Point me home

Kara could feel eyes on her but she didn't want to open her eyes yet so turning back over in bed she pretends to go back to sleep. Smiling slightly when she feels small hands poke her "Mama wake up I'm hungry and you promised we could go to the park today!" A young voice says excitedly. Kara with her eyes still shut turns and grabs the young child who replies with a little scream and a laugh "Mama!" giggles ripple through the early morning air.
Kara opens her eyes and is met with the sight of messy blonde hair and bright blue eyes "Morning young man" Kara says peppering the young boys face with kisses and smirks as he puffs his chest out at the mention of being a young man.

"Morning Mama, we going to eat breakfast now before we meet auntie Alex and Maggie?" He asks leaning back on Kara's raised legs "Sure we can have pancakes, Mama needs to shower and so do you, you so stinky" Kara says holding her nose making her little boy laugh.
"Go shower and change and I'll come out after and make breakfast and I'll text Alex and see what she's up too and ask if her and Maggie can come join us okay?" Kara asks stroking her boys hair, he nods and hops of Kara's lap and starts walking to the bathroom by his room "Make sure you wash behind your ears young man!" Kara shouts and gets a grumble as a reply. Laughing to herself Kara gets up and goes to her bathroom getting ready for the day.

When Kara next see's her son he's wearing  jeans and a white top with a black jacket finished with his black rimmed glasses much like her own. Suddenly Kara is overcome with sadness, her baby is growing up so much. She's brought out of her thoughts when her phone rings "Hey Alex, how are you?" Kara says cheerfully "Hey Kar, yeah I'm good, me and Maggie can meet you and Cameron at the park at 11, he can play then we can go for lunch? Our treat?" Alex says and you can hear she's trying to get changed cause she's moving around "Yeah that sounds good what you think Cam?" Kara asks looking at her son who's now sat at the table and poured himself juice he just nods "Then it's settled we'll see you then" Kara says to her sister. "Okay see you guys later, love you guys" Alex says and hanging up after the two blondes say love you back.

After making the pancakes Kara sets them on the table "Dig in Champ" she says sitting down. They eat for a while in silence "Hey Mama?" Cameron asks looking at Kara "Hmm, what's up?" she replies still reading the paper "When do I see Mum?" He asks Kara looks up "Oh right yeah, you're seeing her Next week remember you're there while I'm on my business trip for the week" she says smiling at her son "Oh yeah, cool. Can she come over for dinner soon? I miss her" he pouts, sighing Kara puts the paper down reaching out for Cameron's hand "I know honey, I feel the same way" Kara responds trying not to tear up and show that this conversation with her son is hurting her "Mum is busy a lot, but she made time too see you next week how about this, I can ask her to look after you more if you wanted if she says yes we can go out for dinner the night before I leave for my trip the three of us and you can go home with her from there" she says smiling at her son covering up the fact she's breaking slightly inside and is slightly hurt her son wants to spend less time with her.
"That sounds awesome" Cameron smiles "I can't wait!" getting up and hugging Kara "Yeah well don't get your hope up to high okay bud, go brush your teeth I wanna go to the shop before we meet Aunt Alex and Maggie.

Watching her son playing in the park with a friend he met from school always made Kara smile, she always worried being a single mother would make things harder for him but she worked hard and went to the ends of the earth for her son.
Turning she smiles as Alex hands her a hot chocolate "So tell us what's on your mind Kar" Alex says and Maggie leans forward on picnic table they have gathered on. Pushing her glasses up Kara turns to look at her son "I don't think Cameron wants to live with me anymore, he asked about Lena today, said he missed her he wants us to have dinner together like a family" Kara says her voice raising slighly and Alex puts a hand on Kara's "Breath lil' Danvers" Maggie says and Alex nods "Yeah what did you say to him? About dinner?" Alex asks.
"I told him I'd try, I mean I miss her too, I was married to her we got married at 20 half way through college by 21 we had a child then at 25 it was over I'm 31 and not over her. But how can I tell him that I practically raised him, that work always came first then Jess came in her dam assistant and I had to find out through Winn she cheated on me, she didn't even try fight for me and Cameron. its been 6 years and Jess is still in the picture so I believe, not that I really talk to her anyway apart from for Cameron." Kara says her breaking shaking.

"Look Kar, I think Cam just wants to spend time with Lena, doesn't mean he doesn't love you, he wants to be you so dammed much, but it's just how I want to see J'onn even though he's not really my dad but he was there for me, doesn't mean I don't love dad any less,give her a call, the worst that'll happen is that you'll have to have me or Mags drop Cam at Lena's not you" Alex says pulling her sister into a tight hug.
"She better hope it's not be I'll punch sense into her" Maggie says getting up "Hey Cam come on bud last one to the car is a loser" Maggie shouts and the Danvers smile at seeing Maggie run at a slow jog behind Cameron and fake cry at being a 'loser' when he beat her to the car.

Lena leans back in her chair sighing as she drops her pen, its now 8PM and she's still in the office. She knows she works too much, it's what ruined her marriage but it's all she really has for her now. Reaching out Lena picks up a photo she's kept on her desk for years now its a much younger Lena holding her son who's pretending to be a monkey and Kara is laughing with her arms around the two.
Lena hasn't ever gotten over Kara, she hasn't wanted too. But it was her fault and she need's to take what comes, stroking the picture Lena can't help the flashes of memories of teenage Kara and herself laying under the stars, at prom, on their first date, their first fight, their marriage, finding out Kara was pregnant. What she'd do for that again.

It's like the earth knew Lena was thinking of her ex wife because suddenly her phone rang and a picture of Kara and Cameron came up on her screen, steadying her breathing Lena picks up.
"Kara, hello is everything okay?" Lena asks
"Oh-uh hey L-Lena yeah everything good, fantastic, amazing why wouldn't it be?" Kara replies suddenly defensive.
"You rang me Kara that doesn't happen unless it's to do with Cameron and because it's this late it could of been anything" Lena says rolling her eyes, yes she still loves Kara but doesn't mean she doesn't get a little hurt how defensive Kara can quickly become now.
"Oh, right yeah sorry, well talking of Cam, he wanted to know that if on Friday you'd come for dinner with Cam and I, he really wants it" and so do I Kara thinks "I mean it'll be easier because he could just go home with you after dinner right?" Kara says now nervous.
"Well I have meeting's all day until 6-" Lena is cut off by Kara
"Oh right well you're busy as usual, it's fine I'll just have Alex drop him off on Saturday" Kara respond's hoping Lena doesn't hear how hurt she is "Goodnight Lena-" Lena cuts Kara off
"Kara I'll be there for dinner, when and where?" Lena says biting her lip. Theres silence before the raven haired woman gets a reply
"We'll go to Cam's favourite Pizza Plaza at 6:30pm, I'll bring his bag for the week." Kara tells Lena and Lena jots all this down.
"See you then Kara, Goodnight"
"Goodnight, sleep tight"
Lena was about to reply when she heard the discounted sound "Sleep right" Lena whispers the ending of Kara's little saying she'd been saying since they started dating at 15 years old.

Gathering her things Lena picks up her keys puts her heels back on and locks her door "Holly, clear my whole day on Friday I've got family matters to attend too" Lena says with a sway of her hips and she's gone, ignoring the look Holly is giving her.
