Chapter 53: 53. Love Spreads**
“Let’s do it. Let’s take the kids out of school.”
“Really?” Kara squeaked. “Are you sure?”
“Yeah,” Alex confirmed. “I thought a lot about it, and I know how miserable the kids are at school, and I know how bad it was for you. I just- I want them to be less miserable. I mean, I don’t think this is going to be easy on them. They’re going to have to work a lot harder, but I think it’s the right decision. They’re smart girls, and they deserve a proper education, and maybe, just maybe we can convince them to work for L-Corp instead of the DEO when they grow up.”
Kara giggled. “That would be nice. I bet Jamie would make a great CEO.”
“No way, she’s too soft,” Maggie quipped. “Those board members would eat her little teddy bear heart out.”
“I could teach her a thing or two,” Lena piped up. “Lillian was a master puppeteer. I learned well the art of business and war. There are a few harmless things she could learn to bolster her self-confidence and teach her how to command a room.”
Alex nodded. “Sounds good. So tell us how this whole tutor thing is going to work?”
Lena took a deep breath. “Well, it might take me awhile to find all the right tutors, maybe we let them finish seventh grade, and then work it out so that they’re ready to start in September? That will give us time to arrange everything.”
“I can live with that,” Kara agreed. “There’s so much for us to do with the babies coming, and they’re going to need to take baby care classes and stuff. They can take those over the summer while they’re out of school.”
“I’ll probably take them too,” Lena informed them. “I’ve never really taken care of a baby.”
“I think we should all take them together,” said Maggie. “Make it a family thing.”
“Yeah!” Kara said cheerfully, kissing the detective on the cheek. “That’s a great idea, Maggie. Danvers family fun!”
“No harm in a refresher course,” Alex shrugged amicably. “Sounds good to me.”
“Man, we’ve got so much to do!” Kara panicked a little. “I don’t know how we’re gonna do it all!”
“Well, at least there are four of us to help with the load,” Lena soothed her. “None of us has to do it all alone.”
“That’s a huge relief,” replied Maggie.
“El Mayara,” Alex said proudly.
“El Mayara,” the other three responded.
“By the way,” the redhead continued, putting her hands on her hips, “It seems that everyone we know knows that someone is pregnant.”
Kara blushed in embarrassment. “They guessed it! It’s not my fault! They don’t know who’s pregnant.”
“Like it matters at this point,” Maggie rolled her eyes.
“Yeah, thanks for the heads up,” Alex huffed.
“I’m sorry!” Kara pouted. “I didn’t mean for them to find out.”
“Well, what’s done is done,” Lena commented. “Might as well tell them.”
Alex crossed her arms over her chest, “I told Mon-El I wasn’t going to tell him who was pregnant, and that he’d just have to figure it out when it was obvious.”
“Oookay,” Kara hummed. “I guess that works.”
Lena chuckled. “Works for me.”
With that settled, they sat down and talked about the things Kara and Lena had been researching, then Alex and Lena started geeking about the things on the flash drive Lena had sent over to the DEO. It wasn’t long before the twins were out of their showers and back in the living room, soaking up as many cuddles as they could get before they had to go to bed. No one told them about the tutoring yet. It was as though the adults had made a silent pact to surprise them later on. This way, they could finish school without too many distractions, and they wouldn’t spend the rest of their school year mentally checking out of their lessons.

The rest of the week went by in a blur. Kara and Lena made a lot of progress deciding on baby items during the day, then at night, Lena, Alex and Winn worked primarily on their anti-kryptonite technology. Winn’s model was OK at diffusing the K blasts from Metallo, but it broke too easily, and didn’t cover enough of Kara’s body. With Lena’s investments through L-Corp in Nth metal, they now had the ability to build a stronger model. The CEO was also able to shrink down the absorbers, so Supergirl could have many smaller bits covering more of her body. This allowed them to build them into the suit without ruining the overall aesthetic. They were quite proud of themselves for this. Next time anyone came near Kara with Kryptonite, she would be a hell of a lot safer. Winn made it his next project to make an entire suit of the Kryptonite absorbers. It was just the sort of tinkering that he loved to do. Alex and Lena opted out of that one, choosing instead to refocus their time on looking at houses and shopping for vehicles that could accommodate all the new family members they were about to get.

Before they knew it, the weekend was upon them, and it was time for them to have dinner with Chief Williams and his partner Robert. The foursome worked together to make dinner, while the twins secretly switched clothes for their April Fool's prank.
When the guests arrived, the kids answered the door with dopey grins on their faces. "Hi!" they both greeted cheerfully.
"Hello, girls, I'm Chief of Police Jeff Williams, and this is my husband Robert."
"Well, hello, girls! Aren't you just the cutest things!" Robert cooed, handing them each a small, neatly wrapped gift. "Happy April Fool's!"
"Wow, cool!" said Jessie.
"Thanks!" said Jamie. "Can we open them?"
"Of course!" Chief Williams nodded eagerly.
The twins tore open their gifts to reveal a set of fake ice cubes with fake flies in them and a fake pack of gum that zaps people when they try to take it.
"Cool!" Jessie replied. "I can't wait to get Mom with these!" She folded the package and stuck the fake cubes in her pocket, sharing a mischievous grin with the Chief.
"Girls? Is that them?" Maggie called, appearing from the kitchen. She grinned when she turned the corner. "Hey, guys!”
“There’s our girl!” Robert hugged Maggie tightly and kissed her on the cheek. “Congratulations, sweetheart.”
“Thanks, Robert,” Maggie replied gratefully.
“Hold this so I can get a hug too.” Chief Williams handed a homemade cake over to his partner and squeezed the detective, albeit slightly more gently than normal.
“Come on, guys, right this way.” Maggie lead them into the kitchen where her wives were putting the finishing touches on the food. They all turned their attention to their guests. “Ladies, I believe you know Chief Williams, and this is his partner Robert.”
The group exchanged greetings, all smiles and good natured introductions.
“Oh, I know you,” the Chief said to Kara. “I’ve seen you around the precinct a few times bringing my detective food.”
“Yep!” Kara replied with a friendly smile. “My honey bunny’s gotta eat.”
He turned to Maggie, “I guess I have met your partners, I just didn’t realize who they were to you.”
"Yeah, these are my girls," Maggie replied proudly, lacing her fingers through Alex's. "We're all Danvers now."
"Congratulations, ladies," Chief Williams grinned. "We have a wedding gift for you." He took the cake from Robert and handed it over to Maggie, freeing Robert's hands to proffer the gift. It was very beautifully wrapped in shiny burgundy paper with a gold bow.
Maggie set the cake down on the counter to accept the package. "Aww, you guys didn't have to do that."
"Nonsense," the chief retorted. "We're gifts people. Don’t try to stop us."
Maggie chuckled, "OK, fine, be that way." She opened the wrapping to reveal a beautiful crystal vase. They all oohed and ahhed over it as she passed it around for everyone to see. “Thanks, you guys. It’s gorgeous!”
“You’re welcome, sweetie,” Robert answered.
The chief nodded. “We’re glad you like it.”
“Lena and Mama buy flowers all the time!” Jessie informed them. “They’ll look so pretty in there!”
“Who's Mama?" Robert asked, confused.
“It’s what they call Kara,” Maggie explained.
“Yeah, I don’t think she wanted to be called ‘Daddy,’” Jessie giggled.
The William’s eyes lit up in (mostly) understanding, while Kara blushed fiercely, and Alex swatted at Jess’s shoulder.
“Yes, indeed,” Maggie placed the crystal vase on the counter next to the sink. “Are you guys hungry? I think the food is as done as it’s gonna get.”
“We’re having enchiladas!” Jessie said proudly, bouncing on her toes.
It was only now that Alex noticed her children’s clothes. “What the- Jessie, I thought you weren’t wearing dresses anymore? And why is Jamie in your clothes?”
The twins groaned. “You weren’t supposed to say anything!” Jamie complained.
Alex rolled her eyes. “Go change.”
“But it’s April Fool’s Day!” Jessie whined. “We’re supposed to trick people!”
“OK, trick played, now go change, so we can eat.”
The girls huffed and stomped off to their room.
Robert grinned, clearly entertained by the twins’ antics. “Do they do that a lot?”
“All the time,” Alex shook her head with a smirk. “We might as well sit down.” She grabbed one of the trays of enchiladas and brought it to the table. Kara and Lena grabbed the others, and they all found a seat.
Lena retrieved a couple of the new House of El glasses out of the cupboard. “What can I get you two to drink? We have water, juice, soda, wine, scotch...?”
“Oh, we won’t drink, if you can’t. It just doesn’t seem fair,” Chief Williams answered. “How spicy is the food? I might need a glass of milk, if you have it. I’m getting to be an old man, and heartburn comes easily nowadays.”
“Absolutely,” Lena opened the fridge. “It shouldn’t be too spicy, I’m a wimp when it comes to Scovills,” she chuckled.
“Alex isn’t much better,” Maggie said, bumping shoulders with her wife.
The agent bumped her back. “Pain is not a flavor.”
Their guests chuckled.
“I’ll have a soda, if you don’t mind,” Robert requested.
Lena busied herself with the drinks, and by the time she was finished, the twins were returning to the group in their own clothes.
“Let’s eat! I’m starving!” Jessie exclaimed.
“Um, please excuse me for a minute,” Lena said looking a little green around the gills. She walked as quickly as she could in her heels to the other side of the apartment, disappearing behind the bedroom door.
“Is she OK?” the Chief asked Maggie.
The detective shrugged. “She’s probably not feeling well. None of us have been feeling real great since the morning sickness started, but I think she’s got it the worst.”
“Ah," he nodded. "That would explain it. Should we wait for her?”
Maggie shook her head. “No, who knows if she’s even going to come back.”
“I’ll go check on her in a couple minutes, if she doesn’t come back out,” Kara told them. “Usually she just shoos me away, so I don’t want to crowd her.”
“OK, if you’re sure.”
Maggie started divvying out the food, first to her guests, then the kids, then her wives, then herself. She skipped Lena, not knowing if her partner was even going to bother eating now.
“So, have you guys gotten any sonograms or anything yet?” the chief asked hopefully.
The girls shook their heads. “No, we have our first appointment Monday,” Alex answered. “The same doctor that delivered these two,” she jabbed her thumb toward the twins.
“Cool!” Jessie exclaimed. “I want to meet her!”
“You can,” Alex confirmed.
“Awesome!”
“It’s still really early, though, I don’t think we’ll be able to see anything yet,” Alex continued. “The only reason we even found out we were pregnant already was because Supergirl smelled it on us.”
“Interesting,” the Williams’ said in unison, thoughtful expressions on their faces. Of course, people never stop to realize Kara’s powers go beyond the obvious. A super sense of smell wasn’t usually on the list, if one was asked.
“How do you girls feel about being big sisters?” Robert asked.
The girls looked cautiously at Maggie before replying.
Maggie rolled her eyes, “Oh, go ahead.” She waved a dismissive hand at them, nearly regretting it when Jessie squealed at ear piercing levels. What came next was a cacophony of the twins gushing and squealing and being generally super excited for the babies. It went on for nearly a whole five minutes before they settled back down, grinning stupidly.
“Are you done?” Alex asked, rubbing her ears. She had the misfortune of having Jessie right next to her when she screeched.
“Never!” Jessie proclaimed.
“We’ll see how you feel after being kept up all night by babies crying,” Alex retorted.
The chief and his husband just smiled affectionately at them. “So what else should we know about you girls?” he asked the twins.
The twins clammed up, neither able to think of anything noteworthy that they were allowed to share.
“Well,” Kara began to answer for them, “They’re really, really, smart, and very affectionate and kind and loving.”
“And they’re amazing at drawing and dancing, and self-defense,” Alex added.
The kids blushed at their parents’ praise.
“Sounds like you two are very proud,” the chief observed.
“Yep,” Alex gave her daughter a squeeze. “They turned out mostly alright,” she winked.
“Hey!” Jessie growled and poked her mom in the ribs.
“I said mostly!” Alex defended with a smirk.
Jessie let out a roar that sounded more like baby Simba than anything intimidating.
Alex giggled and tickled her.
“Mommy! Stop it!” Jessie shrieked.
The agent twisted her finger in her ear. “Ow! Would you stop with the assault on my ear drums?”
Jessie huffed, “It’s my only defense! You’re not ticklish!”
“Stop playing and eat before Jamie eats it all.”
“No!” she put her arms protectively around her plate and shoved a huge mouthful of food into her mouth.
“Take it easy!” Alex chided her.
The Williams didn’t seem phased by Jessie’s antics. Only entertained.
“What grade are you girls in?” the chief continued, enjoying getting to know them.
“Seventh,” Jamie answered, since her sister was doing her best impression of a chipmunk. We only have a few more weeks of school, though, thank god!”
“They hate school,” Kara explained. “They think it’s boring.”
“It is!” Jamie insisted.
Alex shook her head. “They get that from Kara. I loved school. It wasn’t until I started working in the actual hospital that I started to get bored.”
“That’s because you’re an adrenaline junkie,” Kara replied.
“Is that why you joined the FBI?” Chief Williams asked.
The redhead nodded. “Yep. Now I love my job. I feel like I use all of my skills there, not just one or two. It can be stressful, but it’s worth it to keep people safe.”
The Chief nodded approvingly. “And what do you girls want to be when you grow up?”
“We want to be in law enforcement too,” Jessie informed him.
“Really?” the Chief seemed surprised.
The twins nodded. “We love defense training!” Jessie continued. “I haven’t decided if I want to work with Mom or Maggie, but it has to be one of them.”
“Law enforcement isn’t going around beating people up,” the Chief explained. “It’s a lot of talking to people who generally don’t want to talk to you, and lots and lots of paperwork.”
The twins looked at each other, knowing they couldn’t explain that they’d be beating up rogue aliens and Cadmus goons, so they chose to remain silent on the matter.
“We know that,” Jamie said, “But we still want to do it.”
“Well, I hope I’m still around to see your success should you really want to do that in the future,” the Chief encouraged. “We need good minds in the field, as much as able bodies. I have to insist that you don’t neglect your studies.”
The adults all nodded their agreement.
The girls pouted a little and went back to stuffing their faces.
That’s when Lena reappeared. “I’m so sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but I wasn’t feeling well there for a moment.” She sat back in her seat and let Kara stroke her shoulders.
“It’s quite alright,” the Chief assured her.
“Are you OK, sweetheart?” Kara whispered.
The brunette nodded. “Yes, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to eat anything.”
“You want a smoothie?” the blonde offered.
“No, thank you. Not right now.” She leaned on Kara to snuggle a bit, and Kara kissed her temple.
“I love you, baby, I’m sorry you don’t feel well. Especially because this food is amazing, and it’s a shame you can’t eat it.”
Lena chuckled. “You can have mine, OK? Enjoy it for me.”
“OK,” the reporter kissed her head again, but didn’t move to eat anything else yet, choosing to let Lena cuddle into her instead.
Maggie stretched over Kara to kiss Lena’s forehead, and Alex told her, “Give her one from me, I can’t reach her.” So Maggie kissed her head again. For once Lena seemed to be liking the attention, so Maggie kissed her a couple more times for good measure.
“You girls are adorable,” Robert commented.
“Agreed,” the Chief smiled affectionately at them.
The women blushed, Maggie especially. She wasn’t used to being so affectionate in front of anyone from her job, but her love for Lena sometimes made her forget herself.
“Please don’t tell anyone at work that,” she complained.
The Chief smirked. “My lips are sealed,” he winked. “I wouldn’t want to be accused of favoritism, even though you are my favorite.”
Everyone grinned proudly at Maggie, and she ducked her head to hide more blushing. “Thanks, Chief.”
“So, Robert, what do you do for a living?” Alex was curious.
“Oh, I own a few food trucks around town. Best barbeque you can get in the state,” he answered proudly.
Kara shared an excited look with her children.
“Awesome,” Alex responded.
“Yeah, it’s amazing,” Maggie confirmed. “They always cater at the precinct picnic every year. Kara and the girls would go nuts.”
“Is there one this year?” Jessie asked hopefully. “Are we allowed to go?”
“Yes, and yes,” the Chief nodded. “At the end of July.”
Alex could tell Jess was about to squeal again, so she quickly put her hands over her daughter’s mouth, stopping her cold.
“Sweetie, you don’t have to wait until then to eat my food. I’ll hook you guys up!” Robert informed her.
“Sweeeeet!” Jessie howled.
Jamie clapped her hands. “You guys are awesome!”
“You’ve discovered the secret to my daughters’ hearts,” Alex chuckled.
“Barbeque?” Robert asked.
Alex shook her head, “Just food in general.”
The Williams’ chuckled.
“They get that from Kara, too,” the agent pointed an accusing finger at her wife. “She’ll eat anything.”
Lena raised a sleepy finger in the air, “Except kale. Don’t try to feed her kale. God forbid she should like something that’s so good for you.”
They all laughed.
“Can you girls cook for yourselves?” the Chief wondered.
The twins nodded.
“Yeah, my mom took care of that,” Alex confirmed. “She’s an amazing cook, way better than us.”
“Mmm,” the Chief scrunched his brow together. “She must be Rachel Ray herself, if she can beat this,” he raised his fork to indicate the food he was eating.
“Pretty close,” Maggie acknowledged. “Man, I wish I would have known I could invite you to the wedding, you could have met her. I’m sorry again, guys.”
“No harm done,” Chief Williams waved her off. “I’m just glad you know now that you can share your life with us, no judgment.”
“Thanks,” Maggie smiled softly. “That means a lot to me.” She looked around at her family, and corrected herself, “To us.” The Danvers’ all nodded their agreement.
Much to the surprise of everyone, Lena reached out and took a small tentative bite off of Kara’s plate. She chewed slowly, but when she realized everyone’s eyes were on her, she froze. “Why is everyone looking at me?” she muttered.
Jessie helpfully answered, “We’re waiting to see if you’re gonna throw up.”
“Jess!” Alex huffed.
“I’m fine,” Lena assured them, though she had yet to lift herself out of Kara’s arms. “I wouldn’t be eating anything if I wasn’t.” She took another tiny bite to prove it. “It did turn out really well.” Kara’s stomach chose that moment to growl, and Lena finally realized she was keeping the Kryptonian from eating her dinner. “Oh, Kara, I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking.” She sat up and indicated to the blonde to dig back in.
“It’s fine, sweetheart,” Kara assured her. “I’m not gonna starve from holding you for a few minutes.”
“You sure about that?” Lena smirked.
Kara stuck her tongue out, and Lena laughed and threw a napkin at her face. The reporter curbed her reflexes just in time, and she managed to not catch the paper coming at her, which made Lena laugh more. Hearing the brunette laugh made Kara melt a little inside, and she grinned affectionately at her wife. Lena couldn’t possibly be more beautiful to her, and her insides stirred a bit, but now was dinner time with guests, so she tamped it down the best she could. Lena probably wouldn’t want that tonight, anyway.
Chief Williams went back to his getting-to-know-you questions, “Kara, I don’t think I know what you do for a living, what’s your job?”
The blonde swallowed down her food before answering, “Um, I’m a reporter at CatCo.”
“A reporter?” the Chief repeated. “That’s an interesting combination. A reporter married to a cop, a Fed, and a CEO. You must get the scoops of a lifetime.”
“Well, I assure you, I don’t get insider information from the police or anything. But I do get the Supergirl stories, since Alex works with her, so I guess I do get pretty great scoops. In fact, Lena was my very first interview.”
“And you hit it off right away, huh?” Robert presumed.
“Actually, no,” Kara admitted. “We had a bit of a disagreement at first.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I was pretty upset about the alien detection device when she originally revealed it to me, but I eventually saw the good in it, so that didn’t last long. After that, it was pretty easy to get along. It’s hard not to adore her, especially the more you get to know her. The twins fell instantly in love with her the moment they laid eyes on her.”
Jessie and Jamie nodded their abundant agreement.
“Aww,” Robert cooed. “That’s so cute.”
“I felt the same way when I met them,” Lena admitted. “They’re the sweetest things on two legs.”
The twins blushed.
“There’s a lot of love here,” Robert observed. “I’m so happy for you all, and I’m glad we got to come hang out. You’re all very pleasant company. We should get together every month, at least.”
The group agreed.
“Can we have some cake now, Mom?” Jessie batted her eyelashes.
Alex looked around the table, “What do you say, guys? Are we ready for dessert?” She received a chorus of affirmatives from around the table, so she took it upon herself to dish some out to everyone except Lena.
“Mmm!” Jessie’s eyes lit up after taking a bite. “You guys made this?”
“Robert did, yes,” the Chief answered.
“It tastes really good,” Jamie confirmed.
“Thank you, sweetie,” Robert grinned. “It’s just a little chocolate cake. No biggie.”
“Our moms aren’t very good at baking,” Jamie told them. “Lena’s pretty good, though.”
“Oh, she is, is she?” Robert replied. “I look forward to trying something of yours. Next time, we’ll switch. We’ll bring dinner, and you can do dessert. Well, if you’re feeling up to it, that is.”
Lena nodded and tried to smile as warmly as she could muster. “It’s a deal.”
The group finished off their dessert, and the Williams asked more questions about the Danvers. They spent a good two hours just talking and getting to know each other before their guests had to leave. They made their goodbyes with hugs all around, all smiles and warmth at their newfound friendships. Promising to see each other soon, the Williams left the penthouse, and the Danvers started cleaning up.
When Kara noticed that Lena was struggling to stand up, she took the rag out of the brunette’s hands. “Go sit down, my love. We’ve got this.”
The CEO pouted a little, but Kara gave her a look that brokered no argument, so she sat down at the kitchen table and tried to drink some water. With everyone pitching in, the kitchen was clean in no time. By then, Lena was resting her head on her arms on the table, so Kara scooped her up and carried her bridal-style to the couch, holding her in her lap. It was a testament to Lena’s exhaustion that she didn’t make a peep of protest at Kara’s actions. She just snuggled into the blonde’s arms and rested there, holding on a little desperately.
“I’ve got you, Lena,” Kara whispered to her.
Jamie came up behind them and covered them with the blanket from the back of the couch, tucking them in neatly. “Snug as a bug in a rug,” she announced.
“Thank you, baby,” Kara replied.
“Can we watch Moana?” Jessie requested, scooting under Lena’s feet and cuddling them, making sure they were wrapped securely in the blanket.
“Yeah!” Jamie cheered, picking up the remote and turning on the TV.
“I guess so,” Alex allowed, sitting next to Jessie.
When Maggie sat on the other side, leaving her nowhere else to sit, Jamie looked a little nervous, “Um, Maggie, is it OK if I sit next to you?”
“Yes, Jamie, I’m not going to bite you,” Maggie retorted.
Jamie bit her lip and sat down next to the detective, but didn’t cuddle in, like she wanted to. She didn’t know if that would be well received or not. Much to her surprise, Maggie pulled her in to cuddle in their usual position, and the little blonde finally relaxed. “I love you, Maggie,” she breathed, fighting back tears of relief.
“I love you too, little love bug,” the Latina kissed her forehead.
Alex smiled and laced her fingers through Maggie’s as they watched the movie. Before Moana even left the island, Lena was fast asleep in Kara’s arms. The Kryptonian didn’t mind. She just held her wife until the movie was over, then picked her up and carried her to bed. Lena didn’t even stir when Kara changed her into her pajamas. Before she was finished, Kara heard the sounds of several fire trucks and police driving by. She tucked Lena under the covers, let her family know she was leaving, and zipped out the balcony doors. Apparently there was a big fire down at the docks. She busied herself getting people to safety and doing her best to keep the fires a bay with her freeze breath. Even with the combined efforts of Supergirl and the authorities, it still took a good hour to get everything under control. By the time the fires were all out, it was still a mystery as to how they started. Supergirl would have to wait until later for more information, and she certainly would be doing some investigating as Kara Danvers, intrepid reporter. A fire at the docks was highly unusual, especially one this big. It was suspicious.
Meanwhile, back at home, Alex was having a hell of a time getting the girls to go to bed. Jamie wanted to run off and help Kara, and Jessie claimed to be worried about her Mama.
“I assure you guys that Mama has everything under control!” she said, voice firm, but not loud. “If it wasn’t, Maggie or I would have gotten a phone call. It’s fine. Everything is fine. You don’t need to worry, and you don’t need to go help. Cadmus would have a conniption if they found out there were more Kryptonians! We need to eliminate them before you guys even think about going out and revealing yourselves. Not to mention, you’re way too young for stuff like that. Mama was twenty-six before she revealed herself as Supergirl. You’ve got a long way to go before you’re that age, so just chill.”
“I’m not waiting until I’m twenty-six!” Jamie argued. “One day soon, you guys are gonna need me, and I’m looking forward to it.”
Alex face-palmed. “We are not having this discussion again. Go. To. Bed.”
The twins grumbled and climbed into their big California King.
“I love you. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Mom.”
“Night, Mommy.”
After the bedroom door was closed, Alex sighed. She hated Cadmus, and yet, she was currently thankful that they were around to keep Jamie from running out and “helping.” Alex knew she could use them as a sort of boogeyman to keep her daughters in line. God help her, they were stubborn! And Rao help them, if they ever do catch Cadmus. She was pretty sure that would encourage Jamie to reveal herself. She shuddered at the thought of her young daughter going through what Kara went through. If there were any gods out there, she hoped they looked after her kids.
She went back to the living room and cuddled next to Maggie. “These kids are gonna be the death of me,” she lamented.
Maggie scratched her nails through Alex’s hair, trying to relax her. After a few minutes of this, Alex started getting turned on and turned her head to kiss her wife. Their kisses were gentle, but passionate, leaving both of them wanting more.
“Let’s move this to the bedroom,” Alex husked after a while.
Maggie pursed her lips, “Lena’s in there sleeping. I don’t want to wake her up.”
“Sun room?” the redhead suggested.
“Yeah,” the detective replied with another kiss.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Hand-in-hand, they headed to the sun room and locked the door to keep the kids from walking in on them. Their lips immediately found one another again, and they walked blindly toward the bed until Maggie’s legs hit the side. Alex lifted her wife by the ass and threw her backwards onto the mattress with a smirk. She shed her pants and shirt, while Maggie did the same, leaving them both in their underwear. They once again were lip to lip, relishing the skin-to-skin contact. Their hands roamed everywhere, followed soon by lips and teeth and tongues. They playfully wrestled for dominance, resulting in Alex straddling a belly down Maggie, pinning her arms behind her back. The agent chuckled lowly, nudging the detective’s knees apart and slipping her free hand between the Latina’s thighs, teasing her through her underwear.
Maggie submitted, but not before letting out a positively filthy groan from Alex’s touch. She loved this side of her wife, and nothing turned her on like the agent showing her strength. She rocked her hips back into the fingers teasing at her clit, knowing that she was at her wife’s mercy now. Alex kept hold of her wrists with one hand, while the other stroked her pussy. A few seconds later, and she felt teeth nipping at her shoulder.
“Are you gonna be a good girl now?” Alex practically growled.
Maggie tested the grip on her wrists. When she was positive she couldn’t get away, she answered a bit breathlessly, “I’ll be good, if you quit teasing me.”
She could hear the smirk in Alex’s voice, “I’ll stop teasing when you submit.”
Maggie huffed, “OK, OK! I’ll behave, I promise.” She lay still to prove it.
The redhead counted to five in her head, doing nothing but driving Maggie crazy with suspense. When those dreadful seconds had passed, the Latina found herself released and she let her arms fall to her sides in relief. Before she had time to recover, her underwear was being dragged down and off of her and Alex’s hand found its way between her thighs again.
“God, yes!” Maggie groaned into the pillow, tucking her arms beneath it.
Alex encouraged her, stroking broad circles around her aching clit. “There’s my good girl.”
The detective let her hips move a little, but held back, not knowing how much the agent would let her get away with. Alex was hitting just right, she didn’t want her to stop.
“My Maggie,” the redhead whispered, pressing kisses up and down her spine. “My good girl.”
As much as the detective was entertained by the whole ‘good girl’ thing in the beginning, she craved it now, as much as the touch. It was an affirmation that had her wounded heart starting to heal. Something about these Danvers women - Lena included - was affecting her at a soul-deep level. Changing her into a new, more secure, less anxious kind of person. She loved her wives more than she knew it was even possible to love one someone, let alone three someones. It ached in her chest, and she could feel it swirling inside her, as if Alex was stirring it up with her beautiful, talented fingers. When she came, she came hard, smothering her cries into the pillow to keep from waking the kids. (She didn’t want to have to fork out bribe money every time she and Alex had sex. Once was enough.)
The redhead stroked her back while she panted to catch her breath. When she turned over, Alex was grinning.
“I love you, Mags” she said with a kiss.
“Love you too, babe. Now come ‘ere.” She pulled Alex down on top of her, peppering her face and neck with kisses. “I want you to ride my face.”
The agent’s eyes narrowed with lust. She stripped her panties off and crawled up the bed, her legs around Maggie’s shoulders, grabbing the headboard and stroking the detective’s hair. At the first touch of Maggie’s tongue through her folds, she groaned long and low. The Latina languidly explored her pussy, teasing her and working her up, even though she was already soaked. Alex didn’t mind. She gently rocked her hips into Maggie’s face, careful not to buck too hard. The Latina teased her until her legs shook with need, and she finally begged for release. When Maggie finally focused on her clit, Alex’s hands white-knuckled the headboard to keep her from crying out too loud.
“Fuck, Maggie! Yes!” The detective licked her in tight, fast circles, and soon she was biting her own arm to muffle the screams her orgasm tore out of her. Alex fell bonelessly over onto the bed, a look of pure bliss on her face. “God, I didn’t realize how much I needed that,” she panted.
Maggie chuckled. “Same here.”

They snuggled there together for a while before Alex spoke, “Wanna watch TV or something? Maybe we can figure out what Supergirl is up to.”
“Sure,” the detective agreed easily.
The cleaned up and redressed themselves, retiring to the living room to watch the news. The media was definitely covering Supergirl’s whereabouts, revealing a mysterious fire on the docks, but no suspects. As of now, they had yet to even put the fire out, so they would all have to wait for more information.
Jamie’s spidey senses must have been tingling because she came padding out, rubbing her eyes and looking worriedly at the TV.
Alex rolled her eyes. “Why are you out of bed?”
The girl’s answer was only a petulant whine.
“You’re not going out there.”
“But I can help!”
“I don’t care! How many times are we gonna have this discussion?! Aren’t you in enough trouble as it is?”
The young blonde flopped down on the couch next to them. “I can’t sleep when Mama’s out there doing dangerous stuff!”
Maggie looked seriously at her, “A little fire isn’t gonna hurt Supergirl, I assure you. She’ll be home before you know it.”
Alex sighed, “You going out and doing quote ‘dangerous stuff’ is not going to solve anything. Do you have your red sun band on?”
“Yes,” Jamie revealed the black band around her wrist.
“Put some calming music on your phone and go to bed. Sitting out here watching the news is just gonna make your anxiety worse. We love you, now go to bed.”
Jamie huffed and stomped back to her room. Thankfully, she didn’t slam the door and wake her sister up.
Alex snuggled into Maggie. “It makes my chest hurt to think of either of my kids out there doing what Supergirl does. I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to keep them under control. Next year their going to be teenagers, and God help me, their attitudes are bad enough sometimes. What’s gonna happen when they’re full blown teenage rebels?”
The detective scratched the back of her neck. “Honestly, babe, it could be worse. Not many kids’ rebellion involves going out and helping people in spite of their parents telling them not to. You know? They could be going out and robbing banks and stuff. With their powers, there wouldn’t be anyone to stop them. But that’s not what they want. They want to be heroes like their parents. I think that’s pretty great. I think that shows that you’ve done a good job with them. Their hearts are full of love and compassion, not hate and selfishness. That’s a good thing.”
The redhead melted even further into their embrace. “That’s really nice. I’m glad you said that. Thank you, Maggie. Have I told you lately how much I love you?”
“Hmm,” the Latina looked thoughtful for a moment, “Not in the last, oh, five minutes or so.”
They both giggled.
“I love you,” Alex said with a kiss.
“I love you too,” Maggie answered with a dimpled smile.
They just snuggled and watched TV for a while, and before they knew it, Kara was home, smelling like smoke, her face and hair filthy. She looked like the chimney sweeps in Mary Poppins. She excused herself to go shower, begging Alex and Maggie to come up with some food for her. The pair wandered into the kitchen, pulling out some stuff from the fridge, and made their wife a bunch of sandwiches with some fruits and veggies on the side. Once she was fully cleansed from the remnants of the fire, the Kryptonian launched herself at the food, eating at an inhuman pace, barely even chewing before inhaling her meal. She thanked them through a mouthful of food, but didn’t bother to talk otherwise. When she was done, she grabbed a tub of ice cream out of the freezer and devoured that too.
Alex took this time to inform Kara of her displeasure with Jamie, and of Maggie’s words of comfort. The Kryptonian just nodded to assure them she was listening, but she was too busy stuffing her face to respond more than that. Once she finally finished eating, Kara spoke.
“Ahh! That’s one craving sated.”
Alex and Maggie both looked sheepishly back at her. “We kind of already had sex,” Maggie admitted.
The blonde pouted.
“Will you settle for a blowjob?” Alex offered.
“Please!” Kara begged at little desperately. “Anything’s better than nothing.”
The three of them headed back into the sun room, and Alex and Maggie worked together to take care of Kara’s needs. It wasn’t the rough and tumble she really wanted, but she’d take what she could get. When they were done, they cleaned up after themselves and headed towards the master suite to turn in for the night.
They slept for about three hours, waking to the sound of Lena getting sick in the bathroom.
“I got it,” Kara whispered to the other two. “Go back to sleep.” She floated out of the middle of the bed and sought out her wife. She said nothing, at first, just watching Lena as she rested her head on her arms over the seat of the toilet. She knew Lena didn’t like being seen like this, but damn it, Kara wanted nothing more than to hold her and soothe her. Eventually, she spoke softly, “You want some water, sweetheart?”
The brunette nodded wordlessly, and Kara walked at human pace to get the water and come back. She opened the bottle and passed it to Lena, who took it and rinsed her mouth.
“I’ll be in the living room, if you need me, OK?” Kara assured.
Again, Lena nodded, so Kara left her alone, heart aching for the suffering her wives were having to endure because of her. Of course, she was excited for her unborn children, but pregnancy was hard, and there was little to nothing Kara could do to ease the distress. She flipped on the Great British Baking Show and tried to take her mind off things.
She wished she could bake. It was something she wasn’t great at, and it frustrated her. She was Supergirl, she should be able to do pretty much anything, but something about it just stumped her. Her own twelve-year-old daughters were master cookie bakers. They had to have gotten that from Eliza because Alex was shit at baking too. About a half an hour later, Kara’s internal rant about baking was interrupted by the appearance of Lena straddling her lap and melting into her.
“There’s my sweet girl,” Kara hugged her, rocking back and forth a little.
“I think I’m OK now,” Lena told her. “I brushed my teeth three times, is it OK to kiss you?”
The blonde nodded, “I’d love it if you did.”
The CEO sat up a little and gently connected their lips. “Is that OK?”
“Yeah, all I taste is your cinnamon toothpaste.”
Lena smirked and kissed her again, this time a little deeper. “Still good?”
“Yep,” Kara responded, drawing her back in for more kisses. She stroked her hands through silky brunette hair, mentally thanking Rao that Lena was feeling like being close right now.
“Mama? ” Kara heard from the hallway. She sighed. Why did kids always have such a knack for interrupting adult time?
“In here,” she called back.
Lena didn’t budge, so Kara craned her neck to see which of her daughters was calling her. “Jamie, what’s the problem?”
“Are you OK?” the younger Kryptonian sat on the couch next to her parents.
“I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?”
“That fire,” was all Jamie answered.
“Pfft, a little fire never hurt me any. Is that all?”
The preteen frowned, telling Kara that there was something else, but the girl was reluctant to say anything.
“What is it?”
“I really think I should be able to help with stuff like that. I mean, there’s no chance of me getting hurt putting out a fire, right? And you could have used my help tonight, right?”
“No!” the elder Kryptonian’s voice was firm. “You know why you can’t go out and reveal yourself. Do you want Cadmus to find us? We’re about to have a boatload of babies, do you really want them to be in danger?”
“Of course not!” the girl pouted. “I don’t think it would be that bad, though!”
“You have no idea how bad it could be. I don’t even want to think about how bad it could be because as soon as you start to get cocky like that, that’s when everything goes to hell in a hand basket.”
Jamie stomped her foot on the floor.
Lena raised her eyebrow in challenge, wiping the defiant look off the preteen’s face. “Jamie, if you put these babies in danger after forcing us to get pregnant, we’re going to have a serious problem. Do you understand me?”
Eyes down, Jamie muttered, “Yes, Lena.”
“I mean it. I’ll make sure you eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the rest of your life, if I have to.”
Jamie looked positively affronted. “OK, OK!”
“Good,” said Kara, “Now go to bed!”
The younger blonde huffed and dragged her feet as she returned to her room.
When she heard the door close, Kara giggled.
“What?” Lena demanded.
The reporter giggled some more. “Jamie’s face when you threatened her food supply! You really know how to go for the jugular, babe.”
Lena huffed a laugh and shook her head. “She needed to see how serious I was.”
“You did good, honey. Can we go back to kissing now?”
The CEO smirked. “I had a little more than kissing in mind.”
“You did?” Kara’s face lit up.
Lena nodded.
“Ohh, can we get back to that, then?” Alex and Maggie had done a great job at taking care of her earlier, but her Kryptonian appetite extended to sex as well as food.
“Yes, dear.”

Kara’s hands wandered to Lena’s thighs, stroking up and down between her knees and her ass. Lena’s hands tangled in Kara’s hair, pulling her close and kissing her hungrily. The more Kara stroked Lena’s hips, the more the brunette rocked them, rousing the sleeping alien beast inside her. As the Kryptonian’s dick awakened, Lena ground against it, causing Kara to groan deeply. Dragging her hands from the CEO’s hips, Kara yanked down the top of Lena’s singlet, exposing her voluptuous breasts and latching on. This time was Lena’s turn to groan. She held onto Kara’s head while the blonde lavished her tits, keeping up with the movement of her hips that was making her soaked. When Kara’s hand finally touched her center, still over her clothes, she knew what the blonde would find, and wasn’t surprised at the Kryptonian’s low growl in reaction.
The next thing Lena knew was that her shorts and underwear were just gone. She heard the ripping sound, but it was done so quickly, she didn’t even see where they were thrown. A little paranoid about the kids walking in on them, Lena pulled the couch blanket around her to hide her nudity, but quickly leaned back in for more kisses. Kara pulled down the front of her sleep pants and underwear just enough to free her cock from its confines. Lena grabbed a hold of it, testing its firmness, and once she was convinced it was hard enough, she wasted no time in putting it inside her. They both moaned in response.
“Oh, yes, my sweet girl,” Kara whispered. She grabbed Lena firmly by the hips and rocked into her, sliding easily into her wet heat.
“Oh, God, Kara, yes!” Lena panted. She leaned forward, resting their foreheads together as they moved in tandem.
“My good girl. You feel so good.” The Kryptonian latched back onto Lena’s breasts, licking and sucking her nipples hungrily.
The brunette pulled her hair in response. “Oh, yes.”
Kara looked up from Lena’s breasts, “You don’t know how beautiful you look right now,” She was quite fond of Lena riding her dick like there was no tomorrow. They rocked together until Lena's legs gave out, and she just held onto Kara while she pistoned in and out of her.
The CEO was in no hurry, and she relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being filled by her lover. None of them had had sex all week, so it was especially fulfilling right now. Her build up was slow, but eventually she felt that familiar tingle and let Kara know, "I'm so close."
"Such a good girl. Come for me, sweetheart."
Lena buried her face in Kara's neck to muffle the cries of her orgasm, and Kara did the same to her, both of them rutting deeply to ride out their waves of pleasure. They could feel the hot waves of the Kryptonian's ejaculate painting Lena's insides and finally came to a rest.
"My good girl," Kara cooed, stroking her wife's back.
It wasn't long before Lena started moving again, but her thighs were screaming, so she pulled on Kara's shoulders, urging her to lay over her. They adjusted themselves into the missionary position and went a couple more rounds. Lena was too afraid to let Kara knot her, in case she started to get sick again, but that was OK with Kara. They were both completely sated, and they rested together while they came down from their high.

"Are you ready to go back to bed?" Kara asked.
Lena stretched languidly. “Yes, I think so.” She wrapped herself up in the blanket and walked with Kara back to the bedroom. The reporter found her some more shorts and underwear, so she put them on before crawling back into bed. Alex and Maggie were spooning fast asleep on one side of the bed, leaving the other half for Kara and Lena. They snuggled together, careful not to wake up the other two, and soon enough drifted off to sleep.
