"A grand adventure is about to begin."

-Winnie the pooh

7.

As I wake up I feel my stomach stir and the feeling of wanting to puke consumes me. I groan and try my best to ignore it. I take a couple deep breaths to help let it pass. My stomach still aches but the feeling of wanting to puke goes away. My thoughts go straight toward the test. Jackson said I would know by today. I start to get anxious and figure I should get out of bed and get dressed already. I throw on my jeans and straighten out my shirt. I brush my teeth for awhile trying to avoid the inevitable but I need to know. I throw on my jacket and slip on my shoes and then I leave. Walking down the hallways to the medical unit seemed to take hours, when in reality it takes a couple of seconds to walk down each hall. As I was nearing the medical unit I heard commotion outside. Perfect, a distraction. I quickly hook a right instead of going left to the medical unit and I step outside. People are crowding around the front gates. My curiosity gets the best of me and I go over and stand with the crowd of people. I see why everyones eyes are on them. Everyone who was locked up last night is now standing in front of us armed, protected, and bloody. My heart starts to race at the possibilities of what could have happened to them.

Pike stands on a platform, "everybody listen up."

"Twenty four hours ago, you elected me your chancellor. Every action I've taken since, and every action I will take, will be to achieve one sacred goal. The creation of a self sustaining, prosperous arkadia." Everyone started to cheer. I can't believe people actually elected him chancellor. As he goes to speak again Jack joins my side and gives me a sad smile.

"This morning on a muddy field, our people paid tribute to those who have been taken from us by sending a message to the grounders." My stomach starts to stir again as he continues to speak and I grab Jacks arm.

"Are you okay?" He questions and turns to face me and grabs a hold of my arms. Bellamy did it. They killed three hundred grounders. Bellamy meets my eyes and I cover my mouth and turn to Jack.

"I'm going to be sick." I tell him and his eyes widen as he leads me quickly into the ark. I can faintly hear someone calling my name and I immediately know it's Bellamy. Me and Jack quickly get to the medical unit and he grabs a trash can and I puke into it as soon as its handed to me. I try to contain my sobs as I puke but the tears won't stop falling. Everyone in the medical unit is too sick to notice me. The people Mikel brought in the other day are getting worse, they all lay there either sleeping or just resting.

"Taylor? What's wrong?" I hear a voice question from behind me. I wipe my mouth with the sleeve of my shirt and turn around to face him. The blood covering him makes me want to throw up again but I contain it to the best of my ability.

"Taylor." I hear from behind me and I see Jackson. Shit. I'm not ready.

I shake my head, "don't say it, Jackson. I can't, I..."

"Taylor, breathe." Jack tells me and I nod and close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"Taylor, please, talk to me." Bellamy pleads. This is all too much.

I close my eyes and speak, "Positive or negative, Jackson?"

I keep my eyes closed waiting to hear him when he finally speaks, "positive."

"What's going on? What is positive, Taylor?" Bellamys soft voice almost makes me forget what he did - almost. I wipe the tears from my eyes and try to process this. I'm pregnant.

"Lay off, Bellamy." Jack says.

"Don't start with me, Jack. That's my girlfriend, not yours." Bellamy steps closer to him threateningly.

"This is not about me. It's about her." Jack says. They talk as if I'm not here.

"What? What is it? Taylor, please." He begs and I finally meet his eye. I bite my lip as tears start to fall down my cheeks.

"I'm pregnant, Bellamy." I state. The room is dead silent after that. Bellamy looks shocked and I can see tears forming in his eyes.

"Pregnant? We're having a baby?" He manages to say through his choking.

"Yeah." I whisper. Saying it out loud feels weird. I'm only eighteen, I can't have a baby.

"Can you give us a second?" He directs his question toward Jack and Jackson. Jackson quickly nods and walks away but Jack stays and looks at me. I sigh and nod at him that it's okay and he nods back and follows Jackson out.

"Guess this puts a strain on your plan to kill all the grounders." I mutter.

"Taylor, please don't." He shakes his head and steps closer to me. I don't have it in me to step back when he grabs my hands in his.

"You killed three hundred grounders, Bellamy. Our baby's father just massacred three hundred innocent lives." I say putting in in perspective for him.

"Don't say that." he whispers as a tear falls down his cheek.

"It's the truth. What do you want me to say, Bellamy?"

"I..I dont know." He sighs.

"Is this who you are now? A murderer?"

"I did what I had to do." He says and I pull my hands away from his.

"No, you did what you thought you had to do. The Bellamy I know is still in there. I need that, Bellamy. We need that, Bellamy." I say bringing his hand to my stomach. There's not even a bump but I need him to understand.

His breathing is shaky as he goes to put his other hand on my stomach and drops to his knees. He places his head on my stomach.

"I dont know what to do." He cries into my stomach.

I sigh, "You need to do what is right for our baby, Bellamy. I won't be able to do this alone. I can't do this alone but you have to realize what you're doing is wrong. And before we can do this together you have to understand that." I grab his arms for him to stand up. I love him, I love him so much but if he doesn't make the right choice i'll have no choice but to go through this alone.

"I love you, Bellamy." I say and place a kiss to his cheek. Before I could walk away Pike and his sidekicks come waltzing in along with Abby, Jackson, and Lincoln. Pikes people start to grab the sick patients off the bed.

"What are you guys doing?" I question them but they ignore me.

"What are you doing? These are sick people. You can't just throw them out into the cold." Abby says to Pike.

"We're not. they're being interned." He tells her. If I didn't hate him anymore than I do...

"We asked them to come here." Lincolns voice is filled with anger.

"We can't spare the supplies." Pike said.

Lincoln turns to look at a women who is being hauled up by one of Pikes men. She looks extremely sick and before I can say anything Lincoln does.

"She's too sick to move." He says to the guy trying to hold him back.

"She looks good to me." He says and the girl falls to the floor. Before Lincoln can get to her the guy pulls out a gun and points it at Lincoln. Lincoln quickly knocks it out of his hand and punches him repeatedly. Bellamy goes to pull him off but Lincoln punches him in the face making him stumble back. I look around to see they are trying to get another person out of bed and I walk up to them.

"Stop." I state. The guy looks at me and laughs and continues what he is doing. I grab his arm and he pulls back the other one and lands a blow to my cheek. I stumble back but now I'm full of anger. I quickly step forward and dodge his next punch and knock him to the ground. I start to punch him in the face until hands pull me away from him.

"Stop! You're pregnant! Stop!" Bellamy shouts and the room gets quiet.

"Pregnant?" Kane asks and I look away. I'm now the only pregnant women in Arkadia. Guess having kids down here is not ideal especially with everything going on. Now everyone is going to look at me like I'm some sort of freak.

"Guys..." Abby interrupts and we all look to her to see her looking at Pike who is holding a gun to the sick woman's head. I hate him.

"Take him." Pike instructs his men and they grab Lincoln leading him out.

"Sorry we had to do this the hard way." He tells Abby then turns to the people remaining in the medical unit.

"No one touches Taylor. "Pike states and nods at Bellamy.

I scoff, "please. I don't need you to help, you've done enough."

"I'm trying to help you. You are pregnant." He says and I roll my eyes.

"Oh, now I matter because I have a baby in me? Or you just want me to be protected so that way you still have Bellamy on your side?" I spit.

"I do not have to explain my actions to you."

"Coward." I mutter.

"I'm doing this for the protection of our people." Pike says and then walks out with his men. The only people left are Kane, Abby, Bellamy, and Jackson.

"Taylor, sweetie, I'd like to run some tests to make sure the baby is okay. And we can get that cut cleaned up." Abby leads me down to one of the beds and I don't argue. All I know is that I am pregnant but not any of the details.

"I'm sorry that this happened." Bellamy says as he helps clean my cut. I don't answer him because he did nothing to stop them. I'm scared he's going to make the wrong choice. I'm scared he's going to continue this and I won't be able to stop him.

"I'm not ready to be a mother." I tell Bellamy. Kane and Abby are listening as they set up stuff for my test but I can't bring myself to care.

"I'm not ready to be a father. But we have to be. You're going to make a great mom, Taylor." Bellamy says as he dabs alcohol onto my cut. I don't flinch.

"We can't have a baby in this world. Not when we're all killing each other." I take a dig at him.

"Taylor..." He trails off not knowing what to say.

Kane walks over to us.

"You know what my mom use to tell me? I asked her what would happen when we ran out of oxygen back up in space, I asked her why would people of the ark bring babies into this world if our oxygen is running out. I mean of course they did not know we were running out but why would they bring life into this world if they knew that their children would not last long because eventually oxygen would run out. You know what she told me? All life is precious no matter how long or short of a life they live. She told me that bringing a baby into this world is a certain kind of warmth in the heart that no one else can feel but parents, so why not bring a baby into this world? Why not experience the feeling? This is a gift. Cherish it. Feel it." Kane finishes. Throughout his story I started to tear up. He made a solid point I just hope Bellamy understands the point about all life being precious.

I sniffle, "thanks, Kane." I smile at him. I know he's mad at Bellamy right now just as I am. I know Kane was trying to comfort me more than anything but he was also trying to get through to Bellamy.

"I'm just going to take some blood." Abby tells me and I nod. She grabs my arm and finds my vein. Once she has found it she inserts the needle in and my blood goes from my vein to the small test tube thats connected to the transfusion tube. Once the tube is filled she takes the needle out and places a cotton ball and a bandaid where the needle was.

"We can also tell how far along you are but considering how small you are you might only be a month or so along." She explains and I nod.

"What's going on?" A voice says and I turn my head to see Octavia enter the medical unit.

"Why is Lincoln and the other grounders locked up?" She questions us.

I look to Bellamy waiting for him to answer since he's Pikes little puppy dog now.

"There was a complication here." He said and I rolled my eyes. That's one way to put it.

"Whats going on with you, Taylor?" She asks more softly this time. I know she hates what Bellamy is doing just as much as I do.

I sigh, "you're going to be an aunt."

Her eyes widen and she steps closer to me and looks at my stomach. Everyone keeps doing that, there's no sign of pregnancy.

"What?" Her voice shakes and I smile weakly.

"I'm pregnant, Octavia." I say clearer. It still feels weird to say it. It all just feels weird in general.

"Are you serious?" She smiles and I can see tears in her eyes. I never realized that this may be a beacon of hope and happiness for some people, especially Octavia. She comes closer and puts her hand on my stomach and I laugh as a tear escapes my eye.

"I'm not that far along so I don't have a bump yet." I tell her and she hugs me. It feels good to have someone happy about it. Right now I still don't know how to feel and I can't help but wonder if me and Bellamy were on good terms if we would eventually be happy about it too.

"When did you find out?" She asks as she pulls away.

"Just around an hour ago. I had been dizzy and throwing up for a couple of days now but they tested me last night." I explain.

"Are you going to keep it?" She asks me hesitantly.

I quickly answer, "of course, it's just all so much right now, especially because of...well...of everything that has just happened..." I advert my eyes to Bellamy and he looks down at the ground.

Octavia turns to Bellamy, "if you don't get your shit together, you don't deserve to be that baby's father." She then sends me one last smile and walks out.

"Taylor, everything looks fine and it seems as though you are 5 weeks along, your baby is the size of a peanut. " Abby tells me and for the first time today I genuinely smile.

"Peanut." I rub my stomach and look to Bellamy who is looking at my stomach.

"We can do this together, Bellamy. But the Bellamy who killed those grounders today was not the real Bellamy. Until you find him, I can't...I can't continue this." My heartbreaks at each word I let fall from my lips but I know it's for the best. I can't be with someone who wants to kill people we are friends with.

"I'll be living with Raven for now. You can stay at our place." I tell him hopping off the bed. I haven't even asked Raven but I know she would be willing to let me stay.

Bellamy says nothing but nods. I thank Abby and Kane and I walk out.

It's up to Bellamy to make a choice, whether he makes the right one or not I don't know.

God I hope he makes the right one. I need him.

This baby needs him.

A/N:

So she is pregnant! Wow. Taylor Queen is pregnant with Bellamy Blakes child...

How do you feel about this? Do you think its better this way? Do you think this might help Bellamy come to his senses? Do you think she was right to break it off with Bellamy until he stops siding with Pike? What do you think is going to happen?

Okay, I'm done questioning. But I love to hear what you guys have to say and what you guys think so don't be afraid to comment whenever and whatever.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and thank you all so much for your continuous support with these books, it means the world.

Much love, xoxo.
