Another Time, Another Place

To Arkadia

Clarke was up early the next morning, excited to carry out their plans. She had packed for all of them, before the sun came up.

Clarke climbed back in bed and kissed Lexa awake, peppering kisses all over her face.

"Good morning, my beautiful wife, I am excited to add to our family today." Clarke smiled at Lexa, " I love you so much, Lex."

"You and our son, Clarke, are my whole world and I can't wait to add to our family, I love you more than I ever thought possible." Lexa said looking at Clarke, with absolute adoration.

The two were still cuddling and kissing in bed, basking in their love for each other, when there was a knock on the door. Lexa quickly got up and dressed and opened the door.

"Mummy!" Caspian squealed, hugging Lexa, before running into the room, to jump on their bed and cuddle Clarke, "Mumma." He smiled cuddling up against Clarke, while she stroked his hair.

"Good morning, Lex," Raven said, "Get up lazy bones." Raven said jumping on the bed, beside Caspian and Clarke.

"Good morning, Lex, Good morning, Clarke," Octavia said.

"I have been up since before the sun, I already packed all our clothes." Clarke said as Octavia sat on the end of their bed and Lexa shooed Raven out of her spot. "Good morning to you both, by the way."

"Packed your clothes, are we going somewhere, do I need to go pack?" Octavia said.

Lexa nodded.

"Caspian, can you get your toy bag and pack a few toys, to take to see grandma's, we are going to visit her today." Clarke said and waited for Caspian to leave the room. "Lex and I are going to try for a baby, using mum's new method and yes please pack, you will be needed. You are welcome to come as well, Ray."

"O, oh my god, it's meant to be." Raven said excited.

"Do you want to? Are you sure?" Octavia said.

Raven just nodded very emotional, eyes glazing over with happy tears. Octavia held her wife close, kissing her on top of head.

"What's meant to be?" Clarke said hoping what she suspected they were talking about, was true.

"We want a baby too." Octavia said, "we might as well try at the same time, our kid will have a cousin the same age, twins from different parents." Octavia joked.

"I'm so excited for you guys," Clarke said. "You will make great parents."

"Having a child is hard work," Lexa said, "but so rewarding. We can have Octavia's old room made into children's rooms. I will have the builders start work immediately. And set it up like our children's rooms. Clarke will probably want to paint them for you." Clarke had painted the bedrooms, of their children's rooms, with tranquil forrest scenes and a stary night sky on the ceiling, the play room was filled with bright colours and animals.

Lexa got up and went to talk to the guards at the door, she asked them to prepare for their trip, prepare their horses including Octavia's seconds Quinn and Arias horses, breakfast to be sent up and send for the builders. She walked back to the other 3 women, who were all smirking at her.

"Lex, they won't need the babies room for 9 months at least, but it is so adorable that you are so excited for them. I love you baby." Clarke said.

"It doesn't hurt to be prepared, Clarke," Lexa said with a huff. "Besides you will want to paint it and I don't want you painting it, when our child is close to arriving. I love you too."

"We wouldn't let her paint when she is close to her due date, don't worry Lex," Raven said.

"Do you even know your sister, Raven." Lex said, "I am the commander of 13 clans and she doesn't do what I tell her to do and you expect her to obey you. My wife does what she wants, when she wants and quite often gets herself in trouble for it. Why do you think I have Octavia babysit her, even when there is no threat. Oops, not babysit, I meant guard." Lexa looked at Clarke and realized she was in a little trouble, " I love you baby, you are so perfect for me and I love your willful behaviour, when you stay safe."
