Prologue
"I do." It was the single greatest day in Lena and Kara's lives. They had been waiting a year for this moment, and it was so worth the wait. Their kiss only lasted a few seconds before little Ruby, their flower girl, wriggled out of her mother's arms and wrapped her little arms around her aunts' legs.
"Ruby, go back with Mommy for now, okay? I'll hold you later." Kara whispered in the little girl's ear. Ruby stuck out her bottom lip in a pout, but was scooped up by her mother and escorted back to her spot.
"Where were we?" Kara asked, placing her hands on Lena's waist.
"Don't make me regret marrying you." Lena teased, rolling her eyes playfully.
"Already? We haven't even been married for five minutes." Kara pouted.
"Just kiss already!" Alex groaned. Kara giggled as she pressed her lips to Lena's. The world around them faded as they held each other as close as they could.

A year later, Kara sat in Cat Grant's office, completely confused as the older woman paced around and babbled on and on about responsibilities.
"I can't do your job! You're Cat Grant, Queen of all Media!" Kara interrupted.
"Yes, Kara you can. You know every single thing about my job. Your resume says had your masters in business at twenty-three?" Cat asked.
"Yes, I skipped a grade, then graduated early. I started college at sixteen." Kara answered.
"And you got your masters in journalism, as well? Two years?" Cat handed Kara her new, updated resume.
"You wrote me a new resume?" Kara asked.
"Yes. now, this information is all true. You are married, pregnant, thirty, and have masters degrees in two completely separate subjects. You're incredibly smart, amazing at any job I give you, and you've seen all the magic up close. Give me three reasons you shouldn't run Catco." Cat crossed her arms as she watched Kara search for an answer.
"One, it'll look bad if I take over for three months, then go on maternity leave. Two, you taught me to start with one thing, then gradually add the others. Running Catco isn't going to be gradual, it's going to be stressful and crazy. Three, stress is bad for the baby." Kara listed.
"I'm glad you won't be doing it alone. Mrs. Danvers-Luthor the older, come in, please." Cat called.
"Lena?" Kara asked as her wife entered the room, a smile on her face.
"No, your sister. Yes, it's me." Lena teased as she took her seat next to Kara, placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Your wife has appointed her friend to CEO, and she is now only the owner of L-Corp." Cat explained.
"I'll spend three days a week with you, then two with Leonard," Lena explained excitedly.
"Blah. Screw him. I hate Leonard. You sure you don't just want to get rid of Jack Spheer the second?" Kara teased, scrunching up her nose because she knew Lena thought it was adorable.
"Oh, be quiet. Yes, I'm sure." Lena giggled, placing a quick kiss on her wife's nose.
"Okay, you're disgustingly cute, we get it. Kara, what do you say?" Cat asked, finally stopping in one place, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Yes," Kara replied.

"Hey, Lori, Mom's got a meeting tonight. It's just the four of us." Lena told her middle daughter, her tone gentle. The little girl's full name was Lorelai Elizabeth Danvers-Luthor after her grandmothers. She had long, blonde hair and blue eyes. The little girl squealed and clapped. She loved when she was the center of attention.
"No Lexa and Kay-Kay?" The eight-year-old girl asked hopefully. Lena sighed and shook her head.
"Lexa and Kay-Kay live here, sweetheart." Lena tried not to let her laughter slip into her voice.
"Okay. Can we call Auntie Lex, Aunt Maggie, and Lyla?" Lori asked. Lyla was their only cousin. Alex and Maggie had decided one was enough work. Lena nodded as their youngest daughter came running into the room, dragging Kara behind her.
"Mama, Mama, I went to school!" Kayla Rose Danvers-Luthor squealed as Lena picked up the toddler and covered her face in kisses. The brunette toddler kicked her feet and squeezed her little blue eyes shut. Lena laughed and set her down, fixing her little ponytail as she decided to run off to see her other sister.
"I know! Did Mom give you sugar?" Lena asked, eyeing her wife suspiciously. Kara shrugged as she kissed Lena, a mischevious smirk on her lips. Lena let out a jokingly exaggerated sigh as she set her daughter down.
"Where's Lexa?" Kara asked.
"She stole a science book again." Lena smiled proudly. Kara kissed Lena again, this time slowly, holding her close for a bit longer.
"She's just like her mother." Kara smiled.
"Yeah, well, be grateful that I hid the anatomy book again," Lena replied.
"I am so not ready for that talk." Kara groaned. Their oldest daughter, Alexandra Alura Danvers-Luthor (Lexa for short), was the closest thing to a mini Lena possible. From their bright green eyes to their amazement with science, the two were almost exactly alike. It was no surprise since she was the only one of their daughters that Lena had carried.
"Our kids are exhausting." Lena sighed, pretending to collapse on the couch.
"Yeah, sometimes. The oldest one, though, we did well with." Kara teased. She sat down on the couch and Lena rested her head on the blonde's lap.
"She did well all by herself. Our genius kid." Lena sighed. Kara giggled and kissed Lena's cheek.
"I should go." She sighed. Lena groaned but lifted her head to allow her wife to stand up.
"I'll see you tonight." Kara kissed Lena's lips gently before pulling away, but Lena pulled her back in for a longer kiss, wrapping her arms around Kara's neck.
"Tonight." Lena nodded.
Kara didn't come home that night. Or that week. Or even that month.
