hiatus notice

         ||  okay. consider this an official hiatus notice until I get my life together lmao

I just started working so I’m gonna be off a lot more, and I still have a lot of other things going on so until I can get everything in order and get a system working for me I probably won’t be on.

     Octavia melts into her mom’s embrace immediately, not      having felt like it has been home in a very long time. It’s      comforting to her. ❝Do you forgive me? For getting caught?❞

          Her heart dropped when Octavia spoke, shaking her head softly. “ Oh baby, it was never your fault. Any of it and especially not you getting caught. We all got caught. “ She said softly, pressing light kisses to Octavia’s brown hair Aurora shared with her and Bellamy.

Clarke smiled at her when she took her hand and squeezed the older woman’s hand. “Thank you, Ms. Blake. I appreciate it that you took some time for me,” she told her with a smile. “And you did a very good job with raising Bellamy and Octavia.”

          She gently gave a small squeeze back, smiling lightly at the girl. “ Any time sweetheart. “ Her smile widened a bit more at her second sentence, never actually hearing those words before. “ I appreciate that, thank you. “

Octavia blinked and rubbed at her eyes,   squinting as if she was trying to see something that was moving too fast for her gaze to follow. The longer Aurora’s image remained  constant before her,  the more pained Octavia’s expression  became—and her voice was very small when she spoke.

                 â€œ.  .  . you’re not real.”

          She stepped forward a bit more, shaking her head in opposition. â€œ No, baby, I’m real. â€œ She said softly, another smile pulling at her lips. She was almost hurt that Octavia didn’t believe that she was there, but could she blame her? She had no idea for over a year now that she was still alive. Both her and Bellamy were told that she was floated. She outstretched a hand towards her, welcoming her to touch her as if to prove that she was really there. â€œ It’s okay.. I’m really here. â€œ

She couldn’t help but smile at that, a fond look glittering in her eyes as she remembered her father for just the briefest of moments. “Everyone who knew him always says I act a lot like my dad. Y’know, recklessly endangering my life for the greater good — or what I perceive as the greater good —, strong moral compass, lots of curiosity, low sense of self preservation. I’m apparently a small, blonde, female Jake Griffin. The idea terrified my mom when I first got to Earth.”

“ Same sense of humor too, “ she chirped, the smile still wide on her own face. She liked Jake though they didn’t talk. They did once in awhile when they were drunk end up getting into deep talks about whatever was bothering them recently, but most of the time they were a blur the next day. Jake was always so caring; something she was glad got carried down to Clarke.

Clarke nodded slowly and bit her lip, ducking her head. “I mean, he’s.. We’ve been through so much, and we did all of it together, I just don’t it to be like the beginning again.”

She nodded softly back at her, a hand gently reaching out to take one of hers. “ Things change, people change.. And within the past month and a half a lot has actually changed, I mean just look at where we’re at. None of us ever thought we’d actually make it to earth, but we’re here. Just do what you think is right, and everything else will work out the way it’s suppose too. Coincidences don’t exist; not to me anyway. If something happens, it happens for a reason. “

Abby smiled in return and moved to pull the woman into a hug.  “You too. I miss it around here.”

She wrapped her arms around the other woman, her chin resting on her shoulder. “ I missed you Abby.. I really did. “

“Maybe, but I think he acts so much like you, we all just kind of see you in him. I mean, I don’t exactly look like either of my parents, but people always say I look like my mom. I don’t see it, but I definitely know we share some facial expressions.” She shrugged, giving the older woman a warm, comforting smile. “Nah, I could never be a Blake. I’ve always thought that if people called me pretty it was because I have that whole blonde hair, blue eyes thing going.” She shrugged, expression changing for just a moment before forcing herself to start smiling again. “Anyway, yeah, you guys are all just pretty remarkable.”

She smiled slightly, letting the girl’s comment slide this time but she knew she wouldn’t let Clarke get away with calling Bellamy pretty. It was just one of those things she’d hold over her head for saying for awhile. “ Well anyone who knew your dad would know you definitely look more like him than your mother. “ She said, hands folding in her lap with a soft smile. “ You’re more like him than you probably notice. “ She vaguely knew Jake, they went to school together and would see each other at parties, but they only really talked every once in awhile. But the girl definitely shared more features with her father than her mother, though the girls do look very similar standing next to each other.

“I’m fine, Clarke checked me it was just the heat she thinks. Maybe I drank too much last night,” she muttered, she didn’t actually drink. “You think they’ll rescue the others anytime soon? Or do you think it’s gonna take a crisis and level six tantrum from somebody?”

“ You kids shouldn’t be drinking at all, “ she murmured, though she knew she really couldn’t do much about it. The kids were practically in charge now and she’d spent enough time with them that she was one of the few that knew the kids knew what they were doing, and what they were talking about. She lowered her hand back down into her lap, “ It’ll probably take you hog tying them and putting a gun to their head before they even considered, I’m sorry to say. “ She said, wishing she could put a say in for the kids, but she was considered more of one of the kids by this point, than one of the adults. Her voice wouldn’t have mattered even if they were on the Ark still.

“It’s not funny,” Nova couldn’t help but laugh as well– almost in defeat– her lips turning into an almost pout as Aurora combed through her hair. It was the simplest task, but also one of the most soothing ones as well. Sighing, Nova licked her lips. “It’s just such bullshit,” she muttered. “I mean, they say things about you and about Bellamy– even my dad. What am I supposed to do? If I say nothing, they win. If I do something I end up in trouble.”

“ I know it’s not sweetheart, I’m sorry. “ She said, though she couldn’t stop smiling as she moved around the table and knelt down, her arms moving around the girl in front of her. “ What kind of things? “ She questioned, resting the girl’s head on her shoulder as she rubbed her back. “ What they’re saying will determine greatly about how you react. “

"Aurora, it's great to see you, but I gotta tell you, I've got no idea what you're talking about."

She paused a moment in her rambling, letting a soft chuckle escapeas a way to slow herself down. “ Sorry, Abby.. I just – It’s good to seeyou. “ She smiled widely, not having seen the other in well over a yearnow.

Nova listened to Aurora’s words, letting out a breath before practically throwing the needle and thread onto the table, running her fingers through her hair. “How did you become so righteous and understanding? Because I’d like to learn.”

She chuckled softly at the girl’s frustration, though it wasn’t supposed to be that funny, as she rested her hand on the back of the younger’s head. “ Many years worth of practice my dear. “ She sighed, her fingers lightly combing through the few tangles to straighten them out.
