Hidden Truth

Deadly Secrets: Chapter 2

Kara couldn't understand why Alura kept crying, she had fed her, bathed her, and changed her. Why on earth was her child still crying. Kara took her phone out and called the only person she could think of.

"Hello" Eliza said answering her phone.

"Eliza I need your help. Please she won't stop crying." Kara whined, wanting to cry herself. Alura had been crying since last night. Kara explained to her foster mother about how Alura was well fed, changed and clean.

"Kara do you have a thermometer with you?"

"I do." Kara said as she went through the babies things trying to find it. Finally she found it and took her daughter's temperature.

"What's it say?"

"102.4." Kara answered as her concern began to rise. Her baby had gotten sick right under her nose and she couldn't do anything. Eliza explained to Kara what to do and Kara thanked her. Placing her phone on the counter she began to undress the still crying child. Finally when Alura was only in a diaper, Kara lifted her up and began her fourth attempt to get Alura to stop crying. A knock came from down stairs and Kara sighed. She may be supergirl but she was tired of having to go up and down then all the time. Letting Cat make her move out of the apartment to this penthouse wasn't the greatest thing ever. Yes it had more space and two floors and a swimming pool but Kara still missed her small apartment. Using her x-Ray vision Kara was shocked. What the heck is she doing here? Kara asked herself as she open the door.

"Hope I'm not intruding." Lena said as her eyes saw Kara and she couldn't help think how cute Kara looked in her messy ponytail, glasses nearly falling off, and the pjs she was still wearing at three in the afternoon.

"Not at all." Kara assured. "Come in." Kara moved out of the way to let Lena in. Lena stepped in and placed her bag and jacket on the couch. Lena was surprised she didn't pin Kara for fancy type of person. When she dropped Kara off a few days ago she didn't step into the penthouse. The light brown walls, the furniture in the house completely black and painting hung up also a few pictures of her and Alura were around the house. One picture caught her attention it was Cat holding what seemed to be a new born Alura and all Lena could read off the picture was pure love and happiness.

"I didn't mean to bother you its just. I wanted to bring you this." The whole time Lena had had her hand behind her back and revealed a bouquet of white roses. Kara smiled at Lena's gesture. Lena looked at the squirming little girl in her arms. Lena placed the bouquet down and took the baby from Kara.

"You shouldn't have." Kara said. "She has a fevers so she might be fussy." Kara warned but Alura was clam with Lena. She was awake but no longer crying. If Kara knew this she would have called Lena last night.

"You should have called me last night." Lena said with a smile.

"I said that out loud didn't I." Lena gave a small nod and Kara could feel the heat increasing in her cheeks. She had said that out loud. When Lena's phone rang Kara knew very well that Lena would be leaving soon and that Alura was going to be crying non-stop again.

"I won't be going back in cancel all my meetings." Those word had Kara's full attention. Had Lena just canceled all her meeting for her. No she couldn't be that important to the woman right? Kara was thankful that she had the day off, or else Cat would be yelling at her for something she didn't even know she had to do. Kara and Lena sat down on the living room watching tv as Kara enjoyed the silence. Alura wasn't crying but every now and then she'd do a small whimper and Kara's heart would ache for the little neon blue eyed girl. When they got hungry Kara decided to cook. She ended up making spaghetti. Walking over to Lena she managed to trip and spill it all over Lena who had moved Alura out of the way.
