Chapitre 23: Chapter 23: 'I will check more.'
The blonde reporter slowly comes to, sun barely over the horizon, beating down its warm rays over her groggy face. She slowly feels around to the spot next to her, seeking early morning cuddles with her girlfriend.
"Lee?" The cold spot next to Kara's overheating one makes her shoot straight up and frantically listen for her lover's beating heart. The Kryptonian only settles when she recognizes two other sleepy hearts surrounding Lena's, all on the couch settled on top of one another.
It's almost eight so Kara decides to take a shower and get ready for the day spent mostly at home. She makes it out in the common room forty-five minutes later to Sam in the kitchen slaving away a breakfast made for thirty.
"Mornin' Sam." Sam hands her a large cup of coffee to the Kryptonian, even though the caffeine-infused drink doesn't affect her Kryptonian cells, she greatly enjoys the flavour and sugary goodness; it's a great start to the day.
"When did that," the blonde motions to the three sleeping bodies on the couch, "happen?"
"I don't really know to be honest. I know Alex got up around four or so because she was hungry, I heard her stomach growl. I heard her talk to Lena, I thought it was best for that to be worked out between the two themselves. Maggie must have gotten up before seven, that's when I woke up to an empty bed and came out here to check if she was there. Then, bam, three cute little bodies." Sam smiles at the scene on the couch. She can only imagine the emotional torture they both went through after her radio silence, she will be apologizing for years to come.
Her eyes catch a sippy cup filled with what looks like to be tea and wonders who exactly was fed from it. The taller Kryptonian makes it back to the task at hand and cooks up six-packs worth of regular turkey bacon and it's vegan alternative.
"Hey blondey, when you're done with that coffee, cut up the fruit." Kara gulps the rest of the sugar down in one sip and chokes on the liquid.
Sam lets out an exasperated laugh, "that was deserved." The reporter puts her hands up in surrender, still coughing up the liquid trying to make its way to her lungs.
"Hey Kar." in turn the reporter hums in acknowledgment. "Have you talked to Lena yet, about the age play stuff?"
Sam is curious, she doesn't want to seem too nosey but she only asks because she knows that Kara and Lena are willing to share just about anything with her, Sam herself being the most level-headed out of any of them.
"Yes actually, she refused to continue the conversation when I first brought it up. Later that night, it was maybe two weeks ago, she came home from work and just about crashed." The blonde Kryptonian blows out a breath but it ends in a smile.
"The next day we spent most of it cuddled up together, we are nearly done with the talking phase of this dynamic but it's a lot to soak in so I'm giving her a reprieve. I really don't want her to feel overwhelmed, this all is supposed to roughly be a destresser, not add on extra anxieties. I've explained most of it to her the best I can, she knows that not much of it would be different from our 'usual relationship,' just different instruments and rules integrated into what we already do. She likes the overall idea once she got over the shock and ah of it all."
Kara washes the cut-up fruit and continues, "Her mannerisms aren't all entirely new, she goes mute when upset, she likes skin-to-skin, she's always sucked her fingers, I didn't find out until we moved in together, she never knew that I knew, she's tried to keep it hidden, for obvious reasons. When I told her I've known for a while before the night we got home from the DEO, 'cause that's when she saw that I saw, she was really embarrassed, but she got over it quickly once she realized that she's not the only one who's like her, she doesn't see it as weird anymore, or 'bad'. She's kinda excited to explore it all, she wants to try. In all honesty I'm really happy she's doing this, it can make me feel even more complete than I already feel, ya know?"
Sam smiles at that, "Yea, I know a thing or two. I felt complete when those two opened their relationship for me, god I was a nervous wreck because I didn't even think it was a possibility. Then when Alex and I walked in on one of Maggie's 'little' moment, and when we went through all of the shock, questions and all that other stuff, taking care of Maggie in a different light, it warmed me, so yea I get it. It just adds onto the love that's already there. My heart doesn't fill up with love as if there were or are empty spaces left over, no, it swells and overflows from all the additional love this kind of relationship brings, it expands my already full heart. I never knew that this is what an overflow of happiness could feel like. Honestly, I have no idea where I would be without them, as cliche as that sounds, it's the total truth."
Sam takes the bacon off the griller and starts to assemble BLT sandwiches, putting cheese and half of the breads and mayo on only a quarter of them, two and a half loaves worth, fit for three humans and two very hungry Kryptonians.
"We've tried feeding from a sippy cup, she's fond of that. She's intrigued by the baby bottle but she's hesitant. I assume that she's thinking I would see her as 'too little' or 'too babyish' to want to continue all this. I will definitely talk to her soon about it though, I don't want her to feel bad about who she is. I'm in this for the long hall." Kara helps with some of the sandwiches, sneaking in bites of bacon here and there. She sensed a fast-paced heart that she recognized as Lena. She shoves one more strip into her mouth and rinses off her hands from grease.
"Hey little star, let's have a bath before breakfast, hm?" Lena tries to blink her eyes awake but instead of waking up further, she snuggles deeper into the warm vanilla-scented body that lies asleep next to her.
"Sawbew'e'?"
"Yes hun, now up you go, let's start the day." Lena shuffles up from her position, eyelids still at half-mast, she holds her arms up indicating that she wants to be picked up and carried. The CEO's legs straddle the tall super, the cooking brunette in the background smiles with glee.
Kara's hand settles under her little girl's rump, the raveness' arms grip and hang onto Kara's neck, lightly though, with no real purpose but to support herself and snuff at her favourite sweet spot.
They make it to the bathroom and Kara seats her down on the closed toilet lid while she herself runs the warm bath.
She adds in strawberry essence and unscented bubbles for extra bubbly fluff. While the hero is preparing the bath, she can see out of the corner of her eye the uncomfortable energy Lena is giving off. She can see her wiggle about every so often and the crinkle of her brow solidifies her uneasiness.
"Lee, are you ok? Is it your ribs?" She knew Lena felt just a tiny bit sore around her injury, but it shouldn't make her feel like this, the feeling should probably only be noticed if she is actively thinking about it, and it shouldn't even be to this extent either.
The shorter girl shakes her head no, she continues to try and tone down her wiggling, but it is still noticeable to the Kryptonian. Kara's own brow scrunches in confusion, then it clicks.
"Lena hun, do you have to go potty?" She says softly, trying to convey with little words that it's alright to ask, it's alright to want help. Maybe the soft tone will help her little girl into a more trusting and open headspace.
In answer, her nose scrunches up and she shakes her head vigorously no. Her fingernails dig into her palms, not enough to draw blood, just to leave sore indents in her hand, she's trying to stop herself from something, it's obvious to the both of them what that is, but Lena would rather play dumb than voice her needs out loud.
Kara isn't sure why she is so frightened by the prospect of she herself giving Lena a hand to pee. Kara shuts off for the bath, she grabs a new fluffy towel and she hears a whimper escape Lena's tightly closed lips.
Kara's Kryptonian eyes sense something, and there it is, a wet spot forming on the crotch of Lena's sleep shorts, the dark spot covers just the seat of it and its surroundings slowly soak up the excess. The shorts don't let the liquid leak, just one small accident, barely noticeable.
"Come here, my little star." The little girl's eyes spring with tears, she tries to rub them away before they can go noticed. But they overflow her water lines and they drip drop down her now flushed and embarrassed cheeks.
Kara can tell that she's still trying to hold it in, of course she is, I still don't understand why she just doesn't ask me, or go herself.
Kara sighs at herself internally, treat her like she is a child, a child who knows nothing but the person they look up to, the person they put all their trust into. The person they put their very lives into. You, you are that person you half-wit! You're her mama, act like it!
The blonde takes charge, She swiftly scoops her up and opens the lid to the toilet. She quickly but gently unclothes Lena's bottom half and plops her onto the heated seat. Lena concentrates, she grabs onto Kara's hand and squeezes it tight with firm pressure, seeking comfort. Her legs kick softly back and forth with effort. Kara stands directly in front of her and guides her head to her softened stomach. She hums over the light trickles that expel from her baby.
The tears have stopped now, sniffles are all that's left.
Kara cleans up her girl and starts to undress her for her bath.
"I will check more, I'm sorry, the accident was my fault. Don't worry about it though, it was just an accident that can be cleaned up. You will smell like strawberries in no time."
Kara lifts her up and soon Lena is surrounded by mountains of bubbles. Kara scoops up some bubbles in her palm and slathers it onto Lena's chin forming a bubble beard, which tickles her a bit, the bathroom walls echo with Lena's glee, the best songs a child could ever sing.
Kara bathes her thoroughly, leaving her to play with the ocean equivalence of bubbles.
By the time Sam is done with breakfast, Lena is lotioned and clothed, smelling just as potent as Kara does when she finishes showering.
"Kara, we are out of apple juice, can you grab some please." The blonde nods her head in affirmative and her suit plasters on her body once she removes her glasses. She sits Lena on the breakfast stool and kisses her head goodbye.
"I'll be back in a jiffy."
Today will be a good day, a great day even.
Well, it would have been before she flies straight into something solid, everything goes dark.
