Chapter 40: We Are Reapers

A/N: Words in bold are spoken in Trigedasleng.

Lexa and Clarke have had a productive morning so far. Lexa divided her paperwork in half. "Niron, we have to look at each page and select foods based on the healer's recommendation. When that is finished, we have to look at this other pile of papers. This is the trader's list. This is basically a list of what they're hoping to trade for the week. The list is divided by packs. For example, this is Trishana Pack or The Glowing Forest Pack and the other list is from Louwoda Kilron Pack or The Shallow Valley Pack," Lexa explains and Clarke nods so they get to work.

Clarke looks at the list for an elderly pack member by the name of Glenda Carter. In the description, it states that Glenda is 70 years of age. She has trouble breathing and oftentimes, she has a fast heartbeat. Clarke goes into doctor mode and believes that what Glenda has is some sort of pulmonary disease, perhaps asthma, pneumonia or even simple allergies. She looks at the healer's recommendation. It states that Glenda should consume foods that are high in Vitamin C and omega-3 oils so Clarke writes down oranges, lemons, fish, honey and other items. The oranges and lemons are a good source of vitamin C that will boost Glenda's immune system. The omega-3 oils in the fish should improve lung function. She adds on the paper breathing exercise so Glenda's lungs can become a little bit stronger and warm steam baths although she knows that on the Ark there are inhalers that would significantly improve Glenda's lungs dramatically. She hands the paper to her omega to check and Lexa reads. She looks at Clarke and smiles.

"You added breathing exercises and stream baths. What will that do?" the future Luna asks and her mate responds, "The breathing exercise will strengthen her lungs a little more and the steam bath will help her relax. If she begins to stress out, then her heartbeat will increase and her breathing can become erratic thus causing her to feel dizzy or even pass out."

"Doctor mode, as your sister calls it," Lexa remarks pensively and Clarke chuckles.

"Yeah," she answers and Lexa gets closer to her and gives her omega a sweet and tender kiss, twirling her tongue inside Clarke's mouth and hears as the blonde omega moans out.

"If you continue, work will never finish and you know it," Clarke says huskily and hears Lexa whine out.

"Fine," the omega grumbles out and sets the paper on the completed section. They continue working while the twins study. When the twins are done for the day, Lexa tells them to go and play in the backyard. They scamper off before she could tell them to be careful.

Around 2 p.m. the Alpha, Luna and the rest arrive. Lexa, Clarke and Anya open the front door to meet them. Anya looks around but doesn't see her alpha or beta; as does Lexa and Clarke look for their alpha but she's not there.

"Nomon, where are my mates?" Anya asks, looking at the party.

"Stayed back at the Ark, same as Octavia, Raven and Ash," Ava answers.

"Why?" Lexa asks, puzzled and Finn explains.

"Dammit! I should've been there!" Clarke whines and Lexa nods. Ava states, "If you two hadn't overslept..." and the look that passes between the three omegas makes Clarke wish the Earth would swallow her whole. Perceptive as always, Anya begins to laugh and Lexa rolls her eyes at her sister but just like Clarke, the thought of her mother seeing them, makes Lexa wish she never asked why in the first place.

Ontari and her mates go to pack house since the Pureblood hasn't slept and needs to rest. After an awkward moment, Lexa informs her mother of her and Clarke's completed work and Ava says, "Okay, my darling. I'll look at it later, I want to see my boys."
