Chapter 12

Lena leaned back at her desk, the to go sushi burrito waiting for her still wrapped , untouched though within her reach. Twenty seven open tabs and each one of them help the potential answer in Lena's anxious eyes that darted across lines faster than she could truly read them. Her fingers clicked faster and faster trying to understand, trying to fathom what caused her omega so much pain, unable to see any semblance of a forest for taking a magnifying glass to each individual leaf, branch and root, attempting to determine the rings the tree had in its entirety rather than see what it made when combined with its brethren. Each and every tab she devoured the text of was about complications in alphas, alphas presenting, alphas going feral, how to prevent alphas from going feral and so on. None of them spoke anything about alphas who disliked or wished to remove their cock. None gave stedfast answers as to how to save a feral alpha . Lena grew more and more activated with each failure, each one pushing her forward towards an abyss of fear, doubt all consuming, that which in her own mind represented giving up, yielding, forfeiting on that which is most precious to her, her omega.

Lena began searching how to protect, how to save, how to comfort.. "My omega… " The words spilled from her lips as it processed, an immediate complete understanding, seeing the Forest In its entirety, Ben Franklin with a key and a kite and she saw it right …. there, her answer . It allowed her first sigh of relief and earned her the right to unwrap the burrito as she headed back to her car, speeding back to her girl, her omega.

"Hey Alex? " Maggie entered slowly, weary of upsetting either Kara or Alex. "Hey baby" Alex called from inside the cage.

"Alex! What the hell are you doing!? " Maggie wanted to yell and scream and throw things but stopped herself, instead biting her tongue.

"Yes love? " Alex played with Kara's hair, the omega's head in her lap, a blanket covering the still naked Kara, the shreds of her clothes under them still.

"Get out of there now! Before you get hurt! " Maggie ordered angry and scared.

"Shhh. Calm down Magg. " Alex sushed.

Maggie's head almost exploded. "I. Uugh! Grr! "

"Oh calm down! " Alex dismissed.

"She hurt you! Almost killed me! Broke Lena's! " Maggie caught herself before she took off to the sky like a rocket, steam shooting from her ears as she attempted to control herself.

"Don't wake her. She is resting. She needs this Maggie. " Alex answered like it was a reason to stay in there with her.

"Alex! " Maggie stepped forward a cold calculating calm consuming her mannerisms.

"Relax. "

"Alex! I.. " Maggie paused. "Get out now! "

"No. " Alex insisted.

"Alex! " Maggie approached the glass, ready to break through it herself.

"No! "Alex repeated.

"Alex! You are pregnant! " Maggie snapped.

"I.. I.. " Alex stammered. "You know? "

"Oh please your false heat is more obvious than missing seven consecutive missed periods and a belly bump bigger than my head! " Maggie answered.

"Well. I already knew. And Kara does too. " Alex smiled, kissing her sister's forehead.

"I.. You know? You.. You know, and you went in there anyway!? " Maggie was prepared to murder.

"Yes. And I'm fine. She will be ok. She is still feral.. For now. But my sister is still in there. " Alex assured, keeping Kara close. Soothing the omega slowly Alex ran her hands over and down Kara's back, calming her, and ensuring she felt safe. "She will be there. To see our baby be born. To see her baby niece ot nephew. "

"I.. Congratulations baby. " Maggie sighed. Knowing she was already had lost any semblance of an a chance to win the argument or get Alex out from the cage with the feral alpha.

Alex giggled happily. "Congratulations to you. How's my alpha feel about being a mommy soon? "

"Mhmm? Grr? " Kara stirred as Alex's lap, awakened by the spontaneous laughter.

"Kara. It's just your sister. " Alex soothed as Kara popped up onto her hands and knees, the blanket covering her falling to the side.

"Oh god! Baby danvers! " Maggie turned away. "Full up in birthday suit!? "

"Oh… yeah.. Sorry she.. Well I didn't see her do it. But she shredded her clothes before I got back.. I googled it when she fell asleep. Apparently a lot of people do it if they go feral. She made a nest out of her clothes tho. " Alex explained, trying to guide Kara back to the ground and to resting her head in her lap.

"I. G.. Gr… mmmph.. " Kara stammered, turning back to her sister and nuzzling the belly where she could tell a new family member was growing.

"Awww. Kar.. " Alex purred, pulling her sister closer.

Maggie gave a sigh of relief knowing that Alex wasn't in danger. "Ok. So.. What do we do to help her now? "

"We wait. We wait for Lena. She is the one Kara needs now. " Alex answered certain .

"Ok.. Well I dropped her off about an hour ago. She has food and something to drink. Knowing her she will be right behind me as soon as she finds something out. "

"She doesn't need to find anything out. " Alex dismissed.

"what do you mean? "

"You can turn around now. She Is covered up again. " Alex offered tucking Kara In.

"I.. Thanks. Alex.. What do you mean?"

"I mean Lena doesn't need to figure anything out. She just needs to be Kara's alpha. "

"Huh? "

"Kara just needs what any other omega needs when they present. She needs her alpha, the woman she loves. "

"Alex! She isn't a-"

"Don't you fucking dare! " Alex snapped protective, already smelling the hidden scent of fear coming off her sister , knowing what it was from, a true fear of having to face the reality of her body, her existence, of being a biological alpha. "She isn't! " Alex growled softly, holding Kara close.

"I.. What the.. "

"She is an omega Maggie." Alex declared.

"I.. Ok. Fine. " Maggie rolled her eyes disbelieving.

"No! Maggie. " Alex made eye contact with her alpha. "She is an omega. "

"Ok. " Maggie nodded no longer fighting. "Thank you. " Alex held to her younger sister, worried for the omega still lost just under the surface, waiting to feel safe, to finally drop the guards her instincts mandated. "Your alpha will be here soon. She will protect you. " Alex promised, whispering into Kara's ear.

Kara purred, happy, pleased by the idea.

"There you go sis. "

"Are you ok baby? " Maggie made her way to the entrance of the cage.

"Yeah. I'm ok." Alex looked to her alpha.

"Can I come in? Or will that upset her? " Maggie was cautious as she reached for the door.

"Just be careful about your scent. Ok? " Alex requested. "The cell is unlocked. She was asleep when I finally came in. She has been calm. I think the scent of my pregnancy is helping. "

Maggie nodded, entering the cell. "Is she doing ok there? " maggie got down on her knees scooching over and extending a hesitant hand to caress Kara's head.

Kara purred softly, feeling the non threatening presence wishing to comfort her, appreciating the familiarity of those she saw as family.

"She.. She didn't flip out this time? " Maggie looked to Alex confused.

"Because she isn't scared. She has been scared or threatened each and every time she attacked. But now, she isn't. She knows we are only here to care for her. "

"Ah? " Maggie nodded softly, relaxing as it processed for her, understanding growing as she compared her own experience and when she would instinctual attempt to defend or fight. "I get it now. "

"How are you Maggie? " Alex tilted her head to rest upon her alpha.

"I'm better now I see my omega relaxed." Maggie kissed Alex's head.

"I love you Maggie. "

"I love you too. She will be ok." Maggie promised.

"I know. "

"So how are my pups? "

"Pups? Plural? " Alex giggled.

"Ohhh yes. I'm certain they will be twins. "

"Oh? You are sure? "

"Yes. I am. So how are they? " Maggie repeated.

"They are good. A Lot better now that we are all worried about my sister. " Alex yawned.

"Good good. Now. You deserve some rest too baby. You get some more sleep, we barely got a good nap earlier before Lena woke us up. "

"You do to! " Alex yawned again.

"I'm fine I will watch over you two. "

"I.. Ok baby. " Alex nodded tired, shifting to rest with Kara in the small nest, Cuddling her sister.

"Too cute you two. " Maggie hummed. Allowing them both to rest their heads in her lap.

"G.. G'night.. " Alex whimpered, holding Kara tight as her alpha watched over them. .
