4 Days Earlier
Lexa woke up around midday, her body felt satiated but sore. She didn't want to get out of bed but then the smell of tea was in the air. As she turned around, on the bedside table was a cup of warm tea. She smiled and picked it up. When she drank it, she realized it wasn't any tea, it was the tea they used to prevent pregnancy. The tea was a mixture of specially selected herbs infused with spices that needed to be drunk every six hours for five days religiously in order to become truly effective. It should be drunk only when the person no longer engages in penetrative sex, so she took a small sip. It didn't have a nice taste, in fact it tasted bitter and left a burning sensation after. She looked at it and for a minute began seriously contemplating if she should or not. It's true that Octavia had knotted her three times and more than likely she could become pregnant but she also knew that fertilization doesn't occur immediately, so technically she had some time before she could become pregnant. So deep in thought she was that she didn't hear soft footsteps entering her room.
Ava stood by the door and observed silently as she watched her pup staring at the tea. "Thinking whether or not to take it?" Ava asked. Lexa jumped and squealed a little, spilling some of the liquid on the floor.
"Nomon! I didn't hear you, I'm sorry," she said but didn't meet her mother's gaze as she began to look for something to clean the mess.
"It's okay, yongon. I'll clean it up," Ava said, leaving and heading towards the kitchen to get a cleaning cloth. When Ava returned, Lexa wasn't in the room.
She then heard water coming from the bathroom and sighed. She saw Lexa's reaction and that worried her. She didn't want Lexa to think that she was mad at her; it wasn't that. The truth was, she was debating with herself whether or not she should tell Lexa that Octavia already had a mate.
While taking her bath, Lexa wondered if her mother had already told her father what had happened, not that she was afraid or anything, she knew her parents wouldn't tell her anything but advise her to be "safe" in terms of becoming pregnant after all, she was the Future Luna. It wasn't strange for an omega or beta to seek "help" during their heats. In fact, it was encouraged just as long as both parties understood that it was simply for the time being. After her bath, Lexa dried herself and put on comfortable clothes; a short sleeved cotton shirt with a black pants and walked out as best she could. She didn't want to limp in front of her mother since she knew her mother would be waiting for her. She then took the towel and wrapped it around her hair to help it dry and walked out to the kitchen where she found her mother with a cup of tea waiting for her.
Ava placed it in the middle of the table and motioned for Lexa to sit.
"Nomon -," Lexa began before her mother raised her hand to stop her.
"My precious girl, you know that I will not interfere in your life and the choices you make however, that doesn't mean I will not worry and try my best to be a good mother to you ," Ava said. " The minute I entered your room I smelt her. If that wasn't enough, I saw you cradling her shirt to your chest. I don't need any explanations and I know you're not going to give me any. All I am asking of you Lexa is to be "safe" and think about what this means to you," Ava added in a warm tone.
At this point she still hadn't made a decision whether to tell her pup the truth about Octavia. Part of her wanted Lexa to be happy; to find love again, but part of her wondered if Octavia was the person to do that. Would she make her child happy or break her heart? What about Octavia's other mate? Would she be alright having to share Octavia's love and affection with someone else? Would Lexa even accept being in a relationship with two people? So many questions and no answers, Ava thought to herself.
