Raven and Clarke sat on the hill with only the boys on a blanket in front of them. Bellamy had take Rory down to the ball field with him again. "Are you ready to go to Mount Weather after the game?" Clarke asked Raven. Raven nodded. "Are you going to be ready?" she snorted nodding at Rory who once again enjoyed playing in the dirt more than the game itself. Clarke shook her head "who knows" she sighed "Bellamy is determined she is going to learn how to play ball. Rory had began walking soon after she stood up two weeks ago, and Clarke was sure she was probably annoying the other players more than any of them dared to say.
The day before Bellamy and Roan had already packed the rover with non-essential supplies for their two day visit to Mount Weather. Raven and Clarke watched "Amazing how much more we need to take with us" Raven shook her head. Clarke snorted "We're going to need a rover for just the crap we have to carry after the babies are born" she rubbed her swollen belly. "Heck, we're going to need a rover for just the kids!" Raven shook her head. "Maybe Octavia can add a second rover to her list of things to ask Kane for" Bellamy came around the corner. Clarke rolled her eyes. Jasper, Octavia and Bellamy had a long list of things they were going to ask Kane for to play on his guilt "Terrible" she grinned at him. He kissed her softly "whatever it takes to get us the things we need, right?" he chuckled before running off to help Roan load more things for Jacob and Theo in the rover.
"Have they decided what they're going to say to Kane when they see him?" Raven asked her. Clarke shook her head "not really, they have a list of questions, but the conversation may change based on the answers they receive" she replied. "I couldn't imagine finding out your father knew about you all along and didn't even try. Its so sad" Raven sighed. "Yeah, and poor Octavia gets to live it all over again with her baby" Clarke agreed. "However, I hear that Jasper is a frequent visitor at your house these days" Raven grinned. "Yeah, he used to sit on the porch with her at night, but lately he's been over for dinner a lot" Clarke laughed. "And how does Bellamy feel about that?" Raven looked at her. "Bell is okay with it, he is still upset that Harlo hasn't come around, but Octavia doesn't seem to care."
Harper came running up the hill carrying a very dirty little girl on her hip. "Bellamy figured you'd want to clean her up before the trip to Mount Weather" she said. Clarke shook her head "Thanks Harper" Clarke grinned reaching for Rory. "I can do it if you want" Harper offered "Its not big deal." Clarke shrugged "Sure, do you know where Rory's things are?" She asked. Harper nodded "Yeah, no problem" she nodded. "Let me know if you need anything" Clarke called after Harper as she ran in the direction of the house. She raised a hand in acknowledgement, but kept walking. Clarke turned back to Raven "Jasper says Harper has become baby crazy lately" she grinned "which apparently is not sitting well with Monty." Raven snorted "she can babysit for me, that'll cure that itch" she laughed. "But Jacob and Theo are so cute" Clarke sighed "they're not so cute at two am when you want to sleep and they want to eat" she drawled. Clarke grinned "Yeah, I know" she sighed "I'll be right there with you again in a few months."
Raven laughed at her "You'll be okay. You have father of the year living with you" she said. Clarke smiled "I know, and now that I got him to leave Rory in her bed at night and go to sleep her, he'll be able to help with the babies." Raven looked at her "how did you do that?" she asked. Clarke told her about the other night when they sat on the couch and listened to her sing herself to sleep. "Smart" Raven commented. "He loves her so much, and didn't want her to be unhappy, so he would go get her, now he only gets her if she is really crying" Clarke said. "That kind of love is a good thing" Raven said. "It is, but she also needs to learn how to make herself happy and eventually how to protect herself. Daddy won't always be around when she's going to need him." Raven cocked her head "I suppose that is true" she conceded.
Harper returned a while later, soaking wet, but with a clean Rory. "Did you get any water in the tub?" Clarke laughed. Harper shrugged "Yeah, but the bathroom may never be the same" Harper grinned at her. "Rory likes to play in the bathtub" Clarke took her daughter into her arms "Sorry, I should have warned you." Harper shook her head "It's okay, she had fun. Have a safe trip" she called to them as she walked down the hill to the ball field. "See birth control" Raven laughed. "Yeah, not so much for Harper" Clarke murmured. "Poor Monty" Raven chuckled. "On the bright side, we can keep her busy with our babies" Clarke grinned.
When the game ended Roan and Bellamy charged up the hill. "There are my pretty girls" Bellamy smiled at Clarke and a disgruntled Rory. Now that she was walking, being held in her mother's arms was pure torture for the little girl, but Clarke didn't want her to get dirty. "Dada" she cried, reaching for him. Bellamy chuckled and plucked her from Clarke's grip into his arms. She squealed when he blew raspberries on her tummy. "Is mean old mommy keeping you out of the dirt?" he asked. Clarke glared at him "keeping her clean, daddy" she drawled. "She likes the field" he grinned at her. "She likes the dirt" she countered. "Someday, she'll be a great stickball player" he said "we'll start her young."
Clarke shook her head and turned to Raven "Do you need to get anything from your house?" she asked. Raven looked to Roan, who shook his head "no, ready to get on the road?" she asked. Clarke nodded, then looked to Bellamy "you want to go get Octavia and we'll meet you at the rover?" she asked. She reached for Rory, who shriveled into Bellamy's arms "daddy's girl" he chuckled dropping a kiss on her cheek. Clarke rolled her eyes "someone has to be" she retorted. He laughed and kissed her softly "Tonight she'll be grandma's girl" he whispered into her ear "then you can be my girl." She smiled at him "we'd better hurry then" she replied softly "or I might be too tired." Bellamy glanced over to Raven and Roan "Hey you two, hurry up for tonight we have free babysitting" he told them. "Imagine that, just the two of us, no babies" Roan pinned his gaze on Raven. "sounds like heaven!" she sighed.
Bellamy walked up with Octavia and after a few words with Monty, Harper and Jasper; they loaded up and drove off in the rover.
A few hours later, they arrived at Mount Weather. Surprised to see the lot of them, Abby stopped in her tracks "Everything ok?" she asked looking at all of them. Clarke nodded "Raven and Roan thought they would bring the boys along for a check-up since we were coming anyway." Abby nodded "We can do that, Raven too" she replied. Clarke looked at her "Bellamy would like to have a chat with Kane, assuming he is willing" Clarke told her. Abby glanced at them "Just the two of them?" she asked. "We'd like Clarke to be there too and you of course if you want" he told her. "I'll talk to him" she nodded at them. "We?" Abby questioned. "Octavia is coming in now" he told her. "Oh and we were hoping you would babysit tonight, all three of the kids' maybe…" Clarke grinned at her pleadingly. Abby chuckled "I suppose" she agreed "but if the boys want to eat" she looked at Raven. "A few hours would suit me just fine" she replied. "Speaking of eating" Bellamy looked at her. Abby laughed "What a coincidence, its dinner time" she shook her head.
"Now, for the important part" she eyed them "where is grandma's girl?" In answer to her question, Octavia rounded the corner, following a toddling Rory. Abby grinned "she's walking?" she looked to Clarke. Clarke nodded. Rory chortled when she saw Abby. Squatting down Abby held her arms out and Rory walked into them. "My big girl is walking!" she exclaimed swinging her up into her arms and standing up. "Right, we're going to dinner" Bellamy declared "are you keeping her?" he asked. Still grinning at Rory, Abby laughed "I think daddy is hungry" she cooed. Bellamy nodded in agreement. He nodded. Abby chortled and the group walked toward the dining hall.
