It was already dark outside when he returned back.Octavia's food still stood untouched and she was in her bed with her back turned to Bellamy so he couldn't see her face.He went straight to bed.Hoping that by the morning his anger will wash off.
The next morning he was awaken by a knocking on the door."Coming."he said with his grumpy morning voice.He shot a quick glance at Octavia(who was also awaken by the knocking)as he was getting to the door.When he opened the door he was surprised to find a boy standing there.The boy didn't say anything.Bellamy thought that he was maybe lost and was looking for his parents."Are you lost?" He ask the boy."No,sir.I was told that I could find Oc-...I mean Blodreina here." Why is this boy looking for 'Blodreina' was the first thing that came to his mind."She is in here."Bellamy said as he moved so the boy could enter.As soon as the boy spotted Octavia he ran to her and kneeled down next to her bed.Bellamy closed the door and went to stand next to the boy still not knowing what this child wanted.He couldn't be much older than Madi he thought.He watch as Octavia set up she was about to say something but the boy was faster."Are you dying,O?"He didn't know if he was more surprised by the question or that the boy called her by her old nickname.He barley heard people calling her by her name these days."I'm not dying,Ethan.Who told you that?"
"But I heard Indra telling Miller that you are sick."Octavia gestured for the boy,he now knew was named Ethan, to sit down next to her.Once he did she wrapped one of her arms around the child's shoulder and pulled him closer to her."Yes,that's true"she told him.Bellamy could she the tears forming in the young man's eyes"But I'm not dying.Okay?"Ethan nodded and blinked a few times."Now.You should go because I don't want you getting sick."
"No.I want to stay with you..."The boy started to beg. Bellamy was just standing awkwardly there trying to figure out why did the great 'Red Queen' soften as soon as this boy walked in."Is Indra not taking good care of you?" "She is but...I love you more."Ethan said while his voice cracked a little.Octavia tried to explain to him one more time that she didn't want him getting sick and that he should go."Go on.Bellamy will walk you to the door." Bellamy just nodded when Ethan looked at him."That's Bellamy?"Ethan said and pointed his finger to where Bellamy is. "Yes.Now go."Octavia said in her commander voice,showing to young boy that this is an order now.Ethan gave Bellamy a big smile before he throw his arms around Octavia's neck."Can I come live with you when you get better?" Ethan questioned or more like begged."Of course you can.We are going to tell Miller to prepare you a bed."The boy smiled and placed a kiss to Octavia's cheek."I love you."He said happily and started to walk to the door.Bellamy could swear that he saw a tear escape from Octavia's eyes.Bellamy closed the door behind the boy and turned to Octavia with a questioning look."His mother was executed on the Ark and his father didn't make it to the bunker.Jaha took him in,around a month in a bunker there was an attack.Skikru took the farm and other grounders were angry they attacked the Skikru people who were outside of the farm.Jaha was one of them.He was wounded and he died.Before he died I promised that I will take care of Ethan."Bellamy nodded after Octavia finished."How is he like?"He asked trying to make some kind of conversation with his sister."He is smart and strong but also very emotional.He always tries to find good in people.He can also get very jealous but I think he is learning to deal with it.Gaia is helping him with it."Octavia said loking proud."Well he sounds like a fine boy."The silence was rising again. You could cut the awkwardness in the room with a knife.Octavia was the first one to speak."So...you and Echo...how's that going?"She asked but there was no mocking or bitterness in her voice that left Bellamy surprised and maybe a little bit happy."I think it's going pretty well but we have been together for sometime now so"Octavia nodded forcing a smile,from miles you could see that it was a fake smile.It still hurt her that her brother chose her enemy over her.
