Hidden Truth

Kara couldn't understand why Alura kept crying, she had fed her, bathed her, and changed her. Why on earth was her child still crying. Kara took her phone out and called the only person she could think of.

"Hello" Eliza said answering her phone.

"Eliza I need your help. Please she won't stop crying." Kara whined, wanting to cry herself. Alura had been crying since last night. Kara explained to her foster mother about how Alura was well fed, changed and clean.

"Kara do you have a thermometer with you?"

"I do." Kara said as she went through the babies things trying to find it. Finally she found it and took her daughter's temperature.

"What's it say?"

"102.4." Kara answered as her concern began to rise. Her baby had gotten sick right under her nose and she couldn't do anything. Eliza explained to Kara what to do and Kara thanked her. Placing her phone on the counter she began to undress the still crying child. Finally when Alura was only in a diaper, Kara lifted her up and began her fourth attempt to get Alura to stop crying. A knock came from down stairs and Kara sighed. She may be supergirl but she was tired of having to go up and down then all the time. Letting Cat make her move out of the apartment to this penthouse wasn't the greatest thing ever. Yes it had more space and two floors and a swimming pool but Kara still missed her small apartment. Using her x-Ray vision Kara was shocked. What the heck is she doing here? Kara asked herself as she open the door.

"Hope I'm not intruding." Lena said as her eyes saw Kara and she couldn't help think how cute Kara looked in her messy ponytail, glasses nearly falling off, and the pjs she was still wearing at three in the afternoon.

"Not at all." Kara assured. "Come in." Kara moved out of the way to let Lena in. Lena stepped in and placed her bag and jacket on the couch. Lena was surprised she didn't pin Kara for fancy type of person. When she dropped Kara off a few days ago she didn't step into the penthouse. The light brown walls, the furniture in the house completely black and painting hung up also a few pictures of her and Alura were around the house. One picture caught her attention it was Cat holding what seemed to be a new born Alura and all Lena could read off the picture was pure love and happiness.

"I didn't mean to bother you its just. I wanted to bring you this." The whole time Lena had had her hand behind her back and revealed a bouquet of white roses. Kara smiled at Lena's gesture. Lena looked at the squirming little girl in her arms. Lena placed the bouquet down and took the baby from Kara.

"You shouldn't have." Kara said. "She has a fevers so she might be fussy." Kara warned but Alura was clam with Lena. She was awake but no longer crying. If Kara knew this she would have called Lena last night.

"You should have called me last night." Lena said with a smile.

"I said that out loud didn't I." Lena gave a small nod and Kara could feel the heat increasing in her cheeks. She had said that out loud. When Lena's phone rang Kara knew very well that Lena would be leaving soon and that Alura was going to be crying non-stop again.

"I won't be going back in cancel all my meetings." Those word had Kara's full attention. Had Lena just canceled all her meeting for her. No she couldn't be that important to the woman right? Kara was thankful that she had the day off, or else Cat would be yelling at her for something she didn't even know she had to do. Kara and Lena sat down on the living room watching tv as Kara enjoyed the silence. Alura wasn't crying but every now and then she'd do a small whimper and Kara's heart would ache for the little neon blue eyed girl. When they got hungry Kara decided to cook. She ended up making spaghetti. Walking over to Lena she managed to trip and spill it all over Lena who had moved Alura out of the way.

"I'm so sorry." Kara said trying to clean Lena's pants off as much as possible. Kara took Alura and let Lena get up.

"It's okay Kara, but do you mind if I use you shower?"

"Not at all use mine it's upstairs there's fresh towels there." Kara explained. Lena left and Kara started to panic. Lena was definitely going to leave right after her shower and never talk to her again. Kara waited anxiously as finally Lena came out of the shower but with the towel wrapped around her. Kara had made a mistake coming upstairs to wait for her. Shamelessly she check Lena out, and Kara couldn't find it in herself to look away.

"Have a shirt and shorts I can borrow?" Lena never thought she could end up showering here but she had gotten dirty and needed to be clean and the cold water help her cool down.

"Shirt yes but no shorts. Honestly I haven't washed all week." Kara a admitted a bit ashamed. She handed Lena a long shirt. When Lena slid the shirt in she removed the towel. She didn't mind being in underwear and a long shirt. "Why don't you spend the night. It's already late." Lena glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost midnight.

"I don't want to bother."

"I'm offering you to stay. It's not a bother." Kara said. Lena agreed. While Lena continued to help with the baby Kara decided to throw some clothes in the wash including Lena's pants. Not that as minded Lena being her underwear but she needed them for tomorrow. Kara went down stairs to put the clothes in the washer and stayed until the cycle ended to put then in the dryer. When she went back up she was very happy to see that Alura had fallen asleep on Lena's chest and also Lena had fallen asleep. Kara carefully not to wake either of the girls up took Alura and placed her in her crib. Kara covered Lena and finally laid down herself she was finally going to get some sleep. She lightly chuckled remembering when she would complain about how she never knew what it was like to feel tired and now she did. Even with her super abilities her daughter still managed to drain her energy.

When Lena opened her eyes she felt a body next her, not wanting to make much movement she carefully looked over to see Kara who was sleeping, but by the looks of it not very peacefully.

"No please stop." Kara whimpered.

"Shhh it's okay. Kara I'm right here no one is going to hurt you." Her word managed to sooth Kara. She placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before getting up. It was Friday. Alura was better today her and Kara and Alura would be going on a picnic. Lena quietly made her way downstairs into the kitchen. Finding everything she needed to make waffle and bacon with eggs. The least she could do was make Kara breakfast for being so kind to her. When a knock came from the door she decided to get it before it woke up Kara; or worse Alura who's fever had finally just begun to drop. Lena was surprised to see none other than Cat Grant at the door. Kara had told her that Cat never can over they always exchanged Alura at Noonan's.

"Where's Kara?" Lena could hear the anger in Cat's voice she was really hoping not to get Kara into any trouble.

"Sleeping upstairs." Lena answered  truthfully.

"My employee missed worked today to have fun with you." Cat assumed. "Kara has a responsibility and she missed it all because she wanted to have a little fun. Oh my god! Our daughter was the house how could you guys." Lena understood how it looked from Cat's perspective she was after all just in a long shirt and underwear.

"Nothing happened Cat." Lena turned around to see her savior Kara. "I spilled spaghetti on her last night and I asked her to spend the night because Alura had a fever and she was the only one that could seem to calm her down." In that moment Kara realized her mistake she should have never mentioned Alura having a fever.

"Our daughter had a fever and you didn't bother to call me." Cat was no longer angry at Lena but Kara who had failed to tell her their daughter was sick. "Really Kara it never crossed your mind that I could be of any help. You didn't need to call your new girlfriend. You could have called me, because I'm her mother too." Kara could hear the hurt in Cat's voice. She had made a mistake and it was too late to fix it. Cat walked out. Lena had already gotten changed and apologized for any trouble she had caused. Kara insisted for her to stay but Lena didn't. Now it was just her and Alura. How didn't she think to call Cat about this. When Cat found out they agreed to be at peace and let each other know about anything involving Alura. Lena had texted Kara that she had something to do and Kara knew that she would no longer hear from Lena. She had managed to scare her off even before they had their date.

Cat-Be ready in five minutes we're all going to a fundraiser.

Kara groaned, she hated going to events with Cat. It meant she had to dress up and play nice with a whole bunch of hypocrites. Kara got her daughter ready first then put on a simple blue dress that match Alura's. Cat kept her word and in five minutes the limo was there waiting outside the penthouse. Kara grabbed Alura and her phone and headed out. When she stepped into the limo Kara tensed up when she saw Adam, Mrs.Grant and Maxwell Lord. Cat had not told her about this.

"Remind me why I have to go?" Kara whined at Cat.

"Because it's a family fundraiser and whether you like it or not you are now a part of this family because of my precious little girl." Cat tone lighten when Alura reached her arms out to her. Kara couldn't hide the smile that went across her face. Alura was definitely a miniature version of Cat.

"Wait," Kara said. "If this is a family thing why in the hell is Maxwell Lord here?" There was no way Kara would ever identify as family with Maxwell Lord she would rather be straight than related to Maxwell Lord.

"He's my date." Cat simply said not giving it importance. Kara could swear she felt a little throw up in her mouth. "My little warrior of the night I've miss you. Are you ready to go home with mommy tonight." Cat talked to the little girl. The car came to a complete stop. Kara was not ready to go into the event. She would have to put on a smile and act kind to people she hated. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't tempted to throw Maxwell Lord into space. A girl can only dream. Kara told herself. One by one they stepped out of the limo. Kara not leaving Cat's side. She had been to a few of these with Cat but still she felt nervous every event she came to. As Cat and Maxwell Lord danced together Kara stayed at the table alone. Carter was even dancing with some girl he knew which Kara found really cute.

"Please don't date until you're 30." Kara told the smiling baby. Kara thought she would be spending her Friday night having a date with Lena and after that dropping Alura off at Cat's.

"Mind if I have this dance?" Kara turned around ready to rejected whoever it was but was surprised to see Lena.

"I would love to but-" Kara didn't finish because Lena pulled her up. Leading them to the dance floor. Lena was leading the dance with Alura in between them.

"I hope you can forgive me for texting you last minute but L-Corp has a contract with Prince Industries and it's kind my obligation to attend this and I didn't want to bore you here." Lena explained. Kara let Lena know everything was fine and they continued dancing. Somewhere during the third dance the baby had fallen asleep and soon enough the night ended. Kara handed the sleeping baby to her other mother and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"See you Monday my sweet baby." Kara said to the sleeping child. "See you Monday Cat." Kara said as she walked away to meet Lena. This Sunday Cat had to do something with her mother and they canceled their family Sunday together.
