Lena wakes up with a jolt, someone jumping on her bed.
"Lena! Lena! It's Christmas!!" Alura says, excitedly, with a raised voice.
Lena groans, still feeling tired.
"Lena! Lena! Get up! It's Christmas!" Alura says, still excited.
Lena cracks open her eyes and she can tell right away that it's not 9AM like they agreed. In fact Lena doesn't feel like she's slept much at all.
"Alura, what time is it?" Lena asks.
"I don't know. I woke up. So it's Christmas and time to wake up." Alura smiles, basically buzzing with excitement.
Lena sighs and rolls over to grab her phone which is charging on the night stand. As Lena grabs her phone she looks at the time and that's when she notices that it's only 5AM, far too early to be awake.
"Alura, darling, it's only 5 in the morning. We still have 4 more hours." Lena says.
"What? No." Alura says, sounding dejected.
"Yeah, go back to sleep." Lena says, her voice full of sleep.
"But.... I'm too excited." Alura says, sounding disappointed.
Lena sighs again.
"Why don't you get under the covers with me and we can go back to sleep together." Lena says as she opens up the covers for Alura to crawl under.
"Okay." Alura says with a smile and then quickly crawls under the covers and snuggles up next to Lena.
Lena places the covers back down on top of both of them and then wraps her arms around Alura. Alura just rests her head on Lena's chest.
"Merry Christmas Lena." Alura says.
"Merry Christmas Alura. Now let's go back to sleep." Lena replies.
Alura nods and the two both close their eyes and drift off back to sleep, peacefully cuddled up together.
Lena is awoken a few hours later by a flash. Lena opens her eyes and sees Kara standing in her doorway with her phone in hand, clearly just haven taken a picture of Lena and Alura cuddled up in bed.
"Sorry." Kara says softly, noticing she woke up Lena. "I didn't mean to wake you."
Lena just hums in response and then turns to look at Alura. Alura is resting the side of her face on Lena's chest, snoring softly.
"What time is it?" Lena asks.
"Almost 9. I woke up and went to get Alura up, but she wasn't in her room, then I saw her in here." Kara says, softly.
"Yeah. She came in to wake me up at 5." Lena explains.
Kara cringes.
"Sorry about that." Kara says.
"It's okay." Lena replies, continuing to talk quietly.
Kara moves closer to the bed to look at Lena and Alura cuddled together.
"She must feel very safe with you to do that. It makes me happy." Kara says with a smile.
Lena shoots Kara back a smile.
"It makes me happy too." Lena replies.
"Well, I don't want to ruin the moment, but we should probably wake her." Kara says.
"Yeah, sure." Lena nods.
Lena moves her free hand to begin to stroke the side of Alura's head.
"Alura, darling, it's time to wake up." Lena says softly.
Alura makes a noise and then slowly moves about and then opens her eyes to look at Lena.
"Morning darling." Lena smiles.
"Hello Lena." Alura says with a yawn, still waking up.
"Hello honey." Kara says, grabbing her daughters attention.
Alura looks up and notices Kara standing by Lena's side of the bed for the first time since waking.
"Mommy." Alura smiles.
"Hello sweetie. Did you have a nice sleep cuddle with Lena?" Kara asks with a grin.
"Yeah." Alura replies, softly.
Kara and Lena just smile at each other and continue to look at Alura as she wakes up and gets her bearings.
"It's Christmas." Alura says, excitedly.
Kara and Lena both chuckle.
"Yes it is." Kara says with a smile.
Alura quickly jumps out of bed.
"Let's go! I want to see my presents!" Alura says as she quickly moves over to the door.
Lena begins to get out of bed.
"Why don't you go and make sure everyone else is awake." Kara suggests.
"Okay!" Alura says, happily, and then quickly leaves the room.
Lena chuckles.
"She's totally gonna jump on Alex to wake her up." Kara says.
"Who'd have thought Supergirl has a mean streak after all." Lena smirks as she stands up and grabs her dressing gown.
Kara laughs.
Once Lena has put her dressing gown on she looks over at Kara and she feels her heart literally skip a beat. Lena realises that she is actually alone with Kara.
"Shall we head downstairs?" Kara asks, as she walks towards Lena's bedroom door.
"Wait!" Lena says, quickly.
Kara turns to look at Lena with confusion on her face.
"I..... can we talk...... about something..... before we go downstairs? Please?" Lena says, flustered, her heart feeling like it's beating a mile a minute.
Kara gets a worried look on her face.
"It's nothing bad!" Lena quickly interjects.
"O....okay..." Kara says, still unsure.
Kara moves back into the room and as she does Lena realises she really needs to pee. She really doesn't want to do this when she has a full bladder.
"Just wait here a moment. I need to pee. I don't want to rush through this because I have to go to the bathroom. So please... wait." Lena says, nervously.
Kara looks at Lena curiously and just nods her head as she takes a seat on the side of Lena's bed. Lena then quickly leaves the room and heads into the bathroom and relieves herself. Once Lena is finished she washes her hands and splashes some water over her face while looking in the mirror over the sink.
"You can do this." Lena says to herself as she looks at her reflection.
Lena takes a deep breath and then leaves the bathroom and heads back into her bedroom. Kara is still patiently waiting for Lena. Lena notices Kara's eyes light up when she returns. All it does is make what Lena is going to do that much easier for herself.
"Hey." Kara smiles, nervously.
"Hey." Lena smiles back.
Lena approaches Kara and takes a seat on the bed next to her.
"So..... what do you want to talk about?" Kara asks, nerves in her voice.
"Right." Lena nods.
Lena turns and looks Kara in her eyes. She then takes another breath and places both of Kara's hands in her own.
"I want to be with you Kara. I know you told me to think about everything. To make sure that I'm okay with not being casual because of Alura, and I am. I love Alura. She is such a special girl, and it's a true joy for me every time I'm with her. I understand that we can't just be casual and see how things go, because as a mother you can't just let someone come into Alura's life and get really close then leave if things don't work out. I know that, and I'm all in Kara. I want to be committed to you. You are funny, adorable, kind, beautiful and you make my heart flutter. I love spending time with you. Whenever I see you it's the highlight of my day. I literally count down the minutes until I can see you. I've never felt that way about anyone else. This is special. Special to me. So, what I'm trying to say, is if you still want me, if you still want us, I'm okay with us not being casual. I know you told me to really think on it, but I didn't need to. I knew basically from the moment you asked me. I just didn't say until now because I got in my own head. I didn't want to respond quickly and for you to think I didn't take it seriously. But Sam and Ruby have both told me I was being stupid and should just tell you how I feel, and that I want this." Lena says.
Kara remains silent for a few moments just staring directly at Lena. The lack of response from Kara starts to make Lena incredibly nervous.
"Kara?" Lena asks, nervously.
Before Lena can say anything further Kara's lips are on hers. The Kryptonian has taken Lena in for a deep kiss. As soon as Lena gets her bearings of the situation she quickly kisses Kara back. The two then continue to kiss for a few moments before pulling away and resting their foreheads against one another's.
"Of course I still want to be with you Lena. You have no idea how happy this makes me. This is the best Christmas gift I could ever receive." Kara smiles.
Lena doesn't really have words to respond to that, so instead she just takes Kara in for another kiss and pours all her emotions into it, in hopes that it will express to Kara just how she feels. After a few more moments they part.
"We should really go downstairs before Alura comes looking for us." Kara says in a soft tone.
"Yeah." Lena replies, breathlessly.
The two women both stand up from the bed with big smiles on their faces.
"Actually, can I give you your present now? It's something I don't think you'll want to receive in front of Sam or Ruby." Lena explains.
"Sure. But this is my favourite gift." Kara says as she tugs at Lena's hands.
"Mine too." Lena smiles and then takes Kara in for a brief kiss.
After the kiss Lena moves away from Kara and digs into her bag to find the gift she has wrapped for Kara. Once she finds it she gets it out and carefully gives it to Kara. The gift is a small rectangular box about the size of a single shoe.
"Thank you." Kara smiles as she takes the gift.
"Open it." Lena smiles.
Kara nods and begins to unwrap the wrapping paper. Lena notices that unlike herself Kara is happy to just tear away at the wrapping paper. When Lena unwraps any presents she makes sure to carefully open them, not wanting to tear the beautiful wrapping paper. Once Kara removes the wrapping paper she finds a small black leather box with the L-Corp logo on it.
"Sorry about the logo, it's the only box I had that would fit it inside." Lena explains.
"That's okay Lee." Kara smiles.
Kara opens up the box, sliding the top half of the box off the bottom half. Once the top half is removed inside Kara sees a pair of black glasses with tissue paper surrounding them.
"Wow, a new pair of glasses." Kara says, genuinely, as she gets them out of the box. "This is amazing Lee, I've had these same ones for years. Since I first got to Earth basically."
Lena smiles.
"They are not just glasses Kara." Lena explains.
"What?" Kara asks, confused.
"Put them on and I'll show you." Lena says.
Kara nods and removes the pair of glasses that she originally had on and then places the new pair on her head.
"Press lightly on the right side of the glasses, right here." Lena says as she points to a place on the right glasses arm, near the right lens.
Kara presses where Lena told her to and then suddenly the glasses melt away and a Supergirl suit begins to materialise around Kara. The suit is much like her normal one, but this one has pants instead of the skirt. Kara just looks down at herself in awe.
"Oh Rao Lena!" Kara says, surprised.
Lena flinches at Kara's tone.
"I'm sorry.... you don't like it..... I should have asked before I began to make.... I....." Lena is then cut off by Kara crashing her lips into Lena's once more. Lena melts into the kiss.
"I love it Lee." Kara says, reassuringly, as she moves away from Lena's lips.
Lena smiles at Kara and breathes out a sigh of relief.
"That's good." Lena replies.
"I love the pants Lee. So much better than a skirt." Kara says.
"Yes, well I thought that for tactical purposes pants are a lot better. Although admittedly I don't really like the idea of anyone accidentally seeing up your skirt as you take off." Lena says .
Kara giggles.
"Well I love it. I can't wait to show Alex!" Kara smiles.
"I'm glad. It does have a few features built in. It has some very minor Kryptonite shielding. I couldn't put anything more protective without compromising the composition of the suit. But if you look at your left arm, you can touch it with your hand and a small display will appear. There you can activate a Kryptonite shield mode which will change the composition and look of the suit to protect you from kryptonite. Of course your movement will be compromised, as it'll be like you're wearing heavy armour. Then also you can activate a setting to activate a distress beacon that transmits your location. Currently it goes to my phone and computer, but I can have it go to someone else, or me and someone else, it's up to you ." Lena explains.
"Wow Lee... this is.... wow... thank you.... so much..... I love it." Kara says, in awe of the suit Lena has built for her.
"Well I'm glad you like it. I'm sure if I think of any other features I can update the suit as needed." Lena smiles.
"Yeah, I'm sure that big genius brain of yours will think of something." Kara smiles, "So how do I deactivate it."
"Right." Lena nods, "I decided not to put the deactivate mode on your left wrist with the other features, as I didn't want you accidentally pressing the button when you are trying to do something else. So to deactivate the suit you just press twice quickly on your house crest. It is keyed to your finger print, so no one else can deactivate it. Well..... I can, because I had to test it with my finger print..... but I can remove mine."
Kara presses the emblem twice and her suit removes itself from her body, her new glasses reappearing on her face.
"Lee.... I'm glad you can deactivate it, and receive my distress call. I trust you. So please don't think for a second that I don't trust you to have those abilities with my suit. I know you'd do everything in your power to help me if I needed it." Kara smiles.
"I would." Lena nods with tears in her eyes, touched by Kara's trust in her.
Kara leans in and takes Lena in for another brief kiss.
"Come on, let's go downstairs." Kara smiles as she holds out her hand.
Lena looks at Kara's offered hand and smiles, taking it in her own.
Kara and Lena walk down the two flights of stairs hand in hand, walking side by side with smiles on their faces. When they enter the living room area Sam and Alex are already sitting on a couch together with Ruby sitting in front of them. As Alex and Sam spot Lena and Kara and notice their joined hands they both give them a knowing happy smirk.
"Mommy!! You're here!" Alura says, pleased.
Kara and Lena let go of each other's hands as soon as Alura approaches them.
"Yeah little one. Are you ready?" Kara asks.
"Uh-huh, grandma told me to get uncle Winn." Alura explains.
Kara smiles down at her daughter.
"Why don't I come help you." Kara says.
"Okay." Alura smiles.
Kara then takes Alura's hand and allows her daughter to guide her in the direction of Winn's room. Kara shoots Lena a smiles behind her shoulder as she walks away. Lena smiles back. After Kara has disappeared down the hallway Lena walks into the kitchen area to join Eliza in hopes of getting a coffee.
"Good morning dear." Eliza smiles.
"Good morning Eliza." Lena replies back with a smile as well.
"I'm already making your coffee right now." Eliza explains.
"Oh, thank you very much." Lena smiles.
Eliza then walks closer to Lena and then quickly takes her in for a hug.
"Welcome to the family." Eliza whispers in Lena's ear.
Lena goes wide eyed, kind of overwhelmed by the affection offered by Eliza.
"I..... thank you...." Lena replies, holding back tears.
Eliza and Lena end their hug and Eliza just gives Lena a warm smile.
"Go take a seat honey, I'll bring you your coffee." Eliza says.
"I.... thank you." Lena smiles.
Lena heads back over to the living room just as Kara and Alura are dragging Winn in his pyjamas out from the hallway to his bedroom. Lena takes a seat on the free couch to the left, at a right angle, of Alex and Sam. J'onn is sitting in a chair to the right of Sam and Alex and there are then a few spare seats either side of both couches, one next to J'onn and another next to the couch Lena is currently sitting on, close to the fireplace.
"Hurry up uncle Winn!! It's Christmas!!" Alura yells, very excitedly.
Winn flinches and groans.
"Ughh.... it's too early." Winn mutter as he walks into the living room.
"Don't pretend you weren't exactly as excited as Alura when you were a kid too." Alex smiles.
"Yeah, but I'm not a kid now." Winn says as he rubs the sleep out his eyes.
Winn then walks over to the couch Lena is sitting on and attempts to sit down next to her.
"No! I'm sitting there." Kara says, quickly.
"What?! Why does it matter?" Winn asks.
"I want to sit next to Lena." Kara says, firmly.
Winn goes wide eyed, realising what that means.
"Oh." Winn says and then moves over to a chair next to J'onn.
"Mom, I think Lena and Kara..." Ruby begins in a hushed tone.
"Yeah, but shhh Ruby." Sam interrupts her daughter as she nods to Alura.
Ruby nods at Sam but has a big smile on her face as she watches Kara take a seat next to Lena, resting her head on Lena's shoulder briefly as a sign of affection.
"Here's your coffee sweetie." Eliza says as she hands Lena the coffee mug.
"Thank you Eliza." Lena replies.
"You're welcome dear." Eliza smiles and takes a seat on the other end of the couch that Lena is sitting on, with Kara sitting between the two.
"Okay, open presents now!" Alura says, giddily.
Most of the adults chuckle at that.
"Alright. Why don't we let the children go first." Eliza suggests.
"Yeah! Come on Alura!" Ruby says with a smile.
Ruby and Alura then go and collect their presents from underneath the Christmas tree. Once they are sure they have everything they return to sit down in front of their respective mothers.
"Ruby, you have more presents when we get back home to Metropolis. I didn't want to have to pack them all here." Sam explains.
Ruby has a much smaller pile of presents than Alura.
"You can help me open some of my presents Ruby." Alura says, obviously feeling bad for Ruby.
Ruby smiles at Alura.
"Thanks, but I'm okay." Ruby smiles.
Ruby and Alura both begin to open up their presents from their mothers. Once Ruby is finished opening up her presents from Sam she has three gifts left. Alura just continues to open up her presents from Kara.
"That one's from me dear." Eliza says as Ruby begins to open another present.
"You didn't have to do that Eliza." Sam says.
"Of course I did." Eliza smiles back.
Ruby excitedly opens up her presents from Eliza and reveals some candy, a sweater and a gift card.
"Wow thank you Eliza." Ruby says, happy and surprised by her gifts.
Ruby then stands up and gives Eliza a hug.
"You're welcome dear, merry Christmas." Eliza smiles into the hug.
"You better be careful or mom isn't going to let you take Ruby home." Alex mutters to Sam.
Sam chuckles at that.
Ruby then returns to sit down with her presents, meanwhile Alura moves onto her presents from Eliza, J'onn, Alex and Winn, thanking them all and being excited as she opens them. Ruby begins to then open her penultimate present.
"That one's from me Ruby." Lena says with a big grin.
Ruby carefully opens up the present and finds a signed Alex Morgan soccer jersey.
"Oh my god! Lena!! This is amazing!!! Look mom! It's signed by Alex Morgan!!!" Ruby says, excitedly, as she shows Sam.
Ruby then quickly gets up from where she is sitting and runs over to Lena and literally jumps on top of her, taking her in for a big hug.
"Thank you. It's amazing!" Ruby smiles.
"You're very welcome Ruby." Lena smiles back into the hug.
Ruby sits back down and opens her final gift.
"That one's from me Ruby." Kara says with a knowing smirk.
"Kara, you didn't have to either." Sam says.
"It's nothing." Kara brushes it off.
Ruby opens up her final present from Kara and inside finds a Supergirl action figure that is signed by Supergirl 'Ruby, Merry Christmas, Love, Supergirl xx', it reads.
Ruby squeals in excitement.
"Oh my god!!!" Ruby says, shocked.
Ruby runs over to Kara and jumps on top of her, hugging her.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you Kara! I love Supergirl!!" Ruby says, happily.
Kara chuckles with a knowing look in her eye.
"You're welcome. I'm friends with her, so I just got her to sign this for you." Kara says.
"I think you won best gift for Ruby." Lena mutters into Kara's ear.
Kara chuckles.
"It's amazing! Thank you so much Kara." Ruby says once more.
Ruby returns to sit back down just looking at all of her presents meanwhile Alura only has one present left.
"Oh last present Alura. Who's it from?" Kara asks.
"Lena! I was saving it till last!" Alura announces with a big grin.
Kara chuckles and Lena brushes slightly.
Alura opens up the present and reveals what looks to be a shoe box. Alura grows a curious look on her face and then carefully opens the shoe box revealing a white pair of ice skates.
Alura screams in excitement.
"My own skates!!" Alura says, happily.
Alura then turns around to look at Lena.
"I have my pair with me as well. I thought we could go ice skating on the lake while we are here." Lena suggests.
"Yes!! Can we go now?!" Alura asks, excitedly.
Lena chuckles.
"Not now sweetie, maybe later." Kara interjects.
Alura smiles at Kara and then gets up and jumps into Lena's lap, taking her in for a hug and kissing Lena on the cheek.
"Thank you Lena." Alura says.
"You're very welcome darling." Lena smiles.
"Love you." Alura says.
"Love you too." Lena replies.
Now that the presents for the children are out of the way the group turn to the presents for all the adults. Ruby and Alura are the ones who hand out all the presents to the correct people.
"Mommy, this one's from me. Lena helped me with it." Alura says as she hands Kara a gift.
"Oh really? Let's open it then." Kara says.
Kara opens up the gift and finds the jewellery box, she then slowly opens it revealing the necklace with a locket.
"Wow." Kara says as she examines the beautiful necklace.
"Open it mommy." Alura says.
Kara gets a confused look.
"There's a photo inside the locket." Lena says with a point.
Kara then carefully opens up the locket and finds the picture of Alura inside, as she looks at it she begins to cry.
"Mommy? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Alura asks.
"These are happy tears. This is beautiful." Kara says and then places the necklace around her neck, tucking it under her clothes. "I'll never take it off."
Alura smiles up at Kara.
"Come here." Kara says to her daughter.
Alura climbs up into Kara's lap and Kara takes Alura into a tearful hug.
"I love it Alura. It's amazing." Kara says with a sniffle.
"Merry Christmas mommy." Alura replies.
After a few more moments Kara pulls away from the hug and wipes away her tears allowing Alura to climb down from her lap. Kara then turns to Lena.
"Thank you for this Lena. I know it obviously wasn't cheap." Kara says.
"Money isn't an issue. But, you're welcome." Lena smiles.
Kara then leans over and takes Lena in for a hug.
"I'd kiss you, but I don't want everyone to stare at us." Kara says under her breath.
"Save it for later then." Lena whispers back.
Kara nods and then pulls away from Lena.
The adults continue to open up their gifts. Lena for her part got Winn a rare special edition comic book, J'onn an old antique small statue you can place on a table. Lena then gifted Sam her cars in Metropolis, Alex a few bottles of expensive scotch and Eliza a few biology research books she hopes she finds interesting.
"You're totally gonna start drinking these bad boys with me later Luthor." Alex smirks.
Lena chuckles.
"Oh course." Lena replies
"Didn't you get Kara anything?" Sam asks Lena.
"Oh I gave Kara her gift earlier, in private." Lena smiles.
"Oh, I see." Sam says with a wink.
Kara blushes.
"It's nothing like that!" Lena quickly interjects.
"Then what was it?" Alex asks.
"It's incredible. I'll show you later Al." Kara smiles at her sister.
Alex just replies with a slightly curious nod.
Lena proceeds to open up a few gifts that she got from Sam, Ruby and Eliza before finally turning to the two final ones from Alura and Kara. Lena decides to open Alura's one first. Once Lena unwraps the gift she finds a picture frame with a photo of Alura inside.
"Mommy said you'd like a picture of me." Alura says to Lena.
Lena begins to tear up.
"Lena?" Alura asks, worried.
Kara begins to rub Lena's leg, comforting her.
"I love it darling. Come here." Lena says through her tears.
Alura walks over to Lena and climbs in her lap. Lena takes the young girl into a big hug, kissing her on the top of the head.
"I'll put it on my desk at work so I can always look at you." Lena says.
Alura looks up at Lena with a big smile on her face.
"Love you Lena." Alura says.
"And I love you too darling, so much." Lena replies as she pulls Alura towards her chest once more.
Once Lena and Alura finish their hug Alura just turns around and remains on Lena's lap, making no move to get off. Clearly the half Kryptonian is more than comfortable to remain on Lena's lap.
"Here this ones from me." Kara smiles as she bends down to hand Lena the present she got for her.
"Thank you." Lena smiles at Kara.
Lena begins to open the present and notices Alura looking eagerly at Lena unwrapping the gift.
"Would you like to help me open it darling?" Lena asks.
"Yes!" Alura says, happily.
Alura then proceeds to help Lena tear away the wrapping paper. Once they are finished Lena finds a painted portrait of herself. It's absolutely beautiful. Lena thinks it does her far more justice than she deserves.
"I didn't really know what to get you, because you are a literal billionaire and have everything you want. So I decided to paint you a portrait of yourself." Kara says, nervously.
"You painted this?" Lena asks, surprised.
"Yeah." Kara nods as she bites her lip nervously.
"This is incredible Kara. I had no idea you were such a good painter." Lena praises.
"Yeah well..... I dabble.... a bit." Kara replies, brushing off the praise.
"It's absolutely beautiful Kara, and I love it. Thank you." Lena says and then leans over and places a kiss on Kara's cheek.
Kara blushes at Lena's kiss.
The group move on with their day and all get washed and dressed before returning downstairs. Eliza is in the kitchen beginning to prepare a roast turkey Christmas dinner.
"Alura? Do you want to go outside and build a snowman with me?" Ruby asks the four year old.
Alura looks excitedly up at Kara for approval. Kara gives Alura nod.
"Yes!" Alura says with a big smile.
"I'll go out with them and watch them." Winn says.
"Oh, that's very nice of you Winn." Sam smiles.
Alex chuckles.
"It's only because he 100% wants to build a snowman as well." Alex says.
"You're never too old to build a snowman." Winn says, firmly.
Sam, Alex, Kara and Lena all laugh at that.
"Alright. Alura put on your warm clothes and your gloves." Kara tells her daughter.
"Yes mommy." Alura nods with a smile.
Alura and Ruby quickly put on their outdoor snow clothes that are by the front door, along with Winn, and then head outside.
"Eliza? Would you like any help in the kitchen?" Sam asks.
"Oh, that would be very nice dear." Eliza replies.
"I'll help too." Alex says.
Alex and Sam then proceed to head into the kitchen area and begin to help Eliza. This just leaves Lena, Kara and J'onn in the living room.
"I think I'll join the children outside." J'onn announces.
"You mean the children and Winn." Kara corrects J'onn.
"I know what I said." J'onn says with a grin.
Kara and Lena both laugh at that.
J'onn puts on his clothes and heads outside leaving Kara and Lena alone in the living room. Kara then turns to look at Lena with a big smile on her face.
"You want to go upstairs so we can talk in private?" Kara asks with a smile.
"Sure." Lena replies with a grin.
Kara holds out her hand which Lena takes and then allows Kara to lead her upstairs. Kara leads the both of them up into her bedroom. Once they are inside Kara closes the door and takes Lena in for a passionate kiss.
"Hmm." Lena hums into the kiss.
The two women hold each other and then fall down onto the bed, laying next to each other, just kissing. Lena hopes this is going in the direction that she thinks it is. They continue to kiss for a few minutes before Lena decides to make her move and place her hand under Kara's shirt. Kara flinches.
"Wait!" Kara says, awkwardly, as she quickly pulls away from Lena and their kiss, causing Lena's hand to come out from under her shirt. The two then both sit up on the bed.
"I'm sorry Kara. I should have asked." Lena says, guiltily.
Lena thinks that she clearly overstepped and Kara didn't bring them upstairs to do anything like that.
"No it's not that." Kara says in a weird tone.
"Oh, then what is it?" Lena asks, confused.
Kara bites her lip and looks up at Lena, looking her in the eyes.
"It's just..... I've never been with a woman before...." Kara says, awkwardly.
"Oh." Lena replies.
"It's just.... I'm not sure what to do and it's just...... terrifying." Kara continues to explain awkwardly, looking down at her hands as she begins to fiddle with them nervously.
Lena gets a confused and concerned look on her face.
"Kara." Lena says, grabbing the Kryptonian's attention by placing her hand on Kara's arm.
Kara looks back up at Lena.
"Are you sure you're attracted to me?" Lena asks, a bit awkwardly.
"Of course." Kara nods quickly, "You're beautiful."
"Okay.... but I mean... physically..... sexually.... it's..... okay if you're not...... we can.... figure it out..... and we don't ever have to do anything if you don't want to." Lena says, a bit timidly.
"Oh no Lena!! That's not it at all!" Kara interjects to alleviate Lena's concerns. "You are incredibly sexy..... you have no idea how many times I've thought of you when I've..... uhh..."
Kara begins to blush.
"When you've what?" Lena asks with a big grin.
"You know..... pleasured myself...." Kara says, both timidly and awkwardly.
Lena breaks out into a big smile and takes Kara in for a quick kiss.
"Well I'm glad. But, what's the problem then? You shouldn't be terrified." Lena asks.
"It's just.... it's you.... and.... I don't want to be bad.... I don't want to disappoint you.... and at the same time I don't really know what to do.... and that's on top of me already having to keep my powers in check so I don't hurt you by accident.... it's just.... a lot." Kara explains.
Lena's smiles lovingly at Kara.
"Oh Kara, you couldn't ever disappointment. So you don't have to worry about that." Lena says as she places a hand on Kara's cheek. "I can help you. I can show you what to do, and what I like and we can learn what we both like doing and receiving together."
"Okay..... but.... it doesn't sound very.... sexy..." Kara says.
Lena chuckles.
"Honestly, if more people did that, and learned what their partners liked by asking questions, rather than just jumping into it, then a lot more people would be happy." Lena smiles.
"I.... okay...." Kara nods.
Lena smiles at Kara.
"We don't have to do anything today. It's probably not best to do it here when we can be interrupted." Lena explains.
"Okay..... but can we still kiss then?" Kara asks.
"Of course." Lena smiles, widely.
Kara takes Lena in for another passionate kiss and the two fall back down onto the bed. After a few moments two just stop kissing and look into each other's eyes.
"Lena?" Kara asks, softly.
"Yeah?" Lena replies, matching Kara's soft tone.
"Would you have really still wanted to be with me if I didn't want us to ever have sex?" Kara asks.
"Yes, I would." Lena replies with a nod.
"You're incredible Lena. I don't know how I got so lucky." Kara smiles and kisses Lena once more.
"I feel exactly the same." Lena smiles and kisses Kara back.
Christmas Day continues on from there and the whole group have a bunch of fun. Kara and Lena return from Kara's bedroom after about 30 minutes and help Eliza, Sam and Alex in the kitchen. J'onn, Winn, Ruby and Alura come back inside a few minutes after that.
The group spend the day chatting with each other, watching movies and playing games, both the board game kind and the video game kind. Eventually Christmas dinner is served and they all sit up at the dinning table in the kitchen, and then quickly tuck in. Everyone enjoys their food and they all gives Eliza their thanks and gratitude. After the group finish eating their dinner they all return to the living room to continue to spend time together and have fun, but not before Winn and J'onn do all the washing up.
Eventually the evening rolls around and Eliza offers everyone some ice cream with chocolate cake that she made for their dessert. This choice of dessert very much pleases Kara, Alura and Ruby, all of whom eat the cake and ice cream, getting it all around their faces, making everyone laugh.
Christmas Day eventually draws to a close and everyone heads up to their bedrooms. Kara and Lena help Alura into bed.
"Good night darling." Lena smiles as she places a kiss on the top of Alura's head.
"Night, night, Lena." Alura replies.
Kara then leans down and hugs her daughter, kissing her on the cheek.
"Did you have a good time today?" Kara asks, softly.
"The best." Alura nods.
"I'm glad. Now you get some sleep." Kara says.
"Night, night, mommy, love you." Alura replies.
"Love you too honey." Kara replies.
"Love you, Lena." Alura calls out.
"Love you too, Alura." Lena replies.
Kara and Lena then smile at one another and slowly make their way out of Alura's bedroom, turning off the light and putting the door to.
"Well, goodnight Kara. I had a lovely time today." Lena smiles.
"Me too. I...." Kara begins and then cuts herself off.
"What is it?" Lena asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Uhmm.... I was going to ask..... do you want to.... sleep with me?" Kara asks and then her eyes go wide, realising what she said. "Not like that! I mean sleep sleep!"
Lena chuckles and then gives Kara a big smile.
"I'd love to." Lena says and takes Kara in for a brief kiss.
"Oh good." Kara says, breathing out a sigh of relief.
Lena and Kara then get dressed into their pyjamas before cuddling up with each other in Kara's bed. The two hold each other in their arms.
"Good night Lena." Kara says in the tone that tells Lena she is already half asleep.
"Good night darling." Lena smiles and places a gentle kiss on Kara's cheek.
Kara and Lena both drift off to sleep quickly, both feeling incredibly happy and content in each other's arms.
A few hours later Kara and Lena have moved in their sleep. Lena is laying on her side facing away from Kara, while Kara is spooning her from behind. Outside there is a thunderstorm going on which hasn't woken either Kara or Lena.
"Mommy? Mommy?" Alura says nervously, entering the room in the dark and pulling at Lena's arm which is poking out of the covers.
Alura can't make out that it's Lena due to the darkness, and how Lena is laying in the bed. Alura just obviously assumes that the person in the bed her mom is sleeping in is her mom.
Lena makes a groan in response as she feels Alura tug her arm, causing her to wake up.
"Mommy, I'm scared. It's scary..... and.... I went to see Lena.... but she's missing..." Alura says, nervously.
Lena quickly wakes up and her heart begins to race because she realises she's in a bit of a predicament. As Kara and Lena have only basically been together a day they haven't said anything to Alura, and Lena doesn't want to do anything without Kara's permission. She's not sure if Kara just doesn't want to tell Alura about them yet because it could be confusing to her, or for countless other reasons. Or perhaps Kara is waiting a few days to tell Alura. Either way, Lena isn't sure what to do. She doesn't want to do anything without Kara's permission and upset her.
That decision is taken out of Lena's hand when there is another loud amount of thunder which makes Alura jump out of freight and quickly onto the bed, on top of Lena's legs. Alura then crawls up to Lena, causing Lena to shift in the bed.
"Lena?" Alura says confused, noticing it's Lena and not Kara.
"Yes darling." Lena smiles, not sure what else to say.
"Where's mommy?" Alura asks, confused.
"Here sweetie." Kara says as she reaches out to touch Alura from behind.
Alura jumps in freight at the contact and then looks over at Kara and shifts in the bed so she's between Kara and Lena who have slightly moved away from each other. Alura just looks at both Kara and Lena confused. Alura then opens her mouth to ask a question but there is then another loud amount of thunder and a flash of lightening which causes Alura to squeal in fear.
"Come here, Alura." Kara says as she lifts up the covers.
Alura quickly gets under the covers and clings onto Kara's side like a koala bear.
"It's okay Alura." Kara says, attempting to sooth her daughter.
Kara strokes her daughters side and Lena does the same. Eventually after a few more minutes the thunder and lightening seem to stop, calming Alura.
Alura shifts in the bed so she lays on her back between Kara and Lena. She then looks at Lena.
"Are you sleeping with mommy because you got scared too?" Alura asks Lena.
"No darling." Lena replies, not wanting to lie to the young girl.
"Then why are you here?" Alura asks, confused.
Lena doesn't really know what to say, but luckily for her Kara speaks up.
"It's because Lena and I are dating honey." Kara explains, causing Alura to look at her.
Lena feels a wave of relief that Alura knows and they don't have to hide it from the young girl. But at the same time Lena gets a wave of anxiety as she waits for Alura's response to the news. Lena really really hopes Alura takes it well. Lena is well aware that if Alura doesn't take it well than basically that's it for them. They can't be together if Alura doesn't want Kara and Lena to be together. Lena wouldn't want to do that anyway, Alura's opinion is very important to her.
Alura looks at Lena once more.
"Are you mommy's girlfriend?" Alura asks, innocently with a smile.
The smile Alura shoots Lena gives Lena a little bit of confidence.
"Alura we haven't...." Kara begins, awkwardly.
"Yes." Lena interrupts, with a big smile.
Upon hearing this Kara grows a big smile on her face, happy that Lena just called her her girlfriend. Lena then looks at Alura, who's looking at her, waiting to see her response. Thankfully Alura breaks out into a big smile.
"Yay." Alura smiles and then hugs Lena.
Lena feels another wave of relief.
Kara strokes Alura's head as she continues to hug Lena.
"I hope you're okay with this honey." Kara says to her daughter.
Alura turns to look at Kara.
"Does this mean things will change?" Alura asks, sounding suddenly a bit nervous.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Lena will probably spend more time with us. She will probably sleep over at our place more some times, and we might sleep over at her penthouse on occasion too. Then Lena and I may drop you off somewhere, probably with aunt Alex or uncle Winn, so we can go on dates and spend time together, just the two of us." Kara smiles.
Alura looks at Kara with an expression as if she's thinking.
"Are you okay with that darling?" Lena asks, nervously once more.
Alura looks at Lena.
"Yes!" Alura replies, growing a big smile on her face.
"I'm glad." Lena grins.
"Me too." Kara smiles.
Alura just excitedly jiggles about in the bed which causes Kara and Lena both to chuckle.
"Come here darling." Lena grins, opening up her arms.
Alura moves into Lena's arms and hugs her.
"Mommy hug me too." Alura says.
Kara chuckles and then does as Alura asks and moves over to hug her daughter from behind, allowing Alura to be in the middle of a hug sandwich. This is how the three women fall asleep, all hugged together. Alura keeps a massive smile on her face right until she drifts off to sleep.
