Octavia and Jasper sat on the steps looking out into the inky darkness. "It's so peaceful at night" she sighed. "It can be" Jasper agreed, but they both knew how lonely the nights could get. "Oh" she grunted softly, touching her stomach. "Are you okay?" Jasper turned to look at her. She nodded "the baby is moving" she grinned. "Really, does it hurt?" he asked. She shook her head "just feels weird. Do you want to feel it?" she asked, He looked unsure, but she grabbed his hand and placed it on her abdomen. He felt a little flutter against his palm "wow, that doesn't hurt?" he asked in disbelief, moving his hand away. "Not really, it hurts worse when the baby sits in my lower back." He shook his head "I don't know how you girls do it" he sighed "being pregnant has to suck." She laughed "you'd have to ask Raven and Clarke that, they have more experience than I do." Jasper looked at her "Would you get pregnant again?" he asked. She shrugged "I didn't plan on getting pregnant this time" she sighed "but I suppose if the right guy came along" she replied. He laughed "Harper is getting baby crazy with all these babies around. Monty isn't sure he is ready though" Jasper chuckled. "I watch Bellamy with Clarke all the time" she grinned "it definitely takes a strong partnership to pull it off."
"He was funny this morning" Jasper grinned, remembering earlier when Bellamy brought Rory down to the field. Octavia grinned "I know, Bell was going to teach Rory to play ball today, and all she wanted to do was play in the dirt" she laughed. "He's a good dad" Jasper said "He'll be a good uncle, too." Octavia nodded "he will, I just wish all men were like that" she spoke softly, a tone of sadness in her voice. "Not all men are like that coward you got involved with" Jasper told her. "I know, but some are. My dad was too" she sighed. "Do you know who your dad was? He asked. She nodded "I recently found out" she chewed her lower lip. "Who was it?" he asked "I mean if you want to tell me." She shrugged "I don't mind telling you, but I'm not ready for everybody else to know yet" she looked at him. "Okay" he looked into her eyes and nodded "my dad is Marcus Kane."
Jasper turned to look at her "Kane? Didn't he float your mom?" he asked. Octavia nodded "Does Bellamy know?" She nodded "Kane says there are extenuating circumstances. Bell thinks we should hear him out before we make any decisions" she answered. "And how do you feel about that?" he asked. She shrugged "If Bell, can feel that way, I guess I can try. I mean he is the only other living relative of my baby" she shrugged. "Yeah" Jasper nodded "he could be a good grandparent. Especially if you play on his guilt" he chuckled. Laughing, Octavia snorted "terrible" she shook her head. "But true" he pointed out "If you play that right, we could get running water and electricity here" he pointed out. Octavia shook her head and laughed "you do have a point" she replied. "Couldn't hurt, right?" he asked. She nodded in agreement "what else do we need here?" she grinned "we might as well shoot for the moon, right? They sat discussing all the things they could ask for to play on Kane's guilt until Octavia yawned "bedtime?" he asked. She nodded "yeah, it's about that time" she grinned. "I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow sometime" Octavia bid him goodbye. Jasper returned her greeting and walked down the stairs.
Octavia walked into the house half-expecting to see Bellamy sitting on the couch with Rory, but to her surprise Clarke was there, her feet propped up on the ottoman. "Everything okay?" Octavia asked her. Clarke nodded "yes, the babies have decided to stay awake tonight and Bellamy was sleeping, so I came out here." Octavia sighed, she knew that feeling "Do all babies do that?" she asked. Clarke laughed "I've decided only Blake babies do that" she snorted "Raven's boys slept at night when she was pregnant." Octavia shrugged "Could be, Bell and I were always up at night" she said. "I kind of figured" Clarke chuckled. "Is Rory asleep?" Octavia asked. "No, but mommy is not the pushover that daddy is, so unless she is really screaming, she is going to let her be" Clarke shrugged. "Daddy is a pushover" Octavia grinned. Octavia came around and sat down on the couch "Have you heard from Harlo" Clarke asked her. Octavia shook her head "I know Bell wants him to step up, but I'm not going to force him." Clarke smiled at her "Bell wants you to be happy, and if Harlo is not the key to your happiness, then don't waste your time on him." Clarke told her. "Thanks" Octavia said yawned "I'm going to bed now. Good luck with Rory" she grinned. Clarke smiled "mommy will win the war…unless daddy wakes up" she rolled her eyes.
"Daddy's tired" Bellamy walked into the room a few minutes later. He laid down on the couch with his head on Clarke's thighs and his feet hanging over the edge. "Is she okay?" he looked up at her. She nodded "I just checked on her. She has a clean diaper and a full belly. Right now she is just talking to herself, listen to her…" She cocked her head in the direction of Rory's room. Bellamy grinned, it did sound like she was having a conversation with herself. "Was that O I heard a minute ago?" he asked. Clarke nodded "she was heading off to bed." He splayed a hand across her belly "still awake, huh?" he asked. "I told you it's a Blake thing" she sighed, her fingers entangled in his hair. "So, what's your excuse?" he chortled. "Well, I am a Blake" she grinned down at him. "Yes, you most certainly are" he said planting a kiss on her rounded abdomen. The sounds coming from Rory's room ceased "I think she finally gave up and went to sleep" Clarke grinned. "Want me to go check?" he asked. "Nah, if she isn't sleeping she will be soon" she replied.
"I am going to work on the house while you are Rory are at Mount Weather in your last month is that okay?" he asked. Clarke nodded "Just be sure to come see us once in a while and be there when the babies come" she replied. "I wouldn't miss it for the world" he gazed up at her. "Are you sure you're okay with stopping after this?" she asked him. He nodded "Four is enough, and we'll have O's baby to spoil as well" he said. "Yes, let her have the rest of the kids. The best part is we can spoil them and send them home" she laughed. "She lives here" Bellamy drawled looking up at her "eventually, she'll get back to her own place" Clarke told him "She just needs time."
"And if she doesn't?" he asked. "Then she is free to stay here, just don't spoil the kids, because then we have to live with it" she chuckled. "Good point" he drawled. "Come on wife" he swing his feet around and stood up "I think all of the Blake children are finally asleep" he said pulling her to her feet. "Let's follow their lead." Clarke smiled "that is the best idea you've had all day" she agreed walking with him to their bedroom.
