Chapter Text
-Tell us mommy! - little girl shouted while grabbing her blonde mother's neck, forcing her to pick her up.
-Yeah we wanna know! - another small, dark haired creature with big, blue eyes appeared from the bedroom as he heard his mommies closing the main door. He was tangled between Lexa's legs in seconds, trying to get his mother's attention. Lexa and Clarke smiled at each other as they heard little feet taping the floor with their bare feet. They were waiting patiently for their two the youngest children who were desperately trying to keep up with their older siblings. Finally when they did, they followed Jake's lead and hugged their mothers' legs.
-Let us take our jackets off first. It's hot in here, unlike outside. - Clarke managed to chuckle back as Ella was digging her fingers into her neck. Then she put her dark haired, little girl on the ground, took her coat off and helped do the same her very pregnant wife.
-You want me to help you with those shoes? - Clarke asked pointing at her wife's white converse.
-Normally I'd say no, but it's really late, my feet are burning, my back hurts and I'm carrying a little human inside so yes. Yes, I'd like that. - Lexa answered, while her hands were placed on her children's heads. Clarke didn't waste a second and kneeled in front of her wife, quickly taking her shoes off and making her sit on the couch. Two little creatures crawled on Lexa's lap, putting their little hands on her bump. She noticed her children's faces were covered in paint and they were wearing capes.
-What is that? - She pointed at twins' faces.
-It's war paint momma! - Jake answered from the back while sitting down on the floor just in front of her pregnant mother.
-We we playing warriors! - Jasmin chuckled.
-'We were' Jasmin. - Lexa corrected her daughter.
-And who won? Where's auntie Raven and Anya? - In the same moment she spotted her sister and her sister's wife walking out of the room. Their faces were covered in the paint as well.
-We had no chance in winning against your small army. You trained them well. - Anya chuckled as she sat herself on the couch opposite to the one Lexa was sitting on. Lexa smiled.
-Of course I did. You should've known better than to try to fight my private army. - Lexa answered as she kissed the top of Aden's and Jasmine's head.
-Come on! Tell us! Are we going to have a little brother or sister?! - Ella shouted, pulling Clarke's hand to the living room. Clarke laughed as her the oldest, 4 years old daughter couldn't wait to finally find out. She settled herself comfortably next to Lexa, putting Jake and Ella on her laps.
-You want to tell them or should I? - Clarke asked.
-You can do the honors. - Lexa smiled at her wife with heart eyes. Clarke looked at her children and took a deep breath.
-You're going to have a little brother. - she finally announced.
-Nooooo! - Ella and Jasmin shouted. They were disappointed at having a brother instead of a little sister.
-Yeeeesss!!! - Jake and Aden were happy they're going to have another person to play their 'men' games. They shouted at the same time and Clarke, Anya, Raven and Lexa couldn't help but to laugh at children's reactions.
-What's so wrong with a brother? - Lexa looked at her two precious, sad little princesses.
-We wanted to make our own girl army momma. - Jasmin bubbled with a thumb in her mouth.
-And auntie O said that armies have to have at least 4 people. Jake and Aden already have Jessie and Adam. They don't need anyone else. We only have Malia and we need one more! - Ella continued.
-Well, I'm sorry baby I disappointed you. - Lexa answered sarcastically.
-It's okay momma. But can we have a girl next time please? - Ella looked at Lexa with her puppy eyes.
-I don't know if we're gonna have another baby. - She was searching for Clarke's gaze. She wanted to have more children, although those little monsters can sometimes give her a hard time, having a big family was always her dream, but she didn't want to promise something she didn't know if she can make come true. Clarke nodded at her wife, like she knew how awkward Lexa must feel.
-But we'll do our best. - she turned back to Ella again.
-What took you so long? - Finally Anya broke the comfortable silence that settled between them. Lexa groaned and pushed herself further into the pillows.
-I'm sorry we kept you in here. Our doctor was stuck in the traffic. - Clarke continued as she knew her wife got really stressed and furious about the whole situation. Both of them wanted just to find out what's the baby's gender and come back to their warriors as fast as they could.
-I'm sorry, do you want something to eat? Is anyone hungry?
-We just ate pizza momma. - Aden and the rest shook their heads.
-Is there anything left?! - during whole pregnancy Lexa was eating way more than usual. One time she woke up kids at 3 o'clock because Clarke had to go to work in the morning and took them to McDonald's just because of her extreme desire for McFlurry.
-Yeah there should be at least 3 pieces left. - Raven answered, knowingly. When she was pregnant with Adam, she felt the same.
-That's my cue to leave. - Lexa started pushing herself up, when she was stopped by her lover's hand on her shoulder.
-Sit down. That's MY cue to leave. - She kissed Lexa's lips and marched to the kitchen. Ella followed her.
-By the way, I didn't asked...what happened that you decided to find out baby's gender, instead of waiting until he's born, like you did with the rest of those little cuties? - Raven asked curiously.
-After Ella briefly explain to the kids what pregnancy is and after she told them that she was the one who chose Jasmin's and Aden's names, they started to get really anxious and curious about baby's gender and the topic couldn't go untouched even by one day, so we decided with Clarke that this time we find out earlier. - Lexa put her right hand on her bump and left pulled Jasmin closer.
-There you go, your pizza - Clarke handed Lexa a plate with 3 slices of pizza while holding Ella in her arms.
-Thanks baby. - She immediately pushed pizza into her mouth.
-Am I the only one who's missing something... or more someone? Where's this rebellious kid of yours? - Clarke asked after she fell down on the couch.
-Oh! Adam fell asleep as soon as Ella put him in the jail and settled on your comfy pillows. -Raven smiled on the thought of her little knight. In the same moment Adam walked into the room, rubbing his eyes.
-Speaking of the devil. - Anya whispered. Adam crawled into her lap and settled his head on her shoulders.
-I think we should be going. - Raven stood up and everyone followed her lead.
-Thank you so much, once again for taking care of them. We owe you. - Lexa pulled her sister and her sister's wife into a hug. Clarke did the same.
-Oh stop it! Your kids are adorably cute and super awesome. We enjoy spending time with them.
-I hope they weren't much of a trouble.
-Twins got in the fight two times but me and your sister handled it. Besides that, they were like angels. - Clarke threw a mad look at twins, but couldn't be angry with them as they were laying on the couch, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
-Next time, we're taking care of Adam. - Clarke pulled closer to Lexa, hugged her from the back and put her hands on her wife's bump.
-Deal. - Anya whispered quietly, trying not to wake her son, then they exited the room.
Clarke and Lexa turned around finding their children laying all around the living room, obviously exhausted after playing 'war game'. Clarke picked Jake from the ground.
-Okay guys. Let's go to the bathroom. We have to wash this war paint off your faces. - little warriors quickly ran to the bathroom. She and Lexa were really glad to have big bath tub so they can wash all of their kids at once.
-Mommy can we get our toys? - Jasmin turned to Lexa who managed to take her daughter's shirt and pants off.
-Sure. Take them quickly, before water gets cold. - little girl only in her underwear ran to her room. Other followed her. When they came back water was already waiting for them. Each one of them had at least 20 toys in their hands.
-Uh-uh! Everyone can take at most 7 toys into the bath. - Clarke announced and suddenly she met disappointed growl.
-Mamma's right. 7 toys top. - Lexa supported her wife. She was sitting on the toilet, letting herself rest.
-But mommy! - Aden started
-We need all of them! - Ella protested.
-We can't leave them alone! - Jake growled.
-Yeah! - Jasmin seemed on her siblings' side.
-I'm sure you won't need 10 different kinds of cars in the bath or 5 different Barbie dolls. Choose 7 and then you can go to the bath. - Lexa answered strictly. They did as they were told. And after 20 minutes of splashing each other, Clarke started pulling them out of the bath.
-Come on Jake. It's your turn. Let's get you in your dinosaur pajama. - Clarke knew it was the only way to get him out of the bath. Jake obeyed. Lexa took a towel and put it around her son when she felt little human kicking her inside. She groaned quietly but loud enough for Clarke to notice. Blonde immediately kneeled in front of her wife.
-Lexa? What is it? Is everything alright? - Lexa only smiled, took Clarke's hand and placed it on her stomach. Clarke gasped as she felt her unborn child's movements. They laughed together.
-He's being impatient. - Lexa smirked.
-Only 1 more month my little boy. Now rest and let your mommy take care of your super, extra siblings okay? Everyone is waiting for you. I love you so much. We all do. - Clarke whispered against Lexa's stomach.
-Mommy is it Mickey? Can I touch him too? - Jasmin looked at their mothers patiently. They only smiled and helped her put her little hand on Lexa's bump. As soon as she felt baby's kickings, she pulled her hand away, crawled into Clarke's arms and buried her face in her mother's neck.
-It's okay Jas... You don't have to be scared. He's just excited to meet you. - Blonde whispered against her 2 years old daughter's ear.
-Mickey is exited to meet me? - She looked at Lexa with her blue eyes. Lexa nodded in response.
-Mickey? That's how you named him? - Jasmin nodded shyly.
-Like Mickey Mouse.
-I like that. - Clarke looked at Lexa.
-Me too.
-Guys! How would you like to have your new brother named Mickey? - Clarke turned to face the rest of the Griffin-Woods family. Everyone cheered except Aden. 2 year old groaned loudly.
-You don't like it Aden?
-I wanted to name him Nemo! Or Dory! - Clarke chuckled, pulling her son out of the bath.
-We won't name him after fishes, Aden. - Lexa chuckled
-Besides, Dory is girl's name. Stupid! - Ella laughed, still playing with her toy story's toys in the water.
-Ella don't call your brother like that. Apologize. - Lexa ordered sharply.
-Sorry... - she whispered to herself.
-I didn't hear you. - Lexa demanded. Little girl sighed loudly. She was obviously annoyed.
-I'M SORRY! - she shouted really loudly.
-Good. Now come over here. We have to get you in your pajamas.
-But ma! I said sorry! - Her green eyes, stared into Lexa's. You could see very visible dark bags under them. Little warrior was tired, even though she didn't want to admit it.
-I know, baby. But it's time to get out of the bath and go to sleep. Your siblings are already clean and ready to go.
-Uh-uh! I'm not going anywhere!
-Someone's tired and being annoying. - Clarke whispered to her wife.
-Come on Ella. You can bathe tomorrow too. - Clarke tried to convince her.
-No! - she splashed Lexa with a water. Lexa irritated by the whole situation (and mostly hormones) stood up, showing her daughter that jokes are over.
-I'm counting to three. 1... - Ella knew what's going to happen when her mom reaches 3 but she was too stubborn to let go.
-2... - Lexa was very pissed at that moment. Wet clothes were making it even worse.
-Last chance Ella. - 4 year old was staring at the water.
-Thr-...
-Okay! Okay... - Ella shouted with annoyance in her voice and went out of the bath. Her dark hair covering her angry face, marched to her mother's arms, who was waiting for her with a towel. Before she could reach her, however, Jake and Aden stood in the doorway pointing at Ella.
-Naked! Ha-ha! Ella's Naked! La-la-la-la-la-laaaa! - their sister was at least irritated. She ran towards them, without any clothes on, but boys were faster and took off before she was able to get to them. They were running around the house, when Ella finally got Aden and took his shirt and pants off.
-Who's naked now? Huh?! - But Aden wasn't angry at all as he was laying on the ground under his sister's body. He started laughing.
-Me! Hahahah! You and me! Naked! Na-ked! - Ella smiled. As Jasmin and Jake saw them being naked, they took their clothes off too and started running around the house, chasing each other. Their screams and laughs were filling the air. Clarke sighed as she saw what her children were doing and looked at Lexa.
-Those are savages not children. -
She said.
-Ella! Come back here! You're still wet! We don't want you to get sick again! - but her daughter seemed to ignore her and kept chasing her siblings. Their clothes were everywhere. They started throwing pillows at each other.
-Stay away from the table! - Lexa shouted and pointed at the wooden table with sharp edges. As she approached them, kids took off to not get caught and ran to their parents' bedroom.
-Catch us if you can ma! - Jasmin shouted. Lexa looked at Clarke with begging look.
-Sit down. I got this. - Clarke pushed Lexa's shoulder to make her sit down on the chair in the kitchen. She took a deep breath and a small laugh escaped her mouth as she heard her wife shouting;
-Get out of the bed! Jake take that underwear of your head! Ella don't push your brother! Jasmin! Stop! You can't eat this! Lexa!!! - Lexa chuckled to herself. She can't leave her wife to those monsters alone. When she entered their bedroom, Clarke was barely visible. She was covered in their children bodies' and pillows.
-Leave my wife alone, you naked monsters! - She shouted with a smile, grabbed Jasmin and Jake and started tickling them. They couldn't stop laughing. Clarke used the distraction to do the same with Aden and Ella. Now the children were laughing so hard, the tears were escaping their eyes.
-Ma! Ma please! - Aden shouted between laughs.
-Now 'Ma' huh? - Clarke didn't let go.
-Stop! Mommy! - Jasmin started being weak to.
-Say you surrender and will put your clothes on! - Lexa didn't stop either. After few minutes of laughing Ella shouted.
-We surrender! We surrender! Stop, Mamma! - In the same moment Clarke and Lexa stoped torturing their children and peppered their faces with small kisses. Kids couldn't stop laughing. Finally they pulled back and stepped away, to give their children some space.
-Now go put your clothes on and wash your teeth. - Clarke said and the little, naked army followed the order. Clarke turned to Lexa, put her hands on he wife's waist and captured her lips.
-Thank you for saving me. - She whispered.
-Always. - Lexa smiled.
-Momma! Can you brush my hair?! - Ella shouted from the other room. Clarke chuckled against Lexa's lips.
-I'll be right there honey! - Clarke looked up into her wife's eyes.
-Duty calls. - she whispered as she turned around and exited the room.
They're back in the bathroom. Everyone was already clothed. Clarke took the brush from Ella's hands and started brushing her hair. Lexa stared at her family from the doorway.
-Jasmin baby, you have your shirt on the left side. - Lexa said. She kneeled down and helped her little girl to change that. Then they all took tooth brushes and brushed their teeth together for exactly 2 minutes. 30 minutes later after Lexa and Clarke gave them goodnight kisses Aden, Jake and Ella were peacefully sleeping in their rooms. Jasmin was still in Clarke's arms, trying to fall asleep. She was only 2 and energy was pumping through her veins. Fortunately Blonde managed to get her to sleep and put her on a bed next to Aden's. Because they were twins, they had room together, but they would often sneak into their parents' room to cuddle when they can't sleep. And 'often' means, at least once a week.
-Goodnight my little princess. - She kissed Jasmin's forehead. When Clarke entered her bedroom, Lexa was already sleeping. She quickly moved under the blankets and hugged her pregnant wife from the back.
