Maggie dropped fully clothed onto her bed muffling an almost primal moan in her pillow at finally being able to lay down properly after the long day of paperwork and getting off work just to go running down a puck head teenager (and as it turned out to be later the kid was a punk head, alien teenager) thinking how romantic it would be to hold up shops in down town Gotham just to get his human would be girlfriends fake diamonds just to get the girl to even start to think about going out on a date with him.
The cop grinned when she remembered the look on the kids or the shop owner's face after she'd suggested that maybe next time the teen should just take a baseball bat to one of the out of date knickknack dispensers outside the grocery stores that way he'd have a chance at getting something better for his girl than anything he could find in that out of the way place as she cuffed him and shoved the teen into the back of her squad car.
"I swear the look on his face was just priceless...Like full on deer in headlights and what was even cuter was that he had steam coming out of his ears." Maggie laughed trying to mimic the expression as best as she could in her tired state once she finished telling the after-work highlights of her day while cuddling closer to her bedmate.
"The kid?" Alex asked curiously "Hang on like actual steam?" she questioned already shaking in quiet laughter tilting her head down to look at her better, but Maggie shook her head with a faraway ghost of a laugh "Nope the guy supposedly running the place the kid was holding up...and yeah like really real actual steam." The detective corrected falling silent for a few seconds as she listened to the background music "Odds Are." She smiled proudly "Odds are what?" Alex blinked completely confused by her girlfriend's comment.
"Well I'd say that we're going to be alright but really that's just the name of the song you lovable nerd." Maggie laughed her fingers tracing little patterns against her companion's stomach as she talked.
"And you call me a nerd babe?" Alex smiled with a teasing wink at Maggie's pouting expression. "You distracted me so I wasn't paying attention very well." Alex answered defiantly but the way she was biting into her lower lip proved that Maggie wasn't in any real trouble. "So, want to eat now or keep cuddling like this?" Maggie wondered trying to hide a yawn behind her hand as she rolled over onto her stomach and just hoped Alex hadn't heard just how loud it was growling at the smell of food filling the small apartment.
Alex paused pretending to think it over until she finally spoke up. "Well, how about you tell me how much you liked your present then we'll eat?" the agent bargained still watching her warily as her fingers fisted in her dog's fur nervously. "Oh, you mean my little Lexie? Yeah no, I love her so much already babe don't worry." Maggie vowed staring deeply into Alex's eyes as she confessed this. "I'm surprised Kara couldn't hear me gushing about how perfect she was when I pulled her out of the box."
"I did actually." Kara interjected climbing into bed beside them and leaning over into the view of the computer screen much to her older sister's annoyance. "and it was adorable and so sweet." The blonde smiled "I just wish I could have heard it." Alex sulked resting her chin against the top of Gertrude's head as she hugged the stuffed pup against her chest.
"There you go getting soft on me again Danvers." Maggie joked pulling her own little pup into her lap and into full view of the web came on her computer. "Maggie you're sure I can't just…" Kara offered again "As I've said before Little Danvers. It's sweet that you want to fly us back and forth, so we can be together, but we can't just take advantage of your abilities like that." The cop reminded them as gently as she could manage pressing a dust of a kiss on the top of the pup's head.
"What does that little heart say?" Kara asked by way of changing the subject squirming around beside her sister trying to get a better view.
"4ever." Alex and Maggie said together by way of answering both breaking out matching beaming smiles.
"Kara take your elbow out of Alex's ribs please." The detective added trying not to break at the sight of the two adopted siblings mock fighting by childishly elbowing the other in the side until all three were giggling.
"Yeah, miss super speeder go get our dinner…. please." Alex ordered earning a playful growl and a round of childishly sticking out their tongues out at one another in a quiet sisterly fight. "Hey, come on you two cut it out with the adorable Danversness. One of us skipped out on lunch and had a one coffee breakfast and I don't mean Al…." Maggie trailed off at noticing Alex's suddenly guilty look that she was trying to hide behind her stuffed dog's fluffy head or at least behind the rose in its mouth.
"Alex."
The agent just kept her head down hiding her face like a child hid from a scolding parent. "See told you she'd be on my side." Kara scoffed jumping back into her place on the bed already holding out a steaming container to her older sister while on screen Maggie busy was unloading her own takeout containers on top of her bed just outside the computers view.
"Stop ganging up on me or I'm sicing Gertrude on you." Alex threatened around a mouth full of takeout food still cradling the stuffed dog in her lap while she ate. Just like Maggie was doing with the stuffed animal valentine Alex had gotten for her.
Maggie and Kara both rolled their eyes at the other, but Maggie was the first to break the silence. "Happy Valentine's Day nerd."
"I love you too Sawyer."
"And I love both of you too." Kara joined in after she'd managed to swallow a large mouth full of her own dinner. "What I just wanted to be included in your little adorable moment too." She backtracked under both Alex's and Maggie's eyebrow raised glances then earning Maggie throwing a pillow at the computer while Alex tossed one of her own pillows at her laughing sister in retaliation.
"Way to kill the mood, Little Danvers." Maggie teased sharing a sly grin with Alex while Kara got up to get another round of drinks.
"Happy Valentine's Day Maggie Sawyer." Alex whispered pressing a soft kiss to the top of Gertrude's head without taking her eyes away from Maggie's.
"Happy Valentine's Day Alex Danvers." Maggie echoed mimicking her girlfriend's actions with her own dog.
