Hidden Truth

Cat had just finished reading the chapter of the Harry Potter book.

"One more chapter please mom." Carter begged.

"Not tonight Carter your teacher is coming tomorrow." Cat reminded the boy. She planted a kiss on his forehead. "Good night."

"Good night, love you." Carter said.

"Love you too." Cat walked out closing the door to her son's room. Cat walked into her room and noticed it was a little colder. She looked over to the balcony and noticed that the door was open. Cat walk to the balcony and saw no one. She walked back in and closed the door behind her making sure to lock it. She went to grab her laptop but on top of it there was a letter with her name neatly written. She'd recognize this writing anywhere it was Kara's. Quickly Cat opened the letter. And read it.

Dear Catherine
I've written this letter a million yet every time I write it the words don't seem to fit together correctly. I write with one objective in mind to deliver a truth, a hidden truth, that I so badly wanted to keep hidden but it came to my attention that you deserved the truth. There's no easy way to put this even if it's in a letter. So I guess here it goes. When you asked about my daughter's father I told you he wasn't in the picture and that's true because but child's father isn't a father but a mother. What I'm trying to say is she's yours, you are her other parent. I just had to tell you. I'm not asking you for anything if that's what you think like I said you had a right to know.
Love Kara Danvers

Cat quickly jumped out of her bed. She quickly read the letter again to make sure she hadn't misread it. Cat grabbed her laptop and put it in a bag along with the letter. She walked to Carter's room and to her surprise he was still awake.

"Everything okay mom?" The boy asked concerned.

"Yes but we have to go back to National City." Carter knew not to question his mother. "Just grab a sweater and we're off." Carter did as he was told and took ahold of his mom's hand. Cat had gotten a private jet she needed to get to National City if what Kara had written was true. Once on the jet the anger began to grow. If it was all true she had missed three months of her child's life. Three months that she'll never get to see. What's her name? Cat asked herself she had left in such a hurry she never bothered to ask. All she knew was that Kara had a beautiful baby girl.

Cat's job here was done Kara was awake happily hold her daughter. Cat glanced back one more time at the now recovered hero and wanted out.

"Miss Grant!" Yelled a voice from behind her.

"Agent Danvers what can I do for you?" Cat asked trying not to cry in front of the woman.

"Why are you leaving now?" Alex went straight to the point.

"Because my job here is done." Cat said. "I had an obligation as her boss to make sure she's okay now that she is I can get back to my very busy life." Cat didn't know if the last sentence was to convince Alex or herself.

"Bullshit!" Alex stated.

"Excuse me?"

"Bullshit!"Alex repeated. "I can see it in your eyes you love her. I get it, it can be scary to tell the person you love but if you don't tell them they will always be a what if."

"Miss Danvers I don't think you understand. I love her, all of her. Not just Kara Danvers and supergirl but also the girl she was before this planet. The real her. However I will never tell her she's young and has a great future ahead of her. Dating me means being under constant watch of the world because after all I am The Queen of All Media." Cat couldn't continue with the conversation and left.

The jet had landed and Cat woke up Carter. Her chauffeur had already arrived along with Carter's babysitter.
"I'll see you in a bit Carter." Cat said kissing her son goodbye. It was early and the boy was still tired.

"Where to Miss Grant?" Asked the man.

"To Miss Danvers apartment." Cat stated. Mike her driver already knew where it was. Cat had asked him to drop Kara off a few times before. When the car came to a complete stop Cat took a deep breath. The anger had again built up but Cat knew she needed to stay calm. Her and Kara were going to have a civilized conversation. Cat walked up to the apartment. She took a deep breath preparing herself to knock. What do I say to her? Cat questioned herself. She took one final deep breath and knocked. When the door opened Cat was surprised to see Lucy.

"Cat what are you doing here?" Cat could feel the poison in Lucy's voice.

"Lucy who is it?" Came Kara's voice from behind. "Cat?" Kara said barely above a whisper when she saw Cat. Lucy having to go to work left. Working for the DEO required her to be in at 5 in the morning.

"Hello Kara." Cat managed to say. Kara invited her in and Cat stepped in.

"Would you like something to drink?" Kara asked. She was nervous she expected Cat to come back but not this soon.

"No." Cat didn't have anymore patients she just wanted the truth. "Is it true?"

"Is what true?" Kara said.

"Don't act stupid Kara! The letter." If Cat had planned on having a peaceful talk with Kara that was no longer a plan. Her blood was boiling of the anger.

"Yes" came the weak voice from Kara. A smile slipped across Cat's face. She was a mother if a little girl.

"How?" Cat needed to know, she had been dumb not to think of the possibility considering Kara's alien DNA.

"Because we had a connection that day. It was so pure it made a life." It was the best explanation Kara could give, with out mentioning the word soulmate. "Like I said I'm not asking for anything." Kara didn't want Cat thinking she wanted money. "I'm perfectly capable of raising my daughter." It was the way Kara said it that hurt Cat. She was using the word to make it clear that she wasn't going to give up with out a fight.

"I don't doubt that." Cat informed the new mother. "However if she's my daughter she has to have my last name, and there's no way in hell I'm going to let you live here with our child." When Cat came here she expected a teary, happy reunion not this.

"She has you last name and there's nothing wrong with my apartment." Kara defended.

"We can discuss this peacefully or go to court Kara?" Cat was willing to fight fur her daughter and the right to be with her. "I won't allow you to take her away or not let me near her."

"Cat you can't do that I'm her mother. She needs me."

"I'm her mother too. Did that ever cross your mind. That you should of told me the second you found out instead of hiding it from me."

"And what were you going to do Cat?" Kara questioned. "Believe me? Because I was fucken terrified when I found out about her and I was going to tell you but that day you told me what happened between us was just sex." Kara reminded the older woman. Her voice was breaking of the memory. Then Kara's words popped into Cat's head.

'I'm not asking for anything it's not like if you're some guy that got me pregnant and I'm asking for child support'

How could she have missed it. Cat ran her hand through her blonde hair. Letting out a sigh, she was the one to blame, she had pushed Kara away all because she needed to keep her reputation clean.

"If you would have told me I would have been there for you."

"It's too late for that." Kara's words made Cat loose all hope. "You and I can't change what we did in the past but what we can do now is work together to raise our daughter." Kara offered Cat a warm smile that she returned.

"Yes but you can't live here." Kara tried to find some kind of joking tone in Cat's voice but there was none. "Either move into the penthouse with me and Carter or take one of the penthouses I own near mine."

"Fine" Kara agree knowing she wasn't going to win this fight. "I'll take a penthouse near yours but we need rules." Cat agreed. For two hours they discussed and came to an agreement. Kara would have Alura with her from Monday through Wednesday and Cat Wednesday after noon through Saturday and Sunday both women would spend the day together. That was the best they could come up with, without fight.

"Can I hold her?" Cat asked. Kara nodded and went to get the now awake child. Returning she placed Alura in Cat's arms.

"Hi..." Cat said looking up at Kara seeking the name of her daughter.

"Alura."

"Hi Alura. I'm you other mom." Cat planted a soft kiss on the baby's forehead. "I'm sorry I was gone but I'm here now." Kara watched in awe as Cat interacted with there daughter. This was a new adventure. Her and Cat would have to learn how to work with each other for their daughters sake. Lucy never crossed Kara's mind but it didn't matter her daughter had to come first. Kara knew it was important for a child to have their two parents and Alura had that chance she wasn't going to take it from her. Kara quietly took a photo and hid her phone. The sight in front of her was beautiful.

The End
