Arthur: no, Merlin. It's too soon. We should try out if this works first

Merlin: there is never a too soon for this! They'll find out eventually!

Arthur: Merlin... I don't think the knights will take this well. They all grew up with prejudices and this one in particular-

Lexa’s thighs trembled around Clarke’s waist, her head thrown back against the pillow as Clarke moved deep and slow inside her. There was something different about tonight. No teasing. No games. Just Clarke whispering soft praise against her skin and Lexa holding on like she needed to anchor herself.

Clarke had her forehead pressed to Lexa’s shoulder now, her thrusts gentle but sure. “You feel so good,” she murmured, voice rough, reverent. “I missed you like this.”

Lexa swallowed hard. “I missed… being yours like this.”

Clarke stilled for a moment, just buried deep and holding her. “You never stopped being mine, Lex. Not for a second.”

And when Clarke finally came, it was with a shaky breath and Lexa’s name on her lips, like a prayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lexa sat on the closed toilet seat, a pregnancy test in her hand. The faint line stared up at her like a secret the universe wasn’t sure it should give her. Her heart pounded so hard it hurt.

Pregnant.

The word was both hope and fear stitched together in her chest.

She hadn’t told Clarke yet. They hadn’t even talked about trying again—not really. There had been grief, then silence, then sex like healing through touch.

She brushed a hand over her belly. Please stay.

Lexa didn’t hear Clarke at first, too focused on the pale, hopeful line that was already burned into her memory. Her thumb kept brushing over it like she could rub it away or somehow press it deeper into permanence.

The door creaked open gently.

“Lex?” Clarke’s voice was soft, still sleepy. She must’ve woken up when she realized Lexa wasn’t in bed.

Lexa didn’t answer.

Clarke stepped closer, and when she finally saw the test in Lexa’s hand, she froze. “Is that…”

Lexa nodded, her eyes wide but glassy, and for a moment she couldn’t speak. Just held it up with trembling fingers.

Clarke knelt in front of her, like something in her own chest had dropped out of place. “You’re… are you sure?”

Lexa laughed, but it was the kind that sounded like it might break. “I'm late. I didn’t even… I wasn’t expecting...” Her voice cracked. “I didn’t think it could happen again.”

Clarke gently took the test from her hand, just to look. Her thumb grazed Lexa’s knuckles before settling on her thigh.

She looked up. “Lexa,” she whispered, eyes full. “We’re gonna be okay. No matter what happens, we’re in this together.”

Lexa nodded, a tear finally sliding down her cheek. “I’m scared.”

“I know.” Clarke leaned forward, pressing her forehead to Lexa’s. “But I’ve got you. Every step. And if this little one sticks…” She reached to place her hand over Lexa’s belly. “Then they’ve got us, too.”
