Hidden Truth

Chapter 6

Cat sat on her living room couch enjoying the movie her and her son were watching. Carter happily munched on popcorn.

"Mom?" The young boy called.

"Yes Carter?" Cat looked down giving her son her full attention.

"Can we invite Kara over tomorrow for dinner and a movie." Cat wanted so badly to say no but she knew she couldn't say no to those pleading blue eyes.

"Of course Carter I'll text her after the movie." Carter snuggles closer to his mom and smiled. When the movie came to end Cat notice Carter had fallen asleep. She slowly stood up and laid the boy across the couch. I'm getting to old for this. Cat told herself as she thought of the possibility of carrying her son to his room. Cat went upstairs grabbed a blanket and went back down stairs to cover Carter. Before heading back upstairs Cat made sure all the doors were locked.

As Cat sat comfortably on her bed she couldn't help but replay the others day event in her head. Kara panicking about the baby kicking and how she calmed her down. Also how they were going to kiss until the devil spawn of a Lane decided to cry. Cat kept her word and texted Kara. However Kara said no but invited Cat and Carter to join her for family night. Cat hesitated at first but agreed only of corse for Carter.

Alex was taking out all the snacks everyone had brought for family night. While doing that Alex noticed something unusual.
"Kara why do we have so much food?" Kara gave her sister a sweet, innocent, nervous smile. Alex knew that smile too well it was the smile Kara did everytime she was trying to hide something. "Kara Danvers what did you do!?"

"Nothing!" Kara defended herself right away. "But since you're all her did I forget to mention that i-invitedCatGrantandCarter." Kara speeded to the last few words of her statement.

"You did what?" James and Winn asked socked. Before the fight could go on there was knock on the door and there she was Cat and Carter. Kara let them in and smiled. Saved by the devil again. And she silently thanked Cat's timing. Cat handed Kara a 24 pack of beer she had bought for them.

"Oh un thank you Miss Grant." Winn took the case away from Kara and put it on the table. Alex opened the box right away and opened a beer she was going to need it if she wanted to make it threw the night with out killing Kara. Carter made his way passed his mother and hugged Kara.

"Miss Grant, Carter welcome. I believe you guys know everyone except Hank." Kara introduced them. Then the games began. Everyone split into two teams. Guys vs girls. It was Lucy, Alex, Kara, and Cat against Winn, Carter, James, and Hank. The night began with a game of charades, then twister and the last game was monopoly. Everyone had finished all their money except Cat and Kara.

"Alright mom you can win if you don't roll a six!" Carter warned his mother. Cat smirked.

"Don't worry my son your mother never loses." Cat stated with confidence. With that Cat released the dice and rolled a six. Kara jumped up of excitement. The game was over Cat had officially gone bankrupt. Everyone did their part in helping clean and gathering food and snacks to take to the living room.

"We're not done yet Miss Grant." Alex found herself stopping her sister's boss. "You can go if you like but we usually end after we watch a movie." Cat smiled and walked back to the living room. Carter had already gotten comfortable on Kara's lap and had his hand on her belly.

"Carter!" Cat shouted. "Get off her-"

"Cat it's fine. He won't hurt me all he wanted to do was feel the baby kick." Kara explained. She really didn't mind having the boy sit on her lap.
