Chapter Text
The celebration in Polis is big. Grounders from every clan have been invited. Everyone who wants to come has been welcomed by the commander to do so. During the week that has passed, grounders have been helping what is left from the Skaikru to rebuild Arkadia. It’s still in the early stages of rebuilding, but they will get there eventually. The twelve other clans have each promised they will help with the materials the sky people need, along with food, water, clothes and other necessities. All in due time, Arkadia will be standing again. It will look different, but at least the Skaikru will have a home again and that’s what matters.
For now a part of the Skaikru has been staying in Polis. A few have resorted to live with Luna’s people and a few are temporarily living with the ice nation. To thank the twelve other clans, the sky people have promised they will make sure each clan will have their own medical bay, along with properly trained healers.
Lexa is pleased how each clan is working together, as they should. Everything that had happened had sent quite the shock throughout the clans. The losses have been mourned. The death of ten natblidas was one of the biggest losses they had. The coalition is much stronger now.
The bakers in Polis have baked as many cakes as they could to prepare for the celebration. Grounders are seated at tables, while some have settled to sit down in circles on the ground, due to the large amount of grounders that are present during this celebration. The woodworkers have made more tables, but there aren’t enough tables for everyone.
Raven smiles as she sees Jasper arrive with Shay and others of the Boat People. Her smile turns brighter as Jasper spots Monty and those two hug each other like the total bros they are. She nudges Clarke and Octavia. “I’m going to sit with them, see you both later.” She winks at them and runs off to Jasper, Monty, Shay and a few of Luna’s people.
Jasper proudly reveals some moonshine. “Look what I brought.” He holds it out to Raven and Monty like it’s a treasure.
Raven swings her arms around them. “At least you know how to party.” She takes the moonshine from his hands. “There’s a table over there.” She nods her head in the direction of an empty table. “So Monty, how does it feel to be the chancellor of the sky people?”
“I can’t believe we’re still being called the sky people, we have been down on the ground for so many years.” Monty takes a cup and fills it with moonshine. “It feels different to be the chancellor, but in a good way. How does it feel for you to be a queen?”
Raven fills a cup for herself. “It makes me feel old.” She takes a sip from her cup and grins at Monty and Jasper. “We have a lot of catching up to do.”
Clarke is crouched down. Her arms are stretched out in front of her. “Look, Lex, she’s trying to walk towards me.” She smiles as Tris is taking careful little steps.
Lexa shakes her head. “I believe she is trying to walk towards me.” She’s crouched down a small distance in front of her wife. Tris is walking between them.
Anya kneels down on another side of Tris. “I bet she’ll walk towards me, you’ll see.” She holds her arms out. “Right, Tris? Come here cutie.” She coos.
Jake crouches down on the only side that is still free, now having the four of them all cornering Tris. He holds his arms out and smiles at his little sister.
Tris giggles. Her eyes look around at her mothers, her sister and her brother. She claps her hands, slowly and a bit clumsily walks up to Jake and falls in his arms. “Jajaja.” She giggles more.
Jake wraps his arms tightly around his little sister, nuzzles his head on top of hers and smiles at his mothers and his sisters. He loves Tris, she is really cute.
Clarke and Lexa feel their heart swell. They love how Tris calls Jake either ‘Jaja’ or ‘Jajaja’. It’s their daughter’s second and third word, if it can really count as words.
“I should have known.” Anya says. She laughs heartily. “Okay, but she would have picked me if it wasn’t for Jake.” She stands up. “Oh and Jake, do you still want me to introduce you properly to that girl who likes you?”
Clarke coughs and stands up. “Anyone want some cake?” Her voice is too high pitched to pass as neutral. “Yummy cake. Right children?” She wants to change this topic fast.
Lexa actually snorts at her wife’s behavior. Clarke is being ridiculously adorable. Her wife is perfect in every way. She will always love Clarke there is no doubt about that. She knows that her wife is worried that their children are growing up too fast.
Clarke pokes her wife. “Don’t you snort at me like that.” She tackles Lexa into a hug. “You’re supposed to support me.”
“I am supporting you, Clarke.” Lexa smiles up at her wife. “The cake will be yummy.” She whispers in a husky tone.
“I’m going to wipe the icing of the cake all over your face.” Clarke playfully threatens. “That will shut you up.”
Lexa stands up and holds her hand out to her wife. When her little family is all up to their feet her eyes twinkle mischievously. “Race you all to our table.” She places one leg further from her other and leans lightly on her knee. “Ready?”
Anya and Jake nod. They both take a hold of Tris’ tiny hands.
Clarke laughs. She doesn’t believe her wife would actually do that. “Yeah right, as if the commander would race to-” The rest of her words falter as Lexa already makes a sprint for it, followed by Anya and Jake who are trying to swing Tris along with them. “Hey! Wait for me!” She runs after them. “How rude! I wasn’t ready!”
Octavia falls into a fit of laughter as she sees Lexa making a sprint to their table, followed by Anya, Jake, Tris and Clarke. She gently nudges her husband with her elbow to get his attention.
Lincoln and the twins look up to see what is making Octavia laugh so much. Lincoln raises an eyebrow at the sight of the commander running with her little family. Well that is… new. That’s not something he would see every day. It makes him smile.
Lexa slows down a bit so Anya, Jake and Tris can arrive at their table first. She arrives at their table after them and Clarke is the last to arrive.
As they sit down, Clarke is trying to catch her breath. “That’s not fair, Lex. You let our children win and not me.” She tries to pout a little.
“You already won my heart, Clarke.”
“Alright you sap, where’s that cake?” Clarke looks at their table.
Bakers quickly bring cakes to their table, all in different sizes and shapes.
Clarke picks up a chocolate cake. “Hey, Lex. Would you like some of this?” She asks as sweetly as possible.
Lexa eyes her wife warily. She’s up to no good. “Yes, I would love some.” She offers Clarke a small smile.
Clarke grins and pushes the chocolate cake in her wife’s face. “There you go, my love.” She wipes up a bit with her finger and puts it in her mouth. “Mhm, delicious.”
Anya, Aurora and Artigas laugh. Tris giggles while she looks at her mother.
Lincoln is like a frozen statue, unsure of how to react to this.
Octavia stares at Clarke and Lexa, mouth agape. She can’t believe Clarke just did that. “Oooh someone is in trouble.” She says as Lexa stands up and hoovers over Clarke.
Lexa takes two cakes into her hands and smacks them in her wife’s face. “Sweet revenge.” She swipes her index finger across Clarke’s cheek, scooping up some of the cake and puts it in her mouth. “Very sweet.”
‘FOOD FIGHT!” Raven shouts from her table.
People begin to throw their cakes, rather than eating them. Lexa definitely blames her wife for this, she started this.
The bakers scream like little girls as they see their cakes flying through the air.
Luna walks up to the commander’s table. Before she can sit down, cake is already being thrown at her by Lexa. “Oh that does it.” She glares at Lexa. “I’m going to get you, Lexa.” She tackles Lexa down and tickles her. “This reminds me of old times.” When she was growing up in Polis with Lexa, she tickled her a lot. At least when Titus wasn’t on their heels about it.
Lexa laughs from all the tickling. “It reminds me of old times as well.” She remembers how Luna would always tickle her at any opportunity she had. “Not the food fight, of course.” She adds to make clear she’s not talking about that, even though Luna probably knows that.
Everyone in Polis is being carefree as cake flies through the air. The grounders never had a food fight before. Since the Skaikru has landed, a lot has changed.
Now that Clarke and Lexa are distracted by the food fight, Anya takes Jake’s hand to introduce him better to the girl who has a crush on him.
Jake smiles shyly as he finds out who the girl is that likes him. He has seen her many times when the nightbloods were sparring. His mommy thinks he’s too young because he’s eight, so she always acts weird when Anya brings it up.
The young natblida is still recovering a bit from the encounter with the enemies. She had been brought to the medical bay in Polis, along with the twins.
Anya smiles at her and gently pushes Jake towards her. “My brother is a bit shy, but I think he likes you too.” She says. “He has hearteyes for you, like our mother has hearteyes for our mommy.”
Jake opens his mouth and pushes Anya to shut her up. He shakes his head and stomps his foot. He does not have hearteyes.
“Pssh come on, Jake.” Anya has seen the way her little brother had looked at the girl many times. “I know you like her. Go have a walk with her or something, she likes you too.”
“Hi, Jake.” Melina waves at him.
Jake’s cheeks flush. He holds his hand out to Melina and smiles as she slips her hand in his.
Anya walks back to her table and plops down next to her mommies. “Jake has hearteyes for Melina.” She announces shamelessly as she takes a cup with water to drink.
Clarke snaps out of her distraction from the food fight to look at Anya. “Did you hear that, Lex?” She looks at her wife for support.
“Yes, I hear how our daughter is sneaky, like you.”
“Oh look, Lex.” Clarke points at a cake. “This one has got your name written all over it.”
“I do not see any name written on-”
Clarke throws the cake at her wife and laughs.
Octavia holds her hand up to high five Clarke. “Nice one, Clarke.” She laughs as Lexa’s face is covered with cake.
“That’s what she gets for sassing me.”
Anya sees Yuki sitting alone a bit in the distance. She’s not sure how she should feel. When she thinks about Yuki, she thinks about the betrayal and the natblidas that are gone forever. She also thinks about what Yuki did to help her. It’s complicated.
“Hey.” Clarke rests her hand on top of Anya’s. “Have you talked to Yuki yet?” She can see how Anya has been staring at Yuki.
“Not really.” Anya shrugs. “It’s not nice what she did.”
“There are certain things that Yuki didn’t know about. It wasn’t easy for her to have a mother who didn’t love her and who pushed her around all the time.”
“She never told me, mommy. I thought she had no parents.”
Clarke caresses Anya’s cheek. “I know, baby, I know.” She whispers softly.
“What should I do?”
Clarke places one hand against Anya’s chest. “Do what you feel in there, what your heart tells you.” She points her index finger at her daughter’s head. “Don’t worry so much about what’s in there.”
Anya sighs and leans on the table. “Mother betrayed you once, at the mountain. How did you overcome that?” She has heard enough stories from others.
Clarke is slightly startled. She didn’t expect this. “People do what they think is best for their people. When your mother betrayed me at the mountain, she was saving twelve clans. Back then the sky people were not a part of your mother’s coalition. It hurt when she left, but deep down I knew that she was doing what was best for others. What Yuki did, she did what her mother wanted her to do, what her people wanted from her. She must have thought she was doing what was best as well. Sometimes people make bad choices, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad people. I overcame your mother’s betrayal by seeing it for what it is. In the end, I still survived and your mother was right there to help me through everything that was hurting.” She hopes her explanation is not too complex for her ten year old. Anya will be eleven soon, but she’s still a little girl.
Anya places her head against her mother’s chest and listens to her words.
“After what Yuki did, she was there for you. She realized that what she had done was wrong and she wanted to protect you.” Clarke strokes Anya’s hair. “Even though you feel betrayed, you survived. You’re here and Yuki is here. If you want, you can get through this together, but you don’t have to. You could talk to her and hear what she has to say, unless you don’t want that.”
Lexa has overheard their conversation. She stands up and takes Anya’s hand to speak privately with her for a moment. When they’re far enough away from the others, she kneels down to be at eyelevel with her.
“I know you are hurt.” Lexa begins sadly. “You are young and still have so much to learn. I wish you would not have to learn this yet. In fact, I wish you would never have to learn this.” She doesn’t want to see Anya in any pain. “Yuki caused you pain. You did not think she would betray all of us. You trusted her. I want you to know that betraying someone you love hurts a lot as well.” She knows what that’s like. “The things Yuki has done after Kira saw you, she did that to make amends, to try and fix what she had broken. If you talk to her and give her a chance to share her side, you will know she is hurt too. Sometimes people carry a burden, a responsibility. Yuki was tied down to her mother.”
“What happened when you betrayed mommy?”
“I broke my own heart when I betrayed her.”
Anya tries to understand her mother’s words. “What happened after that when you saw mommy again?”
“I chose her, and from that day on, I was always choosing her.”
Anya’s lip is trembling. “Do you think Yuki chose me when she… when she killed her own mother? She told Kira that she had told her not to hurt me and that she didn’t listen. She killed her because she was going to hurt me.” Tears escape from her eyes.
Lexa gently wipes her daughter’s tears away. She wishes she could absorb Anya’s pain. “I do not know everything about Yuki. What I do know is that she loves you.” She has no doubt about that.
“I think I’ll go talk to her.”
Anya slumps down on the ground next to Yuki. It’s silent where they are sitting.
Yuki has her knees pulled up under her chin, her arms tightly wrapped around her legs.
Anya places a hand on Yuki’s back. “Tell me. I will listen.” She whispers.
It’s silent for a while. Yuki stretches her legs out in front of her. She stares at the ground.
“When my mother told me I had to sneak out, she wanted me to bring her Tris. I couldn’t do that. Tris was sleeping and I was not going to steal her away. Jake and the natblidas snuck outside with me. I never thought… what happened wasn’t supposed to happen. My mother never told me anyone would be killed. She has always been mean, always pushing me around and punishing me. When you were in her tent and she was going to hurt you, I couldn’t let her hurt you.”
Anya takes Yuki’s hands in hers. “My mommies haven’t told anyone that you were the traitor. They told people the traitor is dead. Jake and I are the only others who know it was you.” She squeezes Yuki’s hand. “I won’t tell anyone.”
Yuki turns to look at Anya. She’s shaking a bit when her eyes meet Anya’s. “Why not?” She expects Anya to be mad and to go tell everyone so she can be punished.
“Because you are hurt.” Anya understands now. She softly cups Yuki’s cheeks. “And because you are mine.”
They hug each other and let their tears flow.
Lexa kneels down next to them after a while. She holds her hand out to Anya. Her daughter wraps herself around her. She winds her right arm around Anya. She holds her other arm out for Yuki.
Yuki is confused. Why would the commander hold her arm out to her? She doesn’t deserve that. Hesitantly she stands up.
Lexa wraps her left arm around Yuki. She bounces Anya and Yuki on her hips and walks back to their table.
Clarke smiles at them. “Ah our family is complete now. Sit down.” She taps the spot next to her.
Lexa gently lowers the girls so they can sit.
Anya smiles and looks around the table. She sees her mommies, her brother, her sister, auntie Octavia, uncle Lincoln, auntie Raven, the twins, Ronan, Abby, Kane, Aden, the other natblidas and her girlfriend who is sitting next to her.
Raven laughs as spaghetti is being placed on the table. “Aren’t we doing this all in the wrong order? We just had cake. Isn’t desert supposed to be after dinner?”
Clarke winks. “Yeah, desert comes after dinner.” She looks at her wife, whose cheeks are turning a dark shade of red.
“And you say I’m bad.” Raven rolls her eyes at her friend. “Gee, Clarke.”
“Technically we did not eat any cake.” Lexa points out truthfully. “We threw the cake.”
Octavia holds her thumb up. “Best cake ever.” She grins as she sees a chocolate smudge on Lincoln’s face. “You still got a little over there.” She licks her finger and gets it for him.
“That is entirely your fault.” Lincoln replies. “You threw three cakes at me.”
“Um no, I threw two, our twins threw the third.”
“It was teamwork.” Aurora says proudly. “Right, Artigas?”
“Yup, we used our twin powers.”
Octavia laughs. “I’ll use my tickle powers.” She bends her fingers and tickles them.
“Ufheda, the tickle monster.” Raven taunts. “Oh hey guys, I made something special for tonight, you’re all going to love this.”
“Oh no.” Clarke replies. She knows Raven. “What are you going to blow up now?”
“Who says I’m going to blow something up?” Raven feigns hurt. “Nah, I made something much better.”
Octavia looks at the others. “Are you all thinking what I’m thinking?”
“If you’re thinking what the nearest exit is, then yes.” Clarke replies dryly. “We could make a run for the gates.” She suggests.
“Have I ever told you how much I love you both?” Raven asks sarcastically. “Cuz it’s a lot, in case you were wondering.”
Lexa looks at Raven. “What did you make for tonight?” She asks curiously.
Raven runs away to grab a few things. When she has gathered everything, she clears her throat. She has to shout a few times to get everyone’s attention.
“People of Polis, I salute you!” Raven laughs and then goes on. “No wait, I have a surprise. Okay, don’t freak out! It’s not a weapon, I swear! It’s something to enjoy!”
Clarke gasps as she sees what Raven is doing. “Is that… are those… fireworks?” She hopes Raven won’t burn a village down or something.
Octavia shares Clarke’s concerned look and crosses her fingers.
The fireworks shoot into the sky and burst out in various colors. The grounders are startled at the first one, but eventually relax as more follow, showing them every color they can think off.
Raven grabs a bottle of moonshine. She points up at the sky. “Now that,” she takes a swig from the moonshine. “And this is how you have a good celebration.”
Lexa watches in awe at the colors. She has always seen the night sky as beautiful, with the moon and the stars, but what Raven created is stunning. That thing her wife calls fireworks. She has never seen anything like it.
Raven is pleased that everyone seems to enjoy her latest handiwork.
Octavia leans on Raven’s shoulder as they watch the firework. “Tell me something, Rae. Is there anything you can’t do?” She definitely wants to see fireworks more often.
Raven grins proudly. “I’m glad you like it, O.”
“Like? More like love.” Octavia kisses Raven’s cheek. “It’s beautiful, babe.”
“I agree with O.” Clarke chimes in. She leans on Raven’s other shoulder. “This is fab.”
“Fab?” Raven snorts. “Well if you agree with O, where the hell is my kiss?”
Clarke kisses Raven’s cheek. “Are you happy now?”
“Ecstatic.” Raven is happy, for sure. “I was thinking, I could teach the kids how to make fireworks and-”
“No.” Clarke and Octavia say in unison, cutting Raven off.
“Okay fine, then my son will be the only one to learn.”
Clarke laughs. “I bet Roan can’t wait until you teach Ronan that.” She teases.
“Yeah, he’ll be so thrilled to hear that.” Octavia adds.
Raven waves them off. “I’ll bribe him.” She’ll find a way to convince Roan. “If it doesn’t work, I’ll just teach Ronan behind his back.”
Roan speaks up from the table. “I heard you, Raven.”
Raven turns around. “It was all Clarke’s and Octavia’s idea.” She points at them. “Those two are never up to any good.”
Clarke and Octavia both tackle Raven down and tickle her.
Raven squeals. “Reinforcements!” She shouts loudly.
The children run up to them and tickle all of them.
“That’s not how reinforcements are supposed to work.” Raven complains. “Little devils, I will tickle you all back.”
Anya sticks her tongue out. “You love us, auntie Raven.”
“Shh, stop being so right all the time, mini Lexa.”
Anya tilts her chin up and fixes her cloak with one hand. “You are jealous because I have style.” Her voice is bubbly and youthful.
Raven laughs. “Okay now you sound like Clarke.”
Clarke rolls her eyes. “I don’t sound like that, Rae.” She retorts.
Lexa watches as they roll on the ground, tickling each other. Now that is interesting. She can’t watch for long when her wife pulls her down. She lands on top of Clarke and Octavia.
Clarke chuckles lightly. “Enjoyed your landing?” She asks teasingly.
“Not as much as I enjoyed yours.”
“Aw come on, Lex.” Clarke groans with a smile on her face. “You’re such a sap.”
“You asked, I answered.”
“Shh shut up and kiss me.”
Lexa leans down and kisses her wife. Their lips melt perfectly together.
“Um guys hellooo.” Octavia whispers. “We’re right here.”
Lexa pulls back and looks at Octavia. “Hello, Octavia.” She replies with amusement.
“Oh shut up, Lexa.”
Lexa laughs halfheartedly. “I will not be kissing you, Octavia.”
Octavia pushes Lexa down. “If it wasn’t for Lincoln, I’d say that’s a shame.” She gives Lexa a wink.
Clarke doesn’t want to hear that. “Oh my god, O, you’re talking about my wife.”
“Lexa is hot.”
“Amen to that.” Raven adds. “Not as hot as O though.”
“Awe thanks babe.” Octavia kisses Raven’s cheek. “You’re the sweetest.”
Clarke rolls her eyes. “You two disgust me.” She’s laughing too much to be taken seriously.
When Clarke and Lexa get up, they step aside for a moment with Yuki.
Yuki flinches when they both crouch down in front of her. She’s worried they will still punish her or even kill her. The commander and wanheda can be very intimidating. She’s not sure which one of them she should fear the most.
“Nobody is going to hurt you.” Clarke assures Yuki with a soft voice. She doesn’t move closer, she doesn’t want to scare Yuki more than she already has been scared.
“If you ever want to talk, you know where to find us.” Lexa whispers.
Yuki cautiously meets the commander’s eyes. “Really…?” She can’t believe that nothing bad has happened yet. They’re not hitting her or stabbing her like her mother would always do.
Lexa holds her hand out for Yuki, but she doesn’t push anything. “Yes, you belong with us.”
“Nobody will hurt me?” Yuki finds that hard to believe.
“I promise.”
Yuki carefully takes Lexa’s hand, ready to pull back if she would make a move to hurt her. “If I want to talk… I can?” Her voice sounds small. “Even… even at night?”
“Even if I am in a meeting.” Lexa replies earnestly. “You can seek me out and talk, or we can sit in silence together. Whichever you are comfortable with.” She can tell Yuki has been through a lot. The scars Yuki physically has aren’t her only scars.
Yuki is still wary. “What’s the catch?”
“There is no catch, sweetie.” Clarke assures.
Yuki lets herself sink into their hug. This is what it must be like to have loving parents.
More food ends up on the ground rather than in their mouths. The spaghetti quickly ends up flying through the air.
Jake smiles as his face is covered with tomato sauce. He shyly ducks his head away when Melina kisses him.
Anya pinches Jake’s cheek. “You’re so cute, little brother.” She coos
Jake swats her hand away. He’ll have to get used to his sister teasing him.
Raven sits down next to Anya and Yuki. She wraps her arms around a very surprised Yuki. “Can you believe that this little cutie is my niece?” She ruffles Yuki’s hair. “Gotta love the kids.”
When Raven lets go, Yuki stares at her. She knows now that her mother was not an only child. Roan is her uncle. That would make Raven her aunt.
“You can call me auntie if you want.” Raven says to Yuki. “It’s up to you.”
Raven was shocked when she heard that Yuki was Kira’s kid. That woman really was insane. Clarke and Lexa told her how Yuki was a prisoner and how she was captured in the tent, like Jake. It’s crazy how Kira stabbed Yuki, when she heard that it was a pity that Kira was already dead, otherwise she would have killed her. Yuki is a sweet kid. She must have gone through a lot to have a mother like that.
Yuki smiles up at Raven. “I would like that.” It feels nice to have a family who won’t hurt her. She is grateful that Anya, Jake and their mothers haven’t told anyone she was the traitor.
Anya takes Yuki’s hand to offer her comfort, to let her know that it’s okay.
Lexa and Clarke exchange a look with each other, after seeing and hearing the interaction between Raven and Yuki. Their people know that Yuki was Kira’s daughter, and that Kira was very cruel, even towards Yuki. They know Yuki killed Kira when she was about to hurt Anya, after Kira had already stabbed her arm.
Octavia and Abby are bickering about who gets to hold Tris.
Lexa lifts Tris up and hands her to Luna, who is not bickering.
Luna smiles brightly at Tris. “She is beautiful, Lexa.” She caresses Tris’ cheek.
Lexa smiles proudly. “She is beautiful, like her mother.”
Clarke smiles at her wife. “You’re being a sap again, Lex.” She loves Lexa so much.
“If this is your code again to tell me that you love, I want you to know that I love you too.”
“Auntie Luna.” Anya tugs gently at Luna’s sleeve. “I want to hold Tris next.”
“Hey wait a minute.” Clarke cuts in. “Since when did Luna turn into auntie Luna?”
Luna is as surprised as Clarke is.
Lexa shakes her head. She has nothing to do with this.
“Because Luna is like a sister for mother.” Anya explains. “Like auntie Raven and auntie O are sisters to mommy.”
Clarke laughs. “Well Luna, welcome to our family.” If the children select someone, there’s no way back. “It looks like you’re their aunt as well now.”
Luna looks at Clarke and then at Lexa. “Lexa?”
Lexa nods and smiles. “Welcome to our family.” She doesn’t mind having a sister.
Anya yawns when she follows her mothers to their room. Jake is walking next to her with Tris in his arms who seems to be sound asleep.
Clarke takes Tris over from Jake, so she can put her in her crib. “Goodnight, my baby girl.” She tucks her in and kisses her forehead.
Lexa leans down. “Reshop, ai strik houpgeda.” Goodnight, my little rainbow. She kisses Tris’ cheek tenderly.
Jake crawls into his bed. He is tired. It has been a long night. He had a lot of fun. After the food fight with the spaghetti he was lying down and looking up at the stars with Melina. He played with her and other children. The children in Polis are sweet. He has many friends. His friends know that he’s different because he can’t talk, but nobody bullies him.
“Goodnight, my little man.” Clarke caresses his cheek and kisses his forehead. “Sweet dreams.”
Lexa leans in to kiss Jake’s forehead. “Reshop, ai strik skaifaya.” Goodnight, my little star.
Anya hugs her mothers before crawling into her bed. She had a good night. It was great to sit at the table with her family. They laughed so much. She loves everyone in her family.
“Goodnight, my princess.” Clarke kisses Anya’s forehead. “Sleep well.”
“Goodnight, mommy.”
Lexa kisses Anya’s forehead. “Reshop, ai strik skaikrasha.” Goodnight, my little storm. She whispers softly.
“Reshop, nomon.” Goodnight, mother.
Clarke and Lexa make their way to their bed when they hear a soft knock on their doors.
Lexa offers her wife an apologetic look, before walking towards the doors. She opens them to see who it is.
Mordecai is standing in front of the doors with Yuki.
Yuki is staring at the floor. “Ai nou na rid op.” I cannot sleep. She whispers.
Lexa dismisses Mordecai with a flick of her wrist. She holds her hand out for Yuki and lets her enter.
Anya smiles when she sees Yuki next to her bed. She moves over to create some space for her girlfriend. Yuki has been her best friend for five years. She knows Yuki has been hurting a lot and she tries to understand as much as she can. It’s painful to know the things that Yuki’s mother did to Yuki. Her mothers would never do anything like that, nobody she knows would ever do that.
Yuki cuddles up with Anya.
Lexa places a soft kiss on Yuki’s forehead. “Reshop, goufa.” Goodnight, child. She walks away to go to bed with her wife.
Clarke is blinking a few tears away. “I love you, Lexa.” She pulls her wife close so she can kiss her.
“I love you too, Clarke.”
Clarke gently pushes her wife down on the furs. She kisses Lexa’s jaw, teasingly slow and makes her way to kiss her wife’s lips. Once their lips meet, she lightly bites Lexa’s bottom lip and sucks it between her teeth. The soft whimper that is escaping from her wife’s mouth makes her want to kiss Lexa more. She wants to melt their bodies together as one.
Lexa parts her lips just a tad, to see if her wife will seek entrance. Her eyes are fluttered shut as Clarke’s tongue slips into her mouth, twirling slowly around her own. She responds by tangling her tongue around her wife’s, while weaving her fingers through Clarke’s hair.
Clarke’s hands move down to the hem of her wife’s nightgown. She rides the fabric up and lets her hands rest on Lexa’s stomach.
Lexa takes a shuddering breath as her wife’s supple skin is touching hers. She presses her fingers against Clarke’s scalp and urges her to deepen their kiss. When her wife pulls away to catch her breath, she kisses Clarke’s neck. She works her way up to her wife’s earlobe, gently nibbling.
Clarke bites her bottom lip to hold back a moan. Her wife always knows how to use her body and what to do. She can never get enough of Lexa, her beautiful wife. Her family is perfect.
