"No!! You were the one who threw them off the couch!!" Lena yells back.
Kara bits her lip and looks around, trying to find the last lost cushion. Eventually Kara sees that she threw the cushion all the way out onto the balcony.
"There you are!" Kara says with a smile as she walks to the cushion.
The cushion itself is leaning against the glass railing of the balcony. Kara approaches the cushion and picks it up.
"Oh Rao." Kara mutters to herself as she notices that she threw the cushion so hard in her haste that she caused a crack in the glass railing.
Kara walks back into the living room and then puts the cushion back in its place before heading into the kitchen. As Kara enters the kitchen she sees Lena just finishing off cleaning.
"Uhh..... honey?" Kara says nervously.
Lena looks up at Kara with a frown.
"What did you do?" Lena asks.
"What do you mean, what did I do?" Kara asks surprised Lena knows she's done something.
"You forget I know you. Not to mention you just called me honey, which you never do, unless you feel guilty about something. So what did you do?" Lena asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Uhhhh...... I may have...... thrown the pillow so hard...... that I cracked the glass on the balcony railing....." Kara explains.
Lena frowns at Kara.
"That's like the fourth thing you've broken during sex in the last month. And that's even with your red sun bracelet on!" Lena says as she rubs her temple.
"Well we both know the bracelet isn't as effective as the sun lamps..... but what do you expect..... I can't really control myself around you....." Kara says with a grin.
Lena now looks up at Kara and smiles.
"Oh you are a smooth one Mrs Luthor-Danvers." Lena smiles.
"What can I say? I love my wife." Kara gleams.
Lena smiles at Kara and then takes her in for a kiss. The two kiss for a bit but are then interrupted by an alert on a tablet that is installed on the wall of the kitchen. Lena looks over.
"Kelly and Alex are here." Lena says.
Kara, Kelly, Alex and Lena all have a great time staying in having dinner together. The group all had some fun and made their own pizzas in the kitchen together. It was a real fun activity, especially with alcohol involved. Currently the two couples are in the living room both snuggled up into each other while all four women drink wine.
"So we have something to tell you guys." Alex says.
"Yeah? What is it Al?" Kara asks as she pulls Lena closer into her.
"Well we didn't want to say until we knew for certain, as we didn't want to get anyone's hopes up or set expectations in case things didn't work out..... But..... we are gonna adopt a baby." Alex explains.
"What really!?!!" Kara asks surprised as she jumps away from Lena.
"Yes. There is a woman right here in National City who currently is pregnant with a boy and intends to give him up for adoption. She saw our application and choose us!!" Kelly explains with a big smile.
"Oh my god!! Congratulations you guys!! You're going to be moms!!" Lena smiles.
"Yeah... it's not 100% official. The birth mother can still change her mind. But we've already met her and she has some reasons that I won't get into as to why she doesn't want to keep the baby, and I don't think she'll change her mind." Alex says.
"Oh Rao!! This is cause for a celebration!!" Kara says with a big smile as she stands up.
"Wait. There's something else." Alex says as she gestures for Kara to sit down again.
"Okay, what is it?" Lena asks.
"Okay. So we've both been thinking long and hard about the drug you offered us both. We weighed up all the pros and cons of it all. But we've decided we are going to decline your offer." Alex says.
"Yes, we are really grateful, but now that we are going to be moms we obviously don't want to outlive our children, and don't want to force the drug on our children. Nor would we even expect you to offer it to them. It would just start a cycle of our children needing the drug, then their children, then so on and so on." Kelly explains.
Kara looks dejected after hearing this. Obviously Kara is going to have Lena for a long long time but she hoped Alex would be around for a long time as well.
"Kara? Are you okay?" Alex asks.
"I.... I....." Kara says and then stands up, "I need a minute." Kara then walks out onto the balcony, closing the door behind her.
Lena stands to follow Kara but Alex holds out her hand to stop her.
"I've got it." Alex says.
Lena gives Alex a nod and then Alex heads out onto the balcony.
"Kara?" Alex calls out as she approaches her sister.
Alex gets closer to Kara and then hears Kara's sniffles, she's clearly crying.
"Oh Kara." Alex says as she takes her sister in for a hug from behind.
"I'm.... sorry..... I'm happy for you...... And I understand your decision..... I just...... don't ever want to be..... without you...." Kara says as she sobs.
"I know. It's okay. But you'll never be without me. I'll always be with you. Right here." Alex says as she taps Kara's chest where her heart is.
"I know..... I'll just..... miss you..." Kara says as she continues to cry.
"I know. But I don't plan to go anywhere any time soon. Hell, we still haven't even reached the half way point of our sisterhood. We have sooo much ahead of us!! How about we live in the moment? We don't need to worry about the future now." Alex suggests.
"Okay." Kara nods and turns around to hug Alex face to face.
Kara and Alex hug for a moment.
"You're gonna be an aunt." Alex says.
Kara smiles.
"I know, and you're gonna be a mom. Are you excited?" Kara asks.
"Excited, terrified, you name it." Alex replies.
Kara lets out a chuckle.
"You don't need to worry, you're gonna be a great mom." Kara says.
"Thanks, it makes it easier knowing I'm going to be doing with with Kelly by my side." Alex says.
"Yeah." Kara nods with a smile.
"And who knows. Maybe you and Lena are next?" Alex says with a grin.
Kara chuckles.
"I don't think I'm ready for that yet." Kara replies.
The rest of the evening for the women went pleasantly after Kara and Alex went back inside, with the group celebrating the news. After Kelly and Alex leave its pretty late so Kara and Lena go straight to bed. Kara hasn't really said much since the two future parents left. Lena knows Kara is still sad and upset.
Kara and Lena get into bed and start off both on there own side of the bed. They remain like this for a few moments.
"Come here Kara." Lena says softly through the darkness.
Kara silently moves over and Lena takes Kara in for a hug so she's spooning her.
"I know your upset, and that's okay. I'm here for you. Whatever you need." Lena says softly.
"This is all I need right now." Kara replies in a hushed tone.
"Okay, Goodnight love." Lena says as she kisses Kara's cheek.
"Goodnight Lee. I love you." Kara replies.
"Love you too darling." Lena says back.
Kara and Lena then drift off to sleep with Kara in Lena's arms.
