Another Family (CLEXA AU)

3)A Night Out

"Ok so to sum everything up, don't do anything dumb and keep my daughter safe. Understood?"

"Yes Ma'am!" Murphy says, giving me a salute.

"Bellamy, make sure Murphy doesn't do anything bad." I sigh, grabbing my purse and keys.

"You got it princess. Have fun tonight. Me and Murphy will give Madi the night of her life." Bellamy smiled, and I already regret my decision of going out tonight.

"Ok I'm going to go say bye to Madi, if you need anything just call."

"Ok." The two chorused together, and I walk to Madi's room to see she's on the floor coloring.

"Hey Madi, I'm going out tonight and I thought it would be fun if Uncle Murphy and uncle Bellamy came and had a sleepover with you."

"Yay! Sleepover!" Madi cheered, standing up and running towards me and jumping into my arms.

"Have a great night sweetie. I love you forever."

"I love you forever mommy."

We pull away and I watch as Bellamy and Murphy walk into the room and Madi stands up and hugs them. I love my friends so much, and they have never done anything to make me feel uncomfortable with Madi. In fact, they often ask to see her and hang out with her. Madi may not have a dad or grandparents but she has a mom, 4 uncles, and 2 aunts, that love her more than anything. Although only I am related to her by blood, we are all a big family.

I leave the house and get in the car to go to the park, where I'm meeting Raven and Octavia. Apparently there is some movie being screened tonight, and Octavia and Raven think I need some kind of a girls night out or parenting break. When I get to the park, I get out of the car and text Raven who says they have an area with a picnic blanket spread out already. I spot them quickly and run over to them, tackling them in a hug.

"Ahhh! Clarke you broke me!" Raven yelled, as she and Octavia hugged me back.

We eventually sat up, and we talked and got caught up for half an hour before the movie started. The movie was great but the best part wes spending time with my friends. When it was over, we all walked to Octavia's car to sit on the hood and hang out a bit.

"So Clarke, Monty told me you had your eye on a certain someone at Akadia the other day." Octavia said, smirking.

"Well Monty also told you that the guy who slowly drove past your house all the time was a stalker and he just turned out to be some sweet old man who was a slow driver." I argue back.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Raven asks, raising an eyebrow.

"It just means Monty isn't always right."

"Well that was a really weird way to say that Griffin." Octavia laughs, shoving me playfully.

"Wait let's back up a second Clarke, what's this person's name?" Raven asks, still curious about whatever information Monty gave them.

"Lexa Woods."

"Lexa Woods... as in the owner of Firestrom?" Octavia asks, and her eyes visibly widen.

"I don't know what that is." I admit, shrugging my shoulders.

"It's the future of technology Clarke! They are always working on these super secretive projects that always end up becoming super successful." Raven explains.

"Oh, well that's cool I guess." I say shrugging awkwardly.

"You bet it's cool. Lexa was made CEO at like 13 after her parents died. It was all over the news how did you not hear about it?" Octavia asked, still surprised.
