chapter 26

I do not own the 100. I am just a fan writing fanfic.

Bellamy's  P.O.V.

It had been 2 weeks since Clarke had told me she was pregnant, a ridiculously long 2 weeks. She had finally stopped throwing up last week but she was exhausted. She was exhausted but she refused to except help or rest. I was using all of my energy worrying about her or trying not to strangle her. I loved her but she was impossible.

I had always thought Octvia was bad. I had to entertain her for 15 years and she was nothing compared to Clarke. Since no one but Raven, Montey and Lincoln knew i was almost always on my own to watch her. She was just as bad as a child. If she wasn't watched she wouldn't remember to sat or drink water, she would forget to rest. It was driving me insane. She was ridiculously stubborn. The only time she ever laid down was when she slept or when we were having sex. And as much as I enjoyed sleeping with her we could constantly be in bed.

"Clarke," i said trying to get her to focus, "sit down and eat something, common." I said, sending her a look that we now often shared. The words were silent but the message clear, 'for the baby'. She caved and sat down on the chair in the side room of the med bay. I handed her rations and some water. She slowly started to eat. She shivered a bit, she was cold and i could see her trying to hide it. Everyday it got colder and yet she still wouldn't admit it when she wanted a sweater. I pulled my jacket around her shoulders, she began to protest but I gave her the look. She had refused to tell anyone else yet, not even her mother. I understood but I knew she must be dying to talk to someone other than me about our secret.

She looked small in my jacket, i made a mental note to get her a warmer one for winter, one she could grow into. She hadnt started to show yet but it was a matter of time, or at least that was my guess. She snacked on her food and we sat in comfortable silence. I was sitting next to her and she leaned her head against my shoulder. I looked down at her hand  which had absent-mindedly wondered to her stomach. It was becoming a habit and although it was adorable, it would definitely give it away that she was pregnant. I stroved her hair a bit, maybe I would get lucky and she would fall asleep.

She was quite and I thought for a moment maybe she really had fallen asleep but then she turnned and spoke, "so I talked to Raven and she is trying to come up with some sort of stethoscope for the baby, seeing as we don't have an ultrasound." She said. I smiled at her. "You should talk to your mom Clarke." I said, knowing I was possibly starting a fight. She sighed, "Bellamy. I want to but-" she stopped short. "What? Common you know you would feel better." I said. She burrowed her head into my chest and as cute as it was I wasnt going to drop this. "Maybe. I make no promises." She huffed. I smirked, "thats the spirit princess." She only rolled her eyes.

I got up, "i gotta go. Houses won't build themselves." I said. Unfortunately this was true, they had to be built. And we were so close to finishing it was painful, 2 more to go. Clarke and I had moved into a house a few days after she told me she was pregnant. No tents for a mother-to-be. I kissed her on the head, "get some rest," i lowered myself to my knees and kissed her stomach, "give her a break, okay?" I said. Clarke only laughed. I got up and headed out to the main part of the dropship. I spotted Raven and nodded to her, "tag your it"i said just loud enough for her to hear. She laughed and rolled her eyes. With that i headed out of the drop ship and to work.

Clarke's P.O.V.

I sat in front of the radio, which was now in the side room of the dropship. It was almost 3:00. My mom would call me any minute. I ran through my possibilities. And each time I came to the same conclusion, I could tell her now and she would worry, or I could not tell her and when she found out she would be angry. I sighed, shit. Okay, man up Clarke. You got this.

As if on cue my moms voice cut across the static and into my ears. "Clarke?!". I paused, "Hey mom." I said softly. Everyone I heard her voice I relaxed a bit. "Hi sweetie." She said. I almost cried. I missed her and these hormones were gonna make me cry. "Whats new, Clarke?" She asked. If only she knew. I paused, "whats new with you?" I asked redirecting the conversation, I wasn't ready. "Not much, its getting cold but we are almost all prepared for winter. Now what about you, what's up?" She asked. She didn't totally know about me and Bellamy, which made this harder.

"Um well, actually I should probably tell you, you know that guy I was talking a bit about, well I know I told you things weren't super serious but we are together and I think- I think I love him mom." I said. There was a pause and I so afraid of what she was going to say. "He sounds wonderful Clarke. I cant wait to met him, inam glad you have someone. Especially since I can't be there right now." She said. I let out a breath. Thank you, thank god, oh thank you. I mean it wouldn't have changed anything but it made things simpler and i wanted simple. I decided not to tell her about the baby. One thing at a time. We continued to talk and I felt better, I was closer to telling her and thats all that matters.

----------

I walked into the house, i was drained. All my energy was gone. I sat down in a chair, i was still getting used to the house but it was warm and it smelt like pine. I started to fall asleep when the door opened, i shook myself awake. Octavia walked in carrying a bowl, holding her nose between her fingers.

The smell hit me, fish. I wrinkled my nose and before I could ask she answered my question. "Lincoln told me to give this to you. I dint know why cause it smells disgusting but take it. I can't stand it anymore." She said thrusting the bowl out into my hands. It smelt awful but I knew I had to eat it. Lincoln was trying to get me to eat vitamins. I poked at it, Octavia was right it was disgusting. "So why is my boyfriend sending you gross fish? Did you piss him off or something?" She asked. I laughed. Octavia sat down by the table. " i asked for some healthy foods, i wanted to try something new, this wasnt what I was expecting." I said jokingly gagging.

Octavia eyed me, "okay then, but next time request no fish ok." She said turnning her nose up at the bowl. I placed it away from me, i would attempt to eat it later.

I heard the door and Octavia and I turned to see Bellamy walking in. He had his coat in this hand he was hanging it up, "how's my two favorite people?" He asked not looking up, "I've missed you two all day" he said. Octavia raised an eyebrow confused. He was about to blow it. Don't do it, don't say baby, no. I silently begged. By some miracle he looked up.

He looked at me and Octavia surprised, "oh, I- hello" he stuttered patheticly. We were screwed. "Expecting someone else Bell? I mean your 2 favorite people? Guess I am bumped down to third then." She said not buying it when he tried to recover. "What no, I just- ummmm well, you see. We invited Raven over to talk about something and its this joke we have," he drowned in his excuse. "Okay, then big brother." She said sending me a look like he'd lost his mind, i only smiled. Octavia got up and kissed her brother's cheek, "see you later then" and walked out the door. As soon as the door closed I finally relaxed. Bellamy was sweating buckets.

"Can we please tell them. I can't lie anymore, its killing me." He begged. He wrinkled his nose, "what the hell is that smell?" He asked. I laughed, like brother, like sister. "Its fish. And yes we can tell them soon, just hold it together for a few more days." I mocked he looked relieved. "I can do a few more days" he said.

He walked over and kissed me. "Did you eat?" He asked. There was no point in lying. " not yet." I said. He shook his head. "Okay first things first, throw out the silly fish and then we get food." I laughed in argeement. Thank god he seemed to understand me.
