Seeing her own child walk in every day from school was the most fulfilling thing ever for Lena. Her daughter was now thirteen, and even after all these years, she cannot get over her blue eyes. The blue eyes that both amazed and haunted her.

If only her daughter knew about her real mom.

Lena was happily married, and raised the daughter that didn't biologically belong to her by herself. Lena was terrified of the day that she would have to break her daughter's heart. The only difference being, Kara wasn't dead. She was alive, she was very alive.

Kara just decided that what with her life as Supergirl that she couldn't balance a child on top of it. The father of the child that Lena had basically adopted was never enclosed to her. Kara insisted that the information of her child's father wasn't important.

13 Years Earlier…

Kara had just given birth to a beautiful baby girl in the DEO. Lena at this point still didn't know who Kara really was. That was until Kara turned up at her penthouse not ten hours later with an infant in her arms.

As Lena opened the door, she was startled to see Kara stood there with a baby in her arms.

"Kara!" Lena started, before frowning, "Are you okay? Is the baby-" She paused, "Is that baby yours? Or is it Supergirl's?" She was confused as Kara still had a bump there.

Kara stuttered slightly, "That's…That's what I wanted to talk to you about." She walked past Lena, and was well aware of Lena's eyes following her. Kara then turned to face her as she stood in the middle of the lounge, "This child is mine…And Supergirl's."

Okay, now Lena was confused, "Wait-did you and her?"

"No!" Kara gasped, "No Lena." She laughed uneasily, "The thing is…I am her. I am Supergirl."

The raven haired woman stood, deeply confused.

Kara sighed. She walked across the room, "Can you hold her? Please?"

Lena took the child in her arms, holding her carefully as Kara removed her glasses and put her hair down, "I'm not wearing the suit because I've just come out of the DEO. If you want me to fly to prove it-"

"No, no. I believe you." Lena said calmly. She sounded calm but her eyes told a different story, "I would go on and ask, why the secrets and being two-faced, but I know the answer to those, however, I have a very good question."

The blonde swallowed the lump in her throat.

"And I think you know what my question is…" Lena trailed off.

"My life, my world is too dangerous and I don't want that for her. I don't want her to know who I am full-stop. It's safer that way. You don't need to know who the father is." Kara then looked at the floor, "Lena, you are my best friend and I trust you more than anyone. Please can you raise her? Can you give her the life that I can't?"

Lena saw tears forming in Kara's eyes. She took a breath, "I face assassination attempts everyday, what makes you think that she'd be any safer with me?"

"I trust you." Is all Kara said to her, "And if you take her in, this will be the last time she sees me. Well, as Kara Danvers anyway…So…Will you be her mom?" Kara asked softly.

Lena looked down at the infant in her arms and nodded slowly, "Yes, whatever you need." There was a beat of silence, "Do you want to hold her?"

"Gosh, no!" She said quickly, "I gave her to you so it wouldn't be as hard for me to let go of her when I asked."

"So, she won't know who you are? You're just, Supergirl?" Lena asked.

Kara nodded slowly, "It's better that way. Thank you Lena."

"What are friends for?" Lena asked with a small smile.

Kara nodded slowly. She walked over to her baby and kissed her on the forehead. She whispered something Kryptonian to her that Lena didn't understand. She just knew that it was a goodbye of sorts.

….

13 Years later…

Lori walked in, she looked fatigued from her full day of learning. She dumped her bag on the counter in the kitchen, and sat at the island and watched as Lena was cooking dinner, "Mom, how was your day?" She asked softly.

Lena raised her brows, "First of all, where are your glasses? You know you're supposed to wear them all the time."

Lori pouted, "But I can see fine." She insisted, as she was pulling off her school tie from around her collar. She watched as her mother walked over to her school bag. Lena pulled out a box from the front and gave it to the girl, "Dr Moon said to me that you needed them, so wear them. I didn't spend money on them for you not to wear them."

The pan on the hob fizzed away as Lori put her glasses on her face.

"Home-made potstickers for dinner." Lena said to her as she looked down at the pan.

"Mom, when is the day when you can take me into work with you?" Lori asked, "The teacher said today that we had a trip to Catco as part of our media studies and I forgot when it was."

Lena glanced up for a moment. She had forgotten all about that school trip, "Uh, honey. I don't take you, the school bring you and I will give you a tour of the company with your classmates." She laughed when Lori frowned at her. Lena then continued, "You get to school, they make sure everyone is present and you will arrive at my workplace at half past nine. We don't bend the rules, because remember, I'm meant to be working. It's just this one time when things are slightly from my normal work day."

"And what do you do on your work day?" Lori asked her. After thinking about it, she realized that Lena talked an awful lot about L-Corp and what she does there, but never about her time at Catco, "At Catco, I mean. At L-Corp, it's all science and technology for tomorrow, but what about Catco? Apart from boring meetings and admin?"

"I guess you'll find out tomorrow." Lena smiled sheepishly. She picked up her phone as it buzzed on the table, "Your dad will be home late so it's just you and me for dinner tonight, so…Why don't we bend the rules and eat in the lounge?" She said with a mischivious smile.

Lori smiled back at her, "And a movie?"

"If you go and get changed, I may think about it." Lena smiled.

"Yes!" Lori said gleefully as she bounced off of her chair. She grabbed her bag before running to her room.

Several thoughts ran through Lena's head at once. She realized that Kara was back at work tomorrow. She internally cursed. This would be the first time that Kara had seen her own daughter since she was a baby.

Crap.
