Kara's pov:

I wake up to the sun shining through the window and Lena laying on my chest looking peaceful and content. I lean down and place a soft kiss to the crown of her head before coaxing her back to the world of the living.

"It's time to wake up sleeping beauty," I say quietly and stroke up and down her pyjama covered back.

It takes a few tries but eventually she wakes up with a grimace and a cute groan which makes me chuckle.

"Hey, we need to get up, we have an hour and a half until we have to head back to our home so that we don't miss the delivery of our furniture... You can stay here for another half an hour if you'd like whilst I go down and make you a nice strong coffee and breakfast," I offer as I extract myself from underneath Lena and super speed into some clothes.

"Uuuggh! Why is it so bright?" Lena complains as she rolls over and buries her face into my pillow.

I laugh, "So is that a no to coffee and breakfast?" I tease.

She lifts her head up and squints at me before offering me a soft sleepy grin, "Coffee would be great, are you for breakfast?"

I feel my cheeks heat instantly but force a sad smile onto my face before answering, "Not this morning, we have a schedule to keep," 

"That's a shame because you look divine," Lena practically purrs as she shoots me a sleepy wink before snuggling back into my pillow with a quiet hum of satisfaction. 

I shake my head with a grin of my own and quickly give her a chaste kiss before heading downstairs. Alex and Maggie are already down there and are sitting at the dining table with Eliza. As I walk in the three of them stop talking and an awkward silence follows as I walk over to the coffee machine to make a fresh pot as there wasn't quite enough for another full cup. Once i'm finished I turn to face them all and offer a polite smile.

"You don't have to stop talking just because I entered the room you know," I say as cheerfully as I can. I'm angry but that doesn't mean I'm going to be rude and ignore my mother. 

"We know. How are you this morning little sister?" Alex asks, breaking the awkwardness... mostly.

"I'm good, I'm kind of a mixture of nerves and excitement, our furniture is being delivered today so the house is really going to look like an actual, lived in house by the next time you guys see it!" I say as I bounce on the spot, a bright smile on my face.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you told me all that was coming, I'll have to pop round after work on Wednesday and check it out," Alex says with an equally excited smile.

"You better take pictures Danvers, I'm not going to be able to visit until we move in," Maggie says with a frown.

"What? You work near Alex though right? Why don't you just drop round after work as well," I ask in confusion.

"I would have but I got an email from work this morning telling me I'm being sent on a training course for some new weaponry or something, so I'm not going to be around for a week which means I'm not going to be able to offer you guys a hand either..." Maggie says grimly.

"Ah so that's the real reason, you don't want to help us move in!" Lena teases as she rounds the corner to the kitchen with a playful wink to Maggie.
