Lena's heart ruptured with pure joy at Kara's gentle demand, she wanted to say yes more than anything else in the world, but she wasn't sure Kara wouldn't regret marrying her within a few weeks.
"Kara… You just told me three months ago that you didn't even see yourself with a future. Why would you want to marry me now?"
Kara smiled and kissed Lena's nose. "Because now when I see my future, I see myself writing, saving the world, spending time with Alex, and sharing it al with you. I see myself coming home from work and making love to you in our jacuzzi tub before bed. I see birthdays and holidays spent with you, kissing you, holding you, loving you. So, put my ring back on your beautiful left ring finger, and spend a Kryptonian lifetime with me."
Lena was overwhelmed with euphoria, so the only thing she could do was shakily comply. She took her tremoring hand, and reached into her left pants pocket, pulling out the ring that she'd been carrying with her everywhere for the past five months.
The green life-prolonging rock that was in the center of the band still shined brightly when it hit the light, and Kara smiled. "May I?" She asked as she reached out her open palm.
Lena swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded as she placed the ring she loved dearly into Kara's waiting palm.
"Will you marry me, Lena Kieran Luthor? Will you marry me and let us spend the rest of our lives together?"
Lena let out a happy sob because the last time she heard those words they'd been demolished only four weeks later. "Yes!"
Kara smiled from ear to ear as she slid the ring onto Lena's ring finger. "I love you," Kara whispered. "I love you; I love you, I love you."
Lena gripped Kara like her life would leave her body if she ever let go. "I love you more, Kara Zor-El. I love you and only you. Forever."

Their first kiss as Wife and Wife was glorious. Alex, Eliza, Winn, and James were all there to witness their vows and were currently clapping like idiots for them as they kissed.
They were sitting in pews inside the Municipal Building. It wasn't a church, it wasn't some fancy venue, but Lena didn't care. To make it official all she needed was Kara and a witness, and that was all she craved… Kara to officially be her wife.
The kiss deepened when Kara stuck her tongue into Lena's mouth, and Lena moaned into it, in front of everyone; which would be slightly embarrassing any other day but this one.
"WOO! That's my sister!" Alex whistled from her pew, causing Kara to laugh into the kiss.
Lena didn't mind though, because Kara was hers again, Kara was her wife now; and most importantly, Kara was happy. Those three things were all she could ever wish for.
They pulled apart seconds later, and Kara grinned at her wife. "I'm going to make you do a whole lot of that later." She crooned, causing Lena and the Officiant to blush.
Lena smiled through her embarrassment. "I'm looking forward to it, Darling."

It'd been a year since everything had happened. Lena and Kara had been living their lives in bliss, Alex had been dating, everything had been going swell… Until Kara got a call that changed their lives forever.
Sam.
Sam had had an accident, a terrible one. She'd been forced into an induced coma, and they weren't sure that if she woke up, she would be able to walk again.
The first person Kara told was Alex, who's face drained of color as she shakily ran to her car and drove straight to the hospital. Lena knew that Alex still loved Sam, she was just too angry to face that.
Lena still cared for Sam, she did, but she was furious with the woman too… However, she didn't wish Sam dead.

A month later, Lena and Kara walked into Sam's hospital room to see Alex waiting by Sam's bed side. Just as Lena was about to ask how the doctors said Sam was doing, eyes that hadn't opened in a month, squinted and then cracked.
"A-Alex?"
Alex's head shot up. "Sam!?"She asked hopefully.
Sam smiled shyly. "Hi."
"Hi!" Alex laughed tearfully. "You gave us one hell of a scare."
"I scared you? I thought… I thought that you hate me." Sam admitted, tears brimming her eyes.
Alex shook her head. "I don't. I was just so furious with you. You risked my sister's life, Sam! You went behind my back! I can't lose Kara, but when I heard the news about your accident, I realized that I couldn't lose you either."
Sam swallowed audibly. "What about that Kate woman? I thought that you two were-."
"Done." Alex interrupted. "She and I are done, Sam."
"S-So you want me again?" Sam asked, hope evident in her voice.
Alex smiled. "More than anything."
Two Years Later
It had been an exhausting day, Lena had five meetings with separate board members, all who were reluctant to be bought out, but Lena was adamant that she wanted full control of her company, and now that she had it within arm's reach, she wasn't about to lose it…
She opened the door to her apartment to the smell of her favorite Greek dish, Moussaka. She hummed delightedly as she placed her purse and keys on the dining room table and entered the kitchen.
She saw her wife humming contentedly at the stove as she placed a few more ingredients into a pan ad the Moussaka baked in the oven. "I love you more than anything." Lena avowed as she wrapped her arms around Kara's waist.
Kara pushed herself into Lena. "Because of the food, or because of my enchanting personality?" she asked teasingly.
Lena giggled. "Why not both?"
Kara turned around, and pushed Lena up against the counter and slammed their lips together. Lena moaned out in satisfaction momentarily before they were rudely interrupted.
"UGH! God, get a room you two!" Alex called as she entered the room carrying a diaper bag, next to Sam who was holding their newborn son.
"This whole house is ours," Kara interjected before she pulled away from Lena and walked over to hold her nephew.
Lena smiled as she watched Alex kiss her wife lovingly, and then watched as her own beautiful Kryptonian wife doted over their nephew, and she felt at peace.
She'd never dreamed that a Luthor could find a happy ending, but then she laughed as she remembered… she wasn't a Luthor anymore.
