Mabel on the Ring

Partially Happy

Mabel's pov

I spent the rest of the day sitting quietly in the tent asking Octavia any other questions I might have had. I went and sat outside quietly drawing in the dirt when Octavia came and sat next to me.
"You've been pretty quiet Mabel. Everything okay?" She asks me.
"Yeah just a lot to think about." I reply.
She started to play with my hair again.
"Remember your parents did what was best for us and you. We probably wouldn't be here today without them. The decisions they have made has hurt them too. Don't think for a second that they wanted to kill all those people or they enjoyed it." She spoke
I could feel her parting my hair.
"Has Dad forgiven you for what you did?" I ask.
"I don't know Mabel, but he probably won't forgive me for quite sometime." She replies.
"Hey how about we learn some Trigedeslang." Octavia changes subject.
"What's that?" I giggle.
"Grounder language." She responds."
"Ok. I hear my parents can speak it but no one has ever really taught me." I tell her.
"Okay well lets start with this saying........yu gon plei ste odon."
"What does that mean?" I question.
"It means your fight is now over. It's what grounders say to people who die." Octavia explains
"I think it's beautiful." I smile as I continue to draw in the dirt.
She continues to teach me other saying when we heard noise from a distance. We both stand bolt upright.
"Help." We hear the person call out.
Octavia runs straight to the sound. She would never do that unless she knew who it was. I ran after her. Im stopped dead in my tracks when I see Octavia helping my Mommy or Josie. There was Dad carrying her.
"What are you doing here?" He began.
"Bellamy we don't have time. Gabriel's this way." Octavia interjects.
They began walking and Octavia looked at me telling me to follow.
We all head inside and lay her down on the table. I stand beside my Moms body but it was Josie's mind. She was awake and turned to me.
"Jeez kid you are smart like your parents said you were." She croaked.
"Your evil." I growl.
"You hurt my Mom and my family and you don't deserve to live anymore." I scream at her face. I'm pulled back by Dad.
"Hey Mabel that's enough." He kneels down and looks at me.
"We will be having a conversation later on how you got out here and listening to your parents later but right now we need to get your Mom back so go sit over there and wait please." He points to the bed.
I sigh and made my way to the bed. I sat there watching them quietly. They got Josephine out of Mommy but she wasn't waking up.
"Clarke come on. I need you, Madi and Mabel need you." He pleads with her. He started putting his mouth on hers then pumping her chest. I had no idea what he was doing but it seemed to work. She sat up and they both hugged.
"Mommy!" I yell and run over to her.
"Oh sweetheart." She kisses me and hugs me tight.
I started crying.
"Hey. It's okay I'm here." Mommy soothes me.

"Mabel." Daddy calls my name.
I turn around and look at him.
"We need to talk about how you got out here." He changes the subject.
Mommy looks at Daddy.
"He's right Mabel, you should have stayed in Sanctum." Mommy added.
"I couldn't. I snuck into the castle after they told you had died and I wanted to find out what they were doing. I got caught and they tested me for the royal blood. I don't have it so they chained me up but Echo helped me escape. She didn't know I made it to here though." I explain.
"You should have stayed there though." Daddy scolded me.
"It's not safe there though. All our friends are locked up and something is wrong with Madi." I reply.
Mom and Dad both look at each other with concern.
"Mommy?" I ask
"Yeah." She looks at me.
"Is the baby okay?" I question.
Her and Daddy look at each other and I was so confused but she turned back to me and nodded.

The following morning I woke up next to Mommy and Daddy. I was in between them. It's what I wanted. I look at both Mommy and Daddy, Mommy was awake.
"Hi Mommy." I whisper.
"Hey baby girl." She smiles at me.
"Remember I'm not a baby, I'm a big girl now." I correct her
She giggles at me.
"That baby inside you is the baby now Mom." I add
"Your right." She replies.
I see her put her hand on her tummy. It didn't look like there was a baby in there. She did have a small lump there though. She grabs my hand and places it on top of it.
"Your gonna be a big sister which means your gonna have to teach your brother or sister everything you know." She whispers in my ear.
I feel the bed move and I see Daddy's arm move across me. His hand was on top of mine.
"So big sister duties huh." He spoke
"Yep and I endeavor to be the best big sister ever." I laugh.
"Endeavor? Where did you learn that word?" They both ask me.
"Well I listen to adults talk and I read as much as I can." I spoke
"Sorry to ruin your happy little family moment but we need to save our people including Madi." Octavia interrupted.
