CLARKE POV
I was about to leave Lexa's apartment. She's breaking up with me, again. If things go bad, she just leaves. Why can't she just let me in? I stood up mad and open Lexa's door.

Lexa: Clarke, I'm pregnant.

I stopped in my tracks and look at Lexa. My jaw drops and she was already in tears, dropped back to the couch.

Me: You..you're pregnant?

She nods. I walk back near her and sit down.

Lexa: Last night, we were drinking and I got sick and vomited. I thought it was just the flu. But Raven joked about being pregnant. Then I panicked, realizing I haven't had my period yet.

I sigh and hear the rest of the story.

Me: What happened next?

Lexa: Since i was panicking, we went to buy a pregnancy test. Octavia said to buy 5 to test more. When I tried one, it was positive. Then i tried again, positive. I tried one this morning and again, positive.

Me: That's why you were acting strange this morning.

Lexa: Yes. I'm sorry. I just panicked not knowing what to do. So after this morning, we went to the hospital to get checked. And I am, pregnant.

I breath in and sigh. Lexa's pregnant.

Me: When? How? I thought you were on the pill?

Me: When? How? I thought you were on the pill?

Lexa: I am. The doctor said i'm 5 weeks pregnant already. So looking back, it was-

Me: In Paris.

Lexa: Yea. I was on the pill too. But now that I think about it, i took only one on a Friday. Well we kind of you know for the whole weekend.

I chuckle remembering all of our adventure in France

Me: Why didn't you just tell me this?

Lexa: I didn't want to ruin your life again. Having a kid will just hold you back.

Me: And yours won't? Lexa, we're in this together. That's my kid you're talking about. You're not ruining my life, you're bring joy to my life. And our baby? She won't hold US back.

I smile at her genuinely. I wipe a tear that escapes in Lexa's eye.

Lexa: She?

She smiles at me and I grin.

Me: Yes, she. My princess.

Lexa: I thought I am your princess?

Me: You were. But now we're having our baby. So now, you're my queen. And she's my princess.
