Who: Everyone Bring Your Own Thread
What: Housewarming Party
When: Friday Night
Where: Chloe and Finnick’s new cabin
Warnings: TBD but probably none
Status: OPEN/Incomplete



Their cabin was finished! Or at least finished enough Chloe and Finnick could move in. They were having a housewarming party the night before they usually had a bonfire. This was a milestone not just for the soon to be parents, but for the island community. Maybe soon they could build a cabin for other people. It would go faster too, now that they had experience putting one together.

Chloe was still packing up her stuff in the old shelter she shared with Finnick. Not being able to bend too easily and growing suddenly tired made moving their stuff something way outside her normal OCD tendencies. It was driving her nuts!

“Finnick?” she called out in exasperation from where she was looking in corners. “Have you seen the pillows? There’s that one that I shove between my knees when my back hurts and it’s the only one I don’t want to lose.”

Pepper wanted to go to the cabin, just to view it and see if she could get any ideas. She didn't want to copy anything, she just wanted to upgrade her shelter a little bit to make a cozy home for herself, Wedge, and their baby. Mostly she just wanted to make sure the baby would have a safe place to sleep nearby and that the place wouldn't come down around them. A proper bed was in order as well.

It was truly lovely and homey inside, and Pepper looking for a familiar face spied a lonely soul in the corner looking very much out of place and she wandered over, not wanting anyone to feel left out. It was the same girl who had mentioned that she wanted to conceive. They at least that that much in common. "Octavia? Right? Beautiful name."

"Thank you," Octavia said. "My brother named me after Augustus's sister." It was one of the many fond memories she had of Bellamy that was overshadowed by his complacency in Pike's actions that directly resulted in Lincoln's death. She hadn't shared stories about her world publicly yet, so she knew that the reference to a sibling wouldn't have the same meaning to this woman as it would to anyone from the Ark.

She smiled, wishing that she could remember the redhead's name but failing and feeling guilty about it. "And I'm so sorry, but I don't recall your name," she admitted.

"It's okay. Don't apologize. Faces come and go here so it's a wonder people remember each other's names at all." She fondly recalled the night she and Nick had their liason and he was perfectly willing to sleep with her and didn't ask her name until after.

And that it didn't seem to matter one bit.

"I'm Pepper. We talked a bit about your desire to have a baby when you were looking for a willing partner." She said, smiling. "Have you had a chance to talk to any of them?"

Oh right. That was just the other day. Octavia should have remembered, but she supposed she was distracted by all the unexpected offers she got as a result of that post. "Uh, not yet," she said. "I'm supposed to talk to Nick tonight and I have plans to meet up with Isaac at the bonfire tomorrow." She wasn't sure if she would end up sleeping with either or both of them, but she wasn't opposed to the idea.

"You were looking to get pregnant too, right?" she asked. "Or you are pregnant? I remember you saying that you wanted to have a baby."

"Nick is a sweetheart." And very good in bed, she wanted to add, but she didn't want to make things awkward for the young lady knowing that Nick was probably the man who gotten around the most with the women on the Island. He had a reputation. Thankfully, it was a good one. "I don't know Isaac, but no one I've met has been bad, so you should be fine there too."

Pepper glanced down at her belly briefly and nodded. "I am pretty certain I am now. We'll probably make the official announcement in the next day or so."

Octavia hoped she hadn't accidentally offended the other woman or blown a secret by asking. "Well, I hope that congratulations are in order," she said. "I'm definitely not in a hurry to contribute that way, but I know I'll need to sooner rather than later. I mean, it's the least I can do to show my appreciation for Arva bringing me here."

After what she experienced back home, losing Lincoln and having no desire to speak to her brother ever again, being able to come here and have a fresh start, it was the kind of fresh start that she couldn't even begin to explain.

Pepper smiled. "They are, I think. Thank you. I'm having a bit of hard time containing myself, I'm kind of excited since we're planning on keeping the baby." Truth be told, she was probably talking a little more about it than she should have, but the excitement was real. She'd wanted this for so long.

"Arva is all about choice. She doesn't force anybody into anything, it has to be up to you. I believe she appreciates what we're giving her and the babies are important, but don't rush it. It's a big decision."

"I'm definitely not going to rush," Octavia assured her. It was a big decision, even if she wasn't going to raise the baby on her own. "If there's anything I can do for you though, please let me know. I have experience with hunting and gathering."

Pepper was finding Octavia very sweet and was glad that she'd stepped over to talk to her and get to know her. She planned to help out if she was needed when the young woman finally found herself with child. "That's so nice of you to offer. It's not really hunting and gathering, but we can always use help at the medical center with the sewing and washing and things."

Washing things didn't bother Octavia but she was not the sewing type. At all. It wasn't something she ever needed to know and she was afraid that she'd mess it up and ruin their supplies if she even tried. Plus, she didn't think she had the patience for sitting still and doing something that required any sort of precision. She'd rather be out in the woods, doing something active.

"Well, I don't mind helping with laundry and things," she said. Since landing on the Ground, she had plenty of experience hand washing clothes and letting them dry in the sun. "But I don't have any experience with sewing and I don't think I'd be very good at it."

"Don't worry too much about the sewing then, we have plenty of people for that. But feel free to stop in at the medical center any time, whenever you're free." It would certainly be nice to have extra help, especially with the diaper service she was planning.

Looking up, Pepper noticed Nick coming towards them, "I think I see a young man who's eyeing to speak to you, so I'm going to make myself scarce. He's a sweetie. Enjoy."

Octavia followed Pepper's gaze and smiled. "Thank you," she said. "And I'll definitely stop by and help where I can."
