Chapter Four
It has been two weeks since Alex, met her wife at the hospital, two weeks since she started to remember about that night in Las Vegas, two weeks of spending more time in hospital "on her research", two weeks of hiding something very important from her fiance, one year-one week since she's been in National City and a week since Lena, arrived in town.
"So I haven't seen or talk to her since that Wednesday and I haven't told Maggie yet, I don't know what or how to tell her. But, I don't want a divorce Lee." Alex, said pacing in Lena's living room in her new apartment. They have been talking about this situation Alex, finds herself in, since she had picked her best friend at the airport.
"I have a plan." Lena, said excited. Alex, looked at her suspiciously.
"Yeah? let's here it." She said.
"Suzzy, is flying to Midvale on Friday, correct?"
"Yes" Alex, confirmed, confused.
"I assume she and Maggie are your emergency contacts?" Lena, asked again.
"You and Vas, are actually. Apparently Kara, too. What is your plan? Alex, asked impatiently.
"Good, you don't know how to tell Maggie, right?"
"Already established that too." Alex, said sarcastically.
"We're gonna need to bring your acting skills to life for this plan. You have friends on your hospital right?"
Alex, looked at her friend and said nothing.
Lena, continued, "so, we need to get you a bed in an emergency room and have the hospital call Susan obviously her phone will send them on voice mail she will be on the flight, I will purposely not answer mine, so they will call your wife. I will be nearby when she arrives that's if she cares of cause. I will be calling Maggie, then she will run here because I know she cares then boom they will meet in the waiting room, hopefully introductions like Mrs. and future Mrs. Danvers will be made and then you will be left with the simplest job of explaining what the heck's going on, you won't need to start from the beginning at least.." Lena, finished bitting her lower lip.
Alex, looked at her friend, "it's so sad to watch the smartest become the dumbest." She said sitting on the couch. Lena, laughed, "I'm sure your colleagues would appreciate a little drama, it's too serious in that place."
Alex, glared at her friend.
"Ok ok, Lena, said sitting next to Alex, putting her arm around her shoulder and pulling her so Alex's head rest on Lena's shoulder. "Breaking engagement is easier than divorce process. You might not have said it or even admitted it to yourself yet, but your heart knows who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Don't follow your head this time Danvers it will not be fair to anyone because your heart will always belong to that one person. I like Maggie, a lot but what is going on between you and this Kara woman, I think it's fate. My opinion doesn't matter in this, but I just want you to be happy. No matter what you decide, I will support you. I want you to do one thing for me though." Lena said, seriously.
"What is that? Alex, asked
"When you leave here go talk to Maggie, about this, tell her what is going on. She is smart she's gonna figure it out soon. Will you do that for me?" Lena, asked.
"Yeah, I think I will, thanks Lee." Alex, said kissing her friend's covered shoulder.
**********************************
"I don't think we should continue with the wedding." Alex, blurted out standing next to the kitchen counter. She had been fidgeting the past 30 minutes, nervous not sure how to open this conversation. She winced at her own words, holding her breath waiting for Maggie to say something.
"What? Why? Did I do something wrong?" Maggie, asked she was not expecting this, she thought they were happy, she was happy, she thought Alex, was too.
"No no Maggs, no you did nothing wrong, you're amazing. Alex, instinctively moved towards Maggie, taking her hand to hers and looked her in the eyes, You are so beautiful and smart, nothing is wrong with you." Alex, said holding eye contact with Maggie, for a moment before she let go and take step back.
"Why?" Maggie, asked quietly.
"I'm married, I've been married for three years, but I..."
"What!? What fuck Alex!?" Maggie, paled and jumped back opening a noticeable distance between her and the other girl. She took off the ring on her finger, "you should go to your wife." Maggie, said throwing the ring to Alex, and run to upstairs.
"Maggie, wait! Listen it's not what you think let me explain!" Alex, said following the other girl.
"I don't want to here it! Go away your fucking cheater..." Maggie, shouted angrily.
Alex, froze mid steps, she's not perfect but a cheater? She's not! She understand Maggie's reaction, but being called a cheater, she felt insulated. Alex, turned around and grabbed her laptop backpack and car keys and run out the door....
