"I'm not a stop along the way, I'm a destination."

-Blair Waldorf

"I just don't see why she wants to only talk to you." I cross my arms as Bellamy stands in front of me. Night had fallen quickly and although we all agreed to just leave Polis, Ice Nation had another idea in mind. Echo was forcing us to stay or she'd start a war we do not need. Since Roan was shot she is in command and I'm extremely worried about it. Roan was allies with us and he was level headed, Echo is a raging bitch who only knows violence.

"I saved her in Mount Weather. You know this." Bellamy explains. I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, maybe that was deemed as affection to her." I sigh.

"Are...are you jealous?" Bellamy asks wide eyed with a slight smile. My eyes turn into slits as I scoff.

"No." Yes. I don't know why she wanted to talk to him only. Why not Clarke? Or Kane? There is other leaders of the camp too. Not just him.

"I know when you're lying, Princess." He smirks and pulls me close to him.

"Whatever." I look away but he palms the side of my cheek and turns me back to face him.

"I don't know why. I only got eyes for you, baby. You're my fiancé." He tells me. I can't hide my huge grin and I shake my head. He's perfect, honestly, perfect.

"I love you." He smiles.

"I love you more." It's not possible. He can't love me more because the love I have for him makes my heart want to burst out of my chest. But I know the love he has for me is deep and knowing that makes me feel warm.

"Indra needs to give you the run down, Bellamy." Kane says walking up to us. I smile at him and pull away from Bellamy.

"Okay." He nods at Kane and he grabs my hand as we follow him to where Indra and a few guards stand. I can see Echo and her people on the other side of the fountain as they wait for us. More specifically, Bellamy.

"She's part of the royal guard, spies. That's why she's not marked, very dangerous, very loyal." Indra explains to Bellamy.

"Not to the people who saved her life." Mount weather getting blown up, that was her doing. And he's right, that was the thanks Bellamy got for helping her escape from Mount Weather.

"Bellamy, I know how you feel about her but you can't lose control. You offer her technology, guns, whatever it takes to keep her talking." Kane tells him.

Bellamy nods his head, "I got this." He gives me one last look before he walks out of the small entry. Ice Nation stands up as he gets close and Echo walks toward him. She speaks first and then I see Bellamy talking. I wish I could hear what they are saying. They talk for a couple more minutes and I hope he can drag this out longer so Clarke and Abby can get Roan conscious. I bite my lip as she starts to walk away but Bellamy grabs her arm. Ice Nation suddenly stands alert with their weapons ready. She quickly turns to him and has him on his back in seconds with her knife at his throat. I step forward but Kane puts out his arm to keep me from going. I don't think I would've, it was just a reflex. Hell, if I tried to go up to Bellamy she'd probably kill both of us. Echo then looks up at us and I swear she smirks at me.

"Guns on the ground or he dies." She tells us.

"If we disarm, we die." Indra tells Kane through her teeth.

"We have to, she's going to kill him." I say. Kane sighs.

"Abby will come through. Guns on the ground, now." Kane commands the guards and they do as he says. Echo lets Bellamy up but leads him away into the building behind them. I want to go after them but the men standing guard make me rethink that thought.

"What are we suppose to do?" I ask Kane.

"All we can do is hope Abby and Clarke helped Roan wake up." He replies to me.

We wait a few minutes until finally some of her guards are coming out of the building and she is last to follow.

"You all are going to lockup until King Roan decides what he wants to do with you." Echo says not sounding too pleased with the choice. If she had it her way we'd probably all be dead right now. Well maybe not Bellamy because she has some weird liking towards him. I mentally roll my eyes at the thought.

"Wait!" Kane yells but her guards are already grabbing us and forcing us to walk. I don't put up a fight because there's nothing I can do for the moment. I just have to go along with this in hopes Clarke is dealing with this. When we get to lockup they tie us to chains on the rock walls and slam the gate shut. I was tied up right next to Jack who I hadn't seen for most of the day. I sigh and slide down onto the floor. I'm so exhausted from running back and forth and I think it's now just hitting me. I hear some noise and the guards are back with everyone else, including Bellamy. I sigh in relief from seeing him. They tie him up across the room and he gives me a nod letting me know he's fine. The guards once again leave us.

"You doing okay?" Jack asks me as he sits down on the floor as well.

"Not really but I'll manage." I always do.

"Is it the baby?"

I nod my head, "I'm tired and really hungry. My head has also been hurting for majority of the day."

He gives me a sad smile.

"I'm sorry. I-" He doesn't finish his sentence as I let out a groan and clutch my stomach causing everyone to look my way.

"What's wrong? Taylor, are you okay?" Bellamy questions from across the room. I don't answer him as I squeeze my eyes shut from the pain and hold my breath.

"Taylor, what hurts?" Abby questions me, she is seated by Bellamy and Clarke and I can see the worry in their eyes as I look up at them.

"I...I don't know. My stomach, it feels like my insides are being squeezed." I explain and try to bear through the pain that comes again.

"Have you eaten today? Have you even had a sip of water?" She questions me and it takes me a second to answer as I think.

I shake my head. "No, I had some water last night but I haven't ate since yesterday afternoon maybe." I explain to her. There was no time for me to eat or drink let alone anything for me to consume. I've been so focused on shutting down Alie and everything else going on that I've been forgetting to take a second and make sure my baby is doing alright.

"Taylor, that's not good. You could be dehydrated that's why you feel that pain. It's also very dangerous for the baby." She tells me and I swallow hard. I feel stupid, I have one job as a mother and it's to protect my baby and I'm doing horrible at it.

"I'm sorry." I say to no one in particular as the pain comes to my stomach again. Jack rubs my back and lets me grab onto his hand to squeeze which I do.

"We need to call the guards back. See if they can at least give us some water." Clarke says and starts shouting. Bellamy joins in with her and after a few minutes there is three of them who come down but they enter in and go straight towards Clarke. They say something about Roan wanting to see her and they take her with them. I try to stand up but I get dizzy and I fall back to the ground.

"Jesus, Taylor, are you okay?" Jack asks panicked and I nod. I feel sleepy and my eyes are drooping. Dehydration and fatigue don't go well together.

"Please, wait! She needs water! She's pregnant!" I hear Bellamy yell but I don't get to hear what happens next as sleep finally consumes me.

"Taylor?" I hear someone nudge my shoulder gently. I slowly flutter my eyes open to see Bellamy leaning over me. I look around to see we're back at arkadia in the medial unit. I'm currently lying on one of the beds. I slowly sit up and Bellamy helps me.

"What the hell happened? How are we here?" I question him as I start to become more alert and awake.

"After you fainted, the guards came back to tell us we were free to go after Clarke had talked to Roan. I had to carry you to the rover and now here we are." He explains.

I sigh, "I told you I was going to faint." I tease referring to when he asked me to marry him. He rolls his eyes and helps me as I get out of the bed. I notice a bandaid on my inner elbow and Bellamy seems to notice as he speaks.

"Clarke hooked you up with some IV's earlier so you could get rehydrated. She took them out about an hour ago." He tells me.

"How long have we been here?"

"Around three hours." I nod my head at his words.

"Now that you're awake, I have a surprise for you." I look at him in confusion as he just smiles at me. He holds out his hand, "come on." I let him drag me down some hallways and we finally reach our room. We walk in and I'm about to question him about what we are doing until I see what's in front of me. The small dining table has two plates set up with food on each and a huge jug of water. I almost laugh at that. There's also a bundle of small yellow flowers in the middle. I realize that they are the flowers that adorn the outside of Arkadia. Holy shit, did he pick me flowers like a little kid? My heart melts at this whole thing and I turn to face Bellamy.

"Is this a date?" I tease and he pulls me into his chest.

"Our very first." He replies and then lets me go. He pulls out the chair for me and he sits on the other side.

"You know I think it was suppose to be date first, then marriage, then baby. We went backwards." I say. He laughs.

"Which makes us different." He points out and this time I laugh.

"You need to eat." He points out and I nod.

"No argument there. I'm starving." I say as I pick up my fork and knife. The meat on my plate looks delicious and I cut a slice. I almost moan at the taste, it's amazing and my stomach thanks me for it.

"You picked me flowers." I state nodding towards the flowers in the middle of the table. Bellamys cheeks get red and it's the cutest sight ever.
"Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be a real date without them."
"You're the cutest." I laugh into my hand.
"Okay, okay. Enough." He is still blushing and my smile grows even more.

We continue to eat for awhile until I break the comfortable silence.
"So how did Clarke convince Roan to let us go?" I ask Bellamy after he takes a sip of water.

"She told him what Alie told her. She told him we're the only ones who can find a solution for us all to survive."

"So he agreed? Just like that?"

He nods his head, "Yeah, I think Roan trusts Clarke."

"Do you think we can pull this off?" I question him biting my lip. He studies my face carefully before answering.

"We have to, Raven and Monty have a plan."

"Which is?"

"Use the ark. Patch it up and control the temperature fluctuations and radiation levels."

That sounded like a solid idea. But how many people could fit in here? Would the ship even be durable for whats to come?

"You think it's a good idea?" Bellamy asks me and I shrug.

"It sounds like it. But what if it doesn't hold when praimfaya comes? What about everyone living here? How many people can even fit in here comfortably to live?" He grabs my hand in his from across the table, his touch calms me down.

"Princess, we're going to do everything we can to beat this, okay?" I nod at his words and take a large sip of water.

"I know you have been stressed and you haven't been eating right because of everything that has been happening so for the next few days me and you are going to relax. Okay?"

"But we need to help, Clarke said Priamfaya will be coming in six months. We need to get to work." Relaxing with Bellamy sounded like pure bliss but I don't know if it's a luxury we can afford right now with the time crunch we're on.

"Taylor, I need you to be well rested and well fed. You are carrying our baby and I just want you to go through all of this smoothly."

"But Bell--" He cuts me off as he speaks again. "No buts. And to make sure we are not interrupted we will not be staying here." I wait for him to continue.

"The bunker Finn showed us. Me and Miller cleaned it out before you woke up." Hearing Finns name sounded weird. It feels like years have passed since Finn but in reality it's only been months. I guess when he said him and Miller cleaned it out they cleared out the body. The guy Finn shot so long ago.

"Want to go on a little vacation with me, Princess?" He smiles and I laugh lightly.

"The world is ending, Bellamy." I say amused.

"Well then there's no better time." He smirks.

"So what do you say?"

"Yes."

"We'll be gone for three days so you might want to say your goodbyes to everyone before we go." Bellamy tells me as we walk out of our room. After our dinner he told me to get everything I needed to take with us. I put lots of my stuff in my pack and he had his already packed. I didn't know we were leaving so soon but Bellamy explained that it was better to leave now or else we'd be hesitant to leave if something came up here at arkadia. We walk into the meeting room and I see Clarke, Raven, Monty, and Jasper. Each doing their own thing trying to figure out how we're going to stop this. It makes me feel a little guilty for leaving but Bellamy is right. I've been way too stressed and it's not good for the baby.

"Hey guys." I say getting their attention. They all look my way and Monty and Jasper are the first ones to come up to me and give me hugs.

"We missed you." Jasper states and I roll my eyes.

"I just saw you the other day."

"Exactly." Monty says.

"Well I'm leaving again so try not to miss me too much." I smile.

"You know this is still so crazy. I remember when you were telling us about your crush on Bellamy back in the drop ship that day Jasper woke up from the spearing. Now you're having his baby." Monty says making me blush. Bellamy comes to my side and smirks at me.

"You talked about me a lot, Princess?"

"No." I say as Monty and Jasper both say yes. I roll my eyes.

"Hell yeah she did." Raven says joining the conversation and I feel my cheeks burning even more. I'm freaking marrying the guy and I still blush talking about him.

"You guys be safe out there. We can handle things here." Clarke says butting in. I smile at her. They all look at us and I realize that they don't know about Bellamy asking me to marry him. I guess since we're all here I might as well come out with it.

"We've got some news for you guys." I say and look to Bellamy. He eyes me curiously but I think he realizes what I'm talking about as he nods his head at me.

"You're already pregnant, what other news could there be?" Miller asks walking in the room now. This is actually perfect now. I laugh lightly at his question and then turn to Bellamy.

"I asked her to marry me." He states.

"And I said yes."

"Holy shit!" Monty smiles wide shaking his head and him and Jasper hug each other.

"You guys serious?" Raven asks with a smile. I nod and she pulls us in a hug.

"So is there going to be like a wedding or something?" Miller questions. I didn't think about that but that was something me and Bellamy could discuss later. It's not like we have time for a formal wedding.

Clarke shakes her head at Miller and then looks to us. "I'm happy for you guys." She pulls us into a hug. Telling them was a good thing, all this support and love is something we all needed right now.

"Alright, we've got work to do.Go get some proper rest, Taylor." Raven teases and I nod.

"See you soon, Mrs. Blake."

Mrs. Blake. There is something I thought I would never hear.

A/N:

Hey guys, I'm extremely sorry for this late update. I've had some personal issues over the past few weeks and I was just trying to figure out how to deal with some stuff that was brought to light. But I can say everything is fine now for the most part and I'm back. I will say this chapter is a bit shorter than chapters I usually write but I think I might do shorter chapters and more frequent updates. It all just depends on how my schedule will work this way.

But I'm so glad you all are still reading and I'm so excited to write further for this season/book. Thank you all so much for your votes and comments. Honestly seeing all the comments make me so happy and I love them, so thank you.

Much love, xoxo.
