Lena's luck
Lena helped Kara up to her office and as soon as they stepped into her office Kara was shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. Lena held Kara close to her chest as she managed to slide the both of them down to the floor. Lena wanted to go find the guy that made Kara cry and punch him in the face.
"I-I-I" Kara tired saying, but Lena didn't allow her to finish the statement.
"Don't you dare apologize." Lena told her, another sob escaped Kara's lip and Lena's heart broke a little. "Sweetheart I need you to breath and talk to me please. Can you do that for me?" Lena asked in a soft voice. Lena released the symptoms Kara was showing were similar to the one's she use to have when having a panic attack. Lena hoped that what she was about to do help Kara, Lena knew it would help her when she use to get them. Lena pulled Kara closer and held her tight as she whispered kind words to the blonde. Lena took a deep breath when she felt Kara's hand on her back under her shirt, but it made sense Lena knew that sometimes skin on skin contact helped.
"Thanks." Kara mumbled but kept her head resting on Lena's chest the sound of the woman's heartbeat was helping her relax.
"Honey can you talk about it with me?" Lena gently took Kara's chin and pulled it softly up to meet her eyes. Lena could see the panic in Kara's eyes. "Only if you want to." Lena added.
"I'm scared," Kara said. "I never thought I would see him again."
"So you're scared that you saw you ex, that happens to be the father of a child you didn't have?" Lena was trying to be careful with her words, she knew that this was a delicate conversation and she considered herself lucky that Kara had enough trust to cry in front of her. Lena knew that crying wasn't a sign of weakness, not to her that was just a sign that the girl had been strong for too long. Kara shook her head no and looked back down. "Sweetheart can you talk to me please that will make you feel better occhi blu."
"It's a long story." Kara didn't want to bug Lena with her life. Lena was a busy woman and Kara had already taken up too much of the CEO's time. "I don't want to be an inconvenience." This time Lena pulled Kara's head up again.
"You are not an inconvenience, I want to help you." Lena said. Kara thought about what the CEO told her for a moment and finally nodded. Lena's arm felt safe and right not Kara wanted to stay in them for a while, at least until she felt safe again.
"Alright," Kara let out a deep sigh, no one knew the full story of what happened between her and Adam but it was time she got it off her chest. "I started dating Adam when we were freshman in high school, he was my first love. We dated for a year until I decided I was ready to be with him fully. Adam was a gentleman always patient and never pressured me into anything I didn't want to do. So the first time we slept together I gave him my everything, not just my body, but my heart, mind, and soul." Kara explained remembering the night and suddenly the roof had become very fascinating.
"Uh-huh." Lena said letting Kara know that she still had her full attention.
"A few weeks later after that night I noticed that I had gained a little weight and that I was craving a lot of things, so I went to buy pregnancy test and when I took it it came back positive, I was so terrified, but since the moment I thought of the possibility of being pregnant I knew that I was going to keep my baby." Kara explained. "I had already lost my parents and that baby was not gonna be another lost."
"Kara if it's too much you can stop." Lena couldn't bare to see the pain Kara was in. Kara shook her head no and continued.
"I found Adam a few days later and told him that I was pregnant and he accused me of wanting money from his mother. I didn't even know who his mother was if I did I would have probably stayed away from him. That day after school he drove me to the abortion clinic and left. I couldn't do it so I left and called my doctor for an appointment and she agreed to keep it a secret from my foster mother, Eliza, until I was ready to tell her. I went back to school a few days later and Adam asked if I had taken care of it and all I said was that what had to be done was done. He left school a week later to move with his father. I did everything possible to graduate early. When I was five months pregnant, something felt wrong and I was bleeding, so I went into the ER and the doctor said that I was in risk for losing my babies and so I decided to let them induce my pregnancy. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and boy, that I love with every fiber of my being."
"Occhi blu, you are very strong for what you did." Lena assured her. "What has you so scared?" Lena had an idea but wanted to be sure of what she thought first. Lena hadn't heard from Kara of anyone that stayed to help her while pregnant. Was she alone all her pregnancy? Lena thought, but didn't dare to ask.
"That if Adam finds out that I didn't abort and had the babies he will try to take them away. Lena he can I'm not the most money stable person, literally what I make barely keeps me going." Kara didn't understand why it was so easy to open up to Lena. The woman hadn't let go of her this whole time and Kara was grateful for having her as a friend.
"I will not let that happen I promise." Lena told the blonde girl. After a while Kara got up and helped Lena up. The blonde missed the woman's touch, she missed the safety she felt in her arms. "Kara I noticed this whole time you never mentioned anyone being there to help you?" The curiosity got the best of her.
"I never told my foster mother because she got a chance to work in Africa and help poor children so I never told her, and my sister was at the FBI Academy I didn't want to take more of their time that I already had when they took me in. My friend Lucy found out because she saw me at the hospital." Lena nodded. She definitely had a new admiration for the blonde. It must of took a lot of strength on Kara's part to be a mother especially being a teenager when she was in the situation. Lena thought she was strong but there was no way she was strong, Kara was stronger than anyone she had known. Kara was young and Lena knew that the feelings she was having for Kara were unappropriated and that Kara was straight. Kara thanked Lena and showed her a picture of her kids. Kara was never the one to show the pictures of her kids to anyone. James and Winn knew that Kara had kids but they have never seen photos. Kara never really hid her phone and would never deny her kids.
"They're beautiful, just like their mother." Lena said making Kara's face turn a deep shade of red. Lena offered to take Kara home and she accepted happily.

Kara had been successful in avoiding Adam for the past three weeks. Kara thought the boy would have gone back to his own place but yesterday Cat mentioned to Kara that her son would be staying with her for a while. Miss Grant was at a meeting until after noon so Kara got to wake up a little later than normal.
Occhi blu how are you feeling?
Kara smiled at the text from Lena. Since the thing at Lena's office the two have been texting each other. Kara also googled what Occhi blu meant because Lena has not stopped calling her that, and Kara learned it meant blue eyes in Italian.
Good Lena thanks, I get to spend the morning with my twins:)
Kara replied, going to her room. The twins were awake and fed and they were off to the park. Kara hadn't taken her kids to the park in a while and she missed it. As she watched the kids playing Kara remembered the day she had her kids.
Kara was officially worried she knew that the bleeding was not normal. She was only five months pregnant. Kara called a taxi and went to the emergency room. As Kara walked in a blonde doctor walked in to the room she had been placed in.
"Alright Miss Danvers, I'm Doctor Bliss, what's the problem?" The doctor said.
"I'm bleeding and I'm pregnant." Kara knew the being pregnant was obvious, she had began to show at three months because she was carrying two babies. The doctor began to yell at the people why she wasn't notified right away. She ran a few test and did an ultra sound on Kara.
"Kara the babies are in distress and you run the risk of losing them."
"Please don't let me lose them." Kara begged terrified of losing the only light she currently had in her life.
"Kara we can induce your pregnancy and that will give the babies a chance to live, however they will have to spend what was suppose to be the remainder of you pregnancy in an incubator." Kara didn't have to be told twice before she agreed. Her pregnancy was induced and after six hours of labor Kara gave birth to a baby boy and girl. They were taken to be examined and she was placed in her room. After the kids were examined they were to be taken to Kara's room in their incubators so that Kara could rest calmly knowing her kids were next to her. Kara was in between sleep and awake. She didn't want to closer her eyes until her kids were in the room.
"Kara?" Kara opened her eyes completely and saw Lucy. Lucy was a close family friend they had grew up together, last time Kara saw Lucy was a year ago when she left to the army. "What are you doing here?" The soldier asked her.
"You know just chilling here" Kara said sarcastically.
"Haha very funny Kara, so really what happened to you?" Kara knew Lucy wouldn't leave without a logical explanation. Kara was trying to make an excuse but two nurses walked into her room with the babies in their incubators. Kara smiled She had given birth to them they were hers and she was going to love them forever. Lucy made her way into the room and waited for the nurses to leave before asking. Kara explained the situation leaving out the part of her babies' father and Lucy agreed not to tell Alex and Eliza as long as she stayed to help her.
"Mommy!" Marely yelled bringing Kara back into the present. Kara stood up and walked over to her kids and saw the they were pointing to the ice cream truck. Kara smiled and said yes taking them to buy ice cream. Once the kids got what they wanted Kara made her way to Alex and Lucy's apartment. Both women had the day off and agreed to watch the twins.
"I love you guys okay." Kara told the kids as she gave them a kiss on their forehead. "I promise that I will be back in time to read you guys a bedtime story."
"Pinky promise?" Mateo said as her and his sister held out their pinkies.
"Of course." Kara stretched out her pinky and both her kids wrapped their pinky around hers but the process wasn't done, the last thing that was missing that each of then placed a kiss on their hand. They did and they let go.
"See you tonight Kara." Alex said to her sister. Kara was happy that her sister was now in her and her kids life. Alex was a little hurt at first about what Kara did. Alex thought she had a right to know about the kids but at the end of the day she was thankful for what Kara did. She knew that if Kara would have told her then, she would have given up on the academy and would have never become an FBI Agent.
Kara didn't take long to get to Catco. As soon as she stepped in Kara was told that she was needed in Miss Grant's office. When Kara walked in she was shocked to see Adam there looking at her with a face of pity. Kara wanted to turn around and run away, but she needed to stay clam she wasn't sure what it was about, maybe it was about another gala event.
"Kara please sit down." Cat gestured to the couch in front of her. Yup Kara knew this wasn't good Miss Grant was never the one to call her by her name, well her actual name to be exact.
