In My Dreams

Chapter 13

Lena's POV

I was nervous beyond belief to finally tell Kara about my dreams. I hoped that even if she rejected me that we could be friends. I couldn't imagine a world without her. My body began to burn since we were in the same bed and I was about to confess my feelings.

"What about them?" she asked concerned. She sat up to look at me and seemed to think that they were nightmares. Some are...... but most are some I dont want to wake up from.

"W-well.... I been having dreams about you. More specifically us. I dont know what they mean but they feel so real sometimes" I start. Kara looks at me intently and nods for me to go on.

"The first one was basically whats happening now. I woke up to you beside me and I know it sounds strange," I paused, " but it didnt feel like usual. It wasn't just friends that had a sleep over or you comforting me while I was down. It was something more than that, and I dont want to make you uncomfortable I just couldnt hide this anymore. It just felt.... right."

Kara said nothing and stared at me. All aspects of my professional self left and I stood up from the bed, unable to stop the burning from being near her.

"There was this room. I had never been there before and there was a screen. It had my name and at the very bottom it said 'soulmate'. Your name was there, Kara. I was so confused and I didnt know if it was just my imagination turned into a dream, but it just kept popping up. There was then a man in another dream and he said that the bond was sealed or to seal the bond. In many ways I do feel a bond, not in a bad way, but in a connection kind of way that I didnt want to let go of." I continued rambling on about my dreams and didnt realize I had started pacing. Kara had stood up from the bed and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Lena" she whispered. A single tear escaped the corner of my eye and I stood frozen beneath her touch.

"I didnt tell you before because we had just met and I didnt want to risk losing you" I whispered back. "I probably did anyway."

Kara wrapped her arms around me in an embrace and I cried softly. I could feel her nuzzle my neck and tingles shot up my spine.

"I feel that too. I was so afraid to tell you the dreams because I thought I was the only one" she murmured. I pulled back enough to look at her face. "The Soulmates Bond is something that happened on Krypton. When a Kryptonian turned 12, they were sent to a 'searching room'. It would tell them their life path of the past and present. The only thing it ever said of the future was the person that was destined to be yours. Your Soulmate."

Tears began to come down her cheeks and I waited for her to finish.

"My planet was destroyed before I could go. I thought that my soulmate had died along with everyone else I loved, but you were never on Krypton. You were right here. And as much pain comes with remembering that time, you made me feel better. I could finally see a light through my darkest memory" she finished. She gave me a small smile and I laughed softly with joy. Her arms tightened around me and I brought my own to her face.

"I love you Lena Kieran Luthor" she whispered.

"Zor-El" I murmured. She looked at me confused and I laughed. "The man in my dream, he said that it was sealed. I am Lena Kieran Zor-El now."

Kara's face lit up like the fourth of july and she spun me around. I leaned into the kiss that I had been waiting for and it deepened. Kara began to pull away after a few moments and I whimpered as the loss.

"I would love to continue but we have to be careful. The bond is sealed so..." she trailed off and I cocked my head to the side slightly. "Once the bond is sealed you could..."

I narrowed my eyes at her for a moment before understanding dawned on me.

"Really?" I whispered. She nodded her head and I could see a bright blush on her cheeks.

"Kara are you really worried about getting me pregnant?" I laughed. I ran my fingers through her hair as her cheeks grew darker.

"We've only just met! Let alone confess we were Soulmates. I didnt know if you really wanted kids" she mumbled. I chuckled and leaned against her chest. She was taller than I, so I got on my tiptoes and kissed the tip of her nose.

"If you would like to do this properly before that happens. Please, marry me" I whispered. I felt her stiffen and I was worried that I had gone too far, too fast.

"I'm going to have to get used to you beating me at things aren't I?" she chuckled.

"Was that a yes?" I questioned nervously.

"You already have my last name. Might as well tell Earth of it right?" Kara laughed.

"Techincally I wouldnt be allowed to use our last name. I will gladly change my Earth name to Danvers though" I smile. Kara gives me a toothy grin and I can see tears in her eyes.

Kara's POV

My insides felt like jelly. Lena Luthor just asked me to marry her. And I said yes!? My thoughts were racing. We were discussing what would happen once we were married and Lena insisted that I become my own writer. She had first said that I wouldnt work at all, but we compromised since I still wanted to at least write. It was strange to be planning all of this. I knew that this would also be a big shock as soon as the press were to find out.

I typed furiously on my laptop to finish an article. I had a lunch date with Lena and wanted to be able to spend as much time as possible with her. I was so engrossed in my screen I didnt notice my door open.

Arms circled around my neck from behind and a light kiss was pressed to my shoulder. With the dress I was wearing I could feel it on my bare skin and set it aflame.

"Kara, darling, you're stealing the workaholic light from me" she murmured in my ear. I giggled as her breath tickled me.

"I'm done. Where did you want to have lunch today?" I smiled. I stood from my chair and grabbed my coat. Lena wrapped her arm around my waist and pressed a kiss to my jawline, making my knees nearly buckle.

"Our spot will be fine" she responded.

We walked down to the cafe and the waiter immediately knew what we wanted.

"How would you feel about the cafe catering our wedding" Lena asked quitely. I looked up from my food to see her biting her lip nervously.

"I think that would be very us" I smile.

The rest of our meal goes by with more planning and suggestions. We thought about who we might invite and where we might have it. I enjoyed seeing the sparkle in Lena's eyes as she told me all of her dreams of her wedding day. I would wear a potato sack for our wedding if that's what she wanted. I just wanted to be able to call her mine for all to hear.
