Bellamy and Clarke pulled up to their house four hours later. Bellamy pulled a sleeping Rory into his arms and extended his hand out to Clarke. She took his hand and walked with him into the house. "Having a party?" he asked Octavia who still sat around the poker table. She grinned "Nope, just playing a little poker game" she grinned at him. "How was Mount Weather" she asked Clarke when Bellamy carried Rory off to her room. "It was good. Abby got to play grandma, while we got to spend some much needed time to ourselves" she answered. She spotted Raven on the living room couch feeding the babies.
"Hi" she sat down beside her. "Hey, how was Mount Weather?" she asked. "It was there" Clarke answered. "So, did you get your answer?" Raven asked her "Well, we got an answer" Clarke hedged. Raven arched her eyebrows "This should be good" she drawled. Clarke shook her head and sighed, then pulled the sonogram pictures from her pocket and showed them to Raven. Raven's jaw dropped open. She turned her head toward Clarke and laughed. "It's so not funny" Clarke sighed. "I told Bell, we're done after this" she told Raven. Raven snorted "I think I would do the same thing" she agreed.
Since Bellamy and Clarke were home and Rory was sleeping, the house began to clear out leaving only Monty, Harper, Jasper, Raven, Roan and Octavia along with Clarke and Bellamy. "So?" Roan looked expectantly at Bellamy. He grinned snaking his arm around Clarke's waist. Clarke rolled her eyes. "Well?" Octavia demanded impatiently. Bellamy grinned "Rory is really going to have to learn how to share her mommy and daddy" he chortled. "What does that mean?" she asked looking at Raven who couldn't stop grinning. Clarke sighed and passed the sonogram to Octavia. The other crowded around her "I knew it" she exclaimed "you are way bigger than me already" she crowed. Jasper and Monty looks confused. Roan turned his head and snorted with laughter. Octavia sighed "See the labels on the pictures" she showed Jasper and Monty.
The picture clearly read "Baby A". "Baby B" and "Baby C". Jasper cocked his head "three babies, as in triplets?" he asked. Clarke nodded "yes, three of them" she sighed. "How are you not a dead man?" Roan asked him. "I made a deal" he grinned at Clarke. "No more!" she declared staring intently at him. "I swear!" he held up a hand. "Of course that means you need to catch up" Bellamy grinned lazily at Raven. She scowled at him "I'm going to need a few months" she shot back staring pointedly at the tiny babies in her arms. "And on that note" Roan shook his head "we're going home" he said walking over to Raven and taking Theo out of her arms. He reached down and took her hand, helping her to her feet. "Good night" Raven told them. "See you later" Clarke returned.
Once everyone had left, Clarke collapsed on the couch. Bellamy walked everyone out, then locked the door behind him and sat down beside her. "You're going to be impossible for the next five months aren't you?" she asked. "Probably" he nodded "can you deal with that?" he asked. "As long as you remember that I will never do anything to deliberately hurt myself or the babies" she told him. He kissed the top of her head "I know that" he sighed "you just can't help yourself; but you are not alone anymore" he told her "and it's my job to make sure this time is easier for you , especially with you carrying three babies." She nodded
"We have minions, lots of them, who live down the hill, so please for the sake of my nerves don't take too many chances?" he pleaded "with you and Octavia being due at the same time, I'm going to be a mess." Clarke chuckled, placing her hand in his "you already are" she whispered in his ear, dropping a kiss on his cheek. "But we love you anyway." Bellamy turned his head and captured her lips with his "I'm a lucky man" he declared. "I guess that makes me a lucky woman" she sighed "but you know what I really want to do right now?" she asked. He looked at her questioningly. "Sleep" she declared "Darn babies, really three of them?" she snorted. Laughing Bellamy stood up took her hand and led her to their bedroom.
On the way to their house Raven laughed "Clarke is going Bellamy when she goes into labor" she chortled. "Not to mention taking care of three tiny babies and a toddler" Roan threw in for good measure. "Yeah, maybe Abby does need to move here" Raven agreed. "I am not going to have any more babies for at least a year" she looked at Roan pointedly. He grinned at her "I have no intention of trying to keep up with Bellamy and Clarke" he assured her. Raven threw him a grateful look "Bellamy is over the moon, but Clarke is a little freaked out" she told him. "Gee, I can't imagine why?" he chortled "having these two is tough. I can't imagine having a toddler AND three tiny babies at the same time." Raven nodded in agreement "Me either" she grinned "but if anybody can handle that, it would be Clarke and Bellamy" she told him.
Octavia sat on the front porch later that evening. She couldn't believe Bellamy was going to have three more babies, and all at the same time. The house would be crowded; maybe she needed to go back to her cabin. Even better, maybe Abby and Kane needed to move here to help them out. But the thought of having Kane here made her angry all over again. She dared not tell Bellamy what she overheard, he would not take it well, and Clarke was going to need her Abby, so she would have to stay silent for now. A twig snapped in the darkness. Octavia looked around trying to see who was walking out in the lawn. "Who's there?" she asked. Jasper walked into her view "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you" he said walking up the steps to sit beside her. "How often do you sit out here?" he asked her. "most nights" she shrugged "I don't sleep well at night." He stared out at the darkness "What's your excuse?" she asked him. "Same here" he answered.
The truth was when he slept, especially at night, images of Maya haunted him. Jasper spiraled out of control after her death. He'd begun to get better, but it was long process. "So, three babies, huh?" Jasper asked "do you think they'll survive?" he asked. She chuckled "Bellamy will definitely regret wanting a big family, but yeah they'll be okay. Besides, they have all of us" she nodded in the direction of the cabins. "Are you going to stay here with them?" he asked her. "For now" she nodded "it makes Bell feel better with me being close and since Harlo ran off…" she sighed.
"Did you love him?" Jasper asked. Octavia shook her head "He wasn't supposed to be the one, you know" she told him. "I just wanted to feel something, besides loss. I miss Lincoln" she sighed sadly. Jasper knew that feeling "I get that" he spoke softly. She glanced over at him "Maya?" she asked. He nodded "I know I didn't know her long, but I loved her" he sighed. "I completely understand" Octavia sighed. They'd both experienced the loss of someone they had loved.
While he turned to drinking and acting badly; she had turned her aggressions in other directions choosing instead to love others in the temporary since turning many guys into rebound relationships. Getting pregnant was never part of the plan, even though Bellamy had warned her to be careful. "Bell tried to tell me to be careful, but I was so mad at him, listening to his advice wasn't at the top of my list" she snorted "maybe I should have." Jasper chuckled "yeah probably, but it doesn't matter. He would protect you even if you got pregnant to spite him. He was always way overprotective of you." Octavia knew that, she also knew at one point Jasper had a crush on her "That never stopped you from flirting with me" she pointed out. Jasper grinned "I had Clarke on my side. She was nearly as scary as Bellamy" he chuckled. "That was so true. Even then sparks flew between them" she agreed.
"We used to be so much happier" Jasper sighed "remember when we first go dropped here?" he asked. Octavia laughed "yeah, everything was new and dangerous and we ran headlong into. What happened to us?" she sighed. "love and loss" Jasper snorted "I'm never going to love anyone again" he declared. Octavia touched his hand "right there with you!" she sighed "Never again." Jasper glanced in her direction meeting her eyes "Never again" he repeated quietly, closing his hand around hers.
