A few hours later, Clarke lay sleeping on the couch, her head resting in Bellamy's lap. Rory was asleep in her arms. Bellamy played with her a piece of Clarke's hair. Roan grinned at him "you are such a goner" he laughed. "I was a goner the second my daughter was born" he agreed. "Welcome to the club" Bellamy grinned at him watching Roan with his boys. "I used to think it was crazy how protective you were of 'your girls'" he snorted "Now I completely get it" he said staring down at the sleeping babies in his arms. Bellamy nodded "It's a lesson I learned when I was just a kid" he replied "When you're ten and someone puts an infant in your arms and tells you that you are responsible for them, you don't soon forget it." Roan looked at him "That's a lot of responsibility to put on a kid" he said. "It was necessary" Bellamy sighed gazing at Octavia who dozed in a chair across the room. "She's a fighter" Roan followed Bellamy's gaze "She'll be okay."
The babies chose that moment to wake up. Bellamy laughed as Roan tried to juggle the two boys as he got up. "Want some help?" he chortled. Roan scowled at him "I wish twins on you too" he snorted "and no, I got it" he grinned victoriously "its just going to take some practice." Bellamy laughed as Roan walked toward the bedroom. Clarke stirred "Are you making fun of him?" she asked. "Of course" Bellamy chortled "and in return, he cursed us with a wish of twins." Clarke shook her head "I am not having twins Bellamy Blake" she declared "We can't go from one child to three in nine months." He grinned "Technically, it will be four, seeing as Octavia is going to be due about the same time as you" he pointed out.
Clarke narrowed her eyes at him "I swear if we have…" he cut her off with kiss "you'll what?" he asked "because if you are having twins, the damage is already done" he laughed at her. She sighed "You realize that I already have 3 kids right?" she asked him. "Three?" he looked confused "yes, two of them are fully grown too…" she trailed off, glancing between him and Octavia. He narrowed his eyes at her "would a kid do this?" he asked leaning down and capturing her lips in an intense kiss. Clarke sighed wrapping her arms around his neck. "Get a room" Octavia called from her chair across the room. "Are you saying you're going to babysit so we can" Bellamy laughed at her. Octavia rolled her eyes "nope, you two will have to figure out how to have kids and still have sex" she declared grinning. "We'll remember to give you some tips, so you do too" he shot back.
"Don't have sex, its bad, very bad" Raven grumbled walking into the room with one of the babies in her arms. Roan followed close behind with the other one. Clarke laughed "so you're saying you're never going to have sex again?" she asked. "I didn't necessarily say that…" she smiled tiredly "I'm just not having sex anytime soon" she said sitting on the couch next to Clarke, who was now sitting with Rory in her lap. "Yeah that'll change" Clarke chuckled. "Sex leads to babies, and I ain't having any more of them" she stared pointedly at Roan "But we have two more bedrooms to fill" Roan pointed out. "At least one will be a guest bedroom" she declared.
"Does that mean you have room for us?" Abby spoke from the entry way. "Mom, what are you doing here?" Clarke asked. "Just paying a visit to my favorite granddaughter… I mean daughter" she laughed. Rory heard Abby's voice and began cooing. Abby came around the corner and saw the babies in Raven and Roan's arms "and I was going to get a call when?" she asked them. "Soon" Clarke snorted "she just had them two hours ago." Rory jumped excitedly in Clarke's lap "ma ma ma" she cooed. Abby laughed "Grandma hasn't forgotten you" she grinned plucking her out of Clarke's lap, Kane walked in a few minutes later "This settlement is pretty impressive" he told them. Then he noticed the babies "congratulations" he looked at Raven and Roan. "Thank you" Raven smiled at him. "So, do they have names yet?" Abby asked. "That is the question of the day" Clarke replied eyeing Raven. "As I recall, we waited longer for you to share your names" she snorted. "Anyway…" Clarke stared at her pointedly.
"Wow, they are truly identical" Abby remarked. Raven nodded "yeah, they are, but we have noticed some subtle differences" Raven pointed out. "Baby A here, for instance has longer fingers and just a hint of red in his hair. Don't ask where it came from" She glanced at Clarke "His name is going to be Jacob Finn." Clarke smiled "that's a good name" she said. "I thought you might like it" Raven grinned. "And baby B, well he is a little instigator. He is the first to cry and he has long legs, but chubby little fingers. His name is Theo Blake." Bellamy grinned "Hey look I have a mini-me" he laughed. Raven shook her head "The difference is this one I can tame if he misbehaves…" she laughed. "I got your back he whispered to the baby in Roan's arms. "My grandfather would be proud" he said kissing Raven.
"Good strong names" Abby told her "I'm so proud of you both. Now when do I get to hold them?" she asked. "Ahh mom, you might want to hand off Rory to someone else. She hasn't warmed up to the babies yet" Clarke warned. "Whatever are you going to do when your brother or sister come along?" she grinned at Rory. "Brothers or Sisters" Roan corrected looking at Bellamy. "Did I miss something?" Abby asked. "No" Clarke sighed. "Bellamy was torturing Roan earlier about juggling two babies, so he said he hoped I had twins this time." Abby laughed "Do you guys always torture each other?" she asked. "Yeah pretty much" Octavia replied. "I'll take Rory home and put her to bed" Octavia said "I'm tired anyway" she yawned. "Are you feeling okay O?" Bellamy asked. She nodded "just tired" she said taking Rory from Abby's outstretched arms.
"Is Octavia sick?" Abby asked sitting back with Jacob in her arms. "No, she's fine" Bellamy answered, but Abby didn't look convinced "She's pregnant" he told her when she kept looking at him. Abby could tell by his tone there was a whole story they weren't telling. "Is everything ok?" she asked. "It will be" Bellamy answered "One way or another." Abby sensed that she had stepped into a sensitive subject. "Okay, but If you guys need anything, let us know" she told him. Bellamy smiled "Thanks Abby, I will" he told her. Clarke yawned. "And on that note" Bellamy stood up reaching for Clarke's hand "I'm taking my wife home, she needs her sleep." Abby looked at Raven and Roan "Do you care if we stay here?" she asked them. Raven shook her head "We have more room than them anyway." Abby nodded "I will come check on you in the morning" Clarke told Raven. Raven nodded "Thanks for everything today Clarke" she said. "You're welcome" she grinned. They bid the others good night and headed for their own house.
After Bellamy and Clarke left Abby Shooed Raven and Roan back to bed "Let Grandma Abby take care of your babies, while you get some sleep" she told them. Raven shot her a grateful look "Thanks Abby" she sighed. Abby grinned "Are you kidding? More babies to spoil, I'm happy to do it" she laughed. Back in their bed, Roan held Raven in her arms "Abby has great timing" he sighed "what is her secret?" he wondered aloud. "Intuition" Raven told him "mother's have the best intuition, well most mothers anyway." She clarified. Roan looked at her, he knew she was thinking about her mother, who couldn't be bothered to take care of her only daughter. Most of the time, it didn't bother her, but in the post-partum stage of her pregnancy she was entitled to be a little melancholy. "You are going to be a great mother" he told her pulling her closer. "We will be able to tell our boys apart at some point, right?" she looked at him. "God, I hope so, or they will get away with murder" he chuckled. "Now go to sleep while we have babysitters" he said pulling her down to the bed with him.
