~Bellamy's POV~
At the bottom of the ladder, we heard loud footsteps running above us. Shouts echoing through the halls.
"Find them!" Lexa's voice commanded, "how could you let her go?!"
"I didn't. I was attacked!" A voice I was all to familiar with. Finn. When I get my hands on him, I kill him for hurting Clarke. But for now I have to get her out of here and to camp safely.
"How do we get out of here with out being seen? I mean carrying a pregnant Clarke would be too noticeable," Octavia said. We started thinking. I can't leave Clarke here but if I carry her, Octavia was right. It would be too noticeable. Then an idea popped into my head.
"What about the Flame keeper's tunnel?" I asked and turned to Roan.
"We would still have to go through the city," Lincoln said and Roan nodded.
"But they wouldn't suspect us to go out in the open like that. As long as we stay in the shadows, we should be fine," Roan said. Clarke began to stir and she lifted her head to look at me.
"Bellamy, I can walk. That would help," she said quietly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah," she said and I slowly lowered her to the ground. She clamped to my right arm to help hold herself up.
"Let's move," Kane said.
We approached the door to the market and slipped into the shadows. We almost had success when Octavia kicked something ahead of us and a quiet ow sounded behind some crates. Octavia dragged the person out in front of us. A small girl was on her knees and shaking tremendously.
"Katie?" I heard Octavia say.
"Octavia?!" Katie said and hugged her.
"Who is this?" Kane asked and stepped forward.
"Lincoln and I found her alone at a village burned down. Her parents were part of the casualties. That's were I was for a few months," Octavia responded.
"Ok now that the reunion is over, can we get Clarke out of here," I said impatiently.
"Clarke?" Katie said. I nodded.
"Come on," Octavia said and guided Katie and the rest of us to the Flame Keeper's tunnel.

"Hey!" A male voice shouted. We turned to see three men rushing towards us.
I shield Clarke with my body, holding her behind me. "Roan! Lincoln!" I shouted and they met swords. The third one kept its path and headed for me and Clarke. With Clarke behind me, I readied for the attack. There was no way in hell I would let them take her.
   "Give us Clarke," he said.
   "Over my dead body," I said and stared at him. He got within five feet.
Then in a flash, Octavia comes up behind him and shoves her sword in his back. Blood drips from his mouth. He collapses to the ground. She smiles and we make sure Clarke is ok.
We turn at a grunt. One of a men was on Roan. The other in a fist fight with Lincoln. The blade was touching Roan's throat. Kane takes Lincoln sword that was on the ground and stabs him. Roan pushes the man off and Kane helped him up. Lincoln had just knocked the other guy out.
"We better get a move on," Kane said.

~minutes later~
We stopped when we got half way back to Arkadia. Clarke was tired and needed to rest.
"How do you know Clarke?" I asked.
"From what Octavia told me. I just never thought I would actually get to see her." I smiled.

~Clarke's POV~
Bellamy fell asleep leaning against a tree next to me. "That's the first real rest he has gotten since you were captured," Kane said.
"I take it you know?" I asked and shifted my head on Bellamy's leg.
"That you're pregnant? Yes. So does Roan. Bellamy was restless the whole time you were gone," he said and threw a stick into the fire.
"Thank you Kane. For helping him," I said.
"You're welcome. But don't worry. I won't tell your mom," he said, "but I do think you should tell her soon." He nodded at my stomach. Finn was right. I was starting to show. And before long it would no longer be a secret. But how I would tell her, is still a mystery.
