Bellamy came home that evening prepared to move things and set up the house, but he when he walked in, he saw that Clarke had already done that. The house was full of furniture that he didn't recall bringing from the ark such as the squishy couch from the chancellor's suite and a few other things. He walked from room to room looking for Clarke. He heard the rover pull in and stood on the porch. Clarke hopped out followed by Octavia and Harlo. "Well, look who came to visit" he said grinning at his sister. "Clarke was at the ark picking things up, so we decided to tag along on the way back" she said. "Its always good to see you O" he said pulling her into a hug. Harlo and Clarke were unloading a few more pieces of furniture from the rover. "Pillaging the ark, are we?" he drawled as she passed him. "Just a few things" she grinned "did you miss me?" she asked. "Always" he said planting a kiss on her lips.
"You know you could have waited for me to come home to help" he told her when they had unloaded the rover and set the rest of the things in the house. "I am perfectly capable of doing some things you know" she scoffed. "I can even help build the cabins. Raven can keep an eye on Rory during the day" she declared. Bellamy shook his head "you stay her with Rory where its safe" he told her. Clarke sighed "Bell" she spoke again "I am not a delicate flower. I can and want to help" she told him. "I could totally live out here" Octavia rounded the corner preventing him from saying anything further on the subject. "We have an extra room" Clarke shrugged "do it." Octavia looked to Harlo "We could" she said. He nodded "Yeah, or we could build a cabin of our own" he said. Bellamy scowled hearing this, something Clarke did not miss. "Who would run the ark?" Bellamy asked. "The rest of the council" Octavia replied. "Bell, I've never been in real house before. I'm tired of living on the ark" she told him. Why Octavia wanted to leave the ark wasn't the problem. The problem was with who she wanted to leave the ark with.
Octavia put her hands on her hips "This may surprise you Bell," she said, "But I'm an adult, and can make my own decisions." Clarke saw Bellamy take a deep breath, he didn't like it when she declared her independence. In fact, it downright irritated him. She walked up behind him and placed her arms around his waist. Sighing, he placed a hand over hers and relaxed back against her. "Octavia" Clarke called over his shoulder "have you seen how big your niece is getting?" she asked pointedly staring at Bellamy. "Where is she?" Octavia asked looking around. "Next door with Raven" Clarke answered "Why don't we go get her, while Bellamy and Harlo take a walk to the cabins. Bellamy glowered at her furiously as she and Octavia walked out the door.
Harlo looked absolutely terrified, but he walked beside Bellamy as they headed down the hill to where the cabins were being built. "Ahh Bellamy" Harlo spoke, almost fearfully "I know you don't approve of Octavia seeing anyone, but…" he trailed off as Bellamy stopped in front of him and stared him down "But what?" he asked dangerously. "We didn't start a relationship without guidelines" he said "There are rules and we discussed consequences." Bellamy inhaled and looked skyward "and what are your plans for any consequences?" Before Harlo could answer Octavia came walking out of Raven and Roan's carrying Rory "Oh my gosh, she's so big!" Octavia gushed walking up to Bellamy. "da da da' Rory cooed lunging for Bellamy. "Hello princess" he smiled "Did you have fun with Raven today?" Octavia scowled at him, "Hey, I was holding her" she protested "Well take her" he held her out, but when Octavia reached for her, she pulled back. "Sorry O" he grinned "she is daddy's girl." Octavia shrugged "That's okay, Harlo and I can scout out a location for our cabin, and I'll hold her later" she declared beckoning for Harlot to follow her.
Clarke stepped next to Bellamy, "so, being authoritative is Blake thing?" she commented. Bellamy scowled "I don't like that they are going to live together" he said. Clarke arched her eyebrows "they probably already are" she replied. "And" Bellamy turned to her "Why did you go to the ark alone?" he asked. "You should have waited for me or someone else." Clarke stepped back and crossed her arms over her chest. "Oh really?" she asked "and what was so wrong about that?" she asked. "We needed things, and you, along with everyone else were needed to build cabins. It was daylight for heaven's sake" she asked. "And what if the rover broke down or if you got attacked?" he asked. Clarke drew a deep breath "One" she began "Raven knew where I was and when to expect me home. If I didn't make it back, she was going to tell you where I went. And two attacked by what?" she asked, "Do you really think anyone or anything survived the radiation. Even if they had, they could attack here just as well as on the way to the ark."
Sensing the tension, Rory began to fuss. She reached for Clarke who took her into her arms "I don't want you going to the ark alone, its not safe" he told her "besides someone needs to look after Raven and Rory" he told her. Clarke looked taken aback "well since apparently I have no better use than that, I guess that's what I'll do' she spat out turning on her heels. Bellamy sighed and threw his head back .Clarke was pissed, he was going to pay for that later. He would just give her some time to cool off, that way he could check on Octavia and Harlo.
Clarke paced in Raven's living room. At Raven's insistence, she had put Rory down to occupy herself as Clarke's mood had influenced her mood as well. Raven silently watched Clarke pace and rant angrily "the nerve of that..that.. idiot' Clarke spat out. "Well say something" Clarke looked at Raven. Raven had no words, she saw Clarke's anger build over time, she wondered when it would come to a head. "You know Bellamy, he is overly protective. And from the sounds of it he was already being protective or Octavia, and just couldn't stop himself" she suggested. "Yeah, well maybe he should have" Clark declared in a deadly tone. Raven noticed the tone of Clarke's voice and shivered. Clarke picked up Rory from the living room floor and walked out of the house. A few moments later, Raven heard the rover start up. "this is not good" she sighed.
