To be honest I was redoing this few times. I'm sad that at the final version isn't bonfire party (in first version was bonfire and it was awesome) but it was just weird with Lexa being there and everyone was ok with it…
I love all of your comments. It always reminds me of something I forgot to write into story (I totally forgot about Octavia's knowledge of Lincoln's death) – so thanks to all of you, it's your work as well. =)
Thank you all for favorites and follows as well – every one of them make my day. 100+ followers - I love you people. :D
And as always kudos to my awesome beta mini .moogle5 =)
Anyway keep it coming because I have really bad memory (So I really need your reviews) and any feedback is awesome. :D

They were slowly making their way through the corridors once again with their guards. "How did they found out that we are lovers?"
"Thanks to this ring. In Skaikru traditions, having a ring on specific finger means you are united or preparing to be. So others know you are taken." Clarke smiled at Lexa's nodding.
"So, I can kiss you. They all know it anyway." Clarke shook her head.
"They don't know that I'm yours, they just know that I belong to someone." Lexa saddened at that. She wanted everyone to know that Clarke was hers. Maybe except for the Ice Queen. Definitely except for the Ice Queen.
Clarke noticed Lexa's sad look. She squeezed other girl's hand to get her attention again. "But I don't mind if you kiss me." She smiled at brunette next to her and kissed her on the cheek. Both girls could hear Bellamy growling at that action behind them. Neither of them acknowledge him.
After a few moments, they were at the front gate. Clarke turned to the boys. "We'll be right back."
Before Clarke could move an inch, Miller talked. "We have to go with you everywhere and that means…well, everywhere." Clarke rolled her eyes.
They make their ways to the grounders that were waiting outside and preparing their own camp.
"We'll be staying inside until Council decides what they want to do." Clarke started talking to their grounder guards.
"But we know they allied with someone and according to what my new guard said to us, it's definitely Azgeda." Lexa cannot said Octavia's name because Bellamy and Miller were standing right behind her and they would definitely understand that word. Bellamy might know that Octavia is alive but there is no need for others to know as well. "Send someone to inform Indra." Anya nodded and started yelling orders.
When they got back to camp, Clarke saw her mother waiting for them. "Here comes troubles."
"Commander, I would like to talk with Clarke." It came out as question. Clarke rolled her eyes.
"She is not my prisoner. It's her free will if she want to talk with you." Clarke giggled at that.
"I wanted to talk with you anyway. But Lexa will be with us." Clarke looked around. "And I would like to talk somewhere private. If you don't mind."
Abby nodded and lead them to her private quarters. They walked all way in silence.
They went inside of Abby quarters while Miller and Bellamy waited outside.
"So what did you wanted to tell me that the Commander need to be here also? Get this over with so we can talk alone." It wasn't a secret that Abby never liked Lexa.
Clarke sighed. She knew her mom was stubborn and this made it harder to say what she wanted to. "She will be here with me the whole time so you just have to put up with it."
"Why should she be here? The guards will take care of her, you don't need to worry." Abby knew how unpopular the Commander was in camp and even she didn't believe that no one would try to kill her at least once.
"No. She is here because I asked her to be." Lexa straightened and moved closer to Clarke.
Abby noticed that and looked suspiciously at her daughter. "Clarke?"
Clarke took Lexa's hand and intertwined their fingers. "I'm in love with Lexa and yesterday she asked me to be her wife." She paused for Abby to process what she said. "And I said yes."
Clarke could see plenty of emotions changing on her mother's face from confusion through to anger and then disbelieve.
"No, no, no, no. You will not be marrying her!" Clarke clenched her free fist.
"I don't believe it's your decision to make." Lexa coldly looked at Abby.
"She is my daughter and she will not be marrying some savage." Right after she ended that sentence, Clarke slapped her.
"How dare you? You don't know her. She is not a savage. You killed your own husband. She would never do something like that. I know that she left us to our death in front of Mount Weather, but she did it for her people. If she had stayed, all of her people inside of the mountain would be dead the moment she would have say 'no' to the deal." Clarke yelled at her.
Abby was soothing her now slowly reddening cheek. She couldn't believe that her daughter just slap her, but what was worse was that she really believed the Commander. "She said this to you, didn't she? How can you believe her?"
Lexa had enough. How dare this woman question her love for Clarke? "I would never hurt Clarke. I did left her at the mountain I cannot deny that, but it will never happen again. I have a duty to protect my people and she is one of my people now."
Lexa took Clarke's hand and kissed the back of it. Clarke smiled at her.
But Abby just ignored Lexa and spoke to Clarke. "You really believe that, Clarke? She is a chronic liar. She will use you and then leave you." Clarke released Lexa's hand.
Clarke cannot take it anymore. She put her head into her hands and started crying. How can her mother be so cold hearted? What has she done to her that she has to be like that?
Lexa was beyond pissed now. Anyone who makes Clarke cry will pay with their life, mother or no mother. She reached for her sword but then she remembered that it wasn't there.
Clarke saw that and knew that Lexa left one dagger in her boot. So before Lexa could reach it, she wrapped her arms around Lexa and buried her face in the crook of Lexa's neck. Luckily it did the job and Lexa forget about killing the older woman. She wrapped her hands around Clarke and kissed the top of her lover's head.
Abby was pissed by this and practically ran out of room.
"I will not leave you, Clarke. You know that, right?" Everything Lexa said was true, she just hoped that Clarke knew that.
"I know. I'm just sad she doesn't trust me." When Lexa held her she felt safe. Thanks to that, Clarke slowly stopped crying.
They stayed like that for a moment before they separated. "We should go before the boys come in here." Lexa nodded. She took Clarke's hand and kissed the back of it.
They went outside of the room and no one was waiting there. Clarke frowned. "Where are they?"
Lexa shrugged to that question. "Chancellor probably sent them away. Good for us. They were annoying."
It was dark when they get out of the Ark. They decided to sit far away from all people. Lexa leaned against the Ark and Clarke leaned against Lexa.
"You should go to that party your friends organized." Clarke just shook her head at Lexa's offer. "I can survive without you for few hours." Lexa didn't want to keep Clarke from talking with her friends.
Clarke shook her head again and looked at Lexa. "I thought we agreed that life should be about more than just surviving." Lexa smiled at the memory of this line and what happened after that. She wasn't thinking in moment she first kissed Clarke and she was happy for that now.
Lexa wrapped her arms around Clarke to keep her close. The blonde girl turned to her and kissed her on cheek. "I'm still surprised that you kissed me that day." Clarke bend her head backwards to Lexa's shoulder.
Lexa kissed Clarke's forehead and murmured. "So am I."
The next day, they were summoned to the council room to hear how the voting ended.
Before they got there, Lexa saw Abby at the medical bay preparing to go to the meeting. She decided to go see her. Clarke was confused by what Lexa was doing and when she saw who is in medical, she started slightly panicking.
Lexa cleared her throat to get Abby's attention. Abby turn around and was surprised to see the Commander standing in front of her.
Clarke caught up with her right when Lexa started talking. "I don't care if you like me or not, but I care about Clarke. With this attitude, you're not hurting me but her and I don't want to see her hurt. You don't need to trust me. All you need to do is to trust your daughter. She knows what she's doing and she proven that many times. No one can push her into something she don't want and anyone who tries that is a madman." With that she turned around, took Clarke's hand and they both get away from medical. Abby just looked after them with her mouth agape.
Clarke stopped Lexa in middle of corridor and turned to her so they were face to face "Thanks. What you..." Clarke had problems finding the right words. "…What you said, that means a lot to me."
Lexa looked into her eyes and nodded. "I was just saying the truth."
Clarke smiled. "But you didn't need to and that's what makes it different."
They were looking at each other and smiling for a while before Bellamy cleared his throat and they snapped from their gaze. "We should go." They both nodded and followed him.
When they got inside, Abby was already there. She made eye contact with Clarke. It almost look like she was apologizing.
Then she stood up and started talking. "The council has talked and voted about your offer and decided that we don't want to join your Coalition."
Clarke sighed she knew it would end like that. At least they have the information they came here for.
"Now please leave our camp." This time it was Kane who talked.
Lexa nodded to that and left the room with Clarke right behind her.
Before they could talk about what happened in the council room, Abby caught up with them.
"Clarke, honey, I'm sorry for how I was acting. It was…" she was looking for right words. "It was wrong of me. I wasn't thinking about how you feel. And if being with the Commander is what makes you happy, so be it."
Clarke still didn't look at her mother. "Her name is Lexa."
Abby was genuinely confused. "What?"
"Your soon to be daughter-in-law has a name. And that name is Lexa." Abby looked at Lexa and nodded. "Lexa." Clarke looked at her mother and smiled. "Thanks."
She wrapped her arms around Abby and hugged her. "I hope I'm invited to the wedding."
Clarke smiled at that. "Of course you are. We just don't have date yet, so…"
When Lexa saw that Clarke didn't know how to continue she started talking. "When we pick one, I will send a messenger to get you."
Abby smiled at that and all of them make their way to the gate. Clarke and Abby hugged and said their goodbyes.
When Lexa and Clarke were outside of camp, they saw the hunting party and Jasper coming their way.
Jasper whispered something to one of other hunters and made his way to Clarke, Lexa and the other Grounders.
When he was in front of Clarke, he pulled his gun and aimed it at her. Lexa was at Clarke's side instantly with her sword in hand. "Move and I shoot her." All Grounders drew their swords but stayed where they were.
"Jasper you don't need to do this, I understand that you hate me, but killing me doesn't make it better." Clarke knew that from her personal experience. After the bombing of TonDC, she killed the sniper who was killing survivors in the village. It didn't help the pain. Even when she killed guards in Mount Weather or Dante, she didn't felt better.
"Maybe not." He was slowly putting the gun down. "But you will feel the same pain as me when I kill her." He pulled his gun back up and aimed it at Lexa.
For Clarke everything impossibly slowed in that moment. She unsheathed her sword and took it with both of her hands, swung it and beheaded Jasper. But before she separated his head from his body, he fired from his gun.
I like how many of you tried to guess what would happen…and then I just came here and beheaded Jasper… *evil laugh* :D
Anyway let me know what you think and have a nice day =)
