Before You, We had No One

Meet The Family Fail

-Kara's POV-

"Okay people, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" I yell from the door.
"Kara chill, we will be fine. We have plenty of time" Alex replies very chilled as she walks past with a half-dressed Isaac in her arms.
Isaac is dressed in his new blue striped shirt but nothing else other than a nappy.
"Alex, where are Isaac's trousers?" I ask frustratedly.
"We had a bit of an explosion but don't worry, I am getting a new one on right now and it will not take more than a couple of minutes" Alex replies as she runs into my room.
"Kara!" Mon-el yells as he runs into the room.
"What babe?" I ask.
"What tie should I wear with this blue shirt?" he asks as he pulls out a black one and a dark blue one.
"Blue one babe, now hurry up," I tell him.
"I know, I know. Almost done" he replies as he runs into our room as well.
"Bryn!" I yell.
"Yes, Mommy" she replies as she jumps off the sofa and runs towards me.
"Are you already baby?" I ask.
"Yes, Mommy," she says with a proud smile.
"Well done my perfect little angel" I reply with a smile as I pick her up and place a kiss on her head.
"Okay Kara, I am ready," Winn says excitedly as he stands next to us.
"We're ready too" Alex and Mon-el scream as they come running into the room and we all head towards the towards our cars that are parked and ready to go to. 

"We are here" I announce as Winn and I walk over to our table where Hank, Maggie and James are sitting.
"Hey!" they cheer as they all stand up and pass hugs around.
"So where are the rascals?" Hank asks with a chuckle.
"They are here" Mon el yells as he walks up to the table with Isaac in his arms and Alex walks in behind him with Bryn clutching on to her hand.
"They are so cute Kara" Maggie coos with a smile.
I walk over to Alex and Bryn and I pick her up into my arms because I can see she is nervous.
"This is your Uncle James and your Aunt Maggie and this guy here is your Grandpa," I say I point to each person as I explain who they are to her.
"Why don't we sit down" James suggests as he takes a seat.
"We got a waitress to bring a highchair over for Isaac before you came," Maggie says as we all take our seats.

"Mommy, what can I have?" Bryn asks as she looks at the kids’ menu.
"Umm... Well, there are hot dogs and chicken dinosaurs, Macaroni cheese, cheese and tomato pizza, Pesto pasta, meatballs and pasta or Chicken and bacon salad. You choose" I tell her as I look through the menu for my own meal.
“Pesto Pasta" she answers politely.
"Pesto, are you sure? Pesto pasta is made from basil, garlic, oil, grated hard cheese and pine nuts" I tell her.
"Okay Mommy," she says happily.
"Are you extra positive you want it?" I ask, unsure of her choice.
"Yes, Mommy… " She says as she colours in her colouring sheet.

"Here you go, Madame. Your Pesto pasta" One of the male waitresses says as he places a small plate in front of her.
"Thank you" she smiles but I can see she doesn't mean it.
"What's wrong baby?" I ask her.
"It's all green Mommy," she says with confusion in her voice.
"I know baby, basil is green but you can still eat it. It isn't going to poison you because it is green. Try it and see if you like it" I tell her as I dig into my Lasagne.
Bryn looks at it with disgust but eventually, she picks up her forks, places a single piece of pasta on it and hesitantly pops it into her mouth. She chews it and swallows it quickly before sulking in her chair.
"What is wrong Princess?" Mon-el asks.
"I don't like it!" she growls.
"Okay then, why don't you try some of my macaroni cheese. I bet you will like that" he suggests.
"No!" she yells.
"Bryn please keep your voice down" Mon el replies as he tries to keep his cool.
"NO!" she screams.
This time Mon el jumps off his seat and pulls her off hers and drags her to the other side of the restaurant where there is no one seated and kneels in front of her.

"So Kara, what is it like being a Mom?" Hank asks as we continue to tuck into our meals.
"You know it has only been a day right" I chuckle nervously.
"I know but I bet you have had tantrums and screaming already" he laughs.
"Actually we haven't had much of that. Mon-el did have a very angry Bryn yell at him for losing her dress and forgetting where he put it but other than that they have been really well behaved and it's been great" I say.
Not seconds later, a high pitched wail comes from somewhere behind us.
As I look back I see Mon el kneeled in front of Bryn who is having a temper.
"Have fun" Hank laughs as I sit there mortified.
