kale
Lena paced around the kitchen, a large bowl tucked between her inner forearm and her chest, with her other hand wrapped around a whisk, desperately beating at the contents in the bowl. She only had an hour until Kara was supposed to return home. Over the past few weeks she had been trying to come up with a healthy recipe that Kara would agree to eat. Now that Kara was pregnant, she was more worried than ever, as she was carrying a half human baby. One of the recipes on her list was quiche. Kara liked scrambled eggs and cheese omelettes. The only thing that was different, was that these were in the shape of mini muffins, and they had diced tomato (Kara liked ketchup) and spinach. Once the egg mixture was combined, she portioned it out into the 24 mini cupcake pans. After that, she put a small pinch of the diced tomatoes in each, that easily sunk into the mixture, and then sprinkled chopped kale on top of each as well. Using a form, she lightly covered each kale topping with egg so it didn’t shrivel up in the oven. Smiling at her creation, she carefully took the pan and placed it into the oven. She set her fifteen minute timer, and then began to clean up her kitchen mess. She had a couple extra minutes, so she leaned against the counter top and answered three emails before her timer rang. She pulled on the oven mitts from the second drawer next to the fridge and pulled open the oven. Being as careful as she could, she grabbed hold of the pan and pulled it out, before she set it onto the oven stovetop. After a couple minutes she pulled each one out and set a couple onto a small plate, before pulling the rest into an airtight container and putting them away in the fridge.
About 45 minutes later, a very large Kara waddled through the door. She had put her supergirl duties to a minimum when they first found out she was pregnant, however stopped all duties once she was out of the first trimester and they told everyone. J'onn, Alex, Eliza, and Lena all didn’t want Kara to be in risk everyday, and therefore they all made sure she wasn’t doing it anymore. However, Kara refused to stop all of her work, and wouldn't settle for anything less than working at CatCo until she absolutely couldn’t, meaning they worked out a deal with Cat, so Kara would work up until a couple weeks from her due date. Lena had successfully hidden the quiche, and had come up with a plan in order to get Kara to try it. Lena greeted her wife at the door with a big smile, and a kiss on the cheek, along with a light stroke on her bigger belly, almost as if it was a quick greeting to the baby as well. They exchanged small talk, Kara telling Lena about her day, with a couple “ooo, what happened next?” or a “ i can’t believe he did that. What did you do next?. Once Kara had settled down, and Lena had helped her take off her shoes and coat, Lena led her over to the kitchen, explaining that she had a surprise for her. She tied one of her scarves over Kara’s eyes, being careful not to pull on her hair.
“What is it?” Kara had asked, squirming in her seat, “is it a sexy surprise?” she giggled, now growing excited with a big smile.
“Not quite.. I made cupcakes! I want you to try them!” Lena told her as she picked up one of the quiche and brought it over. “Open up, alright? You’re gonna take a small bite and let me know what you think..”
Kara’s mouth opened immediately, awaiting what she assumed would be a gooey, chocolatey food ‘orgasm’ to come. When she felt something very briefly touch her lip, she bit down, and as her face curled up in confusion, she started to gag and immediately spit out the chewed up egg and kale. “What the fuck?? What kind of nonsense is this bullshit?” Kara screamed out, and reached up to pull away the scarf covering her eyes. She blinked and quickly adjusted to the light before glaring at her wife, clearly angry, as even with her pregnancy hormones, she had rarely sworn outside of the bedroom. Lena stood beside her, biting her lip nervously with the half bitten quiche in one of her hands.
“Kara?..” Lena asked in a whisper voice, she had never seen her wife like this before.
“Fuck. Off!” Kara screamed and stood up, waddling as fast as she could to the bedroom, slamming the door very loudly. Lena stood there in shock. After a couple of minutes, Lena walked over to the bedroom and tried to open it, and gasped when it was locked.
She knocked on the door, and got no response, “Kara? C-can you open the door, please? I-i’m worried about you..”
“Go away, Lena. I don’t want to see you tonight! Go sleep on the couch!” Kara yelled, obviously angry and in tears.
Lena sighed, “Kara, please let me in.. I just want to talk. Please!”
“Go away, Lena!” Kara growled, and threw a shoe at the door from her lying position on the bed. Lena flopped down on the rouch and sat against the bedroom door, silent tears running down both of their faces.
