Kind of wished now I added more to His Leaving, but it's all good.
Her Leaving.
"Are you sure you aren't going to need me today?" A worried blonde asked for the fifth millionth time that morning.
"Kara, everything will be okay." Eliza assured her with a gentle smile. "Just because I haven't had babies around for almost thirty years it doesn't mean I don't remember how to take care of them."
"I know, I know," Kara sighed. "I'm just worried that, I don't know, something will go wrong."
"We're safe. Now get to work. It'll go by a lot faster when your focused on everything else. If Barry managed than you can too."
"Eliza, Barry kept messaging me every couple of minutes asking me if we were fine."
"And I promise you that if he was okay, than you will be too." The older blonde said, ignoring her daughter's comment. "Now get going unless you need me to drive you in like a little girl."
"Fine." Kara sighed as she placed her bag on her shoulder. Kara twisted herself to the side to find her little girls with soft play blocks in their hands while sitting in their little carriers. "Bye bye, girls."
At work after Kara was greeted back by co-workers with hugs and a cake, she placed Cat's latte on her desk then returned to her own desk to start work. She studied what she had to do from the three month leave, but her mind wondered off to the house. She picked the phone up and dialed the familiar number.
"Hello?" Eliza's voice came on.
"Hi, it's me." Kara said. "How are they?"
"Kara, it's been ten minutes since you last called. They're still okay."
"Positive?"
"Promise."
The blonde sighed. "Okay. Thank you." She said and hung up the phone.
"How's mother world?" Winn asked from his own desk.
"I hate not being around them." Kara muttered.
Cat came in some time later and began passing by Kara's desk when she spotted the blonde. "Kara?" She sounded surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"Morning Ms. Grant," Kara stood up. "I'm back from maternity leave."
"I see, but I assumed it was the end of the month you came back." She said.
"I think it is three full months, but I was okay to come back early." Kara lied. She didn't want to come back this early, but she knew she had to get use to being away from her babies sooner or later.
"Oh, I see." Cat said. Then in a professional tone she said, "Remember when I said to you years ago about having to balance out work and motherhood without burning out." Cat asked. Kara nodded. "Remember that." She said and then turned to her office.
A half hour passed and Kara called her house again. Before she could say 'hello', Eliza said something else. "Keep calling us and I'll never get them to nap."
"Ugh!" Kara sighed. Suddenly she saw a news report about a robbery at the local museum, men and women armed with violent guns. "Winn?"
"Yeah?" He asked, not facing her.
"Can you call my foster mom in a few minutes?"
"Uh, sure?" Winn questioned. "But how come?" He turned to find an empty desk. Smirking to himself he said, "And she's back in town." He muttered.
Ten minutes of fighting the twenty robbers and saving a pet hamster from an oak tree, Kara made it back to her work in her usual attire and sat back at her desk. "Between the snake and the hamster, the snake has a cuter name."
"What's the hamsters name?"
"Mr. Blotchy." She laughed. "Did you call?"
"Uh, yeah. She said they're fine, taking a nap, and if you make a friend call her again to check on them she's kidnapping them.'
"Okay." Kara sighed.
"Kara?" Cat called her into her office.
Kara stood up and walked into Cat's office with the her clipboard in hand. "Yes, Ms. Grant?"
"Good work on the robbers," She said. Kara wanted to slap herself. "But don't push yourself." She said in a clear but stern voice. "Carrying four plates is easier said than done."
"Four plates?"
"Yourself, motherhood, Supergirl and CatCo Media." The woman explained. "And in that order."
"Shouldn't it be motherhood first?"
"If you aren't healthy or in a good state of mind for yourself, you won't be healthy and in a good state of mind for the girls." She further explained. "Don't burn out."
"Okay." Kara said.
Easier said than done though.
