I love both Bellamy, Clarke, Octavia and Madi, and I really see them as a family, so I just decided to start a collection of drabbles that involve them in various family situations in an alternate AU universe. Just to clarify this story Bellamy is 32 years old, Clarke is 30 years old, Octavia is 16 years old and Madi is 13 years old. Bellamy and Clarke are married. Madi is their biological daughter and Octavia lives with her older brother, because her mother Aurora works hard and hardly stays at home, so Octavia had to stay with her brother. With this, Bellamy, Clarke, Octavia and Madi live together.
I would also like to remind you that I am Brazilian, but since most of the stories on this site are in English, I will try to write all the drabbles in English. So if I have any grammatical errors, just apologize me.
So if anyone likes this first drabble (which was kindly suggested by BellarkeFan03 in my other story), please comment and if you like, suggest another drabble. I will try to write all that you suggest as long as it is in this alternative universe and that involves the four main characters that I quoted. Thank you for your attention! :D
Bellamy and Clarke had been planning to camp with the family for some time, but it was difficult to reconcile with their jobs and the girls' school. Bellamy was a history professor at a college and Clarke was a physician. But on this specific holiday, Bellamy and Clarke were able to adjust their schedules and take the girls on this tour. At the moment, Bellamy was unloading the car, while Octavia, Clarke, and Madi were finishing setting up the tents.
"Hey Bell, can I go for a walk around the camp?" - Octavia asked, as soon as she and Madi had finished setting up their tent.
"Yes, but take Madi with you." - Bellamy replied, looking at her younger sister. They had never come to this camp, so he didn't want to let Octavia out there alone.
"I don't know why you're always so worried.'' - Octavia complained and Bellamy just laughed.
"You're my little sister, I'll always worry.'' - Bellamy countered, still laughing, which made Octavia snort.
"Whatever..." - Octavia rolled her eyes and looked at Madi. - "Come on, brat.'' - Octavia said, pointing at Madi.
"Hey, don't call me that.'' - Madi complained, but Octavia just laughed and kept walking, which made Madi snort, but still follow her.
"These girls..." - Clarke said as the girls walked away. - "They live implicating themselves, but we know they have a lot of love there." - She completed, which made Bellamy smile.
''It is true.'' - Bellamy nodded, closing the car as he finished unloading it. - "I think it was a good idea for Octavia to move in with us, after all.'' - He remarked, moving toward Clarke. It had been almost two years since Octavia began to live with Bellamy, Clarke, and Madi. This happened because Aurora was promoted to her job and with that she wasn't spending so much time at home, leaving Octavia alone at home for several nights.
"Indeed it was.'' - Clarke smiled, looking at Bellamy - ''In addition, Octavia is only 16 years old, it isn't good to be alone.'' - The blonde finished, and Bellamy looked at her.
''It sure isn't good at all.'' - Bellamy agreed, emphasizing the sure, which made Clarke laugh. The last time Aurora left Octavia alone before she moved in with her big brother, the teenager just had a party and the party was so out of control that it resulted in several broken home movers. Even Madi, who was only eleven at the time, had gone to the party. After that, Aurora and Bellamy concluded that Octavia couldn't be alone. Then Bellamy and Clarke suggested that Octavia move in with them and Madi. Aurora, of course, accepted. - "You look so beautiful when you laugh." - The man commented and Clarke immediately blushed, which made Bellamy pull her by the hand, before kissing her. Bellamy and Clarke, despite being together for more than 14 years, have never missed those little moments. Sometimes they seemed as passionate as any other teenage couple.
"Bellamy, the girls can come back any minute..." - Clarke warned, between the kiss.
"They won't come back." - Bellamy smiled, looking at her - "Octavia probably went looking for the cellphone signal and Madi is with her." - He continued, biting his own lip - ''Believe me, they will be delayed.'' - Bellamy finished, pulling Clarke back by the waist and kissing her. Clarke allowed himself to enjoy the kiss, but when Bellamy was walking during the kiss, kind of trying to pull her into the tent, she stopped.
"Bellamy..." - Clarke interrupted the kiss, a little breathless - "You'd better not risk it." - She continued, giving Bellamy a quick kiss, before stepping away from him. Clarke knew that if she stayed close to him, things would probably warm up again and she couldn't risk it with the girls there. Bellamy just snorted and watched her walk away. He knew he should control himself with his younger sister and daughter close to him, but it was simply hard to resist. It was Clarke. She was always going to drive him crazy.
Meanwhile, Octavia was really trying to find a cellphone signal to talk to Atom, one of the boys she stayed with. But that did not mean Madi had the patience for it.
"Damn it, O." - Madi grunted, looking at her - "You will not find a sign on this goddamn end of the world.'' - She continued, and Octavia turned to look at her.
"Does my brother and your mother know you speak this things?" - Octavia teased, causing Madi to roll her eyes.
''Shut up.'' - Madi said and Octavia laughed - ''Seriously, do you really need to talk to this idiot of the Atom?'' - The girl asked, which made Octavia look her.
"Need, I don't have to.'' - Octavia replied, thinking for a moment - ''But then he will complain that I didn't answer his messages and...'' - The teenager was going to complete that he did not want to hear Atom's complaints, but Madi interrupted her.
''He blows himself up.'' - Her niece simply spoke, which made Octavia look, before she laughed.
"You know..." - Octavia said, still laughing - "You're right!'' - She continued, pointing at Madi.
''Of course I am.'' - Madi looked at her, giving her an arrogant smile. - "Sometimes I even look like I'm the oldest.'' - She finished, convinced.
''Shut up, brat.'' - Octavia said, rolling her eyes and turning to head back to the central area of the camp.
"I told you not to call me a brat!" - The younger girl protested, but Octavia just ignored her and continued walking, with Madi stepping hard behind her.
When Madi and Octavia returned to camp it was almost dark. With that, Octavia volunteered to light the fire, while Clarke was arranging the food so they could bake later. Already Madi only approached her father who was reading a book.
''Hey, daddy.'' - Madi said, looking at Bellamy.
"What is it, dear?" - Bellamy closed the book she was reading and turned to look at her daughter.
''I just wanted to know if later, you can tell some history of Ancient Rome for us.'' - Madi asked and Bellamy smiled. Like Octavia, Madi also loved stories of Ancient Rome.
"Of course I can, daughter.'' - Bellamy looked at her and Madi hugged him.
''Thanks, dad.'' - Madi thanked him and Bellamy kissed the girl's forehead before she ran off and headed for Octavia.
Later, everyone had eaten a large chunk of the fish Clarke had prepared, and now the family was around the fire, each one baking his marshmallow.
''This is so good.'' - Madi said as she savored her marshmallow.
''Really.'' - Octavia nodded, savoring her too.
''I love these moments.'' - Clarke commented softly on Bellamy's shoulder as Madi and Octavia sat on the log on the other side.
''Me too, love.'' - Bellamy grinned, giving Clarke a long kiss.
''Daddy!'' - Madi called and Bellamy interrupted her kiss in Clarke, turning to look at her daughter - "You owe me a history of Ancient Rome.'' - The girl charged with her mouth full of marshmallows.
"Madi, don't talk with your mouth full.'' - Clarke scolded, causing Madi to swallow the marshmallows before she spoke again.
''Sorry, mommy.'' - Madi apologized and Clarke smiled. - "So, daddy?" - The girl turned to Bellamy again with that grin.
''Okay, okay.'' - Bellamy laughed, looking at her little girl - "Have you ever heard the story of Nero, a former Roman emperor?" - He asked, looking at Clarke, Madi, and Octavia.
"I still haven't hear..." - Madi was about to tell her father that she hadn't heard the story yet, but Octavia cut her off.
"Is he the one who burned Rome?" - Octavia asked, looking at his big brother.
"It's right, O." - Bellamy smiled, looking at her little sister. Octavia remembered most of the stories her brother had told her when she was a child. She really loved stories of Ancient Rome.
''That's not fair.'' - Madi crossed her arms, sulking - "Why does he know this story and I don't?" - She asked, looking at her father.
''Because I'm older.'' - Octavia answered for Bellamy, winking at Madi.
"But it's only three years apart, it's not so much.'' - Madi countered, showing her tongue to Octavia.
"Of course you are, brat.'' - Octavia looked at her with a mocking smile, which made Madi stand up and face Octavia angrily. Clarke, when he realized what was going to happen, decided to say:
''Okay, that's enough.'' - She nodded, looking serious at the girls. - "Madi, sit down again, please." - Clarke said, looking at his daughter.
"But mom, Octavia..." - Madi was about to complain, but Clarke interrupted her.
''Madi.'' - Clarke cut her eyes at her and Madi snorted, but didn't dare disobey her mother. Seeing that Madi had sat down again, Clarke nudged Bellamy aside, as if asking him to berate the girls as well. Usually Bellamy never gave a scold to the girls, if it were up to him, the girls could set fire to the house that everything was okay. It really took a lot for the man to get angry. Already Clarke, was a little harder on this point.
"Octavia, stop calling Madi a brat." - Bellamy sent and Octavia was about to complain, but at the sight of Bellamy's gaze, she was silent. - "And Madi, this is just a story, you don't need to stress with so little.'' - He continued, and Madi nodded slowly, pouting a little, but Bellamy just ignored him. - "Do you still want to hear the story or not?" - The man asked, looking at the girls.
Even a little annoyed that they had just been scolded, both Madi and Octavia nodded, making it clear that they still wanted to hear the story. With that, Bellamy smiled and began to tell the story of Emperor Nero. Already Clarke only smirked for proud at how Bellamy dealt with the situation.
But before Bellamy finished the story, Clarke realized that both Madi and Octavia were asleep. The scene was funny, after all. Madi had her head on Octavia's lap, while Octavia was sleeping, her head resting on her shoulder. The girls were fighting and getting involved all day, but Clarke and Bellamy knew they were close. In fact, they looked more like sisters than an aunt and niece.
"Look at this, Bellamy.'' - Clarke commented, looking at Bellamy who was still distracted telling the story. He had not even realized that Madi and Octavia had already slept.
''What?'' - The man asked, still distracted.
"The girls, my love.'' - Clarke said, pointing at Madi and Octavia.
''My god.'' - Bellamy looked at the scene with a smile - "That's cute!" - He remarked as he watched his daughter and younger sister asleep.
''Really.'' - Clarke agreed, looking at the scene as well - ''It doesn't seem like a few minutes ago, we had to intervene in their fight.'' - The blonde added, which made Bellamy laugh.
"Well..." - Bellamy said, looking at Clarke - "How about I put the girls in their tent while you wait for me in ours?" - He suggested with a wicked grin.
"Oddly enough, that doesn't seem like a bad idea.'' - Clarke said, chewing his lip lightly before he stood up and whirled toward their tent. Bellamy, on seeing Clarke like that, got up quickly with a lively smile and went to the girls to get ready to put the girls in their tent.
First he took Madi in his lap. The girl slept like a rock, so it was very easy for him to put his daughter in the tent without her waking up. Then it was Octavia's turn. Even her 16-year-old sister, when she slept like that, she seemed so small again. The man then lowered her into his lap slowly and was startled to hear her grunts. But he was relieved to remember that Octavia was talking while he was asleep. With that, he put her in the tent along with Madi and smiled at the sight. Two of the three women in his life were sleeping in front of him and they really looked like angels. He could consider himself a lucky man, after all. Then, thinking about it, he just went to his tent and went to find the third woman of his life.
''Clarke!'' - Bellamy called, entering the tent. When he entered he didn't see his wife immediately there, so he raised his eyebrows in confusion, but he smiled when he saw Clarke only with his head, while the sheet covered the rest.
"Where did we stop?" - Clarke asked with a malicious smile, letting the sheet fall and showing that she was naked from the waist up.
''I love camping!'' - Bellamy simply spoke, before pulling Clarke to a warm kiss.
Sorry to have stopped in the best part, but the purpose of this story is to focus on the Blakes mainly as a family, although I don't rule out writing some hot scene of Bellamy and Clarke later ;)
I also have to say that I usually write another kind of story, so this idea of the drabbles in the alternate universe AU is really a challenge for me as a writer. But I'm happy to write this, after all I have fun writing these drabbles with lighter situations, since in the show things really are mostly heavy between Bellamy, Octavia and Clarke.
It is. I really hope you liked it. Kisses and even the next! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
