Alex was at work, trying concentrate on what she was supposed to be doing but all she could think about was yesterday afternoon and those glorious hours she'd spent with Maggie. "Alex," J'onn said. He'd been trying to get the woman's attention for some time but she was seriously in a world of her own. "Alex….Alex…Alex." J'onn shouted, Alex jumping in fright.

"What, sorry?" Alex looked up at him, her hand going onto her chest to compose herself from the fright.

"The file on Vexor," J'onn pointed to it and Alex picked it up and walked over, handing it to him. "You're a bit distracted today." J'onn noted. He obviously knew why she was distracted and offered her time off work but Alex had refused.

"No, no," Alex shook her head as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "I'm fine. What do you want me to do with Vexor?" Alex wondered. He'd just been captured by Supergirl, a rouge Alien terrorising the citizens of National City.

"Leave him in the cell until we know more about him." J'onn replied and Alex gave a curt nod, obeying her orders.

"Uhm….hi." Alex and J'onn both looked around as they heard the voice.

"Maggie." J'onn gave her a smile. He must admit it was lovely to see her alive and well.

"Hey J'onn," Maggie waved her hand up at him before she looked to Alex. She gave her a smile before taking a deep breath. "I was hoping that you weren't so busy that we could go grab some lunch." Maggie said, taking a couple of steps further into the room.

"And why would I do that?" Alex questioned, folding her arms across her chest, like she was building a defence around herself.

"I…." Maggie looked down. "I just thought after yesterday that -"

"What?" Alex scoffed. "You gave me an orgasm so you think all is forgiven?" Alex questioned, her stance not changing.

"I eh…." J'onn cleared his throat. "I'll leave you to it." J'onn sounded embarrassed as he made a quick exit from the room, leaving Maggie and Alex to talk.

Maggie pursed her lips as she looked back to Alex. "I don't know what you want from me, Alex." Maggie threw her hands up to the side, feeling defeated. She'd apologised and explained as much as she could. All she could do now was wait for Alex to decide what would happen now that she was back.

"I don't know," Alex answered quietly. "I….I'm hurt," Alex didn't look at Maggie as she spoke. She looked down as she played with her hands. "Words can't describe how much I love you," Alex finally made eye contact with Maggie. "And it killed me when I was told you were dead. If it wasn't for Isaac I don't even know if I would still be here right now. That is how much I wanted to be with you, Maggie." Alex had never told anyone that before. Not even Kara.

"Alex," Maggie spoke softly as she took a step forward and tentatively placed her hand onto Alex's arm. "I'm here now," Maggie told her. "And I didn't make this easy for Ty. You ask him," Maggie retorted. "But," Maggie pursed her lips. "I came back because I need you to be in my life. You and Isaac, Alex, I'm back and I'm here and I know we can get back what we had, because what we had…." Maggie trailed off. "You don't see this kind of love every day."

Alex had to agree with what Maggie was saying. She bit her lip as she looked into her big beautiful eyes. She loved her so much and she wanted to be able to take her back, but right now, something was stopping her. "I….yesterday shouldn't have happened," Alex cleared her throat as she pulled away, Maggie's hand slipping from her arm. "It was a mistake."

"No, Alex," Maggie replied back quickly. "It wasn't. Yesterday wasn't a mistake. It was amazing and beautiful and….it felt so right," Maggie said, her eyes all wide, a hint of sadness in them as Alex was rejecting her. "Please. I know that you want this. I know that -"

"I can't." Alex spoke over Maggie, looking away from her.

Maggie could see Alex's eyes glossing over. She fought back the urge to cry herself, before deciding to move on from the subject of their relationship right now, she knew she wasn't going to get anywhere with it today. "What about Isaac?" Maggie questioned. "I want to see him."

"No," Alex shook her head. "I'm not….I…...no." Alex stuttered as her tone hardened.

"He is my son," Maggie raised her voice as she banged her hands down on the desk, causing a loud bang to echo around the room. "I have a right to see him. I….can you imagine not being able to see him? Can you imagine if this situation was reversed and I wouldn't let you see him?" Maggie questioned. "I would never do that to you." Maggie told her, her hands keeping a grip on the edge of the desk.

Alex bit her lip. She couldn't imagine not being with Isaac. Not being able to see him every day. She knew no matter what happened between the two of them that Isaac deserved to have Maggie in his life. "I uhm….I still need to tell him you're not dead. I don't know how too…." Alex stopped talking, looking back to her wife.

"We could tell him together?" Maggie suggested. She was bursting to see her son again.

"No," Alex answered sharply. "I need to tell him this before he sees you."

"Okay," Maggie was disappointed but she wasn't going to argue over this. Alex had the upper hand right now and Maggie had to go along with it. "Well when do you think that it could happen?" Maggie questioned. "I can't be without him any longer," Maggie told her. "Please, Alex. You must understand."

"Tomorrow," Alex pursed her lips. She spoke quietly, her arms still folded across her chest and didn't make eye contact with Maggie. "I'll tell Isaac tonight and tomorrow we can…." Alex paused, biting her lip. "He has a friends Birthday Party in the early afternoon but that should be all done by around 2pm," Alex told her, Maggie giving a curt nod of understanding. "We can meet you just after at City Park?"

"Yes…uhm…yeah, yeah, that sounds great." Maggie tried her hardest not to sound too exited but she couldn't help herself. The thought of seeing her boy was just too much.

Alex gave a weak smile. "Well I need to get back to work but we…we'll see you tomorrow." Alex said and Maggie gave a little nod before she reluctantly left the room, the smile on her face only growing larger at the thought of getting to see her son.

Mike waked into the loft, surprised to see Kara already home. "Hey, what are you doing here so early?" Mike wondered as he threw his keys on the side table before walking over to the couch and placing a quick peck on Kara's cheek as he sat down next to her. They'd agreed not to talk about the Alex and Maggie situation, not wanting to let it come between them.

"I uhm," Kara played nervously with her hands. "I took your advice."

"What advice?" Mike questioned, rubbing the back of his head as he looked a little confused.

"The advice where you told me to quit my job," Kara responded. "I did it. I quit."

"Oh wow," Mike widened his eyes. He'd didn't think Kara would actually go through with it. She'd been complaining about Snapper for years and never ever did anything about it no matter how many times he suggested she quit. "You actually quit?"

"You told me too." Kara threw her hands out as her voice went a higher pitch.

"Yeah but I've told you like a million times to quit and you haven't," Mike retorted. "I didn't think you'd actually do it and if you were going to I thought you would have had something else lined up first."

"Yeah well I kinda acted on impulse as he annoyed me so much today," Kara sighed. "What do I do now, Mike?" Kara questioned. "Ah maybe I should just go back apologise." Kara stood up from the couch.

"No," Mike reached out and took a hold of Kara's wrist, stopping her from moving any further. "This is a good thing," Mike assured her as he pulled her down onto his knee, wrapping her arms around her waist. "You can branch out and find a boss who will respect you and let you write about the stuff that's important to you."

Kara rubbed her forehead as she sighed. "Yeah, you are right," Kara turned slight on his knee and wrapped her arms around his neck, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "Someone out there will give me a job, right?"

"Of course," Mike answered. "They'd be silly not too." Mike said before kissing Kara, the kiss quickly becoming more intense. He lifted her around so she was back on the couch before he straddled over her, the kiss only becoming more and more passionate.

Alex was watching Isaac as he was building something with his legos. She'd tried all night to tell him about Maggie but she just ended up freezing up every time she went to talk. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was already after Isaac's bedtime although it was a Friday night so Alex wasn't as strict with his bedtime routine. Alex didn't send him to Eliza's this week, needing to be close to her son, and of course tell him about Maggie. "Buddy come here for a moment." Alex spoke softly and Isaac did as he was told, jumping up from the floor and running over to the couch, climbing up next to his mother.

"What Mummy?" Isaac questioned, looking up to her, his big dark brown eyes all wide.

Alex took a deep breath as she lightly brushed her thumb over her son's cheek. "You know Mumma?" Alex questioned, before thinking that was a silly way to start it. Of course Isaac knew his Mumma.

"Yeah," Isaac answered. "She's is in heaven."

Alex smiled weakly as she once again rubbed his cheek. "Well," Alex took another deep breath, pausing to compose herself. "That's the thing buddy," Alex said. "Mumma isn't in heaven," Alex said the words slowly. She still couldn't believe Maggie wasn't actually dead. She'd never imagined ever having to say this to her son, especially after spending so long trying to get him to understand her death in the first place. "Mumma is…" Alex paused as she looked at Isaac face, Isaac furrowing his eyebrows in confusion. "She got into a bit of trouble at work one night and there were some very bad men," Alex told him, trying to explain it in the best possible way for her four-year-old to understand. "Mumma had to pretend to be dead so the bad men wouldn't hurt any of us."

Isaac furrowed his eyebrows even more. "Mumma isn't in heaven?" Isaac questioned, wonder in his sweet little voice.

"No." Alex shook her head as she once again rubbed her son's cheek.

"What 'bout the bad men?" Isaac wondered. "Where they 'bout now?"

"They have gone to jail," Alex told him. "So Mumma is safe again. She doesn't need to pretend anymore."

Isaac scratched the side of his head. "The bad men are locked up forevers?"

"They are." Alex nodded in response.

"Is Mumma here?" Isaac suddenly sounded excited as his eyes darted all around the room.

"She's….she back," Alex said. "She wants to see you tomorrow."

Isaac shrieked with delight as he jumped up to standing on the couch. "Really, truly Mummy?"

Alex felt emotional at her son's reaction. "Really truly," Alex nodded, taking Isaac by the arms and holding him still from jumping on the couch. "Would you like to see her again?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," Isaac shouted in his excitement, his little body shaking. "I miss Mumma too much."

"I missed Mumma too." Alex swallowed a lump in her throat as she felt her eyes welling up with tears. Isaac looked down her and gave her a soft smile as he wiped his little thumbs over her eyes, removing the tears that wanted to fall.

"It was just pretend Mummy," Isaac said, holding his little hands against her cheeks. "Mumma is back." Isaac kissed Alex's lips. Alex wrapped her arms around her son, holding onto him tightly. She could feel his heart beating against her chest, feel the excitement pour out of him at the thought of seeing his Mumma again. She placed a soft kiss on his temple before she smiled to herself, her too glad she was going to be seeing Maggie again.
