SURPRISE
Eliza was in town, and the superfamily decided to have dinner at Kara's apartment. Kelly and Eliza were cooking the dinner. Eliza in a short time had grown to love Kelly just like Alex. She was good for her. Kelly was a loving, caring, and smart woman. Plus she was very beautiful inside and out. Alex and Kara were setting the table, when someone knocked on the door. Kara went and opened the door. Brainy and J'onn had arrived. They took turns hugging everyone. "What smells so good?" J'onn asked.
"I made my roast and Kelly made her peaches and biscuits," Eliza exclaimed. "It won't be much longer and we can eat".
Another knock on the door and Nia showed up. The only person missing now was Lena. J'onn opened the wine, while Nia and Kara were talking about something that happened at Catco. Brainy was watching Kelly and Eliza put the finishing touches on the food. "That is quite a big roast Mrs.Danvers. Are you expecting any more people?" Brainy asked.
"Oh no. It was the only one left in the store. Eliza said. And its one of Kara's favorite dishes, so I figured we just will have leftovers for tomorrow."
They were finishing putting the food on the table when once again someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it. Alex exclaimed." She went to the door and opened it. In came Lena. Alex hugged her. Without Kelly noticing, Alex asked Lena a question. "Did you get the package?"
"Yes, the package will be arriving in about ten minutes." Alex got the biggest smile on her face. She hoped this surprise would go off without a hitch.
Alex made sure that Kelly sat the closest to the door. She wanted her to open the door when the surprise arrived. And just like Lena had said, ten minutes and there was a knock on the door. And just like Alex hoped Kelly got up. went to the door and opened it. To her surprise, her mother Vanessa, and her brother James were standing in the doorway.
"Mom? James? What are you two doing here?"
"Is that any way to welcome your mother young lady? Vanessa said with a smile on her face. She outstretched her arms to get a hug from Kelly. After Kelly hugged her and then James, she once again asked.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Well, I think you should ask your fiancee that. Vanessa said.
"What fiancee? What are you talking about mom?
All Vanessa did was point ahead of her and made a finger motion for Kelly to turn around. When she turned around she saw Alex on one knee with a box in her outstretched hand, and the others holding up a sign. In big letters the sign said. WILL YOU MARRY ME?
