You're My Hero: A Karamel Family

Bath Time

Mon-El POV:

As much as I love them, Addison and Dylan are a handful. Water. Is. Everywhere.

"ADDISON MATTHEWS! NO SPLASHING!" I yell as I am soaked by Addy. Then by my luck, Dylan starts splashing and laughing as well. I guess I'm not exactly the bad cop in this household.

"Okay, okay. You've had your fun, but this won't happen again, now will it?" I say seriously.

"Fine," says Addy. That girl better watch her attitude. I quickly take her out of the bathtub and give her a Tinker Bell towel with a hood and small pockets, just big enough for her tiny hands.

"Okay, now run into the bedroom, quick!" I yell while tickling and hugging her, after all, I'm already wet. I manage to get Addison all dressed in her adorable new outfit Kara bought her the other day before she ran into the living room.

Kara POV:

"Mama! Mama!" Addy yells as she sprints full speed into the living room.

"Look at my pretty dress!" It was a navy dress with a white heart in the middle, but it was her new gold leather shoes fascinated her the most.

"You look beautiful, baby," states Mon-el as he walks into the room with a warm smile, but I couldn't help but giggle a little bit when I looked at his clothes and hair.

"What? You got a problem?" he said mildly offended until he realized he was soaked head to toe in bath water.
"Oh...whatever." I couldn't have fell in love with a bigger goofball.

Just as Mon-el leaves the room to clean up his slightly disgusting appearance, a knock on the door catches my attention.

"Okay Addison, this is it. Are you ready to meet your Aunt Alex and Grandma Eliza?"

"YES!" Addy squeals excitedly as I kiss the top of her tiny blonde head and run to open the door.

"Hey!" Alex says as she walks in the door with Eliza following close behind.

"So where's the newest addition to the Danvers family?" asks Eliza.

"Actually," Mon-el says slyly (also timed perfectly, as usual), "newest additions," with an emphasis on the S.

"Oh my-"

"No way! That's amazing!" Eliza exclaims as she hugs me. "Is this one of them?" she states smiling as she turns around me to see Addison. I walk up to her and bend down only for Addy to immediately hide behind my back.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm your Auntie Alex," says Alex as I spin around on my back foot to make sure she can see my tiny daughter.

"You can go up and hug her. It's ok, baby," I whisper so only Addison can hear. Slowly but surely, she walks up to Alex and they embrace. Both of their eyes shined and glittered in the natural light that poured into the loft from the outside world, all of which seemed to be nothing to them as they hugged for what felt like an eternity.

"Look, there's your grandma. Wanna go hug her too?" whispers Alex.

"Only if Mommy and Daddy come too," the little girl replies softly. All this time I had spent admiring my sister and daughter, I had not even thought of Mon-el. He was standing with his arm placed gently on my shoulder and was taken completely off guard when Addy asked for him, as was I. I guess Alex and Addison weren't the only ones oblivious to the rest of the world.

As a family, we walked up to Eliza and hugged her with a mighty strength. Not a physical one, but an emotional one. A bond. A bond never to be broken.

"Are we ready to go Addison?" Eliza stated.

"Um... Mama?" asked Addison questionably as if asking for permission.

"Well go on!" Mon-El yelled as he picked her up and flew around the room for a moment until he placed her in Alex's arms - still squealing happily from her minor playtime with Daddy before she left.

"Okay, have fun you guys! BE SAFE!" I said as I gave Addy a kiss on the cheek and they walked away.
