"So how far along are you now ?" Kara asked looking at Sam's abdomen. "Just hit our fourth month mark. However we haven't been able to get to see what we're having." Sam grumbled. "Oh? How come?" Lena asked. "The little bugger won't show us! They keep their legs closed." Alex replied. Kara and Lena chuckled at the response. "Well he or she probably just wants to wait till they come out to show you." Lena added. "That's what our doctor says too. But I want to know what color to paint the nursery." Sam groaned. "We'll have them try again when we go back." Alex replied reassuring her wife.

Sam and Alex only stayed a little bit longer before they had to leave again. After saying their goodbyes to everyone they left for home. Right now Eliza was on the sofa with her granddaughters watching a movie together. "What are you three watching?" Kara asked as she walked over to them. "Grandma put on Mulan! I think Lori likes it too!" Alura piped up. "Oh does she? That's good huh?" Lena asked. "Yes momma it is!" Alrua replied with a smile.

Kara and Lena took seats on the other sofa and curled up together. They weren't really interested in watching the cartoon however, instead they watched the interaction between Eliza and their daughters. Eliza would listen to Alura sing along to all the songs and coo things to Lori so neither child went without attention from their grandma. After the movie ended Eliza passed Lori off to Kara who took her and lay her in the swing before hugging Eliza. "Thank you for coming today mom!" Kara said. "Anytime! We had fun didn't we love bug?" Eliza asked looking down at Alura. "Yes Grandma we did!" Alura replied as she hugged her too before Eliza went to hug Lena. "I'll see you all later! Be good Alura!" Eliza called as she left the house.

"Ok! I'm gonna go change Lori, Alura why don't you get changed and finish your homework." Lena said. "Ok momma!" Alura replied as she wandered off upstairs to get her homework to do at the table with Kara. "Come on love bug! Let's go get you cleaned up while momma helps your big sister do her homework." Lena cooed as she walked off upstairs.
