Two plus six plus five equals family

Chapter 27

Fifteen years later...

"I'm so happy to see you again," Lena said to her youngest son, who was twenty-three by now. "You have been in Paris for weeks and I've missed you."

"I missed you, too, mother," Lucius replied, hugging Lena. "My wife and I bear good news," he said, smiling as he beckoned Emily closer.

Kara tried to contain her excitement. Her sensitive ears already picked up on what the news was going to be. This was the kind of news she loved to hear and she loved how it always made Lena's eyes sparkle.

"Do tell, sweetheart," Lena said, smiling as she sat down on the couch. Her house had gotten too big after her children began to move out, leaving only Lizzie, her eighteen year old daughter to still live with her wife and her.

"Emily is pregnant," Lucius announced, lifting his chin. "You will be a grandmother again."

"Congratulations," Kara said to Lucius and Emily, while her sweet wife was too moved by tears to respond. "This is going to be our fifth grandchild," she said to Lena, happy how their family kept expanding.

"I am happy for you both, sweetheart," Lena said to her youngest son, trying not to tear up.

The DEO hadn't been too keen on Logan marrying Kitty, Larissa marrying Vladimir, Lorraine marrying Aden and Lucius marrying Emily, given their other halves all originated from Gotham. The DEO came around though, for the most part. Lena had been adamant how flawed parents didn't mean the children would be bad as well, which she was living proof of.

Emily was the Riddler's daughter, but she was sweet to the core and wouldn't even harm a fly. Kitty still had a bit of a snippy attitude at times and she pulled some stuff sometimes, though she never went further than teasing people. Vladimir was quite the gentleman and wasn't taunting like his parents were. Aden was a nice young man as well, who only did good things in Gotham, not bad things.

"Another child in this family which is going to get spoiled," Lucy said, smiling at her wife who seemed fixated on Emily, likely listening to the unborn child's heart. She had no doubt Astra was going to be there for all of Kara and Lena's grandchildren as much as she had been there for their children.

Lucius glanced at Jamie, more particularly at the tanned young woman next to her. "My dear cousin, I take it this is your fiancée?" he asked Jamie.

"Yes, this is my beautiful fiancée," Jamie confirmed, smiling. "Valentina, esta es mi familia," (Valentina, this is my family) she said to her fiancée. "Lucius, this is Valentina."

That vacation in Spain two years ago sure ended with a souvenir," Maggie said, holding her wife's hand while she gazed at Jamie, who couldn't stop smiling.

"Mhmm," Alex hummed. "Look how happy our baby girl is."

"It is a pleasure to meet you," Lucius said to Valentina. "Welcome to our family or shall I say Bienvenido a nuestra familia?"

"I learn English," Valentina replied, glancing at Jamie. "Yes?"

"Close, mi amor," Jamie answered, resting a hand at the small of Valentina's back.

"We can converse in any language you prefer," Larissa said to Valentina.

"Yes, yes, you speak every language," Jamie replied, rolling her eyes and chuckling. "It's an unfair skill."

"My genes made me a polyglot, yours made you gay," Larissa teased, laughing when Jamie slapped her arm. "I love you all the same, cous."

"Daddy, can I have another cookie?"
