High School (Bellarke)

Part 21

Clarke's POV:
Wow. Bellamy has a baby. I don't even know what to think, but I know that I want to be with him. I still can't believe that his ex didn't don't even tell him that she was pregnant, he at least deserved to know that he was having a baby. My eyes drift open to see Bellamy sitting next to me, his head resting on my chest and his arms clutching the baby. I stroke his hair and he awakes. "Hey." He says before sitting up and beginning to rock the baby. "What's her name?" I ask as I reach over to the baby and grab her tiny hand in mine. "I don't know, Lexa didn't say." He replies and i sigh. "Well.. what are you going to all her then?" He shows me a quizzical look, clearly attempting to think of a name. "Umm... what about Nylah?" As soon as he says the name, my face lights up and I say "Perfect." Suddenly my phone starts ringing and I pick it up from the side table and answer it.
Dad: Clarke?
Me: Oh hi dad.
Dad: I've been trying to get hold of you for days.
Me: Sorry I've just been really busy with school. I say, winking at Bellamy.
Dad: I need to tell you something Clarke, it's important.
Me: What is it dad?
Dad: I'll tell you it in person, I'm coming over, see you soon.
And with that he hangs up, leaving me confused. Bellamy notices my expression and asks, "Are you okay?" "I don't know, my dad said he's coming over to tell me something important." He furrows his brow and says "Any idea what it us?" He continues to rock Nylah, but looks up at me. "No."
10 minutes later:
I hear yet another knock on the door and go to open it, to see my dad. "Hi." I say and he looks worried, but manages a small 'hi' before walking inside. We sit down at the table and he sighs before saying "I'm going to tel Lyon something and I need you not to say anything until im done." I nod and he continues. "Before you were born, your mother had another baby and it was a boy. But she said she wasn't ready yet and she gave the baby up for adoption. I didn't completely agree with her but I knew it was the right thing to do at that time-" I interrupt and say, "What was his name?" Trying to keep my voice steady. "Lincoln." He says and I gasp. I hear a creek and turn around to see that Lincoln had been standing on the stairs the whole time, and he'd heard everything. "Lincoln?" My dad says and he gets up to stand next to me. "Hi." Lincoln says nervously and my dad walks over and pulls him into an embrace. At first Lincoln resists but then he gives up and hugs him back. "So... your my dad." Lincoln says after a minute of silence. "Yeh, I moved here because I knew you lived here and I wanted to meet you." He replies, I smile and Lincoln nods. "And your my sister." He says and turns to face me. "I guess so." I say back and pull him into a hug. "I've always wanted a sister." I pull away and sigh, before turning around to see Bellamy had come back into the room and so had O. "Wow." Bell and O say simultaneously, their faces covered in shock. "I know." I say to them and they walk over to us, soon we are all standing in a circle in silence. After a few minutes, dad says that he want to get to know Lincoln some more so they go and get coffee, O goes with them. "That was interesting princess." Bell says and I laugh, coming back over to sit next to him on the couch. "Definitely. Wow, Lincoln is my brother. That's a lot to take in after finding out you have a baby." He gives me an apologetic look and I try to remove it by smiling at him, it works. I go over to the kitchen and pour some milk into a baby bottle that Lexa gave to Bell. I put the remaining milk in the fridge and walk back over to the couch, and pass it to him. "Thanks." He says quietly, he wasn't usually the quiet one. "You okay?" I ask, growing slightly concerned. "Yeh I'm okay, just kind of worried about what happens next." He says, his gaze turning to the small Nylah, grasping his hand with hers. "Everything will work out Bell, we'll be fine." He nods and moves so that he's sitting next me and puts his arm around me. I respond by resting my head on his shoulder and putting my arm around his.
