Dreams do come true

Chapter 35

42 days to Earth

Lena woke up with Kara's body pressed to her, which was probably the best feeling in the world.
She couldn't believe this was her life. Kara loved her. Her mother was finally beginning to act like a mom. She went to Mars with her chosen family and the love of her life.

All they had to do now was survive the landing. So she kissed Kara's cheek and left the sleeping bag. They were all working very hard, Lena was just used to working harder.

She wasn't expecting to see Sam in the lab already.

"Finally, Luthor, I thought I had to go wake you."

"Did we have plans?"

"No, I just know you, and wanted to talk to you before the rest of them wakes up."

"Sounds serious. What's up?"

"I know it might be a bit soon, but my anniversary with Alex is coming up and I want to propose."

"Oh my God, Sam! That's amazing!"

"So you don't think I'm crazy?"

"Of course not! You've known each other for way too many years, you love each other, Alex and Ruby already act like mother and daughter..."

Sam's shy smile told Lena she already knew all that. "I just wanted to propose here because this was where it started, you know?"

"I know, and it's a great idea. Tell me what you need me to do."

Lena could pause work for a few hours if it meant helping her friend plan her wedding proposal.

21 days to Earth

Lena had sent Alex and Nia to do a spacewalk to install one last thing.

Once back on the ship, Alex got immediately worried. "What happened?"

"Nothing, we just turned off the lights, Danvers. Get changed and meet us in the pods area."

Alex knew Lena was up to something.

The path there was illuminated with little warm lights. Sam was waiting for her near a window.
Alex melted at the sight.

"We waited until we could see the Earth from here, small as it is. Happy anniversary!"

Alex floated to her and kissed her. "Happy anniversary."

"I love you, Alex. This past year has been amazing. Not because of this mission, because of you. And I couldn't get you anything here so I asked Ruby to buy you something." She gestured for Alex to turn around.

Maggie and Nia were behind Kara. Lena was next to her with a laptop opened, showing Alex the screen. She could see Eliza in the background but Ruby's face filled most of the screen.

"Hi Alex! Mom and I just wanted you to know that we love you and..." Ruby stood up and took a few steps back. Then she got on one knee and opened a small box.

"Will you please marry her and officially become my other mom?"

Alex had her eyes full of tears, she faced Sam who was suddenly right beside her, taking her hand.

"I know it's soon, it doesn't have to be right away, but will you? Marry me?" She asked, handing her a towel so she could get rid of the balls of water on her face.

"Of course I'll marry you." She turned to the laptop then.
"I'll be honored to be your other mom."

They were too busy kissing to see Eliza and Ruby hug after the teenager's delighted squeal. Too busy to notice the other four women floating towards them with similar excitement, until they were all hugging them.
