Chapter 3 // Waking Up

Lena slowly blinked, she rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. She had the weirdest dream ever. One about Kara, who was married to her. Which surprised her, because Kara could never ever love her like Lena loved her, which was quite some love because, what wasn't there to love about Kara? From her bad manners at dinner to her caring about everybody.

Lena sat up, and almost jumped out of bed when she heard somebody speak up. "Good to see you awake!" It was Kara. Lena looked at her and her mouth slowly fell open, it wasn't a dream. Suddenly Kara's hand was on her shoulder and she said, "Lena, you're okay right? Nothing hurts? If you are going to be worried about me or the kids, we are fine." Lena slowly nodded with her mouth still agape, because many thoughts were racing through Lena's mind. But one really stood out, since Kara said kids. Did they have kids? Was all of it not a lie?

Kara's expression changed a bit, from nervous, Lena didn't know why, to worried. In a calm and caring voice Kara spoke up again, "Lena, whatever it is. You can talk to me. If it's problems with L-Corp or the kids, whatever it is we can fix it." Lena thought L-Corp. Is that like Luthorcorp? Apparently, it didn't go unnoticed by Kara because her wife or whatever Kara was spoke up again, "Look, I know you can get stressed whenever you are working on a new project and it isn't going that good. But Lena, we still have the list if needed."

Lena slowly nodded, and then shook her head. "I-I don't know what's wrong. I just don't feel like myself." Kara nodded and squeezed her shoulder. Lena was relieved to see Kara playing along with the safe answer, but she didn't show that she was happy because that was always dangerous in such a situation. Because Lena absolutely had no idea what was happening.

"Do we need to go to the therapist again? Because I will make time for you of course. Don't worry about my job." Lena looked Kara directly in the eyes. She had previously been staring at the far end of her hospital bed. "And if needed we can get Lucy or Alex to help you. We can even ask Sam to take over your duties as CEO."

Lena nodded and spoke up "I- I don't want them to worry or have a bigger burden on their shoulder-"

Kara cut her off. "Lena! No! Of course, they don't think of it in that way. We are all a big family. I can even ask Eliza to come to National City to look after the kids if that's what you need."

Lena sighed and looked at her hands. She was going to feel terrible about this, but she slowly nodded and said, "You are right. That might the best option right now-I-It's a bigger problem than I thought, and not having an extra thing I need to look after is better. And- We could ask Sam to- help at L-Corp. While I work part-time or something like that. Since we both know I cannot not work." Kara chuckled and nodded. Whoever that Sam was going to be quite busy.

Kara stood up and placed a kiss on Lena's forehead. She sat down and said, "I am proud of you. I know choosing something like this is quite difficult for you. But you did it, you choose to take some time off. Hopefully you won't need as much time as Cat to find yourself, but I will be there every step of the way. Understood?" Lena looked up at Kara and saw determination in her eyes, so she nodded. "Good, that means I will take some time off from my job too. Catco might have some problems without me there, but I trust James." Lena nodded again. James, meaning James Olsen? The quarterback of the school, the popular guy? Wow, she didn't expect that.

"We can even get Winn into this, so you can be nerdy about something. But I don't think that is needed, we need to be minimalistic, right?" Kara's started to sound more unsure by the word. So, Lena tried to test her luck and did something she had dreamed of for years, well, months since she hadn't known Kara for that long yet. She moved a bit on her bed and leaned towards Kara, looking for any sign of dislike. When she saw none, she kissed Kara, slowly and carefully. But she kissed Kara!. And she absolutely enjoyed it.

After a couple seconds their lips moved in sync, not a single moment of their perfect kiss felt wrong. Lena moved her hands to Kara's cheeks and pulled her closer, not breaking the kiss for a moment. Kara's hands found her hips as she pulled her out of the bed and on her lap, Lena would have yelped if she could think clearly, but she couldn't. The only thought available in her mind was how hot Kara was, nothing else.

Minutes later, when Lena had her legs wrapped around Kara, she broke the kiss and gasped for air. She rested her head against Kara's, who had this grin on her face. When Lena had enough air in her lungs to talk, she asked, "What?"

Kara looked her directly in the eyes and said, "That made me think of our first kiss, it started just like it and developed like it. Back then we were sitting on my bed at home, but I lifted you on my lap and you- you had your hands on my face all the time. You later said, 'I just needed to feel you- I thought that it all was a fantasy.' Maybe we didn't use your tongues back then, but it was a fucking good kiss."

Lena fake gasped and put a hand, her hands were resting around Kara's neck, to her heart and said "Kara 'Sunny' Danvers cussing, wow. It must be my lucky day..."

Kara chuckled and said, "Only for you, my love." And with that she gave Lena a short kiss on the lips.

Somebody cleared their throat in the room which made them both turn towards the sound. Lena was a bit irritated and Kara was- Kara. Red as hell. Alex Danvers in the flesh stood there, holding some sort of clipboard. "Hello Lena, how are you feeling?"

Lena looked at Kara who nodded, "We-I-I am going to work a bit less, I just don't feel like myself these days." Alex nodded along with the story and wrote something down. "We are going to ask Eliza to spend some time with the children." Alex looked up from her clipboard with a raised eyebrow, so Lena explained, "I-I don't know what is happening but it all feels wrong. And- I hope some time off with Kara could fix it." Alex nodded and clicked her pen shut.

"I might have an answer for your problems-"

Kara immediately interrupted, "What? Please, tell us."

Alex gave Kara a pointed look and looked back to Lena before she spoke up again, "You're pregnant."
