    Summary

    “You know,” Sam says in a low tone, eyes still on the chaos in the kitchen, “at some point you’re going to have to tell her.”

    Lena blinks away from it. “Tell who what?”

    “Kara. How you actually feel about her.”

    Across the room, Kara stills after she hears that. Not visibly. Not enough for anyone without super senses to notice. But her name paired with the sound of Lena’s heartbeat shifting is enough to get her attention.

    On the couch, Lena exhales through her nose, “It’s not like that.” It's what she manages, even though it is exactly like that.

    Summary

    They’re at game night. Alex is complaining about losing. Winn is pretending not to cheat. There’s laughter in the air, soft and golden, curling around the windows and cushions like smoke.

    Lena’s half-listening, caught somewhere between the burn of bourbon in her glass and the curve of Kara’s mouth as she teases Alex.

    She almost doesn't notice when Kara leans in, low and fond and a little breathless, and says under her breath, like it’s just for her:

    “Zrhureiao.”

    Kryptonese.

    It lands like a meteor in Lena’s chest.

    Summary

    “Kara I can do that. I can protect your baby from the government and anyone else who wants to hurt them. I- Kara…” Lena’s face lit up with sudden excitement. “Marry me.”
    -
    When Kara unexpectedly finds herself pregnant, and sans the boyfriend who got her so, she’s faced with a heartbreaking choice. But when she goes to her best friend for advice secrets are revealed and she is offered a way to not only keep her child but also to have the partner she’s starting to realise is everything she’s ever wanted.
    Mon-el running away has given Lena the chance to have everything she’s ever wanted, even if it’s just on paper. She’s not about to screw up her chance to have a family with Kara and she’s certainly not going to make it awkward by confessing she's hopelessly in love with her best friend. No Lena is going to make sure nothing and no one ruins this for her, not even herself.
