It had been 6 years since Alex Danvers walked into her life. Not all of those years had been blissful. Four years ago Maggie had almost lost her because she was an idiot and couldn't see what was right in front of her. They had been apart for almost a year when Maggie saw Alex with another woman in her favorite club. Maggie shouldn't have gotten jealous. After all Alex wasn't hers anymore but that didn't matter. The fact that she herself was there with another woman didn't matter. She practically ran up to Alex and her date and tore them apart. Alex should have looked hurt or confused by Maggie ripping this woman from her arms but she wasn't. The look she had said that she had been waiting for this to happen. For Maggie to realize that she had let the best thing to her go. Maggie placed both hands on either side of Alex's face and staring into the beautiful very soulful hazel eyes she apologized for letting her go. She went in for a kiss. Not caring if Alex wanted her to or not. Getting lost in those perfect lips. God those lips. The way they fit so perfectly with hers. The way they responded automatically to Maggie's lips in a very familiar way. Maggie didn't want this kiss to end but she didn't know if Alex reciprocating this kiss meant that she was taking her back. So she pulled away and looked at Alex again. Alex ran a hand through Maggie's hair and said 'what took you so long Sawyer?'
A year later they got married. Maggie had never seen Alex look more beautiful more radiant. Maggie very rarely cried in public but the sight of her soon to be wife in that dress. That dress that she had picked just for Maggie. The way it hugged every curve, the way it revealed her strong muscular back and the way it sparkled in the sunlight left Maggie breathless. Left her wanting this moment of watching Alex walk down that aisle toward her to never end. That night after the ceremony Maggie did her best to show Alex how much she loved her. How beautiful she was. But Maggie knew that she would spend the rest of her life and never be able to really explain to Alex how she felt about her. The words she needed didn't exist.
They spent the first year of marriage happy and content. The night of their anniversary Alex had surprised her with a nice getaway for a weekend. While they were away Alex asked Maggie what she thought about having kids. Truth was Maggie hadn't ever seen herself having kids. Not until she met Alex Danvers. She recalls a conversation that Alex had with her mother when she and Alex had first started dating. Alex had said she never saw herself having kids. Maggie knew that had changed. Because of her. This was the first time they were discussing children. Maggie never told Alex she had overheard that conversation with her mother that day. Because at the time Maggie was still strong in her stance of not seeing herself having children. Until they got together after that year apart. Maggie's feeling about children had changed she wanted nothing more than to have a piece of herself and Alex running around their house. Waking them up early every morning. So she told Alex that having children with her was something that she had been dreaming about for a while now. The smile that spread across her wife's face was the biggest and brightest she had ever seen.
It had been 6 years since Alex Danvers had walked into her life. She had spent 5 of those years loving no one else but Alex Danvers. She didn't think she would have it in her to be able to love anyone more than she loved Alex. When Alex went into labor that morning Maggie had started to panic. Every thought she had during Alex's pregnancy came flooding back in full force but she pushed it all down because her wife needed her to be calm. Needed her to be completely focused on her. So Maggie pushed the thoughts of not being able to do this. Of being a bad parent. Of not being the emotional support a child would need to get through life. The moment the doctor placed their daughter in her arms her heart almost exploded from the amount of love she felt for her and all her fears and doubts disappeared. This perfect tiny little human was the love she an Alex felt for each other in a living touchable form. It was too soon to tell exactly who she would look like. Maggie knew she would at least have her hair. She had been born with a full head of it. She looked at her wife with tears in her eyes. Because Maggie was happy and content. Mackenzie Elizabeth Sawyer-Danvers was the best part of falling in love with Alex Danvers. Because exactly 6 years ago this woman had walked into her life to forever change it.
