A Girl Called Lori

Chapter 25 - Christmas Shopping

Lena, Kara and Lori have now all returned home to Kara and Lori's apartment. Needless to say, Lori was very happy to hear that Lena would be spending the rest of the weekend with them. As soon as Lori was told, the 7-year-old couldn't even try and hide the smile on her face.

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Kara asks, with a smile, once all three of them have settled on one of the couches in the living room.

"I want to know if your date went well!" Lori says, eagerly, with a big smile.

Kara and Lena look at one another and chuckle.

"It went very well, darling." Lena smiles, and places a kiss on one of Lori's cheeks.

"Yeah." Kara agrees.

"What did you do? Kara wouldn't tell me what she had planned." Lori says.

"I took Lena to The Fortress of Solitude, where I'd had a table and a special dinner prepared for us. We then ate the dinner, and had a lovely time talking with each other." Kara explains.

Lori now grows a confused expression on her face.

"That sounds boring." Lori says.

Kara and Lena both chuckle again.

"It probably sounds boring to you, Lori, because you're a kid. But to me it was absolutely perfect." Lena smiles.

"Yeah." Kara nods.

"Okay." Lori says, and then pauses for a moment, while she grows another thoughtful look on her face, "Does that mean that you had a sleepover?"

Kara and Lena both blush at Lori asking them this, even though they are pretty sure Lori is not asking about sex or anything.

"Uhhh.... well.... actually.... the end of our date got interrupted, because I had to go and do some Supergirl stuff." Kara explains, "Some bad people were robbing banks, and hurting people."

"Yeah, but Kara stopped them, and then came back and flew me back home to my penthouse, where we did have a sleepover together." Lena says.

"Oh, okay." Lori nods, clearly happy with that explanation.

"Now, what do you want to do Lori?" Kara asks.

"Uhhhhh...... Can we watch another Disney movie that I haven't seen yet?" Lori asks, in a cute voice.

"Of course." Kara smiles, widely.

"You really are turning her into a Disney film fanatic, aren't you?" Lena smirks.

"Oh, don't pretend that you don't love watching all the Disney films too." Kara replies.

After this, Kara, Lena and Lori settle into watching a classic Disney film together, all of them sitting on the couch together, with Lori between both Kara and Lena. Eventually though, the film comes to an end, and Kara decides that they need to start cooking their dinner, as her stomach is rumbling. Usually, in a situation like this, Kara might just be lazy and order takeout, but she knows that Lori had a bunch of unhealthy food yesterday for dinner when she was at the sleepover with Esme, so she knows that tonight Lori should have a healthier meal, with some vegetables. Kara does have to think as a parent after all, even if she hates vegetables, with them having zero benefit to her, due to her alien biology.

"Alright. I guess it's time I started cooking us dinner." Kara says.

"What are we having?" Lori asks.

"Uhhhh..." Kara says, as she stands up and then looks in her fridge to see what she has, "Well.... I'm not too sure. I have some chicken.... and some vegetables...."
