From the Streets |• Clexa AU

Party Planning

      Clarke, Luna and Anya had gone to buy food and party supplies while the other girls invited some friends for a barbecue as a last minute distraction.

"Wait, I'm expected to do something for Mothers Day?" Demetria asks, her jaw dropping.

   "Clarke is legally your mother, of course you are." Octavia says, taking a seat on the edge of the pool and dipping her legs in the cold water. "Technically Lexa too." Octavia finishes.

   "Wait what? I've never done this before what am I supposed to do?" Demetria asks, picking up a Capri-Sun and joining Octavia by the pool.

   "You have asked the worst group of people kid." Emori says from her place on the lounge chair.

    "Wait why, what's up with all of your mothers?" Demetria asks innocently.

   "Disowned."  Raven responded.

    "Abandoned." Lincoln replied.

   "Dead."  Octavia added.

   "Dead." Bellamy continued

    "Dead." Emori commented.

    "Jail." Harper mentioned.

    "Mentally unstable." Murphy answered.

   "And Dead." Lexa concluded.

  "Damn." Demetria says, looking at the adults around her and surprised at seeing no glum or sullen faces.

    Lexa was on a pineapple float with sunglasses, looking as calm as ever. Emori and Harper were basking in the sunlight on lounge chairs while Murphy was making hot dogs for everybody. Lincoln was trying to do handstands in the water which left Raven and Bellamy making a grilled cheese for the singular vegetarian in the midst of meat lovers.

   "I'm sure it's on Pinterest or something." Raven says, passing the cheese to Bellamy and then proceeded to chop up tomatoes. When silence greeted her she looked up in realization, "Oh child. You don't know what Pinterest is do you?" Demetria shakes her head in response and sips on her juice.

   "Lexa, you need to get the girl a phone." Harper commented, pulling out her own in the process.

   "All in due time." Lexa sighs.

  "What about school and all that stuff?" Bellamy asks,  as he finished up with the grilled cheese.

  "She starts in a few weeks." Lexa said in a monotone voice, adjusting her sunglasses. She was supposed to attend school nearly a week ago but Clarke and Lexa completely forgot, woops.

  "Do we have to discuss my impending doom?" Demetria asks, and received a hearty chuckle from Bellamy.

   "Well, good luck. And welcome to the family." Bellamy says as he puts the grilled cheese on a plate and handed it to Demetria.

  "Thanks." Demetria mumbles and digs into her sandwich.

"Oi mayonnaise boy! Where's our  food?" Emori shouted to her boyfriend.

"Coming up, my lady." Murphy answered, as he flipped over some sausages.

  "So Bellamy, when are you leaving for Florida?" Raven asks as she pulls out another float, this one a flamingo, and placing it in the pool before jumping on it. Lexa flashed the finger at Raven as some water droplets touched her leg, Demetria smirking as she saw the interaction.

  "Next week, about the same time Octavia does." Bellamy replied, oblivious to the fact that everybody already knew the answer.

  "Are you guys all packed up?" Lincoln asks, hopping out of the pool and wrapping himself in a towel.
