and grab Lexa's other hand. She squeezed both hands. "He's not replacing you. No one can. And there's really no reason to be jealous" she kissed Lexa's cheek.
"And he can move in with Bellamy. I think it's okay for Bellamy, and Finn offered it himself" Clarke said. "I'll fix this okay?" she hugged Lexa. "Nothing to worry about" Lexa hugged Clarke back.
"Hey you guys" Emma beamed as she saw the two of them hugging in the living room. "Hey" Clarke and Lexa said. They still held hands.
"How was it?"
Cage smiled. "One of the best nights of my life" he hugged Emma from behind.
Clarke told them that Isabella had been such a nice girl and that it was fun taking care of her. She also told them that Lexa put her to bed and that she was sleeping peacefully. Emma hugged Clarke and Lexa and said goodnight to them.
Clarke were going to drive to Lexa's apartment, luckily it was only five to ten minutes away. "I'll see you in a few" Clarke said before she got in her car. Lexa nodded and blew a kiss to her.
As they pulled up in front of Lexa's building, Lexa reached out her hand for Clarke to hold. They linked their hands together and walked in the building together.
"Wow. This penthouse still takes my breath away"
Lexa closed the door. "Hm… It may be the flowers" she joked. Clarke rolled her eyes and let out a short chuckle. Lexa's penthouse was full of beautiful flowers and plants. "Do you want to eat, or watch a movie or do you just want to go to bed?" Lexa hugged Clarke from behind.
"I'm actually really tired. I think I'm going to go to bed" Clarke said. Lexa kissed Clarke's cheek. "I'll get you a toothbrush and find a pajama to you. Do you want pajamas pants and t-shirt, or just an oversized t-shirt?" Lexa asked.
"Oversized t-shirt"
Lexa smiled. "same"
As Lexa looked for a toothbrush and an oversized t shirt, Clarke sat down on the couch and waited. She noticed it was a guitar across the living room and picked it up. It was a Spanish guitar. She loved those! She wasn't a big fan of guitars with metals strings. She liked plastic better, it had a more likeable sound.
"Do you play?" Lexa asked as she came with the toothbrush.
"a little" Clarke simply said and tried to play some chords.
"Can you play something for me?" Lexa sat on the edge of the table and smiled at Clarke. "please?" she asked with an adorable voice. It was irresistible. But Clarke shook her head. The only thing Lexa could come up with was one thing. A sweet kiss. She leaned against Clarke and kissed her soft lips.
The blonde chuckled. "okay" She beamed at her girlfriend. "just because you're so damn cute"
Lexa chuckled and payed attention to the blonde. Clarke was so focused. She started gently hitting the strings, up and down. Making a catchy rhythm. The blonde looked at Lexa and smiled.
"I found a love" she started. Lexa's heart melted. Clarke had such a beautiful voice. A voice of an angel. The brunette couldn't stop smiling at Clarke. The blonde shook her head with a cute giggle. "for me" she continued.
"Darling just dive right in. And follow my lead. Well I found a girl" the blonde looked directly in the brunette's eyes. "beautiful and sweet. I never knew you were the someone waiting for me"
She kept gently hitting the strings. "Cause' we were just kids when we fell in love. Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this time. Darling you kiss me slow, your heart is all I own… and in your eyes, you're holding mine…" she beamed at Lexa. Her sparkling green eyes were as beautiful as always. Lexa was beautiful as always.
Lexa was shocked. She thought Clarke had the most amazing voice ever. And the blonde sang to her, that's what made it thousand more times special.
The blonde kept smiling and shook her head. It was like she was a little embarrassed. But she still continued. "Baby I'm… dancing in the dark, with you between my arms. Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song. When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath. But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight" Clarke hit the strings softly for the last time. She put the guitar next to herself.
Lexa smiled like an idiot. "Babe! That was amazing, I didn't know you could play the guitar and sing!" Lexa gaped. Clarke just giggled and blushed. Lexa opened her arms and embraced the blonde.
Both of them brushed their teeth. And they changed in Lexa's bedroom. Clarke had to be honest, she did take a glimpse at Lexa as she undressed herself. Lexa probably did the same.
The two of them gathered in the middle of the bed. Lying next to each other. Both laid on their side, facing each other. Lexa ran her fingers through Clarke hair, then caressed her arm. Lexa pecked Clarke's lips. It made Clarke chuckle. Lexa's gentle touch tickled the blonde's arm.
Clarke turned on the other side. Lexa just chuckled and moved closer, so they would lay in a spoon. Lexa laid her arm over Clarke's waist. She even laid her hand on top of Clarke's. As she couldn't sleep, she gently ran her finger down Clarke's back. It made the blonde giggle.
"Stop, it's tickling" the blonde said with her sleepy sexy voice. "Sorry" Lexa whispered with a chuckle. Instead she kissed Clarke's head. Then her neck. The blonde turned around and chuckled. "Stop it Lexa! It's tickles"
Lexa just smiled. Clarke was facing Lexa. The brunette finally closed her eyes. But Clarke didn't. she leaned in for a kiss. And the brunette kissed back. The kiss became intense, and Clarke laid herself on top of Lexa. They made out for a good while.
Clarke carefully sat on top of Lexa and leaned down to kiss her. Clarke's rose soft lips kissed Lexa's cheek then down her neck. Lexa's body bend a little, because yeah, it tickled as hell. She softly kissed Lexa's neck and sucked on it a few places. It was definitely leaving a mark.
She made her way up to Lexa's lips again. They continued making out, and after a few minutes, they slowed down. Clarke removed herself from Lexa and exhaled. Lexa laid on her back with her arm on her stomach. Clarke laid on her side and buried her face between Lexa's neck and shoulder.
Clarke grabbed Lexa's cheek and kissed her on the cheek. "Goodnight baby" The blonde whispered and rested her arm next to Lexa's arm that was on the brunette's stomach.
"Goodnight beautiful" Lexa whispered.
Abby stared on her phone. She wrote a message to Emma. Tried to decide whether she should send it or call her. But enough was enough, she had already written it. The least thing she could do was send it.
Abby: Hey Emma. I'm just wondering if you would like to come by my house and have a cup of coffee? Then we can catch up and get to know each other.
It didn't take long before Emma responded to the text.
Emma: Yeah, I would love it. When?
Abby: 12 am? Or is it too early?
Emma: No, it's perfect. 12 it is
Abby: Great, I will see you here tomorrow then
Emma: Yeah. Goodnight Abby
That's when Abby's heart stung a little. Emma called her "Abby". Her name… and not "mom". She understood well why Emma called her Abby, it just hurt a little.
Abby: Goodnight Emma
Abby was just on her way home. She had worked overtime at the hospital today. She was so tired, felt like could fall asleep anytime. It was dark outside. She started the car and turned on the radio to help her stay awake.
She thought it would be a good idea to go and buy some coffee at a café. Since Café Niy wasn't far away from the hospital, she headed there. She drove fast, the roads were empty so it wasn't a big deal.
Unfortunately, this car came out of nowhere and crashed in Abby's car. It all went to fast, she couldn't react before the other car was planted in hers. Abby's car got totally wrecked, and so did she. It was quiet but also so loud. The sound of car alarms was loud. She could even hear fire. Her ears started hurting because it made a squeaking sound.
Luckily there was someone who wasn't badly hurt and was able to call the ambulance. They carried Abby out of the car, but as they arrived, she was unconscious.
People who worked there informed the closest family members about what happened to Abby. They manage to reach Kane, and he drove to visit Abby right away. She was still unconscious, and they wouldn't let him see her, but he could wait.
They couldn't reach Clarke, so Kane tried to call her himself. But she never picked up. He figured she was sleeping. It was almost midnight after all.
As he tried to not fall asleep, he failed. He fell asleep on the couch with a magazine on top of him. He had been up for hours. The clock was almost 4 am and no one came to talk to him. It was like he was forgotten. At least that's what it felt like.
This lie couldn't go on any longer. Finn had to tell Raven. He didn't get any sleep tonight because he was up all night, thinking about what he was going to say to Raven. Better be honest now than never. He stood in front of Raven's door. Feeling like he wanted to scream so loud, because this was killing him. He lost her once, and couldn't handle to lose her again.
He finally manned up, and knocked on the door. He heard the Latino shout 'COMING' as he heard footsteps running to the door.
"Raven, I have to tell you something-" Finn said but Raven interrupted him. "Did you hear about what happened to Abby?" Raven asked. She hurried taking on her shoes and coat. Waiting for Finn's answer.
"No…? but I have to-" Finn tried but he got interrupted again.
"She was in a car crash! She's in the hospital now, and we can't reach Clarke" Raven stressed. She tried to find her car keys. "It's 8 am, she's probably sleeping. We have to go up and wake her" Raven walked out of the apartment and locked it.
"She's not home…" Finn said.
Raven frowned. "What do you mean she's not home? Where is she?" she asked. It was a little terrifying.
"She said she were sleeping at Lexa's" Finn said and followed Raven. She tried to call Clarke but just came to the answering machine. Then she tried to call Lexa.
"Lexa!" Raven said as the brunette picked up after second call. "Where's Clarke?" she asked right away.
"Hey Raven. Nice to hear your voice too. And I'm fine by the way, how are you?" Lexa asked. She found it a little weird that Raven didn't greet her.
"No time for joke Lexa! Clarke's mom is in the hospital and we've been trying to reach Clarke, but she won't answer the phone" Raven informed. The elevators opened and she hurried out of the little metal box room.
"What? Oh my god" Lexa said. "She's probably sleeping. I'll go and wake her up, and then we will meet you at the hospital." Lexa said as she got up.
"Thanks Lexa. See you in a bit"
The brunette opened the door and looked after Titus. "see you" she said and hung up. "TITUS!" she yelled for him. He came immediately. Lexa told him what was going on. He said he got in, and let Lexa go. Of course, he wasn't too pleased of letting her go. He wanted her to stay and work, because to him, that's what was most important.
Lexa stormed in her penthouse. "CLARKE?" she called after the blonde. She didn't get any response back. She hurried up the stairs and found her still sleeping in the bed.
She looked so beautiful, but this was not the time to admire the blonde. She knelt down and tried to gently shake her. "Clarke" she tried to wake her. "Clarke" she said once again.
The blonde grunt. "Shouldn't you be at work" she asked with her eyes closed.
"Yes, but this is more important" Lexa prepared the girl. The blonde opened her eyes. "what is?" she asked curious.
Lexa swallowed. "Your mom is in the hospital"
