Star Crossed

Epilogue

Two Years Later

King Mon-El paced the grounds hastily, looking up to see if he could spot the familiar spaceship. He was in Aermy's courtyard. His dragon stared at him in wonder as he paced. He would reach out to pat her head once in a while.

He had taken the throne five months after his marriage to Kara. She had her own coronation ceremony a week after his. To say the people of Daxam loved Queen Kara would be an understatement. She had won all their hearts, also making sure her own ties with Krypton stayed strong.

The first thing Kara did as Queen was to establish easier, faster and safer passage from Krypton to Daxam and from Daxam to Krypton. Two spaceships flew to and fro between the two planets every single day. Trading was also getting as each day passed. The one thing that came as surprise to most was how Kara had manage to convince the Kryptonian council that Kryptonians were actually compatible with Daxamites. Most of the Kryptonian houses decided to put an end to arrange marriage. Princess Cait and Bar-Van were the first to make use of their new freedom as Mon-El had given her the permission to marry anyone she wanted, even if her mate was a commoner. They had gotten married last year and Bar-Van was made the Prince Consort. They were expecting their first child together.

And now, after bringing some much needed changes to both the planets, Kara decided to go visit her family and spend a week with them. It had been Kal-El's birthday and she didn't want to miss it. Mon-El had to stay back because he had important meetings. But being away from his wife hadn't been easy on him.

"You are being very impatient," he heard a voice coming from behind him. It was his father.

"Father," Mon-El greeted. "So kind of you to join me."

"Well, some of us do wish to greet our Queen without being impatient," Lar joked.

"I just miss her, Father. It's been too long!"

Lar chuckled when he saw his son pout. "It's been five days... Oh look! There it is."

"I need to go." Mon-El began to walk away. His father followed him quietly. They could see the footmen carrying the luggage outside and taking them to the castle. Two ladies maids stepped out telling the footmen where they wanted the luggage to be kept.

Kara stepped out of the craft slowly. To Mon-El's surprise, she wore a typical Kryptonian combat suit. She wore pants! But she had a black cowl over her clothes. In her arms was the apple of Mon-El's eyes.

The King gave his wife and their son a bright smile as he went to greet them.

"Your Majesty," he greeted his Queen before crashing his lips against hers. Kara moaned and kissed him back earnestly. When she pulled away, Mon-El took his son in his arms.

"Kai-El! Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"

"Bababababa..." the baby babbled. He then blew raspberries as his father kissed his forehead.

"Hello, Father," Kara greeted Lar and went to hug him.

"My dear daughter! I hope your trip to Krypton was pleasant."

"We had a lovely time there. But we did miss home. Kai seemed to like everybody there. He was too little when I took him to Krypton last time." Kara turned and smiled at her son. He was gurgling now as he tried to bite his father's finger.

Kai's nanny came to take him to his room. But Lar stopped her by saying, "I haven't seen my grandson in a week. He will be spending his time with me." Mon-El passed Kai to his father, who took him in his arms happily. "Your grandmother is here to see you, little boy. She's only tolerable when she's around you. Now, say goodbye to your parents. They can have you back this evening."
