Luna had met them over the other side of the sand dunes under the solar panels. Tents had already been pitched for them as they planned for the next phase of the journey; Crossing the water. Murphy had warned them about the dangers that lurked in the depths but even he couldn't know all the sea's secrets. As it was Luna allowed them to use three of her ships for their crossing but refused to make the trip herself. The words 'suicidal' and 'dangerously idiotic' were mentioned more than once. Lexa had told Clarke that she had known Luna long before the joining of the twelves clans which did explain why she could get away with questioning almost all of Lexa's decisions. Still Clarke could see it was starting to get to the commander and decided to return to the tent and leave the two commanders to sort it out themselves. She was still there preparing her armour which hadn't been worn since the attack on mount weather when Bellamy walked in. He was pale and had a panicked look about him.

"Bellamy?"

He didn't look up but proceeded to lower himself down on to the bed slowly. Clarke frowned and walked over to him, "Bellamy what's wrong?"

"Echo's pregnant"

Her eyes widened and she looked at him confused, "But… What- How?"

"Clarke if you don't know how babies are made by now-"

Clarke rolled her eyes, "I know how babies are made I just meant… How? I mean I knew you two were together but when-?"

"Polis" He said simply, "We slept together in Polis for the first time and then just a few weeks ago but I never thought…"

Bellamy didn't say any more but rather dropped his head into his hands and shook in exasperation. Clarke watched him sympathetically and rubbed his back.

"Don't you want kids?… Don't you love her?"

"It's not that" He mumbled, "We're about to start another war Clarke and Echo's just telling me now that she's pregnant! What if something happens to her? What if something happens to me?"

She nodded and lifted his chin to look him in the eye, "I get it, I do, and I panic everyday that it might be my last with Lexa but… but you can't live like that. I know it's terrifying but what if nothing does happen? What if you both survive this war?"

Bellamy shook his head, "Clarke if we both survive this war then it'll just be another one in a year or two that takes us. Look how quickly this started from the last one. We all thought it would be over after mount weather but it's not… We're in a vicious cycle Clarke and I'm so tired of fighting all the time. I fought for years to keep my sister hidden, it wasn't enough, I fought to get down here to protect her, the grounders came, I fought to protect the 100 and now most of them are dead. When does it end Clarke?"

"Maybe it doesn't end. Maybe Finn was right, maybe this is who we are now, and maybe we just have to adapt to that"

"You can live with it? All the blood on our hands?"

She sniffed and rubbed his back, "No but I can't run from the things I've done and the thing is none of us can. Raven said to Finn that we all have battle scars and you know what? She's right and scars don't ever leave you but it's up to you how you chose to display them. They're either a weakness or strength… This war will end Bellamy, I promise you that"

Bellamy nodded and took a deep breath, "I'm going to be a dad"

Clarke laughed and grimaced slightly, "And Octavia an aunt"

"Octavia and Raven"

They shared a look and burst into laughter, "Oh god. That child has no hope with those two around"

The laughter died down and Bellamy grinned down at her, "You do realise that this means you and Lexa will be aunts as well?"

She faltered and her eyes widened in realisation causing him to laugh again.

"Oh crap I completely forgot…" Clarke looked at him, "Do you think Lexa knows?"

Bellamy shook his head, "Echo was going to tell her now"

XoXoXoX

Echo took a deep breath and watched Lexa walk away from her place next to Luna. It was now or never.

"Lexa"

She looked up and smiled slightly at Echo raising a hand to call her over. She joined Lexa beside the pile of food supplies that were waiting to be loaded on the ship.

"Echo, how can I help?"

Echo took a breath and gripped her sister's arms, "I know that we haven't been back together for long"

"Echo…"

She raised a hand, "I just want you to know how much I love you Lexa"

"And I love you too"

Lexa was watching her with confused eyes not quite understanding where she was going with this. Echo gave her a weak smile and took another shaky breath before blurting it out.

"I'm pregnant"

There was a moment of silence as Lexa continued to stare. She didn't quite react at first but slowly her mouth parted and her eyes darted around Echo's face.

"What?" Her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were flickering in a way that Echo come to understand as confusion. Confusion at her own feelings and not quite knowing how to react to a situation.

"I'm pregnant" Echo breathed eyes wide and pleading with Lexa.

Lexa was still in shock. Pregnant. Pregnant.

Echo was beginning to get really worried when Lexa finally shook herself from her daze and blurted out, "You had sex with Bellamy?"

"Lexa!"

She smiled slightly and Echo shook her head, "That's what bothers you?"

Lexa shook her head and pulled Echo into a hug, "This is good news right?"

"I hope so" Echo laughed.

She pulled back and looked Lexa in the eyes, "When this is all over we'll have a family again"

Echo smiled and watched as Lexa nodded with watery eyes.

Octavia was helping Raven load the radio onto the first ship. They were set to leave any minute and the mechanics work was some of the last parts to be brought up. She let the box drop against the deck just as Raven was walking up holding another.

She was immediately at her side trying to take it from her hands, "Let me take that"

Raven huffed and pulled the box from her outstretched hands, "I told you Octavia, I'm fine… I think I can handle carrying this box"

"Right" Octavia stood to the side and smiled as she placed it down and cracked her back, "Is that the last one?"

"I think so"

She smirked and pulled her close. Raven's arms wrapped around her neck as her hands went to the girls waist and she watched the mechanic bite her lip.

"So we have some time then?" Octavia wiggled her eyebrows causing Raven to snort and shake her head.

"Oh god… You're an idiot"

She leant up to bring their lips together and tightened her hold on the other girl as the hands at her side tightened in the embrace. Their lips moved softly against one another and Raven leant in to deepen the kiss. Octavia smiled against her mouth.

Raven broke the kiss first and Octavia gave her a questioning look. Raven gazed up at her nervously, "I love you Octavia"

"I know" She grinned down at her.

The mechanic shrugged, "I love saying it"

Octavia laughed and closed the gap again. The sound of footsteps caused them to pull away and look over. Bellamy appeared first followed closely by Echo, Abby and Kane. Bellamy smirked and winked at his sister who rolled her eyes.

"Is Clarke not here yet?"

"Lexa and Clarke are overseeing the other ships preparations before boarding" Echo was standing in Bellamy's arms and Octavia frowned. The two were unusually close.

Her brother followed her eyes and sighed knowing he would have to tell her. He looked around at the group and spoke up drawing all their attention, "Echo and I have something to tell you all"

She glanced at him and nodded briefly, "Echo's pregnant"

Raven gasped and lowered her arms to Octavia's waist. Abby smiled and looked at Kane who rolled his eyes but was also grinning at the pair. Bellamy's gaze was on Octavia whose face was scrunched up slightly.

"O?"

"I'm going to be an aunt?"

Echo smiled at her and nodded, "Is that okay?"

Raven was watching her girlfriend carefully but her face was splitting into a huge grin, "Of course it's okay"

She pulled away from Raven and walked over to the two pulling them into a hug instead, "Now it really is a family"

"A dysfunctional family" Raven pointed out.

"Oh yeah" Bellamy laughed.

They were still hugging when Lexa and Clarke finally arrived ready to set sail. Lexa raised an eyebrow but said nothing whereas Clarke was smiling along with everyone else.

"You told her then?"

Octavia leant back and looked between them, "Lexa and Clarke knew?"

"I told Lexa this morning and Bellamy was speaking to Clarke. He was in shock"

Bellamy scratched the back of his head, "Just a little. I'm sorry for not telling you first Octavia"

She waved off his apology, "At least I know now"

The plank was raised as the captain prepared them for setting sail. Abby went off to check the medical supplies with Nyko and Jackson whilst Marcus and Bellamy discussed the route with the captain. Echo and Octavia stood either side of Lexa. They were huddled together over the plans Clarke had drawn out roughly a few days before and Raven was trying to set up the radio and get in touch with Murphy. They had lost contact and it was making Clarke feel nervous.

Clarke turned to where Luna was standing on the shore and waved down at her, "Thank you for everything"

She watched as the grounder raised her hand in goodbye and smiled slightly. Stepping away from the edge Clarke walked over to where Lexa stood and gazed down at the plans.

"Murphy said it wouldn't take long to cross the water"

The commander nodded and Octavia joined in, "Yeah and then we'll find him and get him to explain the whole thing to us fully"

"Hopefully he'll know a way for us to get into that mansion"

"And if he doesn't?"

Clarke shrugged, "We'll find our own way in"

Marcus sidled up to them followed closely by Bellamy.

Lexa pointed to them map where her army was placed, "Marcus will lead the front attack against the mansion to draw its fire and keep all attention to the base"

"Murphy said there are guards around the island-"

"Take the guards out. No doubt there will be more than just guards used to protect the building but we won't know until we get closer" Clarke was slightly alarmed at how comfortable she felt with her stoic expression and war mind in effect.

Lexa carried on, "Clarke and I will lead a small group inside to deal with Jaha and find a way to shut down the mansion"

He nodded, "And who will be in this group"

"Octavia, Echo and Bellamy"

Marcus opened his mouth to say something else but he was suddenly jolted back as they all were. He stumbled slightly and found himself against the floor. Echo yelled out and Bellamy threw himself under her to break her fall and Octavia collided back against Raven causing them both to fall to the floor. Clarke tripped forward but Lexa pulled her against her chest as they fell.

She looked around to see the others on the boat in a similar position. It was only then that she realised what had happened.

"Something hit the boat"

Lexa shot her a fearful look and pulled herself up. She drew her sword and spun around the deck looking to the water for any signs of movement.

"Stay alert" She ordered.

Clarke drew herself up and unsheathed her gun, watching as Octavia, Echo and Bellamy did the same. Abby was looking over form her place at the bow of the boat.

"Clarke be careful!" She nodded and Lexa turned to the captain.

"Stay the course"

He grunted in agreement. Lexa and Clarke walked carefully to the side of the boat.

"We have to protect the ship Clarke"

"I know but how do we fight something we can't see or reach?"

Lexa didn't have a response to that and Clarke groaned. A rippled in the water a few feet from their spot drew her attention and she watched the break in the waves draw closer to their standing position.

"Lexa…"

The grounder followed her eyes and gripped her arm, "Move Clarke"

It was speeding up and nearing their direction, "What?"

Lexa grasped her tighter and yanked their bodies away from the side, "MOVE"

They hit the deck again as a resounding crack echoed from the side they had been standing on. Clarke looked up to see a break running up the side and a building hole where they had been standing previously. She swallowed down the fear and looked to Lexa who was shaking the dizziness from her head having landed awkwardly.

Clarke crawled over to the grounder, "We have a problem"

Echo and Bellamy were breathing heavily and gave her a questioning look to which she turned back to the break, "I don't think this is going to last the whole journey"

"We will have to make it last" Growled Lexa.

"Maybe we could distract it?" Echo suggested.

"How?" Octavia growled, "We can barely see it"

Another thump hit the boat but with less power. Lexa stood up and face everyone, "Everyone with a gun stay on the top deck and keep low everyone else get down to the lower decks now!"

Abby and Jackson complied along with other medics and healers. Soon only Nyko and four other grounders remained along with Monroe and Miller who were following her orders and keeping low. Lexa pulled Clarke into the middle.

"Keep away from the edge"

Clarke nodded. Octavia reappeared next to her having been helping Raven move to the lower levels, "So what's the plan Heda?"

"Keep that thing from destroying anymore of the ship long enough for us to reach the other side"

"What about the other boats?"

Clarke felt her heart stop. They had forgotten about the others.

"Get Raven to see if she can't contact them"

Octavia nodded and a second later she was darting away to tell the mechanic.

"You think it'll work?" Lexa shrugged from her crouched position next to Clarke and grimaced.

"We cannot do much for them Clarke. We have to keep ourselves afloat first"

The boat shook again and Bellamy braced himself against the wooden deck. He raised his gun and raised up slightly to look over the side before ducking back down again.

"We can shoot it when it gets closer. The closer it gets then the better the shot we can get"

Lexa nodded and raised up her bow and arrow looking to Clarke, they shared a look of understanding, and she begrudgingly nodded reassurance to the commander. She called to the other grounders and stepped over to the side drawing an arrow as she did.

Clarke raised her gun and made her way over to the other side with Bellamy and Echo following. They each aimed over and she eyed the dark mass now turning back to face them.

"I see it!"

Lexa looked over her shoulder, "We will get it when it comes through this side. Weaken it your end"

"Stand back Clarke" Bellamy warned.

She moved back in inch and slowed her breathing to calm herself. Aiming the pistol directly at the front of the shape as it came closer.

"Clarke" Bellamy warned.

"I've got this" She snarled back.

He finger tightened on the trigger and she heard the shots fired from next to her. Her finger closer and she released the bullets out.

The mass faded from view and Bellamy let out a cry of joy. She smiled and lowered the gun to her side. Bellamy and Clarke shared a smile. Echo moved away and opened her mouth to call to the commander when a force hit the chip again causing it to topple in the water. It was stronger than before and Echo landed on her back knocking the wind out of her. She cried out in pain and found her vision faded momentarily.

"Bellamy!" Octavia had appeared again. Hearing her terrified voice caused fear to tear through Echo's body.

Ignoring the pain coursing through her head she forced herself to move against the still rocking boat. Looking up she saw Bellamy leaning over the side and horrified to see Clarke wasn't beside him. Rushing over she peered over to see him grasping Clarke's arm. Her terrified face was staring up at them.

"Help" He croaked and she nodded grasping Clarke's other hand.

Together they groaned out as it took their effort to pull the girl back over. Echo fell back and Clarke collapsed into Bellamy's arms shaking. Octavia crouched over them and rubbed Clarke's back reassuringly.

"It's okay. You're okay"

She nodded against his chest. Echo sat there panting for a moment watching the two friends. Clarke pulled back and wiped away the few tears that had appeared on her face momentarily. She looked panicked and whipped her head around.

"Where's Lexa"

Echo's eyes widened and she sat up abruptly turning to the other side of the ship and a horrified expression crossed her face. Lexa and the other five grounders were gone.

"They must have fallen overboard" Bellamy cried. All three of them raced over to look into the water.

Lexa's face was just breaking the surface and she looked panicked. Two other heads were visible including Nyko but the other grounders were nowhere to be seen.

"Lexa!" She looked up at Clarke's voice and kicked closer to the ship.

Echo turned to Bellamy, "We need something to pull them up with"

"Here" They all looked to see Abby and Marcus holding out a rope for them to grasp, "Mum we told you to stay below deck"

"Save Lexa first then have a go at me"

Clarke nodded and took the rope. She leant back over and lowered it down to Lexa. The commander grasped the end and held on to the side to keep her body afloat. She handed the end of the rope to the nearest grounder and nodded for him to climb up.

"I see Land!"

Clarke raised her gaze to where the captain was indicating and sure enough land was there. Relief tore through her but it was replaced a second later when Bellamy cut in.

"Clarke it's back"

Her blood ran cold as the water broke away to reveal the beast moving quickly for the commander and other grounders.

"They don't have enough time" Echo whimpered.

Clarke was frantic now and yelled down at Lexa desperately, "You all have to move now!"

She was looking up at Clarke nodding in understanding. Lexa faced Nyko and told him something who just shook his head and forced Lexa up the rope. She grimaced but climbed up. The first grounder reached the deck and they pulled him over as he spluttered out the water in his lungs. Abby and Marcus pulled him away to check him over and Clarke held out her hand for Lexa.

Nyko was the last to start climbing but the beast was too close and he was too far down. Clarke scrunched her face and tried to lean over further for Lexa who was now reaching for her hand.

Just as she managed to grasp the fingers of the commander the mass charged out of the water its mouth open. Clarke heard a scream from behind her but ignored it and lowered her other hand to pull Lexa up. Bellamy was pointing his gun along with Monroe and Miller. He cried out and open fired as it neared the ship. The beast collided with the side just below where Lexa was hanging. She screamed out and saw Lexa's mouth open in a silent scream and it propelled Clarke to use all her strength to pull the other girl over.

They fell back against the deck with Clarke holding a drenched Lexa tightly against her chest. A fresh wave spread over them as the body of the creature fell back into the water and the boat shook against the force of the collision. Tears were pouring down her face but she ignored them and pressed her lips to Lexa's forehead and tried to ignore her own shaking body.

"N-Nyko" Lexa croaked out.

Clarke looked up to see Bellamy shaking his head solemnly. She gripped the commander tightly, "I'm sorry Lexa…"

The commander didn't say anything but allowed Clarke to hold her and felt the hot tears hitting her own face as they fell from Clarke's cheek, "I'm okay Clarke… I'm okay"

She nodded against Lexa's head but still she didn't let her go. Bellamy was holding Echo in a similar position with Octavia gasping for breath behind them. They were all shaken at the experience and the loss of lives from the grounders. None of them spoke again until they landed gently on the shore.

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH We're on the otherside!

Let me know watcha think ;)
