Lexa woke up in pitch-black darkness with arms wrapped around her tightly. She wiggled free and turned to see Clarke sleeping next to her.

"Clarke," Lexa whispered, "Clarke wake up."

For some reason, once she saw Clarke's eyes flutter open she started crying. She didn't want to cry, she didn't have the energy to cry, but she did and felt Clarke hug her tightly again. She cried until she fell asleep in Clarke's arms once again. And the next time she woke up it was from Abby waking them up for breakfast.

"I'm overreacting, aren't I?" Lexa said as she curled up in Clarke's bed again.

"Definitely not baby, not at all."

"Yes, I am. I mean I knew this would happen, I knew she would have a problem with it. I- I shouldn't have told her. I should have just kept it a secret and let her believe what she wanted."

"No, no you did what was right. I mean I would have been okay with keeping it a secret but it probably wouldn't have helped you. I mean like, you'd be keeping a big part of you a secret, a very important part of you. And besides, what would she have thought when we are living together with kids? What, we're roommates who decided to adopt together?"

"Maybe," Lexa said letting out a little chuckle.

Clarke sat on the bed, pulling the brunette into her lap, giving her multiple kisses all over her face, earning giggles from her.

"I love your giggles so much. I love your eyes," Clarke said as she gave a kiss to Lexa's eyelids. "I love your nose," she said before kissing the tip of her nose. "I love your ears," she said then kissed an ear. "And I love your jawline," Clarke said as she kissed Lexa's jawline down to her chin. "And your chin," she said then kissed her chin. "And the freckle on your lips," she said as she kissed the freckle. "We can't forget about your lips, I love them a lot," Clarke said before giving her a soft kiss on the lips then tucking loose strands of hair behind the brunette's ear. "I love how sweet you are, how talented you are, how charming you are, how dorky you are, how funny you are, and how intelligent you are."

"Why are you saying all this?"

"Because I just want you to know that I love you so much."

"You're trying to distract me, aren't you?"

"No...well maybe a little, but I mean it, all of it. And when I say that you're not overreacting, I mean it, you're not overreacting."

"I love you," Lexa said as she wiggled closer.

Later that day when Anya was at work they went back to Lexa's house and talked to Gustus who said he thought it would be best for Lexa to stay with Clarke until he reasoned with Anya. They packed some things Lexa needed and she sat with Aden for a while before going back to Clarke's where Abby helped set up the guest room for Lexa. And at night when it was time to go to bed the two girls went to their separate rooms.

"Clarke," Lexa whispered as she woke the blonde up, "Clarke I can't sleep."

Clarke's eyes were still shut as she moved over and lifted her blanket for the brunette to get in. Once Lexa got in she wrapped Clarke's arm around her waist while she wiggled closer. Clarke let out a soft moan as she felt Lexa's butt rubbed against her center, making her eyes flutter open.

"S- sorry."

"It's fine baby," Clarke said as she kissed Lexa's shoulder. "Why can't you sleep?"

"I don't know, I just- I just want you."

"Well you got me," Clarke said as she tightened her grip on the brunette, "and I'm not going anywhere."

"Promise?"

"Lexa, of course, I promise. I love you so much, I'll never leave your side, no matter how sick you get of me, no matter how much you hate me, no matter how much you don't want me around, I'm not leaving."

"Forever and always?" Lexa asked once she was turned facing the blonde.

"Forever and always, baby."
