They arrived home late in the evening after everyone but Eliza was asleep. "Hello mom." Kara whispered. "Kara, Lena, everything go ok?" Eliza asked. "As good as it could be expected I suppose." Kara replied. "Go on...head off to bed. We all can talk mor in the morning." Eliza cooed. "Good night Eliza." Lena said. "Good night mom." Kara added. "Good night girls." Eliza replied as they headed off to their rooms.

Lying in bed that night Kara kept thinking about what Maggie had told them. "Kara...go to sleep love. You're thinking far too loudly." Lena whispered as she reached up and took her wife's hand in her own. "Sorry darling...I love you." Kara whispered. "I love you too sweetheart." Lena replied. Kara relaxed finally as sleep over took her.

Later that next morning Kara woke up still wrapped around her wife's body. "Good morning sweetheart." Lena hummed. "Good morning sweetie. How long have you been awake?" Kara asked. "Just woke up now." Lena replied. "Shall we get up then?" Kara asked. "Yes...I'm kind of hungry." Lena replied. "Ok love. Let's get up. I'm sure our daughter is already awake." Kara replied.

A few minutes later they were in the kitchen eating breakfast with everyone else. "Good morning mommy! Good morning momma!" Alura exclaimed happily. "Good morning darling!" Lena cooed. "Good morning sweetie!" Kara cooed. "Here girls, I made breakfast." Eliza said as she passed them plates of food and two glasses of orange juice. "Thank you Eliza." Lena replied. Kara hummed in response as she continued eating.

After everyone was dressed for the day Alex took Alura down to the lake so everyone else could talk about what happened in Ireland. "What do you think about moving back here Alura?" Alex asked as they skipped stones together. "I'm really excited about it...even though I'll miss my friends." Alura replied. "I'm glad. And you know you can always talk to your friends on your tablet." Alex said. "Yea...what are momma and mommy talking about?" Alura asked. "Boring grown up stuff. That's why we're out here." Alex said. "Oh...but Auntie Alex you're a grownup..." Alura said. "Yea..but I'm a cool grownup aren't I?" Alex asked. Alura made a face before agreeing.
