"We do have ten minutes" Bellamy whispered stealing another kiss. Clarke grinned "As much as I would love to entertain that thought" she sighed "we need to get going, and you sir need to get dressed" she said dancing away with their daughter in her arms. He chuckled at her retreating back "fine, deny me" he grumbled good-naturedly. "Five minutes" Roan called into the cave. "Hold your horses I'm coming" he answered. Roan snickered as Bellamy passed him "Trying to keep up with Raven and I?" he asked. Bellamy shook his head "You're just jealous that you aren't getting any right now" he scowled. "If we were talking about my sex life" Roan drawled "I'd tell you that Raven and I don't need to 'practice' right now" he said. "You on the other hand, need to catch up" he joked. Bellamy shook his head "Tell Clarke that" he replied. "Not my place" Roan snorted.
Bellamy walked over and jumped into the rover he and Roan had used to bring over the beds the girls had requested, along with some other things they would need. Climbing in beside Clarke and a very pregnant Raven his thoughts drifted back to his sister. Clarke had a point, pregnancy was a side effect of sex, but that didn't mean he would be okay with her having a baby. He still wasn't sure was okay with her seeing Harlo; though he supposed that was a moot point since he was four hours away from them. Not that being there would make her stop seeing Harlo. Octavia was strong-willed and stubborn, much like his wife and Raven. Roan glanced over at him "That's some scowl" he remarked. "What do you know about Harlo?" he asked. "Ahh" Roan remarked realizing what was causing Bellamy to scowl. "Ahh what?" Bellamy asked. "Nothing, I just figured out why you're scowling" he grinned. "She's my baby sister" he shrugged. "You know, she's not a baby right?" Roan asked. Bellamy glared at him "I know that" he scowled again "but that doesn't mean I'm okay with her dating and…" he sighed. "having sex?" Roan chuckled. Bellamy shot him a dirty look.
Roan just laughed at him. "I hate to break it to you man, but she is probably having sex" he snickered. Roan shook his head "you know she hates that you try to take care of her right?" he asked. Bellamy nodded"I do know that" he said "that's what makes it more fun." Roan looked over at him, he admired Bellamy's dogged belief that it was up to him to protect the women in his life; but he was learning rather quickly with Raven that women didn't want to be taken care of all the time, especially strong women like Raven, Octavia and Clarke. Bellamy on the other hand, was so hell bent on taking care of them, that he often did not see their reaction to it was not a good one. They pulled up to the construction site and began got out of the rover. The hill they had chosen was massive, big enough so that each family could have their own house, without being able to look into each other's windows. Some of the crew had already started framing more houses; these houses would be smaller than the two on the hilltop where the four of them would be living. A lot of the younger men working hadn't yet thought about having a family, so the little houses suited them just fine. Plus, they were easier and faster to build, which made building the settlement up quicker.
Roan watched at Raven and Clarke, with Rory strapped to her chest to keep her out of the way carried things from the rover to the houses. Roan had put two crews to work getting their house ready so Raven didn't have to deal with paint fumes and construction dirt, so it was finished enough they could live in it. He watched as Raven carried bags in each arm, "Are you doing okay?" he asked walking over to her. She nodded "I'm fine" she told him "Go back to work on the other houses. I can handle this" she told him. They had talked about this the day Raven and Clarke came into camp after the third month he and Bellamy had been gone more than they had been home. The two of them were sitting with Monty and Jasper, drinking a cold brew from the homemade still when the rover pulled up and the two of them got out with Rory in tow. At first, he was concerned that something was wrong with one of them or Rory, but he soon found out that was not the case.
As much as he begged and pleaded, Raven stood toe to toe with him, daring him to stop her from staying, a steely glint in her eyes. He recognized that look, had seen it many times, both from Raven and Clarke, as well as other women in his life. That was a look you didn't argue with, at least not him. Bellamy on the other hand didn't see the danger in ignoring that look, but Roan was sure he would one day be taught why he shouldn't. "Ok" he sighed "Just be careful and don't overdue it" he pleaded. Raven snorted "Do you really think I decide when I need to rest these days?" she asked running her hand over her rounded abdomen. "Good boys" he chuckled placing a hand on her stomach. There was a flurry of activity going on under his hand, apparently the boys were wide awake and swimming around in there. Raven glowered at him "go, be a man, build things" she pointed in the direction of the rows of cabins popping up "I promise to be careful and rest when I get tired." He nodded and dropped a kiss on her lips before grabbing Bellamy and heading off to work.
"Thank God" Clarke sighed watching Bellamy walk away "he is driving me nuts." Raven chuckled "You just have to put your foot down like I did" she replied. "Have you met Bellamy?" Clarke asked, using some fences she made using wood to create a penned in area for Rory to play in while she worked. At the moment, Rory was asleep in her crib in the middle, but it wouldn't be long before the crib became more a prison than a playpen. Clarke had a point, even with all the work they had to do on building the other cabins, Bellamy had stayed to empty the rover, so Clarke wouldn't have to. "It was one thing when I was pregnant for him to do everything, and not let me do anything, but I'm not pregnant anymore. I can still help out around here" she ranted.
Raven had seen this moment coming, she knew that the love Bellamy and Clarke had for each other would withstand even the toughest battle of wills. After all the two of them went through, it would take more than a seriously over protective Bellamy to make Clarke stop loving him, but that didn't mean a battle wasn't brewing. At some point, one of them was bound to give into their stubbornness and hold the other at bay. Maybe it was boredom because of her pregnancy, or maybe it was something else, but Raven kind of hoped to see one of them stand up to the other. "Have you tried talking to him?" Raven suggested. "not really" she sighed "usually at that point 'Mr. one track mind' takes over and, well I get a little distracted" she admitted, her cheeks turning a little rosy. Raven did not need an explanation to know about the nature of the distraction. Roan had was also pretty good about using the same type of distraction when it suited him. Fortunately for her, being pregnant with twins had made it easier to hold him at bay; though he could still do magical things with his hands and his lips when he put his mind to it. Raven grinned at her "You could tame 'mr. one track mind' you know" she suggested. Clarke sighed "I could, but he is so good at what he does…" she shook her head. "TMI" Raven held up her hand laughing. Clarke looked at her and grinned. Raven yawned "Come on" Clarke said "Lets get Rory and go set your bed up so you can get some real sleep. "Sleeping in a real bed sounds like a great idea" Raven agreed.
Clarke and Raven walked through the two-story house that would be Raven and Roan's home. He had clearly worked double time to get it ready for them, as the walls were painted and the doors were hung. Clarke had brought Rory's portable crib and moved it and her sleeping daughter into one of the lower rooms while they set up the bed in the master bedroom. "Right through here" Raven pointed as Clarke and the Young man Roan had obligated to stay with them to move the heavy furniture into the houses, loaded the bed frame, box springs and mattress into the room. The two of the quickly assembled the bed and Raven laid back on it "ahh" she sighed "I've missed this bed." Clarke snorted "Maybe you should marry it" she laughed. "Don't tempt me" Raven joked. "Do you want help making it?" she asked. Raven shook her head "leave Rory here and go get your bed loaded into your house. I'm going to put some sheets and blankets and take a nap. I'll listen for Rory." Clark nodded gratefully, she would definitely get more done if her daughter was not under foot.
It didn't take long for Clarke and the young man to get the bed loaded into her and Bellamy's house and once that job was done she sent him back to work on the cabins. "I'm supposed to stay here in case you two need anything" he said reluctant to leave. Clarke smiled knowingly "I bet you are" she sighed "Listen, I appreciate that and I certainly don't want you to get into trouble because of me, but you will be of better use to us building cabins than lugging things into my house" she told him. He gave her a skeptical look. "I know my husband can be menacing and if he gives you problems, just tell him I sent you away and if he has a problem with that, he can take it up with me" Clarke told him. With a reluctant sigh, the young man walked away. Clarke set to work on her own house, setting up Rory's room and putting things away in her and Bellamy's room. Those two rooms, along with a functioning bathroom and makeshift kitchen were the main rooms they would live in while the rest of the house was being completed. Clarke did notice that Bellamy had added another bedroom to their house, bringing them to a total of four bedrooms. Apparently, roan wasn't the only one who was planning on a big family. After she had the house exactly the way she wanted it. She walked back over to Raven's house. True to her word, Raven had curled up on the big, squishy bed from the ark and was fast asleep. Rory, on the other hand, was wide awake sitting up in her playpen in the other room. Clarke walked over to the playpen and lifted her out "ma ma ma ma" she chanted. "Yes, I am the mama" she cooed "Come on sweet pea, let's go introduce you to our new home" she whispered, closing the door on the way out.
