Meet the Delinquents
Leif’s crying carried into the living room, causing Clarke to jog out the room to check on him. Indra followed behind her, eager to she her grandchildren. Lexa barely had time to sit down before Clarke, stumbled out of the room, slinging on her jacket. “Grab your keys” Clarke demanded, rushing into the bedroom. Lexa ran after her, grabbing her keys and throwing on some clothes.
“What’s wrong? Where are we going?”
“Hospital. He’s got a fever” Lexa threw on her shirt and jacket before going into the twins’ room. Indra was rocking an irritated Leif in her arms with a fan blowing on them. Lexa took their car seats and snapped in Arryn, who was still asleep. “Mom? Leif has a fever we’re taking him to the hospital. Ok, I’ll meet you guys there” Clarke said, speed walking into the room. Indra handed Leif to her then she strapped him in.
“It’s just an ear infection. It’s not severe so he doesn’t need any antibiotics. Give him some ibuprofen, only for his fever. If his ear is bothering him, press a warm towel to it. If that doesn’t work, you can get ear drops. We gave him some Tylenol and he went straight to sleep when it started working, so he should be good to go” The doctor smiled softly before leaving the room. Clarke let out a breath of relief, rubbing Leif’s stomach. Lexa kissed her temple as she got up from her seat.
“I’ll sign his papers, so we can go” Lexa said, carrying Arryn out of the room. A few moments after Lexa left, Jake popped his head through the door.
“How’s he feeling?”
“Well enough for him to go back to sleep”
“Well, his fan club is waiting to see him”
“Send them in” Clarke smiled, watching her friends and family pile into the room, carrying teddy bears and balloons in their hands. “You didn’t need to buy all that”
“We know but it’s better than coming empty handed” Wells replied.
“I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. He's not even my kid and he's breaking into my pockets” Raven commented, sitting down in the seat Lexa was in. Grandma Woods walked in and stopped right in front of Raven.
“Elderly first” was all she said to get Raven out of her seat. “Thank you. So Clarke, how long have you known my granddaughter?”
“A little over a year. We met at a party”
“And when were my great grandchildren born?” Lexa walked into the room as her grandmother spoke.
“Can you not grill my fiancée while I'm out of the room?” Lexa asked, passing Arryn over to Gustus.
“If I do that she might not be as nervous when I do grill her. Gus, let me see that one”
“Her name is Arryn, grandma, and she doesn't like when people she doesn't know hold her”
“She'll get over it” Grandma Woods said, beckoning Gustus closer. Arryn squirmed as he passed her over to her great grandmother. Tears started to build her eyes as she looked for Clarke or Gustus to take her back. She reached out for Clarke, causing the blonde to take her, laying her on her shoulder towards her great grandmother. Arryn stared at Grandma Woods as she pushed her curls out of her face. “You are as mean as Lexa was to people when she was a baby, but you don't have a fit when someone touches your hair” Arryn smiled as if she knew what she saying.
“They said we can go” Lexa announced as the nurse came in. Clarke nodded, getting up from her seat. Arryn gripped on to her shirt when she tried to pass her over to Lexa.
“I guess you're sticking with me today, huh?” Clarke asked Arryn. Arryn laid her head back down on Clarke's shoulder. “That answers that. Can you get him?” Lexa nodded, lifting Leif out of his bed. He woke up as Lexa bent down to get his car seat, looking for Clarke. Clarke gave him his pacifier but he spit it out, reaching for her. “What is up with you two today?” Clarke asked as Lexa put him on her other shoulder.
The couple had gotten into a routine over the last few weeks. Lexa worked at her office in the loft everyday except Wednesdays when she would watch in on Gustus’s meetings for an hour or two. Lexa had talked to Clarke about working on her art more and selling her paintings so she wouldn’t get bored at home. She had been meaning to talk to Clarke about getting a house and the wedding planning.
Lexa walked into their bedroom, smiling at the sight before her. Clarke was in the middle of their bed with Arryn asleep across her stomach and Leif asleep on her chest with his arms around her neck. Clarke smiled over at Lexa as she walked further into the room. Lexa leaned over their son, pressing a kiss to the blonde’s lips. The brunette crawled into the bed, cuddling into her fiancée's side. “I think we should get a puppy” Lexa stated. Clarke turned her head to face Lexa, raising her eyebrow. “A Siberian Husky to go running with me”
“He or she would still need a lot of space to keep them occupied”
“We should get a lot of space then. Let’s buy a house”
“Why couldn’t you just say we should get a house?”
“I also want a dog. Plus we need the space for both cars”
“Both cars?” Lexa nodded, pulling the keys to her car out of her back pocket.
“Mount Weather gave me a company car. It’s not much compared to my Maserati but I think they’d get offended if I didn’t use it. And there is no one else I trust with my precious car but you” Clarke reached for the keys, sitting them on the closest nightstand to her.
“So you picked out a house?”
“No, not without you but I have looked at some. I checked for school districts, proximity to work and both of our parents house, and a huge backyard”
“How many bedrooms?”
“Six and up. You know, we have to make sure we have enough space for our future football team” Lexa mused, kissing Clarke’s cheek.
“You’re insane if you think I’m going to be popping out anything even close to a basketball team roster let alone a football team”
“You’re no fun. What about eight?” Clarke snorted, shaking her head. “Six?”
“Nope”
“Six and that’s the lowest I’ll go”
“Four and that’s what you’re going to take”
“Deal. Just so you know, I would’ve gone with just two”
“And I would’ve gone five” Arryn stretched, waking up from her nap. She stared off into space before lifting her head up, searching for one of her mommies. She grunted when Lexa laid her down between the two of them. Lexa crawled down, lifting Arryn’s onesie, tickling her sides before blowing raspberries on her tummy. Arryn wiggled on the bed, laughing while trying to push Lexa’s head away. Lexa got off the bed, raising Arryn in the air like Simba from the Lion King. “Put her down before she spits up on you” Clarke said through her grin.
“She is a warrior like her mothers. No one tells Heda or Wanheda what to do. She must learn in the ways of the Woods. Come, Simba, you must be changed” Lexa said, kissing Arryn’s hair before taking her to her changing table. Lexa carried Arryn back into the room, sporting her new Grandpa is my biggest fan onesie. “Your dad called me. Aden wants me to teach him how to drive” Lexa told her, sitting criss cross on the edge of the bed with Arryn between her legs.
“First, you should send a picture of her in that to him and Gustus. He’ll need after what happened Sunday. Second, why didn’t he ask me?”
“Well it might have something to do with the way you acted when he had a date”
“Pregnancy hormones, so technically it was you fault. You knocked me up”
“Clarke!” Lexa gasped, covering Arryn’s ears. “Our children are here” Arryn grabbed Lexa’s hands, holding them up to her ears. Clarke grabbed her phone.
“Smile” Lexa beamed, letting Clarke snap the picture to send to their fathers.
“Our mothers will want one for them too”
“We should actually print out all their pictures. We can do it tomorrow then we could check out some houses. I guess I can trudge all the way here to see you early”
“I’m sure that long walk from your office to our bedroom is killer”
“The things I do for love”
“I waiting on a call from the doctor at around noon so it’ll have to be after that”
“Everything okay?”
“Routine check up”
“So Jackson was trying to hide some reports from me today? He said you stopped by but wouldn’t say why. Care to explain before I out you” Abby greeted Clarke through the phone.
“You know, I’m pretty sure that this is against HIPAA. Did he tell you?” Clarke countered.
“He didn’t so I’m going to assume since you didn’t shoot me down right away the results were positive. My next question is how”
“I have a theory that Lexa’s sperm is a condom kryptonite, because they never work. And I can’t take birth control because I’m breastfeeding so here we are” Lexa glanced at Clarke with wide eyes from the driver’s seat.
“Are you sure you can handle three?”
“I figure that the twins will be one by the time this one is born and if they sleep like they do now the late night crying won’t bother them” Clarke paused before breaking out into laughter. “ And I’m totally kidding. I’m not pregnant unless you found something in that report Jackson didn’t . I am serious about Lexa’s swimmers so if you have any recommendations. Leif’s blood type matches one for a newborn in the NICU and Jackson wanted to see if he had mine so I could donate blood for his surgery”
“Why would you do that? That’s not funny” Lexa pulled into the driveway of the fifth house they visited today.
“Sorry mom. I gotta go. Love you”
“Keep an open mind for this one. It’s my second favorite. And it takes two people to have children”
“I always have an open mind”
“You didn’t like the last house because didn’t know what year it was built”
“She knew; she just didn’t want to tell me. It was suspicious” Clarke out towards the house. “Lexa, this place is huge. How much is it?”
“Don’t worry about that yet. Do you like it?”
“I think it’s too big. I know you want a big family but I would like to my kids every once and awhile”
“There is one more I like and the school near it are the best I’ve seen”
“That is a terrible attempt at reverse psychology”
“This is it” Clarke decided. Lexa looked away from Arryn.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. This is the one” Lexa leaned down to kiss Clarke, feeling a small hand push her away. The blonde smiled, watching Leif push Lexa away from her.
“I can’t kiss your mommy?” Leif turned his head, laying it back on Clarke’s chest. “I guess that’s a no. I’ll get one later. I’ll go talk to the realtor”
“Are you excited, buddy?” Clarke cooed, running her hand through the curls that had already started to reform on Leif’s head.
“Ah!” Leif babbled and gurgled, playing with Clarke’s necklace.
“Clarke, can you come here for a second?” Lexa hollered. Clarke followed the sound of her voice into what would be the living room. Arryn had spit up all over Lexa’s shirt. “Can you get her so I can take this off?” Lexa gave Arryn to Clarke to take off her shirt, leaving her in only a tank top. Clarke’s phone starts to buzz in her back pocket and she looks to Lexa for help. Lexa folds her shirt, earning an eye roll from Clarke before answering her fiancée's phone.
“Hello?”
“Clarke?” Harper asked.
“No, this is her fiancée”
“Fiancée? When did she get a fiancée?”
“That hurt” Lexa mumbled, then put her on speaker.
“Who is it?” Clarke asked.
“I don’t know but they don’t know me. So I hope you haven’t talked to them in a while” Clarke smiled, trading Arryn for her phone.
“Hello”
“Clarke!”
“Harper?”
“How are you doing, cos? I’m visiting for fall break and I need a place to stay. You think your roommates will be okay with me crashing on your couch?”
“Well, Leif and Arryn aren’t too keen for sharing and Lexa probably would’ve wanted a heads up”
“Who the fuck are Leif, Arryn, and Lexa? What happened to Octavia and Raven?”
“Language. Leif’s my son. Arryn’s my daughter. Lexa is my fiancée. Raven and Octavia share the apartment together now”
“What the hell, Clarke? Way to keep in touch”
“Sorry”
“Am I at least invited to the wedding?”
“Yes, we haven’t really started planning yet but I’ll make sure we send you an invitation”
“And the place to stay?” Clarke looked over to Lexa, receiving a nod.
“You can stay with us if Octavia and Raven say no, but keep in mind we have two infants”
“Thank you. When are you going to ask them?”
“As soon as I see them”
“Would that happen to be in about forty-five minutes?”
“No, why?”
“Please explain to me how this happened” Clarke demanded, watching Lexa load Harper’s luggage into their car.
“Well, my parents and I had a bit of a disagreement. One thing led to another and here I am” Harper explained.
“That doesn’t tell me anything. Kane would flip if he knew you were here right now and he’s going to find out” Harper snapped her head back towards Clarke. “Don’t look at me like that. My parents come see the twins at least twice a week and when they see you they’re going to ask why you’re here. Then when they find out, they won’t hesitate to call Kane”
“You gotta buy me some time” Lexa smiled sympathetically at Harper before getting back into the car.
“I called Octavia. She said you can stay with her and Raven but both of them have dates tonight and they won’t be home, so you’re staying with us for the night. With that being said, stay away from Raven. I know she hit on you the last time you were here”
“Okay, mom” Harper held her hands up in the air.
“Do you really want to get on my bad side?”
Lexa trailed soft kisses down Clarke’s neck. She draped one of Clarke’s legs over her hips, moving her hands to the blonde’s back. “Lex?” Lexa hummed against her skin. “Lexa” Lexa grazed her teeth over her fiancee’s pulse point. “I want to talk about the wedding”
“Go ahead” Clarke moaned, feeling Lexa push her erection against her thigh.
“You aren’t listening to me if you’re humping my leg”
“I’m a great multitasker. Very efficient. Two products of my multitasking are in the other room”
“The fact that we have twins is on me not you. Take a biology class”
“No wonder no one ever pats me on the balls to say good job” Clarke chuckled, pecking her lips. “I love your laugh”
“I’m sure it’s one of the reasons you asked me to marry you”
“No, it was your boobs” Lexa teased.
“That’s okay, I only said yes because of your ass”
“Really? I thought it was because of this” Lexa ground into Clarke’s center, watching the blue eyes he fell in love with roll to the back of her head.
“You’re playing with fire, Woods”
“Bring it, Griffin” Lexa pulled back, stripping herself of her beater before laying back down on top of Clarke.
“I love you”
“I love you too” Lexa professed, leaning down giving her fiancee a slow, passionate kiss. Lexa slipped her hands in Clarke’s shorts, rubbing her clit through the thin material. She pushed the fabric aside, wasting no time to thrust a single digits into the blonde’s silky folds. Lexa panted, gaping at Clarke as she rocked against her hand. Lexa added two more fingers, twisting and curling her fingers in and out of the blonde. Clarke arched her back off the bed when Lexa’s other hand traveled to her breasts, squeezing her. Lexa lifted Clarke’s shirt, attaching her mouth to the stiff bud. Lexa moaned as she tasted Clarke’s milk. Clarke’s body froze as her orgasm took over. “Was that?” Clarke nodded before she could finish. Clarke pulled Lexa into a bruising kiss as Lexa pulled out of her. Clarke groaned as Lexa licked her fingers clean.
“Your turn” Clarke pulled Lexa out of her pajama pants. Lexa tensed above Clarke as the blonde ran her thumb over her slit. Lexa jerked her hips forward, panting against Clarke’s lips. She started out with long, slow strokes until Lexa practically collapsed on her body. Clarke turned her on her side, increasing her speed.
“Wait” Lexa gasped, pushing Clarke’s hand away. Lexa rolled back on top of Clarke, resting their foreheads together. Lexa pulled down Clarke’s shorts completely, lining up at her entrance. Clarke wrapped her legs around Lexa’s waist, urging her forward. Leif's cries carried into the bedroom, causing Clarke to push Lexa off her. " I can't catch a break here"
"Sorry. That's what you get for changing the subject. He still could be feeling sick, can't risk it. Right now, he's first priority"
"Can we at least cuddle? Preferably while naked"
Lexa stretched, rolling out of bed. She could hear the twins snoring through the baby monitor. Clarke was still asleep with their sheets loosely hanging off her body. She trudged into the kitchen to make breakfast. Lexa froze, hearing the clatter of pots in the kitchen. Harper walked into the living room hearing Lexa stumble. Harper squealed, turning away from Lexa’s naked body. Lexa scrabbled back into their bedroom, running into Clarke. “I forgot she was here” Lexa argued, searching for any kind of clothing.
