Bellamy and Clarke walked to their room "did you know O had a list?" he asked her. She shook her head "It was pretty genius though" she chuckled. Bellamy chortled "yes, it was, and now we go home with a second rover and lots of food. "Plus a greenhouse" Clarke added. They reached their room and greeted Rory before she and Octavia went for a walk. They watched as Rory toddled off followed closely by her aunt. "One more night" Clarke sighed. "Uh-huh" Bellamy grunted in agreement kissing the back of her neck as she passed him entering the room. "And she's going to be with grandma tonight" Clarke sighed turning in his arms. "Have I mentioned how much I love having grandma nearby?" he chuckled placing his hands on her waist and pushing back against the wall. "You know grandma wants to move to the settlement, right?" she asked. "Does that mean that grandpa will come too?" he asked. She laughed "They will probably be married soon, so yes, imagine he will be" she sighed "Can you live with that?" He nodded, nipping at her neck "I could get used to it, I suppose" he replied. "You know what else I could get used to?" he whispered against her lips "I think I can guess" she returned capturing his lips with hers.
He wrapped his arms around her and walked her backwards to the bed. When the back of her knees hit the bed, he caught her before she fell and gently lowered her to the bed and followed her down.
When Octavia walked back to Abby and Kane's suite to drop off Rory, Kane answered the door. "Abby had to step out, but she'll be right back" he told her "if you want to wait." Octavia shook her head "I think you can handle her, but I'll warn you she is ready for dinner" she told him. He looked at Octavia, who had yet to meet his gaze "have you eaten?" he asked her "We could go together." She shook her head "I'm good thanks" she told him "have fun with Rory" she told him before turning away. Kane watched her walk away, a look of sadness on his face. He knew it would take time for Octavia to accept him, he just hoped he could be patient and wait for her to be ready. Abby walked in a few minutes later "sorry, I meant to be here when Octavia got back" she said when she saw Rory playing on the floor. "Was it bad?" she asked He shrugged "she didn't say too much, just that Rory was ready for dinner." Abby put a hand on his shoulder "Give her time" she sighed "Octavia is far better at holding a grudge than Bellamy" she told him. He nodded. Hearing Abby's voice Rory stood up and walked over to her. "Mama Mama" she stopped in front of Abby, holding her hands in the air. "Grandma's going to miss you" she smiled picking Rory up. Rory stuck her finger in her mouth "Apparently, someone is hungry" she chuckled "shall we go to dinner now?" Abby asked Kane. He looked defeated "Hey" she touched his shoulder "its going to be okay. The kids will come around" she told him planting a soft kiss on his cheek. "I know" he sighed "I guess I kind of hoped for more" he said. "They're Blake's and according to Clarke, Blake children are very stubborn" she told him. "It takes a lot to break them, give both of them some time. In the meantime, we have a beautiful little girl to play with, one who is very hungry" she added as Rory sucked on her fingers. Kane flashed her a half-smile and nodded wanly and followed her and Rory out of the suite.
Clarke and Raven spent the morning getting the kids ready for the four hour trip back to the settlement and cleaning up their rooms. They'd stashed many of the things they'd brought with them on their rooms so the next trip wouldn't be so cargo heavy. "So, how did it go yesterday?" Raven asked her. "Okay, I guess. I mean Bellamy didn't flatten Kane, so…" she drawled off grinning. She also told her about Octavia's list, "She had a list?" Raven cackled "That's funny." Clarke nodded, laughing too. "And we got most of everything on it, too" she added. They watched Theo and Jacob play on the floor with Rory Lording over them like a big sister. Clarke laughed "She's just like her dad" she chortled. Roan, Bellamy and Octavia entered the room "Are you two ready to get some breakfast before we hit the road?" Bellamy asked. At the sound of her daddy's voice Rory turned and toddled over to him, her hands in the air. He grinned as he bent down to pick her up "Of course you're hungry" he cooed at her. Clarke looked at Raven "See, daddy's girl" she rolled her eyes. Raven laughed, Bellamy cocked his head at them "what's so funny?" he asked. Clarke just shook her head "We were talking about how your little mini-me is going to be just like you" Raven snorted. "Damn straight" he declared proudly, kissing her on the cheek. Roan bent down and picked up Theo, while Raven grabbed Jacob, and the seven of them headed off to the dining hall for some breakfast.
Abby and Kane were already there talking when the group entered the hall. The group sat down at the table with them, though Octavia took the seat at the farthest end of the table away from her father. She was still not ready to be the dutiful daughter. Bellamy looked at her and shook his head. She stuck her tongue out at him. Clarke just laughed, anybody that saw the two of them would have no doubt they were siblings. They shared the same black hair and dark eyes and they treated each other as a sibling would. "We're going to leave some of the kid's stuff in the rooms if that's okay" Clarke told Abby. "That's fine" Abby nodded, nobody used those rooms when the kids weren't here anyway. "Do you need anything else?" Abby asked them. They all looked at each other "I think we're good for now" Bellamy answered for them all. "Thanks for the extra rover, now I can teach Roan how to drive" he chuckled. "Give me a horse any day" Roan retorted, "self-powered, doesn't require a battery…" he drawled off. Raven shook her head "Takes forever to get anywhere" she threw in. "There are things you can do on the back of a horse that are quite fun" he told her. She grinned "I didn't say I didn't like them" Raven replied "but Rovers are nice too." Octavia, who had been mostly quiet looked down the table "I would love to have a horse, but we don't have anywhere to keep them" she sighed.
Kane looked down the table at her. She did not meet his gaze, but he saw her profile. Her face was fuller. That was the baby he supposed, and her stomach was getting rounder as her pregnancy progressed. He hoped she would allow him to be a grandparent to her child, but he knew he had to give her some time. Perhaps, a horse and a stable would help him with that cause. "You can't buy her love" Abby whispered in his ear as if she had been reading his thoughts, "besides she shouldn't be on a horse when she is pregnant, anyway." Kane squeezed her hand below the table "I know" he replied "but a stable wouldn't be that hard to build, and they could use some horses." While the mountain wasn't filled with horses, they did have a few they kept in the basement. The elevator shafts had long been destroyed by the bomb, but the earthborn people who sheltered there had been quite busy making passages and even homes in the rubble. They were used to living off the land and they proved it by doing so again. It impressed Kane and many of the others who fell from the sky so much, they'd asked to be taught how to do some of the things. Perhaps, he would have a talk with them to see how he could acquire a couple of horses for the settlement.
Clearly done with her breakfast, and sitting still Rory fussed in Bellamy's lap, "We probably need to get on the road soon" he said standing up and handing Rory to Clarke. "Roan and I will pack the rovers up and we'll meet you outside" he nodded to all of them. "Okay, we'll be right there" she replied catching his hand. He squeezed her hand gently, and then headed off with Roan. "If you girls need anything for yourselves or the babies let us know" Abby told them. Clarke looked at Octavia and Raven, and then nodded back at Abby. "Octavia, you are welcome to give birth to your baby here if you want to be close to Bellamy when you go into labor" Abby told her. Octavia smiled at her "Thanks, I'll think about it" she smiled gratefully at her. She actually hadn't thought about it, but Bell would be here with Clarke when she went into labor. As much as she wanted to be near Bellamy when her baby was born, she wasn't sure it would be worth being that close to Kane.
"Ready to go?" Bellamy appeared in the hall. Clarke nodded and handed Rory to him before standing up. Bellamy walked over to Abby "Tell Grandma goodbye" he said to Rory, who reached down for her grandmother. Abby took Rory into her arms "Bye baby girl, grandma's going to miss you" she sighed. Rory snuggled against her then reached for Kane. He grinned taking her into his arms. "Bye sweetheart" he said "be a good girl for mommy and daddy" he told her before handing her back to Bellamy. Octavia watched the exchange silently. Kane would be a good grandfather she supposed, but it was going to take some time to process what she had learned the last couple of days. "Bye Abby" Raven hugged her "thanks for letting us crash and for babysitting" she smiled at her. "Yes, thank you" Roan shot her a grateful glance. Octavia followed Bellamy toward the door without saying anything, but she did nod at Abby and Kane. "Bye mom" Clarke walked over to her "You take care of yourself" Abby told her. Clarke rolled her eyes in Bellamy's direction "like he would have it any other way" she chortled. "Good for him" she nodded "I love you Clarke" Abby told her. "I love you too" Clarke told her "I'll see you in a couple of months" she said walking out of the room with the others. Abby looked at Kane and took his hand in hers "she'll come around" she said noting the sad look on his face, just give her some time." He nodded "let's hope" he sighed. Abby grinned at him "She will, Clarke eventually came around. You just have to let them process things. They need time alone for that." Handing Rory off to Clarke, Bellamy wrapped his arm around Octavia's shoulder "Are you okay?" he asked her. She nodded silently "I will be" she replied laying her head on his shoulder. "He may have been a terrible dad, but he's a good grandpa" he whispered into her hair "keep that in mind."
