Clarke's mood improved with Abby's presence, though she still struggled with being bedridden. Rory thrived on the attention she received from having her parents and her grandma in the same place. Rory was sleeping with Abby the morning Clarke woke up with a lot of back pain. Bellamy heard her grunt and sat up "what's wrong?" he asked. "My back" she grunted as another wave of pain hit her. "I'm getting Abby" he said pulling on some pants and walking towards the door as another wave of pain made her gasp. He and Abby returned a few minutes later "whats going on?" Abby asked coming around to Clarke's side of the bed. Clarke winced and clutched her back, she breathed in and out "Go get Jackson and someone to watch Rory" Abby told Bellamy. He hurried out of the room "it's too early" Clarke croaked out between breaths. "Not for multiples" Abby assured her "you're going to be fine, all of you" she assured her daughter. Bellamy returned with Jackson and Olga, who was going to stay with Rory. Abby looked at Jackson, who nodded back at her "I think its time" he told Bellamy and Clarke "We need to get her to med bay in case the babies need special care and to make sure this doesn't happen again" he grinned at Clarke. "Thank you" Clarke breathed through another wave of pain.
Abby helped Clarke to her feet and Jackson came around to the other side of her. Together they walked with her to the wheelchair Jackson had brought with him. Bellamy followed behind looking very nervous. Abby stepped next to him "she's going to be okay" she told him squeezing his hand. "There is a part of me that knows that" he agreed nervously "but…" Abby grinned "no matter how many times a dad goes through this, he never gets less nervous" she grinned. They arrived at med bay and together got Clarke on the table. Abby helped her get undressed, while Bellamy got scrubbed and robed for the delivery. He was shaking so bad that Jackson had to help him "She's going to be fine" Jackson assured him "her and the babies." Bellamy nodded "I know, I hate this part as much as Clarke does I think" he sighed. Jackson laughed "I think she might hate it just a bit more" he said " but nobody really likes this part." Bellamy grinned "you might have a point." Jackson clapped him on the back "come on Bellamy, let's meet your babies."
Clarke was laying on the table wearing a gown and draped by a blanket when Bellamy walked in. "Are you ready for this?" he asked her kissing her forehead. She shook her head, but smiled wanly "do I have a choice?" she asked. "not really" he agreed smiling "but when its over, we'll get to meet our babies he said holding her hand. A contraction took her breath away before she could respond to him. She breathed through it then threw her head back after it passed. "I'm tired Bell" she sighed leaning against him. He crawled behind her on the table wrapped his arms around her. "I hate to tell you babe, but you haven't even hit the hard part yet" he told her. She scowled at him "not helpful" she shot back. "sorry, I will try to be more helpful" he said "you. Do. That." She breathed through a small spasm. Bellamy grinned "I love you" he said kissing the top of her head. Clarke gritted her teeth and exhaled through another contraction. Abby walked into the room and reached under the sheet just as another contraction gripped Clarke's body. Clarke grabbed Bellamy's hand and squeezed it hard. He cringed maybe she did hate this part just a bit more than he did. "Almost there" Abby patted her hand. Clarke sighed and rested her head against Bellamy's chest. He kissed her cheek "just a little bit longer" he whispered in her ear. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. Bellamy thought for a minute she was going to catch a quick nap, but another contraction wracked her body. Abby came back in and checked again "Okay Clarke" she looked up "the next contraction I need you to push" she said. Clarke nodded tiredly. A few minutes later, another contraction rocked her body. Clarke bent her chin to her chest and pushed. Abby counted to ten and Clarke took a breath leaning her head back when it passed. "Come on Clarke" Abby urged. "I'm tired" she sighed. "Hey" Bellamy whispered in her ear "you can do this" he said holding her hand. Clarke lowered her head and groaned through the next contraction "Good Clarke" Abby praised "One more and baby A will be out" she said. Clarke took a deep breath and dropped her chin letting out a guttural cry. She dropped her head back and breathed deeply. Finally a tiny wail split the air and Bellamy breathed a sigh of relief. "Baby A is a little boy" Abby grinned "he is a little small, but as you can tell he has a healthy set of lungs" she told them. Jackson brought the baby around for Clarke and Bellamy to see him before whisking him off to a waiting intern to get the baby cleaned up. Abby looked up at Clarke "Okay baby, two more like that and you're done" she said. Clarke threw her head back and sighed, but before she could do much else a contraction rocked he body.
Thirty minutes and two babies later Clarke lay mildly sedated on the table while Jackson tied her tubes. Bellamy stood in the corner gazing at the two little boys and one little girl in the incubators. They were all very small, but Abby and Jackson gave them a clean bill of health. "Beautiful" Abby stood next to Bellamy "so, daddy are you happy now?" she asked him. He nodded "I can live with two of each" he replied "when can they go home?" he asked. "They need to put on a little weight, but they are breathing on their own, so I'd say maybe two weeks" she told him. He looked over at Clarke "and her?" he asked. "I think she could use about twelve hours of sleep" Abby told him, but aside from that "she could go home in couple of days. Bellamy grinned at her "she did good today" he said. Abby nodded her agreement "she did very good" she agreed "you should tell her that when she wakes up." Bellamy gazed at her "so noted" he smiled and turned his attention back to the babies. "What the heck are we going to do with four kids?" he asked. Abby laughed "Don't look at me" she grinned "that is uncharted territory for me." He turned his head to look at her "Grandma could move closer" he suggested. "Don't tempt me" Abby smiled running a finger down her granddaughter's tummy.
Clarke stirred and called for him from the table across the room. "Hey" he smiled at her "how are you feeling?" he asked. "tired" she sighed sleepily "the babies?" she asked. "Small, but utterly perfect" he said grinning happily. "and baby C?" she asked. "a little boy" he said. She reached for his hand, he took it into his hand "can I sleep now?" she asked. "For as long as you want" he kissed her softly "The babies are in good hands." She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. He smiled down at her "I love you baby" he whispered, covering her with a blanket. Abby watched them and smiled "you did good daddy" she spoke softly from behind him. "I'm going to stay here with her if that's okay?" he looked to her for permission. "Sure" Abby told him "make sure to get some rest, though, three babies are going to be very demanding." He nodded and pulled up a chair next to the table where Clarke lay sleeping. For a while he watched her, then laid his head down on fell asleep next to her.
Clarke opened her eyes a few hours later to see Bellamy slumped over in a chair next to her. She ran her fingers through his hair. He stirred and sat up rolling his head back and forth. "Where are my babies?" she asked sleepily. "over there" he nodded in the direction of the incubators "want to see them?" She nodded. Bellamy stretched and stood up then helped Clarke do the same. Keeping an arm around her waist, he walked with her to the tiny bed the babies slept in. Clarke smiled when she saw them "they're so tiny" she squealed happily. "So what do you think mommy?" he asked. She grinned "they're perfect" she declared. "and Jackson did the surgery, right?" she arched her eyebrows at him. He nodded "no more babies for us, as promised" he answered. "Are you sure you're okay with that?" she asked him. "I have two perfect daughters and two perfect sons, plus their perfect mother" he replied "My life is complete." She sighed and lay her head on his shoulder "I love you Bell" she whispered. "and I love you princess" he returned gazing lovingly into her eyes.
