Lexa came to check on Sage and Fisher who was helping Jackson in medbay. She was visiting her before she, Madi, and TJ had to go see Octavia.

"How's it going?" Lexa asked.

"Fine." Sage sighed. She looked over at Fisher. "I think he's throwing himself into work so he doesn't have to deal with his dad."

Lexa kissed Sage's forehead. "He's lucky to have you."

Sage smiled. "I'm lucky to have had him. He kept me company before I had T. He helped me raise my son. I honestly don't think I would have made it without that sweet boy."

"I really hate to leave you, but I have to met with Octavia. I'm pretty sure she's worried that I will pose a threat to her reign of terror." Lexa grabbed T and Madi. "Love you."

"Love you." Sage's smile grew wider. She knelt down in front of her son and Madi. "Have as much fun as you can with Octavia." She hugged the 2 kids.

Lexa and them walked off. But before she left TJ spilt some juice so she had to clean it. She heard a conversation between Jackson and Killer before she could leave.

"Nate, I understand you want a kid, now. But you know that to have a biological kid, it would need a mom to carry it." Jackson explained.

"I get that. You said you want a kid too." Miller put his hands on Jackson's shoulders. "So maybe we could find someone who would be willing to be a surrogate. Or maybe a mom who would want to share custody."

Jackson had an idea. "Maybe, we could ask Sage and Lexa to be the moms."

"Lexa and Sage." Miller liked that idea. "But we barley know them."

"But weren't you and Sage friends when you were kids?" Jackson asked.

"Yeah, I guess we were." Miller nodded.

Lexa got the juice cleaned up and took the kids down to Octavia's office.

Clarke patched Octavia's arm up from the cut she got from the paricite.

Lexa walked in with Madi and TJ. "You wanted to see me, Bloodreina?"

"Gross." Madi looked at Octavia's arm. A smile formed over her face.

"Madi." Lexa hit Madi's shoulder a little just to tell her 'knock it off.'

"The infection's passing." Clarke stated. "This my sting a little bit. You sure you don't want Jackson to do this?"

"Jackson's tending to Indra and the others in medbay." Octavia informed her. "Just do it."

Clarke poured some alcohol on a rag and put it on Octavia's arm. Octavia looked over at Lexa and the kids.

"Madi's a big fan." Lexa told Octavia. "She's heard all about the girl under the floor who saved the human race."

"Now what's your story?" Octavia looked over at Madi. "You survived 6 years of radiation? What's your secret?"

"I gave her some of my nightblood." Lexa said, trying to protect Madi. "I took her to Becca's lab and shared my bone marrow to keep her alive."
