The six-month-old babies played with the othe one sitting next to each other, sharing the toys while they babbled by having a conversation as if it were the most important one they were having in their entire lives. This fact made her smile slightly as she watched them, they had grown to look the same, but their personalities continued to be opposite.

She made use of the x-ray vision to make sure who was on the other side of the door, finding her sister and Nora, who did not hesitate to hug her legs at the moment she allowed them to go inside.

"Hello, kiddo" she ruffled her hair before bending over to hug her, smiling slightly when she noticed the suit she was wearing. "I like your suit" she commented with admiration getting the little girl to laugh lightly while showing her the cape. "Are you sure you're not Supergirl?" She tickled her.

"See mom, she knows" said the girl turning towards her mother getting both adults to laugh while listening to her.

"I didn't say that she wasn't going to know" Alex answered her daughter before looking at her and holding back the laughter.

"Mommy told me that I will be able to meet Supergirl" the little girl said with a big smile on her face, which made her smile too, she had been talking to her sister for weeks about that encounter. "They work together" the kid told her.

"Seriously? Alex when were you going to tell me?" She asked her sister, trying to show offense at not knowing the information, but smiling at her slightly.

Her sister just shook her head as she approached the twins, who had turned towards them with their arms outstretched demanding the attention of her aunt, who sat on the blanket with them before picking them up and sitting them on her legs.

"When did you two grow so much?" Alex asked. "Every day that passes you look more and more like your mommy" she heard her comment shortly before she sat down again and allowed them to continue their conversation."Do you miss him?" her sister asked her as she approached her.

"He's not here to see them grow, to see how they change each day and learn something new" she answered without being able to take her eyes off her daughters. "I usually talk to him every day, you should see how their little faces change when they listen his voice, it's like if they knew who he is," she explained with a slight smile, the only thing she wanted was that at some point the four of them could be together without fear that he had to leave.

Nora had sat down on the floor next to her cousins while trying to play with them in the most delicate way she could, mediating between the twins the moment that Elara took the toy from Vega, who did not hesitate to cry until her cousin handed her a different one, which seemed to calm her enough to stop crying and start biting. The reality is that she was teething, which made her much more irascible about everything besides the need to bite everything that was close to her.

"Auntie, when's Mike going to come back?" Nora asked as innocently as she could as she approached her.

"Nora ..." Alex began talking to what she shook her head, she was not angry because the little girl had asked about him.

"I don't know, baby, I hope soon" she crouched at the height of her niece to receive her in her arms, because the kid hugged her.

"I want him to come back" she heard her whisper to what she sighed, she did too.

"Do you want us to talk to him?" She asked, seeing her niece nod truly excited about it.

She took the tablet that Brainy had given her in the DEO, the one that was formatted to be able to get in touch with the Legion whenever she needed it, which had facilitated her communication with Mon-El, since she had been able to do it without moving from her loft.

She felt as her niece began to get impatient as time passed and Mon-El did not answer the call, which made her laugh lightly.

"Kara?" Mon-El's voice was present.

"Hello!" Nora exclaimed without giving her time to answer anything.

"Nora?" He questioned. "Hi, kiddo" he greeted getting the kid smile excited.

"She wanted to talk to you" she commented trying to explain it to him, laughing after observing how Vega had stretched her arms at the same time that she started to scream. "What did you want to tell him, Nora?" she asked.

"I'm going to meet Supergirl" exclaimed the little girl.

"Wow ..., you're so lucky" Mon-El replied. "Vega, baby, stop screaming" he laughed, surprising her, because she did not know that he was capable of differentiating the screams of the little ones.

"When are you going to come back?" Nora's innocent question clenched her heart back into a fist, and she wanted so much for him to give her an answer.

"I don't know yet, soon, okay?" He said. "I have to leave you, we'll talk soon," he told them, so they had no choice but to say goodbye to him, hoping that she would soon see him again.

Her niece was impatient to meet Supergirl and they had waited until her birthday to do it, so at that time they were all in the DEO, she was out of reach of the little one so that she could not recognize her, which had caused the kid to ask about her whereabouts.

"Are you ready?" Alex asked her daughter, who only nodded. "Supergirl," she called.

She could see how her niece's face changed when she saw her, all the emotion visible on her face as she began to jump before running towards her, which made her pick her up.

"Nora!" Alex yelled when she saw her throw herself into her arms that way.

"I've been told it's your birthday" she looked at her niece, who nodded slightly with a smile. "How old are you?" she asked, noting how the kid showed her three fingers. "Three..., wow, you're a big girl" She commented making her tickles, which made the little girl laugh. "By the way, I like your suit" she told her.

"It's like yours" the little girl smiled.

"I know, sweetie," she laughed lightly before leaving her on the floor to play with her for a while.

The little one insisted on seeing her make use of each and every one of her powers before asking if she could fly with her, so she needed Alex's approval before holding her niece and flying around the room, listening to the laughter of the little girl.

"I've loved meeting you, Nora" she crouched down to say goodbye. "Ah, happy birthday, sweetie" she handed over the doll her niece had been asking for months.

"Thank you" the little girl hugged her. "How did you know?" she asked.

"Maybe someone told me" she shrugged her shoulders looking at her sister, who laughed. "We'll see each other soon, okay?" She said goodbye watching her nod.

"Goodbye, Supergirl" she heard the little girl say, which made her smile, because she loved the reaction that the little girl had had.

It seemed a lie and as much as it cost her to believe it, it had been a year since the little ones came into her life, since she became a mother and since she promised that no one would harm her daughters. However, there was something that was missing, rather someone, because Mon-El had not arrived on time and, the truth is, she was not sure that he would do it, so, no matter how hard it was to celebrate the birthday of the twins without him, she had to do it.

She smiled at little Elara, who was standing in her crib with a big smile on her face as she asked her to pick her up, so she approached to pay attention to her demands. Once with her daughter in her arms she looked out at Vega's crib, who was still asleep, the old ways never changed.

"Happy birthday, sweetie" she kissed Elara's forehead before sitting her on the highchair. "Are you hungry, baby?" she asked with a smile, watching her daughter smile while accepting the bottle that she was offering her.

"Mamma!" She heard Vega call her, which made her approach the room in her search, finding the baby girl sitting in the crib with her little arms stretched out towards her.

"Hi, little one," she smiled, picking her up. "Happy birthday, baby," she kissed her cheek before hugging her tightly against her.

She sat her on the highchair beside her sister, noticing how Elara offered her bottle to her sister, wanting to share it with her, which Vega happily accepted. This fact made her smile, because every day that passed she had the opportunity to see how their daughters grew side by side, helping each other as much as they could, sharing everything between them as if they were sad to think that their sister did not had it, honestly, the relationship they shared was magical.

She had allowed her sister to help her with the preparations for the party, although the truth was that rather than helping her, Alex had prepared it, which had taken some weight off her, since it had helped her focus in the little ones and in being Supergirl during these last days.

The tranquility lasted only a few seconds, because Elara claimed back the bottle that she had given to her sister after noticing that Vega had one placed in the highchair, which had made her turn and grab Vega's arm, who smiled putting the bottle away from her sister's reach.

"Hey, Vega, that's not nice" she said getting her daughter to look at her. "Give it to your sister, sweetie" she asked her, noticing how the little girl was giving it to her sister resignedly. "Good job, little monster" she kissed her forehead.

When they finished having breakfast, she sat them on the floor with their toys looking to distract them for a while, but this fact was somewhat difficult, since since both of them crawled they used to appear everywhere and, usually, opposed to complicate more the fact that she could find them at the same time.

It did not surprise her not to find Elara sitting next to her sister, but not finding her anywhere in the room, which started to alter her before she could avoid it.

"Where is your sister?" She asked picking up the little one, because she did not trust leaving her alone.

Vega pointed towards the room as if she was indicating that her sister was in there, so she moved stealthily without knowing what the little girl would have done in her absence. However, she could not prevent the tears from crowding in her eyes after seeing Elara standing, walking from one side to the other.

"You are walking!" she crouched down to meet her and prevent her from falling. "Since when do you walk?" She questioned while the younger one was pulling in her arms with a big smile on her face. "Now I will not be able to control you, baby" she kissed her forehead incorporating with both girls in arms.

She sat them inside a playpen in an attempt to prevent them from escaping, but she only managed to get both girls to start crying by reaching out for her to take them. As much as it hurt to hear them cry that way, she needed to do so in order to finish having breakfast and prepare herself.

After preparing them, she went to the DEO, where her sister was waiting for her, who did not want to give her the address of the birthday party, so without wanting to discuss it for longer, she ended up listening to her. Alex led her to one of the rooms, holding her in the door for a few seconds before allowing her inside.

Everyone was there, even the one who that was not going to do it, so she could not help crying when she saw him moving towards them.

"I thought you wouldn't come" she could not help saying at the same time that she hugged him.

"It was a surprise" he laughed separating from her before they both crouched in front of the stroller. "Hello, little monsters, you are really big" he tickled them, getting them to laugh.

"It's daddy, little ones" she pointed out getting both girls to observe him with precision, Vega stretching her little arms towards him while calling him.

"Hey, baby" Mon-El held her, kissing her forehead.

The little ones enjoyed the attention they were receiving from everyone there while she turned her attention to the two small pots that were next to the gifts, knowing perfectly who had brought them. She stroked the leaves of the Dar'Essa flowers with her fingertips as she watched them, which made her not realize that Mon-El had approached her again.

"How have been these months?" he asked, to which she shrugged.

"They have grown and changed a lot" she looked at him finding pain in his eyes. "Elara has started walking and Vega already speaks, it's amazing how each day they learn something new" she commented with a slight smile.

"I want to come back and every day my motivation is to return to your side, but I have to wait a little longer" he explained almost threatening to start crying. "I promise I'll do it" he hugged her kissing her forehead.

"I have no doubt about it, Mon-El," she smiled, resting her head on his shoulder, no matter how much time passed, she was going to wait for him.

Mon-El returns to leave again.
