The Parent Trap {Claven / Princess Mechanic}

Confession

The next morning, Sofi held Cuppy and nervously paced in front of the double doors that led to her mother's bedroom. Clarke was sketching a design of a gown as she talked to someone in French on the phone. She peeked through the door and stared at her mother. She was in bed with her long hair down and tousled and make up less, having just woken up.

"Just do it sweet pea." Abby said into her ear, while Lauren and Octavia stood beside her, urged her with a little pat on her rear which made Sofi enter.

Clarke looked up and smiled at her daughter, patting the empty spot beside her on the bed as she hung up the phone. "I have to finish this sketch and fax it to Paris, then how about you and I go out to lunch and spend the rest of the day getting lost in Harrods?" Clarke asked her daughter as she put an arm around her and kissed her cheek.

"I can't... I'm sorry... I have to go out of town today." Sofi said looking down.

"You have to go out of town today?" Clarke decided to humor her daughter, "And where, may I ask, are you going?" she asked.

Instead of answering, Sofi buried herself underneath the white satin sheets of her mother's bed.

"Mila." Clarke said with a laugh trying to tickle her into coming out, "Mila!"

"That's why I have to go! I have to go see Mila." Punky said underneath the covers, dropping the English accent. Lauren and Octavia peeked into the room at the sound of her voice - she wasn't exactly all too quiet when she said it - even though it cost them both a slap on their arms by Abby.

"I see and where might Mila be?" Clarke asked still thinking it was a joke.

"In Napa with her mother, Raven Reyes." Sofi answered with a mumble, and this piece of news definitely shocked Clarke.

Her jaw dropped and she looked at her mother and friends who could only nod in reply. Clarke's eyes filled with tears and she looked back down at the lump in her covers.

"You're not Mila?" Clarke asked in a raspy whisper, pulling on the sheets while Sofi looked at her fearfully (she was never scared; she had no idea what this woman was doing to her) with her big blue eyes holding her Cuppy close to her.

"That would be correct." Sofi mumbled, her eyes wide in worry even though her mothers lips were going up with a smile.

"You're Sofia?" Clarke whispered as a tear slowly slid down her cheeks, smiling softly in astonishment.

"I am." Sofi sighed, sitting up.

Clarke put a hand on her mouth as tears fell from her eyes as she looked at the daughter she hasn't seen in over eleven years.

"Mila and I met at camp and we decided to switch places." Sofi whispered softly, looking at her mother. "I'm sorry, but I'd never seen you and I'd dreamt of meeting you my whole life and Mila felt the exact same way about Mamí, so we just sorta switched lives. I hope you're not mad because I love you so much and I just hope one day you can love me as me and not as Mila." She explained as her mother looked at her blankly.

"Oh, honey, I've loved you your whole life." Clarke cried as she pulled her daughter into her arms. The two looked up to see a bawling Lauren being comforted by Octavia who closed the door to give them some more privacy as Abby just shook her head.

"I've never so happy in my entire life!" they heard her bawl and Clarke turned to her daughter.

"Why didn't you tell me it was you all along?" she asked.

"I was scared." Sofi confessed wiping away the rest of her tears, "So I guess you have to switch us back now, huh?"

"Legally, you belong to your mother and Mila belongs to me." Clarke answered with a sigh, thinking about her ex all over again. She would never admit it, but she missed her.
