Chapter Text
It had been an exhausting night. Not unlike any other in the life as the free leader of the world. Being Heda has its challenges. Her body was never more tired than at this moment. The morning is quiet in Polis. There's a nice cool breeze tonight. Lexa kept the balcony door open, inviting it in. She can hear the light rustling of furs. The room illuminated by the light flickering of a single candle on the nightstand.
She revels in the warm feeling of the body wrapped around her. The girl nuzzles her head further into her neck and she smiles in her sleep. The night, unfortunately, went downhill very quickly and their lives would never quite be the same.
She hears the scuffling of guards outside her door. Which is very unusual for this hour. There shouldn't be a guard change for a few hours. Then she hears the hushed whispers in the hall that turn into hushed yelling.
"Em cannot hod op taim morning onya. Disha ste imperative. Yu souda wake her nau!." (She cannot wait until morning Anya. This is imperative. You must wake her now!) Titus seeths
"Ai said ai would handle em! yu laik hir kom advise titus no kom make decisions.." (I said I would handle it! You are here to advise Titus not to make decisions.) Anya snaps
"Em cannot hod op!." (it cannot wait) Titus bellows
Suddenly there's a knock at the door
"Heda," Titus says
Lexa grumbles and ignores the voices.
"Heda!" Titus says a little louder as he knocks with more urgency
Suddenly the loud sounds of a child crying are heard from the crib in the far wall of the room
Lexa sighs and carefully moves the sleeping girl off her and pulls the furs over her naked body. She quickly puts on her nightgown that was discarded on the ground hours before. She moves to the crib and picks up the child and starts bouncing her and making their way to the door.
"Hush ai goufa. Em's nou time kom wake yet." (Hush my child. It's not time to wake yet) She coos softly to the very distraught child
The baby grabs her long finger and puts it in her mouth and tries to bite down. The joys of a teething child she chuckles.
"Gentle Beja Bekka." (Gentle please Becca) She says looking into the babies green eyes
She throws the door open to her room and shoots a glare
Titus bows his head "Heda, I'm sorry." He says
"I'm not the one you need to apologize to," Lexa says bouncing the baby gently in her arms
"Moba Bekka." (Sorry Becca) Titus says
Anya holds her arms out and Lexa hands the baby over. Lexa clasps her hands behind her back.
"Chit ste em nau?" (what is it now) Lexa asks
"Skaifaya." (sky fire) Titus says as he gulps quickly
"They're here?" Lexa asks furrowing her brows
"Sha Heda," Titus says
"Where?" Lexa snaps
"They landed in Trikru territory," Anya says
"How many?" Lexa asks
"Appears to be about 100 of them. All of them appear young," Anya responds
"Clarke said there were far more on the Ark. Are you sure?" Lexa asks
"Sha Heda. That's what the scouts say. Maybe they haven't all come down?" Anaya says with a shrug
Lexa hums and paces back and forth
"They are not to be harmed in any way. They fall under my protection until further notice. Make it known. I want scouts to update me. I want to know if they have weapons and if they're dangerous. Keep them away from any villages." Lexa says
"They're near Tondc," Titus says
Lexa nods
"I will speak with Clarke. I'm sure she will want to see them." Lexa says
"Are you sure this is wise Heda? She hasn't been with them for years. They could be hostile." Titus warns
"Time will tell. They'll reveal their true nature to us. Ready the horses. You shall escort Clarke to Tondc Anya." Lexa says
"And what of this little one?" Anya asks rubbing Becca's cheek
"She will stay with me. She favors her Nomon(mother)." Lexa says smugly
Anya chuckles ", Don't let Clarke hear you say that."
"Is that all Titus?" Lexa asks
"Sha, Heda." He says
"You are dismissed Fleimkepa," Lexa says
Titus bows and leaves
Anya hands the baby back over and gives a bow before turning on her heels to the stables to ready the horses. Lexa quietly walks back into the room to see Clarke sitting up in bed clutching the furs to her chest. She locks the door and moves to sit on the bed.
"What is it Leska?" Clarke asks rubbing her eyes
"They're here," Lexa says quietly as she moves one of the nightgown straps off her shoulder and moves Becca to latch onto her breast.
"Who is?" Clarke asks as she moves Lexa's curls out of her face
Lexa gently rubs Becca's cheek as the baby closes her eyes and puts a hand on her mother's chest. She smiles at the baby before turning to her blonde.
"Skaikru." (Sky people) She says
Clarke's mouth drops as she gasps
"Where? when? are they all okay? are my mother and father okay?" Clarke rambles off quickly
"Slow down hodnes(love)." Lexa chuckles
Clarke moves off the bed and puts on her nightgown before moving to the bathroom and grabbing a clean cloth. Becca finishes eating and Clarke throws the cloth over her shoulder and holds out her arms to take her. Lexa hands her over and Clarke starts to burp her.
"When do we leave?" Clarke asks as Lexa pulls her strap back over her shoulder and moves to lay down in bed.
"Anya will escort you to Tondc. She says only about 100 came down. All young. We have scouts out there watching them. They will keep them away from the villages and any danger. I sent word to the coalition that they are under my protection until further notice and are not to be harmed." Lexa informs
"You aren't coming?" Clarke asks with furrowed brows
"I can't hodnes(love). I meet with the ambassadors this week and since Anya is going with you and Titus is supposed to be going out looking for the next class, I have to stay and teach my current class of natblidas." Lexa says
Clarke nods her head
"And what about this one?" Clarke asks
"Polis is the safest place for her. Plus she still refuses to use a bottle. She prefers her Nomon(mother)." Lexa says as she runs her hand through the brown locks on her child's head
"She likes your breasts. Don't let it go to your head, Heda." Clarke snorts
"As does a certain Skaiprisa," Lexa says with a raised brow
Clarke chuckles "Well we don't always get what we want now do we?"
"You had your way with me hours ago." Lexa scoffs
"I think I need a reminder," Clarke says leaning in to kiss plump lips
Lexa returns the kiss and cups one of Clarke's cheeks. She deepens the kiss until the squirming of their baby forces them to break apart.
"Alright alright. You really put a damper on my love life little bean." Clarke huffs
"Here I'll take her. You need to get ready." Lexa says
Clarke hands her back over and takes off her nightgown. She can feel Lexa's eyes taking in her naked form.
"Like what you see Heda?" Clarke asks with an amused grin
"Sha," Lexa replies with a smile
"Part of me doesn't want to go." Clarke sighs
"So don't. Anya can handle it." Lexa shrugs
"You know I can't. My people, my responsibility." Clarke says
"They sent you here to die Clarke. We are your people." Lexa retorts
"I know. Anya won't let anything happen to me." Clarke says as she quickly changes
Becca's eyes shut and she watches her chest rise and fall. After a few minutes, she lays Becca on the bed of furs and takes off her nightgown. She walks up to Clarke and wraps her hands around her neck and pulls her in for a bruising kiss.
"Mmm Lex.." Clarke moans in between wet heated kisses as her hand trails down Lexa's arms brushing over her father's watch on Lexa's wrist.
"You're distracting me, Heda," Clarke says in between kisses
"Shof op," Lexa says as she pulls her back in
Clarke puts her hand down her back and then grabs her ass. Lexa moans and grabs onto Clarke, wrapping her legs around her waist. Clarke turns them so Lexa's back is against the wall.
"I should leave more often if this is how you get." Clarke chuckles
"I need you." Lexa breathes as her chest rapidly moves up and down
Clarke looks into her dark lust-filled eyes and then turns her head to look at their sleeping baby on the bed
"We have to be quick. Anya won't be happy waiting." Clarke says
"Ai laik the heda. Em can hod op." (I am the commander. She can wait) Lexa says sternly
Clarke brings them both down to the floor with Lexa on top of her. Lexa grabs one of her hands and brings it to her core. They both moan as Clarke runs two fingers into her dripping folds before entering her.
Lexa's breath hitches and she begins grinding down against Clarke's hand at a fast pace. Clarke moans watching Lexa use her to get herself off.
"More Klark." Lexa moans
Clarke adds another finger and starts pumping at a faster pace.
"Faster Beja." (please) Lexa pleads
Clarke picks up the pace and brings her thumb down to circle her clit. Lexa quickly falls over the edge and her whole body shutters and she grips Clarke's shoulders and yells out Clarke's name.
Clarke mufflers her yells by kissing her. She brings her down from her high slowly and Lexa collapses against her. She caresses her bareback while trailing kisses along her forehead.
"You're so beautiful," Clarke says
Lexa hums while Clarke continues to run her hands along her back
Silence fills the room and shortly after, the soft snores she's come to love over the years are heard. Clarke smiles as she carefully moves them up and scoops Lexa into her arms and tucks her into the bed next to their child. She drapes the furs over her and places a wall of pillows on the other side of Becca to keep her from falling off the bed.
"Ai hod yu in both." (I love you both) Clarke whispers as she cleans up in the bathroom and gets together her things
Anya scoffs when she finally makes her way to the horses
"About time Skaiprisa." She says rolling her eyes
"Good morning to you too Onya." Clarke chuckles
"It's a long ride," Anya says spurring her horse forward. Two guards take off past Anya to scout ahead.
Clarke mounts her horse and quickly spurs it forward. Four guards fall in line behind them.
After a few hours, Becca wakes and crawls over to Lexa's face. She brings her tiny hand down against her cheek and tries to grab her nose. She continues doing this for a few moments while Lexa grumbles in her sleep. Her mother catches the tiny hand the next time it tries to come down and she giggles. Lexa opens her eyes and shakes her head at her silly child.
After they both get changes, she takes them down to the kitchen so she can eat breakfast. She is greeted by her young novitiates who were all eating their own breakfast. She shares a meal at the table with them and then feeds Becca again before making her way to the throne room.
Titus bows his head. "Heda." He says
"Any word on Skaikru?" Lexa asks
"They have built some kind of wall around their ship. One was injured trying to go to the mountain." Titus says
"The mountain? why would they want to go there?" Lexa asks with a confused face
"I'm not sure Heda." Titus shakes his head
"Who attacked them?" Lexa asks
"It is unclear at this time." He replies
"Well make it clear. I want to know who went against me." Lexa seethes
"Sha, Heda," Titus says as he hands her a wooden bowl and apple
"Send the natblidas in. We'll have our lesson here and then move outside to spar." Lexa commands
Titus bows his head and goes to round up the natblida children
Lexa sits on her throne and pulls out a dagger to cut the apple into tiny pieces. She sets the bowl on one of the throne arms and begins to feed the tiny pieces to Becca.
Becca reaches her hand into the bowl and grabs one and tries to feed it to her mother
"Mochof, Bekka." (Thank you) She smiles as she lets her feed it to her
When they finish eating, Lexa picks her up and walks over to the ledge that overlooks the city.
"This will all be yours, one day child. I hope to create lasting peace for you." Lexa coos
The natblidas file into the room and all greet their Heda and Becca. The children all sit on the ground in front of the throne. Lexa sits Becca down on the ground with the kids and she sits on her throne to start their lesson. Becca immediately crawls to Aden causing a faint smile to appear on the commander's face.
