Chapter Text
Their wedding was beautiful. A day that they would never forget. And then when it was time to take Kara home, Mon-El carried her all the way to their new home to surprise her. They made love on their old bed but in their new room that night, before they went to their honeymoon. Kara had always wanted to see Tulum, and Mon-El surprised her by taking her there. Kara knew that this was the beginning of something new and she was glad Mon-El was by her side, where he belonged.
A couple of months passed after the wedding and Kara couldn't be happier.
Her honeymoon lasted for five whole days, the longest she had been away from Kai. Even though she missed her baby boy terribly, she was still happy to spend those days with Mon-El. They did act all touristy and ate some delicious food, explored the ruins, but when the night came, it was a different story altogether since Mon-El was a different person in bed. Kara then started teasing him by saying 'Valor in streets and Prince of Daxam in sheets.'
When they returned home, they ended up taking another holiday with Kai. This did take place after Winn and Donna tied the knot, which was on a private yacht since Donna wanted a small, private wedding. They hadn't invited a lot of people. Just the Matthews, the Danvers and Jeff, the Kents, Donna's mother and aunt, Winn's mother, J'onn and Jimmy Olsen. It was all going well till Donna's father, Zeus decided to show up, in an impeccable suit that looked more expensive than the yacht they were on. His wedding gift to his daughter was Winn's life. He would live for as long as Donna lived. And when she died, Winn would die that very instant. Donna had called it an absurd gift and promised Winn that she would not die that easily. Zeus' other gift was the powers her unborn child would have. That had also not impressed Donna since she would have been happy if the child was like Winn. In the end, it was a good wedding and the happy couple decided to go to Europe, since Winn had never been there before.
Kara, Mon-El and Kai's next trip was to Disneyland. Especially the Star Wars land that Mon-El had been meaning to visit as well. Alex and Adair had tagged along. They all had a lot of fun. Mon-El even got to make himself a Lightsaber. Kai chose to make a Droid. And he made one that looked a lot like the BB-8 Droid Mon-El had at home.
And now, all these months later, Kara sat in her new home, in the rocking chair that Mon-El had gotten for Alura. Their home was bigger than the one at Midvale. There were four room upstairs and one downstairs that Alura lived in. Kai's room was decorated much like the one he had at Mon-El's old apartment. The nursery was right next to Kara and Mon-El's master bedroom. And the fourth room was basically a store room. Bruce Wayne had great taste. He had gone all out on that house. The swimming pool was big enough for a pool party for their family and friends. Mon-El loved cooking barbecue for them. They had all settled in at their new home. And now, here she was, the baby girl they had been waiting for a long time.
Lee's birth hadn't been easy. They were all busy focusing on Donna who had given birth to Han three weeks ago and in less than a week, Kara went to some serious pain and her water her broken. There was still one and a half month to go. There was no way she was having the baby so soon. But she did. Little Miss Lee arrived so early that she was a premature baby. Mon-El barely slept during the first two weeks where they had kept Lee at the DEO under the yellow lamps. That was all that was going to help the baby. Mon-El stayed by her side all the time. Kara couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong that her baby was born so early. But then again, even her life was at risk when she gave birth to Lee. It was truly a miracle that both mother and daughter made it out alive.
This did make Mon-El even more protective of them. Even Kai was following his father's footsteps. Every morning, after he woke up, he made his way towards Kara, wherever she was and asked her if she was doing well and if his siter was doing well. It didn't matter how much assurance he got from Kara, Kai was always checking in on them. And now that he had gone to school, Kara knew that as soon as he was back, he would want to see Lee and ask how she was doing.
She smiled at the baby in her arms who had been sleeping peacefully. Unlike Kai, Lee did have problems sleeping at night, so someone had to stay up, talking to her till she slept. It was usually Mon-El who stayed up. It didn't matter if he had to go to work the next day or fly around saving the say as Valor, his daughter was his priority and he didn't let anyone feel otherwise.
The sound of the door opening, followed by Mon-El's voice, woke the baby up. "I'm home," he called as he walked in. The second his eyes fell on Kara and the baby, he gave them a heartbreaking smile.
"Hello, ladies! Did I disturb you?"
Kara smiled and shook her head. "No, we were just relaxing. Welcome home, honey."
Mon-El leaned down to kiss her. When he pulled away, he whispered against Kara's lips, "I'm home, baby." He then crouched in front of Kara and looked at his daughter. "Hey, Miss Lee! Did you have a nice nap?"
Lee looked at him with her big, blue/grey eyes. She loved the sound of Mon-El's voice, even when she was in her mom's tummy.
"Would you like to hold her? I'm going to go make us something to drink."
"Yeah! Coffee for me, please."
Kara nodded before gently placing Lee in Mon-El's arms and heading towards the kitchen.
Mon-El took a seat on the couch and cooed at his daughter, who was blowing raspberries. Mon-El chuckled. "Aren't you the cutest, Miss Lee?" He placed a soft kiss on her head but ended up making a face. "Lee, you need a nappy change!"
Kara chuckled from the kitchen. "She ate a while ago. Go on, Daddy, go change her diaper. I'll be with you in a few."
"Don't worry about that. Lee and I will be down in few minutes." Mon-El then carried Lee to the nursery upstairs. Undoing her onesie, he said, "You always surprise me, little Princess! You don't know this but I've seen the older you twice already. And here I thought I was the time travel." Mon-El smiled when Lee let out a sigh of relief when he removed the dirty diaper. "Never once I thought that you would show up during my wedding. And dressed in black! I guess you are going to grow up to love the color black. And what you told me about the purest form of love… as days pass, I think what your brother said was right… When I was young, I was an idiot. All I wanted to do was get drunk, party and have fun. But now, after coming to this planet and meeting your mother, I realized what true love is. When you are old enough, I'll tell you about Daxam. About my beloved Dragon you would have loved so much… For so long, I kept thinking you are reckless like your mother. Why else would you take a trip to the past to see a wedding? Then I realized something big, I was just as reckless back on Daxam. I'm not a good role model, Lee. But your mother is. And the fact that she never hid that she's Supergirl from Kai, that takes a lot of courage. One day I'll tell your brother and you. And then I hope you follow your mother's footsteps. But Daddy will spoil you rotten, sweetheart!" Mon-El picked Lee up and kissed her cheek. He then carried her downstairs.
Kara didn't look up when he joined her at the kitchen. She seemed eerily quiet.
"Babe, you okay?" Mon-El asked before setting Lee on her baby rocker. He switched it on and it began to sway gently, making Lee yawn before closing her eyes. Mon-El then headed to the kitchen where Kara set out a mug of coffee for him.
When she looked up, she frowned at Mon-El. "I did find it weird. A young girl at the wedding, dressed in black. I thought it was one of Eliza's friend's grandkid. But none of Eliza's friends are old enough to have teen grandchildren. Then you introduced her as your friend. You don't have any friends that young, except for Conner, but he's your nephew now… I should have known."
"Kara—"
"Why didn't you tell me that was Lee? I had the right to know!"
Mon-El let out a sigh and nodded. "You did. But I knew you wouldn't react well."
"What does that even mean?"
"I didn't want to worry you or disappoint you during our wedding, Kara. That's the last day I wanted to spoil. Trust me, I had no idea Lee was going to show up."
"So, she's the troublesome one?"
Mon-El gave her a small smile and nodded. "Her nickname is 'Trouble', and she lives up to that name."
"She's going to be a handful then."
"Yeah, but I think we have done a brilliant job raising her… Kara, no kid is like the other. If you expect Lee to be exactly like Kai, then you are only going to get disappointed."
"She's only a few months old, but she's way different than Kai. For one, she doesn't sleep at nights. Kai did." Kara smiled looking at her sleeping baby.
"That and her birth scared me," Mon-El confessed. "I almost lost you and Lee, and I can't let that happen again."
"I know. Both you and Kai have become overprotective." Kara leaned closer to kiss Mon-El. "I'm glad we took that step. Marriage suits us."
"It does… Now, when can we have sex because I want you sooo bad!"
Kara giggled. "When your daughter sleeps an entire night, then!"
"You know that's impossible." Mon-El pouted. "Hey! She's asleep now. Let's have a quickie right here."
As his hand slipped under Kara's skirt, she grabbed it and shook her head. Just then, they heard a voice coming towards the house. Kai was singing a nursery rhyme.
When Mon-El made a disappointed face, Kara laughed before leaning closer to kiss him. She then made her way towards the door to pull it open. Kai stepped in with Alura and greeted Kara with a big hug.
"Momma, I'm back!"
"Welcome back, baby boy!" Kara bent down to kiss his cheek. She then looked up and said, "Hi Mom! Hope you had a nice walk."
"I did," Alura replied, taking her coat off. "I have plans with Kai this evening. We are going to the park to play."
"Really?" Kara smiled, looking at her little boy who had run inside to greet his father. Then he bent down to pat Lee's head. Kara was glad that Kai was spending more time with Alura now. Alura was the one who picked him up from preschool these days.
Kai sat in the kitchen with Mon-El having a little snack. Kara was about to go join them when Alura said, "Kara, I'm going to rest now. I'll be in my bedchamber if you need me."
"Sure, Mom." Kara watched her mother walk away. Alura had adjusted well into her new life here. She was also on good terms with Eliza, despite Jeff being a constant figure in Eliza's life. But Alura did mention visiting Argo soon. She just wanted Lee to grow up a little before she could go.
Once Alura left the room, Kara made her way towards her husband and son. Kai let out a yawn just then. Mon-El patted his head and told him to go take a nap.
"Buh bye, Momma, Daddy," Kai called before going upstairs.
Kara waved to him and picked Lee up from the rocker. Mon-El followed Kara upstairs. When she set Lee down in her crib, she turned to face Mon-El, who stood leaning against the door.
Kara bit her lower lip, unable to tell Mon-El what she wanted. When he smiled and raised a brow, Kara asked, "Do you still wanna do it? Everyone is asleep."
Mon-El smirked. "You know I would never say no to you."
Kara blushed and looked away. What she had missed was how quickly Mon-El had made his way towards her and swept her off her feet. Kara shrieked. "Mon, let me down!"
"No way, baby." Mon-El carried her to their room. Kara buried her face against his neck and waited for him to set her down.
They didn't know how long they had been in bed. Lying there with their bodies entwined with each other, their naked skin touching giving them the warmth they craved for, Mon-El and Kara were enjoying these little moments they got to themselves. Their lives weren't like how they were before. They had kids now. They had responsibilities. But being here, at this very moment, they felt young as if they had just slept together for the very first time.
Kara snuggled against Mon-El and said, "Miss Grant sent me another mail."
"Yeah. What did she say?"
"She wants me to return to CatCo."
"Wait, was she at our wedding?" Mon-El moved away a little to look at Kara.
Kara shook her head. "No, she regretfully declined. Winn told me there was something going on at CatCo and Miss Grant was needed here."
Mon-El nodded. "I guess they finally realized your worth."
"My worth?" Kara sighed loudly. "I don't know, Mon-El. I don't know what I want anymore."
"You know, you are talented when it comes to writing. I understand that you don't want to do that because you are busy with Lee… But Babe, you started working when Kai turned six months old. We weren't even together then, but we still managed to raise this kid while keeping our jobs. Things are different now. We are married. We live together. Alura lives with us. We can take care of Lee while you work. So don't let this stop you… There's just one thing. Do you still want to work for CatCo after what happened?"
Kara sat up. "I loved working at CatCo. I grew as a person there. And a part of me wants to go there and work. But I—"
"There you go!" Mon-El got out of the bed and started getting dressed. He then made his way towards Kara and leaned down to kiss her head. "You have your answer."
Kara gave him a small smile. "So this is really happening, huh?"
"Yup! When our daughter turns six months old, you gotta go be Kara Danvers, because you've been waiting to do that for a while."
Kara got out of the bed and got dressed as well. When they stepped out of their room, they were greeted by Kai.
"Momma, Daddy, we go pway at park?"
Mon-El smiled and patted his son's head. "Sure, Kai! Let's see if Lee is up."
"Siter needs noo nappy," Kai said. And just as he said that, they heard Lee let out a cry. And it wasn't just that, both Mon-El and Kara heard something happening in the city.
Mon-El turned towards his wife and said, "I'll go change that diaper. You go be Supergirl!"
"Rao! I love it when you say that!" Kara grabbed Mon-El's face and kissed him eagerly before stepping away and running back to the room.
She was back in a second, dressed as Supergirl. Mon-El shook his head and grinned. "So darn fast. Alright, Supergirl, up, up and away!"
Kara winked at him and flew out of the balcony.
It felt really good when people shouted, "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Supergirl!" But there was no time for any theatrics. After all, there was a city to protect.
