Chapter Fifteen – Never Forget
"Hey you." Clarke smiled as she laid flowers next to Wells' headstone, she placed her jacket on the floor and sat down.
"You better not be having too much fun up there because in seventy or more years I'm going to be up there too and there better be a party waiting for me." She laughed.
It had been almost two years since Wells had died and although it had gotten easier to cope, Clarke still missed him every day and went to his grave as often as possible. She sat there and looked around, at all the graves with flowers similar to hers and those that didn't; Clarke smiled softly at the elderly man staring down at a grave, she wondered if he had any family left or if the person in the ground was his only family.
"I visit Sasha too, you know. The letter she gave me made me realise some things, things that you'd been telling me all along. You're probably rolling your eyes at me now, I know, I just needed some time to get there." Clarke glanced down at the rings on her finger and smiled.
When Clarke and Bellamy got to Vegas, they had already decided to get married back home, Clarke always uses the reason that Bellamy was too scared to go against her Dad, but the truth was that she wanted all the people who had rooted for them surrounding them when they said 'I do'. Octavia had been waiting at Clarke's house when they finally got back, her attempt at pretending to be angry at them didn't last long as when she saw the engagement ring on Clarke's finger she screamed with excitement. Less than six months later Bellamy and Clarke finally said "I do", Jake had walked her down the aisle whilst her mother sat on the front row, tears in her eyes.
"The only thing that would've made it perfect was if you could've been there. Don't get me wrong Wells it was amazing, but I wish you could've been there." She smiled softly. Her phone buzzed in her pocket, Clarke couldn't help but squeal excitedly as she read the message.
"I have to go, but I'll be back soon. May we meet again, Wells Jaha."
Twenty Minutes Later
"I'm here, I'm here. How's she doing?" Clarke asked breathlessly, before anyone could answer, a scream came from inside the room.
"Bellamy, where the hell is your wife?" Clarke squirmed and smiled at all her friends, bracing herself as she entered the room. Octavia had announced that she was pregnant two months after Clarke and Bellamy had returned from their honeymoon and she had decided that Clarke was going to be her birthing partner.
"It's ok, I'm here." Bellamy sighed with relief and quickly pecked Clarke on the forehead before briskly walking out of the room.
"Good luck to you Clarke, Bellamy couldn't wait to get out of here so fucks knows what he'll be like with you." Octavia grabbed Clarke's hand and squeezed it so hard she thought it would break.
"Alright, deep breaths, it'll be over before you know it." The glare she received from Octavia was confirmation that she really wasn't the best at pep talks.
Bellamy ran a hand over his face as he left the room, a sigh of relief escaping his mouth, he didn't know whether it was due to seeing his sister in pain or the fact that his wife had finally arrived to take over the hand crushing duty. He looked around at his friends outside and couldn't help but smile, after everything that had happened in the past few years, it had made him extremely grateful for the second family that he had created.
Jake – 15:34
Are you an uncle yet?
Bellamy – 16:23
Sorry for the slow reply, O had a death grip on my hand, we're getting there, no nephew yet
Jake – 16:25
Keep me informed and send Octavia and Lincoln my love
Jake – 16:25
Oh and you better prepare yourself in case it's a niece, girls are far more trouble in my experience ;)
Jake – 16:25
Did I use that emoji right?
Bellamy – 16:27
I'll let you know when he's here, I don't think I could cope with another girl, nor could Lincoln and yes you did, I'm proud
Jake – 16:28
:)
"How's she doing?" Raven asked nervously.
"She's doing great, I can no longer feel my hand." The group laughed and Bellamy couldn't help but smile, he was finally becoming an uncle and he had his amazing wife by his side every step of the way.
"It'll be you and Clarke before you know it." Bellamy smiled once again.
After he and Clarke had returned from Vegas their friends had been so excited for them, not only that the pair had finally come to their senses but that Clarke was on her way to becoming the Clarke they knew before the accident. Bellamy never pushed Clarke to speak about what happened, he didn't want to push her further away, eventually she opened up to him and their friends and they supported her through the dark days and laughed with her during the good days. He knew that she visited both Wells' and Sasha's graves as often as she could, he'd been with her a few times near the anniversaries but she always preferred to go by herself, she felt as though she could say what she felt without worrying about her husband getting upset for her. Bellamy heard a large scream coming from Octavia's room and a buzzer signifying the need for assistance; he watched as two nurses entered the room.
"Hey, she'll be fine." Jasper spoke softly, the others nodded in agreement. He heard someone running down the corridor and saw his brother in law frantically searching for his wife's room.
"Lincoln, she's in here." He smiled and thanked God that he had finally made it.
"Is she ok? She's going to kill me. Please tell me Clarke's in with her?" Bellamy smiled. Even though he hadn't gotten along with Lincoln at the beginning, he knew that he truly loved his sister and that was all he asked for.
"She's fine, Clarke's there, but I'm still going to wish you good luck." The men nervously smiled at each other as Octavia's husband finally entered the room.
Three Hours Later
"Bellamy, at some point you're going to have to let her go at some point." Bellamy took his eyes away from his new born niece for the first time in minutes.
"God, she's going to be so spoilt, anything you need O, she'll have it." His sister laughed.
The eldest Blake finally handed back his niece to his parents and kissed both girls goodbye; he walked out of the hospital hand in hand with his wife and couldn't stop smiling. When they finally settled into bed that night, he couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to have his own children with his beautiful wife.
"Let me guess, you're too excited to sleep." Clarke chuckled as she sunk into bed and snuggled into her husband's chest.
"She's just so adorable Clarke, seriously, I've never seen anything so cute."
"Give it nine months." He takes far too long to realise what his wife was implying. He rolled on top of her, his grin reaching both of his ears.
"You're pregnant?" Clarke laughed and pulled him closer.
"We're going to be parents." She grinned.
After everything she'd been through, Clarke was finally getting her happy ending and she knew that she never would be along again.
