Mending a Dangerous Heart

“You could at least look at me” Clarke whisperd but Lexa couldn't look up. 
“Lex I know what you're doing and stop'' Clarke attempted to sit up cousing Lexa to finally look up only to help her up. Slowly lexa looked into clarks eyes and a tear slipped from her eye. 
“You could have died,” Lexa said gently and the clarke shook her head. supised plastes one her face for a few seconds at seeing the brunette let a tear fall
“But I didn't see im alive,” Clarke smiled and Lexa shook her head. 
“You got injured because of me” the sadness in her voice seeping through everything. 
“No I'm injured because I protected you becpuse my brothersa dick'' Clark reached out fully and grabbed both her arms pulling her closer to her so their faces were inches apart. 
“And I do not regret a thing '' Clarke smiled and lexas heart warmed and mended a littlr just by the sweet smile on her face. Slowly Lexa moved forwards and gently pressed her lips to the clarks. There kiss was small and didn't last long for lexa didn't want to hurt clarke but it was enough to make clarke forget about the pain for a few seconds. 
“If i get this every time im hurt maybe i should be more reckless” clarke joked and lexa shook her head. 
“no. I have enough heart attacks because of your reckless abandon,” lexa sighed and Clarke tugged her arms seeing that lexa still felt bad. 
“You know what I want,” Clarke smiled and Lexa nodded.
“Anything , it's yours,” Lexa said gently and Clark reached her arms out, masking a movement as if to say she wanted cuddles. Lexa shook her head
“I'll hurt you Clark,” Lexa warned and Clarke huffed. 
“Shut up” she growled and did the movement agine and Lexa gave in. She slid into the bed next to Clarke and moved them born around gently so that Clarke was laying on her. Lexa's arm gently laying on clarks upper stomach, their arms inter minded and their legs intertwined, Clark had her hand absentmindedly tracing a few old scars on Lexa's arm. As seconds went by, Lexa's body relaxed. Not fully but enough to make Clarke take notice. 
“Lexa '' Clarke asked Lexa to give a hum in response so she knew she was listening. 
“What does the t on your ring mean” Clark was looking at lexa small tring that registered always on her finger. It was a small t with a w beside it.
“Tree krew…;the ring meams lexa woods kum tree krew.” Lexa looked down at clarkes hand which was now playing with the ring on lexas finger. The scars now forgotten. 
“Why?” Clark asked this time, looking up at Lexa, who smiled a little. 
“Originally my father's last name was treekru but he changed it to woods when he gained his power to hide from his parents. He always called me lexa woods treekru and had this made for me when i was little. He gave it to me when I turned 16. He siad wear it and remember who I really am.” Lexa said and Clarke looked absolutely fascinated with the story. 
“What does it mean? '' Clarke asked and Lexa reached around her and gently pulled the ring off her finger.
“It means I am Lexa woods. I come from a long line of trikru. It means I never forget my past and heritage and it means that like every tree crew before me when I find some one who truly deserved the ring. Someone i know will always be beside me even if i screw up i place my ring on her finger’ lexa said and gently look clarks hand and slide the ring on to her finger. Clarke eyes widened and she turned her head back to lexa about to speak when lexa started again. 
“My father always used to say that when  I met the girl who would become the owner of this ring I would know. I would take a bullet for her” lexa hand slid onto the wound ever so gently. “I would know. My heart would skip a beat and I wouldn't be able to sleep without her with me after we first slept in the same room. He was right. When he said this and when he said it wasn't costia, he was right.” Lexa whispered and Clark's eyes filled with love and compassion for the brunette. 
“Lex but your father-always intended it to become yours, from the minute he saw us playing together and i carried you to your bedroom when you fell asleep on me” lexa smiled and bent her head down making it to clarks noise and kissed the top of it. Clarke smiled and oand gently admired the ring with her eyes  
“Promise me you'll never take that off” lexa whispered and Clarke quickly replied with a nod. 
“I promise.” Clarke whispered back and relaxed back into Lexa once more. Just as she did the door swung open. Octavia ravne, anya, lincoln, wells and a woman who  lexa had seen before came into the room. Clarke tried to sit up and Lexa quickle sat both of them up without any trouble getting a thankful peek on the cheek from clarke. Raven and Octavia were the first to move. Raven still has tear stains on her face and Octavia is still crying. The two walked out and wrapped her arms around the blonde simultaneously. Lexa  quickly shifted away from Clarke as the girls hugged. She went to slip out of the bed to give them more room, but clarkes hand shot out and gruped her jakete. 
“No” she mumbled and then let go and went back to hugging the girls who were trying their hardest to be gentle. 
“God griff dont ever fucking scare us like that agine” raven muttred and octavia gave a short cry in agreement to ravens statement 
“I'm sorry.” Clarke whispered, hugging the girls weakly. ‘There's no way there with him’ she decided right then and there her answer to the questions that ran through her head. 
“In ganna fucking kill him” octavia whimperd pullling back from clarke. Like a little lap dog, Lincoln was there in seconds hugging her from behind . 
“Who '' Clarke choked out and raven exploded. 
“Don't even fucking try we know you know what bells benen dong. What the hell were you thinking not telling us? '' raven growled. As she did lexa tensed back up and anya walked to the angry girl and gently ran her hand down raven back on a single motion starting at her shoulder blade calming her down. 
“H-how?” Clarke looked at Lexa who shook her head no and anya finley.
“They had the right to know Clarke,” Anaya said and Clarke turned to her. At first she wanted to glare but was only able to manage a small thankful look. She took that fist fight. She had taken the liberty and the consequences from clarke. 
“I still don't like you” Anya huffed and Clark smiled. 
“I don't like you either anya” Clarke laughed and Lincoln was the next to speak. 
“Glad your still alive sis” lilcion smiled and like the doctor she was she really glared at him. 
“Oh don't you  "sis" me. I saw what you did. Didn't i tell you no standing that arm for a few months. Last time i check a few means two to three not one and a half not to mention it's been bothering you” clarke gave him a look and lincoln laughed, 
“Care to help me here heda '' Lincoln looked at Lexa who laughed and shook her head.
“Not even i can save you now lincoln” lexa bent over and pressed a kiss to clarks cheek.
“Ha. do not even think about using that arm for anything more than opening light doors until i look at your arm to make sure you didn't tear something” clarke glared and linclions hands flew form octavia waist in sentence
“Yes ma’am” Lincoln laughed and wrapped his arms around Octavia who was quietly looking at the floor. 
“O me and you are going to talk later. For now it wasn't your fault. And I'm fine,'' Clark smiled when Octavia looked up and gave a small nod. Clarke felt the bed shift slightly and she looked over at Lexa who was staring at the door. A hardens look plasters to her face. Clarks eyes followed her line of sight to an older blonde woman.  Her eyes were trained on the group. She had a white lab coat one and her hand shook a little. Clarke looked back from the women to lexa and back to the women a whimper escaped her mouth as she reached out for lexa for support finding her right next to herself as broken and cracked word escaped her mouth  
“M-mom?”
