May we meet again (Clexa)

Chapter 18

"So, how does it feel like being part of society again." Abby asked as Clarke helped Madi pack up all her clothes, Aden made his decision in staying and Clarke admitted that it made her sad but she was okay with it, if it made Aden happy she was okay.

"It's still a bit hard, but I'm relieved that the social worker cleared me for little miss sunshine over there." Clarke smiled as she folded the last top and closed the suitcase shut.

"You won't be a stranger right?" Abby asked, as worry took over her, she didn't have the heart to lose her daughter all over again, and this time she wouldn't be losing just her but Madi too.

"I won't, and besides I'll be picking Aden up for school everyday, we might even pitch in at breakfast, but I promise every weekend to come over."

"That's good," Abby said as she pulled Madi's Favorite teddy, Wonder up from the bed.

"Thank you." Clarke said

"Okay." Abby said as she put the teddy next to the closed suitcase.

"No, thank you for everything, for not giving up on me. I don't think I'd be here without you."

"You can do and be anything you want Clarke, you did this not me," Abby said pulling Clarke into a tight hug, a hug telling her how proud she was as a mother, how proud she was to have all her family back together again and mostly how proud she was at the strength her daughter had.

"Be good, okay." she said, she held on for a bit longer before letting go and grabbing the suitcase and walking out of the room. Clarke knew her mom was crying, she also wanted to cry, she was sad yet happy and she was okay with that.

Clarke grabbed Wonder and picked up the small bag and walk put to the car, putting it in the boot she followed her mom inside.

"Hey, sweet cheeks we have to go." Madi looked up at Clarke then next to her brother next to her.

"I'll see you in the morning, kid." Aden pulled Madi in a side hug and took off his necklace, "I think mom would wanted you to have it." He said, tying it around her sisters neck.

"In the morning?" Madi asked.

"Yep, and I'll even walk you to class." He said

"Okay," Madi replied as she stood to her feet, she scurried toward Clarke and took her hand.

They walked out of the hosue, Aden and abby behind them. "See you in the morning Nana." Madi said, waving at Abby.

"I'll make you pancakes."

"With coco chips?" She looked back, and stopped on her tracks.

"Yes, sweetie." Abby took long strides  she picked the girl up and  held her close, she didn't want to say goodbye, even if she was going to see her again tomorrow, she wnated Madi to stay but knew Clarke needed Madi to leave with her, Madi wrapped her tiny hands around Abby's neck. "I love you."

"I love you too, princess." Abby said.

When they got to the house, Clarke spotted someone sitting on the porch, at first she thought it was Niylah, but to her surprise it was Lexa. The car pulled into the drive way, and Lexa stood up and kicked the grass, as though she didn't know what to do with herself.

Madi got out of the car, taking Wonder she headed for Lexa, standing in front of the tall stranger in front of her, Madi looked up and smiled.

"I'm Madi," She announced

"I'm Lexa," Lexa took the little hand in hers, kissed it softly as though Madi were a princess and the look on the girl's face was priceless.

"No running off little missy," Clarke came behind Madi, placing both her hands on her shoulders.
