Roan walked into the ark and easily found Harlo, who looked at him with fear in his eyes. Roan crossed his arms over his chest and stared at him, without saying a word. Harlo gulped "Did you come alone?" he asked. "What do you think?" Roan asked in a quiet voice. "Where is he?" Roan asked. "Out in the rover, trying to collect himself, so he doesn't kill you" Roan told him. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't let him?" Harlo looked down "I know it was dumb of me to run away" he said quietly, "I'm not ready for this." Roan shook his head "well that's too damn bad" Roan told him "you started the relationship with her, you'll suck it up and face the consequences of that decision" he commanded. "What if she doesn't want me to come back?" he asked. "Oh you wont be staying with her in the cabin" Roan assured him. "She is staying with Bellamy and Clarke for a little while. And when she wants to return the cabin, you won't be there."
Roan might not be the king anymore, but Harlo had no doubt that is authority in this matter was binding. "I wasn't the only one involved in this process" Harlo pointed out. "No you weren't" Bellamy spoke from behind Roan in steely tones. Roan stepped to the side and allowed Harlo to get a glimpse of Bellamy's steely gaze "and Octavia will have to face the consequences of her choices too, but I can assure you, she won't face them alone" he said, his eyes glittering dangerously. Fear leapt into Harlo's eyes.
"We talked about this" Bellamy reminded him "You said you were prepared to be the man she needed to be when she was ready, but the first thing you do is run away when she needs you the most?" Harlo stepped back as Bellamy advanced toward him. "I'm not ready for this" Harlo sputtered "Well you have nine months to get ready" Bellamy reached him and grabbed a handful of his shirt. Harlo looked to Roan who merely stood there, his hands crossed over his chest. "So you'd better figure out how to do that" Bellamy spoke with deadly silence
"In the meantime, you leave my sister alone. I don't even want to see you in the settlement. Are we very clear on that?" he asked. Harlo gulped and nodded. "When you think you are ready to deal with the consequences of your choices, you will come to me first" he instructed Harlo. "I don't even want you to speak to her until you have figured out what you intend to do about her and this baby she is carrying. Then you will discuss those things with me. Now get out of my sight before I forget the promise I made to my wife to behave myself" he said releasing Harlo's shirt with a hard shove. Harlo practically ran away after Bellamy released him.
Roan uncurled his arms and grinned at Bellamy "Think he'll be back?" he asked. "He'd damned well better be" Bellamy replied "because next time, I won't be so nice." Roan had no doubt about that. "Do you need anything for Raven while were here?" Bellamy asked him. Roan shook his head, "Are you going to be okay if he comes back?" Roan asked. Bellamy shrugged "Hopefully, I scared him enough that he is going to figure out how to do the right thing. If not, we'll deal with that too" he sighed.
The ride back to the settlement was quiet. Bellamy needed to talk to Octavia about her plans for the unexpected pregnancy. She needed to make some plans of her own. "Even if Harlo doesn't come back Octavia will be fine" Roan assured him. "She's strong, stubborn like another Blake that I know" he grinned "besides, she's got you." Bellamy nodded "She's my baby sister" he sighed "She deserves better." Roan couldn't disagree with that "yeah, but she will be fine" he assured her.
"Speaking of fine" Bellamy glanced at him "Are you ready to have two babies around?" He asked. "You mean when you and Clarke aren't babysitting" he chortled. Bellamy grinned "Trust me, it'll be a minute before they do more than sleep and eat" he said "After that, we'll be happy to babysit as often as you like. Better yet, we'll let Octavia do it, she'll need the practice" he grinned. Roan shook his head "I'll bet your mom had her hands full with you and Octavia while you grew up." Bellamy chuckled "A little, but we couldn't be too obnoxious, Octavia wasn't even supposed to exist."
Roan couldn't imagine the life they'd been forced to live in space. The more he heard about their lives, the less he wanted to know. "Did you guys have any fun growing up?" he asked. Bellamy laughed "We did, we just had to be careful."
They pulled into the settlement a couple of hours later. Octavia was sitting outside with Rory. "Hey" Bellamy sat down beside her. Rory who had been standing while Octavia held her hands, dropped to her knees and crawled over to him. "Hi princess" he grinned at her. She crawled into his lap and sat down. "Is Raven doing okay?" Roan asked. Octavia nodded "She and Clarke are both asleep, so I brought Rory outside." Roan watched Bellamy with his daughter; he couldn't wait to see what his boys would be like. "I'm going to check on the construction down the hill" he told them knowing they needed to talk.
"Did you find him" Octavia asked. Bellamy nodded. "And?" she asked. "He's in one piece, I barely touched him" he told her. "Define barely" she looked at him. "I grabbed a handful of his shirt and shoved him after I was done. I promise there's not a single mark on him." Octavia looked at him "good" she sighed. He chuckled "So, do you love him or was it just a way to make yourself feel better?" he asked. "I don't know that I love him" Octavia sighed "I mean, I care about him, but love, I don't know" she shrugged. Bellamy sighed "You have to have a plan too, rather he comes back or not" he told her. "Soon, you're going to have one of these" he said staring down at Rory, who had fallen asleep in his arms, "and you need to have a plan."
Octavia chewed on her lower lip "I hadn't gotten beyond being pregnant, but I'll work on a plan" she promised him.
He nodded "Okay, so here's the deal" he told her "Harlo was told by both Roan and I to leave you alone. You can stay with us or in your cabin. But he has to answer to me before he can even see you" he stopped and waited for her protest. When none came, he continued "That means you can't run to him, even if you feel the need to talk things out. He crossed a line O, and he needs to know that." Octavia nodded "I get it, I will accept those terms" she said. "Okay" he kissed the top of her head "Do you want to return to your cabin?" he asked. She shook her head "Can I stay with you and Clarke for a while?" she asked. He grinned "You can stay with us for as long as you want. I'm adding on to the house, we need more room." Octavia shook her head "Planning on giving Roan and Raven a run for their money on kids?" she chortled. "For as long as my beautiful wife allows" he grinned.
