Mom knows what?
Eliza Danvers always knew when her daughters were in trouble or when the were hiding something, considering that her youngest, Kara, is horrible liar. The girl couldn't lie if her life depended on it. Eliza had boarded a plane in Africa to return to National City and had finally landed. She couldn't wait to see her daughters, last time she checked in Kara had graduated high school and Alex was almost done with her training at the academy. Eliza sat in the waiting room of the airport, waiting for the man to tell her, that her cab was here. Eliza didn't tell Alex or Kara she was coming back, she wanted to surprise her daughters. Nearly four years she has been gone, and she can't wait to see the wonderful women that her girls turned out to be. Eliza scrolled through her Instagram, she hadn't been on it for the past year. Eliza looked up Kara's first to see what she had posted but there was only a picture of when Kara graduated with the words, I made it no matter what obstacles have been thrown my way, Eliza smiled knowing it was true. Her Kara was very strong considering everything that had happened to the girl. Next she went onto Alex's profile and the latest photo was of two weeks ago. The photo was of Alex, Lucy and Kara sitting at a Chinese take out place that said, I love these girl's to the moon and back, Eliza smiled. She was glad to know that many things didn't change that Lucy, Alex and Kara were still the greatest of friends. Eliza decided to check out what Lucy has been up to. When she made it on the girl's profile a certain picture caught her attention. Eliza tapped on the photo. It was a picture of Kara with a little boy and girl sitting on her lap, and Kara had her arms wrapped around them. That's not what shocked her the most the caption of the photo was what shocked Eliza it read, Couldn't be any prouder of this beautiful young lady, who has been so strong the past three year. Proving that she is not just a great person but also a great mother. Love you Kara to the moon and back can't believe these little monsters are officially three, Her daughters owe her an explanation. The guy told Eliza that her cab here. Eliza quickly got up and got her suitcase. Once in the cab she told the driver where to go. She was impatient to get to Alex's apartment. The drive didn't last long and Eliza, paid the driver and quickly made her way to Alex's apartment. She knocked on the door and waited patiently for the door to be opened. When the door finally opened she was a shocked that it wasn't her daughter. There was a brown skinned woman standing at the door with a long shirt and underwear.
"I'm sorry does Alexandra Danvers no longer live here?" Eliza asked the woman.
"Yeah she does." The woman confirmed. "Can I ask who's looking for her?"
"Her mother." Eliza watched as the woman bolted away to the room and left the door open. Eliza stepped in and placed her suitcase down. Is that Alex's girlfriend? Eliza wondered.
"Danvers wake the hell up!" Eliza heard the yelling coming from the room.
"Maggie what's the matter?" Eliza heard her daughter groan and chuckled a little.
"Your mom's here." Eliza noticed the panic in who she now knew was Maggie.
"What?!" The noise of a crash was heard and Eliza knew it was her daughter. A few minutes later both Maggie and Alex came out. Alex walked over to her mom and hugged her. Alex missed her mom, she was proud of her when she got the chance to go to Africa and help children, and also knew that her father would be proud of her mother too.
"Hi sweetie." Eliza greeted.
"Mom when did you get here?" Alex asked. "You should have called, I would have picked you up." Alex knows she would rather that than what just happened.
"I got here about two hours ago and I wanted to surprise you. Which I seem to have got here at a great time." Eliza chuckled lightly and saw how both her daughter and Maggie blushed. "And you are?" Eliza turned her attention to Maggie.
"M-M-Maggie Sawyer ma'am." Maggie stuttered and she never stutters, but she was meeting her girlfriend's mother and they met in a very awkward way.
"And who are to my daughter?" Eliza decided to have a little fun with the situation.
"Mom," Alex interfered. "This is my girlfriend." Alex was terrified when the words came out, she was afraid of what her mother might say, she didn't want to be disowned. Eliza heard the hint of fear in Alex's voice and her heart broke. She always knew her daughter was gay it was not a secret to her. Eliza knew about Alex's sexuality when the girl wouldn't stop checking out every woman the year Eliza took the girl to a fashion show. The hidden tears in Alex's eyes clearly visible. Eliza pulled the girl into a hug.
"Oh my dear Alexandra there is nothing wrong with you." Eliza said as she heard a sob escape her daughter's lips. "My sweet dear Alexandra I love you no matter what and I'm happy you found a girl that makes you this happy." Eliza stretch her hand out for Maggie and Maggie gladly took ahold of the woman's hand. Maggie was happy that this turned out the way it did.
"I love you mom." Alex said pulling away from her mother's embrace. Maggie was going to let go of Eliza, but Eliza pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you. For making my daughter happy." Eliza said. Maggie happily hugged back, when she pulled away Maggie said goodbye because she was already late to work. Now that they were alone Eliza could discuss with her daughter what she really wanted to discuss.
"Can I make you anything to eat?" Alex asked.
"No but you can tell me the names of Kara's kids." Eliza went straight to the point.
"What?" Alex said as her voice went high and she fidgeted with her hands. "Who told you that lie?" Alex was panicking, how did her mother find out about the twins, her and Kara were careful to keep anything that had to do with the twins out of anything her mother could see. Eliza took out her phone and showed Alex the screenshot she took of the photo Lucy posted.
"Do you want to give me an explanation or will she?" Alex gave in knowing that her mom was going to meet the twins sooner of later. Alex sighed and grabbed her keys signaling her mom to follow her. Kara's apartment wasn't far thanks to Lucy. Lucy made sure to get a place a close enough walking distance from each other. Now thanks to Lucy, Kara would have to give their mother a long explanation. Alex knew that Kara would be home, Cat had given her the week off to be able to take care of Marely. When they made it to Kara's building Alex bolted up the stairs, leaving her mother behind. Alex only told her what floor what floor it was, so that she could take the elevator. Alex used her key to open the apartment. Alex saw that Lucy, Kara and the twins were watching the movie Home Alone.
"Code Black!" Alex shouted, they had made up a code system when younger and Code Black meant that their parents were on the way up to the room. "Code Red and Code blue." Kara shot up. Code Blue meant they had just been caught in a huge lie and Code Red meant that they were in big trouble.
"How?" She questioned her sister.
"Lucy." Eliza simply stated as she walked into the apartment. Kara looked at Lucy.
"I didn't tell her anything I swear." Lucy defended herself. Before anything went on Kara told Mateo and Marely to go to the room. She didn't know what was going on, but she wanted to have a peaceful conversation with her mother and the twins being there wasn't going to be peaceful because they were going to ask many questions. Eliza once again took her phone out and showed the screenshot. "Oh I had forgot I posted that. Kara I'm so sorry." Lucy said.
"It's fine, we all knew this moment would come sooner or later." Kara was calm and Alex was surprised. Lucy however knew the only reason why Kara was calm was because being a mother had changed the girl. Kara became a strong woman the day she had her kids and Lucy knew that even if at this moment Kara was terrified she wouldn't run. Lucy left the living room to be with the twins. Kara and Alex took a seat on the couch and Eliza sat on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Kara look at me." Eliza said softly, Kara was never good with looking at people in the eyes when she was scared or nervous. She would always look at the ground. Kara use to do that a lot when Eliza and her husband would try to talk with the girl. Kara looked up to meet Eliza's gaze.
"Mom I'm sorry." Kara whispered.
"Sweetheart I am not mad, I just can't comprehend why on earth wouldn't you tell me about your pregnancy. I would have stayed with you and helped you." Eliza just wanted a clear explanation.
"That's the thing Eliza, I didn't want to take you away from the opportunity you got." Kara explained. "I had already burdened you and Alex enough when I first arrived at the your home. I was going to tell you I swear... but that day you had got the news about your job, I had decided to tell you and you told me the news and I didn't want to be the reason why you gave this amazing opportunity up mom. Before you even blame Alex she didn't know, she found out a few months ago and she wanted to tell you but I threaten to out her to you, I wanted to tell you but I was so mortified that you would be disappointed in me." Eliza wiped the tears from Kara's face. She was right on one thing her daughters had turned out to be very strong women. Eliza took ahold of both her daughters' hands.
"I am so proud of both of you for being strong and helping each other out, your father would be very proud of you two. I want you guys to stop thinking you could ever be a disappointment for me." The three hugged and finally Kara told Lucy to bring the kids out to meet their grandma. Eliza also thanked Lucy for being there to help her daughter. The family had there first meal together in years until noon came. The twins excitedly ran around shouting that they were ready to go.
"Mom you have a bathing suit with you?" Alex asked. Eliza shook her head no. Alex told her mother not to worry that she had some shorts she could use.
"Where are we going?" Eliza was confused.
"Lena's." Kara simply stated as she checked the backpack one more time. Everyone exited the apartment and got in the car. The car wasn't that big but they were able to all fit in Lucy's car.
~~~~
Lena had promised Marely that they could go over to her house and get in the pool, and Kara knew if she didn't take the kids she would have a war on her hands. When they arrived Kara was shocked at how big the house was. Lena was waiting for them outside already. Kara walked over to Lena and greeted Lena with a kiss on the cheek and everyone else just said hi. Kara introduced Lena and her foster mother. Lena led everyone inside.
"You guys could leave your bags here and the pool is that way." Lena pointed to the big doors at the far end of the house. Everyone had came ready to get into the pool, the twins already had their swimming clothes on and so did all the adults under their clothes. Lena led them out of the house and into the indoor pool. Kara was going to tell her kids to wait but she saw that Lucy and Alex were already in the pool.
"Are you going in?" Eliza asked. Kara just told her she would be in, in a little bit. Kara sat on the poolside chair that was next to Lena's. Kara had been too concentrated on her children to notice Lena, but now that she didn't have to worry about them Kara noticed that Lena was in a two piece bathing suit. Kara couldn't help but stare at Lena's cleavage.
"See something you like?" Lena asked in a seductive voice. The only reason Lena did this was because everyone was far away from them, and Lena still wasn't sure if Kara was gay or maybe even bisexual. Lena enjoyed the blush that Kara had.
"Sorry." Kara said.
"How's it going with the twins?" Lena decided to changed the subject before anyone noticed that Kara was as red as a cherry.
"Fine." Kara simply stated. "I'm still conflicted on what to do about Cat." Kara had no idea why she was telling Lena. Two days ago when she left the hospital Alex asked her the about what she thought about Cat but she just shot the conversation down. Lena wasn't anything but a friend to Kara, but she felt the need to tell Lena.
"Do you think she'll try to do anything against you?" Lena had met Cat before she ever took control of L-Corp and Lena was sure of one thing Cat earned everything she has. That woman earned every bit of respect she has by outsmarting men in a world they swore was ran by them.
"No, Cat is a woman of her word but I don't know what to do. I never thought I would ever have to deal with the twins father, their grandmother was never even a thought in my mind." Lena placed her hand over Kara's.
"Whatever you think is correct do it." That was the best advice Lena could give the girl.
"What do you think?" That was not the question that Lena was expecting. Why would Kara care what she thinks?
"What I think doesn't matter tesoro." Kara didn't know what the last word meant but she made a mental note to ask later.
"It matters to me." Kara confessed.
"Truthfully?" Kara gave a small nod. "Well I think that Cat has nothing to do with her son's chioces. I believe that if she would have known about you, she would have helped you in a heartbeat. I know Cat personally and the woman is nice once you break down those walls she formed. I think that she deserves a chance to meet her grandkids and also from someone that comes from a dysfunctional family, the more family and love the better." Kara looked over at her kids who were happily playing the the pool with Alex, Eliza, and Lucy.
"You're right Lena." Kara could see a hint of actual pain in Lena's eyes, when she mentioned family. Then Kara remembered that Lena no longer had a family. Her brother was locked up for life and her mother was no where to be found, well that's what Lena had told her. "You have us, we're your family now." Lena smiled, that was more than enough. She would be happy for the rest of her life if Kara was by her side, even if it was just as a freind. Kara stod up and tried to convice Lena to get into the water with her but Lena refused using the excuse that she was tired and was about to go cook for everyone. Which Kara knew was a lie becasue she had seen Lena's chef in the kitchen cooking. Kara took the opportunity that Lena was distracted and shoved Lena into the pool. Everyone had stopped to look at what had just happened and burst into laughter.
"You realize she's going to get you back, right?" Lucy shouted to Kara. Soon enough Lena came up from under the water.
"Help me get out?" Lena asked the girl sweetly. Kara not seeing any harm in helping Lena extented her arm to help her out of the pool, but Lena definitely wanting revenge on the blonde pulled her in. When Kara came back up the both joined the rest. They played Marco Polo, and raced until everyone was tired and hungry. When dinner was finsihed and everyone was showered it was ten at night. Lena offered them to stay and they did considering everyone was very tired. The house was big enough and Lena knew it. There was eight bedrooms and sometimes the house would get a little lonely she was happy about the company she had over, they made her feel happy, even if it was just for a day. Everyone but Lena, Kara and the twins took a bedroom downstairs. Lena led the way and gave Kara the room right in front of hers. Lena placed Marely down on the bed and Kara placed Mateo.
"You sure you don't want a room to yourself?" Lena asked.
"I'm sure." Kara had never slept away from her babies and she wasn't sure she was ready for that. "Good night Lena." Kara placed a kiss very close to Lena's lips but Lena was sure it was an accident, and Kara was aiming for her cheek; also the girl was too tired to even function.
