Chapter 22
One year Later...
"How's your day, baby?" The way Alex Danvers call her with a pet name, is beyond just cute, and Lena swear to her self she would keep this woman for the rest of her life, and she don't wanna lose Alex, ever again.
Alex didn't even move when Lena crawls across the bed to settle her self into Alex's chest, she just lifts her arms allowing Lena to settle on her and wraps her arms around the green-eyes woman.
Alex moved a little to kiss the top of her head and hug her even tighter, Lena could hear her heartbeat, so close and it calm her down, she's absolutely in peace. The best of place she ever have for the rest of her life.
Alex continues to scroll through her phone, email after email, make sure she didn’t miss any important thing, while Lena listens to the heartbeat beneath her, the steady drum soothing and relaxing every muscle in her body, closing her eyes even though she didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Alex and Lena spent most of the day working around the house on separated projects.
Lena still working on her biggest project to cure Cancer, and Alex working on new protocol at DEO, they still working hard to fill the absence of Supergirl.
Alex still misses her sister so much, without being able to ask anything from Kara. She have Lena by her side right now, but it will never be the same without Kara. But she knows Kara would be back someday and she'll just wait for the moment to come. Alex telling everything to Kara, through the message from earth to Argo, the changes that happen between her and Lena, the good and also the bad things. At first, Kara is very surprised, but at the end that’s become the best new she ever had, knowing that her sister and her best friend now taking care of each other.
“Working on computer for hours, my back is getting sore,” Lena answers, eyes still closed.
“Poor baby, c’mere.” Alex put her phone down to the bed, turning Lena’s body so now Alex facing her back, giving a little massage to the woman she love the most.
“Hmm.. feels so good, babe”
“Tell me where it hurts.” Hands still massaging,
Lips on her lover’s neck, hairs, finally on her cheek, put a light kiss on it.
“God, you smell so good.”
“More than your Lena Luthor on earth-1?” Lena turn around to face Alex, on eyebrow reaised.
“Hmm.. yes..”
Then Lena lifted herself with the help of the hold she had on Alex’s shirt.
“Did she kiss you like this?” Lena give her a proper kiss, so quickly that Alex can’t help but lean forward for more kisses, but Lena’s lips were already out her reach.
“Or maybe.” Lena continued, “Like this?” Now the kiss is getting feral, Alex can feel her heartbeat accelerating.
Alex try to be serious because she have a really important thing to tell Lena, but the way the younger girl is gripping onto her made it difficult.
“Baby..” Alex gasped once she trying to pull her mouth away from Lena. But the younger woman looked at Alex right to her eyes and she bite her lips. Alex groaned watching her. “Don’t do that..”
“You don’t have to try to be sexy because you already is.. And i wanna be with you, not her, and now i’m home..”
“But you date her for months. It feels weird, you dated my twins . I haven't ask you the details.”
“I told you that i’ll tell you everything. You just need to ask.”
“Everyhing, Lee..” Alex repeat.
“So, what makes you comeback? She’s better than me, she didn’t cheat on you. You two have a good start, it sounds perfect.” Lena asked even though she honestly afraid of the answer.
“That’s a long story.”
“Is it a dirty one?,” she asks, raised her eyebrow.
Lena swears the way Alex grins make her a little upset.
“I really sure that you don’t wanna hear the dirty part”
Lena pretended to push her away but Alex Danvers is much stronger than her, she already hugging her lover tightly and don’t want to let her go.
“I don’t wanna fight, okay? Because tomorrow is Saturday, and we have an important dinner to arrange.”
“What dinner? I’m tired, can we just take a delivery? I wanna spending the time to on you—“
“I’m afraid not.” Alex now on her top, looking at the green eyes she miss everyday when she was on another world, with right hand playing with that hair, she’s done trying everything to forget her feeling to this women, but she just can’t.
“What do you mean? Do you have a plan?”
“Hmm..” Alex nodded.
"Ohh.. making plan without asking me, Director?," Lena raise an eyebrow, encircling her arms around Alex's neck.
"Because i'm not sure you want it, but i need to do it."
"So, what it is? Am I going to have a heart attack?"
"I'm want to make you my wife," Alex says, she almost shouts it, at least that's how it feels, all real and deep when it come out. She wants to ask Lena to marry her since the first time she coming back to this earth and seeing Lena wearing the ring she gave. But its like the words are burning in her throat every time she wants to say it, part of it is fear of rejection.
And it shakes the space between them, Alex's whole body are trembling and Lena gasp in shock.
"I have it for a while," she adds, quieter. "After everything happen, i am not really sure that i deserve you, and--"
"Alex..."
"No, Lee, let me finish."
"I left you here so you have the chance to find someone new, or coming back to the people from your past. I left because I don't want to burden you or making it hard for you," Alex says, and Lena can see the pain in the Director's eyes when she say it.
"And i dated someone's else, but i can't love her the way i love you, so i come back again and trying to pursue my luck on you."
"Alex, are you sure?," Lena gasps.
"I love you, Lee.. I never wanted anything else this much."
"But i cheated on you.."
Alex shakes her head. "No, that's my fault. I'm not taking a good care of you."
And with that, tears feel down Lena's face. strangely, she wasn't crying but tears were falling down.
"So, Lee.. would you marry me?," Alex questioned once more.
"Because when you say yes, you have to deal with me forever, i'm normal, middle-class working woman, who can only force two holidays in a year, to normal destination, with our kids. It would not be fancy, but I promise it would be fun. You and our kids will never feel unloved and unwanted, and I'll let them sleep with their teddy bears until they get bored, and I'll take care of you from morning till night and won't let anyone hurt you even though I'm not as strong as Supergirl."
"I'm going to eat kale with you for the rest of my life, and you're going to eat fast food with me, a lot without having to be afraid of getting fat because I'll still love you for who you are. And--"
Lena cuts it with a kiss, she kissing Alex senseless, exploring the warm depths of her mouth, until both of them run out of breath, and Alex pull off, before she start to strips off the rest of Lena's clothes.
"So i take it as a yes." Alex grins.
"Yes i want to, having kids with you.." Lena hisses.
"And you'll take us to holiday in a van?"
Alex smiles. "Twice a year."
"Or a short escape for every weekend." she added.
"I like beach."
"I'll take you to Midvale then."
"I never go to Disneyland."
"I'll take you there."
"Our kids would probably have a hard time in school because their mother is a Luthor."
"And the other mother is Director of the DEO, and their aunty is Supergirl, their grandfather is the last Martian, who wants to mess up with my kids?."
And Lena felt a storm strike her heart, a storm of a warm affection, full of miracles, never in her life did she feel complete, and so perfect.
"So, you would marry me tomorrow?." Lena asks, still can't believe what just happened.
"Of course not." Alex laughed.
Alex slams her back into that soft bed, eyes staring into the ceiling.
"So, what happen tomorrow, Alex?,"
"We going to have dinner with your mother."
"My-- my mother? "
"Yes.."
"Lilian?,"
"Yes, with my Mom, she's on morning flight tomorrow."
"But how can--you? Lilian is in jail.."
Alex looked at Lena in the eyes, deeply. She knew this woman was starting to worry, and panicked, whenever she heard the Luthor's name, so she rubs her thumb on Lena's cheeks, to calm her lover down.
"Lee.. i risk my life everyday to protect the world. Of course I could pursue one dinner with my lover's mother. I want to marry you, and i wanna do it right."
Another surprise hits Lena, this time she was thinking if she really deserved Alex Danvers.
"But Lilian---"
"ssttt.. i talked to her. Long before today. I told her i love you and i wanna marry you, i kinda ask for her permission because your father is gone and she's your only parent."
"I know it's weird, But I can feel she's happy for us, for you.. "
"Alex, you don't have to do that." Lena gasp.
"I would. I want to. Because you're special to me and you deserve all of it."
"Alex.. i love you.."
"I love you ten thousand more."
"I hope this is not a dream, or VR stimulation, because if it's. I don't wanna wake up."
"Of course is real. Or you want me to make you feel real?," Alex giving her a naughty smile, eyes on her lover's cleavage.
