บท 35: Chapter 35: The Littlest of Minds
Maggie groggily opens her eyes. Errant sunbeams pierce through the crudely closed blinds, clouding the girl's already fuzzy vision. The detective groans and shuts her eyes, she shifts and tries to flip over to get away from the warm rays. Her movements disturb the beds other occupants, her mommy in particular isn't too happy with the early morning moving.
Sam's hand lands firmly on her little one's bottom. She tries to pat her back to sleep, a movement they have all gotten used to and works nine out of ten times.
After the seconds firm pat, Sam's hand freezes in mid air and Maggie lays stock still along with it. Sam's mind catches up with her senses. Her hand was slightly sticky, to confirm her suspicions, she placed her palm on the girl's bottom again. Much to Maggie's silent pleas not to be checked, but her whining goes ignored.
Like Sam thought, Maggie was wet. Around the Latina is shredded clothes and a shrugged off diaper.
"Lex!" Sam whispers.
All the redhead does is grunt. It's barely nine and Alex was hoping for at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep this week.
Sam takes the now fully grown Maggie into her arms and hugs her close. She tries to pour calm into the brief cuddle to reiterate to her little girl that it's ok that it's a bit wet and that she did nothing wrong.
"Alex." Sam still gets no response. The brunette rolls her eyes and gently floats out of bed with Maggie still in her arms.
"Alexandra, get your ass up and clean the bed please. 'M takin' Mags to shower." She says harshly and loud enough to frighten her redheaded partner. Maggie laughs in the taller woman's arms as Alex rolls out of bed and hits the floor with a thud.
The little (not so little anymore) clings to her Mommy's shirt while she floats them into the bathroom. Her body shivers under the aerated bathroom. Sam switches on the lights and dims it to the lowest setting, giving her girl the time to slowly get used to her surroundings after waking up not long ago.
Sam muses in her head while she prepares the bath that the accident must have happened while Maggie was still in her toddler body. The sheets weren't soaked and the diaper looked well used. The taller brunette accesses herself as she puts the girl on the clothed toilet seat. Well at least I'm dry.
She strips herself and turns on the shower head and quickly rinses them both. They are out in a flash and she deposits both of their bodies in the heat visioned warmed bath water.
Maggie doesn't notice until she raises her yellow toy duck out of the water that she is in her bigger body. Her brows furrowed in confusion. She is happy about being back to normal, she can't seem to snap her mind back along with her body and it's frightening her.
The little looks up at her Mommy with wide confused eyes, they are glossy like they are on the verge of tears. But she doesn't exactly know why she would be crying.
"Mo-mommy?" It's hushed, gravely and light with sleep.
Sam stops soaping up her baby's body. She adjusted her to be sitting snugly between her legs and gently caressed the girl's tummy.
"It's alright bunny, be as little or as big as you need. You've been through a lot of stress these past few weeks." Sam gently kisses the top of Maggie's damp head, her baby sighs and snuggles her back against her mommy's chest. "It's ok to need this. It's ok to need us."
The tears slip, but it's not a sad waterfall of emotions. It's just a tamed storm without the shocks of the lightning and pouding of the thunder. Maggie closes her eyes and releases all the tension from her body after each soapy stroke of the washcloth.
After a while, the little detective gets bored with her ducks. Sam doesn't notice the tot playing with her fingers and then redirects to her mouth.
Maggie goes to suck but her taste buds are met with the bitter-sweet taste of the bubble bath soaps and it makes her want to gag. It takes everything in Sam not to burst out into giggles. Tiny waves rock them back and forth due to Sam trying to hold her laughter in. Maggie is not amused.
Her Mommy's laughter makes her pout for the rest of the wash.
When the two are washed off with the shower head, they are met with warm towels and clothes that were freshly pulled out of the dryer. The yellow fluffy towel fits snugly onto Maggie's frame, covering her head and casting a shadow over her eyes. It makes her feel small, like when she was physically regressed, she knows she will miss that part of the Blue Sparkles case.
Sam dresses herself using her super speed and has Maggie sit on the toilet lid while she loitions her bare body.
"Uppidy bun, Mama gave you some choices to make." The little hops up from the seat and makes her way to the counter to pick out the two choices of outfits.
One choice being jeans and a soft long sleeved shirt with a sports bra and regular underwear. The other choice is just a long sleeve shirt with a unicorn on it, it's large enough to go half way down her thighs. Next to that is a pair of pink underwear she only wears when she's little and a pair of pull ups.
The detective eyes the pull-up and bites her chapped lips in thought.
Sam sees this and goes into their draws to find lip balm and applies it to her baby's lips.
"You don't have to wear them. If you have an accident it will get cleaned. You can just wear the panties bunny."
Maggie doesn't say anything so that signals to Sam that maybe doing a pull-up right now isn't the best move. The taller Kryptonian goes to pick up underwear but Maggie snatches up the pull-up and hands it to her Mommy quickly.
Sam smiles in surprise, "Ya' sure Mags?"
Maggie nods and shoves her now desoaped thumb into her mouth.
Without another word, Sam dresses her baby in the clothes that were picked and helps her brush her teeth and hair. She takes out the braids that were left in and leaves out a fluffy set of waves for the day to give her scalp a breather. The taller brunette throws the dirty clothes into the hamper and folds the unused clothes and takes her baby's hand to walk out of the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Alex shucks the last decorative pillow onto the newly made bed. Maggie smiles at her with her thumb still in her mouth and finger hooked over her nose when the redhead notices their presence.
"Mama!" Alex almost toppled when she was met with her littles weight. She easily adjusts and picks Maggie up and twirls her around until she can feel dizziness set in while she tickles her sides.
Alex seats them both on the bed and her right hand settles on the littles bum. She can feel the slightly puffy material and the wrinkling of the fabric, it makes her smile. Happy that her baby was comfortable enough in her adult body to try this out. It was easier to do when she was physically little, she could make excuses for that but now she doesn't really have one. But she is coming to realize she doesn't need an excuse at all, this can all just, be.
"Well hello," Alex kisses each cheek, "You're my baby girl today huh?" She finishes with a smile.
Her words make her flush a bit. It's not often Sam and Alex use that particular nickname. It's saved for special times, and her littlest moments. It makes her feel so giddy inside each time they use it. It makes her want to just snuggle so far deep into both their arms and never come back out. Like she's surrounded by never ending clouds and warm sunshine.
Maggie's thumb was dislodged during the twirling so she promptly shoves it back in her mouth instead of answering the (rhetorical) question.
Sam laughs while she puts the extra clothes away. "Oh so she's shy today too?" Sam picks up a paci from her teething drawer and hands it to Alex. She plants a kiss on each of their lips and goes to the kitchen to get started on breakfast.
Alex coaxes the paci into the littles mouth and has her choose blanky or Fluffy. Today the brunette goes with her special blanket. Alex walks out with Maggie still in her arms.
.....
"Hey Kara, you're up early." Alex says.
Kara is pouring herself a glass of water and filling a sippy cup with half water and half apple juice in a sippy cup for what seems like to be for Lena.
"Yeah, Lee couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and gave her something to colour."
Alex gave her a quick raise of the eyebrow in silent question. "Nightmare?"
Kara shakes her head no, "No not that, just seems like she's slept enough."
Alex nods her head and puts Maggie down on the floor to sit next to her best friend. She grabs up some crayons and scribbles on a paper Lena shifted her way.
All three Mommy's were afraid that the girls would be shy and revert back into their old selves but they were happily mistaken.
"Lex, you want me to pour you out some juice for Mags?" Alex rubs the sleep from her eyes and goes to sit on the island bench and yawns, she shakes her head in affirmative.
"You know, I thought that it would take longer for the antidote to take effect. I was not expecting to wake up to a full gown Lena."
Kara reaches for a sippy cup, "Can you put it in a bottle, she seems smaller today." The agent and super look over to the two girls. Maggie is scribbling nonsense on the paper with a muddle of colours while Lena strategically draws what seems to be a purple cow.
Kara smiles and looks back from over her shoulder and picks up a glass bottle.
"I actually thought it would take a couple days. Sam scared me half to death, made me fall on my ass. It still hurts."
Kara laughs and pours the correct amount of juice and water into the bottle. She shakes up both mixes and sets them down and slides them both across the counter so it is more in Alex's reach.
"Yeah I heard, it was funny listening to you grumble."
Alex rolls her eyes. She grabs teh bottle from the counter. She takes them to the girls and they both sit up immediately.
Maggie spits out her paci, and makes grabby hands to the drink. Alex hands Maggie her and she mumbles a thank you while sucking at the teet.
"Thanks Lexi." Lena goes on her stomach and continues on to colour while taking a sip here and there.
"Lay down on this pillow bug, I don't want you hurting your neck."
Maggies does just that without dislodging the drink from her lips. Her thighs open up swinging like butterfly wings. Her blanky rests just over her stomach. She turns her head just enough to be able to watch as Lena continues to colour, Doc Mcstuffins plays in the background.
The girl's pull up is on full display without her caring in the slightest. Her openness expands all of their hearts.
Sam finishes preparing the simple breakfast, oatmeal with fruit on top for the humans and lots of carb filled croissants and pastries for the two starving Kryptonians.
If Lena wasn't present, Sam would have applied a bit of almond butter to the top of them. Maggie loves that stuff, way more than regular peanut butter. But, Lena has developed an allergy to nuts and it frustrates the CEO, along with all the rest of them.
When they found out, it had been about four months since she had peanut butter. She was battling a very restrictive unsustainable diet and once she recovered she was finally allowing herself her favourite treat. Peanut butter and banana sandwich. They all sat at the restaurant and Lena was half way through one slice when her tongue started tingling. She thought it was her mind playing tricks on her, trying to make her not eat it. Kara heard her heart beat fast and then she ended up x-raying her throat and Kara found her throat swelling up slightly.
They all thought she was being poisoned but with a quick trip to the DEO it was established that she had developed a severe allergy to nuts.
It took two more trips to the hospital for the CEO to believe she was actually allergic to it so now Kara has to keep all nut products out of the house. At the throuples residents, they have to keep it hidden away. Every now and then Lena snatches a butterfingers bar or a handful of pistachios that leads her to break out into hives and almost suffocate, she says it's worth it. It always leaves Kara disappointed. Recently Lena has kept herself away from the nut products because she realized she is really scaring Kara, and she doesn't want to intentionally hurt her girlfriend like that ever again.
Sam drizzles honey all over the bowls to add some sweetness and a sprinkle of brown sugar. The brown sugar is more for the look than anything else really.
Breakfast is eaten with miscellaneous chatter around the dining table. Maggie is seated in her Mommy's lap, happily munching on a few bites her Mommy shoves in her mouth and fruit from on top she picks with her own fingers.
Nearing the end of their dining, Alex's phone rings and she goes into the open living room to answer it.
"I really hope we don't have to go into work today, I don't wanna be Supergirl more than I need to." Sam nods her head.
"I would trade places with you for a bit but they don't trust me enough yet."
Kara gives her a sad smile, "They will trust you soon, I'll make sure of it. It took them a while after Red K for me, you'll get there."
Sam sips at her orange juice, "I hope so. I'm this close to giving up if I see another little girl close to tears when I come and try to save her family from a freaking burning building. Looked like they rather take their chances with the fire."
Sam isn't bitter, just a bit annoyed. She gets it, she was evil and all. If she were people, she would be weary too. It doesn't mean that Sam can't be annoyed and sad that people are this afraid of her. Reign really fucked things over.
Lena takes her last bite and Sam feeds Maggie hers. Kara quickly gets the pack of wipes from the counter and hands two sheets over to Sam.
Alex comes back smiling, "J'onn of course said take all the time we need. He will try an handle Supergirl duties but makes no promises. He will try and keep us home but Agent Red and Supergirl may get called."
Kara finishes wiping Lena's hands, "Fair enough."
Breakfast gets cleaned up and Lena has a bath along with Kara. Kara has a few things that she needs to get down and some stuff she needs to pick up at the office and it would be easier to go home and do things from there.
"You gonna stay blondey?" Sam says while cleaning up the kitchen.
Kara opens her mouth to say it would be better to leave for a bit but she is cut off, "Wanna stay Mama."
Kara looks at Lena pouting. I'll work it out. "Guess we'll stay then."
