Chapter Text

Lexa assumed her sister had been high when she handed her the script to the movie she was set to direct. Romance… Well Rom-Coms… in general weren’t really her thing. She loved action movies. Had trained, and done a lot of her own stunts, and although she wanted to branch out, she was thinking more Thriller, horror, or just something psychological…

“It has some action,” Anya Woods, her older sister argued on her couch as she ran on the treadmill.

“Who is the female lead?” Lexa asked….

It had been years since she was given a role that had a love interest. The last one didn’t end well. Costia had left her for a model and started to host a dating show. It had been a bond type film and she was awkward during any type of intimate scenes, and Costia guided her through it. Later she found out it was at the director's urging and the love she felt for the Beta ripped her heart out.

Costia broke up with her right after the film was released, and they stopped having to do press for it. Since then she had sworn off red carpets. She wasn’t going to be someone's arm candy, and claim to fame. Nor did she have the intention of building media hype around her personal life. She was dating no one, and likely would never date anyone again.

“The studio approved her… She is skilled, but a little rusty. It will be good for both of you. You need time to explore a different type of character, and she has the ability to deliver some good lines if I recall.” Anya explained as she didn't look up from her phone.

Lexa loved her sister, but she could be so hyper focused at times. It was one of the reasons why she was headlined to direct a lot of blockbuster hits… Not just because of their family name, but because she was good… And Lexa was good as well, she just didn’t want to be given the same roles, and scripts over and over again. If something didn’t change she would be playing the same roles for the rest of her life.

“You are the studio… I am the studio,” Lexa argued and turned up the incline to get out some of the aggression she was feeling. She was nervous. She would likely need to book an appointment with her therapist. Otherwise she would be the asshole on set.. Every set had one, and she refused to let herself become one… Not again.

Anya actually bothered to look up from her phone and she got up and walked over to her. “We run Grounders together, and like back on the show we did. You are still the commander, but Linc and I run the show, and his new girlfriend pushed for this actress, and I said yes. Also we have hired BoomBoom to run pyrotechnics, and Moonshine designs is heading up CGI.”

“So you and Linc just hire your girlfriends, and they hire their friends. Nepotism is still alive and well in hollywood.”

Her sister smiled at her. “We put the Wood,”

“Don’t say it,” Lexa growled and pumped out her scent and let her sister choke on it as she struggled to say the last of a famous line that had been going around for years.

“In Hollywood,” Anya choked.

Her face was growing red, and Lexa pulled back her pheromones because she worried that the neighbors a few mansions down could likely smell. Luckily she lived in a neighborhood of mostly Betas, and a couple Alphas, but no Omegas as far as she was aware.

Not that she could smell them. Her nose was broken by the most infuriating young actor she had ever had to work with. Since then, she hadn’t been able to smell anything. At least she had her other senses, though her hearing did go a little bit after a stunt she did on the first of the Commander series.

“At least it's not a Christmas movie.” Lexa exhaled and then got off the treadmill and pulled out her phone to shoot off a text to Derrek about getting in for a therapy session. Likely weekly ones if she could fit it into her schedule.

“No… But speaking of, the one our lead actress is in just got released, and… We are expected to attend the premiere,” Anya stated.

“I don’t do red carpets.”

“Well you’re coming as my date, to meet the lead actress who is set to play opposite you… Dad is sending a limo, and you get to choose which suit you prefer,” Anya said, going to the bags she had brought in earlier.

Well… There was little choice in the matter. She would have to go. If she didn't, her father would find some way to make her life hell… Like when he had hired a male PA for her last movie who followed her too closely. She was also sure he stole a few of her underthings, but couldn’t prove it.

Anya held up one suit, and then another. One was green, and the other well… Anya clearly decided she would wear a dress. She wouldn’t have picked red anyway, even if it was a suit. So she grabbed the green one and placed it on her bed before running back down to lift some weights.

Her sister it seemed had every intention of staying to make sure that she attended the event. So much so that she made herself at home as Lexa went about her extensive routine to keep up with the muscles and abs that kept bringing in roles.

After weights she decided to get out of the house. She may not be able to smell pheromones very well but it was a bit stuff, and she didn’t like that. So she opened a bunch of windows and ran down the driveway and out the gate, before running down the street.

She liked her neighborhood. She picked it out because she didn’t mind the drive to work. She had an apartment near the studio that she used a couple times a year, if she felt the urge to sleep with someone. No one but family had been to her mansion and that was the way she liked it. Neat, organized, and clean, and untarnished by women that could break her heart more than they already had.

After her run she had her protein shake, and read the news. War, she absolutely despised, but more often than not, she was cast as some sort of military figure, or an alien warlord, and even a couple villains.

Lexa showered, put on her deodorant, and then cologne, before trying to squeeze into the outfit that her sister had picked out for her. It wasn’t going to work. She had already torn through the arms, and it was much too tight in the crotch.

“ANYA!!” Lexa shouted.

Her sister came up the stairs and burst out laughing… “I can fix this,” she said and pulled out her phone.

Anya didn’t fix it… Luna did. The sleeves of her suit jacket were cut and little bits of triangle scraps had little red felt circles that were stitched to the peaks. As for the pants Luna added red so she didn’t have to close them, but that wasn’t the issue… The issue was she was an Alpha, and she had a fan club dedicated to bulge pics, that would eat this outfit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

“Ditch the shirt, maybe they will be too focused on your abs,” her husband Derrek suggested, knowing that she hated the attention a certain piece of her got. Luna looked up at her and she could see that she thought the same thing, but she had so many pins in her mouth she couldn’t speak.

“Yeah… Going to need a session tomorrow if you can squeeze me in,” Lexa said.

“Only if I do it here, and we play some ball after. That is a killer court you got out there,” Derrek stated.

At this point she would agree to anything that kept her from looking up at her phone. She didn’t have social media, she found it took away from real life experiences, and just hated other people's opinions. But she still sometimes looked herself up to see what people were saying, and hopefully there would be something good about her upcoming movie.

“Yeah. Bring some shorts, for the court, and the pool. Luna, you can bring the kids if you want.” Lexa offered.

“They are coming with me to work. Anya has a lot of costume changes for this movie, and I need to fit the lead. I already have your measurements.” Luna winked and Derrek laughed at how uncomfortable she felt about his wife flirting with her in front of him. Thankfully they were just friends, and had been for years. No jealousy, no feelings, just great friends.

Her socks had little santa clauses on them, and her suspenders had christmas trees on them, but were just for decoration she would likely take them off as soon as she sat down. She didn’t need them to hold up her pants; they were tight enough…. And now shorts not pants, but semantics. She also didn’t have a shirt and her chest tattoo was on display.

“You still won’t tell me the story behind that one,” Anya pointed to the tattoo on her chest.

“That’s because I took a vow of silence after I got it. Best year of my life,” Lexa lied and smiled like it had been, but in fact it had been the worst.

Sobriety was hard. Really hard. It was a fight every day, especially on the hard days, but it took her until her spiral after dating Costia to realize that being silent wasn’t going to make the feelings go away, and drinking didn’t help her forget, and drugs didn’t numb the pain.

“You almost got fired.”

“But I didn’t… I memorized my lines, and nailed the shit out of that movie and all those action scenes. I didn’t even need a stunt double… Speaking of. I want to do all my own stunts in this movie.”

“We will see,” her sister said and thankfully dropped the question about the tattoo.

Before she had even gotten together with Costia, as she transitioned from a child star into an action one, she attended a party and completely blacked out… Well kinda blacked out, she remembered bits and pieces of it.

Drunk Lexa used to be a fun time, but was a disaster. So much so she woke up in a hotel room with a blonde woman, and didn’t realize she had a mating scar on her neck untl she had got home. After she saw it, she raced back to the hotel, but the woman was gone. They used fake fucking names, and there were no cameras, because still in her drunken haze she knew where to fucking go where no one would know her.

So after leaving the hotel she went straight to a tattoo artist and sat for 6 hours covering it up… two wolves one on top of another… Joining, in a way that it was a little bit of an optical illusion, and the eyes of each wolf covered up the scars of an Omegas teeth on her neck.

It had to have been an Omega otherwise they wouldn’t have stayed… But she was claimed and took a damn vow of silence, so that she wouldn’t speak about it. After a couple months it was buried so deep down, she never brought it up, but she did think about it on occasion.

Whoever it was… They didn’t carry her mark. A mating wasn’t fulfilled, her scent didn’t change. Not that she could smell it. It would forever be a mystery to her. After her vow of silence she got cast in a lot of movies, and had so much awesome press… And then along came Costia, who ruined her, and ruined red carpets for her. Now she was about to step out on one.

The noise came first, and then the camera flashes. Lexa reached in and helped her sister out. Not that she needed it. Anya looked dressed to kill, and she led her down the carpet, and over to where the backdrop for the christmas movie was where everyone was getting their picture taken before heading inside.

Her father who was waiting in line jumped out and joined them. He was looking like a damn snowman. A snowman. “Since when did we become the family that did this,” Lexa gestured to him, and then to herself and Anya.

All of them had tattoos. Her father even had one on his face… They were a family of bikers, not some holiday card taking mother fuckers.

“Press is press Lexa, and I am trying to help you change your image. That means changing the family's image.”

“Stay frosty,” Lexa growled before they were ushered over to take a picture.

Her dad laughed and went between herself and Anya and Lexa changed a glance at the backdrop, to catch the name of the movie. “A Christmas Song…” Great a fucking musical.

Afterwards her dad stepped out of the way, and she tried to give her sister a glare appropriate for public, but she wasn’t even looking in her direction. She looked behind her to where her dad was, and then went and talked to the people taking pictures.

A second later and she felt someone stumble into her. “Whoops sorry,” a soft female voice said.

Lexa caught her, wrapping both arms around her, and her fingers felt electricity when she touched her. Then the woman turned her head up at her, and Lexa wanted to growl, but a little voice in her head told her not to. Instead she just spoke her name, because she was frankly surprised to see her.

“Clarke.”

“Lexa,” the woman said and brushed her sparkling red dress down, and then looked up at her and adjusted the bow tie around her neck. “I heard we will be working together again. It has been a long time.”

“You broke my nose,” Lexa said angrily.

Clarke flipped her hair and then posed for the press, and Lexa was forced to do the same before being led off the carpet. Clarke glared right back at her, when they were behind a backdrop on the entrance into the theater. The woman crossed her arms and looked her up and down, but it didn’t seem her body had the same effect on her as other women, and she hoped that Anya didn’t cast her romantic lead as an Alpha. Clarke had such Alpha energy right now.

“I am sorry Lexa. I was a kid, and you insulted me. Not only that but you insulted my family and… and… Look, you hurt me. I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry… I can’t even remember what I said to you Clarke. I still haven’t regained a sense of smell. The only time I know someone is pushing out their scent is if they are blasting their pheromones at me, or if the air is thick.”

“Typical Lexa… Only focused on her… Her work, her career, her image,” Clarke’s voice got louder, and then she took a breath and pinched her nose, likely not to smear all of her makeup.

Lexa took a couple breaths and realized that the air was a little thicker closer to Clarke, and then realized she should probably back off. So she decided to drop it. “Sorry Clarke,” Lexa said before turning to leave. They wouldn’t solve it today, especially not in front of the paparazzi.

The theater was packed, but thank goodness her father stuck out like a sore thumb. They moved over to her, and she waved down the guy with the snacks.

“3 popcorns, one bag of m and ms and O’henry, and Reese’s,” Her father said and then looked past her. “Anything for yourself Miss Griffin? On me,” her father asked, and Lexa felt his deep voice emanating around the theater.

“Just a water please,” Clarke smiled at the man and then took the seat right next to her.

Well… this would be awkward. “So… Clarke. I read the script and I think you are perfect for the role.” Her father said. “Both of you,” he looked at her, and gave her a look that told her not to say a fucking thing. “The Princess, and Heda, on the screen again. I have reached out to a couple of your other cast mates, and I think we can find a role for them as well. Just small stuff. I want the main focus to be on you and Lexa.”

“That sounds like a lot of fun. I am grateful for the opportunity, and I won’t let you down sir… I just have some scheduling conflicts, but we can talk about that at a later date.”

“Scheduling conflicts?” Her father asked.

“Just for the filming on location. But I would appreciate it if we talked about it in a more professional setting,” Clarke gave her father a dazzling smile, and she couldn’t help but notice how much she had grown up.

Clarke Griffin certainly wasn’t the girl in pigtail with the big bottle glasses. She had blossomed into a beautiful woman. A curvaceous beautiful woman, who had an unmarred neck.

Anya leaned forward and looked over at her and then leaned even more and she touched Clarke on the shoulder to get her attention. “Drinks afterwards?”

“I can’t… But,” Clarke looked at her, and then her father and sister. “I understand you want us to get seen together and build up press for the movie. So… I am having a birthday next month. You can invite some other members of the cast and crew, we will be going out to Firefly. You can get the details off of Raven, and give her a list of names, but I will snap a couple photos of us all together for Insta,” Clarke said, and then the opening credits came on, and thankfully stopped any more conversation.

As predicted… The movie was a musical… And as the daughter of Jake Griffin, Clarke gave one hell of a performance. As the credit scenes rolled she read them all like she normally did just to see connections at play, and she noticed that the song that Clarke performed was written by her father, and she… She co-wrote the script.

For a Christmas movie it was good. Not watch again next month good. Not Die Hard good, but… Classic. Warm up beside the fireplace, and enjoy a cup of cocoa and some classic cookies. She turned to tell Clarke what she thought and give her a compliment but she was gone.

She got in the limo with her father, and Anya left to get drinks with some of the other cast members she knew. Her father immediately took off the costume and she laughed. She wanted to rip off the extra bits of Christmas Luna added to her outfit, but her friend had put in a good amount of effort on short notice. Perhaps she could sell it for charity or something.

“Clarke Griffin isn’t Costia,” her father gave her a firm stare. “Being seen in public isn’t going out in public. I’m not asking you to date her, or her you. Just be friendly. Positive press Lexa. You saw the film, she can act. She just hasn’t been given a large role. This movie… Could catapult both of your careers… and the ending…. I am willing to rework it, for a sequel if Anya thinks you two can pull it off. You and Griffin are carrying the movie. You are both two big names in the industry. I don’t have to tell you that it’s not only your career on the line.” Her father then got out and the driver took her back to her place.

As she brushed her teeth she googled Clarke Griffin. She found her instagram page, and creeped it a bit. Well as much as she could before the app told her to get an account. She wasn’t about to break. Nope… No socials. But those tits…

There was something she noticed on her IMDB page… Clarke Griffin had a 4 year gap between being on anything more than just an episode. And playing a dead body on NCIS didn’t count in her opinion. Then there was an episode on a cop show where she played a waitress.. All those jobs were below her, but she took them, and then started to work on films again, working up to being a lead.

Her father and Anya were both right. This would be her first major movie, and Lexa believed that she could do it. She was always good on Princess on the Ground. It was infuriating. Lexa would study for hours, and Clarke would just get it. But that was years ago.

The thing she couldn’t get over though was the broken nose. It had happened at the wrap party… She was drunk… Clarke was well.. Younger than her by a good 6 years, and kept on hitting on her.

Her father had been pretty good at showing her the ropes. Keeping tabs on both her and Anya, and showing them the reality that is working in show business as a kid… And that was growing up too fast.

So when Clarke came onto her, she rejected her hard. She forgot what she said, but she didn’t like what Clarke was saying to her. Maybe she thought she was ready, but no.. She was much too young, and Lexa didn’t want to have a bad reputation so she insulted her, likely pointing out something about the way she looked and well… She expected tears and for Clarke to flee. Not for her to get taken to the hospital by ambulance, because her stupid friend tried to reset it, and only made it worse.

Now they were slated to film a movie together, and one thing was for sure. She could use some of this frustration and so could Clarke. She had read through the script again that night, and marked down the scenes she thought that they should do first. Mainly the one where Clarke’s character slaps her after she kisses her. Since she would be doing her own stunts and wanted the scene to look real, Clarke would get to slap her, and hopefully get some of that anger out of her system before they had to shoot more emotionally intense scenes.

Chapter Text

The club was packed. All her friends were there, and even some people from the movie. They had a VIP booth, and it was one of the few places she felt like she could actually take a seat.

Raven, her best friend and pyrotechnic genius, had just started to date Anya Woods. Though if they ever made it official, both of them would hate it. Anya was used to the spotlight and was one of the few Alpha’s comfortable enough to wear dresses. But Raven was a Beta, and preferred being well away from the camera.

As the club filled up with people it also filled up with scents. Monty was her only other fellow Omega in the club so she tried to stay near him to block out all of the scents. It didn’t matter that her kind were nearly extinct. Betas, and what few Alphas remained as well really enjoyed making them submit, and she hated submitting.

Submitting was something personal. She had been forced to submit one time… and she promised to never go through it again, so she did training and went to workshops and regained her confidence. All to come back to an industry she loved.

“A black dress this time. This Alpha is going to kill me,” Raven groaned and gestured to the staircase Anya was walking down.

Anya Woods was brutal. Not necessarily in a bad way, but possibly if you got on her bad side, which a lot of people were. Her sister Lexa was… She no longer knew what Lexa was. She looked behind Anya and then back out into the crowd but still no sign of Hollywoods Alpha heart throb.

The oldest Wood sister approached and brought over a bottle of vodka, and two servers followed with bottles of champagne. “Thank you for coming,” Clarke said to her and gave her one of those weird hugs where no arms actually went behind anyone's back.

“I’ll be right back. Let me go find the rest of the team. I want to propose a toast before filming starts next week,” Anya said before giving Raven a kiss and disappearing into the rest of the crowd.

Monty approached and stood right by her and wrapped an arm around her. “I can’t believe she chose my company to run the CGI,” Monty gushed.

“Well… Clarkie and I put in a good word, and I may have used other methods to convince her, but soon your work will speak for itself.” Raven smiled and poured them all a shot from the bottle Anya had brought over.

It had been a few years since she had been this drunk. One awful drunken night could just ruin the rest of them… Clarke threw back her glass and shook when it burned going down her throat. She was still young. In her prime. And she could let loose and have fun before going back to the real world.

Anya brought over a couple more people, and then left to get a few more. “Luna Riggs… Wardrobe,” the woman with the most non clubby but chic dress said introducing herself to Raven, but Clarke had met her last week, and they bonded alright.

“Tristan Flynn…. Camera man,” A bald headed man with a few head tattoos stated and that was more on par to what Into the Woods production team members looked like.

“Harper Macintyre… I’m your stunt double,” the Beta said introducing herself.

“Nate Miller… Security.. But you already knew that princess,” her friend teased.

Lincoln Woods appeared, but no Lexa… The middle child, golden boy, and all around softy. “Remember me?” He asked.

“Of course,” Clarke said and gave him a hug and he picked her up and spun her around.

“Happy birthday Princess,” he said and set her down. “I get to play a street cop. It’s a change from the hospital setting, but… Pops and Anya want a lot of the original cast of Princess on the Ground in the film… Speaking of,” Lincoln had his eyes above her head and she turned to see Lexa Woods.

“No breaking noses. I don’t want to hear about it for another 10 years,” Lincoln teased, like it was still ongoing, and Lexa had still been mad the other night. She didn’t know she lost her sense of smell because of it though… Maybe that's…

Clarke smiled at her when she walked up and pulled out her phone to take a picture of them. “Lexa… Thank you for coming,” Clarke said and held up her phone and Lexa nodded.

The Alpha was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, a pair of jeans, a biker jacket was hanging off of her arm and a helmet was in her hand. Combat boots… Lexa Woods was the only one in the club wearing combat boots, and she wanted to laugh.

“Happy birthday… I dug through some of my old stuff, and found this,” she said, pulling out a mixed tape…

Oh god. She had made that when she had been in love with the newly presented Alpha. Even before the abs, the arms, the legs, and massive cock with its own fan page, she had been in love with her. And Lexa broke her, so she broke her nose.

“Think they will play it?” Lexa smiled and Clarke could tell that she was joking, as the Alpha looked around and spotted the DJ.

“I hope not,” Clarke laughed.

When Lexa handed her the CD their fingers brushed and she felt it… That little spark of a connection that never would truly go away. Because a part of her still loved the Alpha. She had seen every single film she was in. Followed every news article, and maybe celebrated a little when her and Costia broke up.

Just then Anya got her attention and she turned to the table of gifts and slipped the CD into one of the gift bags so that it would come back to the house with her… It may be a reminder of an embarrassing time, but Lexa had kept it. And that had her mind racing.

“I just want to propose a toast… To the cast of The Price is Right. We are going to make the best comedy film of the year… Not only that, but the best action film of the year,” Anya shouted.

Lexa sidled up beside her. “How much has she had to drink?” The Alpha whispered.

“Likely not as much as you,” Clarke teased. “The bottle is sitting right over there. If I remember correctly you forgo using glasses.”

The Alpha frowned, and she watched her for a moment, and then turned her attention back to Anya who was still making a speech. “We are going to kill it in the awards season. Jake Griffin has signed on to write an original song… And we are going to be the best Rom-Com of the season. I want this to be released by valentines day folks. So gear up. Get all the partying out, because I want everyone to bring their A-game to set.”

Everyone cheered, and Lexa clapped before turning to her. “We should take a few more pics, and you can post them.”

“I can tag you. What’s your handle?”

Lexa shook her head. “I don’t do social media. So if you don’t mind snap the pics. I would like to be getting out of there,” Lexa said and Clarke noticed her agitated scent and tried to pump out soothing pheromones, but they had no effect on her. Everyone else noticed… Everyone but Lexa and that was all her fault.

“Okay,” Clarke agreed quickly and pulled out her phone. Lexa smiled in the pic, giving her the same smile she gave to every media outlet.

“Lexa!!” Luna exclaimed and came over to give the Alpha a hug, and Clarke noticed Lexa bury her face in Luna's neck, and mumble something to her.

Clarke cleared her throat, and both of them turned to look at her. “Lexa, can I convince you to have one dance before you leave?”

“No,” Lexa said and her voice was cold. “Have a good birthday Clarke. I have to get out of here,” Lexa said and then ran off.

Luna sighed, and then turned to her. “It’s not you,” she said like she could read the hurt on her face before going to chase after Lexa.

That was weird. Raven broke herself off from Anya and pulled her onto the dance floor. Clarke let the music take hold of her and moved her body. She had come here to get loose. Not to dwell on the past. On Lexa….

Maybe Lexa was just agitated because she was inducing her rut. She was inducing her heat the following day. It was part of her contract, and a lot of the people who worked on set, and carried the rare presentation of Alpha, or Omega had to do the same, to not affect the filming.

The night had turned pretty wild. Anya had decided to throw an afterparty at her place, and it was all done up. Like the Alpha had thought of it beforehand. When she arrived, she noticed Lexa’s scent. She followed it to an empty room with a bed, and then opened the closet.

“You can stay in this room if you like,” Anya offered, scaring the crap out of her.

Clarke pressed a hand to her chest. “That would be great,” she said, not wanting to walk into her house as drunk as she was. She just messaged her mother, and set her phone down on the nightstand to charge because it was nearly dead and there was a cord.

Anya left the room, and Clarke opened the closet, and noticed a couple t-shirts, a pair of jeans, a black leather jacket, and a bike helmet… All the gear that Lexa took with her to the club, and she had noticed many paparazzi pics of her getting on and off her bike.

She rejoined the party, and ate from the giant meat and cheese platter Anya had set out. She really had this prepared, and Raven just winked at her. Maybe Anya didn’t prepare this at all. Either way she was grateful.

Before everyone else she decided to head to bed. She had one hell of a birthday to remember, but she also had responsibilities. Being hungover and alone during her heat, was by far the worst thing she could think of.

During her heat her mind drifted to the same Alpha. The same Alpha she always thought of… Lexa was one side of Hollywood, and she was the other. Her father was a golden boy back in his day, and now she was the golden girl. While Lexa’s side were pretty much all bad girls/guys. Everyone aside from Lincoln, but he was a Woods. All his tats and muscles… But they weren’t the ones she wanted.

“See you on set baby girl,” her dad handed her a coffee and a bagel for her to eat on her drive. It was weird still living with her parents, but she couldn’t imagine living on her own. Not when they needed her help as much as she needed theirs.

It was 5 in the morning and she wanted to get there early. Anya hadn’t questioned anything on her rider thankfully. But maybe she didn’t look at them. She had to flash her ID to security and then parked her car in the parking lot, and noticed she wasn’t the only one to arrive early.

The trailers thankfully had names, and she found hers. The lights were on and the script was on the table. They were filming her on the set of one of the gameshows. She was supposed to be playing a down on her luck singer, who was given a ticket to a gameshow as a tip from a stranger… Deciding she may be able to snag a meal there she decides to go, because everyone else just gave her pennies and a couple quarters.

She read the script again, and then decided she had this. From what Raven told her Anya wasn’t one who always stuck to the script. If it was delivered well, Anya would take it.

There was a knock on her trailer and she opened the door to see Lexa standing there with a pot of coffee… “I wasn’t sure how you take your coffee.”

“So you decided to steal the entire pot?” Clarke laughed and invited her inside of her trailer.

Lexa laughed as well and had the script in her hand. “I’m filming some stunts today… I know you read the script so you know I am the one who drops off the ticket.”

Clarke sighed. “Yes.. I am the blonde fool you decide to use as a patsy… It really does seem like a fun movie. They don’t say who wrote it though.”

“Backlogged scripts… It was acquired by the studio years ago, and Anya decided to go with it. She had her choice of scripts, and I kinda like it. My father even mentioned something about a second film… If we do a good job on the first one. The ending can be tweaked.”

“Would you like that? Working with me again?” Clarke asked nervously and she knew Lexa couldn’t smell her. Thankfully… Because she was nervous. She would get to kiss Lexa… And they had one scene… Well… She got off thinking about the scene, and that was telling.

“I can be professional. But I know we have this tension. So I was thinking we could move a bit further down the script. To where your character figures out I used yours.”

Clarke furrowed her brow and then flipped through the script until she found the scene that Lexa was referring to.. Her Character figured it out… Slaps Lexa… and then they kiss.

“I want you to actually slap me. Like full on go for it.”

“No.”

“You had no trouble breaking my nose!”

“Well that was different!” Clarke argued and then there was knocking on her trailer and they needed her in hair and makeup. “I take cream in my coffee… Just for future notice.” Clarke said, holding open the door for Lexa to leave her trailer.

“And I expect to be slapped Clarke. I don’t care if we film well into the night. So channel all those emotions into those fingers and make it count.” Lexa growled leaving with a coffee pot before depositing it on the nearest picnic table.

First they filmed in the studio, doing the game show… She had to act surprised. Her seat was called and then she was called up to play. The actual host of the game show in real life was making a cameo, and he stopped her afterwards to chat for a bit.

Clarke listened to him, and was polite, but she was not interested. Thankfully her PA came and brought her back to hair and make up to film the music scene. A sweater was added to her attire. It was meant to be done in the morning, but it was the afternoon and fucking hot out. She played and then tried and failed not to look up as Lexa walked by.

“Cut!” Anya shouted. “Clarke… You can’t look at Lexa’s character. Go again. Just keep your head down. Thank people for tipping if you feel like it, and that’s it.”

“Got it,” Clarke said and… she did get it… Eventually.

Next the camera crew followed her as she walked through a crowd of people and into the studio she had filmed in before, and it was a wrap…

“Okay… Now let’s get this helicopter scene filmed. Lexa’s character confesses to using Clarkes… Clarkes is arguably mad. Lexa wants Clarke to actually slap her, so make up on standby.

She didn’t even get a chance to head into her trailer. She was brought to hair and make-up. Ate a sub that was handed to her, and read the script memorizing her lines. Next she was brought to wardrobe and was changed into a pair of short shorts, a bikini top, and a thin see through white shirt.

Lexa was already tied to the back of the chopper and Clarke was escorted to her seat. 4 men in black tactical gear were playing the guys that had captured them, and they were the ones to make Lexa confess. She wasn’t tied up… After she slaps Lexa she would be though.

Everything started to escalate. Lexa fought back, she looked at her with apologetic eyes, and Clarke felt that there was something real to it. Raw almost. And when she saw it she knew she had to deliver.

“You used me!” her character shouted, and then she unclipped herself and tripped on her way over to Lexa.

The makeup department had done a hell of a job. She looked beat the fuck up. Clarke brought her chin up to look at her. “Fuck you!” Clarke said and pulled her hand back. There was a moment of silence on set, and Lexa looked up at her with those pleading eyes, and she swung…

She didn’t know what compelled her to do so, but she closed her fist and clocked Lexa, her face went to the side and she spit out a tooth and some blood but she heard Anya whisper to keep on rolling.

“I’m sorry,” Lexa said defeated and Clarke was pulled back by the guards, and then they used their cuffs to tie her to the seat.

“You’re going to be!” she screamed, and then the action started.

Lexa broke free of her restraints and pulled one of the guards off of her and out onto a safety pad. Next another one came at her, and Lexa got a knife to the thigh, and they called cut just to get her outfit ready to be green screened by Monty later.

Clarke watched the Alpha perform, and it was good. “A little help,” Lexa looked at her and shook her head, and gestured to the space in front of her, and then to the door. “It’s your life on the line too Princess,” Lexa said and Clarke scoffed.

Oh this was good. Lexa pushed at the man and Clarke stuck out her legs and he fell out the other door and rolled off the mat and out of the picture. The co-pilot was already climbing out of his seat. Lexa tossed him against the back wall and used the seatbelts to restrain him before beating him up and grabbing his gun.

Lexa fired on him and then fired on the pilot jumping over to take over on controls. Once she pressed a button stabilizing the helicopter and stopping the beeping she dumped one body out of the chopper and then came back to remove the other.

The Alpha was about to jump back to fly the plane. “A little help here!” Clarke argued.

Next she was knelt in front of. “Tell me this hasn’t been the most fun you have had in your life, and I will let you go.”

“It hasn’t,” Clarke huffed and let her stress out.

Lexa kissed her. Leaned in to deepen the kiss, and held her cheek, and then she felt a piece of cloth slip down around her mouth, and she screamed pretending like she couldn’t actually say anything.

“That’s better. Now I don’t have to listen to more lies slip from your mouth. I can smell you Omega. I can smell your arousal, and how much fun you have had with me. Today has been one of the best days of your life… But you are too stubborn to admit it. Maybe by the time I remove the gag you will be honest with me. Until then… I have a chopper to fly,” Lexa kissed her softly one last time and went back to the controls as she screamed noncoherent words.

“CUT!!!” Anya shouted. “Holy shit… Holy fucking shit!”

One of the crew came to remove the gag and untie her, and she looked for Lexa but didn’t see her. She sniffed the air, and noticed she went off in one direction and wanted to follow her… Because what the fuck… The kiss was in no way supposed to be that intense.

Clarke hurried back to her trailer and prayed that Anya didn’t scent her arousal. She was the only Alpha on set, and the only one capable of scenting her. Betas had better noses than Lexa, but not good enough to pick out that she was dripping from a scene.. Holy fuck… Could her body even handle a sequel.

Chapter Text

That scene… Anya didn’t even ask to reshoot anything. Clarke had been perfect. She looked so fucking hot in her outfit, and Lexa got a little carried away in kissing her, but she blamed that on the adrenaline she was feeling.

She got a little bit of her own blood on Clarkes lip and the black cloth she had used to put over her mouth. The last bit was completely improvised but it worked. Anya had called Gustus for dinner that night and was riding on more of a high than she was. Her father nodded along as he watched the footage and then glanced at her.

“No more advances like that Lexa. Stick to the script. I don't want Miss Griffin suing us. She is an Omega afterall.” Her father said.

“What?” Lexa asked unsure if she had heard him correctly. She had only met maybe 4 Omegas in her life, and she only knew because they told her, or someone else did, and well.. She had no idea that Clarke actually was an Omega… But she supposed it made sense for Anya to actually hire an Omega to play the role of an Omega.

Anya swore, she then pulled out her phone and fired off some rapid texts, and she felt like she was in a daze. She shouldn’t have done what she did. Thankfully she wasn’t stupid enough to push out her pheromones, but there likely still was a bit pushing through and Clarke would have been affected by them…

Her father replayed the scene, and she watched. She didn’t see her even react. Which was a good thing. But that kiss. Clarke’s cheeks went bright red.

That night she dreamt of her lips. What it would be like to taste them for real, and not paid to do so. Would Clarke like rough kisses, or tender ones? Did her scent even affect her? If she had her nose would Clarke’s scent affect her?

She was late to set the next day. She had a dentist appointment to fix the tooth. Her sister had taken so many pics of her mouth last night, just so that makeup could replicate it… But it hurt, and she needed it fixed.

Afterwards she drove her bike to set, and found a kid playing with chalk out in the parking lot. “Hey,” Lexa said, getting her attention, because she knew that kids shouldn’t be this close to cars. There were creeps everywhere, and she was a few feet away from getting picked up by a stranger if someone felt like it.

Blue eyes and untamed brown hair. The girl gave her a smile and she could see that she was missing a tooth. Rather adorable. She had a large bucket of chalk and had drawn everywhere.

“Hello,” she said nervously.

Lexa bent down to her level. She knew she was intimidating. All the tattoos, and biker gear. “Does your mom work on the set?” Lexa asked.

“Yes,” the girl smiled.

“Okay,” Lexa said, looking around for a parent, but she didn’t see one. “Are you hungry? Indras makes the best sandwiches. We could eat some outside of my trailer and wait for your mom to finish up whatever she is working on.”

“I’m not supposed to go places with strangers.”

Well she shouldn’t be going places by herself… What the hell. She hated kids on set, and Anya had a pretty strict no kids policy after Luna’s youngest decided to practice their gymnastics on a boom mic during filming.

“I’m Lexa Woods. Star of the film. Daughter of the owner of the studio. What’s your name?”

“Madi.”

“Well… Now we aren’t strangers. Why don’t we see what goodies they have on set, and maybe you can use that chalk to decorate my picnic table, as we eat,” Lexa offered.

The kid had just realized she had been tricked… And instead of going with her, she grabbed her things, gave her a wary look and ran off before she could chase after her. Well at least it was in the direction of the trailers, and not on set.

She couldn't eat if she tried. She grabbed some bottled water, and got into gear to film the car chase. Some of it would be on tarmac, and the rest she would film inside the studio.

Clarke was pretty much a solo character with one friend who she would call, but they wouldn’t see each other until the end of the film. Her character had a team. Bellamy Blake, another action star she had worked with in the past, was set to be her right hand man. The guy she spoke to as she weaved in and out of traffic.

And along with every action movie, there had to be some kind of twist at the end. He would be the bad guy. He would try to kill Clarke to get the location of the final clue to the treasure hunt. And she would jump in front of a bullet for her, proving her love for the character. That would all be filmed on location and she was looking forward to being somewhere more tropical.

Jake Griffin was on set. She heard the buzz as she got out of the studio… He would be singing in the street. Kinda like Clarke, but there would be a crowd. She was set to drive through and clear the crowd, and shoot behind him at the operatives running towards Clarke.

Clarke wasn’t filming her own stunts… So it was easy to shoot a lot of the scenes without her, and she got to know Harper her stunt double well. They rehearsed what was going to happen, and tried it out on an empty set before preparing to shoot the following day.

That night she slept in her trailer. She was known to do so. So it wasn’t a surprise when Tris woke her up, and told her people had started to arrive. She read the script, but really she just had a couple words to read…

“Get in,” Lexa said and leaned across to open the door.

Harper rushed in… And then she drove, tearing around the corner, and stopped the vehicle. Anya had them film the scene another 10 times, and Raven decided to add a couple explosions. Things went boom, she said the line, Harper jumped in the car.

The same vehicle was inside the studio with Clarke inside of it… It was their characters first official meet, and Lexa tried to focus on the road ahead of her, and not how beautiful Clarke looked… She wore the same clothes as she had when she dropped off the ticket, but she looked beautiful.

“I don’t know where the hell it is you come from lady, but when someone saves your life, the polite thing to say is thank you!” Lexa looked deranged and she kept driving and pulled the ebrake going around a corner.

Gunfire, and the sounds of bullets hitting metal sounded, and it was Clarke’s turn.

“Maybe I will thank you when people aren’t shooting at us!” She shouted back and then got a little flustered. “Why are they shooting at us?”

“I think they are shooting at you… I am an upstanding citizen.”

Clarke laughed like a full belly laugh. Anya yelled cut, and they did the scene at least 20 more times until it was perfect for the director.

“Want to get dinner?” Lexa asked.

“My dad is waiting for me. Maybe another time,” Clarke said before running out of the studio.

Lexa sat in the car, and felt like a fool… Maybe another time wasn’t exactly a rejection, but… Clarke used to be into her. Was she not anymore?

It wasn’t her fault Clarke was young. She didn’t want to go to jail, or be some mistake later on in Clarke’s career. There were so many horror stories, and memoirs out there. Even her father had to pay off a couple people from his past. Well his father Titus had…

“Come on Lexa… We have to film you finding the box…. Then you being chased, and slipping it into the bag that Clarke wins on the show.” Anya said, dragging her out of the vehicle.

Lexa used a rope to repel down, and then found the box… She pressed her mic, told Bellamy she found the piece, and then heard the sounds of gunfire. Her cue the connection was breaking and she had to escape.

It was fun doing her own stunts. Most of the time she wasn’t injured. She enjoyed repelling, and jumping onto the mats. She had always done so. As far back as she could remember she played on the stunt mats, and watched the stunt doubles performing stunts. It fascinated her. But it wasn’t a long term career she realized, but she wanted to do it as long as she could. So she decided to act, and her father agreed to get her stunt training.

After another late night on set, she decided it was best to just sleep in her trailer… If all went well, they would be back in the car tomorrow, and then filming in Clarke’s crummy apartment. Lexa would have a gunshot wound, she would take off her shirt. Clarke’s character would clean her up… They would kiss. Clarke’s phone would ring, and they would stay separated.

It was all well and good. Everything was running according to script until… “Thank you for saving me,” Clarke said and then placed a light kiss on her lips before pouring hydrogen peroxide on her. Lexa hissed and jumped back grabbing her arm. “Big baby,” Clarke rolled her eyes and then set out everything she would need to stitch the fake wound.

Lexa winched and hissed during the appropriate moments, as she asked Clarke a bit about herself. Clarke’s character was a talker… Like never shut up kinda talker… And it was good. Tires screeched, and that was the cue that everything was going to change.

Clarke left and Harper came in, but Lexa felt her absence. She hadn’t realized how much she had enjoyed her time with her. That the scene was actually going really well. Like it had during the helicopter scene. But now it was Harper's turn and they ran down a fire escape, and she broke into a car cutting herself again.

The Omega was back in, and Lexa was scolded the entire time she started the vehicle. Once it was started, and they were in position, she reached across Clarke and put on her seatbelt. “Since you are so concerned with safety…” Lexa said and realized that Clarke didn’t have the bag. Which was all part of the script.

Lexa didn’t get a break that day. She worked well into the night, and so did Clarke, and the longer it went on, the more frazzled the blonde seemed to get. “Are you okay?” Lexa asked as she brought her over a coffee… With cream.

“I just want to get this right so we can go home.” Clarke said before taking a sip of her drink.

“On nights like this I usually stay in my trailer.” Lexa confessed.

“I think I might have to. I am so exhausted. I don’t think I can make it home.”

“Want to just banter? Make it less serious, and lean into the frustration our characters feel for one another?”

“Sure… Hopefully Anya won’t hate it. I am not one to complain, but I am done. Today has been a long day.” Clarke finished her coffee and then gave her a caring look. “How is your tooth?”

“Hurts.”

“You should take something for the pain.” Clarke suggested, and thankfully Anya called for them to return to set.

Afterwards Lexa noticed Clarke walk into her trailer at the same time she walked into hers. She had some frozen pizza in the fridge, and a salad kit. Right now she could crush them both, but she decided that she could share.

Lexa walked over to Clarke’s trailer and knocked on the door. Clarke opened up and was wearing just a robe. “Ummm… You said maybe another night. How does pizza sound? My trailer in?” Lexa pretended to check her non-existent watch. “How about whenever you're ready it will be ready.”

Clarke gave her an exhausted smile. “Sure,” she smiled at her.

She practically skipped back to her trailer. The pizza was burnt… Which meant that she had to order in. Which wasn’t bad. She decided to get a couple different kinds of pizza. At least the salad kit she could assemble. Clarke had agreed to dinner with her… Just friends. She had to remind her raging Alpha who enjoyed all the kisses from the blonde a little too much. The improvised ones especially.

Pizza was on its way just as Clarke Griffin knocked on her door. She had no makeup on, and Lexa thought that that seemed to make her even more beautiful. “I burnt the pizza… Really Anya should have known better than to give me a trailer with an oven… But good thing there is delivery,” Lexa gave Clarke a hopeful smile, and she left out a soft laugh, and Lexa invited her into her trailer.

It was a lot darker than Clarkes. Some of the props from previous movies were up… All things that helped her get into a macho character. And then there was her softer side, and Clarke zeroed in on the candles. Not that she could smell them, but Clarke could and wrinkled her nose.

“Sorry,” Lexa said and looked at the labels trying to figure out which one the blonde didn’t seem to enjoy.

Clarke laughed and then blew out a couple for her. “Pumpkin spice, and clean linens… Vanilla… I like a little spice, but not in my candles. Lemon and clean linen should be okay today,” Clarke said.

“I just light them because I like them. They help me relax,” Lexa explained.

“Please don’t make me feel guiltier than I already do. I didn’t know you lost your sense of smell Lexa.”

Lexa didn’t want to go into that dark place. She hated that she couldn’t smell Clarke. She was an Omega, and in her space… Any Alpha would be salivating right now, but she couldn’t let herself get frustrated.

“But… I didn’t lose my sense of fun. Come on,” Lexa dragged her out of the trailer and over to Anya’s golf cart. She jumped in the drivers chair and Clarke sat beside her, and she found the key to start it and started to drive them to the front gate to get the pizza.

She tipped the driver whatever she had in her wallet, just to get rid of him and ran back to the cart with the pizzas. She handed them to Clarke and then drove them quickly back to the trailers, as she told Clarke a little bit about her life growing up on set, and Clarke did the same. They avoided talking about Princess on the Ground, and Lexa felt like it was going well for the most part.

They got back to her trailer and she pulled out a coke for herself, and Clarke went back into her trailer to grab a beer. She brought back 2, and Lexa thanked her, but told her she was too tired to drink, but didn’t allow Clarke to hold back on her account.

“I didn’t fuck up the salad,” Lexa said pulling it out of the fridge and then grabbing 2 forks.

Clarke smiled at her and grabbed a fork before taking a bite. “I would be worried if you had considered I have one of the same kits in my trailer. Though you did manage to burn a pizza. You aren’t much of a cook are you?”

“I can cook,” Lexa answered quickly. “I just wanted to shower before you got here, and lost track of time….”

“Right,” Clarke teased, and Lexa could only smile back at her. They started to eat the pizza and spoke about the movie. What they had noticed on set and such, but they avoided talking about their kiss.

After a while dinner was finished. There was no more extending it longer… Clarke had finished the other beer, and when she got up she was a little dizzy, and Lexa jumped up to steady her.

“Let me walk you to your trailer,” Lexa said.

“It’s literally next door.”

“I found a kid on set the other day. A kid. Anya has a pretty strict policy, but if a kid could get on set, who is to say there isn’t a creeper out there waiting for a pretty blonde to get back to her trailer.”

“You think I'm pretty?”

“I think that I should speak to HR before answering that question,” Lexa flirted, and Clarke laughed at her, and then let her walk her back to her trailer.

“Thank you for dinner Lexa.” Clarke said at the door to her trailer.

“No problem Clarke. Anytime…. You are surprisingly good company,” Lexa teased. Clarke scowled, but it was just endearing. “Lock the door Clarke and get some sleep. I can tell you some funny stories that happened to me and other actors on set that didn’t lock our trailer doors. So trust me. Lock it, and only open it, when Tris comes to get you for filming,” Lexa told her before slowly walking back to her own trailer.

When she got back inside she blew out the candles, and put away the pizza before turning off the lights. Then she got herself dressed down, and went into bed and fell asleep as she read the scenes for the following day. All the while forgetting to lock the door to her own trailer.

Chapter Text

The other night with Lexa had been magical. It brought her back to their younger years sneaking around set, trying to get away from their tutors… When they had been friends, and when Clarke had started to fall for the older Alpha.

No one compared to Lexa… Not in looks, not in attitude, and certainly not with their scent, or the way their lips pressed against hers. They were now into their third week of filming, and more of the other cast had arrived on set including Bellamy Blake.

“Princess,” he smiled and lifted her up and spun her around in front of the crew.

Finally they had gotten to the scenes where Bellamy was in them with Lexa. She knew that the two of them had worked on a few films together, and this was Bellamy’s first foray into the role of villain. So a lot of scenes needed to be reshot, because he kept breaking character, and sometimes she broke character because he did or said something funny.

“And…. Action,” Anya called for the 30th time today, and she could tell the older Alpha was getting pissed off… Bellamy flubbed a line again, and she knew she was pissed, by her smell. “CUT! Break for lunch, and you better pull yourself together Blake, or I will find someone who can actually say the lines as they are scripted.”

Bellamy approached her and pulled her aside. “Wanna get out of here. Grab a bite?”

“Sure,” Clarke agreed, just to get away from Anya’s angry pheromones that no one else could smell like her or Monty could.

The beta man led her off set and over to his jeep and he held open the door for her, as they drove off the lot she noticed Lexa watching them, and she noticed the frown on the Alpha’s face. It wasn’t the first time she had seen it since the others had arrived on set.

Bellamy took her to a place around the corner and they ordered, and took a seat by the window. He had her hands over hers, as he talked about his last film he was shooting, and how Octavia was going to meet them in barbados where the other scenes were set to be films. She missed O… She was the youngest of the cast of Princess on the Ground, and the Blake siblings' mother was in the industry as well.

They had all been friends growing up and she enjoyed catching up with him. So much so that she didn’t notice all the paparazzi that had started to appear outside of the restaurant. “Shit,” Bellamy swore.

Before they could do anything a fierce woman of color came back from the kitchen and started to yell at them. They backed away, but they were still there. One of them had figured out which vehicle they came in, and he and a couple others were waiting there for them.

“Which film?” The woman asked, pulling out her phone. “I cater for Into the Woods.”

“Anya Woods new project,” Clarke said and the woman just nodded and then went to the back.

Her phone got a message from Anya telling her to hold tight. “Anya told me to go back into the kitchen. Are you coming?” Bellamy asked.

No… Anya told her to hold tight. “I don’t think so. I think Anya plans to get us out in different ways.”

“You know I wouldn’t mind,” Bellamy said and Clarke looked up from her phone to look at him. “Being seen out with you. I know you try to keep your personal life private, but. It wouldn’t be bad press for the movie, and maybe we can go out on a proper date.”

This wasn’t a date was it? She had no room in her life for dating. “I’m not ready to date. Sorry Bellamy.”

Thankfully he didn’t press his luck by offering her a good time… He had done that with Raven and many other actresses, but he wasn’t a pressuring douchebag. He left the offer open to anyone who would take it, and apparently wasn’t horrible in bed… She just wasn’t interested.

“Sorry… I should have waited to ask. I know you are finalizing your ummm. The thing,” he said, realizing there were other people around.

“Yup,” she said, trying not to think about it.

His phone went off again, and he left her there, and promised to pay the check. So she grabbed a couple dollars and left it under the plate before pulling out her phone to check if Anya messaged her again… No message from Anya…

“I think your ride is here,” one of the servers said, and pointed to the door.

Most of the paparazzi were chasing after a truck that had Indra’s cafe written on it, but a few were looking at the person on a bike. The engine revved a few times and the driver looked her way… Lexa.

Clarke scurried from her seat, and Lexa put the helmet on her head, and then looked to make sure she was alright. She felt a little overwhelmed, but good. Lexa got on first, and revved the engine.

She wrapped her arms around Lexa and was met with muscle. The leather jacket she wore was as sexy as her jeans, and the scent she was emanating. Proud…

“Thank you for saving me Lexa,” Clarke said and then was rewarded with that same scent. Yup… Lexa was more than pleased to save her.

When they got back to set, Lexa turned off the bike in front of her trailer, and didn’t bother to say anything to her. She just walked into her own trailer, and Clarke heard the door click behind her. She didn’t even have Lexa’s number. She couldn’t message her, and thank her… Ugh, and she was an Alpha… Did she even like flowers?

Candles… Okay. She could do this. She went into her own trailer, used the washroom and then bought 20 unscented candles, which were ridiculously overpriced, but worth it. Hopefully Lexa would appreciate them.

The rest of the afternoon went by filming that scene with Bellamy, and he asked her out for dinner, and she noticed a muscle in Lexa’s jaw tick. “I think we are better off staying on set for our meals. Maybe after filming is done, we can all hang out together. Me, you, Tay, Linc… Anya,” and before Lexa could walk off. “How does that sound Lexa?”

“Sounds like you both will have a fun time,” Lexa grumbled and left.

For the rest of the week the Alpha avoided her. Not just that, but her dad was busy on set, and her… Her sister kept disappearing. She had hired a minder and a tutor and expected the experience to be similar to the one she had while on set of her dads movies, but her dad didn’t work on action movies.

She felt alone… and for years she hadn’t been alone.

When she noticed a large bouquet of roses on her table one afternoon she got excited, but couldn’t see a card anywhere. They also didn’t carry another scent on them.

Quickly she dialed her dad and told him she was on lunch. He came to the trailer, and noticed the flowers. “Where is Madi?”

“I thought she was with you.” Clarke questioned.

The tutor they hired opened up the trailer. “Have any of you seen Madi? She didn’t show up to class.”

Ohhh she was going to explode. Clarke left the trailer and walked around the studio looking for her sister… When she found her, her heart had its own little explosion.

Madi was with Lexa. The tatted up Alpha was sitting eating her sandwich as Madi placed stickers all over her face. Before she could take a step a voice that sent chills up her spine spoke to her.

“What is our daughter doing with that Alpha,” Finn Collins… The soon to be ex husband spoke up.

“She isn’t yours,” Clarke hissed. “And everyone here thinks Madi is my sister,” she said, looking around to make sure that no one was around to hear her. “How did you get in?”

Finn held up his camera, and took a photo of her, and she pushed the camera out of her face. “I’m here to take some pics, for the magazine. The director approved it.”

“Likely because she doesn’t know we are getting divorced,” Clarke hissed.

“No one knew we were married babe. You were the one who kept us in the closet… and my lawyer advised me not to sign the papers until after this movie hits theaters.”

“UGHHHH,” Clarke wanted to scream. Marrying Finn had been on a whim. Madi liked him, she had liked him… Until she realized that he… Liked a lot of other girls. “How much money Finn… just give me a bottom dollar amount.”

“One hundred million,” he stated, and she was thrown back. No way in hell.

Thankfully Madi barely remembered him. To her, he was just Finn… Not dad… Certainly not any type of father figure, because he couldn’t be bothered to attend recitals, as he was busy scamming young women out of their money.

“Is this man bothering you?” Lexa asked coming up to them, and she had been so in her own head she didn’t see her approach.

“Finn,” Madi stated, and Finn snapped a photo of her daughter, and Lexa grabbed his camera and smashed it on the ground.

“Leave. You didn’t have her parents permission to take that photo.”

“Lexa,” Madi’s lip quivered, and she could tell her daughter was scared. Lexa was pushing out some powerful pheromones, and she struggled to keep herself from submitting.

Finn dropped to his knees and bore his neck, but it didn’t seem like Lexa was done. She had never seen Lexa this pissed off before. “Lexa,” Madi started to cry.

“Shit,” Lexa swore, and then turned to Madi ignoring Finn. “Let’s go find your mommy, okay. Sorry for scaring you, but what that man did was wrong. I’m sorry Madi,” Lexa spoke softly, and pumped out such a calming scent compared to the one she had used on Finn, it blew Clarke’s mind.

Her ex laughed. “She’s right there, and I can take pics of my own kid.”

In one moment Lexa was shocked, and then hurt, and then, she couldn’t read her. Her scent wound tightly against her, and she just looked between herself, Finn, and then Madi.

“Sorry,” she said before taking off.

Clarke had her father take Madi home, and then she alerted security and had them remove Finn from the premises. He couldn’t say shit to the press, or else she would sue him, and he would have nothing.

Lexa wasn’t there… Anya called a wrap for the day, and then the Alpha came to her trailer to speak to her. “I’m sorry about earlier Clarke. Care to tell me what’s going on?”

Well… It was better she rip the bandaid. “I got married… and am in the midst of a divorce, but he won’t sign the papers.”

“Shit… I am so sorry. The kid though… She isn’t his. Not to sniff at your kid, but… ummm who is the sire?”

“I was drunk. I don’t remember,” she lied.

Anya glowered at her for a moment, and she stared right back before the director broke eye contact. “You want those papers signed? I have a good lawyer, send them to this address, and I guarantee they will be signed before next week,” Anya slid her a card, and she felt like it was too good to be true. But she still forwarded them the papers from her own lawyer.

The candles arrived, and she decided to bring them over to Lexa herself, so she went in early, knowing that the Alpha was one of the few people who also got to set early. Clarke knocked on her door, and Lexa’s pained voice came through the door. “Come in,” the Alpha said.

It was clear she wasn’t the person she had expected… In front of Lexa sat a bottle of whiskey, and the room reeked of alcohol… “You're married,” Lexa said and couldn’t even look up to speak to her.

“Seperated a month after saying our vows.”

Jealousy was swirling around the air as Lexa swirled her glass, and then took a sip before wiping her lips with her sleeve.

“Did you bite him?” Lexa looked up at her, and it looked like she had been crying.

Clarke wanted to ask so many questions, but by the looks of things Lexa was drunk, and it was best not to get into the deep stuff. “No, and his claim didn’t stick.”

Lexa unzipped her jacket, and then pulled off her shirt, and Clarke slowly approached her. “I brought you candles as a thank you. For you know, rescuing me the other day.”

“What do you see when you look at me?”

“Why?” Clarke asked, and noticed the pain in Lexa’s eyes. The unshed tears.

Feeling a little bold, and perhaps wanting to pull Lexa out of whatever funk she was in she gently touched Lexa’s unmarked shoulder. “Besides the obvious? I mean look at you.”

Lexa grabbed her hand and then placed it over her tattooed chest. The wolves… She noticed that they had raised eyes. “I said no to you years ago. I said mean things to make you not want me, and I did that to protect you… Now… I can’t look at you without wanting you. And when I do. I can’t help but wonder if you will accept me the way I am… Broken.”

“You aren’t broken,” Clarke grabbed her face, and made her look at her because she couldn’t stand to hear the pain in her voice.

“I took a vow of silence for a year because I got so drunk at a party, some Omega claimed me… And the mark stayed. I didn’t realize it until I got home. I raced back to the hotel, and they were gone. No trace. No name… Nothing… I got this tattoo. Of two wolves… Thought it was kinda cool, the eyes are raised because the claim stayed.”

Holy shit… Before she could say anything further Anya came into the trailer, and looked between the two of them. “Did you give her that?” Anya demanded getting up in her face and pointing to the bottle.

“No… I”

“I’m fine Anya,” Lexa slurred, and Anya threw the t-shirt at the Alpha.

“Griffin get to set,” Anya ordered, and before she could close the door, she heard what Anya said… 5 years down the drain.

Lexa had been sober. She didn’t accept her beer because she didn’t want one. Fuck… This made so much sense. Why she left her party, why she didn’t accept pain meds for her tooth. Fuck. They needed to talk.
​
The Alpha wasn’t on set today. Clarke was brought into the recording studio, and listened to what her father had written for the movie… A rock ballad. Not bad, but she was expected to sing it. So she needed to rehearse, and today, she was emotional, and that wasn’t good for her voice.

When she got home she hugged her little girl close, and wondered what her sire would do when they found out about her. Part of the reason she agreed so quickly to marry Finn was to keep the questions off of her… Her parents had helped, but they also pushed. Finn would be a perfect cover if news got out, and he agreed to fabricate their little lie if necessary.

So… between texting Raven, and watching TV with Madi as she started to fall asleep she formulated a plan… Jealous Lexa wasn’t a good thing. Not for either of them. Her scent affected her, and she didn’t want Lexa to drink.

If the Alpha felt the same way she did she could make this work. Though Lexa might hate this. She would make it work. Make them work. Break through all of her Alpha walls, until they were on the same page. She could do this… She was Clarke Griffin. Actress extraordinaire.

Chapter Text

For a week straight she kept on running into Madi, and slowly the kid started to open up more to her. Well when she felt like answering her questions. Which wasn’t often. Lexa spotted her hiding some days, and then would disappear and sneak up on her. Then she showed her the best spots to hide in the studio and a tiny bond was formed.

She felt oddly protective over Madi. She was a sweet kid. Also a set kid… Just like she had been, and though she had siblings, it was lonely. So she could relate to her, and tried to make things fun for her, just like her father, and his friends had done for her.

Lexa had no idea Clarke had a kid. No fucking clue… She also didn’t realize she was married.

So many emotions poured through her at once, and she couldn’t handle it. She didn’t know how to handle it. So she drove down the street, bought 2 bottles of whiskey, and returned to her trailer, because Anya told her to go home, so she wouldn’t be looking for her in her trailer.

Clarke arrived… Her body longed to be touched by her. She ached to press her lips to hers… But Clarke wasn’t hers…

After an embarrassing 2 days at the studio she spoke to Derrek, and then her old sponsor made time for her. The woman was great. Older, and had time for her. Which was important. She needed to be able to call someone whenever, and have them pick up, because what she was going through was hard, and she didn’t have anyone to talk to about it.

All the scenes she had to shoot with Clarke and everyone else were rough. She couldn’t even turn to look at Clarke, because she was embarrassed at the state she had found her in. At the way she grabbed her hand and dragged it across her chest to her scars. It was inappropriate and likely ruined any chance she had of developing a friendship with the woman.

“Lexa. Can we run lines?” Clarke suggested.

“I can't, I am having lunch with someone,” Lexa lied…

She ate lunch alone, and then came out of her trailer ready for the next scene. Clarke was there waiting for her, and she got up from her table and followed her to set. “In case I wasn’t clear I wish to speak to you, and I won’t take no for an answer Alpha,” Clarke dropped her tone and her designation on Clarke’s lips brought pleasure to her.

Clarke gave her a knowing smile, and lifted her brow at her, and Lexa pulled in her scent hoping that no one noticed. They did the scene, and then she was called over to the stunt stage.

The Omega had never visited her on the stunt stage… She had shown it to Madi, and noticed the kiddo beside her mom. They kinda looked alike. The kid had Clarke’s eyes, and lips, but that was about all she got from her mom.

“Cue explosions,” Anya shouted.

Sound effects went off, but they wouldn’t be the ones used during the movie… Lexa was thrown back, and then scrambled to her feet, and ran off to the side… Anya called for it to happen again and again, and she knew she nailed it each and every time, and that this was just for punishment.

“Cut,” Anya screamed and Lexa was helped out of her gear.

Knowing that Clarke would keep chasing her she decided to approach her. “I think I am done for the day,” Lexa ran her fingers through her hair pushing back her unruly braids, and feeling the layer of sweat on the shaved part of her head.

“So am I… I promised Madi Ice Cream. Want to join?” Clarke asked.

Ice cream didn’t seem bad. “Sure… Just let me get changed.”

Clarke and Madi were waiting for her outside of her trailer, and Madi jumped up to pull on her hand hurrying her into the parking lot, as Clarke followed after them, and laughed a little. When Lexa turned back Clarke was biting her lip slightly and that did something to her. A lot of things to her.

Not quite sure what to do when they arrived at Clarke’s car, she wasn’t given much choice. “You have to buckle me in,” Madi ordered, and Lexa struggled with the straps, and Clarke leaned in on the other side to help her out. “Lexa can sit back here with me,” Madi tried to pat the seat beside her, but her chair was too high.

“Lexa can sit up here with me,” Clarke said and Lexa realized she didn’t care about leaving her bike at the studio.

The Omega drove them out of the city, and Madi asked her question after question, and she answered them as best as she could. Madi, of course, had seen Princess on the Ground. So her questions were about that at times, and sometimes other movies, and her favorite question from her was why are your muscles so big? Because it made Clarke blush.

When they arrived at the ice cream parlor Lexa got out, and found out that Madi had already unbuckled herself. She didn’t need her help getting out of the seat. She just wanted her to catch her as she jumped from Clarke’s SUV.

“I got this,” Lexa said, pulling out her wallet, before Clarke could object.

Madi got chocolate ice cream, Clarke canceled her order of whisky hazelnut and ordered mint chocolate chip… So she ordered whiskey hazelnut, and dared Clarke to say something because she noticed the way she looked at her right after placing her first order, before canceling it for mint chocolate chip.

“Trade,” Lexa ordered when they got outside. Madi had taken a spot on the picnic table and was looking out at the water. “Stubborn,” Lexa growled lowly and then licked the bit of ice cream dripping down her cone. “It’s okay Clarke.” She reassured her.

“Can we play on the sand?” Madi asked.

“Do you like swimming?” Lexa asked Madi and she nodded enthusiastically. “I have a pool. Why don’t you and your mom come over before we fly off to film the rest of the movie,” Lexa suggested.

“Like tomorrow?” Madi asked and looked between them.

“Sure. I have a day off. Do you?” Lexa asked Clarke.

Clarke shook her head. “No… I’m supposed to record with my father tomorrow. My mom is supposed to watch Madi, but…”

“Grandmas on a bender,” Madi sighed and spread her arms out on the table, and Lexa was floored. She looked up at Clarke and Clarke nodded sadly.

“Do you think you could watch her?” Clarke asked.

“I… Ughh…” Lexa wasn’t sure what to say.

“I can sleep over with her tonight. Leave for work, and then you can look after her during the day, and as soon as I am done recording I can bring back some pizza.”

The Omega was offering to sleep over… The Omega suggested sleeping over… Her entire ice cream fell into her lap. What was left of it at least. It melted and she swiped at it with napkins, and then Clarke’s hands were helping hers, and she had to grab her wrists, because she was getting too close, to something that got super excited about having an Omega over for a sleepover.

“Clarke,” Lexa squeaked in warning, and then Clarke looked down.

“Oh,” Clarke said and pulled back. “Oh,” she said again and then this time had a smirk on her face. “So Lexa… Do you think you can manage a sleepover?”

“Please… Please please please,” Madi pleaded.

Lexa groaned because she wasn’t sure if she could actually handle a sleepover. “Let’s go get your things… And dinner. What are you two feeling? Do you like thai?” Lexa asked Madi.

“Spring rolls, mild pad thai please, no tofu, extra peanuts, with chicken.” Madi said and threw out the rest of her cone in the garbage can. “Come on… We have to get packed mom.” Madi said, urging them along oblivious to the problem that Lexa was having.

Inside of Clarkes vehicle the Omega leaned across the seat and pulled out a bag of baby wipes and dropped them on her pants perfectly covering the outline of her cock, and Lexa knew she had been staring.

Madi sang along to her cd, and then when it changed, she heard a song she hadn’t listened to in a couple weeks… Clarke had put the mixtape in the cd player. Now the Omega was quickly trying to change it, but accidentally ejected the disk, and Lexa snatched it up.

“I rather liked track 3,” Lexa smiled and then handed it back to Clarke so that the Omega could focus on driving instead of trying to get back the CD.

Lexa rarely pumped out her scent. Especially in vehicles, but she wanted to let Clarke know it was okay. Madi wouldn’t be affected by her scent, but the Omega beside her, no longer shot her nervous glances, and Lexa went back to trying to get ice cream out of her clothes but her skin was already sticky.

The kid was right about grandma being on a bender…. Clarke didn’t want her to come inside the house, but she was worried. She stopped worrying when Jake came out, and he pulled his drunken wife back inside the house.

She opened up her phone to keep herself from looking. It was none of her business. Lexa noticed a couple articles about her saving Clarke. A few speculated that Bellamy and Clarke were dating. But a few had fallen down the reddit rabbit hole and were speculating that they were actually something. If only that were true.

A knock on the window, and she realized she couldn’t roll it down because Clarke had the keys. She opened up the door and stepped out to see Jake Griffin.

“You break her heart, and my next CD will be dedicated to ripping you apart.”

“Okay T-swift,” Clarke teased. “Ignore him.” Clarke said and placed a bag for herself and Madi in the boot of her vehicle.

Jake was surprisingly lighthearted. He had been teasing her, and Clarke called him out on it. Lexa never would have known if he was teasing her or not. She was terrible at figuring shit like that out.

“I have no intention of hurting your daughter,” she smiled and stuck out her hand for him to shake. He did so and she squeezed his fingers a little harder than necessary because she was a Woods. “I promise she is safe under my protection. As is Madi,” Lexa smiled at the little girl and pretended like she didn’t see Jake wince or shake his hand.

“Alphas,” he grumbled. “By baby girl, and baby girl's baby,” Jake said to the Griffin girls, and then waved to them as Clarke drove them off the Griffin property.

Normally she wasn’t one to give out her address, but she put it in Clarke’s GPS. They all stayed quiet on the drive over to her place. Madi was rather morose after seeing her grandmother that way.

“Wow,” Madi said as they started to drive by the newer properties.

While the Griffins lived in an older part of Hollywood, Lexa lived in a new part. One where people had too much money. Her neighbor had a helipad on his roof, and didn’t even have a license to fly the thing. It just sat there year round, and at christmas time he would light it up. And he still hadn’t taken down his decorations.

They pulled up to her gate and she told Clarke the code to get in, and then she had her park outside the front of the house. Being polite she grabbed both of the girls bags, and then pressed the door code into the house.

Madi entered and looked around in wonder. “Where are your mommy and daddy?”

“My dad lives down the road… My mom… She passed when I was a little younger than you.”

“Oh,,, Sorry,” Madi said, and she was proud of Clarke for not cutting in. Some parents would have already had their children apologize, but it was never a kids fault. She had learned so much in therapy. More than she did from studying for any character.

“Let me show you where you can stay,” Lexa said, bringing them up the stairs to the guest floor that she didn’t use… Anya had a room, just like she had a room at her place. Lincoln as well.. It was kinda a rule they made. Each of them had their own houses, and each had a room in said house for whenever they needed to visit.

Madi ran up the stairs and entered each and every room. “Madi, you can have this room,” Lexa said, bringing her down the hall to a room that no one had claimed. It was really a room that had a bunch of her old things that she had outgrown, but didn’t want to get rid of yet. It was where she had found Clarke’s mixtape.

“Cool,” Madi said, grabbing a prop sword.

“It’s just a prop,” Lexa assured Clarke, who gave her knowing smile.

“I know… Princess on the ground Season 3 episode 7,” Clarke said and they left Madi in the room holding a prop sword, and pretending like she was fighting bad guys.

“You can stay in this room,” Lexa opened the door to the room across the hall for her, and it had a perfect view of the city.

“Can we have that talk after Madi falls asleep?” Clarke asked.

Lexa nodded her head, because she couldn’t trust her words. Before she could step close to Clarke she felt the foam sword stab her. “Help… I’m dying,” Lexa reached her hand out to Clarke as she fell, and both Griffins laughed.

Back downstairs, she took a shower, and handed Clarke her phone to place an order for pick up… The Omega wanted to order on hers, but she argued she didn’t have the address, or code to give the driver. Clarke gave in, and Lexa scrubbed her body trying to get all the sticky ice cream off of her.

When she got out of the shower, she needed to decide on an outfit. She pulled some on her california king bed, but didn’t like any of them. Not one… And Madi was here with them so some outfits she just couldn’t wear.

Pjs… She could do that. Except she didn’t wear pajamas… Instead she decided on compression shorts, she put on a sports bra, and then grabbed a sleeveless shirt. To complete it all she decided to put her feet in a pair of loafers she wore around the house, and ventured into the kitchen.

In front of Madi were a bunch of different drink options… None of them seemed to appeal to the kid, and Clarke looked like she was about to lose her mind.

“Why don’t we go to the store tomorrow. Get some things for you to drink around the pool. But for now… I can make us some chocolate milk,” Lexa suggested, and Clarke looked very relieved at the suggestion. She knew Madi liked chocolate milk. She had seen her drink it a few times around set.

“I didn’t see any in your fridge.” Clarke opened it up and looked again, and Lexa started to put some of the drink options back in the fridge, but kept out the milk because she would need that.

Lexa grabbed her phone and groaned when she realized that food wouldn’t be there for another hour. “Why don’t you go take a bath and relax Clarke. I can make Madi some chocolate milk, and show her how I got such big muscles,” Lexa flexed for both of their benefit, and Clarke rolled her eyes but didn’t turn her down.

“I didn’t see a tub in the washroom upstairs.”

“Follow me,” Lexa walked her down the hall and into her bedroom, and into the large master bathroom with a soaker tub. “Lighter is just on the counter if you feel like candles. But… take your time. Food should be here in an hour. We can eat. Watch a movie. It’s been awhile since I have watched a cartoon,” Lexa smiled, and then got serious because the blonde had been asking for it, and perhaps they needed it. “Then we can talk.”

She left the washroom, and closed the door. Then for good measure closed the door to her bedroom before heading into the kitchen and opening the door to her cupboard. “Drink that,” she pushed a glass of water towards Madi and waited for her to drink it before grabbing her protein powder, and shaker bottles.

Next she opened them both up and poured in the milk before pushing the tub of powder over to Madi. “One scoop of chocolate in each please,” she said, and Madi eagerly reached into the tub and grabbed one giant scoop adding them to each. Lexa then closed the tub and put it back where she got it from before rolling the metal balls to Madi. Without being instructed she added one to each of the cups, and then Lexa added the lids.

“Now we shake,” she said, and shook one bottle while Madi shook the other… “Good. Now we put these in the fridge, and head down to the basement,” she told Madi, who got off the chair and carried her drink over to the fridge with 2 hands.

Downstairs in her workout room she lifted weights, and realized she had no smaller sizes… So she helped Madi bench press a bar without weights, and then she did a couple sets with weights and Madi jumped on the bar.

“ARGGGHH” Lexa playfully growled as she pushed the bar and Madi off of her chest.

It hurt a bit… So she went over safety protocol. Madi apologized, and then she got her on the treadmill as she climbed up the stair climber trying to make the most of working out before dinner arrived.

Madi started to huff and puff a bit like she was, but she put in a couple more mins before looking over at the young future actress. “Let’s switch,” Lexa suggested, and Madi’s eyes lit up and she came over to climb the stair climber at a low setting as she full on sprinted for 10 minutes before deciding she had sweat enough.

“I’m hungry,” Madi stated, and Lexa helped her put one of the weights she had dragged back in place.

Lexa took her upstairs and set the shake in front of her. “Shake it first,” she said to Madi and then shook her own and opened it to drink it all quickly in one sitting before rinsing it and putting it in the dishwasher.

“What do you think?” She asked, turning back to face Clarke’s daughter.

“I like it,” Madi smiled and there was a small ring of chocolate on her upper lip. Lexa got a paper towel and cleaned her face before putting it down in front of her. Madi finished her drink and then she brought her over to the living room and set up the TV…. She didn’t have a kids channel, but netflix did so she decided on letting Madi choose the movie.

Using her phone she checked to see that her driver would be there any minute, and opened the front door to meet him at the gate.. She could use the walk so she headed over, tipped him well, and grabbed the food to bring back to the house. As she walked up the drive she nearly dropped the food. Clarke was in her room in only a towel. The Omega had forgotten to bring in clean clothes.

She rushed into the house, and then knocked on her bedroom door. “Ummm just a minute,” Clarke called and she could hear how nervous she was.

“Top left boxers, middle right shirts, middle left shorts, bottom left sweatpants. Help yourself. Dinner is here,” Lexa left quickly without bothering to hear Clarkes reply.

Her cock stirred at seeing the Omega in her clothing. They hadn’t even shared a real kiss, and well.. She wanted her. She wanted to claim Clarke. How quickly she got over the broken nose incident… Her Alpha quickly dismissed it now as a story to tell their children and Lexa had to agree. Clarke looked amazing.

“Madi, why don’t you change into your pajamas, and I will help Lexa set out dinner,” she said as she toweled her hair.

The kid ran up the stairs to get changed leaving them alone, and Lexa pulled out a couple bottles of water, and a gatorade for herself, before offering one to Clarke. “No thank you,” Clarke smiled. “Can I help you pull out plates?”

“Don’t laugh… But…” Lexa reached into her cupboard and pulled out paper plates. Then she grabbed actual utensils. “I just find it easier with take out. Don’t ask me why… But I promise I have real plates in there, but when I want to eat take out by the tv. I prefer paper plates.”

Clarke cocked her eyebrows, but just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. “Good to know… We will have it your way tonight then Alpha,” Clarke dropped the word like she had no idea how it affected her.

The Omega opened up the containers and took a bite of a spring roll before offering her the other half, and Lexa greedily accepted it. “Mmmm,” she moaned. “Thank you Omega…” Lexa smirked and pumped out her own scent a bit to let Clarke know how pleased she was by the action.

Madi was aghast that her mother had a spring roll without her. Clarke made her kid a plate before making one for herself, and Lexa waited until they both got what they wanted before diving in. She could easily finish everything that Clarke ordered, but the Omega didn’t know that.

After dinner Madi was happy to be able to just throw her plate in the garbage, and she flashed Clarke a dazzling smile that had the Omega shaking her head. “Let’s finish the movie and then it's time for bed,” Clarke ordered.

The kid couldn’t decide who she wanted to cuddle with and then Lexa was jumped on, and Clarke brought a blanket to cover the two of them, and Lexa shifted over so she wasn’t in the corner, and Clarke could squeeze in on her other side, but the Omega waved her off.

“What are you doing?” Lexa asked, as the Omega had been on her phone.

Clarke had a teasing glint in her eye. “Just checking out Instagram… Not sure if you know this but there is a certain account dedicated to you, and I am seeing if today's ice cream escapade made it on.”

Lexa’s eyes widened… She knew exactly what account Clarke was looking at, and she asked META and what have you to take it down time and time again, but nope… Fan accounts were allowed, and none of the photos violated their policy. Lexas Wood…

“I didn’t know you ran that account,” Lexa decided to tease feeling a little brave.

“Too bad I forgot to take a picture earlier. It would have been a good one.”

Lexa groaned and Madi grumbled about her pillow moving, but she was almost dead asleep. She smiled down at the little girl and pulled up the blanket a bit to cover her shoulder, before turning back to the movie.

Domestic bliss… Was this what it was like?

“Care to get in one last workout?” Clarke asked and gestured to Madi, and Lexa nodded in understanding.

She scooped the little girl up and carried her up the stairs, and into the room she was staying in. There was a night light guiding the way that she knew she didn’t purchase, so they must have brought it with them. It was cute, and gave off a green glow, and Clarke quickly stepped over to the bed and pulled back the covers, and Lexa placed the kid down, and Clarke adjusted her position before pulling up the sheets, and placing a well loved stuffy beside her, that the girl instantly clutched to her.

Clarke led her into the bedroom, and stepped to the window which had a beautiful view of the skyline. “This room has the best view,” Lexa smiled and stepped up beside Clarke, and their fingers brushed.

The Omega took her larger hand in her own. “We both have baggage. I know you were drunk when you made a certain confession, but I can’t stop looking at you either Lexa… So…” The Omega turned and they faced one another.

Soft fingers reached up hesitantly to touch the eyes of the wolves, and Clarke brushed her fingertips over the marks. “I can look past these marks, if you can look past me having a daughter.” Clarke was firm in her words but all Lexa could concentrate on was her touch. It just felt right. The emptiness went away, and somehow… Clarke had filled it.

“Can I kiss you?” Lexa asked nervously… “For real? I have wanted to for so long, and sometimes I flub my lines right after you kiss me because I want you to do it again, and sometimes because my mind just melts, because every touch of your body against mine is electric,” Lexa confessed.

Clarke chuckled softly, and Lexa opened her eyes. “Kiss me Lexa… Because I feel the exact same way,” Clarke said and Lexa could tell the Omega was pumping out her pheromones because of how thick the air felt around her.

Lexa leaned down and captured her lips, and pulled Clarke closer to her. She lifted her up and then walked backwards and fell on the bed with Clarke on top of her as she chased her lips. The Omega purred and scratched up and down her abs before groaning, and breaking the kiss.

“Slow… We should go slow.” Clarke fell into the crook of her arm, and Lexa rolled over to look at her.

“We can go as slow as you want. I am so sorry for hurting you all those years ago. You were young Clarke. I didn’t want to be the person you looked back on as ruining your childhood. Your innocence. But… I’m all in now. And I am going to prove that to you. I can go slow. I can be there for you, when you need me. I can help out with Madi. I… I just want a chance to prove to you I’m not an asshole.”

“I’ve dated assholes… You're not an asshole… You are kinda a softy, and I like that.”

“Not everything is soft,” Lexa felt a little flirtatious.

Clarke shook her head… “Your abs are certainly not soft…” Clarke sighed and then looked at her watch to check the time. “I need to be at the recording studio in 8 hours.”

“I can drop you off. I was thinking of getting some juice for Madi, and Madi some kid size weights for the gym.”

“Sure… That would be nice, and I am sure Madi would love to spend the day with you. Just don’t get roped into buying her stickers, and don’t allow her to put them in your car or you will spend hours getting them off the seats,” Clarke warned, and Lexa gave her a kiss before pulling back the sheets for her, and teasingly tucking her in the same way she tucked in Madi.

When she got back to her own room she set an alarm for 6 hours… got maybe 5 hours of sleep and started some coffee for Clarke… She had some bagels, but kids didn’t like those.. They liked pancakes, so she pulled out her phone and picked a recipe that she had the ingredients for and got to work.

The kitchen was a mess by the time Madi came downstairs. The kid was holding her mother, but once she noticed her she was scrambling out of her mothers arms, and sat herself in front of a large stack of pancakes.

“Good morning,” she said and pushed Clarke her coffee with cream over to her, and then poured a glass of orange juice for Madi.

“I see you do have actual plates,” Clarke said.

“Reserved for meals cooked in this kitchen,” Lexa teased, and brought a plate over to her.

“So… I was thinking maybe I should drop you off in your car, and then pick out a car seat with Madi while we shop, and then I can pick you up in my car.” Lexa stated the plan she had come up with because she felt more comfortable in her own vehicle, and she looked up how to install a car seat and it seemed as complicated as removing one, so in her head it was better this way.

“Did you order a uhaul as well Woods?”

Lexa shrugged… She liked banter with Clarke. “I was thinking of just clearing out a truck from the studio… Why pay some other company for their vehicles, when I have some of my own.”

That got a laugh out of Clarke, and the Griffins ate quickly and soon they were out the door. Clarke drove them to the recording studio, and some guy was standing there holding a coffee for her, and Lexa felt herself grow jealous, but Clarke placed a hand on her chest, as she handed her the keys and kissed her cheek.

“Lexas Wood is mine now… As much as Clarke Griffin's tits are yours… I saw your search history commander,” Clarke said and the keys rattled, as she patted her chest, and Lexa felt slight embarrassment, but Clarke had looked her up as well. So.. It was lessened.

She grabbed her hand before pulling out her phone. “What’s your number?” Lexa asked.

“I put it in your contacts last night Alpha… Have a good day, and not too much sugar,” Clarke warned, and then went to the backseat to give Madi a kiss goodbye, but the kid was already half asleep again at the early morning hour.

One place she knew that was open at this hour was the gym. So she drove over to the one she used when she wanted to get out of the house, and carried Madi into the gym. The clinking woke her up, and Lexa sat her down and bought a couple of waters for them, because she found water always helped to wake her up in the morning.

“Let’s go see a man about some weights,” she said, taking Madi over to one of the girls who worked the desk.

“But that's a woman,” Madi pointed out.

“Just a saying kid…” Lexa said and then looked at the girl behind the desk. “I need some weights.. For ummm her. Smallest sizes you got, or can order in.”

“Ship to the house?” The woman asked.

“Yeah… If it’s alright I think we are going to do some lifting, and then get a massage. If you have any appointments available.”

The woman looked like she had gone crazy. “You are Lexa Woods right?”

“Yesss? Is there a problem?”

“No.. No problem… Do you want your usual massage?” The woman asked and then gestured to the kid and Lexa realized what the hell she meant… On occasion she was known to get a special massage from one of the girls at the gym.

“Nope.. Not this time. Same room is fine to…”

“You will have to fill this out for her,” The woman said, handing her her forms. “We should have someone in in the next hour, but it will only be for thirty minutes, because we are all booked up.”

“Sounds good… Thanks,” Lexa said, waving the form at her as she brought Madi over to the free weight section and helped her with her stance… Thank goodness they had one pound weights. She worked out with Madi for a bit showing her different workouts, before looking at the form, and filling it out. The kid wasn’t going to die from a massage…

After another half workout, she brought Madi over to the massage area, and handed the other receptionist the filled out form. They went into the same room, and she made sure that their clothes stayed on and helped Madi climb up onto the table, and showed her to stick her face in the small spot for it.

Once that was done, Madi had the cutest little yawns and stretches, and asked to be carried into the car so she brought her into it, and noticed that it was time for the local walmart to be open so she also carried her inside the store and had her pick out her own car seat…

Then the pleading began, and she had to concede to a couple things because she didn’t have many kids over at her house. Then she realized she knew a couple and they were about Madi’s age so she phoned Derrek, told him it wasn’t about a session, but invited him and the kids over to swim, and Luna as well if she wasn’t working.

Though she went into Walmart for one thing she ended up buying a lot of things. Toys for Madi, a couple books for her to read, a blanket because it had a unicorn on it, some markers and a coloring book. Basically the things kids her age played with when they weren’t allowed on an ipad, and Madi wasn’t allowed much screen time. She complained about it the third time they hung out, after Lexa had already allowed her to use her phone to watch youtube.

Then on top of the other items, there was also food. The kid needed to eat, and picked out a lot of junk food. Half of which she put back… But she did grab some hot dogs and buns, as well as pre-cut fruit because Derrek, Luna, and the kids were coming over.

Lexa looked through her contacts, and snapped a photo of Madi to send to Clarke. Madi sat on the back of Clarkes SUV and behind her were all the things she had ended up buying on top of the car seat.

On the way back to her place she saw a flower shop and circled the block to get back to it, and found a parking space… Flowers would be good. She had to pick up Clarke, and she couldn’t just appear empty handed. Madi was pretty helpful… Her mother didn’t like roses because they were cliche. Which made all the other choices easier to make, and since she couldn’t decide she got a few of all of them, and was given a very large bouquet.

Back at her place she told Madi to get dressed for the pool, and set everything where it needed to be… Which was by the outdoor fridge, and grill so she wouldn’t have to go back inside to get everything later. Then she unpacked everything they had bought and kept a Madi bag, packed, and put out all the toys and things she could share with Adria and Arthur out.

It would be a little while until they arrived, and Madi wanted to go on her ipad but she convinced her to go on a run with her instead. Just a short one. To the main gate and back. Lexa picked her up and sprinted the rest of the way back to her place as Madi laughed her head off, and she already knew that today was going to be a good day.

Luna, Derrek, Adria, and Arthur arrived, and came in through the back yard, with their ancient pup who sought out the shade of her umbrella. Madi loved the dog. It was the first thing she asked the kids about, and they seemed to strike up a friendship.

She had bought floaties for Madi, and the kids, and a couple pool noodles, and tossed them in the pool before jumping in herself. Luna and Derrek joined her in swimming and they played a couple games with the kids to keep them entertained before she decided to work on her tan.

“She looks like you,” Luna said and Lexa cocked her head to the side and looked at Madi… In the water her ears were out, and they were tiny.. She had always been insecure about her ears.

But Lexa found that she didn’t mind that Luna said that Madi looked like her. She would be proud to have a daughter as brave as Madi. She was fearless, and often did her own thing. She was intuitive, and knew when to apologize. She was also smart. Something she wasn’t at that age.

Lexa took a couple more photos of Madi and sent them to Clarke… Who had added a couple Emojis, and additives to her name included an oven rack, that Lexa quickly deleted, but at least it was appropriate in case anyone else saw it, hopefully they wouldn’t get it. Perhaps a parachute emoji would have been more accurate, because she was falling for her… Hard.

Chapter Text

As she recorded she put her phone on silent, but she checked it whenever they took a break. She was recording with a lot of her fathers band, and his younger music producer. The one that had Lexa all jealous this morning, and scent marking her without her even realizing it.

When she took a break she read the messages, and noticed a lot of pictures from Lexa which put a smile on her face. But after getting back to everyone she needed to, she started to look up Lexa’s condition. Which was rare. All she could think about was how depressing it must be to not be able to smell anything. Especially being an Alpha. She wanted Lexa to be able to smell her, to know that she only smelled a certain way for her… Because of her.

But it was because of her. All of it. All the confusion, and the depression that Lexa felt. It was all her fault. All of it.

Clarke went back to focusing on the song, and they played it at different speeds, until the producer liked it. Her father wrote it to be performed a certain way, and she felt she did it justice, while also bringing her own artistic flair. It would be played differently in the opening scene compared to the end credits, and she had done justice to both versions in her opinion and texted Lexa that she was ready to be picked up.

A black muscle car pulled up outside of the studio, and Lexa rolled down the windows, and Madi waved to her from the back seat. Clarke got into the vehicle and she was overwhelmed by the scent of flowers.

“Lexa and I picked these out for you Mommy,” Madi smiled happily and struggled to move the bouquet.

It was big. Too big. Ridiculously big, but Clarke couldn’t help but smile. She gave Madi a squeeze on her leg. “What did you do today?” Clarke asked her daughter curious as to what they actually got up to because Lexa just messaged her a bunch of images.

“Lexa took me to the gym, we got massages, we then went and got a seat, and then Lexa invited friends over for me to play with, we had hot dogs, and fruit…. And now,” Madi said dramatically. “We are going to the movies.”

The Alpha glanced over at her and gave her an encouraging smile. She felt exhausted, and was rather envious of her daughter getting a massage. She wanted one desperately but didn’t have time to fit one into her busy schedule.

“We are headed to the drive-in… I hope you like concession food Griffin,” Lexa flashed her a dazzling smile, and she decided that the calories would be worth it.

When they arrived, they were one of the first cars there, and Lexa brought them inside and into the line and Madi asked to be picked up so Lexa just lifted her up without arguing and then talked Madi out of a bunch of sugary choices.

The Alpha ordered popcorn and M+Ms, plus an entire pizza for them all to share. Madi was excited to get pop from a machine, and Clarke was just excited to be out with them both. They looked so cute together. Like they belonged together…

Clarke found herself carrying the food and napkins to the car while Lexa juggled Madi, and a tray of drink for them. When she pulled back the seat to let Madi into the back she noticed that her daughter had everything she needed. Her stuffy, and a new blanket with a unicorn. Madi got herself set up in her carseat, and Lexa handed her her drink and she put it in the cupholder.

“Move your flowers mommy and come eat with me,” Madi ordered, and Lexa popped the trunk, and Clarke brought the flowers to it, and noticed a blanket and a couple chairs.

“In case you're comfortable sitting outside. Though there may be bugs… I just wanted to be prepared. I wasn’t sure if you would be too tired. And Madi came up with the idea. So… Welcome to our first date.” Lexa smiled, and Clarke leaned in to kiss her before pulling back and grabbing the blanket from the trunk.

She set it out beside the vehicle and Lexa pulled Madi back out of the car, and she sat down with them and ate a slice of pizza, as they waited for the opening show to begin. She loved the drive in. It had been so long since she had been.

Lexa laid down on the blanket and then Madi wanted to lay down and the Alpha pointed up at the sky. Clarke joined them and Lexa reached for her hand, and Clarke intertwined their fingers as Lexa told Madi a story about the stars as they started to come out.

When the movie started Lexa packed everything up and she got Madi tucked in her car seat with her own smaller bag of popcorn. It seemed like the Alpha wasn’t concerned about her daughter making a mess in her perfectly clean car.

After the first movie Madi was asleep and Lexa drove them over to a different screen. Which she knew they weren’t allowed to do, but what parent with small kids didn’t. Lexa parked the car, and Clarke decided that there was too much space between them and it wasn’t comfortable.

The Alpha rolled down the car windows, and then brought out the chairs, and Clarke grabbed the blanket, and threw it over the two of them as they sat beside one another. Lexa placed an arm around her shoulder and kissed her head before pulling back to watch the movie.

It was oddly professional. It was the first date she had ever been on where someone hadn’t tried to get in her pants, and when she went back to their place, she slept in a different bed from them entirely.

Lexa had to leave early to go to set, but came into her room with a coffee and the bouquet of roses from the other night. “See you at work, beautiful,” Lexa said and kissed her on the mouth without complaining about morning breath, or anything, and it was so… nice.

There was no other word for it. Being with Lexa felt natural. Not just for her, but for Madi as well. So much so when her daughter woke up, she was sad that Lexa wasn’t there, but was assured that she would see the Alpha again on set later.

She didn’t need to go in… Anya didn’t call her in, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t hang out with Lexa… she wasn’t sure what else she would do today. Anya gave her the weekend to record, and she finished the recording.

“Can we watch Lexa?” Madi asked her.

Clarke wanted to say yes, but realized that she could use this. “If you do your work on your ipad, and don’t run off from your minder. I will see if Lexa has a scene you can watch.”

“Okay…”

Sometimes it was like pulling teeth. She had never been this rambunctious as a child. Madi was a rule breaker a lot of the time, but she had her moments as well. She was a rather sweet kid, but was determined to do her own thing, and that… That she got from her sire.

“Clarke,” Anya called, seeing her walk across the set. “What are you doing here?

“I thought I would come in and rehearse. Maybe start cleaning out my trailer, because we start filming on location soon.” Clarke lied.

Anya shrugged… “While I have you here, we aren’t leaving until after valentine's day. So… The studio would like it if you and Lexa are seen in public before then.”

“Okay… But only if Lexa agrees.”

“She already did. Just up to you both to plan logistics now.” Anya said before taking off…

Her father called her later that day, and she broke down as Madi watched Lexa perform her scenes with Raven. Her Alpha was super into stunts. It was something she didn’t know she did, but Lexa did them all… And it worried her. She didn’t like seeing the Alpha put herself at risk. The car flip looked really bad, but Lexa walked away just fine, but she knew in their line of work one day… She might not be able to walk away.

That just added to the tears, and that was how Lexa found her. “Mommy,” Madi was concerned, and so was Lexa, she could tell by the way she blasted comforting pheromones into her trailer, and it helped. Slowly she pulled herself together.

“Did you have fun on set?” Clarke asked, trying to shift the attention off of her.

“What’s wrong?” Madi asked, avoiding her question.

“Lex,” Clarke looked up at the Alpha. “Can we stay at your house tonight?”

“Of course. Let me just bring this back to wardrobe and tell Anya I'm leaving,” Lexa said and when she left Clarke felt her absence, and only kept herself together for Madi.

Madi decided that they needed happy food, and happy food was ice cream. So as Madi ate her ice cream, and walked ahead of them to the park, she held Lexa’s hand and then leaned against her shoulder as they sat down. Madi went straight to the swings, and she knew her shirt would be covered in ice cream by the time they left.

“My mom isn’t doing well… She became addicted to pills a couple years ago, and overdosed… I found her. We have sent her to rehab, and recovery centers, but it just isn’t sticking. She cheated on my dad when she went away last time, with some other addict, and they have been in contact. My dad isn’t taking it well, and my mother is already on her way to some hippy retreat in Canada, because my dad wants to get her away from this guy she met.”

“Shit,” Lexa swore. “I’m so sorry.”

“I stayed with my parents after Madi was born because I knew I needed the help… I moved back in a month after my marriage to Finn when I found out he cheated on me with 3 other people in the short time we were married. And then I stayed because my dad needed me.. It’s just…”

Lexa pulled her in closer and pumped out her scent. “You don’t want Madi to see it because she is at an age she will remember it… Anya remembered pulling needles from my moms arms before the ambulance took her away for the last time…. I get it Clarke.”

Clarke cried into Lexa’s shoulder, because she wasn’t sure what to do. “My dad was supposed to watch Madi, while I went away to film, but he can’t. Not with my mom like this.. He sounded pretty broken, which.. Don’t tell anyone… It means that Jake Griffin will probably write a musical or a new record.”

“I poured myself into work. I get it. I barely stopped. One day I collapsed on set, and I had to start a routine, and set boundaries, in order to care for myself,” The Alpha confessed. “Bring Madi. I planned on inviting you to take the jet with Anya, and I.. I was assuming that Anya was going to bring Raven. But there is room for Madi. Do you have anyone you can trust to watch her while we film?”

No… She didn’t have anyone. Clarke shook her head and felt embarrassed at the answer. “Okay… You know Luna from wardrobe, right?” Lexa asked.

“Yes.”

Then Lexa laid out a plan for her without her asking her to, and Clarke felt herself falling in love. Not just with the woman's body, because she was hella fine, but with Lexa… The giant softy, she hadn’t realized existed, because she had never seen this side of her before.

“We can watch her when we aren’t filming. Raven can watch her when she isn’t needed… And Luna can watch Madi after getting everyone in their outfits. You know my brother. Lincoln… He already shot his scenes, but is coming down to spend a little vacation time with us. So I think between all of us, we can keep an eye on Madi. In the meantime you can stay with me.”

“Did you steal the truck from production?” Clarke joked, and Lexa laughed.

“Nah… I’m saving that for the third date… Speaking of… What are you doing valentines day? Maybe Raven can watch Madi and we can go out. Enjoy our second date?”

Clarke looked up at the most beautiful pair of green eyes, and smiled. “Are you sure you are willing to go slow?”

Lexa captured her lips and then pulled away. “You set the pace baby,” the Alpha gave her leg a squeeze before going to sit beside Madi on the swings.

Watching them together, had her not wanting to go slow at all. She wanted to pick up the damn pace, but realistically she wanted their first time together to be child free, and she needed someone to watch Madi. Valentine's day was a little too soon and very cliche… It wasn’t like she would be losing her virginity, but she wanted the night to be special. Memorable…

Clarke snapped a couple pictures of the two of them together, and watched as Lexa chased Madi around the playground and encouraged her to play with other kids. Her phone rang in her hands and she noticed it was her lawyers office calling her back.

“He signed,” her lawyer said, and she wanted to cry happy tears this time. “He agreed to a settlement, and… I shouldn’t be telling you this but he was placed on an involuntary hold at a psych ward. He showed up to work incoherent, and they called it in for safety reasons, and well… You don’t have to worry about him for the next month, and if you want I can use this to push the restraining order.”

“Restraining order?”

“Yeah the one the other lawyer sent over. This mental breakdown adds more credence to the original suit… He won’t be able to show up at your workplace. Not without prior notice.”

She could kiss Anya for what she did… Instead she walked over to Lexa, and kissed her. “I’m getting dinner tonight. What do you want?”

“Pasta,” Lexa smiled and then wrapped her arms around her from behind, and gently swayed them both from side to side. “You seem happier.”

“I am,” Clarke looked up and kissed her. “I really am. I will tell you all about it later. Just… Keep holding me for another moment,” Clarke requested.

The Alpha held her and only commented on the food order she was placing when she asked for her input… After the other day she realized that Lexa could eat a lot, and then she started to understand why. She worked out quite a bit. Not only at home, but on set. Some of the stunts she performed were difficult.

After ordering she gave Madi a warning instead of prying her away from the park. The Alpha had found a father secluded area. She had never been to this part of town before. The ice cream shop was old, as was the playground equipment, but it was quiet, and no parents were on their phones or taking pictures. They were simply doing that she was doing with Lexa… Watching their kids.

Chapter Text

Valentines day… A day she normally loathed. She had everything planned out for a perfect date with Costia, and then… The woman broke up with her… She had to cancel everything, and what was worse, was when she forgot to cancel something she planned and they called her. She had to explain. Well not divulge all the details, but it just opened the wound up again.

This valentine's day was different. She had called a place that had all the courses planned, and normally she didn’t name drop but she did. Because reservations needed to be booked in advance, and some people booked their table the year before.

They had to arrive early. Which wasn’t a big deal. Anya knew she was set to take out Clarke and kept pestering about it as it got closer to the date, and she just let out everything.

How Clarke was living at her house, how Madi was now coming with to Barbados, and how they were already dating. But they were taking it slow, and she had never taken it slow before, and she was just trying her best to keep herself together, in order to keep Clarke together.

“Holy shit,” Anya swore. “I owe Raven a movie… But just for the record.. I am sure she would want me to ask… would you say there are fireworks?”

“Fuck off,” Lexa shoved her sister, before leaving the studio to get ready for her date. Her sister had made a joke… Perhaps Raven was good for her.

It was weird getting ready in the same house. She would just have to walk up the stairs and knock on her door… They had been good at sleeping in separate bedrooms, but she was just doing her best. She was only human and her wolf liked keeping Clarke wrapped up in her arms. Keeping her safe.

Flowers were a must, and she didn’t remember the kind that Clarke liked by name, but by sight and got a bouquet of them. Next was the chocolate… She didn’t want to do anything super over the top romantic, but she did want to do somethings right.

Lexa put the flowers in a vase, and left the chocolate underneath of them. In a smaller vase she put flowers for Madi, and underneath she put her favorite chocolate bar. A kit kat. With everything perfect for her two favorite girls she went into her bathroom to take a shower, and do her hair before changing into the suit and tie she bought for the occasion.

She looked down at her cock which was ready to play, and decided to just jerk it out so she wouldn’t be a dick later. She could wait.. She could be patient. She would just be thinking of how Clarke would feel wrapped around her cock, until she could feel the real thing.

There was a knock on the door and Lexa stopped her movements. She groaned and turned away from the door and towards the wall. “What is it?” Lexa asked.

“What should I wear?”

Nothing… She should be wearing nothing and coming to join her in the shower this very minute. “Restaurant is pretty high scale. My suit is in the garment bag on the bed. You can take a look at my ties, they are in the closet.”

“Okay,” Clarke said and then the door opened a crack and she dropped the conditioner. “Enjoy your shower Alpha,” the Omega taunted and knew exactly what she had been trying to do.

Lexa stroked herself faster than she ever had before and was dissatisfied with the ending. She took an extra moment to dry herself off, before blow drying her hair. Then she quickly braided it before stepping into her bedroom, just as Clarke stepped out of the closest.

“I thought I might blow dry you later, but I guess you saved me the trouble,” Clarke teased before slipping a tie on her bedroom door and closing it behind her.

Ohhh. That minx. “I look forward to eating out!” Lexa shouted back at her.

Clarke could fucking smell her… Yet she couldn’t smell a thing. She had about 2 years to enjoy herself. Though she had never fucked an Omega during that time, she still got to enjoy the aroused scent of others, and it irked her that she couldn’t smell the Omega the way that she could smell her.

She hadn’t locked the bedroom door since Clarke had moved in, just in case she ever needed her, but now she locked it. The Omega had fucking come in to ruin her pleasure, and she teased her afterwards, and her cock was now hard as steel once more.

Taking things slow didn’t necessarily mean no sex. They could do other things… Perhaps some hand stuff, but she wanted to make Clarke scream her name.

Once she was finally able to suit up, she stood in front of the mirror and did up her tie. The movie was going to wrap up soon, and she had a couple offers that she needed to go through, but as soon as she got back she had to film for a minor role in a movie her grandfather had decided to direct. She would miss working with Clarke on set. No doubt the Omega would fix her tie at some point this evening, just like she adjusted all of their clothes when she was on set.

Her phone went off and she glanced down to see that the Limo had arrived. When she got out into the living room Raven was there with Madi, and Clarke was nowhere in sight. The driver would just have to wait so she messaged him to do just that.

“You don’t have much junk food,” Raven complained as she ate some plain popcorn.

Of course she didn’t. She didn’t get her body by eating chips, chocolate, and fast food for every meal, like the brunette seemed to do.

“Tell Anya to pick some up then… and no funny business on the furniture, Anya has her own room, so you both will make use of it,” Lexa growled.

Madi crawled over to her, and Lexa had to keep her chocolate covered face from staining her clothes. “You look nice Lexa,” Madi stated, but pouted a little when she kept her at bay, so Lexa made a game of using her to do a couple presses. She didn’t want the little sprite to throw up on her.

“I see you found your chocolate. Did you save any for later?” Lexa asked and Madi shook her head from side to side. “Maybe there will be another bar for you on the jet if you're good for Raven and Anya.”

“Hurray!!” Madi jumped out of her arms, and then ran a couple laps around the living room.

“What’s this?” Clarke asked, and Lexa looked up to see her at the top of the stairs and she was blown away.

Clarke looked so sexy in her red dress. It hugged her hips, and showed off her ample cleavage, and she noticed a slit running up her leg. Perfect for her hand to slip inside. Though they would have to wait until after dinner. Clarke’s lips were painted red as well, and her brows looked fuller, and she just looked breathtaking.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Madi going for Clarke and she beat the rug rat to the stairs and picked her up. “You have chocolate all over yourself Mads, and we can’t get chocolate all over our clothes, but… I promise when we get back, your mom will make sure Raven and Anya did a good job tucking you in.”

“Because you are going out on a date?” Madi asked.

“Yes Sweetie, and… Mommy worked really hard to pick out this dress. So… You can get it all dirty when I get back if you are still up,” Clarke said and Lexa looked at Raven and told her with her eyes that the kid better not be up when they got back.

Lexa opened up the front door and let the mother and daughter say their goodbyes, as she waved to the driver who got out to open the back door of the limo for them.

“Miss Woods,” the driver greeted her.

“Nice to see you again Dante,” Lexa shook his hand and waited for Clarke to get in before sliding in behind her, and then Dante shut the door.

“You look beautiful Clarke.”

“So do you stud,” Lexa leaned in to kiss her, and Clarke turned so that it touched her cheek. “Later, baby. I don’t want to ruin my makeup.”

Maybe a little inappropriate, but she grabbed Clarke’s hand and brought it to her cock. “You’re killing me baby.”

“I can tell,” Clarke winked and removed her hand and searched the Limo for drinks and pulled out a bottle of sparkling water and poured it into two glasses. “Here’s to the things we can do while we wait,” Clarke winked and when she clinked their glasses, she grabbed her cock again and then traced the outline of it with her finger tip. “I’m just as eager as you are, baby, but I… I don’t want this to be a one time thing.”

Lexa wanted to kiss her, but knew she couldn’t go for her lips so she went in for her ear, and then nibbled on the shell of it before gently speaking to her, as she brought her hand up the Omegas thigh, going higher and higher.

“You are too important for me to give up on. You are mine Omega. Next rut, I will take you over and over again and prove to you that your body belongs to me, and mine to you…” Lexa then pulled back and took a sip of her drink before adding nonchalantly as she removed her hand. “Coincidentally they line up,” she winked.

It was enjoyable to her to see Clarke’s expressions change. The Omega may be able to smell her, but she noticed the blush, and the groan. The way she tightened her legs, and how her hand smoothed out her dress. For the rest of the ride they decided to leave each other alone and Clarke slid further away from her, and Lexa bit her lip and shook her head. Waiting until tonight was going to be so hard, especially with the looks she shot her way.

When she got out of the limo she offered to help Clarke out, and then placed a hand on her lower back. She walked the Omega to the restaurant and opened up the door and followed her inside.

“Reservation under Woods,” Lexa stated to the hostess.

They were brought to a table beside a fireplace, which thankfully wasn’t on. There were candles though and Clarke called her out on choosing this place, because of them… Not just because of them but because of the food as well. It was incredible, and she had been craving steak.

Since the menu was already decided they only had a drink menu to look at, and she stuck with water. The restaurant was practically empty. A couple of the servers were making up the tables, and there was a lot of action going on in the kitchen in preparation for dinner.

“Compliments of the owner,” the server said, and Lexa raised her glass to the woman sitting at the bar.

Lexa took a polite sip, and then pushed it to the side. She had made them aware that no alcohol was to be delivered to the table, and she was pleased that they had listened. She had made a couple requests, and it gave her a good feeling knowing that they had likely followed through on them.

“It’s non alcoholic Clarke,” Lexa reassured her, and reached across the table to hold her hand. “Is this alright?” Lexa asked, and brushed her thumb over her wrist, and she noticed the Omega shiver. “I can give you my coat if you're cold,” Lexa offered, but she knew that Clarke wasn’t cold at all.

“Are you fine with us being seen in public together?” Clarke asked.

“Yes. I really want you to know how serious I am about us,” Lexa said as the first course was delivered.

“Slow is good Lexa. What happens if there is something we don’t like about each other.”

“I doubt there is anything I won’t like about you Clarke. I got past you breaking my nose.” Lexa smiled at Clarke and waited for the Omega to take the first bite of food before taking one herself.

Conversation soon started to flow about work. Clarke had a couple auditions she needed to get back for right after filming. She also needed to get back to LA as well, but the Omega would be busy with auditions and rehearsing, while she had at least 5 scripts to read through on the flight. Clarke was a little curious so she offered for the Omega to read some with her and help her pick the role.

That was how it would be in a relationship. The give and take… Costia only took, and Lexa was a giver, and it seemed like Clarke was as well. So she wanted her opinion. She wanted to know what role she thought was best.

During the third course, she spoke to the Omega about her insecurity. How she felt she was being typecast, and basically the 5 scripts were the same, it was just about deciding which one she wanted her face and name associated with at this point.

Clarke was super understanding. In her roles she was the bubbly blonde, and always expected to act or behave a certain way. And then she told her about certain roles she pulled out of because they wanted full nudity when her contract she signed said partial, and how a lot of roles wanted her to be exposed.

By the time they were finished their fourth course they had talked about the hypocrisy of male vs female nudity in the movie industry. All the expectations placed on both gender, and presentation. It may have been an inopportune time for the man she hired to sing to them came by their table because Clarke had just finished saying that she should try her hand at going full frontal.

“Oh gods,” the Omega said and covered her face with her hands, but her blush was all over her face.

The man playing the guitar recovered quickly, and Clarke held her hand above the table. It was beautiful. People were finally starting to arrive for their reservation and they just had a couple courses left. They would have to leave the nudity in film conversation for another time.

“People are taking pictures,” Clarke said.

“We expected as much,” Lexa frowned, but Clarke tightened her grip on her hand. “I promised the owner a picture of us out front of the restaurant. Not sure if they are going to tip off the paparazzi. I am sure Anya tried, but I didn’t tell her where we were going, and this isn’t really a celeb hot spot.”

“But you know the owner,” Clarke appraised, her and Lexa blushed this time. “Ohhh,” Clarke realized.

“Yeah… Ohhh. More of a Mrs. Robinson situation, but we are friendly.”

“Friendly enough to arrange this. The food is spectacular by the way.”

“So you aren’t…” Lexa trailed off.

“Jealous… Insecure… All of the above Lexa.”

“You have nothing to worry about. I live with you, work with you. I am working hard on my sobriety again, which impairs my ability to make decisions. So… Do not feel jealous, envious, or insecure, because I like you too much to ruin this or hurt you.”

“Sap.”

“Your sap,” Lexa smiled when the steak finally arrived.

Next the server brought over a glass of red wine for Clarke to enjoy with hers, and Lexa got a glass of non alc whiskey for hers. The Omega smiled, and then moaned around a forkful of the steak with red wine jus.

“I don’t think I can eat anymore,” Clarke complained.

Oh no… The next surprise was to happen during dessert…. It was super lame but… so was the candle that was slowly melting down to reveal another little surprise.

“If you don’t have room. I can ask Bernice to pack everything to go,” Lexa said worriedly.

Clarke rested a hand on her own, and gave it a squeeze. “You are clearly nervous Alpha… So take a couple deep breaths. If we can’t finish dessert we can’t finish dessert. But I have seen you eat, and I can guarantee if I don’t finish mine you will.”

“Good,” Lexa said and pushed her food around her plate for a little while letting it get cold because she was focused on watching the little package reveal itself, so Clarke would be able to pull it out.

When it revealed itself she quickly ate her last couple bites, but kept her fork, because she didn’t want to use her dessert fork.

A giant platter of desserts arrived in front of them, but there was some smoke from the dry ice that would be removed when she gave the server the nod.

“I’m not sure what to do first. Would you like to see your dessert first? Or what's inside the candle?” Lexa asked, handing her the fork.

Clarke grabbed the candle and brought it closer to her to inspect it before taking the fork. “Lexa,” Clarke said in that aww you shouldn’t have way, but she wanted to. The Omega pulled out the foil packet and then opened it up revealing the diamond necklace she had picked out.

“Oh my god, you put that in a candle,” Clarke freaked when she noticed it. The guy who did it for her had put the necklace in tinfoil and then wrapped it around the outside of the candle to keep it from being damaged or bent.

“Someone else did. Now… Ready for dessert?” Lexa asked.

The Omega lifted up the necklace and pulled her hair to the side. “Put it on me?” Clarke asked.

“Of course,” Lexa got up and bent over top of the Omega to watch it fall around her neck before sweeping her hair to the side. Once it was clipped she nodded to the server and the desserts were revealed and the server took away the smoking cup, and they were left with some amazing looking dessert.

Bernice chose that moment to come over, and introduce the desserts to them. “White chocolate torte, lavender creme brulee, chocolate mousse cake, pavlova with mixed berry compote, our famous creme brulee cheesecake because one can never have enough creme brulee, and of course a valentines staple chocolate covered strawberries.”

“Wow… These all look amazing,” Clarke exclaimed.

“Do you know Lexa specifically asked them to all be GF…” Bernice gave them both a knowing grin before stepping back a little from the table. “Enjoy dessert. I will meet you both at the front after you’re finished your meal.”

Clarke scrunched up her nose in confusion… “But I can have gluten. In fact I love gluten.”

“I thought it would be tackier to have them write the question out in chocolate… So… here it goes… A cheesy line, because as you said I am a sap…” Lexa scratched the back of her head nervously. “So will you be my GF?”

The Omega burst out laughing, and the nearby tables looked over at them. If they didn’t recognize them, they would certainly remember them now. “That was terrible,” Clarke started to cry because she was laughing so hard.

“Is that a no? I can go ask for these to be sent back then.” Lexa lifted her chin at her, and tried to forget her nervousness.

“It’s a yes… If only to save you more embarrassment from figuring out a different way to ask me.” Clarke laughed, and Lexa felt her own smile grow as large as her face.

Okay… Admittedly it was terrible, but she thought it would be memorable, and it was. Clarke took some chocolate mousse and fed her some of it, and Lexa took some of the cheesecake and gave her a bite, and she could see that Clarke had more than enough room in her stomach to finish that dessert.

The last course was full of laughter… And sugar… Lots and lots of sugar, but she had cheat days, and this was definitely one of them.

“I’m going to freshen up and make sure I don’t look like a mess, for our photo op.” Clarke stated and Lexa jumped up to help pull out her chair. “Thank you Alpha… Would it be alright if we take a picture just the two of us? I know Anya wants me to post a couple to my socials, but… I kinda want to post them for me, because I’m falling for you Lexa.”

“Of course baby. I will make sure the commander is ready for the photo op. Your Lexas Wood fans will be very appreciative.”

Clarke rolled her eyes. “As will the sex shops after all the lonely singles see it,” Clarke rolled her eyes.

The Omega walked away and Lexa sat back in her seat, and called over the server. She wanted to pay for the meal, and get a couple of the desserts to go. Madi loved chocolate just as much as she did, and it was better than getting a chocolate bar in her opinion. Clarke and her could share them on the jet.

Lexa kept checking her phone. It wasn’t yet dark out. It was nearing golden hour, and Anya had found out her little plan… Her sister just hadn’t figured out where she was. She would soon. Bernice would post photos… Clarke would post photos, and the internet would go crazy.

She got up as soon as she saw Clarke walk towards her. Lexa grabbed the box of desserts, and carried them with her out of the restaurant and handed them to Dante who was waiting for them outside. She had a couple more stops left for this valentine date.

Bernice stood between them both and got a couple pictures, and then Clarke had her take a couple on her phone. The Omega thanked the owner, and Lexa nodded to her before steering Clarke back inside the Limo.

“Can I kiss my girlfriend?” Lexa asked.

When Clarke nodded Lexa pulled her across her lap and held her gaze before moving in to capture her lips with her own. The Omega straddled her and Lexa heard her dress tear, and quickly turned her into the seat.

“We should have enough time,” Lexa smiled, sinking down onto the floor of the limo and spreading Clarkes legs.

She trailed her hands up and down the Omegas thighs as she left kiss after kiss. Slowly Clarke opened for her, and Lexa pulled her to the edge of the seat, pushed back her dress, and then gently removed her thong.

Clarke was dripping, and Lexa looked up and saw her hooded eyes. Slowly Clarke guided her head to her cunt, and Lexa ran her tongue through her folds before circling her clit. The Omega stuck out her hips, and Lexa ran her thumbs over them before doing it a couple more times before finally sucking her clit into her mouth.

“Ohhh,” Clarke moaned, and Lexa brought her right hand down to Clarke’s cunt, and slipped one of her fingers inside of her.

Lexa sucked her clit as she flicked it, and paid attention to any signs that Clarke was giving her. She kept going slowly working her finger in and out of her, once her body stopped tensing and adjusted to the size. She was tight. So tight.

“You taste better than dinner,” Lexa stated before pulling her finger out to taste her, and then sticking it back in, and stroking her front wall just so.

“Fuck. Keep going,” Clarke begged when Lexa flicked her tongue repeatedly over her clit. “More, please Lexa. Stretch me,” Clarke said breathlessly and she added another finger.

The Omega was gripping her fingers just right and grinding against them. Lexa reached her other hand up and gently squeezed her breast through the fabric.

“Lexa. Ohhh god. Lexa…” Clarke’s breathing slowly became erratic, and she focused more on her clit as she kept the same rhythm with her fingers letting the Omega move her hips to quicken the pace if she wanted.

“Omega,” Lexa rumbled, and pushed out her scent filling the limo with it, as she felt Clarke’s orgasm build up until she started to unravel.

“YESSSSS! Lexa, oh fuck, Alpha,” Clarke moaned and when Lexa looked up Clarke was biting her lip. She kept fucking her through holding eye contact until Clarke pulled her up by her hair. “That was amazing.”

Lexa kissed her again and again speaking in between each and every kiss before finally pulling away. “I - would - do - that - every - night - just - to - hear - you - say - my - name - like - that.”

She still had the blondes underwear in her pocket, and she got down on her knees to help Clarke put it back on. It was definitely easier to take off than put back on, that was for sure. Hopefully it wouldn’t be the only time she took them off tonight.

Chapter Text

Her mind was shattered into a thousand pieces after Lexa had gone down on her. It was amazing. Her fingers, her tongue, her scent pushing out at the end, so that all she could breathe and think about was her.

After her panties were back on she reached into her makeup bag and cleaned up Lexa’s face. Not that it was really dirty, but she had no intention of returning the favor yet. So she could at least pamper the Alpha, and kiss her soundly before grabbing onto her muscular arm and wrapping it around her.

“Which one do you like better?” Clarke asked Lexa, pulling out her phone to show her the photos that were taken of them.

Lexa tightened her hold on her and kissed the side of her head. “Up to you baby.” Lexa pumped out her scent, and surprisingly just held her. She was surprised the Alpha didn’t make a comment about the commander. Alphas… But hers was soft despite the rough exterior.

Once she decided on one they both looked good in, she had a hard time coming up with a caption… The hashtags were easy… #ThePriceIsRight #PotGReunion #IntotheWoods

Too many hashtags and people got judgy. So.. Best to keep it at 3 and those were the ones the studio would likely most appreciate.

-What a day to take a break from filming. Thank you @Bernice’s for squeezing us in. What a great experience. # # #

Clarke managed to take a few pictures of a couple courses, and added them in as well, but she kept the picture of her and Lexa in front of the restaurant as the main pic.

“Is this alright?” Clarke asked Lexa.

The Alpha reviewed the post and the pics, and kissed her cheek. “More experiences to come, but go ahead. Anya is rather upset, I lied up about what restaurant we were at,” Lexa pulled out her phone and showed her the text chain between herself and Anya.

Anya was bossier with her sister than she was with her employees. The older Alpha had messaged Lexa at least 20 times during dinner, and they weren’t the hey hows the day going kinda message.

“She is intense.. Sometimes I'm glad I am an only sibling.”

“Do you want Madi to be an only sibling?” Lexa tentatively asked.

Before she could respond the driver spoke to them. “We are at destination number 2 Miss Woods,” the man informed them, and Lexa extracted herself from her, and Clarke missed her warmth.

When she stepped out of the car, she noticed that they were at the studio. Lexa unlocked a door and guided her into the area for head execs, and then led her down into the basement. Someplace she had never been before, and Lexa punched in an access code. The vault… They were in the vault, she realized.

“I thought about setting us up somewhere, and having some kind of cheesy romantic background, but… I thought why not take my girl to the archives. More movies than netflix baby, the choice is yours,” Lexa looked so happy as she brought her around.

For a couple minutes she geeked out a bit, and then she realized how they were organized… Genre, and year they were made, and in alphabetical order. What a system. There were so many movies, and if they didn’t come from Into the Woods they were marked from the studio they were filmed at. The collection was immense.

Well… She didn’t need a romance movie, when Lexa was so thoroughly romancing her. Also she couldn’t pass up on a classic movie. So she read the synopsis of a couple until she found one that was about a car race, and she hoped that Lexa would like her choice.

The Alpha asked if she was sure, but she was. She wanted to watch the movie through Lexa’s eyes. She had remembered sitting beside her, during the premiere of her movie, and wanted this time to be different.

Lexa disappeared for a minute before returning and brought her through another door, and into a small theater. The chairs were classic, and not the comfiest, but it was special. Lexa let her take a seat, before getting the machine ready for popcorn.

Everything about the movie and the atmosphere was amazing. Lexa pumped out her Alpha scent, and filled the room with it, so that she couldn’t even smell the popcorn anymore.

No surprise to her, but Lexa brought over a bag of m+ms to have with the popcorn, and she had to admit it had grown on her. Lexa played the perfect gentleman during the movie, and as soon as she sat down her eyes were glued to the screen. Her Alpha loved watching movies.

The Alpha also enjoyed watching the end credits. During the movie she had squeezed her thigh, and then her cock when it hardened. Repeating the process when it got soft to start her torment all over again. A couple times Lexa squeezed her legs, and let out some baby growls and she stopped the torture for a couple minutes.

During the credits she got down on her knees. “Is this alright?” Clarke asked, lifting her brow because Lexa had asked her the same question earlier.

“Oh thank god,” Lexa exhaled and undid the buttons of her pants and she undid the zipper.

From what she had seen in Lexa’s drawers from borrowing a pair of comfies… The Alpha wore boxer briefs without the fly. Likely because she was worried the commander would escape.

Lexa wiggled out of her pants a little and she noticed how big she was and she hadn’t even pulled her cock out of its confines yet. “Should I take a pic for my other insta?” Clarke teased.

“Omega. I will flood your phone with pics if you don’t help me find release in the next few minutes.”

“That sounds like more of a reward than a threat,” Clarke looked up at her, and blew gently against the fabric, and watched as Lexa’s cock twitched.

“No tongue, no pics, and no cuddles?” Lexa had to ask her what was the threat, and Clarke rolled her eyes.

Slowly she pulled the elastic waistband of the underwear up and Lexa shimmied her hips a bit, and moaned as her hand wrapped around her length. She pulled it out, and gaped at the size. She used her other arm for comparison, and then looked up at Lexa’s smug face.

“Good thing we are taking it slow,” Lexa winked, and Clarke wanted to wipe that smug look off of her face, so she gently blew on Lexa’s cock. When Lexa’s face faltered she wrapped her lips around her angled head, and sucked.

Alpha cocks looked different from Beta male ones. Clarke had watched some porn with them, and had ordered a special dildo to help sate her through her heat, but none of them compared to Lexa’s.

She had to use her other hand as well, until she slowly worked Lexa into her throat. Her jaw would be so sore the next day. She hadn’t given head in years, and certainly not to someone she couldn’t swallow in one try.

Clarke moaned when she bobbed because Lexa tasted good. Salty and a little sweet at the same time, and she flicked her tongue through the divot and tasted the precum she was milking up with her hands.

“Clarke!” Lexa groaned.

The Alpha moaned as she sucked her back down. She gently reached under her shirt, and started to trace her abs. Her touch was fingerlight as she worked on tickling the Alpha, while keeping a firm hold on her cock with the other hand.

“Mmmm,” Clarke hummed as she moaned and took Lexa down her throat, and the Alpha squirmed in her seat.

“Gunna cum, gunna cum, gunna cum,” Lexa warned and her breathing and words became erratic, as she started to gently thrust into her mouth.

After just a couple minutes, the Alpha shot her cum down her throat, and Clarke swallowed every last drop and then tucked her back into her pants. She still sported a semi, and likely had another round or two left in her, but the chair was uncomfortable, and Raven had already called her once during the movie.

Lexa pulled her up for a kiss and then slid back into the seat and buckled up her pants. “I need a minute. Can you text Dante from my phone,” Lexa handed it to her, and took a couple deep breaths and shook her head.

Dante should have been one of the top messages on her phone, but Lexa’s phone had blown up. She had to scroll past all the unread messages to find Dante’s number, and then texted the driver that they were ready to be picked up.

Next she pulled out her own phone and noticed she had quite a few messages, but her instagram account had blown up. From experience, she had learned to not read comments. Some people were harsh, and she could get over critics, but didn’t want anything to ruin their day so she messaged Raven that they were still out and put her phone away.

The Alpha was over by the popcorn machine and Clarke was surprised to see her cleaning it out. “Titus would kill me, if I didn’t do this properly,” Lexa groused, and then Clarke watched her spend a good ten minutes cleaning out the machine before grabbing the garbage and gesturing for her to leave.

After Lexa did a couple more things they were outside the studio and the Alpha locked it before opening up the door to the limo… “Last stop,” Lexa promised.

Dante took them to a lookout, and the Alpha took out her phone and made a call, and she only caught a few words. The sunroof opened, and Lexa peeked her head out and gestured for her to join her.

Fireworks went off in the distance, and startled her, but they kept going. Lexa leaned down to kiss her, and Clarke shook her head. She was perfect. So fucking perfect.

To her surprise Lexa pulled out her phone first, and took a photo of them, and then Clarke took out her own and kissed the Alpha on the cheek as a heart erupted behind them… It was amazing.

“You are the best girlfriend in the history of girlfriends, Lexa Woods,” Clarke smiled into the next kiss and her phone was long forgotten as he made out with Lexa for a minute before pulling back to enjoy the rest of the fireworks.

Afterwards Dante drove them home, and Lexa showed her a picture she was about to send to her sister… Underneath the message it read… As I told you before… There were fireworks. I thought Raven would appreciate visual confirmation.

“This was the best valentines day I have ever had Woods. How do you plan to top it next year?”

“Why top perfection baby, when we could start a tradition?”

Clarke leaned into the Alpha and kissed her. Tonight wasn’t the night. There was still so much she needed to tell the Alpha. Costia had broken her heart, and Lexa had reluctantly opened up a bit about it, and she didn’t want to break hers. Clarke wanted to mend it. Stitch it together by hand, and give Lexa the love she deserves.

When they arrived back at Lexa’s the Alpha opened the door for her, and helped her out before reaching back in for the box from the restaurant. Lexa was so thoughtful. She was falling hard no parachute and wondered if she possibly felt the same way.

Raven and Anya jumped up from the couch when they opened the door. She felt more comfortable around Anya, but she had known Raven since landing her first real role at 17. Well a role where she didn’t play a child. They had struck up an instant friendship, and constantly built each other up.

“Lexa,” Anya called. “Can I speak to you for a minute… Outside,” Anya pointed out by the pool that was lit up and Lexa lifted her head up in the air and shook her head, but still followed her sister outside.

Her best friend rounded the couch and held her hands. “Did you tell her?” Raven asked.

“Now's not the time.”

“There really isn’t a right time for this Clarke… Anya figured it out.”

“For christ sake,” Clarke swore and looked behind Raven to where Anya was yelling at Lexa for something. Both Alphas scents could be smelled from where they were, and she pushed out her own hoping to combat theirs. “Is that what Anya is speaking to Lexa about?”

Raven changed her tone, dropping it. “No… but she knows everything.”

“Shit,” Clarke swore. “So what is she telling her?” Clarke asked but kept her eyes on them and then looked at her friend when they both looked inside. Anya moved Lexa around the corner and she could no longer see her, and her anxiety heightened, worrying that the biggest secret of her life would be spilt.

“Look… I trust your right… Anya is a little skeptical, but that is her sister, and Lexa was stable for a couple years before you and her worked together again. I know it's not you… Anya understands the whole pheromones thing, and I have your back, but this is only going to get harder, and you need to think of Lexa’s sobriety.”

Clarke took a few nervous breaths, and Raven wrapped her arms around her. “I can’t tell her until we are done shooting. Everyone’s job is on the line. This isn’t just about myself and Lexa… There is the rest of the cast, crew, and not to mention Madi.”

“You may not have that long… All the Woods will be there. Gustus, Lincoln, Titus. Every single member of their family presented Clarke. Which means there is a good chance they will figure everything out. Your scents are already mingling.”

“FUCK!” Clarke screamed and Lexa rounded the corner but she waved her off. “Maybe it’s not a bad thing. We have been living together, that is enough of an explanation.”

“Maybe… But let’s table this, until something happens. Just so you know I am prepared to make people go boom. You just point the finger, and bam,” Raven smacked her hands together.

Clarke rounded the corner and saw Raven and Anya had drinks out and she drank them both before placing them back on the table. She sat in the corner of the couch and Raven sat beside her, and told her about Madi’s night. Which was good. Not as amazing as her own, but still good.

She pulled out her phone and showed Raven the pictures she had taken that she didn’t post to social media, and then with Raven she opened up instagram and noticed she went from a couple million followers to 50 million in a night.

“Anya is quite happy about the press. But pissed it took so long…”

“I bet you helped her forget.”

“No… She is kinda pissed at me too right now.”

“Sorry.” Clarke said and meant it.

Lexa and Anya came inside together and Raven got up, and left with Anya. The other Alpha didn’t even give her a second glance before leaving the house, and perhaps that was for the best.

Her Alpha plopped down on the couch beside her and rested her head against her, and Clarke stroked the shaved part of her head, and then down her braids. “Everything alright?” Clarke asked and she pumped out her Omega scent, not caring that Lexa couldn’t smell it, but just hoping that she would feel it.

“Anya has some connections she needs to make things up to. An agency is sending a reporter to meet us on set in the Bahamas… And we have to do a virtual interview tomorrow, in flight. Anya pushed up the flight because well. Bernice’s was ambushed by our fans, and the police had to be called so that people with actual reservations could get in.” Lexa pulled up a news article sent to her by Anya, while they were driving back from the fireworks, and there were at least 10 officers holding a line.

“Must have been my dessert pics,” Clarke teased.

Lexa smiled and then kissed her before getting up and extending her hand to her. “We leave at 11 tomorrow. I asked Anya for adjoining rooms in the hotel for us. But… Do you want to spend the night in mine? Just to cuddle?”

“Just to cuddle Alpha,” Clarke agreed and then went upstairs to find an appropriate pair of PJs not too sexy, and not too mom, As she looked at her clothes she brushed her teeth, and flossed hoping her breath wouldn’t be bad in the morning. She ended up settling on one of Lexa’s shirts, and a pair of soft cotton lounge pants, before walking down the stairs and knocking on Lexa’s door.

The Alpha stood awkwardly at her bed. “I usually sleep on this side,” Lexa pointed to the side near the door where her apple watch was already charging along with her phone. “But I can sleep on the other side, if this side is your side.”

“I sleep in the middle so it doesn’t matter,” Clarke teased, and went over to the far side of the bed, and found a charger waiting for her. “Thanks Lex,” she smiled at the Alpha because she recognized the charger was the one from the living room, and she was very good at forgetting chargers.

She clung to Lexa in the middle of the night and the Alpha always had her arm around her. She slept on her chest, and then when she rolled over Lexa followed her, and buried her nose in her hair. They never parted for long, but she couldn’t sleep after 6, because Lexa left the bed.

Lexa wasn’t in the living room, and she smelt familiar pheromones wafting from the basement, letting her know that Lexa was enjoying a workout. The coffee was already made, but breakfast wasn’t so she looked up some protein recipes and found one she thought that Lexa would like before going ahead and making her breakfast.

Six turned to seven, and seven turned to eight. Madi woke up and walked down the stairs clutching her stuffy.

“Where’s Lexa?” Madi asked.

Always where is Lexa… Not good morning mommy. How was your night? I missed you mommy… Where’s Lexa…

“Working out.”

“I want to work out.” Madi decided and ran down the stairs in her pajamas…

Clarke scrolled through her messages, and ignored most of them. Every single one that asked if the photos were real, if they were dating, just any personal question she ignored. She got a text from a director asking her to screen test for a part in a TV show, and she replied to that one, because the show was well established.

Her father also messaged her. She trusted him, and wanted to see him before they left, but there wasn’t time. So she called him instead and told him all about her night as she flipped protein pancakes, and thought of a back up breakfast for Madi if she didn’t like them. Her father was so kind and patient as she gushed, but he was understandably concerned. But she reassured him that positivity was better than nervous energy right now, and he dropped the subject.

“What’s this?” Lexa asked as she came up the stairs carrying Madi, as she made whooshing sounds until depositing her on the high top chair.

“My way of saying thank you for last night. Protein pancakes. I’m not sure if they are any good. Your shake is already in the fridge. Do you mind getting the syrup?” Clarke asked as she finished flipping the pancake.

Bacon sizzled in the pan and Lexa tried to grab a piece but she grabbed her hand, because she didn’t want her daughter to think slapping was okay. “Wait. I will serve you some. If you take one you will take another, and none will be left for our daughter,” Clarke said and realized she made a large slip up.

“Our daughter,” Lexa tried it out, and furrowed her brow before she said it again. “Our daughter. I like the sound of that,” Lexa smiled and ruffled Madi’s hair.

The Alpha brought over Madi some juice, but her daughter wanted some of Lexa’s shake, and the Alpha poured her some, and then took out the syrup, ketchup, and butter from the fridge before taking her seat beside Madi.

“Looks good Clarke,” Lexa smiled when a plate was set in front of her.

Clarke had a funny feeling that if she didn’t set both plates down at the same time, Madi or Lexa would be stealing from one another's plate. She made herself a plate and then sat on the other side of Madi. Her daughter ate the bacon first and reached for more. She wasn’t really a fan of the pancake, but because Lexa was eating it, she was eating it.

She glanced at the time, and showed Lexa her watch, and the Alpha ate faster, and then helped her put dishes away as they sent Madi up to get dressed. She left to go to her room and grabbed her bag, opening it up on the bed to make sure that she had everything. Then she quickly got dressed, and brushed her teeth before taking a final look at her makeup free appearance.

On the tarmac Lexa opened the door to the limo for them. The driver carried their suitcases into the jet, but Lexa carried both her, and Madi’s carry-on plus her own, and then set it down. Madi wanted to explore so Lexa took her around and she was surprised that there was a stewardess when there was just supposed to be only a couple of them on board.

When Anya entered, she brought out her laptop and set up a call. There was a timer counting down and the Alpha called for both her and Lexa. “5 mins I approved the questions,” Anya explained but there was something in her voice that told her that something was about to come up, and it seemed that Lexa sensed it as well. “

The interview started with a couple easy questions. What the movie was about. How it was like working with each other after so many years… Then the question came up. “So both of you play an Alpha and Omega on the screen, but you actually both have the designation in real life. Do you feel compatible in real life?”

Lexa glanced at her, and then back at the screen. “I have no sense of smell. Clarke’s scent doesn’t affect me, but I think she is a brilliant actress, and a beautiful human being. I am lucky to be working beside her again, and hope this isn’t our last project together.”

“Clarke?” The interviewer asked.

“I can smell Lexa, and her scent is quite pleasant for an Alpha, and she doesn’t posture, or pressure. I am super comfortable working with her on set, and seeing her outside of work.” Clarke answered, and felt Lexa give her leg a squeeze under the table.

The interviewer seemed to take that as an opening, and she could see Anya’s smirk as she looked up.

“Speaking of seeing each other outside of work. Last night the two of you had dinner together, on what some would call the most romantic night of the year. Is there truth to these dating rumors?”

Her Alpha cleared her throat, and then took a sip of water. “I think we have chemistry on and off screen, but our personal lives are private, and I will not comment further.” Clarke said firmly.

“What she said,” Lexa smiled at the interviewer.

“I think that’s all. Thank you for your time,” the interviewer was quite polite, and then the call ended and Clarke felt like she could breathe.

The plane started to taxi and she double checked that Madi was buckled in, before looking over at Anya. They had an intense stare off, but the Alpha looked away when Raven got her attention. When she glanced over at Lexa, the Alpha looked between her and her sister, and Clarke knew she knew something was up. She could only hope that filming went quickly.

Chapter Text

Sometimes she hated her sister. Anya could be so controlling and demanding. Worse than her grandfather at times, and it irked her. Very few times in her life did she have a taste of freedom, and valentine's day was one of those few times, and was amazing. Fighting with her sister wouldn’t take away from that. She wouldn’t let it.

There was something up with Clarke and Anya, and when she approached Raven about it when they landed the woman flat out denied anything was wrong, but she knew it was. They had had this intense stare off, and they both weren’t speaking to one another.

Her sister also glared at Clarke when she handed her another script to read once she was done reading it. The look Anya gave her when she handed Clarke a pen that she asked for, had her wondering what the hell was wrong. The only one oblivious to everything was Madi, who was happy to be on her ipad.

At the hotel they had to wait for check in. Madi changed into her bikini, and Clarke decided to do the same, and that was when she asked Raven what was up. Then she was left alone sitting at the bar because her sister was busy on the phone organizing a ride for them to check out where she wanted the next scene to be filmed.

Once they had checked in Clarke knocked on the door to the adjoining room and she decided to leave it open, and Clarke didn’t seem to mind. She only had to make sure to change in the washroom, which wasn’t a big deal. It was more important for her to be there for Madi and Clarke.

Anya knocked on the door to her room, and she opened the door, and Anya stepped inside before closing the adjoining door to Clarke’s room. “What is up with you two?”

“Nothing,” Anya said and she could see that her sister was lying, but when Anya wanted to, she could not say anything. But this wasn’t something she would let go of. She wanted to be with Clarke. She liked when Clarke called Madi there’s because it meant a future with her, and she wanted that more, than she wanted to star in another big budget film.

“Whatever. You will tell me soon enough,” Lexa snarled. “What do you want?”

Her sister pointed to the door, and she had never heard her, or seen her with such venom in her voice. “She,” Anya shouted. “Should be the one to tell you.”

Lexa didn’t want to hear back and forth arguments. Anya could get pissed off at any little thing, and it was likely something small. “Maybe she will, but doesn’t want to ruin our relationship while we still have scenes to film.”

“We are filming the end scene tomorrow, before the rest of the crew arrives. Should be easy for you two since you have… What’s the word chemistry… Afterwards I want to film Clarke running on the beach with you chasing her. Raven is speaking to a pilot, and the next day we will film the two of you jumping out of the helicopter. Just make sure to hit your mark. I don’t want to schedule another day.” Anya went into director mode, and then left her room.

She knocked on the door and Madi opened it. Clarke was in bed reading one of the scripts that she handed her on the place. The Omega looked like she had heard the conversation and told Madi she could go back on her ipad, but needed to use headphones.

“We should talk. I want to talk to you. But after filming.” Clarke said nervously.

Lexa slowly crawled on the bed, and then looked up at her. The Omega wore glasses, and was sitting up. Clarke looked super pretty with the sunlight making her hair look even more golden.

“It isn’t anything bad is it?”

Clarke tilted her head from side to side and she felt nervous. The Omega then rested a hand on hers. “No… Not the way I see it, and I hope that you feel the same. But let’s just get through filming. We are scheduled to be here for 2 weeks. Hopefully afterwards we can have a couple days to talk, before flying back.”

“I hope we get to spend a few days here. No one knows us. I already promised Madi we can spend a day making sand castles. I trust you Clarke. Whatever it is… It can wait.”

They went over their lines after that. Lexa then explained to her the stunt she would have to perform the next day. Harper wasn’t down yet, but it seemed like Clarke wasn’t going to say no to running and doing an actual scene.

In the morning she was up with her alarm, and she heard Madi groan. To her surprise the girl walked into her room, and asked where the gym was. It was nice having a training partner. Even if they couldn’t help her out if she actually needed it.

Madi would ask her questions about working out, and she would answer. Sometimes she would ask her about the movie, and she told her about the stunt she had to do coming up. The kid wanted to watch, so she would, because there was no one else there to mind her, and Raven would be watching as well.

Not shocking to her, Anya watched Madi during the upcoming scene. Chemistry indeed. They did the take a few times. A couple with Clarke on top of her, and then a few with her on top of Clarke. Some lines felt better than others, but she was grateful that there was just her, Clarke, and two cameramen. They were smart enough to give them some time, as she was having a problem with her genital guard.

“I also need a minute. Probably an hour, and a very cold shower,” Clarke said. “But… I will leave you and the commander alone. See you inside,” Clarke smiled at her, and walked down the beach.

It was beautiful. She was beautiful. They had been making out for about an hour, and she was ready for something more. A couple people walked past the beach, and looked over to her, because they hadn’t been able to walk down it while they were filming. She waved awkwardly and thought of things that grossed her out, until she felt like she could remove the guard.

Thankfully there was still some privacy, but she knew Anya let those people through. Whatever was going on with her and Clarke was serious. She had her and Clarke reshoot the run on the beach, until even she was out of breath.

“Bellamy lands tonight. We will shoot the chase to the beach and get the explosions. Then you and Clarke on the boat, speeding off.” Anya explained to them at the end of the day what they would be doing the following day.

Clarke was up with her the following morning. Anya didn’t wake her to say that things had changed but they had… Harper was now jumping out of the plane. Raven was already with someone rigging up lines, and she could be clinging to Clarke.

Anya had them in many different positions. She wasn’t sure which one was funnier, but Clarke was laughing, she was laughing, and the lines… It wasn’t serious. It was just gold… But also…

“No you take the parachute,” She pushed it back at Clarke.

“Fine!” Clarke agreed, and then stuck out her arms, and looked at her expectantly to help her put it on. She did so, and then kicked Clarke out of the plane. Then she jumped out herself after grabbing the box, and tucking it into her pants.

Next she held onto Clarke a final time. “Why did you give me the parachute?” Clarke asked when she pretended to touch down on the ground.

“Because I love you,” Lexa said the first thing that came to mind, and pulled Clarke in for a kiss by her face, and Clarke pushed her away.

“I love you too!” The blonde pushed her again, and started to cry, and then they were kissing and she didn’t hear her sister call cut, until she was being pulled back by Bellamy.

Lexa snarled at him, and then realized what she had done…

“I think we got it,” Anya smiled, and Bellamy looked ready to start a fight with her, so she decided to go grab something to eat to try to cool down, because that scene was intense.

Next Anya filmed both her and Clarke inside the mansions and she had to break her bonds… Bellamy’s character had come to her aide after they had jumped from the plane. Her character had gone to him after landing the chopper, but this was the time he turned… Because she had trusted him with where to find the treasure. Well, sort of.

They filmed until they couldn’t anymore, but Anya finally got the scene. To her surprise the person that was labeled the client was a woman. The client would die in the explosion… Or would she, that was a possible twist that could be written into the next movie. But they finished filming the escape, and it was good.

Bellamy was on set the next day, and his character was hell bent on hurting her character. She wasn’t really good with emotional scenes but her anger was stewing from the previous day where he broke them up, and she leaned into it.

When Bellamy pulled the trigger she jumped in front of Clarke, The gun now out of bullets, Lexa used a throwing knife, and it went wide, but Monty would change it to hit dead center. Bellamy grew shocked for a moment, and then fell to his knees before allowing his body to slump.

Anya didn’t like it, so they took a break for lunch. Only a couple more scenes needed to be filmed. The cave scene and a scene where they drive through the streets on the way to the mansion. Then they set up outside of the mansion, and Anya wanted to let Raven run the explosives again so they would be shooting that scene… again.

“Lexa!” Clarke screamed, but the pain didn’t register. This time when they filmed, it wasn’t a blank that was used. “I hate fucking guns,” Clarke was pissed, as she took off her shirt and quickly applied pressure to her wound.

An ambulance was called, and Clarke was ready to go with her, but Anya pulled her back. Raven was holding Madi who didn’t understand what was happening. “I’m okay,” Lexa called out to Madi, but also to Clarke.

Well kinda okay. She had just been shot. Her sister stayed with her, and then Raven took over, and sat by her bedside, until she was released.

When she got back to the hotel Raven walked her to her room, and Lexa noticed that the light was still on in Clarke’s room so she walked over to turn it off, but noticed the blonde was up waiting for her.

“The other day. The scene where we landed after parachuting out of the plane… It wasn’t a lie. I love you, and I hate seeing you injured,” Clarke cried and Lexa stepped up to her and used the hand that wasn’t strapped in place to wipe away her tears.

“I love you too…” Lexa pulled her up. “Let’s get some sleep. Do you mind holding onto these for me?” Lexa asked, handing Clarke the bottle of pain meds she was given.

“Okay,” Clarke said and she could tell the Omega was a little nervous, but she understood. Lexa trusted herself, but also, she didn’t want or need to be tempted. It also gave her an excuse to visit Clarke every 4 hours.

Finding a sleeping position was hard. Clarke didn’t want to let her sleep in her room, and Lexa didn’t want to either. So the blonde set up a little wall of pillows against her chest, and only touched her below the knee and above the shoulder. Eventually she did fall asleep and when she woke up there was a pill beside the bed and a bottle of water.

“Mom said to have it,” Madi pointed to the pill.

She wasn’t going to be on set today. Anya was likely scrambling to get her a stunt double, to go on a scenic drive with Clarke through the city, and towards the mansion. Also likely was going to use the stunt double for the explosion scenes as well. If she was lucky she may get to place the small box which was actually a key into a hole that was carved out. Then Monty would work his CGI magic.

Lexa popped the pill, and helped herself to some of the fruit that was left out on the table of Clarke’s room. Another day with Madi. Getting shot seemed to have its perks. She went over to her room and changed into her bathing suit before telling Madi to get ready for the beach.

A couple members of the cast were off today and a couple approached her, but she waved them all off. There was one though that didn’t get the hint, and that was the woman playing the client. She laid down beside her, asked her to get her back, and Lexa didn’t grab the offered lotion.

“No,” she said firmly and pumped out her scent letting her know she wasn’t interested. That only seemed to make her try harder. The woman laid down on the front and undid the straps to her bikini. Both top… And bottom.

She got off the chair and approached Madi and convinced her to help her look for shells. It got her away from the woman, and she wanted to move around a bit. Having Madi’s excitement and enthusiasm was all the medicine she needed she found.

“There you are,” her grandfather Titus was waiting for her under a cabana by where she had left some of her and Madi’s things. “I heard what happened on set. I am glad to see you well.”

“As well as can be expected.”

Titus looked her up and down. “No more stunts. Not in my movie, and not for the next 6 months. How much longer until you can film again? Your father and I wish to see this chemistry between you and Miss Griffin ourselves, though your sister seems certain there will be a sequel.”

“I think there is a possibility as well, but it all depends on how people react to what we present. Speaking of. Grandfather, I would like you to meet Madi Griffin,” Lexa gently pushed the little girl forward, leaving out if Madi was Clarke’s sister, or daughter. “Madi, meet my grandfather.”

Titus nodded his head at her, and Madi did the same thing back which got a laugh out of her grandfather. He wasn’t big on touching. Most people still tried to stick out their hands for him to shake, but it seemed like Madi got lucky in copying him, and her grandfather actually enjoyed it.

“Gustus is having a table prepared for us. Are you hungry Madi?” Titus asked.

“I could eat,” Madi agreed.

Her father had got them a table, and clearly paid for no one else to eat in all the tables surrounding their own. He got up when he saw her and wrapped an arm around her good side, and then he was introduced to Madi, and they hit it off. Her father now had a collection of shells in his pocket, because he couldn’t leave them on the table or he might forget them. Madi and him were adorable together, and it felt good.

Titus had this look on his face though. The same one Anya had on earlier in the week. What the hell was up with her family… Just a couple more days and maybe she would find out. She hated the suspense. It wasn’t killing her, but annoying her more than anything.

The elder Woods left her and Madi at the table after finishing their meal. They wanted to see the rest of the filming, but had the decency to check on her first. Madi wanted to head up to the room, and she went with her. Her shoulder had started to hurt, and she wanted to message Clarke but she put it off and decided to wait.

By the time the Griffin Omega arrived in her room Lexa couldn’t even turn to look at her without feeling pain. “Meds,” she requested and Clarke swore. She looked back up at the ceiling so she wouldn’t see where Clarke had put them, and then chewed them, swallowing them dry before Clarke could bring over a glass of water.

“Your father and grandfather want everyone to have dinner tomorrow night. Anya doesn’t need you on set. She wants to green screen everything else back in LA. Your stunt double will walk into the cave, and then place the key in the lock, the end.”

Lexa rolled onto her side already feeling the medication doing its job. “Will you tell me what’s going on?” Lexa asked.

Clarke shook her head, and then kissed her on the lips and she felt her tears fall on her face. “Not yet. I love you Lexa,” Clarke said before getting up to shower.

She decided it was best to head into her room. Which ended up being the right decision because her father came looking for her. He furrowed his brow at the open door, and she quickly shut it before sitting back down on her bed. Her father apparently just wanted to hang out. So she let him and they watched sports highlights and ordered room service.

The one thing she hated about being on location, was the lack of home cooked meals. Not that eating out wasn’t interesting, and there wasn’t good food to be eaten, but there was a certain comfort in a home cooked meal, and right now she missed that.

Gustus finally broke his silence, and she felt like everyone around her was out to get her, or just mess with her in some way. “The kid looks like you. From a distance… I thought I was looking at you searching for crabs at our place in Maine. Did you and Clarke ever…”

“We haven’t done that yet.”

“Okay,” her father said, and she watched him grind his teeth as he sat silent, and changed the channel. “Do you need your pills?”

“Clarke has them.”

“Things are moving fast with her Lexa. I like Clarke… I really do. The situation you are in its more than just the two of you. Madi seems like a resilient kid, but for her sake. Whatever you two decide going forward has to be in her best interests.”

God why couldn’t she be hanging out with Lincoln… As soon as he arrived he had seen Octavia, and hadn’t left her side. Octavia was playing the bartender they visit before their final scene completing a majority of cameos from Princess on the Ground. Bellamy was the only one with a main role, and she hadn’t exactly been treating him nicely, and she knew he had tried to apologize to her, but she should apologize to him for the other day.

“I’m tired,” Lexa lied, and her father took the hint and left her room. When he did she opened up the door to Clarke’s that divided their space, and caught her changing.

Clarke noticed her staring and she opened the door wider, and the Omega gestured to her bed, and she accepted the invitation. She didn’t want to sleep alone. It was hard to do ever since they had spent Valentine's Day evening in the same bed together.

The next morning the Omega was gone, and Madi pointed to the pills at the side of the bed. “One now, and one in a couple hours from now. If needed,” the child said to her and it sounded rehearsed.

Lexa got Madi ready, and then picked out her own outfit before heading down to set. Anya had texted her. The interviewer was there. Her sister wanted her to just shoot them ordering drinks from Octavia, and then she would be free, until the beach scene.

“Shirt off,” Luna ordered. “Anya wants that bullet wound to look real. Medics are on standby to change the bandage,” Luna explained to her, and Lexa groaned, as she tried to take off her shirt alone.

Luna had to help her. Her shoulder hurt a lot, and it was hard to take off the sling one handed. Clarke came into the wardrobe area, and she could have sworn she heard a small growl coming from her as Luna gently pulled her shirt off. The Omega covered it up with some throat clearing, but it was too obvious.

“Clarke, your outfit is over there,” Luna pointed to the same one she had slowly taken off the Omega the other day under the cabana. “I can watch Madi, while you two do your scene, and the interview.”

“Thanks Lu,” Lexa smiled at the woman, and she noticed Clarke dip into the changing room.

Lexa waited for Clarke to change. She needed help, and she wasn’t about to ask Luna for assistance. Not when she heard Clarke’s tiny growl earlier. “Clarke,” Lexa knocked on the door to the changeroom.

It opened and Clarke was wearing just a bikini. “Could you help me with my shorts?” Lexa asked and looked down.

“You dressed yourself just fine this morning,” the Omega grumbled but pulled her into the tiny changeroom, and pulled down her pants, and kneeled at cock height.

“This morning it took me a long time, and… I’m wearing the same boxers as last night, and I did ask Madi for help. I even cut the shirt sleeve, and had to sit on the bed as Madi dragged it across my shoulder. So I wasn’t exactly unassisted…. Also… Jealous much? If I knew how much you wanted to dress me, Omega, I would have had you put on all my clothes before every scene.”

Clarke grumbled, about being dirty, and pulled down her boxers as well, and then pulled up her bathing shorts… Lexa had no choice but to go commando. “These shorts are a little hard to put on Lexa. You may even need help taking them off,” Clarke bit her lip, and then trailed her fingers across her length before kissing her, and then leaving the room.

Yup… They were tight… and short. But such was the style. No long trunks like she had used growing up. At least she kept them at a certain length. Just in case she got aroused, the commander wouldn’t peak out of her shorts. Lexas Wood fans would likely snatch a couple images of this outfit for the page.

As soon as she stepped behind Clarke and put a hand on her Anya called it. “And… Action.”

Lexa led Clarke up to the bar, and ignored every single person on set other than those she had to perform a scene with. They ordered their drinks. Drank to never going on a game show again, and then they walked to the cabana, and set their drinks down before laying down.

Her wound was healing nicely. A perk of having presented. Those that presented were said to be closer to their wolves, than their Beta counterpants, and Lexa felt like that was true in her experience. She had all the heightened senses aside from a sense of smell.

Clarke gingerly reached out to touch the wound, but she held her hand back. “Again!” Anya called.

They did the scene again and again. Each time afterwards they changed up what they were not going to do, or do… This would clearly be part of the movie's gag reel.

“To our next adventure,” Lexa smiled and clinked Clarke’s glass before taking a sip of the sweet punch.

“Cheers to not being shot at again.”

“I’ll drink to that,” Lexa laughed, and Anya called cut.

They had a moment to speak, but Octavia cut in, and Clarke and her seemed to have bonded a lot since the TV show. Lexa sat there listening to them, and then felt a presence behind her. She turned around to see older Blake. Who pointed at her wound and shook his head. “I’m so sorry Lexa. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Not your fault. It’s props. And… I’m not dead, so just another battle scar.”

“I heard chics dig scars. So… Have a new piece Woods?” Bellamy asked oblivious to what she had going on with the Omega.

Lexa snarled before Clarke could. “None of your business Blake.”

“What’s going on?” Lincoln asked.

“Nothing,” Lexa said and pulled over the rum punch and poured herself another glass. A medic made himself known and Lexa spun in her chair so that he could do up her shoulder. Her sling from earlier was brought over, and he helped her slip into it, and she was thankful that the medic was a male.

Anya arrived with the reporter, and a cameraman. She got into a picture with all the cast of Princess on the Ground with them. Her sister put her arm around her, and Lincoln put his other arm around her. The interviewer had them all go in different positions. Siblings beside siblings, and then her beside Clarke. Then her father and grandfather were called into the picture, and non relatives were asked to leave.

“Stay, Miss Griffin,” Titus ordered, and she felt the power emulating from her grandfather. “Why don’t you stand beside Lexa.”

Clarke shrugged, and pretended not to care or be bothered by it, and Lexa opened up her arm for the Omega, and she felt her hand on her back. Clarke gently moved it up and down, and then traced a couple patterns with her fingers as the woman got the shots she wanted.

“Clarke, and Lexa. I want to interview you first,” the woman said.

Most of the interview questions were about the film. Thankfully few were about them, and the few that were, were actually related to the movie, and she felt more put at ease, and she could tell that Clarke was as well.

“Miss Griffin. What was your first thought when you realized that Miss Woods had actually been shot.”

“I hope that they got the take,” Clarke joked, and the interviewer laughed along with her, and Lexa smiled. “No.. My main concern was with my co-star. From a young age my father told me that family was more important than any movie, any song, and job. Lexa Woods is family, and if the movie was scraped today. I would still be more concerned about her health than anything else.”

“Wow. quite a statement,” the woman said and then turned to her. “Lexa. I know in the scene you jumped in front of Clarke’s character. You literally took a bullet for her. Would you do it again?”

She was a little blown away by Clarke’s words, but they felt right. “Over and over again, until my body was riddled with bullet holes. Thanks for the interview. But… I need to rest,” Lexa said, deciding to end it there, and the interviewer thankfully didn’t seem to mind.

The Omega hopped off her stool and took another sip of the drink they had been enjoying, before looking up at her with wide eyes. “Lexa, can you escort me back to the hotel? I forgot something,” Clarke said and she could see that she was lying, but she went along with it and gestured for her to go ahead.

Lexa followed the Omega through the workers, and then into Luna’s little costume area. Clarke wiped down her pants with no preamble, and then pulled up her boxers. She had such pretty hair. Lexa reached out to touch it, and stroke it, as she started to feel dizzy.

“How many of those drinks did you have? I know I had at least 3. It’s pretty hot out.”

At least 5, and then she stopped counting because it was hot, and she was thirsty. The staff kept making them, and they were cold. Deliciously sweet, and they kept adding fruit to the rim, and those cute little umbrellas.

“Ummm at least 5 but probably closer to 8. Like you said it was hot,” Lexa said, putting emphasis on the t. Clarke stood up as she pulled on the shorts she had decided to wear earlier. The Omega grumbled as she took off her sling, put on her shirt, and then put back on the sling, but she buttoned up her shirt. Something she hadn’t been able to do earlier in the morning. “Not as hot as you,” Lexa put a hand on her hip and kissed Clarke, capturing her lip and lightly nibbling on it.

She moaned when Clarke did and pulled her closer to her. The Omega groaned and pulled back, and Lexa whined. Whined like a pup, and didn’t want the Omega to leave her space, but she did, and Clarke chased her out of the changeroom.

“Luna. I promise to return this later,” Clarke told the woman, and Lexa followed her out of wardrobe and onto the beach.

Madi was playing with Raven, and Lexa noticed them and jogged over to see what they were building. Clarke had to catch up to them, and Lexa was already on her knees in the sand.

“Raven, watch Madi for a bit longer please,” Clarke ordered, and then pulled on her shirt. “Up.”

Lexa wanted to grumble, but she noticed that Clarke was serious and followed her into the hotel and then back up into her room. “Ugh… You're a mess,” Clarke said and pushed Lexa into the washroom. “Look at all this sand.”

Clarke helped her get out of her clothing. She stood naked in front of the Omega, and Clarke didn’t look interested in her, which was strange. The Omega started the shower, and then got out of the shorts she was wearing, and into the water before pulling her in after her.

She tried to pin the Omega against the wall, but she could tell that Clarke wasn’t into it for some reason. “What’s wrong?” Lexa asked concerned she had done something, but unsure, of what it was she had done.

“Lexa. I am a little buzzed right now, and I am not on any medication. You drank at least double the amount I did, and I didn’t realize there was alcohol in the drink until near the end of the interview.”

“No… no.. no no no no,” Lexa slammed her fist against the wall and a tile broke loose and blood started to pool down the drain.

Clarke grabbed both sides of her face. “Listen to me,” she demanded and Lexa looked at her. “This is not your fault. I love you. But breaking tiles isn’t the answer. I am going to speak to Anya, and then I will come right back up and spend the day cuddled with you in bed.”

Screaming and breaking tiles wasn’t going to do her any good. It wouldn’t do them any good. She pulled Clarke closer, and rested her head on her shoulder, and let the tears fall, as Clarke ran her hands up and down her back. “It’s okay. I got you baby.” Clarke promised, and Lexa felt a little better.

The Omega brought her into her room, and Lexa felt a thickness in the air that blanketed her. She pulled the sheets over her head, and felt the bed dip behind her when Clarke returned to the room. She delayed taking her pill as long as possible, but dinner was rolling around and the two of them were expected to be there.

Soft hands pulled her out of her train of thought and she kissed the Omega. Clarke kissed her back, and Lexa didn’t want to leave. She threw the sheet over their heads, and made out with Clarke until she couldn’t stand the pain in her shoulder any longer.

Afterwards, the Omega helped her to dress. Soft linen pants. Fresh underwear, and Clarke picked out her shirt, to match the color of her dress. How did she get so lucky? Lexa wondered as she watched Clarke put the finishing touches on her makeup in the washroom mirror. Beautiful, smart, patient, and kind. The last part mattered the most to her, and was helping her out more than the Omega realized.

Chapter Text

Clarke never imagined her life would be this crazy on her journey of getting back to Lexa. When Raven had told her Anya was looking for an actual Omega for the movie, her friend helped her pull quite a few strings and she landed the role.

Everything was supposed to be simple. Meet Lexa again. Tell her how she felt. But that last part was supposed to happen at the end of filming. Not in the damn middle.

Also what the hell was going on with the set. First Lexa gets shot, then the punch actually has alcohol in it. Anya may be mad at her, but she was pissed at the Alpha and let her know it.

Eventually she had to get ready for dinner, but she needed to get Lexa ready first, and see if she was even up for it. She didn’t want to go alone, but she also didn’t want to leave Lexa alone. Checking the time she asked Lexa where she had put the other pill and found it in her shirt pocket, and gave it to her with some water before finishing her makeup.

She had never thought she would be one of those people. The ones that liked to match outfits with their significant other, but she soon found out she secretly loved it. Her dress was as floral as Lexa’s shirt, and she slipped into her birkenstocks and pulled out a pair from her suitcase that she had bought for the Alpha just because.

“Love you baby,” Lexa slipped into them and kissed her.

Oh they had done so much kissing, she was sure she needed to shower, but they were already running late, because she wanted to give Lexa as much time as possible to rest.

Lexa held her hand in the elevator and when the door closed she turned and pressed her against the back wall for a quick kiss as she ran her good hand down her body, and Clarke wanted to drag her back up to the room.

“This way. Miss Griffin. Miss Woods,” the hostess brought them down to the beach where tables had been set out.

Thankfully they were seated together, but that wasn’t the issue. The issue was who they were sharing the table with. Anya, Raven, Octavia, and Lincoln shared a table. Bellamy, Harper, and the other stunt doubles shared a table, and it seemed that they were all seated at tables of four. Herself and Lexa… They had to share with Gustus and Titus, and it seemed like Lexa was having the same reservations she was, if her scent was any indication.

Her Alpha pulled out her chair for her with her good hand, and then seated herself. Titus got up and clinked his glass together. “Now that we are all here,” the man said and Clarke could smell his annoyance, at their late entry.

“Thank you to the cast and crew. Keep up the hard work. My son and I have reviewed the footage on hand, and believe we can add a sequel. So… Keep up the hype, and we will check the ratings, and box office sales to determine if we will go ahead. To some of you that means returning, but to those that won’t. Your work will speak for itself. Enjoy your dinner for all your hard work,” Titus sat down, and Clarke felt his eyes on her.

Food was brought out table to table, and she felt bad watching Lexa struggle so she stopped her, and ignored the stares from her parents. “What do you want?” Clarke asked her taking her plate from her.

“Chicken please, and salad please,” Lexa smiled at her, and she filled her plate with it.

Lexa’s father handed her the salad, and he decided to break the silence. “So Clarke. Do you have any work lined up?”

“I got an offer to be in an episode of Murder in the Mountains, and my agent has a few auditions lined up for me. What are you working on?” Clarke asked, trying to get to know Gustus a little bit better.

The big man shrugged. “This and that. I’m actually slated for a christmas movie that won’t be released until the following year. It’s about an ex-con, who needs money so he takes a gig as a Santa. He sleeps at the mall, and is trying to make an honest living, and he runs across a street kid stealing to get by. He sets her straight, and they try to stop a robbery, and well… Don’t want to ruin it for you.”

“No one has yet been cast as the child. How about Madi? Does she have the acting bug?” Titus asked.

“No,” Lexa growled, surprising her, and Clarke placed a hand on her wrist.

Titus spoke up next, and she realized where Anya got that evil little half smirk from. “It is up to miss Griffin what her child does.”

Clarke felt a little nervous. Madi had expressed an interest in acting. Gustus was a big softy. She remembered him from set when she was younger. She had scraped her knee chasing after the other kids and he had patched her up. He was a soft Alpha, but possibly not as soft as Lexa.

“Madi has expressed interest in acting. It would be nice to show her the auditioning process, but it is up to her. I’ve been more focussed on relaunching my career now that she is older.” Clarke explained and Lexa ground her teeth, and pumped out a threatening scent towards her own grandfather. Gustus picked up on it. They were the only table full of presented adults, and the air was growing thick around them.

“I will have a copy of the script printed out and maybe we could read it together this week.” Gustus offered, and Clarke just nodded along and Lexa squeezed her leg.

Once Lexa was finished eating she stopped pushing her food around her plate. “I should get back up to the room. Thank you for a lovely dinner.”

Lexa got up quickly. “I will walk you.”

Both Titus and Gustus didn’t say anything other than goodnight, but… Anya knew… Which meant they likely knew as well. It was likely the reason that Gustus and Titus asked if Madi was interested in acting. They wanted to get to know her better.

“They want to sink their teeth into her,” Lexa growled, and she pumped out her scent to try and calm the Alpha, but it didn’t work like it would have on anyone else.

Clarke pulled Lexa inside of her room, and she thanked Luna before the woman left. Madi was almost asleep but seeing Lexa had her wide away. Lexa went over to read a story, but Clarke stopped her.

“Pills, and change your clothes.” Clarke ordered.

She helped the Alpha change out of her pants, but Lexa was insistent she wanted to sleep in her boxers, and bra, but she made her put on a robe. Madi cuddled her underneath the blanket and Lexa told her a story as the medication started to kick in.

Soon both Alpha and child were fast asleep and Clarke didn’t bother to move them. She set her alarm and woke up early the next day leaving medication out for Lexa as well as another note.

Gustus was in line for breakfast and he called her over, and she joined him. The Alpha glared at anyone who tried to sit near them and pumped out his scent pushing it out and warning people off of approaching.

“First off… I like you… Secondly, I want to get to know my only granddaughter so the movie is hers. I don’t do Christmas movies, Clarke. I watch them, I produce them.. I don’t act in them. But I am willing to do anything to get to know her better. My father… He is the reason why Lexa said no yesterday. I acted because I wanted to get girls. Anya, Lincoln, Lexa… He molded them as his legacy.”

“Anya acted when she was younger and then wanted to direct and produce… Lincoln was like me, and agrees with everything. He likes smaller roles and the freedom to do what he wants, and never have I read a tabloid with his name in it that was negative. He saves kittens out of trees… Anya used to street race… And Lexa.”

“Lexa wanted to do stunts. She always wanted to be part of the action. I am a strong man, but not emotionally strong. I lost my mate. I was hurting for a long period of time where my dad looked after the kids and I regret that. Lexa used to be a kid before her mom died, and then she wasn’t.”

“Madi is a Woods. Lexa’s room smells of you both. Your scent.. Is mixing with hers. I know the signs. Your wolves have already decided, but… I would like to know why you never reached out to us.”

Well for multiple reasons. “There are still things I need to speak to Lexa about first. But I can say I didn’t reach out because by the time I found out I was pregnant Lexa was dating Costia. Your daughter wasn’t exactly known in the news for saving kittens. So I took a couple years off from acting to create what I thought was a stable environment.”

“Your mother? Your dad and I have kept in touch. I am a little pissed he didn’t tell me, so he may get a couple elbows in our next league game. But I’m sorry Clarke. My wife struggled as well.”

“Lexa told me… I am sorry if you are hurt by me keeping this secret, but there is more to it, and… God, it would be so much easier if I never broke her stupid nose. I’ve… I’ve known Lexa was my mate since I presented. We ran into each other at a few parties, and then one party I guess we were both drunk enough to look past that incident.”

“That’s how my wife and I ended up with Anya,” Gustus laughed. “But you truly believe she is your mate?” Gustus asked.

“I know she is my mate,” Clarke said surely.

They started to eat their breakfast, and didn’t speak anymore as Titus sat down with them. The Alpha as well pumped out a warning scent for anyone nearby, but this one made her sick. There was just something about him she didn’t quite like, and she wasn’t sure what it was.

Production Assistants went through the buffet, and she had lost track of time. She had to get to set, and they were shooting off site. Well at least not somewhere she could easily walk to.

Filming went all day and she didn’t get back until after dark, and she felt bad for Lexa. The Alpha took her pill and then slipped herself away from Madi. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. Gustus knew. Titus knew, and she needed to tell Lexa before Titus did.

“Baby… We need to talk,” Clarke led Lexa back into her room where she sat her down on the bed.

“Clarke,” Lexa seemed worried, and Clarke pumped out her scent, and hated that this part of Lexa was cut off.

“I need to tell you something, because… Because it’s time and it has been a secret I have been holding back for awhile. For at least 6 years now.”

Lexa’s brow furrowed, but Clarke pushed on. She needed to say this. “You are my mate. As in true mate. It’s why… It’s why my mark stayed,” Clarke closed her eyes and took a deep breath before telling Lexa the last secret she had. “And how I was able to have Madi after one night together.”

For a minute she thought it was going to be alright. “It was you,” her mate said in disbelief. “Why did you tell me? Why didn’t you come find me?! What the hell Clarke!”

“Why didn’t you stay?” Clarke started to let the tears fall. “I waited for you, until I was told to check out. I knew you were my mate Lexa because your scent calls to me. I can barely think when I am with you. All I want is you.”

“Then why did you get married?!” Lexa shouted.

“Because I was stupid. I was just 19 and thought I could push away these feelings, but I can’t. Every heat is horrible, my daughter looks and acts more like you every day, and I was fucking scared! I didn’t want you to think I was using you or your family. You drank like a fish and partied for years. I wanted a stable life for my daughter.”

“OUR DAUGHTER!!” Lexa screamed and blaster her scent so hard Clarke fell over, but then the Alpha was there to pick her up. “Fuck. I’m sorry…. I need some space.”

“Please Lexa. Don’t leave. Not now. Not like this,” Clarke cried and begged, but Lexa was already out the fucking door.

Maybe it was none of her business, but she called Anya and told her she told Lexa, and asked if Raven could come up to her room. As she stepped into the room she shared with Madi, and Lexa the past couple days, she decided to give the Alpha space. She closed the adjoining doors.

They were all scheduled to fly back together in a couple days but she couldn’t stay in this space. It reeked of Lexa, and her heart was breaking in her absence. She needed her mate, but Lexa didn’t need her.

Raven knocked on her door and she let her in and told her everything. Lexa wanted space, she would give her space. Raven helped her to find the next flight home, and gave her a key to her place, since she was mostly staying with Anya anyway.

Her best friend then helped her pack and she opened the door to Lexa’s room and left all of her things on top of her suitcase. Madi’s things were all over the place just like Lexa’s and it took her longer to pack her bag. Raven stayed up with her and drank coffee. Lexa didn’t come back though.

At 6 am she knocked on Anya’s door and gave her the pills. “I’m headed out. Raven said you were happy with all my scenes, and I want to give Lexa the space she needs.”

“You’re a great actress Clarke. This movie is going to be a hit, and I hope you and Lexa can work things out before the sequel because I would hate to have to replace you.”

Clarke sighed. “My character is easy to replace. I get it. Good luck on your next project, and thanks for giving me a chance.”

“Safe flight,” Anya nodded to her.

Raven drove her to the airport and they arrived before 8am. Madi was a little confused, and upset she couldn’t read with Gustus again, because she really liked the story. She would have to get her dad to contact him when she got back. He deserved to be in Madi’s life if he wanted to be. So did Lexa.

Bellamy was on her flight to her surprise. In a way it was her saving grace. Madi was distracted from not having Lexa. Bellamy helped her to keep Madi entertained and she appreciated it, but she missed Lexa. It was so much easier with her than without her.

When she landed back in L.A. she expected to call a cab to take herself and Madi back to Raven’s but Bellamy offered them a ride, and she was too tired to say no. Madi was exhausted, and cranky, and she just wanted to crawl into bed.

As Bellamy drove her to Raven’s she texted her agent and told him she was done filming. After 2 months of working nearly everyday she wasn’t sure what she was going to do with her time. Auditions sucked at times, and she would only be needed for a couple days to shoot the episode of Murder in the Mountains.

“Night Clarke. I’ll be in town for a little bit, let’s get coffee. I have a project coming up, and there are still a couple roles to be cast.” Bellamy offered, and she found she couldn’t turn him down because she needed to work.

Raven’s place looked like a bomb had gone off in it at some point, and Clarke made the decision to stay the night and look for a different place in the morning. A good amount of her things were at Lexa’s, and she would take an uber to her parents and leave Madi there to pack up their things from Lexa’s house. She couldn’t invade her space, when the Alpha had asked for it.

Chapter Text

There was a part of her that wondered if Clarke was her mate. Her Alpha felt so at ease with the Omega. Like it belonged. There was no rage or discontent, like it sometimes felt when with another. Only peace and contentment. She just didn’t expect to hear what Clarke told her, and needed space to process everything.

Anya would be her usual choice to speak to, but her sister had to know. It was likely why she was so cold to Clarke… Which meant there was only one person she wished to speak to about it. One that wouldn’t judge her. Her brother.

Octavia was in Lincoln's room when she knocked but the woman got up and left, recognizing that she needed to speak to her brother alone. So she poured herself to Lincoln and Lincoln let her sleep on the spare bed.

When her shoulder hurt she got up and went to Anya’s room because her sister had texted her that she had them. She took a pill and accepted the water given to her, and then decided to head back to her room.

The first thing she noticed was that the connecting door was closed… Then she noticed all of her things.

Lexa knocked lightly at first, and then gently called for her. A night without Clarke was too much. All the feelings she was feeling. It was hard to explain, but maybe it was easy at the same time. Clarke was her mate, and being by her. Even if she wasn’t frustrated and angry, it felt right.

Knocking on the inner door didn’t work so she waited a bit. Maybe Clarke wouldn’t answer if she thought it was her. She had scared her. She pushed her scent out and made the Omega fall. She yelled at her.

There was a certain darkness inside of her. Something similar to her grandfathers, and it reared its head last night, and maybe she scared Clarke away. Maybe the Omega decided that raising Madi alone was what was best for her. It seemed that Clarke thought more about her daughter than herself.

When she went to knock on the outside of the door, the room looked like it was getting turned over by a member of the hotel staff. Madi and Clarke’s belongings were gone. They had left. Clarke had decided that Madi was safer without her in her life. Just like she had years prior.

Her father was at the bar when she dragged her feet there. She didn’t bother changing. She looked like shit, hadn’t slept well, and was depressed. She recognized the feeling after years of therapy, and it wasn’t an enjoyable one.

“Clarke?” Her father asked.

“Gone,” Lexa’s voice broke when she told him and she slumped down in the chair and ordered a non-alcoholic beer.

Titus rounded the corner like he had been waiting there. “Good. Then you can come back with me, and film without a distraction. No more stunts Lexa. You are a great actress, pull yourself together, we are in public. Whatever dalliance you had is over. You are a Woods, so act like it,” Titus ordered, and Lexa grabbed her beer and left the bar.

Gustus followed her and sat down in the sand beside her. “So… What are you going to do.”

“I don’t think there is anything I can do.”

“Fight. Fight like hell to make it work, if you think they are worth it, and I think you do. Fight.” Her father said and then sat there beside her, and ordered her some more beer whenever she was done.

Lexa stayed on the beach until the sun setting trying to figure out a plan to get Clarke back. She had been an ass to her growing up. Clarke knew they were mates, and it took her a lot longer to figure it out because she didn’t have a sense of smell. There was some making up she had to do. Wanted to do… Because they were worth it.

Anya kept checking in on her. Raven as well, but she felt empty, and lost. The pills weren’t helping and a part of her felt like she deserved the pain.

After another week she finally stepped foot in LA and was the first person that Dante dropped off, and she grabbed her bags from the trunk and rushed into her home hoping to see Clarke. The blonde wasn’t there, and neither was Madi.

It was 6 in the morning, and she grabbed an energy drink from the fridge and grabbed the keys to her car and drove straight to Jake and Abby’s house… Clarke wasn’t there. But Jake was, and he invited her in for coffee, and she could tell he felt alone.

“Where is she? I need to see her.”

“Montana. She booked a cottage for her and Madi to stay at before filming Murder in the Mountain.”

FUCK! She couldn’t go to Montana. She had messaged Clarke a few times, and didn’t hear back from her. Anytime she called her it never went through. It was like Clarke had blocked her number.

In her mind she kept replaying everything. Clarke begged her not to go. She just didn’t want to hurt Clarke, or Madi. She had started to yell, and thought space was the best course of action.

“If you speak to her. Could you let her know I have been trying to get in touch with her? I’ve texted. I’ve called. I just want to apologize.” Lexa thanked him for the coffee and got in her car, and drove to the studio.

No point in sleeping… All she had to do was pick the script and she picked the one that Clarke thought would be best. It was less physically demanding. All she had to do was drive. Kinda like the transporter. All she had to do was rescue a tech billionaire's daughter. And return her. The expected plot twist would be that the girl wanted the money and to start over. But the twist was it was her father who orchestrated the entire thing to see if she was a worthy heir.

Kinda interesting. Her character just knew who to drive, shoot, and the typical role she took. The female would look like a ditz, but would actually have her fathers genius level IQ and would help Macgyver them out of a couple sticky situations. Clarke thought this one was the best, and she trusted her, and in a way wanted to be close to her, and gain her approval.

Titus was already in his office, and he looked up from his laptop when she knocked on his door. “I like the work ethic, but I can only push up shooting until tomorrow at the earliest.”

“Do it… And I want to do this movie,” Lexa threw the script on his desk.

“Not what I would have chosen.”

“It has the least amount of stunts, and I can do the scenes where I won’t aggravate my shoulder. I do have a request. I want Raven to work on all the explosion scenes.” Lexa stipulated because she wanted to keep the woman close, because she could ask her about Clarke.

“Do you want your sister to direct it as well?” Titus asked and she could see that he was getting angrier.

Lexa laughed. “No. It would be better if Knapp directed. He is known for his car chases, and has a dedicated stunt team, to pull off all the stunts. I am just to focus on my acting.” Lexa stated, but didn’t add for the time being.

“Good. Very good,” her grandfather picked up the phone and she heard him order a crew to ready the set to shoot her scenes in his movie the following day. She needed to be kept busy. Clarke would return from Montana. Next he called Knapp and left a pretty blackmail-like message, and told him she wanted filming to start within the next month.”

She was dismissed… But she didn’t bother to go home. Her home felt empty. The trailer she wanted to go into was already in use for some other movie. But she had an office she rarely used and it had a couch. So she started to read the script she would shoot the following day. It would keep her busy for a week.

For that entire week she found her focus elsewhere, and it showed in her work. Her grandfather yelled at her. The rest of the cast was frustrated by her, and Lexa felt weaker by the day until she collapsed on set, and was rushed to the hospital.

“When was the last time you ate?” The doctor asked her.

“I dunno.” She couldn’t remember eating much at all the past couple days, but her shoulder pain dissipated.

“This isn’t some crash weight loss for a new film is it?” The doctor looked threateningly at her, and Lexa shook her head. “Then what is it? I can’t help fix you if you don’t help me understand what is going on.

So… Lexa told him everything. It was so much easier to tell a complete stranger. Though she did have the doctor sign an NDA that her lawyer faxed over, just because she didn’t trust the whole doctor patient thing.

Out of every doctor she had ever visited, he was the most helpful. Years ago when her nose broke the doctor she had seen told her she might not get her sense of smell back ever again. This doctor took her up for x-rays and spent a day with her. A day. She might have been some Hollywood star, but she felt like he actually cared about her.

Now she had a surgery planned. But she had to eat. It was kinda childish in a way. Like tricking a child to eat their food in order to get their dessert. She had to be strong enough to recover from the surgery. Which meant eating. But he said that she would have a 50/50 chance of regaining her sense of smell and she took it.

Not hearing from Clarke hurt, so did visiting her empty home. So she packed her bags and moved into her apartment near the studio. Anya came over to eat some meals with her. One a day. Her father always came to bring her something to eat as well.

Knapp came to the studio a couple days after she reshot the scenes her grandfather hated her acting in. She pulled it together to get it done. She felt a little better with food in her system. Her ability to concentrate more increased, and she had more energy. She had taken to walking around the studio, because she couldn’t work out like she used to with her shoulder and soon her nose.

“I need you to do a chemistry read with our top 3,” Titus ordered.

So she did the chemistry read, and it didn’t go well with the first actress. The second it was okay, but Titus didn’t like the look of her… The third was a newer actress that had a line of health foods, and was known for her Jo Juice. Josephine was a Nepo baby like herself, and as with the other actresses they spoke a bit before reading their lines and Josephine offered her one of her juices, and to her surprise she actually liked it, and spoke about work outs, and healthy energy.

When she did the read through it felt better than it had with the other actresses. Josephine was flirtatious when need be, but it was the look. She had clearly rehearsed everything, and her face was expressive, and she hit all the cues, and Lexa felt herself pulled in when it came to a scene where her character got angry with the tech princess. The woman didn’t flinch like the other actresses did, and she just shrugged and played with her hair like she was bored.

“Perfect,” Knapp spoke up.

“Agreed.” Titus added. “Miss Lightborne, when can you start filming?”

“I’m finishing up a project on stage 5, and can be ready to film in between takes.” Josephine answered, and brushed her hair behind her ear.

“Good,” Knapp tidied up his papers against the table, and her grandfather led Josephine out of the room. “Lexa, how did it feel?”

“She didn’t flinch when I yelled at her. She nailed facial cues, and looks like a party princess, which the role asked for. I think it will go well. Less cast members usually means fewer mistakes.”

“I agree. So… My team is setting up but as you know I have connections with a few companies, and have a couple options,” he pulled out a couple pics of the cars, and she noticed they were all Audi’s, and Mercedes. “You can pick. Titus said you have a couple free days so I arranged for you to test drive them both. Just so you are aware. Whatever one you pick. They will want you to shoot a commercial.”

“Okay,” Lexa shrugged. That wasn’t a big deal. At least she would get to pick the car she felt most comfortable driving. And sometimes shooting commercials was fun. Especially superbowl ones, and that was on her bucket list of things to shoot.

The following day she met Knapp at the track and drove one, while her stunt double drove the other, and then they traded. To her surprise Knapp had pulled a couple strings and brought in a Lexus, a Cadillac, a Porshce and a BMW.

They went through the other vehicles and then she drove her top two trying to narrow it down. It was between the Mercedes and the Lexus. Porsche was too James Bond, and she wanted to pick a vehicle that she actually enjoyed, especially if she had to shoot a commercial for one. She wanted to believe in the product.

“Mercedes,” Lexa said.

“I thought the Audi handled better,” the stuntwoman said.

Knapp waved over to a group of executives, and he pointed to the Mercedes. It seemed like the execs had a fun time. Some money was exchanged, and Lexa had a small laugh before the Executive director was introduced to her.

Lexa went with him out of the track and to her own car. She loved her charger. She followed him to the closest dealership and an office was cleared out for them to negotiate.

“You can pick whatever car you want on the lot. It’s yours, but we expect you to drive around in it. A second vehicle can be picked after the film is released. We will shoot at Grouders studio, as per your request.”

“I want a superbowl commercial. 3 million per commercial, and I leave with 2 cars today. I want the AMG SL Roadster in black, and I will also take the EQB 4Matic in white. I will also buy the Mercedes Benz Revenge motorcycle at a discount, and will drive it off the lot after I alert a media outlet to help build press.”

“If you get some of your other family members to drive the other cars off the lot. I will throw in the bike,” The man offered, and Lexa shook his hand.

Her own lawyer showed up before his did. Then her father arrived, as well as Lincoln. Anya arrived with Raven and a couple reporters, and camera men. Which the executive invited inside the lot because she wanted to have an easy exit. She signed the paperwork and handed the keys out to her family.

Lincoln would be taking the electric vehicle she wanted to give to Clarke. Anya and Raven would be taking the convertible, and Anya agreed to let Raven drive it. Her father would be taking the charger back to the house, and thankfully brought her a helmet, but she needed to be seen first on the bike.

There was only one bike available. A floor Model that spun around. Anya brought over a cameraman, and she hopped on the bike and started it up. She had only read about them, and seen a couple commercials, but hadn’t driven one yet, or known anyone else who had.

Lexa drove it off its spinning station and the staff cleared the way for her to drive the bike down as people started to take pictures. Once she got to the actual lot, she got off the bike and approached the exec shaking his hand again, and offering him to come check out some of the filming with his family.

She learned from her father that garnering relationships was the most important part of the business. Big or small. She wanted that superbowl commercial, and she also liked cars. Money was money and it only took a day to film a commercial. So she took pics with the staff, which she didn’t normally do, before hopping back on the bike.

“Ready?” Anya asked, and took a couple photos.

“Yeah. Pizza at my place?” Lexa asked.

“Sure kid,” Anya teased, and Lexa put on her helmet before driving the bike off of the lot.

The balance was weird. It was a light bike, with a unique design. It would take her a couple hours to get used to it, but it was fun. She weaved in and out of traffic on the way to her place, and then pulled over to the side and opened the gate for her family to pull into the driveway.

She needed a bigger garage. Perhaps even a bigger property. Gustus put her car in, and then Anya, and Lincoln boxed it in, and handed her the keys to all of her vehicles. She kept the bike out, she would drive it to the studio the following day, but kept it running for her family to take for a little spin as she ordered dinner.

Lexa hated checking her phone… No phone calls from Clarke. No messages either. She was tempted to get social media just to message her, but she kept herself from doing so. Of course she stalked Clarke though… She was seen out with Bellamy again and rumors were flying about a possible relationship between them. Also she was spotted with a couple directors, and a producer buddy of her fathers known to date all the women he helps cast.

It was enough to make her break her phone…

Knapp called her while they were having pizza, and she went outside to speak to him. He had kids. She had met them on the set of the last movie they worked on today. As she sat by the pool she remembered all the fun times with Madi, and missed her. She missed her daughter. Maybe her Alpha knew when she had referred to Madi as their daughter.

“I have a scheduled surgery in a couple weeks, so I would like to get as much filming done as possible. I can’t thank you enough for today. I’ve been having a rough go of it lately, and it was just what I needed. The cars, and bike were an added bonus.” Lexa chuckled, and Knapp laughed.

“Well, we get the cars for free… Product placement and all. The Audi execs are a little bummed, but I worked something out with them. They plan to relaunch a classic with a modern design, and there is a scene where you need a new car… So it all works out. Glad you had a good day Lexa. See you at the studio tomorrow.” The director said and Lexa felt a little lighter.

When she got inside she turned to Raven. “Have you heard from Clarke? I message her at least every day and she still hasn’t got back to me.”

“That’s weird… Though I have noticed she doesn’t reply to my texts. Clarke has only gotten back to me on instagram, and she is just finishing up filming in Montana, and then she flies to Nashville to start work on a series, but it's only 4 episodes. Clarke said she should be back in LA in a couple months,” Raven explained to her, and Lexa was grateful she at least got an answer from her. She didn’t need Raven’s pitying looks though.

The following day she showed up to the studio on her bike, and parked it right outside her trailer. Titus had really pushed to get the film started, and she was grateful for being pushed into work. She missed Clarke, she missed Madi, and she had no idea how they felt. Did they feel as incomplete as she felt without them by her side?

Chapter Text

Bellamy had messaged her a few times different times to meet up and she picked the one that was most convenient for her. Aka the time where her father could watch Madi for her. Bellamy took her phone and added a couple numbers of other directors he knew for her to reach out to.

He got a television gig working security for a famous country singer. He put her in touch with the producers, and they were thrilled to hear from her. They were looking for someone who could actually play guitar. It was only a couple episodes, but it was controversial. So she wasn’t sure if she wanted to take the part, but she had nothing else on offer, and she would begin shooting right after filming Murder in the Mountain.

It took her a few days to decide. She had made the decision to get the hell out of Ravens apartment and since she wasn’t getting jobs in LA she decided to head to Montana and rent an Airbnb for a month.

Madi loved the snow. She had bought them jackets, and had to have snow tires put on her car before starting their little road trip. She got them both toboggans, and enjoyed the time with her daughter, but as she did so, she wondered what it would be like if Lexa was with them.

Lexa for sure would have taken Madi out tobogganing. She would have likely started a snowball fight at some point, and she would have hated Madi reading the script that Gustus had given her. Because Madi was determined. So much so she had to set aside time to rehearse with her in order to schedule time to record a reel for the producers on the TV show Bellamy was working on.

She got the call from them before she started to film Murder in the Mountains. She had landed the role. So she took it. She was going to play an up and coming country star that gets picked up by the lead. Her character is gay. Rebuffs the advances of the main character, and is roofied on the last episode, and left for dead. It would be the end of the series and possibly the end of her character, but it was 4 episodes.

Music kept her busy. Kept her mind focused.

Clarke found that during her shooting on Murder in the Mountains she made more slip ups than ever before, and that was because her mind was on Lexa. The Alpha clearly wanted more space, as she hadn’t mesasged her back at all. It was infuriating.

Eventually on the way to Nashville she built up the nerve to call her. Well the alcohol helped make the decision for her, but the line didn’t even ring. She tried a couple more times, until she decided to message her, and she didn’t get a reply from the Alpha the following day, when normally Lexa was so good at messaging her back.

The trip took her 4 days to make, but she wanted to drive. Madi liked seeing the country, and they sang along, and just had some awesome mother daughter bonding time. She just hated lying to her daughter.

Whenever Madi would ask about Lexa, she nearly broke. But… She stuck to the same story. Lexa was filming a new movie, and she had to film her TV show. But she did promise that Madi could see Lexa when they got back to LA. Certainly the Alpha wouldn’t deny a chance to spend time with her daughter. If she did, she might break her nose a second time.

Everyone who was working on the show was all staying at the same place. It was a little awkward to introduce Madi as her sister. Most people knew her family name, and knew she had a sister, because her father had said so… It was harder to explain why Madi was with her and not her father. But she managed, and Bell helped shut down questions which was nice.

“Let’s get dinner with the rest of the cast. I told them you were coming, and they got excited to meet you.” Bellamy explained.

So she got dinner with everyone and got to hear more about the story. Bellamy was playing the love interest of the singer's Wife. The lead character country star cheats on his wife. She cheats on him, but divorce is complicated and after years of marriage, they are together to maintain an image. Classic story.

There was zero chemistry between her and the guy they cast as the lead… Not until someone busted out a karaoke machine, and she realized he was really good at harmonizing, and she saw that little half quirked smile and realization dawn on his face as they sang a duet that one of the producers had chosen for them.

Afterwards she spoke to him, and opened up more. He had kids, and missed his wife. He had done a couple movies, and shows, but had been picked by the showrunners because he put on a good show at one of the local bars, where they found him. He was away from the one he loved, and she could relate to that.

Bellamy was jealous. She could smell it on him. Clarke just wasn’t sure if he realized how obvious it was to not only her, but everyone in the room. She excused herself from Jenson’s company, and said her goodbyes. She didn’t need that kind of energy, and he was drunk.

Madi was in her room with the sitter. The showrunners had hired someone for her, and she found she didn’t mind the older woman. She had expected a younger woman. Her only request was no men, and that was just because she preferred to keep her daughter safe, and felt she would be safer with a woman over a man just because of the images she found on Finn's phone.

“Perfect little angel,” the woman stated. “See you tomorrow Miss Griffin,” Flora said and walked out of her room.

When she hadn’t heard from Lexa after a month she decided to call Raven… Lexa hadn’t heard from her either… Which was affecting the Alpha and Clarke almost packed her bags, but Raven told her to stay. That Lexa had every intention of speaking to her.

So Clarke called her agent and lined up some auditions for herself in LA. She wanted to be back near Lexa. She just had about one more month left of filming the TV show. The showrunner was happy with her work. She liked her co-star Jenson.

He showed her pictures of his kid, and told her that his wife was coming down during the last week of filming, and he invited Madi to join his kids as they toured the city. She agreed, and found herself confessing that Madi was actually hers, and he was blown away at first, but promised to keep that secret, and she could tell that he would. He had been nothing but honest and upfront with her.

Both of them hated the last scene that they had to film. They both shook their heads multiple times, and at times laughed because it was so awkward, and they had developed a friendship. But the series would be jumping forward a couple years, and wanted to show him at his lowest, before focusing on creating new music and a new image in the second season. Which they weren’t sure if they were going to get.

Money was money though and they eventually pulled it together to finish the take. Jenson introduced her to his wife, and kids, and Madi had really enjoyed her time with them, and Flora had gone with to help watch them, and guide the tour as she was a local.

“Wrap party!” Bellamy exclaimed and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go. He had been more appropriate around her the past couple weeks, and thankfully hadn’t emitted any pheromones that worried her.

At the wrap party she had a couple drinks, and started to feel a little funny. Bellamy made his move. She smelt him before she felt his lips on hers. There were a couple cheers, but she pushed him off, and felt a soft hand wrap around her and Clarke fell against the shoulder of Jensens wife.

“I got you,” she promised and took her up to her room. “Madi and Flora can stay in our room with the kids, and Jenson and I won’t be leaving your side until you get in your car.” Kelsey explained, but Clarke found that she couldn’t speak.

A doctor came in to check on her the next day. Blood was drawn the night before, but she was kept in her room. The producers didn’t want anything being leaked to the media, but it was too late for that. Pictures of Bellamy kissing her had surfaced, her agent called and left a message, and she found she had a lot more to deal with than she had originally planned.

Kelsey stayed with her, and she noticed that Jenson sported a black eye when he came into the room. She stayed with her as she spoke to her agent and told him what had happened to her. He swore, and promised that a statement would be released, that they weren’t an item as he worked on taking the photos down.

“I think it best if I drive your car back. Been meaning to take the Wife to LA, and the kids get along fine. You book the next flight home, for you and your girl Clarke,” Jenson spoke softly and his wife Kelsey agreed, and she looked up flights.

Bellamy had been walked out of the hotel. She had messages from him that she ignored and deleted, because who else would have done something like that. No one else had tried to get with her other than him, and it was too similar to the last episode and Bellamy was hella stupid at times, especially when he had been drinking like he had been these past couple weeks.

Jenson drove her to the airport and helped her with her and Madi’s luggage. He gave her a big hug goodbye, and they exchanged numbers, and he warned her to block Bellamy’s number. Blake was about to be blackballed by their production studio, and would likely have a hard time finding projects. The man knew Bellamy helped her land his gig, so he would likely demand she help him find a new role, and would lie about drugging her, because there was no proof.

On the fight she did just that. She blocked Bellamy, and then decided to check to make sure he was actually blocked and looked at her block list, and found Lexa’s contact information there… As well as Ravens. Raven she had been speaking to over Instagram, and had called her on facebook, which she barely used but answered, when she noticed it was her.

Fucking Bellamy. It had to have been him. There was no other option.

Madi had her headphones on, and she decided to call her dad, and he texted her Gustus’s number. She spoke to him and told him what had happened on set, and he was not happy about it. Then she told him that Lexa and Ravens numbers had been blocked on her phone and only noticed because she wanted to make sure that Bellamy's number was blocked. He was angry, but he insisted on picking her up at the airport.

Her daughter was excited to see him. Gustus had a sign, and a cap on that drivers would have. He was even holding some flowers and a stuffy. The big bear of a man picked up Madi, and then waited with her to grab their luggage before bringing them into his limo.

“You are both staying with me for a couple days. I won’t take no for an answer.”

Clarke smiled up at the big man, and was shown to a room on the main floor of his house, and it reeked of Lexa, but, thankfully she wouldn’t be staying in that room. He gave her a knowing look, and told Madi she was to stay in that room. Clarke was given a guest room, and didn’t come out of it until dinner arrived.

Gustus had the great idea to show up on set, and she agreed. She had unblocked Lexa’s number, but this was easier to talk about in person. The older man let them sleep in, and Clarke was grateful. So much had happened in the past week, and her body needed rest.

The big man was bonding with Madi. Her daughter was oblivious that she was speaking to her other grandfather. She wanted Lexa to be the one to tell Madi. And that was only if she was ready to step into the role she had never really let anyone else try to fill.

“Now… Why don’t we check out wardrobe and props and see if we can find some costumes and run some lines without the script?” Gustus offered Madi as the Limo pulled up to the office.

“Yes!” Madi was excited, and she gave her permission because she wasn’t sure how long it would take to speak with Lexa.

She found her trailer easily enough and went inside of it. Lexa’s trailer smelled of Lexa, but also of Beta… Pheromones filled the room, and whoever the woman was she was trying to entice Lexa with her scent.

When the door to the trailer opened she jumped out of her chair, and first she saw a woman, before she noticed Lexa, and when Lexa’s eyes landed on her, she noticed her shock at seeing her standing in the trailer.

“Clarke,” Lexa swallowed, and she smelt her nervous pheromones.

“Look. I don’t know who you are, but we have lines to run.” Josephine said impatiently.

When Lexa didn’t say anything and just gawked at her, she felt hurt. So fucking hurt. “I guess I’m no one special,” Clarke said angrily and brushed past the woman, but Lexa grabbed her before she could leave the trailer.

“Josephine. I have to deal with a personal matter. But will be back shortly,” the Alpha said and Clarke felt even more hurt than before.

Lexa pulled her in between the trailers, and searched her eyes for something before pulling her in for a hug. “I’ve missed you. You aren’t no one. Don’t ever say that again Clarke. You are mine, and I am yours. You are the most special person in the entire universe, and I am the dumbest.”

Clarke felt tears start to fall down her face, and Lexa brushed them away before kissing them and then she tilted her chin up to look at her, and searched her eyes before pressing a kiss to her lips. “Alpha,” Clarke’s voice quivered, as Lexa pulled back, but didn’t stop scent marking her, which was making her feel dizzy.

“I love you. I love you. I want to be with you. I can’t even stay at my own house because it feels so lonely without you. I feel empty without you,” Lexa confessed, and Clarke pulled her in for a hug, and decided to push her pheromones out as well, as Lexa ran a hand over her back.

“Lexa… Something happened at a wrap party. I know you haven’t seen it yet, but if anyone says anything or if you see a picture of me, kissing Bellamy. It wasn’t my choice… I was drugged. And I know you may have a hard time-”

“YOU WERE WHAT!!” Lexa pulled her back to look at her, and searched her for any sign of damage.

“I was drugged. Like my character was during the last episode. Nothing happened. Jenson, the star of the show, and his wife came to my rescue, and I hopped on the next flight back here. I blocked Bellamy's number and when I checked to make sure his number was blocked I noticed both your and Raven’s numbers under my blocked list. I am so sorry. I tried to call you and text you. I thought you gave up on me. On us.”

“Never,” Lexa said and stroked her hair. “I would never do that. I love you. I want us to be a family. I don’t want to be apart from you Clarke. It hurts. It hurts so much, and no matter how busy I stay, nothing helps dull the pain…. I guess that is what it means to have a mate. I tried to call you as well. I texted you. I thought you wanted to keep Madi away from me because I yelled, and I broke a tile. I thought you thought it best to stay away from me.”

“Break as many tiles as you want,” Clarke laughed. “I’m not going anywhere, but if you care about me, that bitch will not be running lines in your trailer, because I hate her scent on you Lexa, and it is all over you,” Clarke groaned and sniffed at Lexa again just to confirm.

“Sorry. Titus suggested it, and I didn’t think it mattered, but I won’t run lines with her in there. We can do it somewhere else… I have an appointment tomorrow. I really need to get back to shooting, but I have a couple days off. Where are you staying?” Lexa asked, holding both of her hands, and Clarke’s heart jumped at being able to see her again later.

“With your father,” Clarke said and Lexa groaned, but promised to head there as soon as she was done shooting.

Clarke stayed up waiting for her, and messaged Lexa. The Alpha messaged her back and she curled up on Gustus’s couch wanting to try and stay awake for her. The sun was coming up as she finally smelt Lexa and felt a warm blanket wrap around her.

“I have to go to my appointment, but I was wondering if you could pick me up? It should be a couple hours, but if you are too tired.”

“No!” Clarke shouted. “I’m awake. I can take you,” Clarke yawned, and Lexa laughed and pushed her down on the couch wrapping the blanket around her and making her giggle, as the Alpha had a huge smile on her face.

“Sleep. Gustus can drive you to pick me up, and then you can drive back my car. I have a surprise for you baby,” Lexa smiled and kissed her before giving her a stern look, and pumping out her scent a bit in warning. So she snuggled into the pillow on the couch and rested her eyes for a couple hours.

Gustus had Madi outside when she woke up. Her daughter was splashing around the pool, and being silly, and having an all around good time. Gustus played the bad guy and told her to get out of the pool, and get dressed. At the mention of seeing Lexa, Madi started to run and was no longer fighting to stay in the pool for a little while longer.

The older Woods man brought them into a hospital. She had thought Lexa had an appointment for a meeting. Did something go wrong? Gustus sensed her worry and pushed out his own pheromones to try and keep her calm.

“She should be fine. A little out of it, but fine.” Gustus said, and Madi reached for her, and Clarke held her on her hip and followed Gustus over to desk, and then a nurse led them into a separate waiting room.

Clarke sat down and Gustus placed a hand on her shoulder and told her that it wasn’t an emergency surgery, but something that Lexa wanted to get done. What the hell did the Alpha need to get work done on her body for. She was perfect.

“Woods,” A nurse called.

“Here,” Gustus said standing up and Clarke stood up with him.

The nurse shook her head. “Only one family member in at a time.”

“I got Madi. We will go get something from the gift shop. She should see you first,” Gustus said and Clarke followed the nurse into a larger room and pulled back a curtain to reveal Lexa.

“See…. I told you I had the most beautiful mate in the world,” Lexa said to the nurse who rolled her eyes.

“Make sure she doesn’t talk too much. We’ve had a hard time getting her to shut up.” The nurse said and closed the curtain.

Clarke cocked her head. Normally Lexa liked to remain silent. “Hey,” Clarke gently pushed her hair out of her face, and looked down at her nose.

“I smell blood Clarke,” Lexa said excitedly. “Blood,” She smiled.

“Oh my god,” Clarke freaked out, realizing what that meant. “Lex,” Clarke gently stroked her hair and Lexa rubbed her head in her hand.

“Don’t leave. I want you to be the first person I smell,” Lexa commanded before drifting off to sleep for an hour.

The doctor woke up her sleeping Alpha, and then handed her pages of what to do and what not to do. Lexa was also given a prescription for pain medication, to a less addicting substance which was just entering the market.

Clarke was given Lexa’s belongings, and the Alpha refused a nurse's help to get dressed, and grabbed her hand and ran with her into the nearest washroom. She looked so cute, as she pouted, but she had scanned the what not to do section and that was on it.

“No pouting,” Clarke warned. Once Lexa stopped she grumbled about Lexa’s stubbornness as she helped the Alpha into her clothing and carefully buttoned up her shirt.

“I think you're the prettiest, and I got you something pretty as well. Come see,” Lexa said, leading her from the room.

A large male nurse was waiting for them outside of the washroom and she had to promise Lexa cuddles all night if she got in the chair, because she was about to refuse, and she knew that would just mean the Alpha wouldn’t get released, and would have to stay in the hospital and not get the cuddles she asked for.

“Lexa!” Madi shouted and ran towards them and Clarke picked up their girl so that she wouldn’t jump on Lexa. “Gussy said you were alright. I missed you.”

The Alpha smiled, and she didn’t want to scold her for doing so in front of her daughter. The list of don’ts was pretty big, and smiling was one of them. But she liked seeing them smile at one another. Madi reached for Lexa and Lexa held her hand the entire way out of the hospital, as she probably called her own father Gussy at least 5 times, and laughed every time.

“She is your problem now Griffin. If you want I can have your things packed up and sent to Lexa’s.”

“YES!” Lexa shouted. “Go do that now Gussy,” Lexa shooed away her own father, and Gustus pumped out his scent in warning, and looked at her.

“Please,” she said kindly and pushed out her own to battle theirs, and she heard Lexa sigh. Her Alpha could smell her. Lexa was now affected by pheromones, and she couldn’t wait for them to breathe in each other's scents.

Now that she was standing she took Madi in the direction of where she had parked but she didn’t recognize the vehicle. Lexa opened up the back seat, and she noticed Madi’s car seat and the Alpha leaned in to buckle her up before getting into the passenger seat.

“Do you like your gift?” Lexa asked her as she drove them to her house.

“What gift?” Was Lexa high and thinking she had handed her something?

“The car. It’s yours. I got a contract with Mercedes, and negotiated a second car. It’s electric. I got a charging station in the garage right next to the door. Do you not like it?” Lexa asked her.

Oh wow… Her parents had gotten her a car when she got her license, but she had never really cared about cars. Not like Lexa did. Clarke gripped the steering wheel, and ran her hands over it, and then adjusted the mirror and the seat a bit.

“It’s perfect. Thank you baby, but you didn’t need to get me anything.”

Lexa smiled and then got comfortable in her own seat leaning it back all the way so that she could see Madi, who was sitting in the back playing on Lexa’s phone. “I have some making up to do, but I promise I won’t spoil you with gifts. My love for you is pure Clarke. Pure as angels wings,” Lexa said sleepily.

She had to wake up the Alpha to get her inside the house. Madi had already raced ahead on her direction to get the tv ready. Likely Lexa would just fall asleep again. It gave her time to read through everything the doctor had handed her. Madi was good at realizing Lexa needed rest, and easily cuddled up with the Alpha and told her what she had been up to as Lexa slowly fell asleep again, as predicted.

The Alpha had no groceries in her house. Protein powder, and some frozen pizza, but that wouldn’t do. Lexa needed healthy food, and a good amount of protein to aid her recovery, so she made her a shake and put it in the fridge, before gently taking the Alpha’s phone from her hands and putting in a grocery order.

Ice cream was a must. Popsicles, anything cold to help bring down the swelling. She ordered chicken, steak, and a lot of vegetables knowing the Alpha preferred that as a meal, but she also made sure to get ingredients to make a pasta dish Lexa had liked when she made it for her.

Before she closed the phone a message came in from someone named Jospehine and curiosity got the better of her. She clicked on the message, and noticed a couple between the two. Mainly talking about rehearsing lines, and a lot about food and workouts.

Josephine: Miss you on set Alpha

Oh no… Her Posessive as fuck Omega side kicked in and she decided to message her back.

Lexa Woods: Do not call me that

Josephine: How about daddy?

Josephine messaged her back quickly and followed it up with a sexual picture, but she still had her clothes on. Clarke wanted to break the damn phone. Instead she set it down. Lexa would have to deal with that later.

She googled Josephine Lightborne and an article came up with Lexa in it. They had been spotted out getting juice, and Lexa was carrying a couple of her bags. Ugh… Her stupidly nice Alpha.

Boundaries had to be set. Expectations of one another, and so on and so forth. Clearly she was jealous as fuck, and that wasn’t good at times. Lexa also got jealous as well, and they needed to be on the same page about work, and public image. At least they were back together.

Chapter Text

Bliss… That was how she felt spending her week with Clarke and Madi.

Her family came to check on her a few times, and she had to tell Clarke about collapsing on set. Her Omega was worried. She could see it… but she could also smell it. Though she was pretty bandaged up it was easy for her to tell.

Clarke had made her almost every meal, and Madi had been great. Showing her what she learned, and talking to her about doing a movie with her father. She wanted to do it. Her little girl's eyes lit up, and Lexa could sense her excitement.

“When is your birthday Madi?” Lexa asked a question she had been aching to ask for awhile.

“July 4th. There are always fireworks on my birthday,” Madi stated and Lexa nodded along. “Mommy says I was born on the perfect day, because I am so in-de-pen-dint,” Madi struggled to say the word and she found it adorable.

She could work with that. Normally her dad held the family cookout at his place, but maybe she could throw a birthday party at her own place instead, and invite everyone.

Clarke was on the phone with one of her co-workers. They were arranging a time for them to come down to bring Clarke’s vehicle, but since she had given her one of her cars, and finally got Clarke’s information the Omega was now official on her insurance. So she didn’t need her car, but Lexa suggested that her friends come and stay at her place with Clarke, and Madi because she needed to get back to set soon, and they would keep the Omega busy.

Lexa had started to put out feelers with a couple studio execs, and was actively searching for a role she thought the blonde would be perfect for. She would pull all the strings in order to keep her close to her. Those couple months apart had been hell. Not only for her, but Clarke as well.

“What did they say?” Lexa asked, as Clarke came back into the room.

Clarke came to join her on the couch, and kissed her softly on the lips. The Omega was always careful about touching her, and had turned into a right mother hen. Always making sure she didn’t do this or that, and Lexa felt more looked after than she ever had in her entire life.

“They asked if you were sure, and I said yes. Jenson and Kelsey are both fans of yours, and are having a little freak out at the moment, but plan to start driving down.”

“Good,” Lexa smiled. “I don’t want you to be alone in the house. It felt so empty without you. I was also thinking we could enroll Madi in school next year. It’s almost summer. We can interview nannies and I want her to have as normal of a childhood as possible.” Lexa explained to her Omega mate. Who by the way she kissed her, really liked the idea.

Clarke ran the idea by Madi who was super excited, and then worried she wouldn’t be able to do the movie with Gussy, but she assured her that there would be time to film. There was time afterschool, and on weekends, and holidays. If her dad was serious about making this film with Madi, he would make it work.

When Madi went to sleep every night they had a lot to talk about… Josephine had to be dealt with, and gently. There was also their upcoming heat and rut. Which they wanted to spend together. Also a trip to the Hamptons.

Titus always had the family, studio execs, and famous celebrities over to his house in the Hamptons during the first week in June, and that was a month away, and almost lined up with when their heat and rut would hit. She wanted Clarke to be there to schmooze with her.

There was also a matter of getting there. Flying Into New York just made the most sense to her because Madi had never been to a musical, and she was also wanted at the premiere of a movie she had filmed a year prior.

“I think I need to hire a personal assistant.” Lexa said to Clarke when she tried to make heads or tails of her calendar and then their shared calendar that they had created in order to know what they were up to.

“You should. Perhaps they can remind you to eat when I am not there,” Clarke teased poking at her abs.

Lexa groaned and then climbed on top of the Omega and pinned her arms down to the bed. “I don’t want to get fat. Or this,” Lexa said, grinding her hips. “Will be awkward.”

“And it will be super awkward if you knock me up this heat. It’s too soon. I know you want to give Madi another sibling, and I smell your desire, but I think we should both take precautions.”

She wanted to see Clarke pregnant so badly. She likely looked so beautiful. Also pregnancy cravings. Not all of them were food related, and a few male friends told her stories, and she wanted to experience that all with Clarke.

“Fine,” she grumbled.

The next day Clarke woke Madi up early and deposited her in the seat of the car. The Omega was driving her to work. She was going to introduce Madi to Knapp because she had told the director all about her, and wanted Madi to see the set. It would also be a statement to Josephine to back the hell off.

Her Omega kissed her in front of everyone, and Lexa kissed her back, trying to keep her hands from squeezing her ass was hard, but she held her by her hips, and Clarke gently touched her nose, before giving it a gentle kiss, and saying her goodbyes.

Josephine didn’t seem happy. She could read it. She could also smell it, but only a little bit. Not like the way she could smell Clarke.

Madi had been sad to leave the set, but she needed to go with her mom. They had called around to a couple schools and they had waiting lists, but wanted to do interviews. Which she thought was weird, but was apparently normal.

Filming went well, and her father picked her up from set, and drove her back to the house. She wasn’t allowed to drive for another week because of the new medication. She tried not to take it, but it hurt. Especially when she had to eat, or if she spoke too much.

“Clarke will be coming with to the Hamptons. Our cycles are set to begin a little after, but I got us suppressants to hold it off. If we can’t make it back home, can you take Madi, and coordinate care with Jake until we can get back?” Lexa asked.

“Of course. Anything to get another grandpup…”

“Clarke said not yet.” Lexa explained to her father, who’s pout imitated her own.

Back at her place, Clarke was asleep on her side of the bed. She took a quick shower, careful about her face, and then she dried off before slipping into bed. Clarke reached out for her, and Lexa pulled her close. As she pumped out her scent she realized that she could smell it as well and pulled Clarke tighter to her, taking small inhales of the Omegas powerful scent.

Calming. That was the first thing she noticed. She was always calmer when Clarke was with her. She could also smell others, and knew that Jenson, and his wife Kelsey weren’t a threat to her.

Jenson was a car guy, and when she told him about her new movie, he wanted to come see it, so she brought him to set. Well he drove them to set, and stayed the entire day watching everything and he was great company.

A part of her was sad when they left. She had been busy with work, and other than the occasional dinner, she hadn’t got a chance to know him or his wife as well as she wanted to. But maybe she would get a chance to know them better in a couple months.

Trailers were already being released for their TV show, and there was a billboard and she noticed Clarke was on it, and stopped to get a photo with it to send to the Omega and tell her how proud she was of her.

Filming wasn’t done. Knapp was a perfectionist but it was time for a break and a lot of people had been invited over to her grandfather's house. Including Knapp who wanted to go, and was bringing his family.

First stop… New York.

Clarke’s father was coming with. It was awkward, but they needed someone to watch Madi, and Clarke wanted him to get out of the house for a bit before her mother returned home.

But… It allowed Clarke to be her date to the premiere.

The Omega had picked out a beautiful dress for herself, and Lexa was proud to show her off on her arm. When an interviewer asked her questions, Clarke was there. When she had pictures taken with her co stars… Clarke only stepped out so one picture could be taken and then she stepped back to her side.

When people asked if they were dating they didn’t bother to answer. They weren’t dating. What they had was deeper and rare. Really rare. Not many people would understand or could possibly understand.

The following night Jake got them tickets to see the Lion King, and he brought both her and Madi backstage, and Madi got to meet some of the actors. She shook hands, and took a couple pictures, but her favorite was the one Jake got of herself, Clarke, and Madi.

Since she was being a brand representative for Mercedes a car was brought for her to drive up to the Hamptons. The driver had even put the car seat in that she had requested, and Lexa drove them up to her grandfather's estate, and then over to the smaller cottage she usually stayed at while she was there.

Tents were being set up, and there were people going in and out of her grandfather's house. Madi wanted to go to the beach so Clarke brought her to get ready, and Jake got changed as well.

Lexa ran to the house and found her grandfather in his study. “What did I say about love Lexa?” Her father asked her without bothering to look up.

“I am weaker without her,” Lexa stood her ground against him for once in her life, and pushed out her own scent to combat his.

“Lexa. Where is my grandbaby?” Gustus found them and asked her as he broke up the intense stare off between herself and Titus.

“No,” Titus growled. “I will not have that woman and her spawn ruin our legacy.”

Her father pushed his way into the room, and pulled her grandfather from his chair and threw him against the bookshelf. Gustus growled in his face, and pumped out his scent, until even Lexa felt the need to submit.

“She is our legacy! Clarke is an Omega, a brilliant actress, and the mother to Lexa’s daughter. Your great granddaughter!” Gustus pushed him even harder against the wall. “You will not pit them against one another. Madi will be doing a movie with me, and by the time it is released, we will tell everyone a story. This isn’t some fairy tail, and I won’t let you turn it into a damn horror story.”

Lexa had never seen her father that angry before. He stormed from the room, and she mumbled “beach,” under her breath and he paused as he heard her and then continued storming through the hall. He didn’t have to fight her fight. It was hers, and hers alone.

“Madi is my daughter, and Clarke is my true mate. I just had surgery, and now I can smell grandfather, but… I didn’t need it to figure out that Clarke was my mate. I was sick without her. Sick. Everything felt hollow, and it sucked. It fucking sucked. Clarke is my mate, and I intend to claim her as such after this weekend.” Lexa said before turning to walk from the room.

“YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE!” Her grandfather shouted after her, but she didn’t want to listen.

By the time she had arrived at the beach Madi had both of her grandfathers wrapped around her finger hauling sand, and then buckets of water, to test the moat. Clarke looked so sexy in the outfit she was wearing, and her Omega lowered her glasses to check her out.

“Get my back?” Clarke asked and Lexa gladly grabbed the lotion and spent much longer than necessary, and rubbed lotion into more than just her back. The Omega moaned softly so that no one else could hear, and Lexa had to roll onto her front as well.

Clarke made a couple jokes about her wood, but stopped when Madi came over to ask Lexa to make a sandcastle with her. “Lexa and I have something to talk about Madi, but I promise to send her your way when we are done talking,” Clarke smiled at their daughter, and then at her, and Lexa mouthed thank you, because there was no way she could get up right now.

When she was finally able to get up without fear of embarrassment, she joined her daughter. Her father had brought over a lot of beach toys, and when Madi got bored of sand castles they started to play soccer.

Lincoln, and to her surprise Octavia showed up. The woman made a b line for Clarke and Lincoln came to join them and said that Anya was just finishing up a heated conversation. It seemed that her grandfather didn’t agree with who any of them dated.

Ocatvia wasn’t her brother. She had already told Anya to cut him from any carpet events needed for the premiere. Also Raven wasn’t some gold digger. She had seen the way the woman dressed, and she knew she made enough money to wear something different. Anya had bought her clothes that she even returned because the pyrotechnic genius had her own taste, and it wasn’t in high fashion like her sisters was.

Anya played soccer with them, and Octavia and Clarke came to join. That night they ate hot dogs over the fire, and she made Madi smores. Clarke let her clean Madi’s face, and she felt herself stepping into a parental role, and found she didn’t hate it.

Guests started to arrive the next day. A children’s area was marked off as always. Her grandfather even hired lifeguards to watch the pool area. The kids had a bouncy house, a slip and slide, and attendants to make sure that there was fair play. The majority of them also had a nanny looking after them.

Knapp approached her with his wife. She had only left Clarke’s side to get her drinks or food. The woman had been so attentive to her needs when she was injured it was the least she could do. Also she wanted Clarke to have a chance to talk to important people on her own.

“Let’s get a pic in front of the car with the beach in the background,” the director ordered, and Lexa agreed.

“Spouses in the pic,” Lexa ordered, and then had a server take a couple pictures of them with her phone.

Clarke had social media, and could post whatever the hell she wanted to. Lexa liked when the blonde posted them on valentines day. There was also a photo of their feet she posted while they were cuddling and watching a cheesy movie, but no one could tell it was her. Unless they were super into looking at her feet.

Her mate was radiant, and they took a couple pictures together as the evening progressed. Madi was getting tired from playing with the other kids all day, and Jake took her to the cottage early.

It was getting pretty late by the time her grandfather approached her, and he didn’t come alone. Josephine was on his arm, and then off of it when she noticed her. The woman kissed either side of her face before pulling back.

“Lexa, you are healing nicely. Your grandfather has been so nice showing me around, but I haven’t been able to find a drink. Think you can help me with that?” Josephine asked and she looked behind them and noticed the woman’s father standing a few feet away talking to Knapp.

“Sure. That way you know where to find them, the next time you need one,” Lexa said, making sure that Josephine knew she wouldn’t be helping her again. She brought her over to a drink table, and grabbed a non alc beer for herself. “Help yourself, and enjoy the party. I need to go find my mate.”

“Titus didn’t say you had a mate.”

“Clarke. Clarke is my mate Josephine, and neither of us appreciated you sending me that image. I know we have a lot in common, but I appreciate friendship more than anything, and I am not interested in anyone other than my mate.”

“Whatever you say Lexa,” Josephine said in a way that Lexa didn’t believe a word she said.

She found Clarke and told her what happened and they agreed to head to bed early that night. But instead of heading straight to bed, they headed to the beach and walked along it until they didn’t see anyone else’s footprints but their own.

“My heat is going to hit soon. Do you think we should send Madi back with our dads, or do you want to fly back with her, and have her stay at one of their places.”

“How long does your heat last?” Lexa asked her, wondering about how long they could push it back, but also curious as to how many days they would be banging each other's brains out. She had ideas she wanted to see through, and if they were back at her place it would be easier to make them happen.

“About a week, but no one has ever helped me through one before.” Her cock tightened in her pants, and Clarke rolled her eyes at her and then pushed her down on the sand before climbing on top of her. “You want to be the first and last to knot me Alpha?” Clarke asked and rolled her hips against her length and Lexa felt her eyes roll into the back of her head. They hadn’t done anything since valentines day, and she wanted that so badly.

“Yes,” Lexa moaned and bucked into Clarke like a desperate teenager.

“Then we should figure out what we are doing soon because I want you Lexa. I will be so desperate for you, that I won’t care where you take me… On the counter, against the wall, on the beach…”

Oh fuck. Lexa had to gently push Clarke off of her because she was about to cum. “Let’s go,” Lexa growled and pointed to the house. “Or I will knot you on this beach and that won’t be comfy for either of us.”

Clarke ran along the beach holding her dress as Lexa chased her. She felt her wolf closing in, and knew it wouldn’t be long until she was ready to rut Clarke. At least this time, she wouldn’t be alone. Her knot wouldn’t be inside just anyone. It would be inside of her mate. The most beautiful Omega, and mother to her child.

When they arrived back, they told Jake their plan, and Lexa looked up flights and called the dealership where she had got the car from. They would have a closer one pick up the car, and all she had to do was leave the key on a magnet underneath the vehicle and they would be able to pick it up from the airport.

Jake was on a flight with them the next day, and came back with them to her place, so that Madi could bring her nightlight back to his place for the week. They had forgotten it, and the one they had got didn’t compare, and she wanted her baby girl to feel as safe as possible when she wasn’t there to protect her.

After a long goodbye, she was finally alone with her mate. She had texted her sister, and father. Also Knapp because she wouldn’t be able to shoot, and shouldn’t be on set until after it was done, but since she had every intention to claim Clarke in return, her scent shouldn’t affect anyone, and Clarke’s… Clarke’s would say that she belonged to her.

Chapter Text

By the time her father had left with Madi she was ready to be out of her clothes. They were itchy, she was feeling hot. Lexa had already turned down the thermostat, and was busy bringing things into the bedroom, while she searched the fridge trying to find something appetizing to help wash down the birth control pill that smelt nasty.

“This is disgusting,” Lexa said, drinking her own.

Her Alpha understood her desire to wait and she was appreciative of it. She had ordered pills for herself, and had an implant in her arm ever since giving birth to Madi. Precautions on top of precautions. As much as Lexa was understanding she knew she wanted to see her pregnant, and Clarke would be begging for it soon enough.

“Look, we will talk it out next cycle, and see where we are at. I promise. You are the only Alpha worthy of giving me pups Lexa, and I will need your help once they get here, so if this is something you are serious about we have to have a serious plan, and right now isn’t the time baby,” Clarke soothed her Alpha with her words and pheromones.

“I can’t wait anymore,” Lexa said and then she was picked up and carried into the bedroom.

Lexa placed her on the bed and didn’t bother with foreplay before diving straight to her core, and lapping up the slick she had started to produce. Strong hands kept her pinned to the bed as Lexa worked her up quickly and she came, her cunt squeezing around nothing, and her heat got worse.

“Holy shit. You smell so good baby,” Lexa climbed on top of her and Clarke struggled to undo Lexa’s shirt as the Alpha worked on taking off her pants.

“I need you,” Clarke moaned and rolled her hips trying to brush them against Lexa’s cock.

When she saw it she grabbed it in her hand and stroked it feeling it's hardness. Lexa was large. She would stretch her out so good. She would fuck and fill her. She had never seen her knot, but it was likely large as well, and it would do such a good job of keeping her seed inside of her.

Clarke’s Omega was coming to the surface. Logic and reason were soon forgotten about as she got on her hands and knees and turned to face the Alpha. Lexa’s jaw dropped, but the Alpha didn’t stick her cock inside of her. Clarke wiggled her legs, but still Lexa didn’t approach.

“Not this way,” Lexa growled and turned her onto her back.

The Alpha climbed on top of her and ran her cock through her slick, and then lowered her body, and did that a couple more times, as she moved to kiss her.

Clarke’s mind melted as Lexa started to kiss her back. Her own aroused scent was filling the room, and she wanted Lexa. She wanted to please Lexa, and feel her inside of her.

“Please, Alpha. I’m so empty.”

“Shhh,” Lexa kissed her a few more times and brushed her hair out of her face before gripping her, and turning them over so that Lexa laid against the bed and she was now on top.

She scrambled to grab Lexa’s length, and she nearly had to stand in order to line it up with her entrance as she held it up in the air for her. Clarke snapped her eyes to the Alphas as she slowly sunk down her length, and Lexa looked just as pleased as she felt.

“You’re so big Alpha. Stretching me so good,” Clarke moaned as she slipped a few inches further down her length.

“Tight. So tight,” Lexa groaned and held her hips from taking her further and Clarke whined.

“Please Alpha. I need it.”

Lexa slowly started to thrust into her. The Alpha was using her strength to keep her from slipping all the way down her length like she wanted to, and Clarke mewled and whined as she tried to bounce on her cock, but was held back.

“More. I need it Lexa.”

“Patience,” Lexa grit out, and it sounded more like she was speaking to herself than her. She could smell how pleased Lexa was. How close the Alpha was.

“So strong Alpha,” Clarke gently stroked her hand with her fingers. “So big,” she squeezed Lexa’s cock with her walls, and watched her face break with pleasure. “Long,” she bounced up a bit and then back down as she squeezed her walls completely ruining Lexa. “Hard,” she added and let out a filthy moan as she slipped down the rest of her length.

“Clarke!” Lexa warned.

She wiggled around a little and was pleased she was fully seated on Lexa’s cock. “Now that’s better,” Clarke moaned and ground her hips as she placed her hands on Lexa’s rock hard chest.

They had barely had time to explore one another. Clarke leaned down and sucked one of Lexa’s nipples into her mouth and the Alpha bucked up into her. She did the same to the other one, and Lexa gripped her hip tighter than before.

Knowing that she enjoyed it she sat up and focused on grinding her hips. She then brushed her thumbs across Lexa’s nipples and Lexa started to buck up into her in time.

“Clarke. Oh Clarke,” Lexa moaned her name and Clarke increased her pace.

When her knot formed she nearly came, but she wanted to hold back. She tried to hold back. She needed to take it. She wanted it more than anything right now, and it needed to be worked inside of her.

“Lexa inside,” Clarke begged. “Knot me, claim me Alpha. I’m yours,” Clarke couldn’t take Lexa’s knot well in this position. Alpha’s were made to push it inside of their mates, or bedpartners. Not have them take it from on top. Lexa’s was large, and would need to be forced in.

Lexa flipped their positions so that she was on top of her again, and she felt her knot brush against her clit. “More Alpha. More!” Clarke begged and grabbed Lexa’s ass and rolled her hips trying to take more of the knot as Lexa slowly pushed it inside of her.

“Oh fuck. Oh Clarke,” Lexa was a moaning mess on top of her. She could feel her Alpha shaking as held herself up.

“Harder,” Clarke begged and scratched down Lexa’s back.

The Alpha lowered herself and grabbed onto her hips. The pace was a little slower, but Lexa was now slamming her hips into hers, and the knot was starting to catch, and the stretch was exquisite.

“Gunna breed you Omega,” Lexa groaned.

“Breed me, Claim me,” Clarke begged and pulled her hair away from the left side of her neck.

Lexa latched onto it sucking, moaning, rutting. Clarke felt like she was seeing stars, her orgasm came quickly, but lasted well until Lexa finally slipped her knot inside of her.

“ALPHA!!!” Clarke screamed out as Lexa came inside of her, and her body followed suit.

“Mine,” Lexa growled, and nipped at her neck.

“Yours. Fuck. Do it. Please!” Clarke begged and Lexa bit down, and Clarke blacked out.

Intense. Her last orgasm had been so intense that she had blacked out. When she woke Lexa wasn’t in bed, but she smelled her, and heard her.

Clarke found her in the washroom desperately beating off in the shower. This time she actually got to see her, but she knew what she was doing even through the door.

“You better not waste that,” Clarke growled, coming into the shower and presenting herself.

Lexa pushed her against the wall and she made out hungrily with her mate. Lexa lifted her hip and Clarke guided her inside of her. The Alpha thrust into her, and Clarke squeezed her walls, and rubbed at her clit because she woke up desperate, and was finally being filled.

“I’m gunna cum.” Lexa warned, and Clarke rubbed faster and faster and as Lexa came she bit the mark she had made on Lexa’s chest years before.

“FUCKKKKK!!” Lexa screamed and Clarke felt her womb being flooded by the Alpha’s seed as Lexa slowly thrust into her, and she milked her for every last drop.

Clarke was out of the shower before Lexa, and she didn’t bother toweling off. She climbed on the bed, and spread her pussy for Lexa to see her cum leaking out of her.

The Alpha growled and soon Clarke was being filled and fucked from behind. Lexa was fucking her like an animal and hitting spots inside of her, she didn’t know need to be reached. When she knotted her, she didn’t pass out this time.

“You are so tight,” Lexa moaned and thrusted as far as she could inside of her.

“More,” Clarke demanded, and placed one of Lexa’s hands over the small swell that had formed.

Another growl and Lexa kept her hand there as she fucked her and Clarke moaned like the bitch in heat she was. Her Alpha came again and again inside of her, until Clarke’s belly was so swollen it hurt. Lexa rolled them onto their side, and kissed her forehead, as Clarke started to fall asleep.

Lexa was growling again by the time she woke up. She felt fingers prodding her cunt, and she watched as Lexa tried to push her seed back inside of her.

“Get the pillows from the couch,” Clarke ordered, and when Lexa didn’t move she pumped out her scent. “If I get up, all of your seed will drip out of me Alpha,” Clarke pouted, and that got Lexa moving.

Time was something she lost track of as Lexa moved inside of her. She had put the pillows under her hips, and Lexa held her firmly in place. Clarke pushed out her neediest scent, and the Alpha grunted, and pushed her knot into her moving the pillows, and Lexa stopped thrusting into her, to readjust her on top of them once more.

“Knot me Lexa. Please, I'm begging you. Just put it in me, and then use your strength to pull in the position you want me. Please Lexa,” Clarke begged, and Lexa’s ears perked up a bit, and she was pushed into the pillows as Lexa pushed her knot into her.

“Gunna breed you Omega. Your body is begging for it. Fill you until you are round with pups,” Lexa growled and grunted, and thrust her large knot into her joining their bodies together.

“Oh yeah. Just like that. Don’t stop,” Clarke ordered as Lexa’s groin nudged her clit, and had her screaming out her name, as she came. “LEXA!!” Clarke cried out as her walls milked Lexa’s knot and the Alpha released herself inside of her.

Lexa didn’t stop fucking her. The stamina the Alpha had was incredible. She pushed and pulled and adjusted her body on the pillows. Lexa didn’t exactly know how she liked her clit being played with but she was a fast learner. The Alpha had her cumming around her cock, and sending them into continuous cycles until she tired out.

Little thrust, and rumbles started to build up as Lexa regained her energy, and even though Clarke tired, her body came again and again every time Lexa deposited more of her seed inside of her.

“Mine,” Lexa growled tiredly and finally relented in removing the pillows from underneath her.

“You can fill me again in a few hours, and we can look at breeding mats,” Clarke said to her as Lexa finally was tired out and grumbling against her shoulder as she tried to keep her body off of her belly.

When she woke up again she was needy and Lexa was hard. She slipped down the bed, and sucked Lexa into her mouth. She slurped and sucked on the Alpha’s cock and Lexa moaned and bucked up in her sleep.

Her knot had formed and Clarke started to squeeze the base of it. Both hands wrapped around it, and she had to wonder how it fit inside of her. But just thinking about that had her wanting Lexa. She pushed out her scent, and Lexa moaned and thrust harder, and Clarke felt her cock throb before Lexa came inside of her mouth.

“Clarke!” Lexa’s eyes went wide as she woke up.

Clarke lost hold of Lexa’s cock as the Alpha quickly got up as she came, and her cum coated her face, and chest. Lexa looked at her with hunger, and Clarke climbed up her body.

Slowly she took the cock in her cunt, until she was seated to the base. Clarke used her fingers to help gather Lexa’s cum and she cleaned it off of them as Lexa thrust slowly into her.

“Omega,” Lexa purred, and Clarke nearly broke from the scent she was pushing out, and Clarke pushed out her own. Lexa then leaned up and brought their bodies closer together. Lexa then used her body to keep theirs together until she was leaning back against the headboard.

She grabbed at it with both hands and Lexa kept a hand at her lower back using it to help push her knot inside of her. Clarke felt balanced, and then lowered her hand to her cunt, and started to play with her clit, opening her walls up to accept Lexa’s knot inside of her.

Lexa’s neck pulsed and Clarke bit her own lip before pressing her mouth against it. She sucked her mark onto it, and Lexa brushed her hair out of her way to give her neck the same treatment. Her tongue flicked over each scar she had made, and Lexa pushed her knot inside of her before sinking her teeth into her again.

“ALPHA!” Clarke shouted as her cunt spasmed.

The Alpha pushed her head into her neck. “Bite me,” Lexa demanded, and Clarke bit her back, and the next throb of Lexa’s cock sent a massive load inside of her, and turned her into a moaning mess, who couldn’t do anything other than hold onto Lexa as the Alpha used her superior stamina to work her up into another orgasm.

Clarke lost track of how many times she had orgasmed. Too many, and not enough at the same time. Her heat was nearing its end, and Lexa was growling less and less, and was growing more concerned about the bruises her fingers had made on her body.

Food was had in increments, and Lexa fed her, and forced her into eating more than she normally would have. The Alpha paid attention to her, and Clarke felt well taken care of, and was already looking forward to her next heat.

“I don’t want this to end.” Lexa confessed, and kissed her thoroughly as their bodies rocked together.

“Neither do I. 6 more months and we get to do it all over again. With toys this time,” Clarke teased, and remembered them ordering so many toys she was nervous that a shipping container would just be dropped off the back of a transport outside the gate to Lexa’s house.

“And then pups,” Lexa smiled eagerly, and Clarke wanted to push her away, but Lexa was still inside of her, and they were likely sharing her last knot.

“Then we discuss if it's the right time for you to breed me Alpha,” Clarke rolled her hips and kept Lexa’s focus on her pleasure, because she didn’t want to smell her needy sad pheromones. Already she didn’t want to take the birth control waiting for her in the kitchen but as her heat slowly faded, she knew it was the right course of action.

It was dinner time on the 6th day of them being alone at Lexa’s apartment when they both knew their bodies had been sated. Lexa ordered take out for them, and left the house to pick up the food at the gate because she didn’t want anyone else's scent ruining things.

“I never knew things could be this intense. I never shared a rut with anyone before losing my sense of smell.”

“And you better not share the commander with anyone else ever again Lexa.” Clarke warned and she knew Lexa scented her jealousy from the way she comforted her, and she believed that she wouldn’t.

Lexa kissed her mating mark, and kept pulling her hair to the side so that she could look at it. When they were in the washroom together, she brushed her hair over the opposite side of her neck, and stood in such a way that Lexa’s tattoo was on display, the eyes completely ruined by her teeth once more.

“The one on my neck didn’t stay,” Lexa pouted.

Clarke traced her fingers over the tattoo. It was beautiful. She didn’t love that it covered her mark, but the mark was more distinguished than before. From a distance it blended with the tattoo, but up close anyone with good sight could see that it was clearly a mating mark.

“I was thinking of adding another wolf. One for Madi,” Lexa said and it melted her heart.

When she woke up the following morning Lexa wasn’t in their bed. They had changed the sheets the night before, and it felt nice to wake up clean, and not sticky. But she could still smell their scents so potent in the room.

Her Alpha scurried around the kitchen making her breakfast, and as they ate together there was a knock on the door and Lexa groaned, but the Alpha got up. Lexa kissed her forehead, and told her to keep on eating as she went to the door.

Clarke finished eating and when she was at the sink cleaning the dishes, she noticed Lexa speaking to two people outside of the house. They both had tables set up, and Clarke knew exactly what they were here to do, and she got super excited. Lexa noticed her, and her smile only grew.

“I love you baby,” Lexa came inside and kissed her, and Clarke wanted to drag her back to the bedroom, but knew she was way too sore. She took the final terrible pill yesterday and another one today, just to be safe, and this massage was exactly what she needed.

“What if I wanted my massage to be done inside the house?” Clarke asked and Lexa growled, and pulled her closer. “I see. You know our daughter lives here as well, and her grandpas will be dropping her off, and will likely stay for dinner, because it would be rude not to offer them a meal for taking care of our daughter, while we practiced making another.”

Lexa whined and Clarke laughed, and put on a robe. The people Lexa hired looked away and Clarke dropped the robe and went under the table. Lexa came out next and Clarke lifted her head to check out her mate as she stripped down before getting on the table.

When the female pulled the sheet back she heard her gasp. “I know we talked about hard pressure, but. I can’t in these areas,” the woman traced her finger over her hips, and then part of her lower back, and then one spot over her shoulder.

Her mate’s scent grew concerned and she pushed hers out to alleviate Lexa. “Not a problem. My mate and I got a little carried away,” Clarke explained and the woman, Lexa and the other masseuse dropped the subject.

Whenever she got to another area she didn’t want to apply pressure to, she tapped her lightly and Clarke nodded her head in understanding. At this point below her knees were the only spot the woman could focus on aside from her scalp, and she masterfully massaged her temples, and stopped moaning when Lexa let out little growls and powerful pheromones.

Gustus had messaged them, and said the family was coming over, and not to worry about dinner. Lexa grumbled the entire afternoon as they cleaned up the couch, and threw pillows into the wash. The laundry baskets were full, the house was freezing and Clarke ordered Lexa to keep it that way because she wanted to wear a long sleeved cardigan, and pants.

“I’m sorry for hurting you,” Lexa said when they got changed together in their room after the massage therapists left Lexa’s house.

“You didn’t hurt me,” Clarke assured her mate, and kissed her before pushing her out of the room so that she could do her makeup and try to cover up some of the bruising around her neck.

Madi didn’t pick up on anything. Thankfully. Her father was staying back at his place with their mother. In his opinion Abby wouldn’t handle a mating before marriage well, but that was only buying them a couple weeks time at most.

Lincoln brought Octavia, and Anya brought Raven, who pulled her aside, and pushed back her sleeves, and didn’t ask her if she was sore. Just if it was good. Which it was. Incredibly good. So good she wanted more, and she knew she was walking funny.

“To love,” Gustus toasted them and she enjoyed sparkling water with Lexa.

Anya leaned down the table, and looked at the two of them. “This movie is going to have so much hype,” Anya gushed and Clarke had come to realize that Anya liked publicity. A lot. Lexa didn’t, and handled more of the business aspect of their company. Which she didn’t know Lexa co owned with her sister.

“To a baby sister,” Madi said at Gustus’s urging.

Lexa choked on her water, and she smiled at her daughter and pulled her into her seat so that she couldn’t see the glare she was sending Gustus’s way.

“Maybe in a couple years. Mommy had you pretty young, and needed lots of help. So if you want a sibling you have to prove to us you can help us out,” Clarke said to her daughter as she stroked her hair.

“But they will only be a half sibling,” Madi said.

Gustus took that as his cue to leave. Raven got up quickly as well and dragged Octavia out the door with her, and Lincoln got up to follow them. Anya gave them both a look that said she didn’t envy them, because now they had to explain this to Madi.

It was safe to say Madi didn’t handle things well. Lexa left broken-hearted, because Madi had decided to take out her anger on her, because the Alpha had decided the blame should fall on her shoulders, and no matter how much she told Madi she was also to blame, her daughter wasn’t hearing it.

While Lexa was at work, she dealt with an angry Madi. She then also had to explain why she married Finn… But for some reason she understood that better, than Lexa not being able to care for a child at that point in her career. Then there was also the hurt she felt because they promised her a sibling in the next couple years, and why the Alpha couldn’t have been ready for her, but was ready for her sibling.

At the end of the day she wanted to tear her hair out and had cried more times than she had in a long time. For Madi, for herself, and for Lexa.

Lexa: I have to stay late

Clarke: Madi is still processing. If you stayed at the studio for the rest of the week I wouldn’t blame you. This is your first time seeing Madzilla. I would miss you though.

Lexa: I’m not about to spend a single night away from you when I can get at least a couple hours of sleep beside you. I will sleep better with you than I could trying to fall asleep in my trailer, or on my couch.

Clarke: Such a needy Alpha. I love you baby

Lexa: Love you too, and Madzilla. Maybe waiting is for the best.

Clarke: I agree, but we will talk about it again in 6 months.

Her Alpha didn’t get back to her before she fell asleep. Clarke felt Lexa’s warm arms wrap around her and she pushed out her scent, and felt Lexa relax around her. The Alpha pumped out her own scent blanketing her in protective pheromones like she did every night, soothing Clarke into a deep sleep.

Chapter Text

Knotting was amazing with Clarke. She had only knotted a couple other women, and never for a full rut. Just for the first day, and then they were gone.

Being a celebrity put her in an awkward position. She could pay a high end escort, or she could try to pick someone up that didn’t recognize her, but that was getting harder and harder, and she didn’t like going to bars, or clubs.

Now she didn’t have to. She had the most beautiful mate, with a perfect set of tits and the tightest pussy. Her scent was hypnotizing.

Lexa realized quickly when she got her sense of smell back that no one smelled like Clarke. People either smelt okay, or bad. It changed the dynamic for her on set. Some people she could stand beside before, and now she wanted them 10 feet away from her.

“Happy mating?” Knapp asked.

“The best,” Lexa told him.

He kept her late on set, but she didn’t mind. Madi was pissed off at her, and already ignored her in the morning, and she wanted to give her space to cool down. If her daughter was anything like her she would demand space, and time until she was ready, and as much as it hurt she needed to respect that because she had hurt her daughter.

Shifting the blame from Clarke to herself was an easy decision. Both of them had fucked up. But Clarke was right about one thing. She wasn’t in a good place to be a parent. She was battling sobriety, got out of a relationship that left her broken, and her career was taking off. Not to mention she likely wouldn’t have believed Clarke and hated her even more.

Everything worked out the way it had for a reason. God's plan, or whatever people said to explain why things happen the way they happen.

Josephine smelled not good. But she pushed out her scent trying to entice her, and Lexa knew she was attracted to her. Before she got her sense of smell back, she could tell she was interested but couldn’t tell she had tried to mark her territory all over Lexa’s trailer like Clarke had.

Slowly it aired out. She used candles and started to throw some out now that she could actually smell them. Her trailer was different now. More homey. There was a picture of Madi, and a picture of her and Clarke. The one from Valentine's Day outside of the restaurant. Her lock screen was also a picture of the fireworks display she had set up for valentines day.

Lexa knew she was madly in love, but she wanted the whole world to know. Already people were talking about her red carpet appearance with Clarke. The film was doing well in the box office, and had already made more than the budget. People loved guns, cars, and explosions, and most of the movies she was in had them in spades.

Clarke surprised her on set during the week, and Knapp stopped the shoot. Josephine was pissed off, and crossed her arms, and Lexa left the car, and walked over to her mate who was holding Madi, and Madi didn’t want to look at her.

“I have an audition. It’s last minute, but I really want the role, and the person they had dropped out, and your fathers friend asked me to come in at the last minute.” Clarke explained.

“Which friend?” Lexa asked.

“Todd.”

“Ughh. Okay. Just make sure you're comfortable with all the scenes. And…” Lexa said, sweeping her hair away from her mark. “Make sure he sees that,” Lexa growled and scent marked her for good measure, and Clarke shook her head, as people nearby coughed, or rolled their eyes.

Madi wasn’t thrilled about being left with her. Lexa brought her over to one of the extra chairs set up for the producers, and placed her on Titus’s chair because he likely wouldn’t walk down to see her shoot. He rarely did.

“I love you Madi.” Her daughter didn’t even look up at her when she said those words.

Titus decided to come down and make her day hell… The characters should kiss.

When Clarke walked back onto set she could smell her anger, and Lexa pulled away from Josephine and the woman almost fell over trying to catch herself.

Madi crossed her arms and looked so much like her mother. Her kid hopped off her chair, and held her mothers hand as Clarke stood her ground.

Lexa could feel her grandfather and everyone else's eyes on her. Clarke wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked behind her before kissing her. Lexa held her hips and kissed her back.

“Now that is how that kiss should look.” Knapp said loudly.

“See you at home,” was all Clarke said to her before turning on her heel. Madi turned back to glare at her, and then she stuck her tongue out at her. Ohh they had progress to make. It would be easier making it up to Clarke than it would to get Madi not to hate her more than she already did.

Josephine flopped some lines, and Lexa asked for mouthwash. One unlucky PA now had to hold a cup full of Josephine’s spit as well as her own. Clarke would at least appreciate the embarrassed look Josephine had on her face when she handed her the mouthwash first.

Titus left the set not long after Clarke did. Her grandfather was a prick. A large baldheaded prick, who loved inserting himself into others business, and he likely took it upon himself to get Clarke brought in just to see Josephine and her having to kiss for a scene, he demanded.

“I don’t direct love stories. So we are scraping that.” Knapp ordered, and Lexa knew she had suggested the right director for the film. It wasn’t a comedy. It was an action thriller full of suspense. Not romantic build up and tension. Also likely a reason Clarke picked the script over the others.

When she arrived back at home Clarke was sitting up for her, and she told her right away what she thought happened, and Clarke agreed. Her mate wasn’t stupid. It was why she wiped her mouth and looked right at Titus before kissing her.

“He is such a shitty human being. I don’t think I am getting the part by the way, and Todd stared at my tits the entire time. Even after noticing I was mated.”

“Dad has been friends with him for ages. He is a good director and produces highly rated movies, but the man is a pig. Has your agent got any more auditions?”

Clarke shook her head, and told her her plans for the week. Which included taking Madi shopping, while she had time. They were beating the back to school rush, and were on a waitlist for a couple schools, but the Omega wasn’t sure which one was better, but they knew they didn’t want to send her to public school.

“Things will come your way. Anya told me Monty is working like crazy, and has hired a couple interns to help him get out the film by valentines day. It is going to be great babe, and we will get a sequel. The script just needs to get approved by my dad and siblings first, because my mom wrote it,” Lexa confessed.

Her mate's expression softened, and Lexa felt vulnerable, and Clarke accepted that part of her. Talking about her mother was a sensitive subject, and her mate knew just how to handle it, to pull her out of the funk she had started to feel.

“I’m going to call the schools. I want to have a solid plan in place before my parents show up for Madi’s birthday party. My mom asked to get lunch this week, and I have been pulling excuses out of my ass.”

Lexa brought her mate to bed. She was exhausted, and had stayed up late just to talk to her and reassure her. Clarke was wonderful. Jobs would come, and Lexa had a feeling that if the Nashville inspired show got greenlit for a second season she would be brought back.

Filming was wrapped up a week before Madi’s birthday and she was getting a couple weeks off before going on location. She found herself busier the week leading up to July fourth than she was on set. Clarke had organized meetings with different schools, and they narrowed it down to the top 2.

One was close to the studio, and the other was close to the house. Clarke also took it upon herself to hire her a personal assistant, and Lexa wasn’t surprised she had hired a male. They had also settled on a nanny for Madi, and her daughter at least talked to the Nanny, but she still wasn’t speaking to her.

Knapp and his kids would be coming, She was flying out Jenson and his family as a surprise for Clarke and Madi, and Luna and Derrek would be coming with their kids. Her entire family was invited, as were a couple of her fathers friends who normally went to his place. Jake, Abby, and Clarkes great aunt Paige would be there to try and throw the heat off of their mating.

Her yard wasn’t that big. The basement was spacious and had a pool table, and a couple arcade games. She had put the ping pong boards on the pool table because she didn’t want the kids to scratch it, and she locked the doors to the gym so the kids couldn’t hurt themselves.

A DJ wasn’t needed but she had hired caterers, and Madi loved crunchy cheetos so she had small bags of them all around her place, and Clarke jokingly asked if they had hired her for an ad campaign.

Clarke was great, she was shining, she looked radiant, there was still glow to her skin the past couple weeks. She even smelt better than before, and Lexa found herself begging to fuck her mate at every opportunity she had, which wasn’t many because Madi was always around.

As Lexa cleaned out the fridge with the help of her father, she found the drinks she had taken during Rut. There were 5 bottles left, and she checked the expiration date, intending to move them to the small fridge in her gym, so no guests would see them. And then she noticed it.

“Oh fuck.”

“What?” Her father asked.

“I was supposed to drink one of these a day,” Lexa said nervously.

“Has Clarke bled yet?” Gustus asked her.

“It’s been almost a month,” Lexa said, and then ran the drinks downstairs quickly and deposited them in the gym before locking the door.

The garbage in their washroom was taken out once a week, but sometimes she would empty it. Clarke’s makeup remover filled it quickly sometimes, and face masks, and all the things she deemed unnecessary but her mate loved.

No bloody things were in the washroom garbage. No bloody things were in the garbage on the main floor or in any other garbage in the house. There was a box of tampons that was open, but she had no idea how many were in there before, but it hadn’t moved since she had seen it last.

Fuck…. She had a commercial to shoot next week and they wanted to do it in the grand canyon, and then on the track of Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Clarke was excited to go. It was just for a couple days, but her dad was going to watch Madi, and her mate planned to have a couple drinks and go to the spa while she filmed, and now that couldn’t happen.

Did Clarke know?

Lexa looked up and noticed her mate moving things around the yard with Madi. Caterers were moving around them, and everything was ready. She had fireworks ready to go off when it was dark enough out. One of them in the shape of a poke ball and other cool ones she thought Madi would like.

Another thing she had got Madi for her birthday was a go-cart. Clarke said no to an ATV and no to a dirt bike even though they lived near some nice trails and she had her own off-road vehicles. She also got her an electric scooter so that she could be entertained at the studio.

Since Clarke complained that all of her gifts had motors and were very similar she got Madi 3 other gifts. Fireworks, go-cart, scooter, a small trampoline, a helmet, and a leather jacket that she had custom made that matched one she normally liked to wear. A gift for each year. Which would for sure stop before she realized it, and turned into a Dudley Dursley.

She was freaking out. She had to go to Vegas to shoot the commercial with Knapp, and then had to be in San Francisco for a couple weeks. She didn’t want to miss a thing, and wanted Clarke by her side, where she could protect her, and know she was safe.

Kelsey and Jenson had arrived with their kids Travis and Scott. Lexa helped Jenson run the kids' things up to Madi’s bedroom where she had set everything up for a small sleepover to save on space. She told Clarke Luna’s kids were staying over, but Luna would be bringing them back to her place. Jenson and Kelsey would be taking Lincoln's room.

Out of all of her siblings Anya would likely be too drunk to drive home, and would be asleep before fireworks. But things were different this year. She had Raven so maybe they would be more responsible.

More people started to arrive, and Lexa called it quits on trying to organize things to make it perfect. Clarke had told her to stop hours ago, but Madi was starting to say more than a couple words to her, and she was just trying to make it special and help make it memorable for everyone.

“There you are,” Clarke smiled and walked over to her as she opened up the sliding door. “Did you see who made it?” Clarke asked and pointed to Kelsey and the kids who were playing corn hole.

“I’m glad they made their flight. Those tickets were non refundable.” Lexa teased.

When Jake and Abby showed up with Clarke’s aunt Paige she wondered where they had been hiding the woman. Her personality was so big, it could barely fit in the room. Flowing clothes, gaudy colors, thick earrings, and gold colored everything. Her Shoes seemed to be the only things lacking print, but they were jewelled.

“Oh my darling niece. Let me look at you,” the woman pulled Clarke in by her face, and turned her head from side to side, as Lexa stood awkwardly behind her. “What’s this,” the woman turned a little cold, but in a playful way. Lexa sniffed at the air and realized that she was also an Omega.

Abby approached Clarke quickly and her aunt stepped back. “Is that real?” Abby poked and prodded Clarke until her mate grabbed her hand and held it back. “I thought you were done making mistakes after Madi Clarke.”

Nope… Lexa pumped out her scent and stepped up beside her mate pulling her closer to her. “Hello Abby. It’s been awhile,” Lexa put on the best smile she could, even though she was raging inside. “Please come in, and enjoy our daughter's birthday party.”

“Oh look there is a pool,” Paige said and her outfit billowed behind her as the women made a slow dramatic exit towards it.

Jake pulled his wife closer to him and stuck out his hand to shake hers. “Lexa. Pleasure to see you again, and congrats on your mating. We wish you both many happy years.”

“Do we?” Abby growled and stormed off after Jake’s sister, because there was in no way that Paige was Abby’s sister.

Clarke sighed and Lexa spun her slightly to look at her and tilted her chin up. “Now she knows. She won’t cause a scene at Madi’s party.”

“From your lips to god's ears.” Clarke said before leaving her side to make sure nothing actually happened.

Gustus had it in his head he would barbeque and he was scary enough to chase away the people she hired to do it. Jake Griffin jumped up to join him, and Lexa went over to stand with them for a bit.

“Is it just me or does that woman keep checking me out?” Gustus said and gestured over to Paige who did the piano finger wave at them, and her father awkwardly waved with his tongs.

Jake cleared his throat. “That is Clarke’s aunt, and I felt her eating me up with her stare earlier.” Lexa told her dad.

“She would eat you up and spit you out, then pick her teeth with your bones. Paige may be my sister, but she is scary. I thought she would find a mate, but she is unlike any Omega and doesn’t want kids, and age hasn’t slowed her down. I wish it would. I really do,” Jake grumbled.

Lexa joined them in their awkward stare, and when they were caught again she stepped away. She didn’t need to be part of their awkward group. Nor did she want Clarke’s aunt to look at her like she was some tasty snack.

Luna and Derrek arrived and for a couple with two rambunctious kids they made less noise than Raven did when she showed up with Anya. Luna and Derreks kids went straight to the pool, arriving in bathing suits, and carrying floaties through the house before jumping in and splashing about.

Madi decided she wanted to go in, and Clarke brought her upstairs to change with Kelsey’s boys and they had made the decision earlier that she would be the one getting in the pool. Clarke worked too hard on her make up to ruin it, and had done her braids so that her hair wouldn’t be a mess getting out of the water.

“Auntie Paige look at me!” Madi screamed and jumped in the water.

She wished Madi didn’t have that woman look at her. Lexa tried to stay beneath the surface of the water close to the edge, just so she wouldn’t be devoured by her eyes.

Knapp joined her in the pool and they talked about shooting. Originally she didn’t plan to bring Clarke. The Omega wanted to stay and to a couple auditions, but she wanted Knapp to be aware she might bring Madi, and Clarke and framed it as a vacation before school.

“Are you trying to take the kid to every state before the school year?” Knapp joked.

“What do you mean?”

“You didn’t get my email?”

“What email?”

“I just sent it today. So… No big deal, but I told the execs you gave the EV to your mate, and they want to do a family shoot if you are okay with it? Campfire kinda scene.”

Great… She had given her assistant the day off before starting, and she didn’t plan to bring him with to Vegas. Now she really wasn’t going to. But she did say she didn’t want to be disturbed today, and pumped out a rather threatening scent.

“Lex baby. Can you get me a drink?” Clarke asked and she looked at the drinks table and then went over to the kids table and grabbed her a can of sparkling water. It got her out of the water and now that she was out and near Clarke she needed to speak to her.

When Clarke looked to see what it was, she spoke quickly. “It’s hot out. Water is good for you. Can we talk for a minute, something came up.”

“Sure,” Clarke said and excused herself from the company she was with.

In their room Lexa sat Clarke down on the bed and started to pace. “Knapp wants you in the shoot. I haven’t checked the details, but we will negotiate before filming if you are alright with it. He also wants Madi in it, if you are cool with that. It’s supposed to be like a campout, and promoting the electric vehicle line.”

“Well. I was already planning on being there with you anyway,” Clarke smiled at her, and then bit her lip before leaning back. “But we won’t be alone.”

Lexa stepped between Clarke’s legs. “We are alone now,” she stated and Clarke nodded her head, and they quickly scrambled to remove their clothes.

Clarke took her underwear off, and Lexa stepped out of her wet bathing suit. Her cock hardened in her hand as she approached her mate.

“We have to be quick,” Clarke urged, and pulled her closer, and Lexa slowly pushed inside of her.

Her Omega was wet, not soaked, but wet enough she had to ease in slowly, and not push too hard. She loved it when Clarke squeezed her. Her Omega grabbed her muscles, and sometimes dragged her nails down them, and it felt amazing. She also did soft teasing touches that had her body twitching.

“Clarke,” Lexa moaned and leaned down to kiss her mate as she moved faster inside of her.

“Oh,” Clarke moaned and Lexa made sure to brush against her clit again. “Just like that.” The Omega pleaded, and her aroused scent filled the room and Lexa eagerly drank them up as she filled her mate.

Clarke squeezed her cock like a vice, and came hard around her, but Lexa wasn’t done yet. She had fucked her just right, and now it was her turn. She sped up her pace, and then decided she wanted to fuck Clarke from behind and flipped her onto her stomach before pulling her to the edge of the bed.

She had to pull her a little more in order to reach her hand around the Omega. Lexa stroked her clit, and then gave it a light pinch before snapping her hips. With one hand she pulled Clarke back into her so she wouldn’t be pushed back up the bed. That way her fingers could keep working Clarke up to another orgasm.

“Mmmm,” Clarke moaned and wiggled her hips.

Lexa slapped her ass and Clarke came around her cock surprising them both. Lexa couldn’t hold back, when she felt the tight caress of her lover's walls, and spilled inside of her, pushing every drop further inside of her.

“I think I got you pregnant,” Lexa tried to joke.

Pregnancy hormones were scary. Lexa realized. Clarke scrambled up the bed and started to cry. “You were supposed to drink them every day Lexa. I told you that.”

“It’s my fault baby. I’m so sorry.”

“You wanted this,” Clarke said angrily and pumped out her scent.

Lexa struggled to combat Clarke’s scent with her own as she tried to comfort the Omega. “It’s still early.”

“My period is late Lexa. Very late.”

“So we take a test,” Lexa said, trying to say anything to calm down her mate. “And I will support you, in everything. Let me finish this film, and then I am all yours. You took 4 years off for Madi. Let me do the same. Madi can stay in school, you can go back to work, and I will be a stay at home sire until we can put the kid in pre K.”

“You really mean that?” Clarke cried.

Lexa kissed Clarke on the head and wiped away her tears. “Yes,” she said before capturing Clarke’s lips.

Soon she was back inside of her mate, and they were holding onto her other for dear life as she rutted like a mad man, chasing down a quick release before going back to the party.

She lied about needing to get something to her dad in case anyone asked. Lexa drove her bike to the nearest pharmacy and bought 5 different pregnancy tests, and was recognized by the cashier.

Back at the party her daughter was still in the pool, and having a fun time. Lexa made for her room, and loved the way it smelled of both her and Clarke. If anyone walked into the room they would know exactly what they had been up to. Lexa put the tests in the washroom, for them to use later… Or soon.

“Where were you?” Clarke asked. “Madi wants cake.”

Lexa dragged Clarke back into the house, and showed her all the tests, and Clarke pulled down her panties, and this was the first time she had seen her mate pee. Clarke used 3 different tests, and they left them on the counter. Both of them promised not to check without the other, and it was hard. She wanted to sneak a peek.

Her daughter got her cake, just like she asked. Ice cream cake, vanilla buttercream cake, and oreo chocolate. Not just one cake but 3 because none of them could make their damn minds up and it was worth it to see her little girl's eyes light up. She wanted to roll around and hold her belly like her daughter, who had cake all over her face, just like the rest of the kids her age.

Madi’s party had been a success so far, and she had yet to tell her about the commercial. She planned to after the gifts, that way she could tell Knapp if it was a go or he had to change tactics. Madi looked adorable right now, and Lexa imagined her with a face full of chocolate smores, and decided she wanted to actually take her daughter camping, and hopefully she would now have the time to do so. She had made Clarke a promise and planned to stick to it.

Chapter Text

All of the pregnancy tests had different indicators. She had learned that last time, but decided to take the ones she had taken before. That way she wouldn’t be pulling out the papers, and trying to figure out if she was pregnant, when she had this gut feeling that she was.

Madi’s party was larger than it had ever been, and there were more kids her age, than there had been at her other parties. Clarke had invited all of her friends, and they arrived, and brought gifts for her daughter. Madi had this large gift table, and an envelope box that they had to get through because she didn’t want her daughter to open them later and not thank the people who gave her the gift.

Since her daughter was in a cake coma, it was easy for her to take her onto her lap. Too much sun, and even large doses of sugar can’t keep you going. So she thought it was the perfect time to get it done, and had Lexa bring over a chair for Madi to sit on, and they passed out her presents.

A stack of books from her mom and dad, which was typical. They did the same for her when she was that age, and she didn’t want them to change it. Madi loved being read to, and was starting to read more herself.

“Thank you Gussy!” Madi held up a basketball.

Anya quickly grabbed a box and brought it over. “Goes with this,” the Alpha explained and Madi tore into the gift revealing a basketball net.

Surprisingly the Woods didn’t go all out and she was so appreciative of that. Her daughter didn’t need thousands of dollars spent on her, and frankly with the way she was treating Lexa she didn’t deserve it.

Clarke disagreed with Lexa’s attempt at buying Madi’s love. But… It worked. Her mate went last, handing her the smaller gifts, and then the helmet before taking her and everyone else to the garage so that Madi could pull the sheet off of the go-cart. Madi stepped on the pedal and burned rubber crashing into Lexa’s charger.

“I thought you said it could only go 5 miles per hour,” Clarke said, running towards her daughter, but shooting her mate a death glare.

“Clarke it didn’t go that fast, when I tested it, and I turned it down.” Lexa ran after her towards Madi who did the classic stuntman thumbs up, but her new go karts front end was mangled.

Raven came up as well and she noticed Anya nudge her, and the Alpha’s pheromones told her she was rather annoyed. “It’s not Lexa’s fault. I… umm… I.”

“Spit it out,” Clarke growled, feeling angry at her friend, for clearly endangering her daughter's life.

Madi now clung to Lexa, who was checking her over to make sure that nothing was broken. There was a scratch on her leg that was bleeding, and her Alpha mate was getting blood on her shorts, as she glared at Raven looking for an explanation.

“Look, Anya could walk faster than me, when I tried it out, so I just tweaked it a little.” Raven explained.

Lexa stood up beside her. “Well now you can fix it,” Lexa growled and pumped out her scent until Anya had the good sense to pull Raven back, and the siblings had this intense stare off pumping out protective pheromones around them, until Clarke pulled her and Madi into the house to patch up her daughters leg.

“Lexa has one more surprise for you baby,” Clarke said as she cleaned up her leg.

Her mate hovered over them, and Madi grabbed one of the sticks she had used. “Oh. Don’t touch that,” Lexa said gently, pulling it from Madi’s hands.

“Why do you have sticks on your sink Lexa?” Madi asked, and as Lexa hunted for an explanation her daughter picked a brilliant time to be able to read, and understand the photos baby test?” Madi’s eyes went wide with excitement and she had a little gasp of realization.

This wasn’t exactly how they had planned to find out, but Madi seemed super invested and needed a distraction so she handed her the paper. “Why don’t you and Lexa see if the lines match up?” Clarke suggested, and then point ointment all over each bandaid so she wouldn’t have to apply it directly to the wound.

From Lexa’s smell she figured it out. “What about this one?” Lexa asked Madi, and Madi and her found the paperwork, and her daughter's giddiness made it hard to bandage her leg, but she finally finished.

“So? Is mommy pregnant?” Clarke asked her daughter.

Madi hopped off the counter, and raced out of the room before her and Lexa could stop her. Lexa stepped towards her, and held her hips and kissed her tenderly, and when Madi screamed. “I’m going to be a sister!” repeatedly at the top of her lungs running through the house, they laughed, into their next kiss. It was a perfect moment.

Not exactly the way she wanted her daughter's party to go, when she envisioned it, but Madi was over the moon, and apparently that was the best birthday gift. The fireworks Lexa had organized were impressive, and the kids loved the Poke balls.

Her parents were opposite on how they were feeling. Her father was happy for them, her mother looked ready to chop Lexa’s dick off because her opinion was that she was still too young… Her aunt's comment gave Lexa a nightmare.

“Mmmm,” her aunt raked her eyes over Lexa and did this rawr thing with her hands, and her taloned nails touched her mates exposed abs, because Lexa often liked to not wear shirts, and she liked looking at her body, but her aunt touched her mate, looked her up and down. “Viral,” she said seductively and giggled.

Mortified was an accurate word to describe her father, and soon he ushered both his sister, and wife out the door. Lexa started to kick people out at 10, most of the kids had gone to bed, and only Anya, Raven, Jenson, and Kelsey were still up. Octavia and Lincoln had left after Madi opened their gifts, because they had another party to head to, but she had a message from O on her phone congratulating both her and Lexa.

Jensen and Kelsey left the following evening, and they had a big talk with Madi about the commercial. Lexa and Madi were finally speaking, and her daughter seemed excited at the prospect of her first foray in front of a camera. It helped that she knew Knapp and was comfortable with him.

When they landed in Las Vegas, they were picked up by a driver in a Mercedes, and driven from Nevada into Arizona. When Madi caught sight of their surroundings she started to press her face to the glass, and Clarke snatched a photo of Lexa and Madi glued to their windows looking at their surroundings.

She had packed light. They were only supposed to be gone for a couple of days, but the weather changed pretty quickly overnight and Clarke wanted a couple of spare outfits for herself and Madi.

Lexa wasn’t into flannel but she liked a good button up, and Clarke found her a plain black v neck, and a tight pair of jeans that she liked on her. Lexa’s combat boots wouldn’t do, and since her mate had time off they did a little shopping before jumping on the plane.

Commercial shoots were never really her thing, but she was impressed. Madi was given this perfect little Mercedes G class replica to boot around in, and she was so grateful because it took awhile for her and Lexa to go through hair and make up. As her daughter drove around in it, she got this idea, and then approached Knapp who was walking around the fire arranging things to get the perfect shot.

“Yes,” he said and nodded his head. “I like this.” He said, and Clarke could see that he actually did enjoy her idea, because he pulled out a notebook and started to jot down ideas and then he was on his phone.

It was still warm out, and Lexa was with the camera crews shooting near the edge, getting some images for a magazine spread. Her Alpha had negotiated her pay at 1 million per commercial, and she thought that was a lot of money for a simple shoot. Madi on the other hand would be making $10,000… Which was really good for her first gig, and would go straight to her college fund.

Making decisions was easy with Lexa. There was rarely something they didn’t agree on. She was great with Madi, and now that they were getting along again, she wasn’t as stressed out as she was before.

The commercial was easy to shoot. A couple cameras were in the vehicle, they moved over the car seat that they had brought for Madi, and then Lexa drove them around. It was scenic, and breathtaking.

Lexa would have to do voice over, like a lot of actors did for commercials, so the work wasn’t done yet. But it was easier for her to act natural than it was for Madi. Madi started to point things out and ask questions, and Lexa in turn pointed things out to Madi, and they kept driving back and forth down the road until the sun started to set.

“Okay. I think we got enough footage. Everyone grab something to eat, and I want someone to start roasting the marshmallows.” Knapp ordered.

Clarke could tell he wanted to get it done in one day. It would make everyone's lives easier if he did. Lexa needed to be in San Francisco in a week, and wanted both her and Madi with her.

Her Alpha was being a tad clingy, but she was also dreading her being gone. She wanted to be with Lexa, and she wanted to make sure Josephine knew to back the hell off. She had done a little doom scrolling on her account and the Jo Juice account and the woman had multiple pictures of her mate likely to drum up sales, and gain followers, and she hated her for it.

It may have been a set, but she asked one of the guys roasting marshmallows to get a photo of them as a family. She sat on Lexa’s lap, and the Alpha sat on a rock, her daughter leaned against the rock and Lexa’s leg, and looked up at the two of them. It was perfect… And she posted it, because Lexa was hers.

Knapp got them to do a couple family activities. He even brought out a guitar for her, and then had them all lay on a blanket to look up at the stars as they came out, and her daughter was loving it. She wasn’t camera shy, and Lexa told her to just pretend they were spending time together, and the Alpha pointed out constellations to her.

The EV was in the background. A couple times Knapp had Lexa go into the vehicle to grab something, like sticks to make smores, an extra blanket, and he had her get things a couple times, and made sure she used the hands free closing method. It would be up to the company's marketing team and executives what footage would be used.

Madi started to yawn, and Lexa slipped from the rock, and pulled Madi in for a snuggle as they enjoyed the fire. A couple more photos were taken. They were asked to hold their positions, which was easy for Madi to do, because she was passed out. Then Knapp called it, and they loaded back into the car they came in and were driven to some cabins.

Lexa would have been fine to camp out on the set. Her Alpha had suggested a camping trip, and she agreed, but they had to find time in their schedule. Which likely wouldn’t happen this year, and she had to see how she felt as her pregnancy progressed. But she wasn’t about to sleep on the ground, when she could sleep on a mattress.

Her Alpha helped to change her daughter, and then they showered off the smell of smoke. Lexa’s scent was always a little smokey, and she loved it. She got a little emotional washing it away, and Lexa held her and pumped out her scent filling the shower with it, and making her laugh.

It was so easy with Lexa. Of course they had their ups and downs, but they worked through them, and Clarke knew that Lexa’s love for her was real. As were her statements of taking time off of work to be there for her.

“You can squeeze in one more movie,” Clarke told her as they flew to San Francisco.

Clarke had managed to sneak in an audition for a period piece, and was surprised to know the director. Murph the Smurph… He had played a small part in Princess on the Ground and was given that nickname because of the character he played, and it just stuck. But it was either Murphy, or John. He made that very clear.

“No… I have nothing lined up. I can wait. Plus. I will have to do events with you promoting our movie, and Knapp will likely take his time clipping this movie together. So between events, and maybe a couple more commercials, I can stay busy by focusing on Grounders, or maybe help write the new script for our sequel. I will keep busy Clarke. Don’t worry about me.” Her mate gave her a reassuring smile, and pumped out her scent as she squeezed her hand.

She did worry about Lexa though. Lexa had been go go go, and even when they got together on the set of the movie, the Alpha was busy. They barely had time to date, and then she told Lexa the truth, and both of them were busy, and kept apart. What would Lexa do now that she had so much free time? She was hoping that the Alpha didn’t get restless, and regretful.

“I do though,” Clarke confessed, and told her what she felt, and once again Lexa reassured her.

During the day she explored the city with Madi. She had a brown wig on, and a ballcap just in case people recognized her. They went to the zoo one day, and spent a day near fisherman's wharf watching the wildlife. There was also this great interactive museum for kids, and Madi also wanted to spend time on set with Lexa and Raven.

Raven had apologized a lot. It was just a scrape, but both her and Lexa were sent into a panic. The woman had a lot of explosions to set off and Madi was excited as she stood beside Raven. Her daughter even got to press the button, and when Lexa brought the vehicle to a stop, she ran out and picked up her little girl.

“Did you see that Mama?!” Madi asked, and pointed to the giant plume of smoke. Lexa started to cry, and Madi gently wiped them away. “Why are you crying? Don’t cry,” Madi said and hugged her sire.

Lexa held her back and Clarke approached to get in on the family hug. This was the first time Madi had called Lexa Mama, and it would be a moment that the two of them would remember for the rest of their lives.

One of the PAs came to get Lexa, and her mate pulled it together to get back to shooting. Lexa gave her a quick kiss goodbye, and ruffled Madi’s hair before getting back inside of the vehicle.

Josephine Lightborne stared at her, and even though she wore these gold tinted aviators Clarke could tell that she was staring directly at her. So she stared right back, and placed a protective hand on her daughter, and steered her back over to where they were allowed to stand while the crew filmed.

They had to film early in the market, and not many people were out. Their characters needed to grab their outfits and dodge the people chasing them. Since they wanted to fill the street non essential crew were asked to fill in, and her and Madi were asked to be there as well. Since no cameras were near them it gave her time to just chill with Madi, and look at the things that were laid out until Knapp finally wrapped it up.

Before Lexa was done filming Murphy called her. She landed the part. They had wanted a Dolly Parton type, and she would be expected to wear more Western style clothes. Her character was married to the sheriff, friends with the Native American chief's wife, and the two of them had to stop a fight between their people caused by a bank robber who was sentenced to death at the beginning of the story.

She had Raven watch Madi that night and wore a sexy dress. Lexa only had a couple more days to film, and they would be back in LA. She had told Murphy about her pregnancy, and he was scrambling to get things together because he wanted her to play the lead.

“I got a part,” Clarke bit her lip.

Lexa lifted her up and spun her around. “You got a part,” she smiled and kissed her and set her on the bed.

“Now Woods… I have a role you can fill.”

“Don’t you mean a hole you can fill?” Lexa said with such surety she forgot where she was going, and Lexa fucked her all night taking advantage of Madi staying with Raven.

The cast and crew were all staying at the same hotel for security purposes, and Lexa had this smug look on her face. Aside from a few people, not many knew that she was pregnant. But now most of the hotel knew they weren’t shy about trying.

Lexa had tears in her eyes because the concierge had left them a couple messages about noise. People had knocked on the door, and even slipped a note under it. Also the people sharing a room next to theirs banged on the walls a couple times. They didn’t hear any of it. They were so wrapped up in each other, and Clarke knew she couldn’t be quiet in bed. Not with Lexa, and she also loved to make Lexa scream.

Her mate didn’t stay for the dinner that was set up after filming was done, because they were flying back to LA. Madi had an interview. Not their top school but the one nearest the studio had an opening. So they needed to get back home ASAP because there was only a couple more weeks until school started.

Gaia their nanny came with them. Madi adored her, and they needed the educators to be aware of their situation. There would be times where Gaia would likely pick up Madi, or drop her off, and they wanted them to be aware.

In her opinion her daughter did well during the interview. But that wasn’t just what they wanted to see. Madi had only interacted with a couple kids her age. The second part of the interview was done at a nearby park, and they observed Madi playing with other kids.

“This is so awkward,” Lexa said, digging her shoes into the ground to expel her excess energy.

Clarke laughed and tucked her arm around her mate and rested her head against her. It was awkward. All of this was awkward. Both her and Lexa didn’t have normal childhoods, and certainly didn’t attend school. Their education was very informal, so they didn’t know if this was normal or not, and she could tell that Lexa was nervous so she pumped out her scent to calm her down.

The principal approached them, as the other lady observed Madi. “You two have both presented?” The woman asked.

“Yes,” Clarke replied because it was clear that they had, especially with the way they were pumping their scents around one another.

“Interesting. As far as I am aware no other parents at our school are Alphas or Omegas. All Betas.” The woman explained.

Then Clarke realized that this… Was there in. They only had movies and internet searches to base this experience off of, and she was going to grasp and pull until Madi got in, Lexa’s comfortability be damned.

“Yes… And I am pregnant with our second child, and my Mate is taking a step back from acting to look after our baby for the first couple of years, like I did with Madi.” Clarke explained.

“Oh,” the woman looked taken aback, and looked towards Lexa. “Not many men do that, and from what I have read about Alpha’s that is not the role they would readily step into.”

Clarke pinched Lexa’s side to not make it obvious, and the Alpha thankfully didn’t scream Oww. “Madi deserves to be in school.” Lexa sounded so dumb in that moment and she turned her head up to look at her mate and gave her another pinch.

“I ummm. I think since there are only a few of us who have presented in the past hundred years, it is hard to state what is considered a normal role. I want my children to not live in a household divided by gender roles.” Lexa stated.

“We also want to spend as much time with our children as possible, and believe one of us should always be around, and available, but when we aren’t. We have Gaia,” Clarke said, bringing up the nanny again. Lexa’s family were mixed race, but she just looked well tanned, and Gaia… Well… They were also pulling the same sex couple card, so might as well throw in the woman of color nanny.

All of them piled into her SUV after the weird woman gave them a nod, and Lexa let out a sigh of relief. It was finally over. They had promised Madi sushi, so went out to lunch together at a spot that Lexa said was the best.

“That was intense,” Gaia stated. “You are two beautiful women, and both have well known last names, come from money, and they are still making you jump through hoops. Most parents just donate, and get their kids in.”

Lexa and her shared a look and her Alpha scrambled up from the table. They wanted to get this done, and Madi seemed to like the school, and the teacher that she met earlier. At this point the lack of interest from the other school turned her off.

They had discussed moving to a place with a bigger yard for Madi, and a bigger garage for Lexa’s cars, which she knew they likely would have to custom build. So space was needed. Also she wanted another room near the master, and Lexa’s house was great, but even the Alpha agreed that it would be a lot going up and down the stairs, because they would be doing that for years. Madi also had a scar on her chin from falling down the stairs one time because she was exhausted, and Clarke didn’t want that to happen again.

When they got home Madi went up to her room, Gaia said her goodbyes, and they celebrated with a glass of sparkling juice, because they had gotten Madi into school. Her daughter was excited, her mate was happy, and she was over the moon that Madi could be with people her own age. Especially in a stable environment.

Later they called all their family and told them Madi got into school. Everyone wanted to be with them when they dropped Madi off. Gussy, Jake, her mother. Even Anya, and Lincoln wanted to be there to send Madi off on the first day. Before she fell asleep that night she knew that they couldn’t say yes to any of them. It would just be Lexa, Madi, and herself. Just the way it was always supposed to be.

Chapter Text

Lexa wasn’t quite sure what to do with herself. Her mate was driving back and forth to the studio, and left her for a couple days with Madi before school was set to start.

Since her mate had already done shopping for school, she wanted to do a more official back to school shop, and the school had emailed over a list of supplies. So she packed up Madi, and Gaia hopped in the back seat with her daughter, and she was thankful for having the extra set of eyes.

Bags were given out by the school, and she expected them to be decent because tuition was $50,000. Which was a lot, but the school was secure, other high profile parents sent their kids there, and her daughter's privacy and safety she couldn’t put a price on.

She wasn’t one of those celebs that stopped to take photos with people. Her time was her time, and she made that known early on in her career. Still she had people ask her for photos when she went out if she was recognized, which happened often.

“Lexa. Lexa Woods. Can I get a photo?” A woman asked when she was looking for hair clips for her daughter.

A part of her hated this, but she couldn’t make an exception or else everyone would want a photo. Also the whole Lexas Wood account. It would just irk her wondering if whoever she took a photo with would post a pic to that account or tag it to appear there, because the commander had her own hashtag.

“Sorry. I am here with my daughter. Thank you for having the decency to ask, and I hope you have a good day,” she said, being as proper as possible before grabbing her daughter and steering her out of the store before they could pick out any hair clips. They could just order them on the internet now anyway.

Shopping was so hard. She had a day of it with Clarke and they were recognized, and then followed around, until she decided to call it a day. Her Omega wasn’t upset with her. Clarke instead joked about wondering when she was going to call it a day.

A couple times in her career her father had told her to hire a bodyguard. She would consider hiring one for Clarke. She was all over her mate, and pulled her close to her, and almost picked her up and ran them away from the cameras. But… That would just be a story, instead of Lexa Woods and Clarke Griffin seen shopping together.

The plan was to announce their mating, at the premiere of their movie. Clarke would clearly be pregnant. She would wear something to show off her mating mark, Clarke would wear her hair up instead of down, and they would address Madi as well. Then they would meet with good morning america, or some other talk show, and set the record straight.

She had never been on a talk show. She had been asked to appear multiple times. Her agent kinda hated her because she turned down a lot of press. Which most people would consider bad, but she didn’t have social media, and didn’t watch talk shows, and focused more on healthy eating, healthy living. Talk shows felt toxic to her.

Clarke was ready to get back to work. She was excited, and Lexa was excited for her. Murder in the Mountains had aired this summer, and the showrunners had reached out to her, to get her back on an episode.

Lexa knew this would happen. Her mate was great. Absolutely amazing, and she knocked it out of the park… Cupcake Killer was the name of her episode, and Clarke played a baker who murdered the woman her husband was seeing behind her back. It was quite a good episode, even, she couldn’t predict how Clarke’s character managed to commit the murder.

Time flew by. Madi was set to start her first day of school and she couldn’t sleep. She worked out in the gym, and when she came upstairs Clarke had breakfast made. Lexa had to eat quickly because Madi wanted to leave, and Clarke told her to shower.

She threw on a pair of dress pants, and a shirt that Clarke had laid out for her. Parents would be allowed to stay for the first hour. All the kids would introduce themselves to one another, and then they would be asked to leave.

When they arrived at the school she reached out to grab Clarkes hand because she felt nervous. Madi didn’t want to hold either of their hands, and walked eagerly ahead of them. She found her cubby, pointed to her backpack, and then found the seat with her name on it and sat down.

“She gets that from you,” Clarke pointed to their daughter who was swinging her legs.

Lexa fidgeted a lot. She was a foot shaker, taper, she ground her heels and toes into the ground. Basically she had ADD and couldn’t sit still. Madi had good posture but her legs were swinging, back and forth as she waited for class to begin.

“My name is Madi Griffin,” her daughter said when it was her turn and Lexa wanted to frown, but stayed focused, and ground her toes into the floor. Madi had Clarke’s last name. Of course she did. But hearing it in this room full of parents, she felt like a failure.

Omega pheromones filled the hair, and Clarke gave her hand a squeeze, and gestured for her to keep paying attention to their daughter. Basically Clarke was telling her to get out of her own head, and they would talk about it later.

“That is my mommy, her name is Clarke, and that is my sire, her name is Lexa, and I want to be an actor like my parents when I grow up.” Madi stated and her heart felt so full seeing Madi smile and everyone clap for her, when she went back to take her seat.

When it came time to leave she was the last out of the room. Her daughter was making shoo hands at her, and the teacher was glaring, but Lexa didn’t care. She wanted to stay as long as possible and waved goodbye to her daughter and the rest of the class.

“I thought I was going to have to drag you out of there.” Clarke explained and led her out of the school.

Her dad, Clarke’s parents, and her siblings and their girlfriends were all there waiting for them when they got out. “What are you guys doing here?” Lexa asked.

“I got here first,” Her father grumbled and crossed his arms. His bike was parked on the grass, and there was a guy in a neon vest that did not look happy about it.

Jake spoke up next. “The first day is always hard on new parents. We just wanted to be here,” he said and his wife nodded along. Then Abby added, “For you.”

“I thought we were going to get pics outside of the school. That’s what Raven said happened on her first day of school.” Anya shrugged, and looked a little bored.

Octavia spoke for Lincoln. Her brother wasn’t much of a talker, and he didn’t seem to mind Octavia speaking up for him. “Gustus texted that he was coming over, and I thought we could all get breakfast.”

“Brunch,” Lincoln amended.

At least her brother and Octavia had been logical… They could have just messaged them and said hey we are out to brunch join us… But Clarke and her had plans, and now they would likely not get to spend the morning ravaging each other.

“No. Uh uh. Not buying it. You want to ask Madi how her first day of school went. You can all show up to our place tonight at 5. Not any earlier, because we want Madi to get into a routine of doing homework before dinner. You can all go out to breakfast, but Lexa and I have other plans.” Clarke said firmly and her father literally stomped off to his bike, revved the engine too loudly and the school gave them a warning.

Clarke drove them back to the house, and Lexa thought about Madi. Madi Griffin… Not Madi Woods. Then her mind went to what last name her other child would have, and she felt depressed.

The Omega put the car in park, and Lexa followed her into the house. “You need to stop. Tell me what’s going on.” Clarke demanded.

“Madi Griffin… I, Clarke… She’s my kid. She should have my last name.”

“And I am your mate, not your wife. Kinda predates last names,” Clarke tried to be playful, but she was in a funk and it wasn’t helping her.

“I think I need to go to the gym,” Lexa sighed because she didn’t want to have sex. She was too depressed, and Clarke was trying to be happy and upbeat and she just couldn’t be on that level. Not yet.

Clarke shrugged, and just let her go. She had already worked out downstairs, and didn’t want to go back down there, and sometimes a drive helped to clear her head so she went to her gym.

Josephine was there working out. The woman stopped what she was doing and came over to say hi to her. No wasn’t a word Josephine had likely heard often in her life. Lexa went to a machine, after saying she only had a short time to work out.

“Short workout?” Josephine quirked a brow at her, and pointed at her watch. “That was intense Woods, and I mean that in a good way. I bet you worked up quite an appetite, want to get something to eat?”

“No. I have to get home. My daughter just started her first day of school.”

The woman rested a hand on her arm. “I think it is so cute how you care for her. How very Alpha like.”

“I love my mate and Madi more than anything in this world, Josephine. I hope you find someone who feels the same way about you. I gotta go,” Lexa said brushing past her and into the showers.

No means no… Madi knew that. Josephine just didn’t give up. She handed her a fucking Jo Juice, and Lexa took it because she was thirsty. “Friends,” Lexa said, lifting the drink up to say thank you as well as set a boundary.

“We are a little more than friends. We are co stars silly. Speaking of, do you have another project in the works? I have 3 scripts to read through and another movie that starts filming in a couple months.”

“No. My mate is pregnant and I plan on staying at home with the baby. I also filmed a couple movies this year, and a TV commercial. So I may have to head back to the studio. But I wish to take time off to care for my pup.” Lexa explained walking out of the gym.

They were bombarded by paparazzi. God she hated them. She pushed through to the parking lot and put the glass bottle in her backpack before starting the engine to her bike. Josephine screamed, and she cursed whatever god was trying to punish her today of all days, because she was still depressed, and didn’t want to be around Josephine at all.

Lexa got off of her bike leaving her bag, and pushed through people with cameras until she got to Josephine who had fallen over. Heels were terrible. Anya wore them. She never bothered, but she knew from walking beside people wearing them, grates were the enemy, and Josephine had rolled her ankle.

“Can you get up?” Lexa asked. Josephine shook her head. “When someone is injured you should help them instead of trying to make a quick buck,” Lexa growled and let out all of her anger and frustration. She pushed out her scent until reporters were stumbling backwards.

“It hurts,” Josephine whined and grabbed her right ankle.

“Where is your car?” Lexa looked around for the shiny blue Mercedes, and spotted it parked a couple feet away.

Josephine couldn’t walk, and the reporters didn’t want to back off. She lifted her up and carried her to her car, and the woman was full of tears. “I don’t think I can drive,” Josephine cried, and tried to stretch out her right ankle.

Fuck.. This day was terrible. “Move over. I can drive you home.”

“I think I need to go to the hospital. Get an x-ray. Find out when I can get back to work.”

“Sure,” Lexa said, starting the car, and driving her to the nearest hospital. Josephine forgot her bag in the car, and needed it. So Lexa was sent back out to get it, and then Josephine wasn’t there and she was standing around holding her damn bag, and the nurse was demanding her attention.

“I need her care number.” The nurse said.

Great… How the fuck was she supposed to know where it was. “Ummm it’s in here. I actually need to get going,” Lexa said looking at the time. It was nearly 2, school let out at 330. But she needed to get home, and then drive with Clarke to the school, which meant she needed to leave soon.

“Well you're not leaving that bag with me,” the woman sassed, and Lexa knew she would get bitched out if she just left. She reached into her pocket, but her phone wasn’t there, and neither was her wallet. She had left it on her bike. Fuck.

“Can I use your phone?” Lexa asked a nicer looking nurse, and she got the phone ready to dial out and she called the gym so that they could grab her bag for her, if it wasn’t already stolen. Then she politely asked for another phone call.

“We aren’t a jail honey, but we can’t have you hogging up the line, so make it quick.” The nicer nurse said to her, and helped her dial the number she memorized during two agonizing months without Clarke.

She was relieved when her mate picked up on the first ring. “Hello.”

“Clarke,” Lexa breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oh my god, are you okay. What happened? I’ll be right there,” Clarke hung up the phone before she could even explain anything to her.

Josephine was walked out in a cast and crutches. Lexa approached and put her bag on the counter for her. “I didn’t want to go through your things. They still need your insurance,” Lexa explained. The woman looked high, and for once wasn’t talking very much, but Lexa clearly couldn’t let her drive in that condition.

“Hey, Lexa,” the doctor said. “Your friend has a fracture. Cast needs to be on for 8 weeks.”

Great… Lexa mumbled thanks and then hobbled with Josephine to her car. “Clarke is on her way. You can’t drive. I am also convinced heels are death traps.”

“You should do the whole Walk a Mile thing.”

“What are you talking about? Those drugs they gave you look pretty strong.”

“It’s all about equality Lexa. You may be an Alpha, but you were born a woman before you presented. And well. We women who like to wear heels and look good are often stereotyped, objectified, cat called, and well I know many have tried to push their way into my pants… but not you. Kinda makes me want you more, but you had to invite your mate to the party.” Josephine swayed and Lexa put her in the passenger seat of her car.

“That is because I am not interested, and my mate deserves to know where I am.”

“The whole world knows where you are Lexa. At all times. I mean you visited the mall the other day, you were just at the gym and swarmed by cameras. I posted a pic of my cast, and a picture of the cast, but said you were my favorite cast mate. People post things. People say things.”

“Which is why I don’t have social media. I don’t want people knowing what I eat for breakfast, or what my muscles look like in a mirror. It’s invasive.”

Josephine pulled out her phone, and brought up the charity page, and she actually read through it, and it made sense reading it. Josephine's original explanation and segue were terrible, but she hadn’t really done a charity event ever.

“Girls like me. Girls like Clarke, as much as I loath you have a mate you have one and she is one lucky bitch, but you don’t get it. We need to look good, we need to keep up appearances, and we need to have sex appeal. And that puts a target on our backs. On all women's backs. You Lexa Woods are not some Alpha predator, and people want to be like you.”

“So what. I don’t think they should be like me at all. They should just be like themselves.”

“True… But some people just don’t know better. They see something and they do it. They don’t have strong moral values, and well… We suffer. Don’t you know anyone in this industry who has been taken advantage of? My dad is who he is, and on the first set of my first film the director pulled me aside and pulled out his dick and threatened to re cast me.”

“WHAT!” Lexa had no idea. Bellamy had tried to roofie her mate… God did anything like this happen to Clarke?

“Yup,” Josephine popped the p of yup, and twirled her hair around her finger. “Which is why someone like you, who people worship as this gym shark, macho Alpha, should do a walk. I would sponsor you. We could promote the movie? Get costumes to readjust our clothes from the poster, do a gender swap. Think of all the money you could raise for women Lexa, but more than that. Think of all the women you are saving because you are showing men how to reframe themselves, and that sexualized violence isn’t cool.”

“I know a couple men who love to wear heels, and they can’t fit into any frame,” Lexa grumbled thinking of a couple drag queens she had done a movie with a couple years ago.

“So you will do the charity with me?” Josephine pouted and stuck out her leg. “I have nothing to do. I can organize it, promote it on socials, set you up a fundraising page. All you have to do is walk.”

Fucking hell. Why did Josephine have to make so much sense? From a business standpoint it was creative marketing for their movie. Likely would get them a spot in a local paper. Then there was also the money raised, and people she could inspire to change. Fucking damn it. Josephine Lightborne had actually presented her with a genius idea.

A Mercedes screeched to a halt behind them and Clarke didn’t need to roll down the window. Her mate was pissed the fuck off. Her mate put the vehicle in reverse, and drove to them and rolled down the window.

“Hey Clarkey! I fractured my ankle, and Lexa and I are doing a charity walk,” Josephine waved looking so fucking drunk.

Lexa walked over to her mate. “Josephine is getting a little ahead of herself,” she smiled at the woman, and then turned to Clarke. “This isn’t what it looks like.”

Clarke pulled out her phone and showed her images of herself picking up Josephine and carrying her into the car. A news article had already been fucking released online. What the hell.

“So you didn’t pick up Josephine and carry her to her car, and drive her to the hospital. Where is your phone?”

“In my gym bag. Look she was there when I got there. I worked out. I lifted my weights I ran, and I thought long and hard about things, so I could not feel so fucking depressed Clarke, because when Madi said Griffin. It hurt. Everyone in that room knew I wasn’t good enough,” Lexa’s voice broke, and she started to cry.

“They knew that I wasn’t around or a supportive parent. I am trying to change that, but it hurt, and I started to spiral wondering if our baby would have your last name or my last name. I just didn’t want to turn it into a fight, and it know it is super Alpha and possessive, but I want them to be mine. I want you to be mine.”

Josephine had fucking heard everything she just said, and Lexa flinched at hearing her voice. “That is a shitty ass proposal.”

Clarke actually seemed to agree, and then reached across the seat to pull over some papers. “Sign here, and here. I put sticky tabs where you have to sign.”

“What am I signing?” Lexa asked.

“Just do as you're told,” Clarke growled and pumped out threatening pheromones, and Lexa grabbed the pen Clarke was holding and signed each and every sheet, before handing them back to her Omega. “Good. Now you have officially adopted Madi, the name change process will be a little easier, but Madi has a say Lexa. You can’t Alpha out on our daughter. We both come from acting families and I am my dads only child,”

“So Griffin Woods?” Lexa asked, hoping that Clarke would say yes.

“Passports, and all legal documents sure. But I am not changing my stage name. Can you imagine the movie poster… Clarke Griffin-Woods, Lexa Griffin-Woods…. I love you, but that will just look terrible. Especially when you add your producer credits. My producer credits, because believe me, now that I know you run Grounders, I am making a high list of demands if you want me in the sequel. As Mrs Woods I think I can get away with it.”

Oh my god… Clarke was taking her last name. Fuck yea! Lexa jumped up in the air and raised her fist. Lexa’s watch went off letting her know it was 3 o clock. Shit they needed to go. “We have to go.”

“What do we do with her? She looks about ready to fall asleep.” Clarke gestured to Josephine.

Lexa looked around. “Her car should be safe here,” she said and then approached Josephine, and helped bring her over to Clarke’s SUV. She had to go back to get her purse, and then locked the vehicle before getting into the passenger seat beside Clarke.

“What the hell do you have in your bag, No wonder you fell,” Lexa said, putting it in the backseat in between Josephine and Madi’s car seat.

“Jo Juice,” Josephine smiled and pulled out a couple bottles to show her and Lexa snagged one because she was fucking thirsty.

Clarke grabbed it and tried a sip, and she could see that Clarke was tempted to spit it out. “That's… Healthy,” her mate said for lack of a better word.

When they arrived at the school she was up and out of the car and racing over to her daughter, who was searching for her, beside a couple of the other kids her age. “MAMA!” Madi screamed when she saw her and Lexa lifted her up and carried her over to the car.

Clarke was outside of it, and her mate reached for Madi and they shared a family hug, and asked Madi about her first day, and her daughter spoke so much that they were holding up a line that they didn’t know about and had to quickly buckle her in.

Madi poked at Josephine on the way back to their house. Lexa didn’t bother to tell her to stop. Josephine had bugged her earlier, and now she was stuck with her, because she didn’t know where she lived, and she didn’t want her driving off. Clarke had suggested letting her stay the night, and when she told her mate more about the charity stuff she was actually surprised that Clarke thought it was a good idea.

“I’m going to be Mrs Woods. I am not signing a prenup and neither are you, if you want me to take your last name.”

Not a problem. She would give Clarke all the money in the world. There was no way they were divorcing. Mates stuck together for life, and sometimes. When they had been together long enough their souls departed at the same time.

It was why the word soulmate fit Clarke so aptly. They had worked together so well when they were kids, and now as adults. Their relationship as co stars, and co parents was by far the most fulfilling and she needed no more proof. Clarke Griffin, was her soulmate, and soon she would be Clarke Woods, but she needed to ask her first, and then follow a couple more steps.

All the family came back over for dinner. Clarke had been busy while she was gone. Lasagna was delicious, as was the salad, and garlic bread. Her mate was super incredible, and she did the right thing after dinner. Though they moved a few steps ahead, she asked Jake for his blessing.

Chapter Text

Clarke couldn't believe she was 2 months pregnant. More projects had arrived for her to work on, than before, and she was busy. So much so that Lexa often stopped by the studio to have lunch with her, and that was the only time they got to spend together.

With Halloween coming up at the end of the month she had something to look forward to. Murphy had cast his girlfriend opposite her, and Emori made the argument that they all should have a couple days off around halloween. When Clarke tried it didn’t work… Emori had got him to agree to letting them have from the 32st to the 2nd off just in case.

They had yet to begin shooting, but the film was rather low budget and an all hands on deck situation. Murphy was also filming in Black and White. Which she thought was pretty cool, and wanted to be a part of because no one filmed in black and white anymore. Everything was all about color.

Josephine Lightborne had not exactly gotten herself in her good graces, but she tolerated her. Lexa was kept busy which she found important, and Josephine made her a donation page. Her Alpha was in compression shorts, and a bra looking hella fit, her body was full of sweat and it was click bait. Even she had donated, and the walk wasn’t set to begin for another 3 months.

“Hey baby,” Lexa greeted her when she got home and she was wearing oven mitts and a kiss the chef apron.

Clarke kissed her mate, and told her all about her day. Lexa was excited for her to have halloween off. Her mate was handling costumes. Lexa had taken being a stay at home parent rather seriously and had already attended one school outing, and the school was set to have one once a month and Lexa had signed up for all of them.

According to Gaia the sign up list was now full of thirsty mothers. The teacher had become friends with her nanny and now Clarke got all the gossip. The sign up sheet was normally empty and it was hard to get parents to sign up. The teacher asked Lexa, and Madi asked so she signed up, and the next week it was full.

And that sexy piece of Alpha was all hers.

“Clothes off,” Clarke ordered.

“In the kitchen?” Lexa asked.

“Yes. Madi should be passed out right now, and I need you baby,” Clarke confessed. Seeing those rippling Alpha muscles and watching Lexa do such domestic acts had her Omega purring for attention.

Lexa took off the apron and Clarke quickly stripped out of her pants. Her Alpha mate turned her around and Clarke leaned over the counter not caring about how dirty her top was getting. Lexa’s tongue prodded her folds, tasting her wetness, and Clarke felt her hard cock against her leg.

“Lexa,” Clarke moaned and hoped that she was pushing out an enticing enough smell for her mate to start fucking her, but it appeared she had to beg. “Alpha please.”

The massive cock the Alpha had was brought to her cunt, and Lexa tapped it against it a few times and she groaned. All the fucking teasing, when she just wanted a good dicking.

“Patience,” Lexa said and tapped her cock against her clit and ran it through her folds coating it with her slick.

Clarke pushed her hips back begging, and then a timer went off and Lexa pulled away. Clarke turned her head to look at what Lexa was doing, and the Alpha pulled out cookie sheets, and then placed some more in the oven to bake. The smell was amazing, but she didn’t want cookies right now.

“Alpha,” Clarke groaned. Lexa took off her oven mitts set a timer, and Clarke realized that they had exactly 7 minutes to fuck. Seriously… “Now!” She growled.

“So demanding,” Lexa smiled and enjoyed teasing her.

“Lexa I am about ready to go upstairs, lock the door, and get myself off.”

Her Alpha lined up to her cunt and she bit her lip. Yup. That was exactly what she needed. Lexa pulled on her hip and her shoulder to pull her back into her body, and to keep from bruising her hips as she put in a good workout.

“That’s it Alpha. So good. So fucking good,” Clarke praised.

“Yeah baby? You miss my dick?”

“What do you think?” Clarke asked, fluttering her walls and biting her lip as she looked at the Alpha. She pushed out her neediest pheromones and Lexa started to growl and grunt. She loved driving her into a frenzy.

“I think,” Lexa paused and then slapped her ass and Clarke let out a filthy moan. “That this cunt is mine. This ass,” Lexa said, spanking her again. “Is mine.”

“Yours all yours Alpha,” Clarke moaned and pushed back her hips begging Lexa to continue.

Lexa leaned over her body and sucked a mark on her back as she thrusted into her, and Clarke was close, she just needed Lexa to cum with her. She wanted her mate to cum with her.

“The things you do to me baby. I only want you. My dick is all yours.”

“Cum Lexa,” Clarke begged. “I want your cum.”

Her mate grabbed her hips and thrust harder and harder, and when Lexa released herself inside of her, she couldn’t hold back anymore. “OOOooooooooooo!” She moaned and held onto the counter, as she came for support before crossing her arms.

Muscles draped over her own softer flesh trapping her in between the table and she could only take it for a couple minutes. She needed to breathe properly for her baby's sake, and Lexa was cutting off all oxygen.

“I hate this part,” Lexa grumbled as she pulled out.

The timer for the cookies went off and her mate pulled them out of the oven before offering her a plate of the ones she already baked. Then Lexa quickly brought her to the room and started a bath.

She didn’t expect her mate to join her, but was happy she did, because Lexa brought more cookies, and a giant glass of water for her. Then Lexa massaged her fucking feet and she moaned louder than she had in the kitchen. She applied the perfect pressure, and it was so good she didn’t want to walk on her feet to the bed, and Lexa carried her.

Her mate joined her in bed, but was gone by the time she woke up. Madi’s school was having a bake sale. Not that they needed to raise money, with their exuberant prices, and Lexa’s hefty donations, but it gave the kids a chance to have sugar, and pretend they weren’t super prestigious.

There was no time for her to stop by and check it out. She had to leave for work, she was already late, because her mate had changed her alarm, and said she didn’t need to do her hair or make up before arriving to hair and make up…

Murphy was really going for classic style cinematography and Lexa was super interested. It was hard to work when her Alpha was watching her. It was easier to work with her. Knowing that Lexa was there it was likely lunch time, or a little past. She lost so much track of time when she was in character.

“Cut. Break for lunch.” Murphy announced.

Lexa brought her a smoothie, as well as a sandwich. Her cravings weren’t really there but she was definitely having symptoms. “Lex I don’t think I can eat anymore,” she said, warning her mate as she looked to see where the nearest washroom was.

“Just another bite baby,” Lexa encouraged and pushed her food towards her, and Clarke smelt the sandwich. Normally she liked her turkey and brie… Today, it was not happening. Her nose spoke to her stomach, and her stomach vomited its contents right onto Lexa’s shoes.

“I’m so sorry,” Clarke said before having the urge to vomit again.

“SOMEONE GET MRS WOODS A BUCKET!!” Lexa shouted, and pumped out her scent comforting her.

Her mate soothed her with her hands, her scent, her words. Lexa was so nice about it. Really she had nothing to compare it to. She married Finn quickly, discovered he wasn’t stable, and she already regretted it so divorce was an easy step, and he was pissed about that. But she had made the wrong decision and she was glad she realized it quickly, so that Madi had zero attachment to him.

Someone brought her a pumpkin that was in the middle of being carved, and she supposed that was less obvious than a bucket. Easier to hide on set, so Murphy allowed it, and everywhere they filmed there was a pumpkin that she could throw up in if she felt the need to puke.

Lexa never brought her that sandwich again, and she was grateful. Just thinking about it made her feel nauseous. She was never like this with Madi, though it was perfectly normal.

Even though her mother was a doctor, she didn’t want her to be her doctor, and they had to make appointments. Lexa wanted to know the gender, and Clarke decided to host a gender reveal party instead of a birthday party. Happy 26th to her. Most of her friends didn’t even have kids and she was on her second, and likely wouldn’t stop at just two.

When the 31st came around she was exhausted. Lexa let her sleep in and took Madi to school. Her daughter wanted to be a witch… Lexa had asked Jake where her aunt Paige got her clothes, and her dad nearly had a heart attack. He laughed so much. Even her mother cracked a smile.

They were going out in her parents' neighborhood. Lexa’s was gated, and the parents just put bowls at the end of the road which was no fun at all. So everyone was meeting at her parents. Gustus, Anya, Lincoln, Raven. Emori wanted to tag along, so that meant Murphy would be there as well.

Her day was busy. Well Madi’s day was busy. All she had to do was get ready. First they had studio halloween. Props had been set up, and there was a small haunted house for them to go through. Gustus had started it for his kids, and it had kept going, and Lexa wanted to take Madi.

Normally she couldn’t say no to her Alpha, but she was wondering what the hell was up with her costume. Lexa had got her size from Luna, and really it was gaudy. She was expecting something sexy, but not too sexy because they were going to places with kids.

As she pieced together the outfit she realized she was a construction worker. Well the hats on the kitchen table gave it away. The clothes were comfortable. A little too warm, she would probably appreciate it if they lived in a cooler climate. Though it did get colder at night, she wasn’t sure if she needed so many lawyers, but she would play along, just to see what Lexa had picked out.

Lexa returned home after lunch. The Alpha had gone to the studio and helped set up, then she went back to Madi’s school to watch her in the halloween walk, and she showed Clarke a video. Madi waved at Lexa, and her little girl was holding the hand of another girl and looked super happy. The other girl was also a witch.

It was strange to her. Not knowing everything about her daughter. Normally she knew everything that went on in her day. Lexa filled her in here and there, but Madi had made a friend, and she didn’t even know the friend's name.

“I brought you a Big Mac extra pickles,” Lexa said, bringing her a bag of delicious fast food.

Clarke smiled. “Good. I am trying to really get into character, and this fits,” she said, stretching out over the couch. Her mate laughed as she spread her legs, smacked her lips and undid the button on her pants.

Her mate watched her eat, and then once she was done she picked up her garbage and threw everything out. It was so sweet. Lexa took such good care of her.

“I’m glad you like the costume, but we aren’t done with you yet,” Lexa teased and pulled her up to sit with her at the kitchen table.

Clarke helped the Alpha cut strings of caution tape, while Lexa taped them to the helmet. When the Alpha was done she put the hard hat on her head, and seemed proud of her work.

“Anything else? What are you going to wear? I thought you got us matching costumes.”

“I did,” Her mate smiled, and then disappeared into their bedroom to get dressed.

Lexa wore the same shoes as her, but the shorts were ripped and frayed before the knee. Her shirt was a wife beater, and she had a safety vest on. Her mate looked sexy. So fucking sexy.

“We don’t have time,” Lexa growled and adjusted herself.

“We could make time?” Clarke suggested.

“No. I have to go pick up candy, and then we have to get Madi, and go to the studio.”

“Why didn’t you get candy this week?” Clarke pouted because she hadn’t seen any around the house in a couple days.

Her mate rummaged in the cupboards, and pulled out a couple half eaten bags, that she may or may not have opened because she had a craving. Lexa dumped the contents into a bowl and held up the 5 empty bags for her to inspect, and the tiny amount of candy in the bowl compared to the size of the bags.

“I got candy every other day for a week, and it went missing. I thought it was Madi, but from the look on your face, I think I have found the guilty culprit.”

Clarke looked away, and then up in the cupboard full of Lexa’s supplements. “So is that your hiding spot?”

“You are the kid who went searching for their presents before christmas aren’t you?” Lexa asked.

She shrugged. She wouldn’t confirm or deny it. But she was the kid who always found her gifts before christmas. Lexa had her hands full. She just didn’t know it yet, Madi would be leaving all the cupboards open during the month of december.

“Clarke I love you baby, but this candy is enough to keep the wolves from egging the gates, and throwing toilet paper over the walls.”

Ugh. She didn’t want to leave yet. How was she supposed to make it through a whole day of Lexa looking hella fine. She felt bloated, and gross, but she put her hard hat on, and Lexa helped her into the high vis vest.

Lexa went into the store and came back with 6 shopping bags full of candy. “You can have any extras. I promise. I will ask dads secretary to bring the candy right to your trailer once all the kids are done picking at it.”

“I don’t have a trailer.”

“You do now. I want you to have a place where you can nap, and throw up, and now you don’t have to walk 10 minutes to go to the washroom. It’s right there. But you can thank dad. He heard you were sick and he had his guys haul it over, and Murphy couldn’t say a thing. I like the guy, but he is super intense.”

“That’s one way of putting it,” Clarke smiled at her mate.

Her little witch looked adorable, and Lexa kept her close to her. “Some of these mothers have been taking lessons from your aunt. Stay close,” Lexa ordered.

The mothers of course weren’t looking at Lexa’s eyes. Clarke wasn’t sure if her mate was aware that there were only a couple outfits she owned that she didn’t have a visible bulge in, and when she wore jeans it always hung to the side, and today the ladies were looking waist level to the right. Clarke put a possessive hand on her mate and steered her back to the car.

When they arrived at the studio Lexa parked beside a Limo. She knew who it belonged to. Titus was the only one of the Woods who had a dedicated driver. Gustus drove his bike, Lexa liked to drive her bike. Anya enjoyed buying cars and having Raven drive her around in them. Lincoln loved his Jeep, but also rode a motorcycle.

Lexa opened the trunk of the car, and handed her a bag. She was thankful to have a mate who let her carry some things around. Even though she had clearly lightened it. Clarke followed Lexa and Madi who was struggling to lift the bag of candy.

People waved to Lexa, and now to her. More and more people recognized her, especially after Lexa screamed that Mrs. Woods needed a bucket…

Most people on the lot knew she was pregnant, and a couple of mothers had checked in on her, and always had tricks that helped them, but this baby seemed to be the opposite of Lexa. She craved junk food, while with Madi she was eating more salads and fruits. Lexa was right to hide the candy. She had just assumed the Alpha had finished them.

“Do you mind filling the bowls?” Lexa asked her, and she agreed, and thought she would spend a minute with Madi, but Lexa took her with her.

Her mate returned, but she was busy chatting with Mary, the Alpha had pumped out her scent, and Clarke turned around to see them both. Madi had a similar outfit but her shirt was long sleeved. It read big sister under construction. Lexa also now carried a traffic sign that read bump ahead.

Clarke laughed, and then approached her mate and daughter. “I love it.”

“Mary, can you take a picture of us?” Lexa asked sweetly with a giant smile on her face.

The older woman who looked like she shouldn’t know how to work a phone took some pretty masterful photos. She had apparently worked at the studio for a very long time, and had changed with the times according to her mate.

Madi asked to see the picture and she showed it to her. To her surprise when Lexa asked for one to be printed out, Madi asked for one as well. The picture was cheesy, but adorable. Lexa looked super happy and all her teeth were showing in the pic. Madi also looked super excited, and she didn’t look terrible in the outfit. Probably because she wasn’t wearing the hard hat.

“Post it mama.”

“Lexa?” Clarke asked looking up at her mate and Lexa had the most eager nod.

“All the socials, and the stories, and whatnot.” Lexa leaned down to kiss her on the lips.

They were adorable. She gently placed a hand over her belly as she decided which photo and what to say… She cross posted to save time, though she rarely used facebook anymore.

-Halloween is a little different this year. I hope we don’t break the internet with this announcement, but here we go…

#PregnancyAnnouncement #ProudbigSis #TrueMates #Woodspack

And after every post she made with Lexa in it she decided to turn off all notifications because she didn’t need that in her life when she wanted to now focus on enjoying the evening.

Lexa took her through the haunted house. Madi blazed ahead, and they followed after her. It appeared there were a lot of volunteers that helped make it fun. A lot of retiree’s, but there were some young kids, who were likely getting paid in candy, and helping out to learn more about production. It was cute.

“There she is,” Gustus had his arms open and brushed past Lexa and gave her a hug. “The mother of my grandbaby. How are you doing Mrs Woods?”

Clarke laughed and stepped out of his embrace, so that Madi could get a hug as well. “Not quite as sick today.”

“So? When is the wedding?”

“Lexa has yet to ask. I mean she kinda did, but. I’m not counting that one. I am holding out for a ring.” Clarke teased, and Lexa groaned. It actually didn’t really matter to her.

“Gussy, where is your costume?” Madi asked.

He put his finger on his lip and pondered it for a minute. “I guess I will just have to put it on… But first, why don’t you head up to the office.” Gustus changed his tone and it wasn’t a suggestion.

Gustus followed them up the stairs and to Titus Woods office. He knocked on the door, and then pushed it open for them and Lexa led the way followed by Madi, and Gustus put a hand on her back urging her into the room before closing the door.

“Trick or treat,” Madi said and looked at him and then at them when he didn’t bother to look up at her.

“These candies are for you,” Titus pushed the candy across the desk.

Madi slowly approached. “Wow, a full bar. Really?”

“Yes.” Titus said, and then looked up at their costumes, and she noticed her mate visibly flinch and Gustus’s scent pushed out through the room. Titus added his the mix, and her daughter froze, and Lexa blasted hers, and she nearly fell over because the scents were getting to her.

But she was an Omega. She was strong. She pushed out her own scent, and rose up on steady legs as she marched towards Titus Woods. She had never really liked him. Lexa had told her stories, but was in denial about being abused by him.

“Madi leave the candy,” Clarke ordered. Her daughter realized something was wrong, and stepped towards Lexa. “Gustus please take Madi to my car, we will be along shortly,” Clarke looked at Lexa to hand him the keys and her mate struggled to pull them out of her jeans pocket.

“What do you want, Miss Griffin? Or should I say Mrs Woods?”

“It will be. Clarke is my mate, grandfather. She makes me happy.”

“You elevate her, you parade her around, and get her roles in your films, auditions through connections. You wear some silly costume, and have given up your career for her.”

“CLARKE ELEVATES HERSELF!!” Lexa roared, and pumped out her scent until her grandfather was slipping from his chair. “And this role. It’s the role of a lifetime. Perhaps if you bothered to stop working for a minute and spent some quality time with your family you would realize that.”

“I work so you can have a career, so you can sleep with whatever whore suits your fancy,” Titus gestured to her, and Lexa cleaved her grandfather's desk with the traffic sign.

Clarke cleared her throat. “Lexa, and I are in love. We have a family, and you don’t want to be a part of it. That’s fine. My kid won’t be in your movie. But maybe you should star in another adaptation of the Christmas Carol, because you are being a right Scrooge!” Clarke shouted and stormed from the office.

Lexa took a little while to follow her out of the office. She had her sign and it was now dented. “I wish I did that to his head, but I really want to go trick or treating.”

“I love you,” Clarke kissed her mate and pumped out her scent.

Oh gods she needed Lexa right now. She couldn’t wait. She scratched at her muscles and bit her lip, and Lexa pressed her hard cock against her. “I need what’s mine,” Clarke growled.

Her mate looked around and pulled her into a really large washroom and locked the door. Lexa went over to one of the chairs sitting off to the side, and unzipped her shorts, and pulled out her cock. Clarke walked over to her, and then pulled down her pants and underwear and turned around. They needed to be quick.

She was soaked and Lexa easily slipped inside of her. Clarke held onto the arms of the chair and Lexa squeezed her breasts through the fabric of her shirt, and she thrust. It was quick, and rough, and after she came hard Lexa pushed her off of her cock and tripped on her way to the sink.

Blood and semen. “I think that is the most painful ruined orgasm I have ever had.” Lexa grimaced. Clarke grabbed one of the hand towels and noticed it had TW monogram. She stuck it to Lexa’s eyebrow, and cleaned up Lexa’s cum from the floor. The Alpha would have to change her shirt.

Clarke helped her to take it off, and noticed the vest was pretty ruined as well. “Just throw them out,” Lexa said, scrambling to put her pants back on with one hand. She threw them in the garbage and then handed Lexa her vest so at least she wasn’t just in her sports bra.

They hurriedly left the washroom and walked quickly to the car where Gustus had already got Madi strapped into her seat. “What happened?” He asked and pulled the towel away from Lexa’s face and noticed the monogram.

“I’ll kill him.”

“It wasn’t Titus, it was me,” Clarke spoke, not wanting Gustus to get arrested, because he looked like he would really kill his old man. “He only has a couple years left, and Pizza is already on the way,” Clarke said looking at her phone and realizing that they were really late.

Lexa drove them to her parents as quickly as she could, but it was a good distance away from the studio and a lot of people were out on their way to get home, and some people were already trick or treating. Madi wasn’t worried about Lexa because Lexa gave her the thumbs up, and she prayed her little girl wouldn’t be a stuntwoman, because it was hard enough watching Lexa perform stunts at times. She didn’t want to see her baby girl get injured.

Her father was dressed as Dracula, and her mother had on a witches outfit and looked disappointed that Madi had changed her outfit. “You know I didn’t exactly plan to play doctor tonight,” her mother said to Lexa. “What happened to the witch's costume?” Her mother asked her.”

“Couples costume. Lexa thought it would be nice to do a pregnancy reveal, and then she accidentally tripped on our way out of the studio. Does it need stitches?” Clarke asked her mother wondering if they would have to go to the hospital or not.

“I said I didn't plan to, not that I wouldn’t. Kids have already arrived. And Lexa, where is the rest of your costume?” Her mother raised her brow. “I saw your story Clarke, before you arrived.”

Clarke ate pizza with her daughter and father. Her mate sat at the table and her mother slapped her hand away whenever she tried to reach for a slice. “Stay still,” Abby Griffin ordered.

“Mama, how many is that?” Madi asked.

Lexa had no idea. She was grinding her teeth, and trying not to move as her mother did them with only numbing gel. “You should do this in the yard Abs. We would be the coolest house on the block.” Jake said before sipping his cup of blood aka grape juice.

“Don’t tempt me. Lexa keeps looking at the pizza like a starved pup. Kids listen better,” her mother growled and tilted Lexa’s chin up to get a better look at it.

When her mother was finally done with her work, she got to see the extent of the damage. Lexa’s scar went from above her eyebrow to below it, in a jagged line. It required a total of 13 stitches, and Lexa didn’t seem to care.

Anya, and Raven arrived before Gustus. Grandpa Gus surprised Madi and came through the side door of her parents house in a Santa costume. “No one dress’s as Santa for Halloween.”

“But there sure are a lot of ho ho ho’s” Raven said and all the adults in the room burst out laughing.

“Lincoln and Octavia will meet us out there,” Lexa said, putting away her phone, as the doorbell rang. Her father opened it expecting trick or treaters and Madi went to hand out some candy, but it was just John and Emori.

Her friends and family took a bunch of photos together, withholding candy from a group of kids until they took their photos. Thankfully they were some nice kids, and her dad loaded their bags before they started to walk down the street with Madi.

Clarke greeted her old neighbors and introduced them to her mate. Emori had this awesome prosthetic hand, and John was dressed as a mummy. Anya went as an adult version of her character from their TV show because she lost a bet to Raven and Raven wore a NASA issue space suit.

Octavia was dressed as a doctor and Lincoln was dressed as a Ninja. As a lot of them were celebrities and had access to props and costumes their outfits were amazing. Most of them were unrecognizable and she now knew why Lexa did the caution tape hair on her hat.

Lexa proudly strutted around with her street sign. She was always at arms length, but alternated between holding her hand, and Madi’s bag of candy. Gustus got a lot of attention. Especially from the younger kids. Warning them to be nice, and not to play tricks because he was watching. Lexa was also getting a lot of looks but because her Alpha clearly wasn’t wearing a shirt, and without the sign, she looked like she was ready to dance at a bachelorette party.

Madi got a lot of candy, which she promised to share, though she didn’t trust her at the moment. Lexa told her that she was the one eating the candy and apologized for blaming Madi. Now her daughter wouldn’t let her near it, and only passed her the pieces she hated, which in most cases, she hated them as well.

Her mother had got a before pic, but now there was an after pick with Lincoln and Octavia. Clarke decided to add that one to her page as well. All of them looked happy. Titus was an asshole, but he didn’t ruin their day. Not one bit.

Chapter Text

Halloween was epic. She hadn’t had that much fun on that day as an adult since she could remember. Mainly because she stopped going out because there was too much alcohol and drugs and she had started her sobriety journey. Now she was a sire with a kid and another on the way.

Clarke Griffin hadn’t even been back in her life for a year, but so much had changed. She was happier, and put in more effort than ever before on bettering herself. Derrek noticed a difference in their sessions, she also noticed a difference in her body. She wanted Clarke to eat healthy and made so many healthy meals for them both. Even though her mate craved junk food she avoided it, and had never looked better in her entire life.

If someone asked her where she would have been a year into the future awhile ago, she certainly wouldn’t say at a parent teacher conference, while her dad watches her kid. Madi was a good kid, but at this school they liked to do check ins and monthly updates. One mom asked if she wanted to be on the PTA but that was just too much.

There were only so many moms she could handle. They would bump into her, accidentally graze her. She was flat out objectified. Her presentation as an Alpha already was an anomaly. She only knew one other female Alpha other than her sister and thankfully she had her to show her the ropes because growing a penis was just awkward. She didn’t want to explain it to any of the curious moms who were ‘asking for their kids.’

Gustus had bought the rights to the script Titus jokingly offered Madi a role for, and now he was hell bent on putting it out there by next Christmas. Her father and grandfather were in a standoff, and she was happy to hide away in her office in the basement of Grounders whenever she was at the studio. She was sure her grandfather had no clue she even helped to operate the company, let alone had her own office.

He was soon put on Madi’s list of people that could pick her up along with Jake. Abby was doing better, and would soon start back up at work. She had a different sponsor, and was determined to work a couple more years before retiring.

Lincoln had apparently been a big help. Since the Halloween party he had been visiting Abby once a week to just pick her brain for his role as a doctor. Little did she know it, but Abby could probably make more money as a Hollywood consultant than a general surgeon.

Clarke and Emori hit it off as friends. Which was good. It sucked working with co-workers you didn’t get along with.

Josephine was still annoying as ever. Her walk… well their walk had already raised nearly a million dollars. Or something like that. She wasn’t looking at the numbers. All she had to do was find some guys. Anya would join her on the walk, but just to watch her fall. Her dad agreed when Clarke suggested it. Murphy had also agreed, and when she got off the phone with Knapp who called her to tell her that her commercial with Clarke was set to air he agreed as well.

Lightbourne had also convinced her father to join. Jake planned on walking as well. So far she had a few Hollywood A-listers and a lot of support behind her. Even some of the wives had pushed their husbands in her direction and well… They were joining her, and she even went to the gym with a couple after drop off.

She never realized how few friends she had. She had her family, and Luna, and others at the studio she hung out with, but outside of the studio she had no one. Now she had a world full of people and the only one concerned with her not acting was her grandfather who kept emailing her scripts.

Abby and Jake hosted Halloween. Her father planned on hosting everyone at his ranch in Colorado. Already he sent staff ahead to decorate. But she had wanted to host thanksgiving, because she had never been more grateful for the people in her life and she wanted them all there to spend it with her.

Clarke burst into her office and she thought that the Omega was hurt, but she had this massive smile on her face, and her scent. Clarke was happy. So fucking happy. “Country Roads is getting a second season and they don’t care that I am pregnant. They are willing to come out here to shoot. Jenson called me.”

Lexa got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around her mate. “I knew it would happen, I just knew it. You didn’t believe any of my grandpas' lies did you baby? I swear I have done nothing but sing your praises, but I never flat out asked someone to bring you in for an audition or give you a roll. You got them all on your own. I would never mess with you like that.”

“I know. I know. He is just an old angry man. Ready for our ultrasound?” Clarke asked.

“I don’t know if we should trust Raven with the gender reveal.”

Clarke slapped her chest. “Raven can keep it a secret, and it wants it to be a surprise for the two of us. Plus she promised to make some kind of firecracker thing to go off behind us while the three of us cut the cake and find out the gender of our newest family member.”

“But everyone else will know before us.”

“Seconds before us.” Her mate argued.

“It’s your birthday. Are you sure you don’t want to do anything else?”

“I would rather do it then than later in the year. What better way to celebrate my birth and the start of a new year than with a fun party. You can take me to Bernices on Valentine's day. I promise.”

Lexa’s ears perked at that. “Tradition.” She smiled and walked out of her office before locking the door.

They drove to the hospital and Clarke played her a couple of the Country songs from the show, and she tried not to cringe. Clarke wasn’t really into country music, but Lexa couldn’t stand it. But she put up with it for her mate, and just to hear her voice.

“Healthy, as far as I can tell. Both Mother and child,” the woman said and handed Clarke the envelope they had brought with. They got photos, but neither of them wanted to look at the ultrasound for fear of discovering what they were having before the party.

“How many more days until your birthday?” Lexa teased.

“It’s January 3rd Alpha.” Clarke said but Lexa already knew that. She could just hardly wait to find out the sex of her baby.

“What do you want?” Lexa asked.

“I have everything I need,” Clarke smiled and then leaned back in her seat.

Madi and Gustus were at her house when they got back, and her father had taken out the grill. She loved his steak, and sat down to eat the largest one. Clarke ate deep fried spring rolls with spicy thai sauce, and Lexa learned a couple weeks ago not to argue. Clarke got to eat what Clarke wanted to eat, but she could no longer tell her it was her fault for knocking her up.

The doctor removed her implant and said they needed to be changed every 4 years, and Clarke had left hers in for 6. Her mate still grumbled about her not drinking her drinks, but didn’t want her to get an implant when the doctor said she could have one put in.

“How are Thanksgiving plans coming along? What do you need me to bring?” Gustus asked.

Lexa had to think about it. Her dad was a griller. Not so much of a cook. But she was a carnivore. Her dad was a carnivore. She for sure wanted to handle the turkey, and she had 3 stuffing recipes from her mom friends. One of the dads said to deep fry one, but she didn’t want to ruin the holiday by burning herself or others.

“Ham.”

“Fine by me,” Her dad laughed and then told them all about Madi’s acting skills. Only a couple scenes had been filmed. It was a slow process for them, but since it was mainly them in an abandoned mall until some bad guys came along, they were fine to film a scene on the weekend and practice during the week.

Weekends were her loneliest time. Madi was on set with her dad. Clarke was also working, Anya was working, all her movie friends were working. Even Jake, who she asked if he wanted to hang out, was working now that his wife was back to work.

Lexa watched her commercial with Clarke and Madi. Knapp had wanted to release it because there was so much hype around Clarke’s Halloween post. She declined interviews when her agent asked, but Clarke did a couple and she watched them.

Anya had taken pity on her, and suggested she work with the film editors, and there was so much footage to review and she wasn’t the best at it. They relegated her to working on the gag real, and she fell in love with Clarke all over again.

Which had her putting in calls, and meeting up with realtors to view houses. She got tired when they just wanted to show her everything and told the woman her list of demands. Back or front yard if it was gated. Pool, Workout room. Garage or space to build a 12 car garage, a kitchen, and a 2 rooms near the master that were large enough to be an office, and would be the baby room and perhaps toy room, or a toddler room, if she convinced Clarke to have another right away which she doubted.

Without anyone with her on the weekend she decided to shop for groceries. She had ordered her turkey ahead of time, and had to pick it up this week. Stuffing took forever to make but she had Clarke ultimately pick a recipe.

Bread crumbs were next to impossible to find. Lincoln was in charge of brussel sprouts with bacon. Anya was making mashed potatoes and Abby was making carrots. So she had to buy canned corn, and cranberry sauce from a can, and she wanted to make a salad because most people forgot about making salads, and she wanted her mate to have variety.

Her girls came home and she had a spread ready for them. It was good practice for Saturday. Even though the thursday was a holiday, people had to work. Especially Abby, and she wanted everyone to make it.

Saturday came around and she was up at 6 am stuffing the turkey she had seasoned into the oven. Her girls got to sleep in. They didn’t judge her for putting canned food in bowls and then in the fridge to wait to be microwaved. She even managed to get in a workout before turning on the stove to make stuffing.

Anya arrived early with Raven, bringing with bags of potatoes and marshmallows, and started to take over her kitchen. It gave her time to finally hang out with them. Madi was coloring with Clarke, and Lexa sat on the small chair and she knew she looked like a giant sat on top of it. Madi slid her a piece of paper, told her what they were drawing, and she joined in while Anya and Raven worked on the potatoes.

“Who else is coming?” Clarke asked.

“Monty, Harper, Luna, Derrek, and the kids, our parents, Link, O, Murph and Emori. Oh and your mom asked if she could bring a doctor friend, and his boyfriend.” Lexa explained the numbers.

“Lexa, not everyone is going to fit at the table.” Her mate struggled to get up and Lexa put a hand on her shoulder.

“17 adults. 3 kids. Dad, Link, and Anya can help me move the outdoor patio table inside. The kids can eat here. Dad is picking up some extra chairs. I have everything under control, Clarke. Just relax. You have been working so hard lately. Is there anything I can get you?”

“Just a water,” Clarke smiled at her, and Lexa had to put her hands on her knees to get up.

Her father arrived next, and they decided that they could carry in the table just the two of them. They did struggle, but only because it was tricky to get it inside. She almost fell into the pool, and her father tripped over the doorway. But they got it inside, and then he went to hang out with Madi and Clarke while she pulled out the table clothes and started to decorate.

“Listen Lex,” Anya came up to her and wrapped her arms around her as she was putting out the turkey napkins she folded. “I’m worried about you. This shit is excessive. Pumpkin whip cream, pumpkin shaped baked brie, you aren’t fucking sally homemaker what the fuck is going on. I sent you 2 scripts. I know your agent offered you work. What the fuck is going on with you.”

Lexa ignored her sister. Anya did remind her that she needed to put the brie in the oven. She had made 2 just in case, and was looking forward to trying them. Today was cheat day, and she was looking forward to all of the food.

Lincoln and Octavia arrived with Jackson, Abby's doctor friend, and to her and Clarke’s surprise his boyfriend was none other than Nate Miller. They had worked with him on their movie together. He was one of the hired thugs. They brought both pumpkin and apple pie, Link and O brought brussel sprouts with bacon and green beans with mushrooms and garlic.

She had to race to pull the brie from the oven. She set one on the table, and one on the counter. “Looks so good,” Clarke smiled and took a picture of the pumpkin shaped brie with cranberry before cutting in to have a taste.

The doorbell rang and her dad was closest and got up to get it. Lexa snapped her head when she smelt Omega pheromones. “No,” Lexa said under her breath.

“Did you think of her?” Clarke teased. “Say her name three times?” Her mate added.

Paige Griffin waltzed into her house carrying a salmon in one hand and a grocery bag in the other as well as a box of wine. “I caught this bad boy, and I was hoping another one could help me grill it,” Clarke’s aunt Paige had eyes for her father, and then they drifted to her, before going back to him. “Come on bad boy, fire up the grill and let me show you a thing or two.”

Jake was a little surprised to see his sister. “I told her we were having thanksgiving at your place. I didn’t think she would make the drive from Long Island.”

“Oh my god that makes so much sense,” Raven said, eyeing up where the woman was having Gustus prepare the giant salmon.

“I hope she didn’t drive with it all the way from Long Island.” Emori added.

Well… Paige was Gustus’s problem now. Lexa made sure all the dishes that need to be reheated got reheated. She checked on the temperature of the bird, and she sent Clarke out to check on the time for the salmon. The good thing about the grill being on, was that it could help keep dishes warm.

“Lexa. I love all the decorations.” Abby praised her attention to detail and she noticed her sister roll her eyes.

Luna arrived with her family, and Madi finally had some friends to play with and they ran down into the basement to get some energy out. No Pool… She had been firm on that with the invitations. She didn’t want anyone slipping on wet floors, especially Clarke.

When the Turkey was finally out she pulled it out of the oven to let it rest for a minute. She cooked it upside down. The rack left its marks, which she knew they would, but according to the moms it kept the bird moist. Lexa felt Clarke around her. Her mate had been on her phone a lot taking pictures to document all her hard work.

Lexa cut it, and pulled out all the other dishes, setting them around the island, because there was no way everything would be able to fit on the table. She had stacked the plates out earlier, and got the kids plastic plates with pumpkins on them. Kids went first, and she went around with Madi helping her to fill her plate as Derrek and Luna did the same.

With everyone at the table now, and the kids already digging in with the promise of dessert, she raised her non alc beer. “I just want to take a minute to say what I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for my daughter, and my mate. I am thankful for the doctor who fixed my nose so that I could smell again. I am so thankful for all the people around the table. My family, and friends.”

She started off a whole chain of people who went down the table and sat touching statements… Her father was grateful for Madi and Clarke. Abby was grateful for her sobriety and she raised her glass of beer to her, because she understood the struggle.

“I am grateful to work with such a wonderful director,” Clarke said. “I am also so happy to have such a supportive mate. When Lexa said she would take off 4 years to help with the baby. I didn’t”

“WHAT!” Anya shouted getting up from the chair.

“Anya sit down,” Gustus pulled at his eldest child's hand to pull her back down. Thankfully she did, but her sister was glaring at her.

“Think she would dive right into the role, but that is just who she is. Lexa gives everything 200% effort, and I love her, and am looking forward to having another one of her children.” Clarke said before getting up from the table.

Lexa pushed her chair back, “everyone eat.” She ordered, and then followed after her mate who was running to the washroom.

Clarke was crying, and Lexa stood in front of her. “I thought she knew. I really did.” Lexa said. “It doesn’t change anything. I am still going to stay home and do the bare minimum for the next couple years of work. I am so thankful for you Clarke. You are such a great person. My rock. I love you baby, and this is not only where I need to be, but where I want to be.”

“Are you sure?” Clarke sobbed.

“As sure as I want to marry you. If you want to quit acting. We quit. We retire, and live a happy life on a farm away from any city. I would do anything as long as I have you by my side.”

Her mate hugged her and wiped her eyes. “I am an emotional mess.”

“My emotional mess,” Lexa said, pulling her towards her before pulling her in for a kiss. “Now come on Mrs. Woods. I made a spread to help feed our pup, and I intend to see you fed.” Lexa kissed Clarke before picking her up and bringing her to the living room.

She sat down on her chair and kept Clarke on her lap. She wasn’t letting her mate go. Clarke had cut up her food for her, and helped her to eat after being shot. She also made her food after her surgery. So she would feed her now, and took the opportunity to do so ignoring everyone around them.

“Have some salmon?” Paige said, putting some on her shared plate with Clarke.

There was no ignoring her. Lexa ate the salmon and it was surprisingly good. Her dad was already on his second helping of it. CLarke had devoured a good portion of ham, and Raven had taken a drumstick for herself.

Her turkey was delicious. As was the stuffing. Together with the cranberry, it was magic. Clarke eventually got off of her lap because Madi and the kids wanted dessert, and Lexa pouted when she left, because she missed the warmth of her mate.

“Lex,” Clarke called and she turned around. “I think something happened to your whip cream”

Lexa got up and went over and took some on her finger before tasting it. “All good,” she said before putting some on her Omegas nose. Clarke rolled her eyes, and then tasted it.

“Oh my god.” Her mate said and took out a bowl.

“I know. Right,” Lexa smiled. She was so fucking happy that she had made her mate something that she enjoyed. Not that it required much effort, but it was fucking good. Clarke cut a small piece of pumpkin pie and buried it in whip cream. “Good thing I made another batch.” Lexa said and went downstairs to get it.

Her pumpkin whipped cream was a hit. Everyone loved it. The brie was good. The turkey was amazing, and her stuffing was better than the kind she made from a box when she craved it and didn’t want to go out. She was happy. Her mate was happy. Most people were happy…. Everyone but Anya.

Chapter Text

Her sister in law. Well, future sister in law approached her a week after thanksgiving, and took her out for lunch. It was at the same little cafe that Bellamy had taken her to, and that Lexa had picked her up from. But it was off studio grounds, and she could tell that Anya wanted to talk.

“I need Lexa, 2 months tops. All the filming will be done in LA, and her character has no love interest. Just some flirting”

“Ask Lexa.”

Anya growled and then stopped herself. She knew she was mad, but her scent let her know that she was also stressed. “I sent her emails. Tried to get her manager to push the roll. I need Lexa.”

“Why Lexa?” Clarke asked curious as to why Anya needed Lexa so badly.

Her mate was happy staying at home, and she wasn’t one to hold her back. If there was a role that Lexa really wanted, they would make it work. But they had both agreed that one of them should be home with the baby at all times. She had job offers coming in, and Murder on the Mountain wanted her as soon as she was done filming with Murphy.

“Goddamn it Clarke.” Anya swore. “Lexa has never looked better, and this role capitalizes on that. My lead got fat. I need Lexa.”

Clarke loved the way Anya got a little embarrassed. “So you are saying because my mate is in better shape than she ever has been, you need her body for your movie.”

Anya grinded her teeth, and Clarke had to bite her own lip to keep from laughing. The baby was due in April. She didn’t want to work past February, but knew that Country Roads wanted to capitalize on her pregnancy. Since her character had multiple love interests, and her Alpha was already getting possessive it might be good to get her out of the house. Or focused on something other than becoming LAs first Alpha housewife.

“Yes. I wanted Lexa for this role but she was worried about us working together too much.”

“Hmmm.” Clarke took a minute to ponder it, but she remembered a conversation she had last valentine's day with her Alpha… About how women always went full frontal… A couple males had done it, but no Alphas. Plus Anya didn’t direct any love making scenes her sister was in. This would be torture for Anya.

“Clarke please,” Anya begged.

“I’m due in April. Lexa is pretty serious about taking time off to be with the baby….” Clarke trailed off dragging this out, and food arrived and she focused on that.

“You want to be a Woods. This is what it means to be a Woods. We work together to get shit done. We put out movies that most people wouldn’t touch, and that some can never compete with.”

Clarke had enough. She cleared her throat. “Script,” she smiled politely at Anya and the woman pulled it out of her purse.

Lexa would be on the water, or on the beach. No driving, other than a truck on the beach. There is an ATV chase, and some water related stunts. There were other women involved in the movie, but Lexa had no love interest like Anya said. But she did flirt to get information, and there was a beach dance party.

To her surprise the Alpha sat there and waited. She ordered coffee, and Clarke asked for more water as she read through the script with every intention of finishing it before filming later that night. Though she was skimming it she was getting the premise. Dirty cops, drug dealers. Local surf shop employee found dead. Co-workers save the day.

“Lexa gets 25% royalties.”

“No way! No one gets that much.”

“You want Lexa, you will follow through with all of my demands, and I will make sure that that fine cut body you want looks even better.”

“FIne. What else?”

“No alcohol on set. At all. That beach dance scene, she will need to take dance classes. It should be believable and Lexa isn’t much of a dancer. Jet Ski scene should be a little fun and playful. Think Lara Croft tomb raider, but bigger. Now… Lexa’s character owns the surf shop and pretty much organizes all of it. Cool. I get it. But there is a shower scene.”

“No alcohol. Check. Dance instructor. Check. Cool water stunts. All throughout the movie. Lexa runs a shop, loved by locals, female tourists all over her. Got it,” Anya added the last part to fuck with her.

And now she was going to get fucked with. “Since Lexa owns the shop she is comfortable… Outdoor showers like most places… Lexa goes commando in the shower after the job. End scene her back in those tight shorts on the beach smiling at the girl she is finally going to go after because clearly there is some tension between her and the local seafood restaurant owner.”

“No… Absolutely not. She won’t go for it.”

Clarke was about to drop the worst part for Anya, because she had pissed her right off. “She will, and you will direct the scene.”

“No,” Anya looked mortified.

“Yes,” Clarke smiled, and started to pack up her things. “Unless you plan to add me as co-director, you will direct the scene.” Anya opened and closed her mouth unsure of what to fucking say and it turned her smile feral. “This is what it means to be a Woods… Remember. Woods come together to get shit done.”

“Clarke, you can’t be serious.” Anya got up and followed her out of the restaurant and to her car. Anya had pretty much forced her inside of it earlier, and now she was standing outside the passenger door waiting for the Alpha to get in the damn car.

“You have until we get back to the studio to make up your mind.” Clarke told Anya as the Alpha got behind the wheel of the car.

The Alpha gripped the steering wheel tight, and pushed out her scent letting her know how pissed off she was. Clarke ignored her, and waved to a couple people that had noticed her. When they got back to the studio, Anya drove her as close to her set as possible and both of them could see Lexa waiting for her outside of her trailer.

“What’s it going to be? Do you want her? Or are you going to shop for a new pair of abs?”

“Fucking hell Clarke. You win. You’re a goddamn Woods alight. You get the co credit. But that is if and only if she decides to film it.”

“She will.” Clarke smiled and left the vehicle to approach her mate.

Lexa got off of her trailer and approached her and pulled her in for a hug and pushed out her pheromones. The Alpha was focused on comforting her and getting rid of Anya’s scent, and Clarke loved Lexa blanketing her with her pheromones, and scent marking her.

“We need to talk when we get home, so I will need you to channel all your anger and aggression not at your sister, but at the gym. I bet you can get some more definition on those abs,” Clarke teased raking her nails over them.

“You are as bad as your aunt.”

“Worse,” Clarke smiled. “But I have work to do, baby. Give Madi a kiss goodnight for me.” Clarke begged.

Emori was great to work with. They could both get serious when they needed to. They both had huge inspirational speeches to make to pull the women of the town and their tribe together. It was all rather dramatic, and very classic western. They were also almost done filming, and she couldn’t wait for the Christmas holidays.

Lexa had told her they were going to her fathers ranch and she was excited to get out of the city, and into the snow. Not nearly as excited as Madi was though. Her daughter would not stop talking about going to Gussy’s. So much so they got an actual calendar so her daughter could cross off the days, until when they got to leave.

Gift giving wasn’t something big. She didn’t need much. She still had the diamond studded necklace that Lexa had given her last year, and planned to wear it on christmas day. Since they were flying it was hard to decide on gifts.

Her mate was one to spend lots of money, and she was one to lean towards something more sentimental. So… She already filed the paperwork to get Madi’s name legally changed. Gift 1, but that was from both her and Madi… Gift 2 a christmas ornament. Another Madi gift considering it is her footprint. Gift 3 a new bike for her home gym, because she needed one. Gift 4 a photo shoot, for when she neared the end of her pregnancy, and Gift 5 was for all of them, but she hoped they would all be enough for Lexa.

For Madi she was sticking to things they would enjoy on the trip. Lexa said she was getting Madi a snowboard, and all that gear. So… She was going with new art supplies like coloured charcoal and oil pastels. Medians she had never used before. Gift 5 Madi would love, so there was little need to lug around other things for her to Colorado.

Murphy finally released her from the set. She was tired of all the smoke… It just made her crave Lexa.

It was 2am by the time she got home and put her bags down. Lexa was asleep and she checked the Alphas alarm so that she could set her own for the same time. She had a morning off because more was to be filmed at night, because Murphy craved realism… A dark studio just would not do. Niche… was one way to describe her current project.

Lexa’s arms went around her in the middle of the night and her Alpha pumped out her scent filling the room before kissing her forehead gently. She wasn’t sure if Lexa was up or just a certain part of her anatomy, but she felt it and wanted it.

“Alpha,” Clarke whined and kicked off her underwear and wrapped one leg around Lexa so that she could rub her cunt against the Alpha’s length.

“M’ega,” Lexa moaned and thrust her hips before kissing her.

It was slow and lazy, but Lexa was up. That was for sure. They didn’t bother to change positions. Lexa couldn’t thrust into her fully, but there was space for them both to play. Lexa brushed her fingers over her nipples as she rubbed her clit slowly.

They watched each other work, and it was so erotic. Not at all wild like their usual session. Hushed whispers, breathless moans, marks. So many marks, her shoulders would be covered in them.

“Mine,” Lexa said so possessively and raked a hand over her body for emphasis.

“All yours baby,” Clarke clawed at her bag digging her nails into her mate and she felt Lexa twitch inside of her. “You wanna cum inside of me baby? You gonna claim this pussy?”

“Yes,” Lexa groaned and put more power into her thrust and gripped her ass with her left hand.

“Give it to me baby,” Clarke demanded, feeling her own orgasm building, she just needed one last thing to tip her over the edge.

Lexa pumped into her a few more times, as Clarke increased the movement of her fingers against her clit. When Lexa brushed her thumb against her nipple she shattered. Lexa started to spill inside of her and Clarke felt her canines nip at the mark on her neck and before one climax could end she was feeling the beginnings of another.

“Holy shit baby you pushed my cock right out you got so tight,” Lexa moaned.

Blankets were pulled down and Lexa pulled her off of the bed and brought her into the washroom. Her mate started the shower, and Clarke looked at the time on her watch. It was nearly 6. They really had taken their time.

Lexa came to join her in the shower after changing the sheets. She loved her mate so much. Lexa did such small things that made her feel loved, and made her want her more. Since they were in the shower they capitalized on that.

Clarke sucked Lexa’s cock into her mouth and took more of it down her throat than she ever had before. The problem was that she was thick and long. She licked up and down her length teasing her as her finger rubbed a sensitive spot underneath her tip. Clarke sucked hard on the head of her cock and then flicked her tongue over her slit collecting all her precum before stuffing her mouth full of cock.

“No one else has ever given me such a good blow job baby,” Lexa had to sit down on the seat in the shower before she could no longer stand.

“Remember that,” Clarke responded before focusing on making her cum down the back of her throat.

Today would be a day all about Lexa. After they dropped Madi off at school, they went to the gym. She was not in super good shape. She ate what she needed to. She enjoyed walking around, and went to one pilates class a week. What Lexa did was intense, but being at the gym gave her a chance to talk to the receptionist.

“”You’re the mate right?” One of them asked.

“Yes?” Clarke said wondering why they had this strange tone and look. “I just need to get some information.”

The blonde flipped her hair over her head. “Lexa hasn’t asked for one of her special massages in like a year. I can check on the docket if you need to make sure, but if she has been cheating it hasn’t been here.”

“What?” Clarke said, confused. “I just need to ask if she uses a specific trainer, to prepare for roles.”

“Ohhh,” the other one said and they shared a look. “You are looking for Terro. Over there,” the woman said, pointing to a man who was working with an older man with zero muscle.

“When is he free?”

“20 minutes. Want me to ask him to come find you?” The blonde asked, and Clarke nodded.

All she had to do was kill 20 minutes. Which was hard to do because she always sought out her mate. Lexa smelled amazing, and every now and then she pushed out her scent through the gym. It was worse when she worked out closer to the Alpha, so she chose a machine that faced a wall and she climbed up the stairs and focused on checking out her own body.

“How many more minutes do you have left?” A man asked and she turned around and nearly fell but he was there to catch her. “You asked for me?”

“Yeah,” Clarke said, looking up at him until he helped her to her feet and stopped the machine.

Lexa came over pretty quickly, and she heard the complaints of other people from the gym, and Lexa’s apologies as she jumped over people on her way to her. Her mate looked her over and then put herself in front of Terro and Clarke placed a hand on her shoulder.

“I asked for someone to help me work out. I tripped and he caught me. Go back to your work out Lex… Unless you wish to talk about getting a massage after. I heard there is a special one that you get here sometimes.” Her mate went beet red, and Lexa scurried from her presence.

Once alone with Terro she got him to show her some workouts she could do on different machines when she told him which ones she had at home. Then he put her on a pair of ropes and had her squat, and move her arms like she was beating a drum.

“Good. Keep going,” he encouraged her when she wanted to stop. It was like he could sense when she was about to give up, and pushed her. It was exhausting.

“I asked for you, because I wanted to talk about you training Lexa again.”

“The Alpha doesn’t need my help. She is looking better than she ever has.”

“Please? We could work out a schedule. I could pay you to come to the house, or Lexa could work out here. Lexa doesn’t do social media, but I do and could take a couple videos of you working out with her, and tag you in them. Maybe you could find yourself running your own gym.”

The man laughed. Full body laughter. “This is my gym.”

“Oh,” Clarke frowned… Well that had failed.

“But… Tell you what. If Lexa wants to work out with me again. I will train with her, and you can post all the pics you want. But you need to work out more. You could barely lift those ropes.” Terro was still laughing a bit, and crossed his arms showing off his large chest.

“I’ll be right back,” Clarke promised and went to find Lexa.

Which wasn’t hard because her Alphas scent was more potent in one area of the gym than others. Her mate stopped her workout and made sure that the weight was secure before looking at her with puppy dog eyes.

“I need you to start working out with Terro. We will talk more when we leave, and how you react to what I am going to tell you will determine how I react to finding out that Terro runs a… Special sort of gym,” Clarke said, deciding on the words.

“You want me to have a work out buddy?” Lexa asked.

This wasn’t about having a work out buddy. “You don’t need one. But… I have something to speak to you about later. Will you do this Lexa? For me?”

“What’s your goal in this Clarke? I thought you like my body.”

Clarke groaned. “I love your body. It is the best. But you could gain another 100 pounds and I would still think that. You could drop all the muscles and I would still love you and crave only you. I just want you to have a routine for the next little bit. Terro will help with that, and he is making me work out a bit myself. Can we just talk over brunch?”

“Fine. Ask Terro to come help me out, and why don’t you go ask one of the girls where you can shower and change. I know you are done,” Lexa commented before giving her a kiss and approaching the owner.

She showered in the fancy gym washroom, and was actually impressed by how clean the facility was. She had her own washroom. I mean there had to be a couple other Omegas in LA, and if they went to a gym it should be this gym. Alphas also had their own room as did Males and Female Betas. This place was great.

Afterwards she decided to get a smoothie and noticed that Lexa had come here to get a couple of the smoothies she had brought for her. They had a good amount to choose from, and she chose something that Lexa likely wouldn’t have chosen for her, because her Alpha was trying to keep her and the baby as healthy as possible.

“Thank you,” she smiled at the female server, and went over to one of the tables to look at her phone. Anya had emailed her the package, and she read it over. Lexa would get 25% of the royalties… Full nudity for a full spin under an outdoor shower… and $23,000,000…

Her own just promised a flat rate of $5,000,000 and she was only required to direct a scene with Lexa and her employees at the seafood restaurant, the dance scene, the shower scene, and the scene on the beach at the end… Basically all the scenes where Lexa had to flirt, or where there was something sexual about them. But there was also a class she needed to attend, that Anya signed her up for.

Lexa sat down an hour after she had signed her own contract. All she had to do was get Lexa to agree to do the movie, and she would send both copies back to Anya… Which was going to be the hard part.

Clarke drove them to Indra’s… Lexa would never have a freak out there. She told Indra they needed some space, and she brought them to the back and put reserved signs on the 4 nearest tables, and Clarke thanked her.

“So this is serious.” Lexa said.

“Lexa… I love you. I love that you agreed to 4 years, but I am not giving birth until april… We have time. You have time… Take one more role,” Clarke said, pushing the script Anya handed her the other day to her.

“Clarke no,” Lexa said, pushing it back but Clarke pushed it towards her. “What is this? Is this some kind of trick? A test?”

She shook her head. “No nothing like that. I want you to do this movie, because… I am a Woods, and I was told that when a Woods needs help we band together.”

“Who told you that?” Lexa asked.

“Anya. She begged me to get you to take the role. Your agent wants you to take it, Anya needs an actor. Bad… Hers apparently filled out in the wrong way for the role.”

Lexa laughed. “So that’s why you want me to work out with Terro.”

“Yes…. And… We get to work together.”

Her mate's face lit up. “But the script for our treasure hunting movie isn’t finished I thought.” Lexa grabbed the script and then frowned.

“I’ll be directing… With Anya. This is big for not only me… But for you. I negotiated your contract and this is what she is offering,” Clarke said and then explained all that Anya was offering aside from the shower scene.

“Okay. We can do it. You can direct while pregnant. We won’t need to leave LA, and I get to learn some super cool moves for our wedding.”

“That's the spirit,” Clarke said encouragingly…. “There is just one catch.”

“What is it?” Lexa asked and held her hands. She looked genuinely happy that they would be working together and back on set.

“The shower scene at the end… Remember how we talked about male directors, and producers like females and Omegas in similar scenes to be nude. Ratings go up, so on and so forth.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m directing your shower scene, and I am that director.”

Her mate instinctively put her hands over her crotch under the table, and Clarke wanted to roll her eyes. “You want that?”

“I want this movie to be one of your most talked about roles. Or at least talked about enough roles keep coming in for you while you stay at home with baby number 2 until I am ready to stay at home with baby number 3,” Clarke said deciding to let that bit of bribery hit its mark, because she was more than willing to let Lexa do so many things to her looking like she was.

Lexa then crossed her arms, and scrunched up her face looking hella adorable, before holding up her fingers. “4 babies total spaced out over the next 5 years. I’m nearly 30 Clarke.”

“So you expect me to have all my kids before I turn thirty?”

“All of our kids?” Lexa tried and Clarke rolled her eyes.

“Sign the contract and I will consider it.” Clarke handed her her phone and Lexa looked between it and her a couple times before sighing and signing the paperwork. Once she had checked it all over she sent it off to Anya, and got a thank you message before she could even close her phone.

Her mate drove her to the studio afterwards and spent the rest of the afternoon proving to her why she named her cock the commander. She pitied the PA that got sent to her trailer to let her know that Murphy was looking for her.

“3 babies. 5 years,” Lexa said like she was Obi Wan Kenobi with her hand gesture and Clarke laughed and threw the Alpha her clothes.

They were going to be working together again. She was super excited, and planned on making the most out of her time in that class. There was no way she was going to let Anya down, or Lexa. This picture would be funny, dramatic, full of action, stunts, explosions, and would go down in history for having the best full frontal scene, because no Alpha other than porn actors had shown their dick on camera.

Chapter Text

The mountains of Colorado were covered in snow. Madi had put her head against the window of the jet to get a good look. Her little girl told her all about her time in Colorado with her mom, and she wanted to make this time just as special. Madi got 2 weeks off for the Christmas holidays.

Clarke had negotiated for her scenes to be filmed for the show that featured different Murderers every episode, to be filmed in LA. Her character got arrested in the episode she was last in, so it would just be a prison visitor scene, and voice over work explaining how she suspected another killer poisoned their spouse. Kinda cool, but not her kind of show, but people loved it.

So they got a full 10 days in Colorado, and she planned on showing her girls the ropes. She had something special planned for them. Since her dad had a ranch, he had plenty of help, and a lot of horses. He always took in ones sent for the slaughter house. Old track horses, and such, but he had a couple that they could still ride.

Abby couldn’t get the time off, and decided that the stress of work was part of the root cause of her addiction. Lincoln had offered her a job consulting on his show. They were in their 20th season and running out of original ideas. Abby was skeptical, but she took the work, and Lexa was pleased that she was doing well, and could come spend Christmas with them all because she had a special gift for Clarke.

“Gussy!!!” Madi climbed down a couple of the stairs of the plane to then jump into her fathers arms.

“Sweet girl. Look at your jacket. You look like you're ready to play in the snow,” her father was so happy to have a grandkid. Clarke had bundled her up before allowing her to get off of the plane. It was too cold. All of them had ordered a bunch of outfits online. Clarke got a blue jacket, she chose Black, and Madi wore green.

Her father had his King Ranch and another truck ready to take them all back to his place, but it wasn’t a surprise to her that Madi’s car seat was set up in his truck. Gustus would do anything to get a couple extra hours with Madi, and would do the same once the baby was born as well.

Anya, Lincoln and their girlfriends loaded into the truck with her dads ranch hand, and Abby and Jake squeezed in with them. “Thanks for inviting us,” Jake said over his wife who had the misfortune of sitting between the two of them.

Bags were loaded into the back of their truck, and in the back of the spare truck, and there was just enough room. She had Madi’s gift shipped to her dads, and they would likely leave it there for the next year. Otherwise they may need to have a third truck drop them off packed with all their luggage.

“Not a problem. We are family now, even if these two haven’t tied the knot. How is your album coming along?”

“Almost done,” Jake replied and then went into detail talking to her dad about it for the rest of the drive to the large ranch.

As they drove up the driveway she noticed a familiar boat of a car. Really it was a classic, and shouldn’t be driven, but its owner didn’t seem to mind driving it’s ass back and forth across the country.

“Dear god. Who invited her?” Abby asked.

Her father slapped his own face and then blushed. “I sent her a christmas card.”

“With your address on it?!” Madi asked. Her face always got pinched by the woman, but Lexa had other things pinched, and she had the same expression as her daughter. Disbelief at how her own father could be so stupid.

Clarke then closed her eyes. “And I posted a pic of my packed bag saying ready a week in advance… That’s a first…. It was on my story. I gave her the timeline.”

“And I gave her the location,” Gustus sighed.

Everyone packed out of the vehicle and Jake went to go greet his sister. “Glad you could make it.”

“Well you made it a little easier than thanksgiving, but… I couldn’t miss out on this view,” the woman pulled out an old school 90s style camera that you had to wind up to take a picture, and got one of the rolling hills of snow, and the forest before the large mountain in the distance. “My god this is lovely.”

Her father stepped up behind Jake and the woman turned with the camera still in front of her face as she looked through the lens and took a picture of her father. “I didn’t know you were coming.”

“I enjoy long rides on bumpy roads, and climbing mountains” Paige said and eyed up her father, who went beet red.

Lexa grabbed her daughter and held her mate's hand. “Let me show you to our rooms,” she said, needing to get away from the sexually charged pheromones the Omega was pumping out. Not to mention all the sexual innuendos.

She had a gift for everyone. Literally everyone and she hadn’t a single gift for the woman who kept showing up to each family function. Even though she was uninvited she was still family, and in her opinion she would take crazy Paige Griffin over her grandfather any holiday of the year. Frankly it would be funny to toss those 2 in a room together and throw away the key.

Her room at the ranch had an ensuite washroom. Only a couple of them did, and only one did on the guest ranch where Lincoln, Anya, Octavia, and Raven were staying. Though the home was spacious it had a massive open concept kitchen living room that had floor to ceiling windows to let in natural light as well as a rustic feel.

Since they had arrived before dinner, her father had thought ahead, and there was a massive pot of chili. He made the hearty soup, and he asked one of the chefs he hired to help them out during christmas to make a second white one, just in case Clarke didn’t like his. Lexa loved the way her father cared about her mate. It was sweet, and thoughtful.

“Isn’t this nice,” Paige said and then slurped the chili off of her spoon. “Well, go on. Dig in. The man of the house is just driving over to get the other kids.” Paige explained and Abby sent them a pleading look asking to be saved.

Clarke sat down beside her aunt, and Madi decided to bite the bullet and took the other side. Maybe she needed to get Madi a couple more presents. Her daughter deserved it. Lexa sat down beside Abby, and pulled the pot of chili towards her and grabbed Clarke’s bowl.

Anya, Raven, Lincoln, and Octavia, had been gone for an hour but they arrived drunk. Her sister smelled terrible, and Octavia and Lincoln brought their bags with them, which meant one thing… Anya was going into rut.

“Well don’t you smell good,” Paige said as she sniffed the chili but eyed up her sister.

Raven sat Anya down as far away from Paige as possible after that comment. It appeared that Anya and Raven wouldn’t be joining them for the next couple of days. Whatever plans they had made would just need to be adjusted which didn’t bother her. She knew her dad had some plans up his sleeve to spend time with Madi.

Her father put on a tv show for Madi and made hot chocolate and popcorn over the large fire. There was likely some kind of law against cooking on a flame that wasn’t on a stove inside of your house, but her dad was a rebel and always would be.

Octavia and Lincoln were downstairs hanging out and wrapping all their presents, and Abby, Jake and Paige had joined Gustus on the couch. At least Clarke’s aunt wasn’t drinking boxed red this evening.

Clarke pulled her into their room and they had a brief talk about presents. Clarke had a present for both her and Madi, and they would get it in the morning. Whatever it was… They agreed to go into town afterwards, and that way they could grab something for Clarke’s aunt from the two of them. After very little deliberation Lexa decided they would purchase her a camera, thinking it was a thoughtful gift, and the way that her mate shrugged at her, told her that it may not be used, but whatever. It was better than the town's best box of red.

The following morning she fucked her mate hard into the matress of the bed. Clarke had to bite her arm to stay quiet, and she was thankful that she wouldn’t have to wear long sleeves for a week.

“I love how aggressive you can be sometimes,” her mate moaned while she was rutting into her from behind.

Lexa squeezed her ass as she ground her hips and gave it a playful tap. “I love it when you cum when I smack your ass. You have perfect assets,” Lexa emphasized by squeezing her tit and ass at the same time.

“Baby,” Clarke warned.

“We are having one. I know,” Lexa smiled and kept up her teasing before giving in and fucking Clarke so hard the headboard smacked into the wall, and then the bed moved backwards, and its leg got caught on a board and broke.

They rolled to the side, but Lexa didn’t slip from her mate and took that as a sign to keep going. She fucked Clarke faster, and rubbed her pussy quickly in order to get her to cum with her. She exploded inside of her mate right as Madi opened up the door and Clarke had to grab the blankets and pull them up past their hips quickly so their daughter couldn’t see anything.

“What happened to your bed?” Madi asked. Jake came into the room right behind her, and took one look at them, and he was a deer caught in headlights pulling their daughter away, as he reached blindly to close the door.

Clarke climbed off the higher side of the bed towards the washroom. Her mate started the shower as Lexa assessed the damage. The sheets would need to be removed. It was only polite to whoever would help her fix the bed if it was even possible to fix. They would likely have to bunk with Madi now or sleep on the large couch until it was fixed.

Once they were both presentable, they made their way downstairs. Madi was waiting for them with Jake, and there was a present in front of her that she apparently wasn’t allowed to open without her there. Which was why their daughter came into the room. She thought the noise meant that they were up…

“Madi, thank you for waiting for Lexa to open your gift.” Clarke praised their daughter, and Lexa wondered what was under the wrapping paper.

Her daughter seemed to have the same thought and she ripped into it, and Lexa helped her to pull it away, and she heard her daughter shriek before she got to see what was inside of it. “A puppy!!” Madi reached into the cage and an adorable little black and white pup came out to lick her face.

Lexa turned to her mate who nodded her head at her, and Lexa got down on her knees with Madi and inspected the pup. Clarke had got a boy. Just like they had talked about, and the exact same breed they had discussed as well. Madi was now snuggled up to a portuguese water dog, a hypoallergenic breed they had decided on because they weren’t sure what their future kids' allergies would be. She had just assumed they would get it after the baby could walk, but this was great.

“Let’s take him outside Mads. I don’t know how long he was in that cage for but I bet he would like to be outside for a bit.” Lexa said wanting her daughter to be mindful of the pet they were bringing home with them.

Gustus brought Madi her coat, and had his on as well. They opened the patio door and quickly escaped outside. It seemed the pup liked her father, and her father knew what to do with it. Clarke had clearly planned this, and it was a great gift. Much better to open it today than have the poor pup hidden away somewhere from the people that would love it most in this world.

“You have to tell your dad about the bed,” Clarke whispered so no one else could hear.

She nodded. She would do anything for her mate. If the contract she just signed was any indication. When they got back she was set to start her dancing lessons. She would learn the dance, and it would be the first scene they would film, because Anya wanted her fresh. Also she was making a shit ton of money from the film. Clarke should negotiate all of her contracts.

Clarke grabbed both of their coats, and they went outside to join their daughter. The puppy was still young, but it followed Madi around and ate the snow her daughter offered it. Her father already had a small poop bag, and she was pleased to see that there was no poop or pee in the crate the dog was in as well.

“What is his name Madi?” Clarke asked and Lexa’s ears perked up. She had agreed with Clarke to let the kids name the dog and since there was only one that could speak, she was curious as to what name she would pick.

“Stanley.” Madi said and petted the dog.

He kinda did look like a Stanley. “You will have to walk him with Lexa Madi. And we have a dog trainer coming when we get back home. So you are going to have to be firm with Stanley, so that he is well behaved by the time your sibling arrives.”

“I will, and they will love Stanley. Stanley will give them lots of cuddles and kisses too,” Madi smiled. She was in her own little world today.

Clarke gave her hand a couple of squeezes. “Good. We have to head into town. Do you want to stay here with Stanley or come with us to pick out some toys for him?” Clarke asked their daughter.

“Can Stanley come with to pick up his own toys?” Madi asked, and looked at her mate, and her mate looked back at her.

“There is a feed store that has pet supplies. It is dog friendly. Need me to drive you into town?” Gustus asked.

“All good dad,” Lexa wanted it to be just a family trip. Hopefully the first of many. “Maybe you want to stay here and check out the bed in our room. It broke.”

Her father grumbled and went to the door to go back inside. “I’ll text you a list of things I need while you are in town.” He shook his head and cleaned off his boots before going inside.

Madi was in love with Stanley and he loved her back. They stayed outside for a couple more minutes, before Lexa took them all back inside to get ready to go into town. They needed to grab their wallets, and phones. Madi also needed to not wear PJs into town because she wasn’t sure how long they would be.

The town hadn’t changed much since she had been there last year. She drove her family to the feed store, and got a bunch of chews for the dog. Madi picked out a green leash and collar to match her jacket, and the pup picked out a treat right out of a basket when they weren’t looking, so that would need to be a focus of their training. She didn’t want a counter surfing dog.

At the town pharmacy she stocked up on cold meds just in case, as well as some halls, and some kids cold lollipops. She had a feeling that someone was going to get sick this season, and she hated being sick. She also got a disposable camera, one that took polaroids, and a digital one. She would see for herself which camera Clarke’s crazy aunt preferred.

Clarke and Madi had stayed in the car with the dog and trusted her choice of purchases. Before she got to the check out she went down an aisle she hadn’t in a long time. There was no chance of knocking up her mate, but there had been times where she wished her mess was more contained. Like the Halloween incident. She was also sure that they would be moved to a different room because her dad didn’t text her back, so they wouldn’t have an ensuite washroom, and would need to share. So she added a pack of condoms to her purchases.

As she hopped back into the truck with her purchases her mate showed her the message from her dad…

Gustus: Bed is wrecked. Ordered a new one. Will be delivered after Christmas. So you and Clarke either have to share with Madi or sleep on the couch.

Lexa: We are fine with the couch. Thank you Gustus ♥️

Her mate had messaged him back so she didn’t have to, and she didn’t seem too put out by it. “At least no one got hurt this holiday.” Clarke smiled brightly.

Back at the Ranch her dad was in the large family room hanging out with Lincoln and Jake. Octavia was stuck with Paige, and Abby. The women had taken it upon themselves to make christmas cookies, and Clarke, ever the sweet tooth, complained about them not having any icing on them, so she went into the kitchen to help out the ladies, as her mate, child, and Stanley found someone to cuddle with on the couch.

The following day after a hearty breakfast with everyone aside from Anya, and Raven. Her father had a surprise for them. He had a couple classic sleighs hooked up to the horses that were ready to take them around the property.

She made sure that Clarke was bundled up. Scarves, mitts, hats, and hot packs in her boots. Then she did the same for Madi, and herself before stepping outside.

Each sleigh had a ranch hand sitting in the front to navigate. Abby and Jake sat behind the man leading the second sleigh and she helped her mate, and then Madi into the sleigh before lifting Stanley inside. He was still small. Maybe next year if they did this again he would run beside them but for now he sat between Abby and Jake.

Lincoln and Octavia waved to them from their position in the other sled, and her father helped Paige in before taking a seat beside her. He seemed to not mind the woman as much as the rest of them, but she chalked that up to pheromones. All Omegas smelled good, but Clarke smelt the best, and now carried her scent with her everywhere she went.

“This is beautiful,” Clarke exclaimed once they got to the wooded path.

Her mother was taking pictures, and it was a struggle to get both Madi and the pup her daughter was holding to look at the camera at the same time. Her arm was over her daughter and around her mate as she kept her family close, and huddled for warmth.

Jake Griffin started to sing Christmas carols, and Madi joined in, as well as Abby, and her mate, and she sang softly along. Her father and the other sleigh started to sing as well, when someone picked up another tune, and it was a lot of fun. They were gone for a total of 2 hours, and had been through a carved path through the trees, and the open fields.

“Wow. Just wow. Thank you Gustus,” Clarke hugged her father when they got down from the sleigh.

“I thought it would be festive. Maybe we could make it a tradition,” her father smiled. “I liked the christmas tunes Jake. Thanks for leading us.” Her father slapped an arm around the man and they went inside.

Stanley was happy to finally be out of the carriage, and Madi wanted to play in the snow. Lincoln and Octavia decided to join them, and they threw snowballs at each other and for Stanley, who was searching for them in the snow.

She had never laughed so much. For years she had always been so serious. Now she was laughing, singing, and doing things she never thought she would be doing. All because she was in love, and had this awesome family, and the sweetest kid.

“Mama, can we go sledding?” Madi asked.

Lexa looked up at the sky. It was getting late, and the good hill was off in the distance. “Tomorrow Madi. I promise.”

Lincoln lifted her daughter up and threw her into a pile of snow, and had her laughing. “We will have so much fun on the sleds tomorrow Madi. Octavia is excited to drive one. Dad got one for each couple this year. Grandpa Gussy is looking forward to taking you on your first sled.”

Madi looked confused. “But I have already been on a sled.”

“Not this kind,” Octavia added before explaining that it had a motor.

Her daughter ran inside and had to speak to Gussy about it. Lexa was left carrying in the pup, and ridding its paws of snow before setting it down. Stanley went straight for Clarke and her Omega picked him up and placed him beside her. Stanley rested a head on her stomach, and Lexa was amazed at how smart dogs could be.

The following day they went sledding. Madi rode with Gustus, and she rode with Clarke on the back of her sled, while Octavia and Lincoln each drove their own. Abby rode on the back of Lincolns and Paige rode on the back of Octavias. Jake was currently riding on the deer sled, holding down the sleds that Madi thought they would be using.

Whenever Madi would shriek or scream, Clarke gripped her harder. When Gustus started to get a little playful in the snow Clarke dug her nails into her, and she was worried that they would break the gloves she was wearing, because she was sure she would have a bruise on her stomach.

Jake, who was being towed behind them, felt happy to finally be off of the sled. He had snow all over his back that Abby brushed off, and Madi went straight to him to grab a sled. Her father, right behind her. “Race you down Jake,” Gustus said and Jake stopped letting his wife fuss over him to grab a carpet.

Lexa grabbed one and gestured for Clarke to get on with her. Her mate sat down, and Lexa scooted them along to go down the hill after their family.

It was a lot of fun. Clarke took many pictures as did Octavia. Paige brought that disposable camera, and got a bunch. She also slipped off the sled and rolled down the hill barrelling into her father. No one was injured, and her daughter had turned into a little speed demon. Running and jumping onto her carpet.

Back at the house, one of the staff had hot chocolate ready for them, as well as all the ingredients to make roasted hot dogs and then smores on the indoor fireplace. The simple night gave everyone time to wrap their gifts up.

The following day was spent searching for the perfect christmas tree. Clarke stayed back because it was going to be a long walk through the woods, and the vibrations of the sled didn’t bode well for her stomach on the ride back to the ranch house the day before.

Madi found the largest tree and her father cut it down. Lincoln helped her tie the branches down, and a couple of the ranch hands, helped them carry it into the truck, and then helped to set it up in the house. Her daughter wanted it in a certain spot, so it went in that spot. Her father was ever the push over, and she wondered when he had gotten so soft, but he was happier than she had ever seen him this time of year.

Clarke had busted out the decorations with the help of one of the workers. Years of old Christmas decorations were collected from many different sets, because they usually managed to break a couple every year, so her dad always bought a new one each year.

“This one's for you,” Clarke said, holding out a box.

Lexa lifted the lid of the box and noticed Madi’s footprint and the year she was born. It was perfect. She teared up a little and her mate gave her a hug before she encouraged her to put it on the tree. She had to show her father first, who also got a little emotional. Then she hung it on the tree in a place where she could always see it.

Her father had kept a couple of the ornaments she had made with her mother over when she was still alive. Stick figure santa’s and painted ornaments. Each had her or her siblings names on them, but they left Anya’s in a box for her to hang up. Each of her siblings knew to hang only their own ornaments, and not each others after a massive fight when she was 5 and her siblings were 7 and 11… It was after her mom had died, and the fight lasted the whole holiday.

Clarke had given her so many precious gifts. Her daughter, their mating, their pup, and now a puppy, and an ornament that she would cherish for the rest of her life. She felt so unworthy of her love, and worried that her gifts wouldn’t compare.

The following day when everyone went into town she stayed back with her mate. Since Clarke didn’t like the sled, she had come up with a back up plan. Her fathers horse was saddled, and would be able to support both of their weight. She lifted Clarke up first before getting behind her and headed off to a place that held the prettiest view.

“How are you holding up?” Lexa asked.

“Good. Are you going to tell me where you are taking me?” Clarke asked.

“It’s a surprise,” Lexa kissed the side of her mate's head and rested a hand over her stomach as they moved together atop of the horse.

When they arrived at the view point Lexa jumped off the horse, and tied him to a nearby tree. Then she helped Clarke down, and reached into the saddlebag to pull out the box she placed there earlier when Clarke wasn’t looking.

“This spot has the best view,” Lexa said, leading Clarke away from the horse, and over to a breathtaking lookout.

“Lexa, it's beautiful. I wish I had brought my sketchbook.” Clarke said as she took it all in and Lexa knew it was time to get down on one knee while she was distracted.

“Clarke,” Lexa called from her position on the ground. Her mate turned and both of her hands went to her mouth, as she took a large surprised inhale. “Will you marry me?” Lexa asked, opening the box.

“Yes. Yes a thousand times yes,” Clarke said and struggled to take off her glove, but Lexa quickly closed the box and grabbed her hands.

“We will put it on when we get back in the house. Let’s just share the view.” Lexa smiled, but her mate was determined and Lexa gave in. She helped her with her glove, and then slipped the ring onto her finger.

Clarke took a picture of the ring, and then had her take a selfie with her showing off the ring, with the beautiful mountainscape behind them. Her mate was happy, and Lexa loved the scent of her.

“If we race back they might not be at the house.” Clarke bit her lip, and pushed out her pheromones and Lexa groaned.

“Clarke.. I can’t ride a horse like this,” Lexa groaned and adjusted her pants. She had to undo the button on her jeans, and pull down the zipper.

Her mate rode in front of her and purposely pushed herself back into her cock. The Omega was teasing her with her body. The rocking didn’t help, on the way there, and it certainly wasn’t helping her erection go down now.

They didn’t make it back before the rest of the family did. She dropped Clarke off at the house, and then jumped back on the horse to take him to the barn. Without her mate around to keep up her erection, and no chance of them continuing, she was able to button up her pants.

She arrived back at the house and was hugged by Abby and then Jake. Her father teased her, and joked about finally Alphaing up. Paige full on squeezed her ass, and Octavia and Lincoln congratulated her as well. Madi was super excited for a wedding, and Lexa was as well. She couldn’t wait for Clarke to officially become Mrs. Woods.

Chapter Text

She had the scar, she had the ring, and she had the best Alpha on the planet. And everyone on the entire planet knew it.

They had celebrated the night that Lexa proposed with sparkling cider. Her mate looked so happy. Lexa had picked out a beautiful ring, and even though it wasn’t a perfect fit it could be adjusted. Lexa had also promised that if she didn’t like it they could pick out a different ring, but she loved it.

On Christmas morning Madi woke them up. Sleeping on the couch had its perks. They could get Stanley outside when he pawed at the crate. Well Lexa could. Her mate was determined to let her sleep through the night while she could.

Madi was super excited. There were many gifts under the tree with her name on it. More than she had expected and at least a gift from each of the adults. It was hard to keep her daughter quiet. Lexa went into the kitchen to work on breakfast, and she put on the TV for Madi and they played with Stanley on the floor of the living room.

The smell of food brought Lincoln and Octavia up the stairs. They were in their pajamas as was everyone else who came downstairs. Christmas tradition for the Woods. The one time of year where they were told to stay in their PJs all day. A tradition started by Titus of all people to her surprise.

Cinnamon rolls, coffee and tea, and orange juice were had by everyone on the table. Even though her mother wasn’t an alcoholic and just abused pills she abstained. Just like Lexa, who had apparently abused both for a couple years.

“First present at the table? Griffin tradition?” Her aunt asked.

Gustus shrugged. “Sounds good to me. Who goes first?”

Since he was looking at her she decided to get up and get him his present. “The person to the right of the one sitting at the head of the table. They grab the first gift they see with that person's name on it. Then it keeps going around to the right. So Octavia would get my gift, and Mom would get Octavias. Afterwards we all clean up breakfast before sitting down to do stockings.”

“We do stockings first,” Lexa said, and she watched as Lexa glanced around the table. “But I think it would be too messy to do those at the table while everyone eats. So Griffin tradition,” her mate smiled before heading back into the kitchen to grab everything else that was prepared for breakfast by the chefs.

Clarke got up to grab the first gift she saw with Gustus’s name on it. It ended up being a signed ZZ Top album from her father. She had never seen Gustus hold anything so gingerly. He quickly got up to put it away.

Octavia handed her a gift from herself because she knew where it was. Clarke opened it to see an old picture of all of them from Princess on the Ground. It was special. Lexa’s arm was wrapped around her, and they were so young. Maybe their wolves knew before they did. Lexa had said she rejected her to protect her, and that rejection hurt more than anything in her entire life had.

Paige found a gift for Octavia and shook it a couple times first. Lincoln had got her a fuzzy pair of slippers. Paige got an actual camera, and just put it in her purse and pulled out the disposable and she shared a look with her mate, because she noticed all the purchases she made at the store. Even the condoms.

Once everyone had a gift, and breakfast was finished her parents took it upon themselves to clean up. Dinner was a roast, and veggies. All had been prepared by the staff, so all they had to do was stick everything in the oven. Lunch would be full of snacks since they had eaten a later breakfast by the time everyone had finished opening up their first gift it was 11.

Lexa had got her a ring which was all she really needed. Her mate also loved both of her other gifts. She cried when she opened up the paperwork showing Madi’s name legally changed to Woods. Her daughter was in her lap when she opened the next present of the photoshoot, and she showed her pictures on her phone of what she wanted to look like and the Alpha gave her a knowing smirk.

Her mate’s other gift was at the house, and she had already seen it. Not that she needed it to be a surprise. She just wanted Lexa to know that she loved her, and supported her hobbies, and interests. Though Lexa teased Anya might have to recast her because of all the food she had binged throughout the holiday so far.

Madi had been spoiled. Lexa’s snowboard was one of the first gifts she asked to use, and her Alpha got her own and took her out to the hill they were on previously to teach her. Lincoln and Octavia had also brought their boards, and planned on going to a ski resort the following day. When Madi heard she wanted to join, and Clarke said that she could go as long as Lexa went with her.

The Ranch felt empty without her mate and daughter running around. Raven and Anya had messaged them that they would be coming inside the following day. The two of them just wanted a day to themselves, and she knew that feeling, and she was placing bets with her father in law whether they had mated or not.

Gustus had a very large TV which she was using to try and relax. There were cookies, and other snacks, but eating to fill the time between when her mate and daughter would return wasn’t a good idea. Lexa was good with Madi, and there was little need to worry.

Clarke’s agent had called her on Christmas and left a message about a couple morning shows wanting to speak to not only her but Lexa… It was nearing the time where they needed to promote their movie. So maybe she needed to look at their joint calendar, and find a time. But she would have to speak to Lexa about it, because Lexa wasn’t known for taking interviews. She can’t recall a single time she had seen her in one outside of a set.

The gifts she had been given were already tucked away in her suitcase, but she wanted to get one out. Lexa had got her a new phone, a massage was also booked for when they returned, but she was most looking forward to the spa weekend she had booked for after she had given birth. But for now she wanted to use the charcoals and sketchbook the Alpha had given her.

“I haven’t seen you do that in awhile,” her mom said softly and took the seat beside her and covered up her feet with the blanket she had wrapped around her shoulder. Currently she was sketching Stanley, who was curled up around Madi’s unicorn blanket. He was sitting ahead of her on the lounge portion where she didn’t want to stick her legs to move the pup from his comfy spot.

Clarke stopped her sketching to look at her mother for a moment. “I want to get back into it before the baby arrives.”

“Raven was supposed to tell me all about the gender reveal, but I guess I will just have to wait a week to see it all for myself.” Abby touched her foot and then pulled out her glasses so that she could easily read the book she had brought with her.

Hanging out with the adults was quiet. Her aunt was drinking already as she took over the kitchen from Gustus’s employees to make shepherd's pie. Her father and Gustus had gone to chop wood and spend some time outdoors. It was just quiet.

Her socials had blown up. She had posted a picture of her and Lexa after the Alpha proposed, as well as her teary Alpha holding her daughter and the paperwork of her official name change. Comments were not her friend at times, and she ignored all the people saying that Lexa should get a paternity test. Her Alpha would set them straight, and it was no one else's business but their own. They were happy. That’s what mattered.

Madi had a blast out on the slopes. Lexa had taken many videos and sent them over for her to watch. Pics of the two of them together on the lift, having hot chocolate, and a couple likely taken by Lincoln and Octavia.

Lexa: Need anything before I come back to the house?

Did she need anything? No… Want anything…

Clarke: Chocolate Milkshake cheeseburger extra pickles, and pie. But not from Mcdonalds

Lexa: Coconut Cream from the grocery store. Understood.

Ugh… She couldn’t wait for Lexa to get home. it was like her mom could sense it and pulled her into her lap to lay down. Her mother stroked her hair, and continued to read her book, and slowly she fell asleep.

“Baby,” Lexa called and she felt her warm hands waking her up.

Her mate pulled her against her, and Clarke ate the offered cheeseburger. Next she took the milkshake and took a sip before setting it aside. It was good. So fucking good. Lexa massaged her shoulders as she relaxed into her mate's touch.

“Madi?” Clarke asked.

“Taking a bath. Abby is getting her ready for dinner.”

“Mmmm,” Clarke just agreed because her mind felt mush and she had missed her mate all day. “How was it?”

“Fun. Madi is a natural. She is a tad bit scared of heights, but loved going down the hill so much she braved the lift, every time.”

Clarke smiled at her mate before giving her a kiss. “I am glad you two have something you can do together. Why don’t you go up and take a shower.”

“Why don’t you join me Mrs. Woods?” Lexa asked, holding out her hand for her to take.

Lexa walked behind her up the stairs and into the room they had been sharing before they broke the bed. Her mate was just as insatiable as she was.

As soon as they stepped into the shower her mate was kissing across the marks she had previously left on her shoulders, making her toes curl. Her mate's erection was firmly against her back side but her mate was in no rush to put it inside of her.

Fingers skimmed across her body, as Lexa’s mouth made her core clench around nothing. She was craving the hard length and pressed her body up against it. Lexa’s hand reached to her core, and felt her wetness dragging it up to her clit, and Clarke wrapped a hand around her mate's length.

“Lex,” Clarke moaned her mates name, and Lexa latched onto her back creating a new mark.

Her mate bent down behind her a bit and grabbed her own cock, and Clarke leaned against the wall of the shower and angled her hips back to allow Lexa access. Lexa gently stroked her hip as she pushed inside of her and Clarke moaned out in pleasure.

“We have to be quick,” Lexa warned.

“Took you long enough to take what’s yours Alpha,” Clarke growled, and Lexa grabbed onto both of her hips pushing her upper body against the cool tiles. “Oh fuck,” Clarke moaned because the cool tiles hardened her nipples and the way Lexa was moving inside of her had them brushing against the wall sending little sparks of pleasure through her body.

“I gotta work you up a bit baby. You are still so tight,” Lexa moaned as she worked her way deeper inside of her.

Clarke felt her own orgasm building, and reached down to touch her clit. Lexa was doing a good job of fucking her and keeping her up right. She could use one hand to pleasure herself and another to keep her balanced, as her mate brought her closer to the edge.

“Ohhhh Lex. Fuck me Alpha. Cum inside me please. I miss it. I miss you marking your territory.” Clarke begged.

“You are my Omega,” Lexa growled and Clarke felt a hand wrapping around her hair and then a gentle tug.

“Yours,” Clarke moaned and Lexa captured her lips right as she exploded.

She loved the control Lexa had over her body. The new things that the Alpha tried, and everything they were discovering about one another. She had never realized that sex could be this good. That it could be so addicting.

“You’re so hot, baby. So sexy. I love your body. This little bump,” Lexa said gently cupping the small swell that started to show when she was naked. “Is only going to make you look sexier as you grow.”

Her mate's words sparked something inside of her. A desire to be filled and fucked by her mate over and over again. To proudly show off her swell, and to have Lexa pump out her powerful Alpha pheromones.

“Fill me baby. Again and again. Cum inside this pussy as many times as you want wherever you want.”

“Fuck Clarke,” Lexa moaned.

Clarke grabbed her mate's hand and brought it up to her breast to give it a squeeze. “They are already filling Alpha. Are you going to be the first to taste Clarke Griffin's tits?”

Lexa pulled out of her and quickly turned her around and pressed her against the wall. Her mate used her strength to lift her up and started to fuck her again as she leaned down to suck on her tits. Clarke moaned and wailed as Lexa bit down and then swirled her tongue around a bud before giving the other the same treatment.

“Yes. Fuck. Lexa,” Clarke moaned and scratched at Lexa’s back and sucked her own mark onto Lexa’s shoulder because she couldn’t trust herself not to scream Lexa was fucking her so good.

“Mine,” Lexa growled and sucked some more.

“Please Lex. Please baby, Cum for me,” Clarke begged because she didn’t want to cum again without her mate filling her.

Teeth latched at her neck and Clarke threw her head back as she came. “LEXA!!” Clarke screamed because she couldn’t help herself.

“Mine,” Lexa growled possessively as she filled her up and pumped out her scent filling the washroom with her potent Alpha pheromones.

The water was cold. Lexa had been blocking her from it, and it made sense that the tiles were no longer warm. She had taken a bath while they were gone, and decided to step out of the water. As she towel dried she watched her mate.

Lexa’s cock had grown soft, and her hair fell in front of her face. Lexa then flipped it back and ran a hand through it because turning around and getting the rest of the soap out of her hair. That was the scene. That little hair flip. The exhaustion she saw on her mate’s face. That was exactly what she wanted to capture in the movie.

“Do that again,” Clarke asked. “Just the hair flip. I like the exhaustion.”

Lexa turned to look at her, and she saw her in all of her glory and she bit her lip. “Please Alpha. I promise to do that thing you like later with my tongue,” Clarke bit her lip and pulled out her phone.

“Fine,” Lexa grumbled and did everything the exact same way. Putting her hands on the shower wall, hanging her head, and letting the water fall, before using her hand to wipe away the water from her face, flicking her hair back, and then running a hand through it, before turning around and tilting her head back letting the shower wash away the last bit of soap from her hair.

No surprise her Alpha wanted to see the video… “I don’t see what is so special about it?”

“It’s natural. You look tired, and sexy as fuck. Your abs look perfect when you arch your back and put your hands on the wall, and then the hair flip, while running your hands through your hair. It’s sexy. Naturally sexy, not trying hard, or flexing. Just in the moment, feeling yourself, feeling your emotions. The vulnerability. I think it is perfect.”

“Whatever you say Mrs Director,” Lexa kissed her and pulled back to towel off, and Clarke left the washroom so that she wouldn’t push Lexa against the sink and take her.

She had never really seen Lincoln mad, but this was close… He pointedly looked at her and Lexa throughout dinner because they had used all the hot water, and the tank took forever to heat up. The other option was showering at the other place, but no one wanted to head into Anya and Raven's space, so he wasn’t pleased.

“Next year you're staying at the chalet,” Gustus said to them before turning off the lights, and heading to bed.

No more breaking beds, or using up all the hot water. They would have their own space. Which she would appreciate… Because right now she was blowing Lexa in the living room, and praying no one needed to get a glass of water.

Clarke licked Lexa’s slit and then pulled out her tits to wrap around the Alpha’s cock. This was supposed to be all about the Alpha, but the way Lexa was playing with her nipples she needed her.

“I can’t. I’m sorry,” she said, stopping what she was doing to climb on top of her.

Lexa knew what she was doing. She pulled out a condom and wrapped it down her length before Clarke slowly sunk down on top of it.

Normally her mate enjoyed putting in a lot of work. Lexa liked to show off her strength, she also liked to mark every inch of her body, she could get her mouth on. Being on top was a rare occurrence, but she enjoyed watching as she slowly brought Lexa to orgasm.

She missed the skin on skin. There was nothing better, but sleeping out on the couch, and even if they had their own room. There was less mess. Their parents didn’t need to know they washed their sheets every other night because Lexa made her so wet, and came so hard, that it needed to be done.

“Love you baby. Happy boxing day,” Lexa threw out the condom and took the edge of the couch, since she didn’t want her to fall off.

“Just so you know,” Clarke whispered to Lexa and then wrapped her lips around the shell of her ear. “I prefer my presents unwrapped.”

Clarke giggled as Lexa groaned, her mate then had to readjust herself, and they finally found a comfortable position. She missed their bed. But soon they would be home, and then they would know the gender of their baby.

Chapter Text

Knapp had called her on the first. He wanted to record the superbowl commercial. He knew she wanted to take some time off but he couldn’t wait any longer. They needed to start filming so that everything would be done by game day.

The theme of her commercials… Not that they needed a theme, but it was Mercedes, Making Memories… The first commercial was actually quite touching and bode well with the public.

This second one was going to be touching as well. He wanted to capitalize on the fact that all their family and friends would be over for the gender reveal party. So she asked all of her family and friends to bring a jersey, and a pair of jeans in case they planned to dress up.

Her family were Rams fans… Clarke’s family were Giants fans having come from New York. And then there was Raven who preferred the Texans, Abby was a Seahawks fan and couldn’t be swayed. Octavia was a Bills fan. Murphy was a Packers fan, and was bringing his jersey, and all his Packers gear.

Lexa invited Terro and a couple of guys from the gym. She also invited a couple of Madi’s friends from school because Clarke wanted to meet them, and put faces to names. They had no idea they were filming a commercial, she just told them it was a jersey party, because she knew a couple would be excited.

She also had to invite a couple of the neighbors because a few of the scenes would be shot in their driveway. Knapp was shooting at golden hour and she was jacked up on coffee. Clarke couldn’t have any so she woke up her mate early, and made her tea and then got Madi up because they were going to shoot.

“Do we have to?” Clarke grumbled.

“I’m the one that has to squeeze my ass into that tiny thing that Madi barely fits into,” Lexa complained, but she absolutely loved the idea.

All of her movies weren’t exactly kid friendly. Especially this new one she was training for. If she came across the right script for a family friendly movie she would jump on it. Just because she wanted her daughter to be able to watch something she was in. Something she had made just for her. Maybe she would have time to write something while helping with the baby.

Clarke rolled over to look at her, and she could tell her mate was exhausted. “Happy birthday baby,” Lexa said before giving her a kiss.

“I changed my mind. No party today. No filming today,” her mate groaned and Lexa indulged her for a bit before ripping the blanket off of the bed. “Lexa!” Clarke screamed as she carried the blanket with her into the living room.

Her neighbor's driveway was clear and she parked Clarke’s car, and then her own. Then she got the car Knapp had sent over and ran it over to the neighbor's yard, and they waved to her as she set it up.

Everyone arrived on time. The camera crew got set up at her neighbors house, her sister, Raven, Link and O arrived with more coffee. Jake and Abby arrived as well.

The whole thing was a joke. Super bowl dishes were made. Clarke kept on calling her name to get her out the door, but she was putting on warpaint. Eventually her mate gave up, and Madi pointed at her watch. The mom in Clarke got her daughter buckled in, and then her family piled into the vehicle with her. Abby in the front seat, and her father and Clarke’s father in the back.

“You’re not wearing that are you?” Lincoln asked and she looked down at her Jersey.

Her and her siblings then fought to get out the door and she made it out before them, but they ran towards Raven and Octavia who were driving the convertible and jumped into the back seat just as she was driving off, leaving her without a car.

Lexa was then left with no choice but to get into Madi’s Mercedes that had been left out on the lawn… Knapps team took many videos of Stanley getting him to cock his head just right, and then she had to call him to her a couple of times, and helped him to sit in between her legs.

Knapp would cut the footage to make it look more inviting, and less gated, but she still had to drive up the road of her own driveway in the tiny ass mercedes… And because it was taking too long she decided to improvide and snack on one of the Tostitos… The camera crew got a good video of Stanley pulling his head out of the bag, and looking guilty, and Lexa held both dog and bag of Tostitos in her arm as she rang the doorbell.

Terro looked at her Jersey and shook his head.. Clarke came to the door and smiled and handed her the keys to her car, and Lexa pulled out a different Jersey and walked into the house. She then looked up at the TV and pretended her team scored and ripped off the shirt, showing her fav team, which would likely get brushed out to include whatever teams were playing.

All in all it was a lot of fun. Those that helped them film and arrived early then helped her clean up the house a bit. Raven started to get everything baby prepared in the back yard with Anya, Abby, Octavia, and Paige who had driven down.

Clarke got to meet the moms and dads of Madi’s friends. Her daughter also got to show off her puppy. Her girls were happy. And she was so happy. She had filmed the commercial she had always wanted to shoot.

“The next one is going to be much cooler, Lexa. They want to do Iconic Moments in Film. So Classic cars, classic movies, some newer ones that were part of cool stunts.”

“Sounds awesome,” Lexa smiled.

“It will be… They also want to sponsor your walk… So I would talk to your agent, because they will likely want a promo of some sort… Like safety… For her,” Knapp pointed at Madi, “her,” he said pointing to Clarke, “and her,” he said pointing to Abby… She got the idea. Safety for women.

“So another commercial.” Lexa laughed. “I guess I will just demand the same as my usual fee and spread it out to charities across the city.”

Knapp rested a hand on her shoulder. “I’m proud of you. What you and Josie are doing is important. It’s great advertising for the movie, but I’m excited to walk by your side.”

“Weenie roast at the end,” her father said, cutting in. Both of them burst out laughing and Lexa went to change. Knapp had got his footage and would make it work.

Her pool was open this time. As were the gates. Neighbors from all around came to visit, and enjoy the free food and celebration. It was nice. But she knew they wouldn’t be neighbors for much longer. Her realtor had found 3 houses for her to visit, and she planned on sneaking them in the following day between her work out with Terro, and her dance class with Bruno.

Clarke had asked her to go on a morning show, but she refused. She wasn’t ready. But she did agree to let People Magazine come in and do an article on them. Set the record straight about Madi, and that way it would be released right before the movie.

The bump was showing, and she was so proud. Madi liked to kiss the baby goodnight, when they tucked her in, and it was the sweetest thing. She knew her daughter was going to make the best big sister.

“You excited Lexa?” Anya asked.

“Super,” Lexa smiled, and looked at everything that they had all set up. There was a white sheet, which they weren’t allowed behind. Also 2 tacky tall gold things that Anya said would blow smoke the color of the baby, and then there was the cake.

It was beautiful and white. She wanted a piece of cake. She had spent nearly 2 weeks pigging out at her dads ranch and now she was home and trying to get back into a fitness routine, and healthy eating, and she was craving a slice of cake.

“I’m happy for you. I really am. Sorry I didn’t get it before but… You’re fucking glowing just as much as she is. And I was a little jealous. I miss you Lex. We always shoot movies together. At least one every other year, and the prospect of not working with you just sucked.”

Lexa rested a hand on her sister's shoulder. “I get it. I really do. How about this? If you find a script for a kids movie, and think I would be good for a role in it. I will do it. You will have to talk to Clarke about it… But…. I want my daughter to be able to watch at least one of my films before she turns 16.”

“She won’t be seeing the next one we are filming together. That’s for sure.”

“No. She won’t,” Lexa laughed knowing Madi was now well aware to knock before entering a room… At least it hadn’t been them this time. Lincoln and O were pretty scarred, and likely made sure that both of their birth control was working after that debacle.

Raven came up to Anya and she noticed the mark on her neck, and smiled at her sister and her mate before going to find her own. She wanted to know the gender of her baby… She also wanted a slice of the cake.

Clarke was speaking to one of the moms of the school. Their girls were each holding onto their hands, and looked pretty tired… Golden hour this morning, and golden hour this evening… She just didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes…

“Babe,” Lexa called, getting her attention. “I don’t think I can wait.”

Her mate breathed a sigh of relief. “I am glad you said something. I really want to know.”

“Enjoy,” the mom said, pulling her daughter away so that they could steer Madi with them over to the cake.

“RAVEN!!” Clarke shouted, getting her friends' attention.

Lexa handed her phone to Anya, and Clarke handed hers to Gustus, who needed help from Jake on how to get the camera to not point at him…

“Ready?” Lexa asked Madi, and helped her put her hand on the knife before Clarke put her own hand on it, and she covered Clarke and Madi’s hand with her one. Raven gave them the nod and Lexa pushed down into the cake. Whoever created it was good. No reveal from the first cut, so they had to make another one, and she saw the smoke out of the corner of her eye.

Clarke put her fingers on top of the cake and Lexa angled the knife underneath it. Their friends and family had already noticed what they were having as Clarke and her pulled out the slice of cake.

“A boy,” Clarke whispered.

“I get a baby brother,” Madi smiled and took the piece of cake to show everyone as Lexa leaned in to give Clarke a kiss and place her hand over her swell. Her mate fed her some of the icing and Lexa licked her fingers clean and they shared a look. Everyone needed to go when it was time for Madi to go to bed because they needed some time alone.

“Now all we have to do is think of names,” Lexa kissed her mate again and then cut her a slice of cake and placed it on a plate.

Before she could eat her own slice she had to cut one for everyone else. The smoke was now billowing around the yard, and Lexa noticed blue and white balloons flying over the city. Raven had actually done a great job.

“I think she made up for suping up the go cart.” Lexa said to her mate.

Clarke laughed and then fed her a bite of cake, and then she got them both a second slice, or in Clarkes case a third. Madi had also pigged out on cake, and she was glad that they had ordered a large one. She had expected leftovers, but she was lucky she had got a second slice.

“I put another slice of Cake for Mrs Woods in the gym fridge. Try not to break anymore furniture.” Her dad said and then made his way out of the party after handing her back her phone.

Her mate posted the video on socials, tagging all of their friends and family. It was beautiful. Everything about it was perfect, and Lexa felt so happy and excited. It was hard to kick people out when all she wanted to do was celebrate.

Terro and all the staff at the gym had a banner for her during her workout the next day and she went hard. She pushed herself and added more weights than she normally did and then had a recovery shake and a massage before heading over to the dance studio.

“You know nothing!” The male Omega clearly wanted to shout and give up after showing her a couple moves… She knew absolutely nothing dance related. “Dis will take a month… and even then,” he said, shaking his head as he spoke with his hands.

She was nothing if not competitive. She came into the studio early, stayed late, and worked out on top of it. She ate salad, and chicken, focusing on her greens and recovery. She took pre-workout up until 2 in the afternoon otherwise she would be too wired to sleep.

Clarke had got the script for Murder in the Mountains and was busy rehearsing… Anya of all people would be a prison inmate and her sister was actually looking forward to having a small role again. She also needed something to do because Raven said she was turning into a right bitch at home because her film was getting delayed. Lexa felt guilty because clearly she was the problem with the filming.

“Point your toe!” Bruno said…

“It’s all in the hips…”

“Sloppy frame… Lift your arms. Now keep them square…”

There was so much to work on, and he was really good at yelling. There wasn’t even a song that was picked for the scene. Clarke had yet to decide what modern pop beat or electric rendition of an old song would be used.

Her co-star for the dance scene was Echo Azgeda. The woman carried herself like an Alpha, and Lexa liked her. She was serious. The character she was playing was also serious, which was good. Serious meant no co-workers like Josephine.

“What do you do before you get here? You look exhausted.” Echo stated.

“I go to the gym, then meet up with my mate and have lunch, and then jog over here to warm up.” Lexa explained her routine.

Echo looked at her like she was fucking crazy, and the Bruno raised his eyebrow at her, and had some unreadable expression on his face. They shared a look and then Echo spoke to him before turning back to her.

“We will start at 9 tomorrow, and go until noon. Afterwards. I want to go out for lunch with you and your mate. Make sure she is comfortable with all the scenes, the dance. So on and so forth. Then you are free to work out.” Echo said in no uncertain terms.

“And you may still run. Tis a good warm up,” Bruno said.

That night she told Clarke about it, and her mate agreed. Lexa dropped Madi off at school and then Clark dropped her off at the gym where she left her bag in her locker before running to the dance studio. She had texted Terro, who wasn’t thrilled about changing the times, but promised to make it work for the time being. If he couldn’t do it, another trainer he trusted could.

“Better,” Bruno said, giving her her first compliment.

It had gotten better… Clarke showed up part way through practice, and waved to the dance instructor, and then sat down on the bench. Her mate took out a notebook and started to write in it as she danced and it threw her off a bit.

“Lex… Baby,” Clarke said, getting her attention and Bruno let her have a break because he was clearly frustrated that she wasn’t getting it. “Pretend you are dancing for me. With me. I want this to look good. I know you are struggling and I can see you are working so hard. This is definitely something out of your comfort zone, and you are doing great. Just pretend it’s me baby,” Clarke suggested.

Her mate pumped out her scent filling the room with it making it easier to pretend that it was with her. All she had to do was not look at Echo, and she could do it. She performed the moves she knew. Bruno had her and Echo repeat them a few more times before calling it a day.

“Lunch?” Echo asked her mate.

“Bruno, will you join us?” Clarke asked.

Clarke drove them all to Indras, and Lexa ordered her usual. Echo and Bruno who had never been there before needed more time with the menu, and Clarke had befriended Indra right now who just came up and asked her what she was craving because Clarke confused the waiters by asking for half of one sandwich and half of another one put together.

“The dance scene. I am sure you both have read the script, but to give Bruno some context… Echo is playing the daughter of a drug dealer. Lexa wants to avenge her best friend's death… They both served together in the army, you don’t really need to know his back story,” Clarke said, waving it off as she got a little side tracked. Pregnancy brain was coming on hard.

“Lexa and her rag tag team go to a local hot spot Echo’s character frequents. Lexa looks all sexy and Alpha like wearing clothes similar to those of Echos taste… The woman who has been friendly to Lexa and interested in her without flat out asking her out is also there, and see’s them dancing together. So essentially Lexa will have eyes everywhere during the dance.”

“Basically Lexa is trying to lure me in, clock my fathers guards, and then we do that steamy dance, and she turns me down, pulling away so I don’t kiss her. It makes my character want her more, but Lexa’s freaks because the girl she kinda digs see’s her.” Echo explained.

Clarke started to eat a plate of fries that were brought out for her before speaking. “And I need there to be a lift. Something that shows off Lexa’s muscles and Echo’s body. Nothing is steamier than a good dance scene. To keep with the whole dance/ club vibe we are going to use this song,” Clarke slid Bruno a flash drive that contained the file. “It hasn’t been released yet, and will be after the movie drops. The artist doesn’t mind waiting, as it doesn’t fit with their current album,” Clarke explained and Bruno pocketed the flash drive.

“New stuff… I like it,” Echo added, and the rest of their food arrived, and Lexa wolfed down her sandwich.

Lexa kissed her mate on the cheek and had to leave. Terro was expecting her, and she felt bad for pushing everything back. Her workout was hard, but she didn’t have to go through quite a warm up at the beginning and went straight to work.

For a week straight she stayed with that routine. It helped. Her arms were in the right position, and she pointed her toes and such. Bruno had her practice the lift, repeatedly. It wasn’t some Dirty Dancing lift, but just a lift and spin as Echo stared at her intensely and Lexa ‘s character eventually looks away.

The looks were the hardest part to nail. Bruno had to read the script and there was coloured tape all around the room. It represented each different person. The guards, the girl her character felt something for. Even her character's friends, and the owner of the dance club.

By the end of the month she was ready to dance. Bruno had been a very hard teacher, but he was sure she would nail the scene. He would be there to witness it. It was Clarke’s first foray into directing. She had taken a couple classes, but wasn’t done with her course yet. Anya would be directing the scene with her for now, and Lexa was looking forward to not only getting back on set, but back to the beach.

Chapter Text

Lexa had aced her dance scene. Clarke knew she would but it was amazing. It was the first time that the cast and crew met up to work together. They intended on filming all the scenes at the club in the next two days. It would give Lexa and Echo a couple chances to get the scene right. It would also give them time to have Echo change and the extras switch out to create flashbacks of Echo at the club with different people.

Her mate nailed it. When the music started to play Lexa’s eyes connected with Echo and they came together. Lexa spun Echo around and then did the lift. She made sure to get Lexa’s good angles as her mate spun the Beta woman around the dancefloor.

It was easy for Lexa to play the same character. She could understand why she had been typecast, and hoped that the humor in this role as well as the heartstopping teaser near the end would help her find more versatile roles. Lexa clocked the agents, she whispered in her mic, and then static… Then her mate stepped right on the earpiece and she pressed her body to Echo’s leading her further into the crowd for a different style of dance.

Echo also hit all her marks, and had perfected her lines. Her character was cold, but magnetizing. There had been a couple mishaps but no accidents on set, and she was happy whenever her Alpha pushed the Beta away and walked off the set.

Filming at night wasn’t ideal. Her father and mother were staying with Madi at their place. It wasn’t exactly safe and secure, but Lexa promised her that security was patrolling the set. They had decided to camp out at Lexa’s small home in the back of the surf shop.

“I smelled your jealous pheromones,” Lexa said when she closed the door to the bachelor pad.

Clarke bit her lip. “Is that why you had such a sexy smirk?”

“It helped,” Lexa pressed her hands to her belly and then pulled her in for a kiss before dipping her.

Why did her mate have to turn her on so damn much? She was getting round and everyone knew she was pregnant. She had to get her dress custom made for the premier of their movie. Nothing fancy, just a red dress, and black Louis Vuittons. Lexa would be wearing black Armani, and then they would switch colours at the New York Premiere.

“I want you so bad baby,” Lexa pressed her erection into her for emphasis.

Clarke wanted her mate as well, but this movie was also her baby in a way. So she needed her actor Alpha to be a little more careful with the clothes. She already knew there was likely a little stain on the inside of the pants she wore, that Luna wouldn’t appreciate.

“I do to Lexa, but you can’t tear a hole through your character's pants.” Clarke scolded her but Lexa pumped out her scent and continued her assault on her neck. “No hickies,” Clarke moaned, and wanted to take back her words because Lexa was working her up so well.

Lexa grumbled, and stopped her assault to step out of her pants, and her cock swung free. Clarke wanted to tell her she should have worn underwear, but now she wasn’t complaining. She turned around and lifted up her dress, bunching it at her waist, as her mate swiftly pulled down her thong.

“Mine,” Lexa growled possessively.

Her mate's smell was so potent. So full of want and desire. Clarke needed her inside of her, and thankfully Lexa didn’t tease her today. She stuffed her cunt full of cock, and pounded into her, making the springs of the bed start to squeak.

“Lex,” Clarke begged, unable to touch the spot she needed to be touched.

“Squeeze your tits baby and I will touch you. Give your Alpha a show Omega,” Lexa ordered as she pumped out her scent.

Clarke grabbed onto her own breast and then pinched her nippled. When she reached over to touch the other one her mate reached around her leg, and under her belly in order to touch her clit.

“Yessss,” Clarke moaned, finally feeling some relief.

“Mine,” her mate growled again, becoming more possessive as she rutted into her.

She ran her nails up and down Lexa’s body. One of the few things she was excited about getting done before the premiere. They were long and rounded, and red that would match the lipstick and filler she picked out. Lexa loved them. Especially when she alternated between light touches, and hard scratches.

“Oh baby,” Lexa moaned when she tickled up and down her muscular thighs.

Her own pleasure was soon forgotten as she felt something against her cunt that made her feel dizzy. All of Lexa’s growling and behavior lately was starting to make sense. Just because she was pregnant and didn’t have a heat to go through didn’t mean that Lexa wouldn’t go through rut.

“Fill me Alpha. I’m so empty,” Clarke begged and pushed out her scent.

Lexa growled and grabbed onto her hips and gave one last powerful thrust before she was all inside of her and filling her with her seed. They were locked together and her mate was breathing heavily, as Clarke added just the right amount of pressure to her nipple. It shot straight to her core, and she was cumming with her mate, starting a cycle of orgasms, which she prayed ended before the weekend, because they had a premiere to attend.

“Clarke!” One of the crew called out to her, and Lexa snarled.

“Not a good time!” She shouted back.

Of course it had to be the surfer… Not an Alpha, but a Beta, and one who was Lexa’s underling in the movie. Also someone who needed constant reassurance, or who just wanted to be around her. She couldn’t tell, but he was a few steps away from getting his head ripped off, as he stepped into the surf shack.

“Just wondering if I should wear a shirt tomorrow or not.” The guy said and Clarke wanted to roll her eyes before the guy was likely checking out his own abs right now.

“No shirt,” Clarke said.

“Are you sure?” He asked and pushed open the door as Lexa grabbed the blanket from the bed, and covered her up and turned to face the young Beta.

Her mate pumped out her scent and snarled, before growling, and snapping at the young man. “Get out!!!!” Lexa growled.

She was exhausted by the time she woke up in the morning. Lexa had fucked her so much she knew she was walking funny, and it wasn’t due to being pregant. Her mate knotted her repeatedly and wanted to continue but she had to get up and start her day, because Anya was showing her the ropes.

“No.” Lexa growled, when she left the bed.

“You have a scene to shoot, and then we have to get ready for the premiere,” Clarke was too tired not to snap at her mate, and Lexa looked angrier than she had ever seen her. The lip twitch was rather adorable, and she kissed the trembling lip before pulling back. “If you want to knot my pussy for the rest of the weekend, you will go out there, and surf.”

Clarke was on the beach with Anya as the bro from the day before approached her. “I suggest you stand back from my sister in law before her mate kills you,” Anya said pointing to an angry Lexa who was storming over to them. “Get in the water,” Anya ordered.

Lexa was filling out those trunks and Clarke bit her lip and tried to contain her scent. She wanted her mate. She wanted Lexa so badly, but they needed to get this done. “Go wax your board,” Clarke pointed to the board that was sitting outside the surf shack.

Her mate was good at following orders, and went over to do so but not without comment. “I’d prefer you to,” Lexa winked and she groaned.

“Is she in rut?” Anya asked.

She wasn’t sure… Lexa didn’t smell as potent as before, and she wasn’t as rock hard, but her pheromones were still distracting. They called to her, and her Omega wanted nothing more than to present herself to her mate.

“Not sure. It’s a month late.”

“You’re pregnant.” Anya stated.

“No shit,” Clarke laughed. “We weren’t sure what was going to happen. We just assumed that she wouldn’t go through it as I am clearly pregnant,” Clarke teased to Anya.

“I’ll call dad. You get everyone into position.” Anya said to her before stepping away to make a phone call.

Gustus arrived on the beach before they were set to break for lunch. He strode towards them looking ready to get into the water himself. Aside from Titus all the Woods had bodies made to kill. Gustus was no exception and quite a few eyes looked his way as he walked towards them.

“What’s wrong?” Gustus asked her.

“Lexa’s rut was late, and she seems to be going through it now,” Clarke explained and pointed over to where Lexa was doing pull ups. Her mate was working out harder than she had ever seen her go before, and it was scary beast mode. Growls, and aggressive pheromones kept everyone away.

“She shouldn’t be on set,” Gustus said, like they didn’t already know that.

“We stayed on set last night. That was when it started. We couldn’t really leave,” Clarke explained.

“Okay.” Gustus said.

“What’s going on with her?” Anya asked.

Gustus sighed and Clarke and Anya had his full attention. “Her rut was likely delayed since you are pregnant you don’t need her. Lexa is mated, and trained with the Omega male and Echo… Who are not threats to her or her mate. Now you are on a set with many different male and Alpha scents. The work out should help, her rut should end in a couple days, but the aggression. That will stay. I suggest Clarke take a body guard. One Lexa knows and one that is mated… I’ll call Ryder.” Gustus told them before pulling out his phone and approaching his daughter.

Great… Lexa was now going to be an overprotective mate and she had to deal with it. “If she is going to be this macho aggressive might as well do the gauntlet,” Clarke suggested and pointed off in the distance where there was a ninja warrior style course, and Lexa’s character would run it against a couple of the surf shack dudes. Though the dudes had stunt doubles to do the work for them while Lexa would perform the stunt herself.

“You get Lexa,” Anya stated before getting on the mic.

Lexa was speaking to her father, and by now most of the cast knew they were switching scenes. Her mate looked up at her, and Clarke could see that she was disappointed in herself, and hurried over to pump out her comforting scent.

“Sorry Clarke,” Lexa sighed.

“It’s okay baby. You are just going to run the gauntlet a few times, and then we can go home.” Clarke explained to her mate, and when Lexa grumbled into her shoulder she whispered into her mate's ear, “I will need your help getting clean Lex. I’m feeling pretty dirty.” Which was a factual statement. She couldn’t exactly shower off the night before, and she knew she looked like a mess.

“Oh yeah?” Lexa asked and then kissed her. She could feel her mate growing hard, and she backed up.

“Not now. Go run over to Anya,” Clarke ordered.

Her mate looked down and groaned. It was an awkward run for the first part of it. She didn’t see Lexa’s arms swinging until she was almost at the course. Gustus seemed to notice as well, but was biting his lip. “See you at the premiere. I’ll bring Ryder. Lexa knows him, and he will stay at the house, as part of your protective detail. Hopefully it will help put Lexa’s Alpha at ease, on her need to protect you.”

“Thank you,” Clarke said, embracing the older Woods, before he walked her over to where Anya had the camera crew set up.

The gauntlet was all set up and ready. Her mate had gone through similar obstacle courses in her past, and watched the stunt performers, as she geared up beside Anya.

Anya was a master at getting the camera just right. So that the focus was on the person and also what they were focused on next. These stunts weren’t the wowing kind, just the sort that had the audience looking ahead being like… I can’t do that, or are they going to fall. It looks kind of hard, sort of thing.

Lexa rang the bell after her stunt and looked like a roided out participant. Anya had her go through the scene a couple more times, and Clarke got a perfect view of her ass. Her mate’s cock also looked super confined in her shorts, but her mate was in the zone.

“Okay. Get her out of here,” Anya ordered.

Clarke grabbed her purse, and pulled out a bottle of water for her mate and led her away from the rest of the cast. “Come on Alpha. I need to get home,” Clarke only needed to tell her Alpha she needed something and Lexa jumped into action.

She was guided across the beach and to the parking lot where they had left their car a couple days earlier. They would have to get their stuff another day, or have Anya drop it off at the house for them.

Her mate drove them home as she pulled out her phone to let everyone else know what was happening. She was sure by now that Gustus and Madi were at the studio. Her parents, who were set to watch Madi, would need to do that at their house, and whoever was coming to do hair and make-up would have very little time to do so.

Growls and grunts. Lexa was so damn sexy, but when she was so worked up that words were lost on her, it was incredibly hard to keep her pussy from trembling. Her scent was pushed out as well. She knew it would help her mate. Her Alpha had done her duty. She was pregnant.

“That’s it Alpha,” Clarke encouraged Lexa to knot her, and seal them together. It was uncomfortable in the shower, but she could at least convince the Alpha to wash her hair and body. At least the parts that she was able to reach.

“Mine,” Lexa growled and claimed her neck. Just when she thought her Alpha was done, Lexa was pumping out her scent and warning people off

It didn’t take her long to realize that the team had arrived…. “Calm Alpha. You can knot me again later, but we have somewhere to be.”

“Don’t wanna go,” Lexa growled and pulled her tighter against her.

“We have to Lexa. You and me. We are the movie, and if you want a chance to work with me again, and claim me in front of the world, we have to go.”

Lexa scrunched up her face, and she looked so similar to her daughter. “Fine,” Lexa grumbled and then held her against her body, and thankfully her Alpha was able to slip from her a few minutes later.

Getting ready was a struggle. Lexa had to go get ready in what she had called Anya’s room. It seemed that the siblings each had a room in each other's houses for if they needed to crash. She respected that a lot about the Woods family. They were close. Even if it didn’t seem like it some days.

Dante arrived to pick them up in his Limo right on time. They were running a little late, and her mate looked ridiculously sexy all in black aside from a tie. Clarke had plans for that tie later. Little did her mate know.

“Stop pushing out your scent.” Lexa growled, and Clarke hadn’t even realized she had been doing so, but she was so hot for her mate. So ready for her to take her.

“Sorry Alpha. I’m just thinking about all the ways you are going to take me later,” Clarke tried to sound as innocent as possible, and her mate groaned and adjusted herself in her pants. “Love you babe. Just have to walk the carpet, take some photos, talk to some people, and then get inside.”

Her Alpha grumbled the rest of the way to the premiere, and Clarke worked on keeping herself composed. It wouldn’t be to ruin not only her hair and make up but Lexa’s as well. All they had to do was walk into the building.

Which was easier said than done. Lexa opened the door of the limo when they arrived, and then held out her hand to help her out. As soon as she stepped out of the vehicle they were bombarded with flashes from the photographer's cameras.

Lexa growled a little and pumped out her scent comforting her, but also warning people off. Her Alpha pulled her to her side, and they marched forward together. Her mates eyes glued to the building they had to get to while her own looked out at the reporters, offering them a wave and a smile.

“Almost there,” Clarke praised her mate, and placed a hand at her back as they made their way to the promo screen Anya, Gustus and Raven were getting a picture in front of.

The Woods extended the invitation for them to join and they did. Then they got a few of just the two of them as the press wanted, and then just a couple of just Anya and Lexa. Both Alphas looked like they would rather be anywhere else than beside one another. Their scents pushing out until a couple of the reporters started to cough, and Clarke had to combat their scents with her own to try and keep them both calm.

“Cool trick Griffin,” Raven teased.

Clarke rolled her eyes at her friend's antics. “You’re just jealous that your pheromones don’t have an instant effect.”

“Please,” Raven said and then flipped her hair over to one side. “Like I need the extra help. Just look at her,” Raven gestured to Anya, who was looking right at Raven while doing a quick interview with Lexa by her side.

“Clarke. Miss Griffin,” a reporter called her name, and she turned with a smile on her face ready to face the press. “Wow your poster doesn’t do you justice,” the man said starting with flattery. “Is it true that you lent your voice to the song in the opening credits of the trailer?”

“Yes,” Clarke replied, and then just to not give him a one word answer she continued a little bit always knowing that the press wanted more. “I did a couple of versions of the song which my father wrote for the film. I also played the guitar as well as sang in my small role in Country Roads, which aired this past summer and got renewed for a second season.”

“Will you be back in season 2? It ended on quite a cliffhanger,” a different reporter asked, who either watched the show or did her homework.”

“I will, but I won’t be able to film for a couple more months,” Clarke lied and placed a hand over her belly.

“When are you due? Who is the father?” A guy further back asked.

She felt a presence standing behind her, and Lexa pushed out her scent covering her with it, making the reporters all take a step back. “I am the sire,” Lexa said whilst she wrapped her arm around her, before they looked at one another and shared a kiss.

“Miss Griffin you revealed this year you already had a child before getting together with your co-star? How are you and the child's other parent handling your whirlwind romance with known bad girl Lexa Woods?”

“Lexa is my mate, and also my future wife. Madi has been officially adopted by Lexa, and anything else you wish to know about Lexa’s relationship with Madi will be revealed in the next issue of People.” Clarke answered for them without revealing anything.

The interview with People had been a nice sit down. They got out everything they needed to say, and both herself and Lexa had read the article before it got sent to print. Both of them were happy with the way it turned out, but they promised them an exclusive, and she wanted to build a good relationship with the magazine, because she didn’t need them to write a scathing article about them down the line.

“My mate and I are going to go enjoy the film,” Lexa said, leading her away from the reporters, and down the last stretch, before heading inside the theater.

Inside of the building they followed the ushers, but her mate pulled her aside before they could actually get to their seats. Clarke followed Lexa up a set of stairs and into the booth where other trailers were currently being played as they waited for the seats to fill.

“Out,” her mate ordered the man sitting there waiting for everyone to fill in before he had to do his job. “But someone has to start the film,” he argued as Lexa picked him up and pushed him out of the room.

“I can handle it,” Lexa growled.

Once he was out of the room her mate pumped out her scent and trailed kisses down her neck. “Lift up that dress beautiful,” Lexa kissed her, demanding she comply and Clarke was too turned on to deny her.

Lexa fished her cock out from her pants, but kept them on, before approaching her. She then walked her over to the chair the man was previously occupying before holding her hard cock up for her to sit on.

“Show me how you handle everything Alpha,” Clarke pushed out her scent and her Alpha growled and thrusted into her.

Clarke was taken in the room again and again until the poor man was knocking, and asking them to play the movie. Lexa growled as she came inside of her, sealing them together with her knot before looking at the computer, and it took the two of them to figure out how to start the movie.

Once her mate was able to slip from her cunt she used her mate's pocket square to clean herself up a bit before rearranging her dress. She pulled out her compact and checked her makeup before meeting her mate at the door.

Anya Raven and Gustus had their seats waiting for them and they came partway through the movie, apologizing to everyone as they went by them. The movie was a hit with everyone in the crowd clapped and wanted their attention after, but Lexa pumped out her scent warning them all off.

“Thank you for watching, but we need to get back to our daughter,” Lexa lied for them and they raced out of the theater, and her Alpha knotted her inside of the Limo on the way back to the house tying her up with her tie, and squeezing her breasts so much that Clarke worried her milk would come in earlier this pregnancy.

Chapter Text

Everyone came over to her place to watch the superbowl. She was able to get back to work for a couple of days, and she invited some of her co-workers over as well. Echo, and a couple of the stunt doubles. Just not the guy who asked if he should wear a shirt or not.

As far as superbowl commercials went, she felt like it was up there. It was funny. Her friends and family laughed with her, and Madi let some of the younger kids ride around in the vehicle. Stanley once again got to eat some Tostitos, but these ones were given to him and not taken out of the bag.

Bernices was full up for Valentines day. Clarke was there with her when she dialed in, and they put in an order for take out to be picked up. Not to mention they were supposed to be in New York, and likely wouldn’t make it back in time. So… They ordered food for the flight, to try and keep a tradition of at least ordering from Bernices going.

If they didn’t have Madi with them on the flight they would have went to the tail and fucked it out on the bed. Instead her frisky mate kept making eyes at her. Raven, Anya and her father who were also on the flight would have understood. It was Valentine's Day, and they could barely make it to the hotel room.

Madi had helped them eat all the dessert on flight. The attendant reheated everyone's food for them. Steak… And her father had booked them all in a swanky restaurant in New York for dinner after the premiere.

Thankfully her mate wouldn’t be outside for long. Pictures and interviews would be done inside. Gaia would watch Madi during the premiere, and afterwards. Thankfully they had someone they trusted to watch Madi.

At this premiere they had more questions to answer. Thankfully Anya was the one to save them both. There were so many people at the premiere. Clarke felt Lexa right beside her, and she got to lean her head against Lexas shoulder throughout the interviews, and during the film.

Yes they were engaged. No, they didn’t set a date. Yes, Madi is biologically Lexas child, and so is the one growing in her belly. Really none of the reporters had an interesting thing to say about the movie.

Critics didn’t have a bad thing to say about it. Lexa was getting her normal action movie praise, and Clarke never imagined such a buzz over her acting. Then there was the hype over the song. Her father was using the press to promote hype around his new full length album and teased about going on tour. Even herself and Anya got to talk a little about their newest project. Together.

Which they had to race back on the jet to film. They got to go on Fallon the following night, and then they were on the jet. It had been fun, they played a sort of newlywed game. Lexa got to talk about her workout regime. She got to talk about lack thereof and all of her favourite pregnancy cravings.

Lexa did well. Her mate had never done a talk show, and Fallon was likely the tamest one. Her mate didn’t need to go on The View and get picked apart by a bunch of older ladies. Though she didn’t exactly share Lexas views on talk shows she understood, and was grateful that she did this one.

On March 1st Anya gave everyone the day off. Their movie had made over 400 Million in sales internationally and they had a budget of just under $150,000,000. If that movie had been a success Anya expected this one to be, and took everyone out to celebrate. Her goal was to build more hype amongst the cast. There were still a couple weeks of shooting left, and… Anya wanted her to film Lexas scene without her, or anyone else around.

Her Alpha got naked and started to shower. The water was cold by the time that Clarke got all the footage, but her body was hot. Lexa purposefully stayed under the cold water. She had nailed the look like she had in Colorado. The hair flip, running her fingers through her hair. Ughhhh it was good.

“Mrs Woods. Do you need anything?” Lexa teased.

“You know damn well what I need,” Clarke snapped.

She hadn’t been able to pleasure herself in a while. She liked Lexas help in the shower to clean herself, and well, any excuse to have the Alpha touch her body she took it. To the point that Lexa helped her get dressed in the mornings.

“I think I need to hear you say it?” Lexa teased. Stopping the shower and putting a towel around her lower half her mate stepped towards her.

Clarke eyed the cabin, and then the parking lot. Could she make it home? No… She didn’t think so.

“Lex. Please make me cum. I’m so horny and I don’t think I can make it home.” Clarke begged.

Lexa gave her a knowing smile before grabbing her things and carrying them over to the door. The camera man she hired had been excused already, but she knew he saw them sneak into the shack. She also knew that he was well aware of her predicament.

Her mate sat her down on the small bed they had stayed on the night before, and pulled down her panties. Lexa used her tongue to work her up and then added her fingers. When she curled them she got even wetter.

“Please Lexa, no teasing.”

“But you teased me, Clarke. I could smell how much you wanted me. Poor Oz knows exactly what is going on here.”

“Lexa Woods you get me off this instant or this will be the last kid for the next 5 years,” Clarke threatened, and then softened. “You promised to take care of my every need, and I am very needy right now.” Clarke purred and ground her hips.

Her mate growled and then Clarke found her position being adjusted and she heard the towel drop on the floor. She was wet enough for Lexa to slip inside of her with little resistance. Her mate thrust slowly at first, and then picked up her pace pulling her back into her before reaching around to rub her clit.

“Yessss,” Clarke moaned.

Lexa moaned behind her. She loved her moans. She squeezed her cunt tighter and released, doing it a few times. She loved when Lexa would groan. The way the hand on her hip would pull her back into her with more force.

They had yet to get really rough with one another. Lexa had slapped her ass a few times and she enjoyed that, but she wanted to be rough with Lexa. To see if she would let her tie her up. She wanted to have Lexa at her mercy, and tease the hell out of her. She wanted her Alpha to beg, because she loved hearing her beg.

“So close Lex,” Clarke moaned. Just thinking about tying Lexa up to the bed that they had at home had her close to the edge.

“Clarke,” Lexa moaned her name in answer, and she knew that the Alpha was close as well.

“Together,” Clarke demanded.

When Lexa came inside of her, she finally let go. Her walls rippelled around the cock that filled her with seed. Maybe by next year she would be this round again, or maybe. Just maybe, they would wait a year, film another movie together, and then take time off to enjoy being parents.

“Mine,” Lexa sighed against her back and then kissed up to the shell of her ear.

Nope… She doubted they would be waiting.

Lexa worked her up to another orgasm, and Clarke cleaned her cock with her mouth and promised her more sex later at home. But only after dinner.

They stopped at the party, and she told Anya about the scene. She would have someone else edit it. Echo was wasted. But Echo was fun. Clarke danced with her and Raven one time, and then her mate surprised her by busting out some of the moves that Bruno had taught her. Then she had to go home, because she had to have her again. Fuck she was horny.

Clarke got her fill of Lexa. Both that night, and again in the morning before they showered together. Gaia was busy taking Madi back and forth to school. The most time they spent with their daughter was sadly just at dinner, or bed time if they were able to make it home.

Josephine had been coming around the house more. Lexa got measured for an outfit that Josephine wore for the cover of the movie they filmed together. While Josephine got measured for a suit that Lexa wore in the movie. Heels were sent over for Lexa to try, and her mate hated all of them. No surprise to her.

Many people had sponsored Lexa. Not only had Mercedes sponsored the upcoming walk, but they donated. Gustus was walking, Lincoln, Anya. All the Woods aside from Titus were walking. The director of their film Knapp was set to walk. Monty, Jasper, and a couple of the crew. Murphy, and even Jensen were coming out to walk. It was going to be so good.

There was only one slight problem. She was due two weeks after the walk was set, and Lexa decided to surprise them with a new house.

So… Not only was she helping Lexa out with the charity walk, she was directing, packing, unpacking, helping their daughter, training their puppy… And there were just a few things she wanted for herself.

She just wanted a couple things for herself. Since she felt too fat to go to Pilates she ordered a machine to be delivered to their new house. One that Lexa would have to set up. Her mate had surprised her with the baby room all set up, but she had just painted the baby room in the last house, and wasn’t too pleased with Lexa’s surprise.

It was a house, yes. It had a baby room close to their room. A toy room as well. All on the main floor. The house checked so many boxes, but she was at the emotional part of her pregnancy. The ugly part. The part where Lexa would likely take back her wanting to have 2 more children in the next couple of years.

“So… How do you like the new place?” Anya asked.

The question wasn’t bad… It just brought up a lot of feelings. She was supposed to do some speaking at the event. Mercedes had reached out to her, as Lexas mate and wanted her to share any experience she felt comfortable with. Josephine was doing it, and they had reached out to Echo who was currently filming with Lexa.

She had been speaking to Derrek for a couple months now. Mainly about her communication with Lexa. She didn’t want to spiral during pregnancy, and now she was spiraling. She told Derrek about what they wanted, and he thought it was a good idea. It was. She just had a million things on her mind, and Anya had to ask her about one of the things that was frustrating her the most.

Lexa found them the perfect house on paper, but it didn’t feel perfect. She had painted the baby's room. In the Alphas washroom was where they patched up Madi, and their daughter found out she was going to be a sister. And most importantly. The house didn’t smell like Lexa. It wasn’t saturated in Alpha pheromones the way that Lexas house was.

“What did you do to her?” Lexa growled and pushed her sister.

Clarke realized she hadn’t said a thing. She had been in her own head. Anya defended herself, and thankfully Lexa didn’t continue to go Alpha on her sister. Instead both of them kneeled in front of her, and Clarke realized she had fallen to the ground.

Her mate pumped out soothing Alpha pheromones. “She is too stressed,” Anya said.

“You think I can’t see that,” Lexa turned back to her sister.

It was embarrassing to have your father and father in law pick her up from the set, but she had to go home. She couldn’t focus on work, anymore than she could focus on what they were filming.

“I just want to go home,” Clarke cried.

Her dad wasn’t really a handy guy. He was a singer. He could do some gardening, but when she broke down about the baby room and her painting, Gustus brought a couple more buddies over and left her in bed with a milkshake.

When she finally finished her milkshake and it was nearing the time that Madi normally got home, she noticed that a wall in the nursery was missing. The wall that she painted. Her dad was in there holding up a putty tool with the biggest smile on his face. There were other guys there, and she couldn’t remember the last time she had seen her dad bonding with other men.

Clarke started to cry, and was surrounded by her father, and then Gustus came into the house carrying sheets of drywall. He put them down to give her a hug as well.

“We got you Mrs. Woods. Stanley is out for a walk. Madi and Gaia are picking up some pies. Abby is driving things back and forth to set so that Lexa can scent mark them, and your mom can set them up in the new place with Raven.” Gustus said.

“It takes a village sweetie,” her father said.

“More like the village people,” One of Gustus’s friends joked and flexed.

“Young Omega… There's no need to feel down,” Jake teased.

“Yongon,” Gustus smiled.

All the men broke out in song, and Clarke soon stopped crying and started to laugh. They had helped. Both her father and father in law had heard her, and didn’t judge her. They ripped apart a damn room for her.

Fuck… This baby was loved.

When Madi got home she stuck close to her daughter. She wouldn’t be going back to set. Not for the duration of filming. Anya had her shoot all the scenes she needed her to shoot. There were other opportunities to learn from her sister in law. Madi would get to occupy her time, and she could be there more for her daughter, and get her opinion on baby names.

“I like Aden.”

“Aden?” Clarke asked.

She didn’t mind the name herself. It wasn’t one that her and Lexa had thought of, but she wanted Madi to have some sort of input maybe. When Lexa got home she ran the name by her, and her Alpha smiled, and pressed a kiss to her belly. “Aden Griffin Woods.”

The following day she wasn’t alone. Raven, Octavia, her mother, Lincoln, Gustus, and her father, all got to work around her house. There were just some things you only trusted your family with. Madi’s special Christmas ornament. The box of Lexa’s ornaments. Her guitar. Simple things.

There were also not so simple things. Her mother and Raven had done a good job of getting the place to start to smell like Lexa, but it still wasn’t good enough. So… They brought small things to set that Lexa could continue to scent mark, as Jake, Gustus, Lincoln, and Octavia moved furniture around for her in the way she wanted.

Stanley was a handful. But at least at this new place, they had a backyard. The pool was also gated. Which was a huge relief for her. The puppy followed her around everywhere she went, but he was growing, and now an awkward size. She no longer had to lift him up onto the couch with her. He could get up on his own, and he always nosed her belly.

“Soon,” she promised him, and stroked her belly as she watched her family help get everything set up the way she wanted it.

Small arguments ensued. The Woods family all had opinions on TV height. Since her father wasn’t one to care that much about TV he was holding it with Octavia, as Gustus and Lincoln argued.

“From here, Lexa gets the perfect view of the game as she cooks in the kitchen,” Lincoln said and told Octavia to lift it up just a bit.

Gustus just had to use his hand to gesture to her father to lower it. “From there Clarke has the perfect view of the TV while she breastfeeds.”

It really didn’t matter much to her, but listening to other people argue over something so small, made all of her problems go away… Except one.

She couldn’t really speak to O about this. Not when everyone else was around. She wasn’t even sure if the Omega really knew what happened, but she planned to speak about it, just a little. Since Octavia would be at the event she didn’t want to shock her. It was supposed to be a day of women empowerment, and understanding.

“I’m purchasing a TV lift. Why don’t the men go out to get everything and some lunch. O can you help me put things away in the kitchen?” Clarke asked. She pumped out her Omega scent, and everyone started to agree. A lift was the only suitable option. Thank goodness for google, and their little shopping tab.

“See you ladies in an hour,” Lincoln smiled and kissed Octavia before getting in her own fathers SUV to go and pick up the TV Lift. Surely they would argue over that, and the one she picked out would simply be left at the store for something they deemed better quality. Woodses….

Octavia came to sit with her on the couch and petted Stanley. “You have to stay home to lower your stress, yet they argue about TV height,” Octavia joked.

“O… There is no easy way to say this, but I was asked to speak at the walk. A few of us were. Josephine, Echo, and a couple local people that have been helped by the charity will be speaking about our experiences. I… I need to tell you exactly what happened at the wrap party, before I tell everyone else.”

“Bellamy?” Octavia asked.

“Yea,” Clarke said before telling her about everything that happened.

“That bastard!! I could kill him,” Octavia swore.

“It's over. I won’t name him, but it likely will be talked about. I didn’t want to talk about it after it happened. My friends saved me. Bellamy likely had a drunken lapse of judgement. You said he checked into rehab… I don’t wish to work with him again, but in order to try to keep other workplaces safe, and to help others in any way I can. I will tell my story.”

Octavia rested a hand on hers. “I support you,” Octavia said kindly.

They didn’t do any work in the kitchen. They spoke about Octavia and Lincoln's upcoming vacation before Lincoln had to get back to filming. Her mother had found happiness in chatting with the screenwriters. It had inspired her to write. Her mother had always been an avid reader, and she hoped that this new phase of her life would bring her much joy and happiness. All of her friends and family deserved as much.

Lexa joined her at the new house that night. They decided to have the grandparents head back to their old place to tuck Madi in. One of them would take her to school the following morning. She needed her mate beside her in the new bed. Lexa scent marked the entire place, pumping out her scent, until she got tired, but Clarke finally settled and slept awkwardly half on top of her mate.

It was the most comfortable she had been in their new place, and soon they wouldn’t be alone in it. Madi would move in on the weekend. Gaia would also be moving into the in-law suite. And soon little Aden would be joining them as well. In his own room that his grandpas had stripped down and put back up, and that her mother and Raven were set to help her repaint. After she finished her touch ups of course.

Everything was starting to feel more homey. Which was of course the goal. But it felt less like a home when she woke up all alone. All she had to do was message her father or Gustus, and people would be over in a minute, but she needed a moment to herself. Lexa had written her the sweetest note she had ever woken up to in the morning.

Chapter Text

Near the end of March she was set to do her walk. Clarke had helped her with her outfit, and helped to make the heels more comfortable. She was convinced they were death traps, and didn’t want her mate to wear them anywhere. Not even at their wedding, which they had yet to plan. It didn’t matter to her when it happened. She wasn’t in a rush, and she certainly wouldn’t be rushing through the mile in the heels she had to wear.

Josephine Lightbourne had become a friend. Sort of…

Clarke tolerated the woman's presence more and more. It perhaps helped that Lexa felt uncomfortable around the Omega at times. Something that Clarke enjoyed watching when it happened. On occasion she swore they plotted together. Which was a lot better than them plotting to kill one another.

Jake Griffin, her father, and her brother were all there with her at the starting like with Knapp. Anya, who was an Alpha that enjoyed wearing heels, was waiting for them at the end.

Her Omega would be there with their daughter, and the son she carried in her belly. Clarke would likely be eating all the hotdogs Raven was supposed to be cooking. Her mate's appetite had grown, and only increased its junk food input as she got bigger. Clarke was an emotional eater she discovered.

The media had been invited, and at noon during the hottest point in the day she, and 1,000 other participants started their walk. Camera men darted into the street, and Josephine's voice could be heard through the many speakers they set up on the closed street.

Omega after Omega told their story. She could feel the other Alphas. They were as moved as she was. Some of them were regretful for past behaviour, but they kept each other up. As a group, they marched on. They helped one another up, and they kept going. This wasn’t about Alphas. It was about Omegas, and women in general. All of them had mothers. Some of them were lucky enough to have sisters, and daughters, and Lexa didn’t want Madi to deal with the harassment that her mother, and others had to endure.

It was her Omegas turn to speak now. Lexa knew her speech. She had listened to her, and gave her reassurances. She had promised to never let her face anyone alone, and to always support her. No matter what.

“And that is why—- *Sploosh* ahhh. Oh my god.” Clarke cried and Lexa felt her pain.

The mic had some terrible feedback and then Josephine spoke. “Lexa… Not to rush you, but the baby is coming. Clarke wants you to hurry up and finish.”

“NO!! I never want her to finish again!!” Clarke screamed.

As one all the Alphas started to pity her, and there was an understanding. They picked up the pace. Lexa started to run, and trip and her father and brother were there to help pick her up. Jake speed walked beside them and kept on repeating the phrase he had said from the start.

“It’s all in the toes. It’s all in the toes,” he said.

She hated heels. It was official. How were women supposed to run if someone was pursuing them? Heels were dangerous.

With the finish line in sight Lexa pushed. She was supposed to get photos with everyone. That wasn’t going to happen now. Almost there. She told herself and kept pushing forward.

As a family they crossed the line, and as a family they jumped into Ravens rover. Clarke was on her way to the hospital with Abby and Anya. As one they took their feet out of the awful devices, and were promptly kicked out of the hospital for not having proper footwear. So they had to put the heels back on. Which was its own sort of torture.

“And she wants more!!” Clarke growled and then screamed. The nurse taking them to the room gave her a pitying look, and Lexa took a deep breath before opening the door to the room.

“You could have taken those off,” Clarke growled.

“They wouldn’t let me in without shoes!” Lexa complained, and then was right at her Omegas side taking Anya’s place as the Omega screamed.

Thankfully her sister left, and there was just herself and Abby being squeezed in Clarke’s deathgrip. Her Omega screamed, and screamed, until their son's little cries filled the room.

“Hello Aden,” Lexa smiled as she pumped out her scent filling the entire room with it until she was scolded by the doctor. “Your mother did an excellent job bringing you into the world, and caring for you in her belly. Why don’t you open your eyes for her?” Lexa cooed at the little man as she brought him over to Clarke.

Her Omega opened up her arms and she placed Aden in them. He was a good boy already. He opened up his eyes and they were a mirror of her own. He had Clarke’s blonde hair and he was perfect. Just perfect.

“Thank you Clarke,” Lexa gingerly handed her son back to his mother and perched herself overtop of her Omegas bed. She watched her son with Clarke, as she received from the labour. Their little boy would hopefully continue to take after his mother in looks and talent, and maybe his grandfather Jake could teach him to make his cries more melodic.

Madi was the first to hold her baby brother. Then her father, then Abby, and then Jake. After they didn’t care who was next as long as they all didn’t all come at once.

Sleeping through the night was a thing of the past. Aden slept in their room until he was 6 months of age. The only time she left the house other than taking her daughter to school was to accompany Clarke to award shows.

Her Omega had worked hard to get her body back into shape. She had seen her struggle and helped console her on the days she wanted to break down and cry. Seeing Clarke struggle she started to buy mini chocolate bars just so that Clarke could indulge every month of the year instead of just October.

“Christmas is coming up,” her Omega reminded her as soon as December 1st came around. “Just so you don’t get any ideas… No snowboards. No puppies, and we get the guest Ranch. I don’t care if anyone goes into heat. I want to enjoy some moments alone with you and our children.”

Lexa smiled at her mate. “No couch blowjobs where anyone can just walk in and watch? I’m sure your aunt Paige will find a way.” Lexa teased.

Clarke kissed her and Lexa forgot all about the cookies she was making for the bake sale. They burned, and she set off the smoke detector. Her mate enjoyed all the good ones while she ran around the house opening up all the windows.

“I think you will just have to settle on store bought, just like all the other parents,” Her Omega teased and placed a container by Madi’s lunchbag so she could at least look like she had made them.

Aden for the most part went to work with her. Gaia would sometimes watch him and take him between her office, and whenever Clarke was working on set. Her Omega became in demand and Clarke got to choose what roles she wanted. Which meant she was likely going to be a stay at home Alpha for longer than she had anticipated, but she loved her kids. Work would keep her away from little moments like watching Aden take his first steps.

Christmas at the Ranch was filled with family and laughter. Lincoln and Octavia had eloped. Raven and Anya were now engaged. Clarke had yet to set a date, but Lexa was more than fine being her mate.

Her sense of smell was something she would never take for granted again. Clarke’s scent calmed her down in an instant. She was also able to smell her children and knew where they were upset, or needed her. It was incredible how long she had gone without it.

Year one of being a stay at home Alpha was a success. She got to help write the script for the sequel she would be starring in with Clarke. Lexa was determined to make that her next movie, and hopefully the transition of her getting back into acting.

As much as she struggled along with Clarke to try and find Madi a school, they were now struggling looking for a day care for Aden. Their son was great. He was just little and all of the schools wanted to know what their goal was for him in the future.

Did they want him to attend Ivy League? No

Did they want him to make the honor roll? Sure.

Really they just wanted him to be happy, healthy, and safe. None of the private Preschools were straight forward. Her son ate sand and backwashed into every drink. He also preferred running around the house naked, and she would often find him without clothes on. So no. She doubted Ivy League schools were in his future.

“There’s my little man,” Clarke got down on her knees and opened up her arms for Aden to toddle into. “Any luck?” Clarke asked her.

She shook her head. They had no luck when it came to schools for their children. Madi was happy in her school, and had made friends. The parents weren’t so bad. She had a group of moms that ‘saved her’ from the other moms. A few of the dads she worked out with some days, but most of their suggestions for Adens day care fell through.

“We could always hire someone.” Clarke suggested.

No… They had agreed that they both trusted Gaia, but finding another person they trusted to be in their home constantly… She would rather stay home with Aden. It wasn’t so bad before he could walk, but now that he could walk he was getting into everything, and had escaped from her office the previous weekend.

“Maybe we should just build a daycare here. It would help all the signed actors and actresses.” Lexa suggested.

Her mate picked up their son and leaned up to kiss her. “I love that idea. You have no idea how hard it was with Madi.”

“I’m starting to understand,” Lexa said seriously before following her mate into her trailer.

Aden munched on his french fries, as Clarke wolfed down a burger. Her mate had been rehearsing lines when she brought over lunch. They spent a lot of lunches together, but not as many as one person might think. Clarke could run late, or have to eat early, and she tried to keep to a schedule for Adens sake.

“Well Titus won’t go for it. He just cut a third of our budget. I don’t mind cuts. I can go without flowers in my trailer every week.”

“I sent those. Not Titus,” Lexa grumbled. “I know it sucks to have funding cut midway through a project. If anyone can get through it, it is Murphy.”

“We will make due. I like working on his indy projects. They are a lot of fun.” Clarke smiled.

“Let me know when you need me to play some masked bad guy. At least this one isn’t a western.”

Clarke eventually had to leave and Lexa mused with the idea of making a daycare. They could charge something reasonable. Hire responsible adults to watch the kids. It would work. It just couldn’t be on the studio lot for safety reasons.

Life continued to surprise her. Clarke usually found a way to show her appreciation for her daily troubles. So much happened every week. Aden had many milestones and she was there to witness everyone.

Madi started to take acting classes, and her father was actively looking at more projects for his star of a granddaughter to be in. Clarke was warming up to the idea of Madi acting, more than she was.

It was hard to let go of things. To tell her Alpha not to be anxious. To let her mate fly off to different projects without her. She had to remind herself that she was doing her best to keep her family safe, and happy.

Her life was better than she had planned. She hadn’t thought about drinking in a long time. Clarke always made it a point to support her, and she had never felt more seen in her life.

Clarke was her mate, her Omega. Her perfect happily ever after.
