You and Alex have survived a lot and come out the other end stronger, but when shadows from someone else's past return, you will have to fight together again to protect your family.
With the Christmas holidays in full swing, the extended Danvers/Luthor family had boarded the plane headed for Lapland and their short but fun family vacation.
Alex had spent the flight grumpy, her mood not helped by the fact she had been sat next to the biggest she knew, her sister.
Somehow Alex had ended up not next to her wife, but Kara (Y/n) sat behind them with Lena and Connor. Alex complained about that, but no one took any notice except Connor, but he was too happy sat next to Lena to move for his Aunt.
Nineteen hours on a plane and two stops made Alex's mood continue to grow darker, why couldn't they have gone in Lena's private jet why had they gone commercial?
Alex had been deterred when she had made her way back from the bathroom at one point and found (Y/n), and Lena watching Gentleman Jack and proceeded to complain that her wife wouldn't be rewatching Wynonna Earp and she had no idea what she saw in corsets.
(Y/n) had simply laughed, aware that when her wife was aggravated by one thing, everything got to her. She would make it up to Alex when they landed.
Which when they finally did, Alex had, even more, to complain about because they lost her suitcase. Not Kara's or (Y/n)'s and also Lena's was safe and in one piece but Alex's.
(Y/n) had watched her wife quietly simmering away, this hadn't been in the plan. (Y/n) had assured her wife that the perk of being married to a woman meant it was more comfortable in these situations, Alex could just share hers.
This had not helped matters.
"Lena has a private jet. Why couldn't we have used that? I'd still have my belongings then," Alex said, pacing the floor of their hotel room.
(Y/n) sat leaning against the pillows of the bed watching Alex pace back and forth, her mind ticking over too fast. (Y/n) just shrugged in reply.
"Then we have to share a cab with them to the hotel as if hours on a damn plane sitting next to Kara and having her harass the flight attendants for food every two seconds."Alex was on a roll. She had a very long list of complaints, and she wasn't about to stop now. "Oh and that's if I ignore her frequent trips to the bathroom, what was she doing in there?"
"No idea, maybe taking a break from her neighbor Mrs. Sunshine." (Y/n) supplied. "Hey, sweety forget that now we're here only for a few days let's enjoy the time we have together."
"We have no time together, we have Kara Lena and Connor around us, it's supposed to be our first anniversary (Y/n)." Alex sighed sadly.
"We're not here for our anniversary, and you know it, Alex." (Y/n) rolled her eyes.
"Oh yeah, the onesie," Alex replied, disappointed.

"Can you stop pouting, please? You know damn well I didn't get the onesie, I mean I did for Yogi and Bear cause they'll be cute but don't you think I'd get my wife, the woman I love more than anything a good anniversary gift for our first anniversary?" (Y/n) wanted to roll her eyes again, but she worried too much eye rolling would do permanent damage.
Alex continued to pout her bottom lip sticking up above the upper lip; the annoying thing was she looked adorable. (Y/n) only hoped that she wouldn't teach that trick to their children.
Children.
The idea of little Alex lookalikes suddenly took root in her head, small short legs, and big know it all attitudes. Smaller variations of Alex's smug grin whenever she knew she was right about something or believed she was right about something.
A lump lodged in her throat and her eyes stung with the threat of tears, why wouldn't these strange unwanted emotions disappear? It wasn't as though she and Alex never had children. They just weren't having them right now or in the near future.
"I need the bathroom." (Y/n) said quickly, excusing herself and rushing to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

(Y/n) had pulled herself together by the time it was time to head out, Lena and Kara had taken Connor to see Santa Claus but (Y/n) wanted to do something different, and she couldn't think of anything more romantic than a sleigh ride with Alex.
That was the plan anyway, glide through the snowy forest and thaw Alex's, sudden icy heart.
(Y/n) pulled the blanket further over herself and cuddled closer to Alex, laying her head on her wife's shoulder. A big smile spreading across her lips, it was the perfect moment the sound of horse hooves hitting the snow.
"You see how wonderfully romantic this is." (Y/n) sighed happily.
Alex had to agree it was, she knew she'd been grumpy and ungrateful, but she'd been upset that she would get no alone time with her wife. "You never said you would arrange solo events for us to do alone," Alex whispered.
"I know I didn't, but I would have thought that was obvious, when do I ever not try to get you alone?" (Y/n) asked amused.
"That is what you're well known for." Alex laughed. "This is nice, though, just you and me gliding through a winter paradise."
"Are you now glad we came?" (Y/n) asked, turning to face Alex and waiting.
"Maybe," Alex smirked.
"You know what I was thinking?" (Y/n) said, biting the side of her cheek.
"What?"
"Like, maybe I was kind of thinking that imagine how sweet this would be with a little Alex sat on your knee." (Y/n) cheeks flushed bright red.
"What?"
(Y/n) began to feel self-conscious. It felt weird because she'd been the one to say they should wait, that she wasn't ready, and yet more and more she thought she was. "Nothing, just thinking out loud."
"Yes, but what were you thinking?" Alex asked, trying to garner more insight into her wife's words.
"I know I said we should wait, but we don't know how long it will take to replicate the Kryptonian birthing chamber or whatever it's called."
Hope suddenly filled Alex's chest. "Are you saying we should start for children now?"
(Y/n) hesitated.
"Because (Y/n) I'd love to but is now the right time for you, with your issues recently."
"Alex, we don't know how long it could take to build the chamber thingy Kryptonians used if we start now that makes sense." Alex was right (Y/n) knew, but the super also knew that time wasn't on their side if they wanted to begin their family Lena would have first to invent the vehicle that carried their child.
Alex looked ahead; everything was white except the wood of the hedges at the sides of the road. They brought a touch of nostalgia as Alex began recalling that one winter her parents had taken her to New York, the park had seemed so ancient and Dickensian under a blanket of snow.
It didn't take very much to imagine sharing this with their little ones. Eager little voices gasping with excitement and pointing happily around while calls of "Mommy look!" would fill her ears.
It was what she had been longing for, to be a mother and to share these moments with them. Alex smiled, turning her gaze back to (Y/n). "Okay, let's do it."
"Really?" (Y/n)'s eyes lit up.
"Yes, you are right. It doesn't mean we're having them right now just that we're trying." Alex softly said.
(Y/n)'s eyebrow shot up. "We're trying for a baby, are we?"
"Yes, you know we are." Alex shrugged innocently.
(Y/n) snuggled closer. "Then, Mrs. Danvers, I think you should put on your best seduction techniques and woo me; we have babies to make."
