Maybe

Last day of Finals Week

**Lexas POV**

“Are you nervous? Don’t be nervous. Fuck I’m nervous.”

Lexa sat down next to Clarke on her bed and began rubbing circles on her back, she wasn’t nearly as nervous as Clarke seemed to be.

“Relax babe, they took it well when you told them about us right?”

Clarke nodded and leaned to lay her head on her shoulder. She pressed a kiss to her head trying to comfort her.

“I think it was harder for my mom to hear I’m officially majoring in art.”

“If it helps I think you made the right decision.” Clarke stood up and placed herself between her legs, pressing a kiss to her lips.”

“You are biased, I mean you are in love with me, I could draw a stick figure and you would think it was amazing.”

Lexa shoved her shoulder making Clarke giggle. She loved that sound more than anything, she pulled her back towards her after a moment. “Well I bet it would be the best stick figure I have ever seen.”

Clarke pressed their lips together again, She couldn’t help but wrap her legs around the blonde to pull her in even closer, she would miss her over break. When Clarke pulled back she couldn’t help but pout a little.

“Definitely biased.”

When there was a knock on the door they both jumped and separated. Lexa stood while Clarke opened the door. She waited while Clarkes father picked her up and spun her around. They were cute, she saw her mother glance at her quickly but looked away when they made eye contact.

She hoped this wouldn’t be too bad. When Clarkes father put her down, he saw her standing there and walked over, “Lexa right?” She nodded and stuck out her hand.

He just looked at it and then back up to her face, she slowly put her hand down and glanced over to Clarke who was watching him with worried eyes.

What Lexa didn’t expect was for him to grab her and pull her into a hug, she just kind of stood there before realizing she should hug him back. “Thanks for taking care of my baby.” Lexa saw Clarke smiling wide over her fathers shoulder that she couldn’t help but smile too.

When he let go Clarke went and stood next to her grabbing her hand. “So these are my parents Abby and Jake Griffin.”

Lexa nodded and smiled at them both, “It is nice to meet both of you.”

“This is Lexa, my girlfriend.” Lexa watched Abbys face as Clarke said that last part, she looked down at their hands and nodded stepping forward. She stuck out her hand for her to shake and Lexa did.

“It’s nice to meet you Lexa, thank you for being there for Clarke,” She didn’t know what to say to that so she said nothing.

“All right girls how about we pack all of Clarkes stuff, and I take you all out to lunch before we hit the road?”

They all began bringing things down, Clarkes parents seemed surprised by how strong she was and slightly annoyed that instead of helping Clarke chose to just watch her, it was embarrassing.

They piled into the car, Abby watched them through the mirror, she felt her eyes on her the whole drive, she knew where Clarke got her staring from.

When they sat down Lexa felt seriously awkward Clarke and Abby were both staring at her and she didn’t want to feel rude by saying something, thankfully she didn’t have to.

“Will you two stop staring at the girl?” You are making her uncomfortable.” Abbys eyes widened and she lightly punched her husband on the shoulder. Clarke didn’t even blink.

Abby gave her an apologetic smile, “Sorry, I never thought.. well it never crossed my mind, Clarke ever being with a girl.” That had Clarke snap out of her staring and focus back on Abby.

“Mother…” Clarke used a warning tone, Lexa just patted Clarkes hand to tell her it was okay and nodded for Abby to continue.

Abby glanced at Clarke before continuing. “But she’s told me a lot about you, you are good for her I can tell, and to be frank Lexa, you are very beautiful I can tell why she likes you so much. ”

Lexa felt herself begin blushing which caused Abby to laugh, she was able to mutter out a quick thanks before Jake changed the subject to save her.

Lunch was quick and before she knew it it was time to say goodbye. Jake and Abby both hugged her goodbye letting her know she was very welcome to visit as much as she wanted over break. Saying goodbye to Clarke was hard, but  she knew she would see her in a couple of weeks.

She pressed a final kiss to her lips. “I love you Clarke Griffin.”

“I love you Lexa Woods. I’m going to miss you.” She smiled at the words, she watched as Clarke get into the car with tears in her eyes as it pulled away. She didn’t make it back to her room before her phone alerted her to a message.

Clarke: Maybe I already miss you.

**Three Weeks Later**

**Clarkes POV**

The bus ride hadn’t been too bad two and half hours, she spent most of it asleep. The driver announced that they would be pulling into the station.

Clarke: Pulling in.

She waited for a response but got none, she really hoped Lexa wouldn’t be late to pick her up. She looked out the window as the driver parked, it was so pretty out today, she was glad she decided to catch an early bus.

After she grabbed her bag, she walked out to the front to see if Lexa was there. She jumped when someone placed their hands on her eyes.  She smiled.

“Lexa, don’t play games just kiss me!” She spun around to try and catch Lexa off guard but jumped when she saw it was Raven instead.

Lexa was standing next to her smirking as Raven bent over clutching her stomach and laughing. Clarke went to say something when all of a sudden she was in Lexas arms. It felt like home. Lexa pulled back slightly and pressed their lips together. They stood like that for a bit just taking eachother in. It had felt like so long since they had seen eachother.

When they finally separated she realized Raven was gone, and she spotted Lincolns car. They walked over and Clarke said hi to Lincoln.

“How are you and O? She constantly texts and calls me about you.”

“We are good, I miss her like crazy but she is coming up next weekend, so I’m excited.”

Clarke nodded understanding, she squeezed Lexas hand, she didn’t ever want to let go.

She wasn’t nervous until they pulled into the driveway, she was going to meet Lexas parents for the first time. She just hoped it wouldn’t be too bad. Lexa kissed her quickly before they walked in and she took a deep breathe.

The house smelled amazing, they walked straight to the kitchen where they found a woman who looked so much like Lincoln it was amazing.

“Mom, Clarkes here.”  The woman turned around and smiled at her and stepped forward pressing a kiss to her cheek.

“It’s nice to meet you Clarke. I hope you are hungry.”

Clarke nodded enthusiastically she was and it looked just as good as it smelled.

“Lexa go show Clarke where to put her stuff your dad should be down in a bit.” Lexa nodded but stopped at her moms next question.

“Raven, is Yadi coming over?” Clarke made a confused face, who was that? She wanted to know even more when she saw the blush Raven was sporting. “Umm no, not today.”

Lexa burst out laughing at Raven who stuck the middle finger up as soon as Lexas mother turned away. “Lexa be nice to Raven.”

Lexa grabbed her and ran towards the stairs before Raven could reach her. She ran to a room and threw herself on her bed laughing.

“Who is Yadi?”

“No one Clarke.” She turned and saw Raven glaring at Lexa.

“It’s her girlfriend.”

“She is not my girlfriend!”

“Fine it’s the girl she wants to be her girlfriend!”

Raven huffed and looked at Clarke, “No sex on my bed Griffin.”

She turned to Lexa who stood up, “Raven has a bed?” She nodded and reached under her own bed pulling out a second from underneath.

“That’s so cool! Wait I’m sleeping in your room?” Lexa nodded with a small smile.

“I promised my mom you wouldn’t sleep on mine.” She emphasized the word sleep, making Clarke shiver. Lexa noticed ofcourse and smiled pulling her close, they sat on the lower bed.  Lexa leaned in and kissed her, she doesn’t know if Lexa meant for it to be so deep but she didn’t complain.

When Lexa moved her lips to her neck she lost all words completely. While Lexa spoke between each kiss. “ I… missed….. you….. so…. Much…beautiful.” By the time she said beautiful she had Clarke on her back and was hovering over her.

But then the door burst open and Lexa jumped falling onto the floor. Clarke looked to see Raven standing there smirking.

“I said not on my bed.” She turned to walk away,” Oh yeah foods ready.”

Lexa grabbed the pillow and threw it at the door. She huffed and stood up grabbing Clarkes hand to pull her off the bed. “Remind me to lock the door tonight.”

When they got down stairs Lexas father was dancing around the kitchen twirling her mother around. Clarke couldn’t help but smile and laugh, which caught his attention.

He paused and stepped towards her, “you must be Clarke, this one can’t shut up about you.” Clarke smiled at Lexas blush before looking back at her father.

“It’s nice to meet you Mr. Woods.”

He smiled, “Call me Gustus, tell me Clarke would you like to dance?” Before she could say anything he grabbed her hand and began twirling her around the kitchen, she couldn’t help but laugh the entire time. For such a big man he was so kind and soft.

When he was done with her he turned to Lexa who began shaking her head and backing up, Clarke could tell she was trying her hardest not to smile. Her eyes widened as Lexa turned and began to sprint around the entire house with her father chasing her.

He caught back up to her in the kitchen when Raven and Lincoln cornered her, “Traitors!” Before she could say anything else her father grabbed her and began spinning her around as fast as was possible. She laughed the entire time.

Clarke looked at her in wonder, she had never seen her look so peaceful or so happy. It was amazing. While this was happening Lexas mother walked over to her and began speaking.

“She loves you very much, I thought her and Costia would last, but you make her happier than she ever did and for that I am grateful. Don’t hurt her.”

Clarke nodded her head without looking at her, “I love her more than anything, I will do everything I can to make her happy.”

“All right you two time to eat enough playing around!”

**Six Months Later**

**Lexas POV**

She laid in her bed with headphones on trying to finish up her final paper of the semester, she couldn’t believe she only had one semester left of her undergrad, and then on to law school. She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She turned to see it was Clarke, she took out her headphones.

“Whats up babe?”

Clarke looked so excited it was adorable. “I finished my final drawing come look.” With that she hopped off the bed and ran into her room, well her art room, She spent every night in Lexas room.

Over summer, the decided they wanted to live together but not alone, so they along with Raven and Octavia got an apartment just like the one Lexa had the year before, it worked.

While they spent every night together, her and Clarke having separate rooms helped them have some time apart if they needed it. The only down fall was having to keep their sex noises to a minimum or Raven would start yelling for them to shut up from down the hall.

Lexa got up and made her way to the room next to hers, it was a mess as usual with art stuff and clothes thrown around everywhere. She walked to Clarkes desk and her breathe was gone instantly.

It was her. She seemed to be standing with a bed sheet covering her butt, her legs and back fully exposed, her hair was over one shoulder while she glanced over the other as if she was turning to see who was watching her. Lexa took a step closer noting that on the back of her neck Clarke had drawn a broken infinity symbol.

Clarke had done amazing work before,  but this, it was amazing like nothing she had ever seen before. She turned to Clarke who had been watching her nervously. “What do you think?”

“Clarke this is…. Wow. I don’t even know what to say, it is your best work honestly, you chose right when you chose art.” Clarke smiled at her brightly .

“Well I have a beautiful muse.” Lexa rolled her eyes but kept smiling, and looked back at the picture.

“I want that tattoo.” Clarkes eyes widened.

“Really?”  Lexa nodded.

“I have always thought about getting it, but this has definitely convinced me.”

“I think you would look so sexy with tattoos.”

“Maybe I will.” She winked at Clarke before going back to her room to finish writing.

** Two Years later**

Clarke was pacing back and forth in front of Lexas school. She wanted everything to be perfect, it just had to be. What she didn’t expect was for Lexa to come storming out looking furious. Lexa stopped in front of her and grabbed her hand before dragging her away from the building.

“Umm Lex is everything okay?”

“NO!” Clarkes eyes widened, this was not good.

“What happened?”

“School, my professor is an idiot.”

Clarke didn’t really understand.

“Care to elaborate?”

“Not really.” Lexa stopped walking and spun to face her pressing a hard kiss to her lips. “Hello by the way, sorry.”

Clarke smiled and kissed her again softer this time, “Hello beautiful.”

Lexa sighed and began walking again, “Professor Pike just thinks his way of working is the only way, he won’t give me a chance.”

Clarke nodded, she was so glad to be done with school. “Just a couple more months babe and you will be a lawyer. You are almost done, don’t let him stand in your way.”

Lexa nodded, “I won’t. Where are we eating tonight?”

Clarke looked away from her then getting nervous, “I have something planned.”

“Are the girl joining us?”

“Nope, Raven is working and Octavia is with Lincoln.” Lexa nodded, she seemed to still be stuck in her thoughts.

When Clarke stopped in front of her gallery Lexa looked confused but didn’t say anything thankfully.

“Stay here for a second.” Clarke walked into one of the main gallery room and turned on the projector, the room was filled with what looked like the night sky. She laid the blanket on the floor. She walked into the second room and laid out another blanket along with the wine and all of Lexas favorite food that Raven had dropped off right before they got there. She walked around the room placing all of the candles and putting rose petals everywhere, she lit the candles. She turned the light off, she walked back out to see Lexa waiting impatiently. She motioned for her to come to the door.

“Close your eyes until I say to open them okay?” Lexa nodded closing her eyes. Clarke grabbed her hand and walked her forward. She walked her to the center of the room “Open them.”

She saw Lexas eyes open and heard the gasp as she took in the ceiling of the room. “Clarke this is beautiful, I can’t believe this.

Clarke shrugged even though Lexa wasn’t looking at her. “I know you love the sky Lexa and stars, I always catch you just looking up. If I could give you the world I would.”

Lexa turned to her and kissed her, “You are my world Clarke. I love you. This was a great surprise.”

Clarke laid down and pulled Lexa with her they laid there for only a couple of minutes.

“Clarke?”

“Yeah?”

“I only started looking at the sky after I met you, it reminds me of you, so it comforts me.”

Clarke turned and pressed a kiss to Lexas lips. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Clarke sat up and offerd Lexa her hand. “Where are we going?”

“One more surprise. Close your eyes.” Lexa looked at her suspiciously but nodded closing her eyes again.

Clarke led her to the next room and made her stand in the middle again, except this time she got on her knee in front of her, pulling a ring out of her picket.

“Open your eyes Lex.” Lexa looked all around the room first her jaw dropped taking everything in.

“Clarke this is beautiful, I can’t believe…” Lexas eyes widened even more the moment she saw her. Her eyes began to water, and Clarke couldn’t help it so did hers.

“Lexa, I have known you almost three years now and it has been the best three years of my life, you are the best thing to ever happen to me and I never want to let you go.”

“Clarke.”

“Shh let me finish. It hasn’t always been easy but it has always been worth it. I look at you and I see my future, because Lexa you are all I need to be happy. You are beautiful, kind, smart, and so damn strong. I want all your dreams to come true and when each of them does I want to be the person standing next to you. I love you with every part of me. I want to wake up next to you every day for the rest of my life, I want to have a family with you and grow old together. You aren’t just the love of my life you are my best friend.  Lexa Woods would you do me the honor and be my wife?”

Lexa dropped down onto her knees in front of her as tears went down her face. Clarke wiped her face and Lexa pressed their lips together over and over again, Clarke smiled pulling back.

“Lexa I kind of need an answer.”

Lexas jaw dropped again making her laugh. “Oh my god yes!! I forgot to say yes!”

** Three years Later**

**Lexas POV**

She couldn’t find the damn cookies, if she didn’t get the right ones Octavia would seriously break down, you don’t mess with a pregnant womans cravings, she learned that the hard way.

She stood in the snack aisle for what felt like forever when she was interrupted.

“Do you need help looking for something?” Lexa looked up to see a woman in a business suit talking to her. She looked back down again.

“My pregnant sister in law asked me to get her something and I can’t find it. My brother is going to kill me if I don’t get it.”

“Oh you brothers wife?”

Lexa looked up confused as to why the woman was still talking to her.

“Yes.”

“Good, well describe to me what it is she wants.”

Lexa shrugged and described it.

“Ohhh I think have seen those in a store by my house, if you follow me in your car I can show you. And maybe we can get a drink?” Lexa was shocked by that and just looked at the woman in front of her, was she seriously getting hit on in the supermarket? She didn’t get a chance to respond.

“How about no? If you were observant you would have seen that my wife is wearing a wedding ring. Or did you notice and just not care?” Lexa smiled and turned to see Clarke bouncing their fussy baby girl while she glared at the woman.

Lexa smiled at her and pressed a kiss to her cheek before grabbing Eve from her mother and turning back to the woman who was just staring at her shocked. “I think my wife has answered your question.”

The woman scurried away as fast as she could. Lexa just laughed and kissed Eve on her little nose, it still amazed her how beautiful their daughter was. Clarke had been the one to carry her using Lexas egg and a sperm donor who had Clarkes characteristics, but Eve looked just like Lexa with her brown hair except she had blue eyes.

“Thanks for coming to my rescue babe.” Clarke just glared at her.

“What?”

“You liked her flirting with you huh?” Lexa laughed which made Eve laugh which made Clarke smile.

“I didn’t realize she was flirting until the last thing she said Clarke, I just can’t find Octavias damn cookies.”

Clarke rolled her eyes and stepped up to her and grabbed something right behind her head. The fucking cookies. “I swear I didn’t see those! Evie tell mommy I didn’t see them.”

Eve just babbled at Clarke. Lexa kissed her head, “Thanks for having my back kid.” Clarke rolled her eyes and kissed Eves nose.

“You are lucky she is so cute.”

Lexa looked at their daughter again, “She is, isn’t she?”

“Yeah, maybe she gets it from you.”

Lexa pretended to study Eve and shrugged her shoulders, “Maybe.”
