A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 289 - Kara Talks With Reign

It is now later on in the evening, and Kara, Lena, Lori, Alura and Morgan have all returned to their home, along with Eliza. Eliza has decided to stick around, instead of having someone fly her back to Midvale, as she thought that during these first few days of Lori being born, she could lend a hand to Lena and Kara, as she is well aware that dealing with two kids, and a newborn baby, is a lot for any new parent, and even more so for Kara and Lena, with everything else they have got going on in their lives. For Kara and Lena's parts though, the two parents can't help but be a bit solemn, as neither of them have been able to stop thinking about the fact that Morgan's mom is alive, and there exists a possibility where their daughter, Morgan, their beautiful little special adopted girl, may no longer live with them, as her mom is alive. Of course, if Morgan's mom does come out of Leviathan, and is able to take care of Morgan, Kara and Lena will certainly not put up a fight to try and stop it from happening, as that would be wrong. Nevertheless, Kara and Lena know that that whole process, and this entire situation, just kind of sucks. However, Kara and Lena have also decided that they are not going to say anything to Morgan about this, about the possibility of her mom being alive. Kara and Lena don't want to give Morgan false hope, just in case this person doesn't end up being Morgan's mom. Plus, Kara and Lena are also well aware that if this person is Morgan's mom, she is currently part of Leviathan, and there is a chance that this woman will just not be able to make it out of Leviathan. Kara and Lena have already seen how brutal Leviathan can be.

"Okay. How about I have Morgan and Alura here come help me, and we can make something for our dinner, while you two go and place Lori down?" Eliza suggests.

"Okay. Thank you, Eliza." Kara smiles.

"Yes. Thank you." Lena nods.

"Come on girls." Eliza says, with a smile, as she starts walking in the direction of the kitchen, "You can come show me where everything is, as I haven't been in this house before."

"Okay. Coming grandma." Alura says.

"I'm coming too." Morgan says, cutely.

Eliza, Morgan and Alura then walk off in the direction of the kitchen, leaving Kara, Lena and Lori alone. Kara is the one carrying Lori right now, and once the three of them are left alone, the blonde starts to carry Lori upstairs, with Lena following Kara and Lori closely behind.

"We don't even have a crib yet." Lena says, as they walk up the stairs.

"I know." Kara nods, "Don't worry. Lori can sleep in our bed tonight. We can just make a sort of pillow fort around her, to make sure she doesn't roll out of the bed or anything. Tomorrow I can go buy us a crib and put it together. It'll likely be best if Lori sleeps in our room for the first week or so anyway, so I'll make the crib in our room."

"Okay..... Thank you." Lena says, "I..... you are good at this.... all this baby stuff."

"Yeah..... well.... I've been through this before." Kara says.

"Yes..... and I haven't." Lena replies, glumly, "It.... makes me feel like a bit of a failure that you know all this stuff, and I don't."

"Oh, Lee, don't be ridiculous. You are not a failure. You are just feeling how all new mom's feel. You are feeling how I felt when I first had Alura." Kara explains, "There are all these books which you can read on parenting, and giving birth and everything, but none of them can truly completely prepare you for every situation that arises. The only thing that really prepares you is by doing it. So, please, don't feel down on yourself. You are doing amazing."

"Okay." Lena says, after a moments silence.

Kara and Lena now walk into their bedroom, where Lena begins to arrange some pillows on their bed, in a sort of pillow fort fashion, with Kara eventually placing Lori in between all those pillows.
