Hidden Truth

Cat sat on her living room couch enjoying the movie her and her son were watching. Carter happily munched on popcorn.

"Mom?" The young boy called.

"Yes Carter?" Cat looked down giving her son her full attention.

"Can we invite Kara over tomorrow for dinner and a movie." Cat wanted so badly to say no but she knew she couldn't say no to those pleading blue eyes.

"Of course Carter I'll text her after the movie." Carter snuggles closer to his mom and smiled. When the movie came to end Cat notice Carter had fallen asleep. She slowly stood up and laid the boy across the couch. I'm getting to old for this. Cat told herself as she thought of the possibility of carrying her son to his room. Cat went upstairs grabbed a blanket and went back down stairs to cover Carter. Before heading back upstairs Cat made sure all the doors were locked.

As Cat sat comfortably on her bed she couldn't help but replay the others day event in her head. Kara panicking about the baby kicking and how she calmed her down. Also how they were going to kiss until the devil spawn of a Lane decided to cry. Cat kept her word and texted Kara. However Kara said no but invited Cat and Carter to join her for family night. Cat hesitated at first but agreed only of course for Carter.

Alex was taking out all the snacks everyone had brought for family night. While doing that Alex noticed something unusual.
"Kara why do we have so much food?" Kara gave her sister a sweet, innocent, nervous smile. Alex knew that smile too well it was the smile Kara did everytime she was trying to hide something. "Kara Danvers what did you do!?"

"Nothing!" Kara defended herself right away. "But since you're all her did I forget to mention that i-invitedCatGrantandCarter." Kara speeded to the last few words of her statement.

"You did what?" James and Winn asked socked. Before the fight could go on there was knock on the door and there she was Cat and Carter. Kara let them in and smiled. Saved by the devil again. And she silently thanked Cat's timing. Cat handed Kara a 24 pack of beer she had bought for them.

"Oh um thank you Miss Grant." Winn took the case away from Kara and put it on the table. Alex opened the box right away and opened a beer she was going to need it if she wanted to make it threw the night with out killing Kara. Carter made his way passed his mother and hugged Kara.

"Miss Grant, Carter welcome. I believe you guys know everyone except Hank." Kara introduced them. Then the games began. Everyone split into two teams. Guys vs girls. It was Lucy, Alex, Kara, and Cat against Winn, Carter, James, and Hank. The night began with a game of charades, then twister and the last game was monopoly. Everyone had finished all their money except Cat and Kara.

"Alright mom you can win if you don't roll a six!" Carter warned his mother. Cat smirked.

"Don't worry my son your mother never loses." Cat stated with confidence. With that Cat released the dice and rolled a six. Kara jumped up of excitement. The game was over Cat had officially gone bankrupt. Everyone did their part in helping clean and gathering food and snacks to take to the living room.

"We're not done yet Miss Grant." Alex found herself stopping her sister's boss. "You can go if you like but we usually end after we watch a movie." Cat smiled and walked back to the living room. Carter had already gotten comfortable on Kara's lap and had his hand on her belly.

"Carter!" Cat shouted. "Get off her-"

"Cat it's fine. He won't hurt me all he wanted to do was feel the baby kick." Kara explained. She really didn't mind having the boy sit on her lap.

"The baby kick!" Alex screamed and jumped over the couch to place her hand on Kara's belly. Everyone else joined and placed their hands on he belly as they felt the baby kick. Kara waited patiently to see if they would all remove their hands but they didn't.

"Off NOW!" Kara ordered and immediately everyone moved away expect Carter who remained on her lap. Between the movie Lucy and Remember the Titans they chose Remember the Titans. As the movie came near to an end James, Winn, Alex and Hank left. Carter had fallen asleep on Kara's lap. Slowly Kara lifted the sleeping boy and placed him on the couch. Lucy gave Kara a hug.

"I have to go but don't forget about lunch tomorrow because no one is going." Lucy told Kara. Kara just smiled at how much her friend worried about her. Lucy placed a soft feather light kiss on the right side of Kara's lips. Then Lucy lowered herself and kissed Kara's belly. "Take care of my goddaughter." With that Lucy said goodbye to Cat and left. Cat couldn't help but feel jealous of the scene that had played out before her. Kara on the other had was still shocked of the feather light kiss she had received dangerously close to her lips.

"I should get going." Cat spoke looking down.

"Please stay." Kara sounded more desperate than she would have liked. "Carter's already asleep. You shouldn't wake him." Cat nod accepting the invitation. Kara showed Cat to her room.

"Where will you sleep?" Cat asked. "And you better not say the ground." Kara looked down knowing very well that was going to be her response. "Come on we're adults we can both sleep on a bed together." Kara follow orders and went to into her room.

"Would you like something to sleep in?" Cat nod and Kara handed her some sweats and a shirt. Kara walked into the bathroom and walked back out. Cat couldn't help but stare at Kara, she was wearing a baggy shirt and her underwear.
"I can put some pants on. It's just they make me feel uncomfortable." Kara explained.

"No it's fine." Cat assured Kara. "It's just pregnancy suits you."

"Thank you." With that both woman crawled into bed and went to sleep.

In the morning Cat was awake bright and early and left as soon as Carter woke up. Kara on the other hand was exhausted to wake up early. When Kara woke up she quickly showered, got dressed and made her way to out of her apartment. When Kara opened the door she saw a single rose on the floor with a letter. The letter read, Have a  great day my beautiful sunshine. Kara smiled and left to her job, nothing could ruin her mood today. When Kara arrived at Catco she noticed her desk was empty and panic began to build. Using her super hearing she picked up on what people were saying.

"Yeah I herd Miss Grant is going to fire her for getting pregnant." Right away Kara stopped listening. Was Cat really going to fire her? Kara looked around but Cat was no where to be seen. She walked into Cat's office and paced while chewing on her nails. Kara was too distracted to notice Cat walk in.

"Kara?!" Cat yelled for the fourth time.

"Miss Grant, you're here." Kara stopped pacing and focused on Cat. While focusing on Cat, Kara learned that her daughter's heartbeat and Cat's where in sync.

"Of course I'm here this is my office." Cat said in a duh tone.

"Miss Grant were are my thing?" Kara asked quickly.

"In you new office you're being promoted."

"Miss Grant please don't fir-" Kara looked up at Cat. She wrapped her arms around Cat and hugged her. When Kara remembered that they were in Cat's office she pulled away. "I'm sorry."

"Stop apologizing." Cat said. "Come on let me show you you're new office, also Kara you will be incharge of finding me a new as saint." Kara agreed no one would be able to find Cat a new assistant other than her because, she knew exactly what Cat like.

"Kara?" came from the entrance of the small office. Both of them turned around to see Lucy at the door. "There you are, I was looking for you and Winn said I could find you up here." Cat was already annoyed with Lucy she just couldn't help but think that Lucy wanted more than a friendship from Kara.

"Well I will leave you two alone." Cat said excusing herself. Kara knew there was no point in stopping Cat she wasn't nice to her around people at least not at Catco. Lucy let herself in and joined Kara as she showed her the bag in her hand.

"Is that what I think it is?" Kara didn't need a confirmation she used her X-ray vision to find out. "Lucy it is you cook my favorite lasagna!" Lucy smiled at the smiling girl in front of her this is all she wanted, to make Kara happy and if she could do it for the rest of her life she would.

"So yes we could have lunch here." Lucy already knew the answer to that and took a seat. She took out the plate and two forks for them to eat.

"I thought you said no one could come." Kara asked in between bites.

"We couldn't but I sneaked out." Kara smile Lucy was always being nice to her sometime Kara wondered if it was just because she was pregnant. Kara noticed that Lucy was wearing nice clothing not her formal wear of the DEO. She had on blue jeans that hugged her body and a shirt that showed the perfect amount of cleavage to make any man or woman stare. They enjoyed the food and finally Lucy had built up the courage to what she had came to do. She leaned in and pressed her lips on Kara's at first Kara didn't know how to react and them she let herself be guided through the kiss. Lucy pulled away with a smile and Kara was still a bit shocked.

"Lucy, what was that?"

"Kara that is how I feel" she began to explain. "since the day I met you. At first I thought I was mad because James liked you but them I realized it was because I liked you I didn't want him to like you." With that Kara knew her thoughts were way off Lucy was nice to her because she liked her, because she wanted something more than just being friends and at that moment Kara had no idea what to say.

"Lucy I'm going to be mom." Kara said as if that was a valid reason for a woman not to date. "Being with me isn't about just dating me it's about dating the girl who constantly has to leave because the city she swore to protect needs her also now it dating the girl who gonna be a mother and can't just be with anyone because my child will always come before anyone or anything."   

"Kara look at me." Lucy placed her fingers under Kara's chin and pushed her head up so Kara would look at her. "I wouldn't be telling you this if I wasn't sure about what I feel. I want to be with you and I want to be there for little one. Kara her other mother doesn't want to be here by what I can see so please let me be there for both of you." Kara slowly nod she had to give herself a shot at happiness Cat had made it clear she didn't want anything to do with her.

"Fine but for now we keep this relationship a secret it's not that I don't think we'll make it but if anything was to ever happened between us I still want you there for her." Lucy agreed and gave Kara a final kiss goodbye and left. Kara went to Cat's office to help her with a few things. Before she left she handed Cat a list of people who would be in tomorrow at first hour. She had found Miss Grant the perfect candidates to be her new assistant.
