Someone like you

Chapter Three

It has been a few months since Bellamy built the house. Everyone has started to copy and it is like they have their own little village on the ground. Luckily, it’s becoming more civilized than it was in the early days. Clarke’s bump is huge and she knows that the baby will be coming soon. You would think everything is going perfectly. Not too many arguments. Proper houses. More food. But no.
Clarke has the plague.
She’s lying in her cottage. Spitting up blood and crying her eyes out. She is in so much pain. Bellamy is waiting outside and he keeps pacing. Every time he hears Clarke’s screams he walks faster. Octavia and Raven are trying their best to deliver the baby early. They are all worrying that the baby could get the plague.
The plague hit camp almost two weeks ago. Already seven have died and many have lost limbs. The only sound you can hear in camp is the constant coughing and cries of pain. Not pleasant at all. Surprisingly, some people, including Bellamy and Octavia, are immune to the cure. Unlike Finn who has lost his right leg. The state Raven was in made everyone feel guilty. Clarke got the plague last week and she couldn’t take it. She was so weak with the baby alone and now having a virus as well. Clarke cried blood. She started seeing things. Everyone did. Nosebleeds started happening more and more often. Mostly everyone thought all hope was lost. But no one knows.
“It’s coming.” Clarkes shouts worryingly. 
“Clarke, it’s going to be okay.” Octavia reassures her.
But she doesn’t listen she just screams and screams in pain. Which makes her cough more too. Raven is swearing and Octavia is trying as hard as she can to help Clarke push. Clarke bites her lip and makes it bleed. Raven can see the droplets of sweat falling from Clarke’s brow. She wants to do something but she feels frozen to the spot. Who can blame her, she saw her boyfriend lose a leg and now she’s seeing someone giving birth. Veins start popping on Clarke’s forehead from all the stress. Sadly, the baby couldn’t be seen by Octavia. There was still a long way to go.

“I can’t take this!” Bellamy screams at Finn.
Finn chews on his tongue as he tries to move. “Don’t worry Bellamy. Just have hope.”
Bellamy stands still and stares straight on at Finn as if he was crazy. “I need to see her.” He states.
“It won’t help.” Finn tells him.
“I don’t give a damn.” Bellamy states and walks straight in.

“How’s it going?” Bellamy asks full of concern.
“It’s going.” Raven replies.
Clarke screams.
“Can’t you do something to stop her being in pain?” He asks, leaning down to Clarke.
“Obviously not, you complete” Raven starts.
“Raven stop. Clarke needs peace.” Octavia interrupts.
Bellamy leans over to Clarke.  “Come on princess, you can’t stop being your stubborn self, not now.” He fake laughs. Trying to take her mind of of it.
Clarke screams again and Octavia shouts ‘push’. But still nothing. Octavia repeats and Clarke starts coughing up more blood.
“I see it.” Octavia smiles. “I see the baby.”
Bellamy smiles and kisses Clarke’s cheek and she tries to smile. Then the baby is out. Everyone is sighing with relief. Everyone except Clarke. She starts screaming again and blood is everywhere. But Bellamy doesn’t notice. He’s too busy cradling his baby in his arms. His face is so stunned by its beauty. But then he snaps out of it.
“Something is not right.” Octavia shouts.
“What is happening?” He asks taking his baby tightly.
“Get the baby out of here!” Raven shouts.
Bellamy leaves, aghast by everything that’s going on.
                                                                                                                ***
Clarke’s screams fill the room and worry pierces on Raven and Octavia’s faces. More blood escapes her mouth.
“I think she’s having another one.” Raven suggests loudly.
“Push! Clarke push!” Octavia screams.
And Clarke does, as hard as she can. More screams and cries of agony escaping her mouth. She’s in so much pain.
“Make it stop!” Clarke yells.
“You did it!” Octavia smiles.
Clarke laughs and Bellamy barges in.
“Bell, you have twins.” Octavia smiles.
Clarke closes her eyes and moans. More blood spiting from her mouth.
“Clarke?” Bellamy screams.
“What is happening?” Raven asks.
“I don’t know?” Octavia replies. She takes a cold cloth and tries to chill Clarke’s fever. But she keeps screaming and moaning.
“Clarke!” Bellamy screams.
Then she stops.
