In the morning Lena woke up to an empty bed. Curious to where Kara was she got up and quickly went to the bathroom before going to check on Lori only to find her crib empty. Suddenly she heard singing coming from the kitchen. Lena began making her way downstairs and into the kitchen to see Kara holding Lori in her arms as she made breakfast. The blonde was singing to their daughter as she flipped pancakes. "Good morning my darlings!" Lena greeted with a smile. "Oh! Good morning Lee! We're making breakfast! Aren't we darling? Yes we are!" Kara cooed. "How long have you been up?" Lena asked. "Only an hour or so, Lori got up early and was hungry so I decided to let you sleep in and make some breakfast with my little helper." Kara replied.

After breakfast Lena took Lori while Kara showered and got dressed. "Did you help momma make breakfast?" Lena cooed to Lori. Lori responds by blowing raspberries back. "Oh you did! Did you? That's a good girl!" Lena cooed. Lena continued walking around the living room holding Lori in her arms as she continued to talk to her. Kara was just getting out of the shower and drying off when she heard Lena talking to their youngest daughter. She wondered what Alura was up to and considered texting Sara to see but changed her mind.

A few minutes later she entered the living room to see Lena swaying back and forth with Lori in her arms. Sneakily she pulled her phone out and snapped a photo of them. "Hey darling....have a nice shower?" Lena asked. "Yes I did." Kara replied. "Good, she's been fed, burped and changed again...and is ready to have her momma hold her now." Lena replied. "Well come here Lori! Mommy's gotta go wash her stinky off." Kara teased as she held Lori. "If you weren't holding our daughter right now...I'd make you eat those words." Lena replied laughing.
