'Just Friends'

Epilogue Part 2: Time skip (Ten years later)

"I'd like to start off this small party by thanking everyone for coming to help Lee and I celebrate our fortieth wedding anniversary. It was forty years ago today in this barn that I married my best friend. When I first met Lena, I was a timid assistant who was deciding what she wanted to become...it was because of that interview that I shadowed with Clark that I chose to be a reporter. I couldn't help but be completely captivated by her beauty. After that first meeting I did everything in my power to become her friend...and it worked. When she found out my alternative identity...Lena was upset for a time but we worked it out and remained friends. However deep inside me I had feelings growing for her...they grew everyday. When she was with James I felt jealousy bubbling up...so you can imagine how I felt when she kissed me at a gala...

After she explained that she too had feelings for me...well the rest was basically history...Lena's my best friend, my confidant, my shoulder to cry on when I had a bad fight as Supergirl...she's my everything...so when we proposed to each other I knew that there wasn't anything that could pull us apart...I wake up every day wondering what in Rao's name I did to deserve some one as perfect as Lena is...and she'll tell you that she is the lucky one....but really I am....cause I get to spend my life both here and in Rao's land with my soulmate by my side." Kara's speech ended and both wives had tears in their eyes. "I love you Lee." Kara whispered as she sat back down beside her.

Slowly Lena stood up after kissing Kara's lips. "I suppose...it's my turn to make a speech...where do I even start? Kara...meeting you was most definitely fate...growing feelings for you came as naturally as breathing....you may have fell for me first...but my darling...I definitely fell harder...and I keep falling hard for you every single day. I knew you were the one long before we said 'I do's'. I still knew you were the one while I carried each one of our children...I mean...come on...a pregnant Luthor is bad enough...but a pregnant Luthor turning into a Kryptonian...that was almost a million times worse..."

Lena took pause for everyone's laughter to die down before continuing... "With every strange craving to me accidentally setting a few curtains on fire because you only put five pickles on a peanut butter sandwich instead of six...you stood by my side with unwavering love and support for me. Watching you with our children was my favorite thing to do...especially when you weren't looking...every night you'd stand in their nursery and then their rooms and tell them about Krypton, and all the aliens you fought throughout the years...however my favorite story was when you'd tell them that the only reason you came out as 'Supergirl' was to save your sister. Then you'd always finish the stories by brushing back their hair and reciting Rao's prayer with them...

In moments like those I thought I couldn't love you more...but my heart just kept overflowing with love for you.... Kara...my zhao...my zrhemin...you are my whole world...I couldn't have imagined a life without you in it....I love you Kara Zor-El, Danvers-Luthor." Lena finished her speech and quickly sat back down next to Kara who was wiping away tears.

"Who knew that all it took us to get here was to tell people that we were 'Just Friends'..." Kara whispered. "We were definitely always more than 'Just Friends'....." Lena replied.
