A/N: Hey everybody! I hope everyone had a Holly Jolly Christmas! I just wanted to let everyone know that the agent responded! YES! Unfortunately my Query was unsuccessful. I hope that I can get my actual story out there. Sorry it's been so long. Life has been crazy. All done talking now.

"Amnesia is a common side effect from the technology that Non uses. There is no estimation on how long it will last." Astra explained.
"I'm so sorry, Kara. This wouldn't have happened if-"
"Alex, seriously. It's not your fault." I said.
"All we can do now is hope." Astra said. Max was asleep in the other room, completely confused about everything.
"What can I do?" I asked.
"You can attempt to help him remember. But with Non's technology, there's no telling what an antidote could be."
"I can try." I said.
I walked into the room where Max was asleep. I brushed the tips of my fingers along his smooth, lightly stubbled chin. His jawline was a hard as a rock. I only hoped he could be the rock and survive through the storm this time.
So many emotions came through me all at once. On one hand, I was scared. Scared that I had lost my best friend for now. I was also happy. Happy that he is here; safe and content. He may be confused, but he's safe-for now.
I have no doubts that something else will happen along the way. I know already that this is not the end of our problems. I had to get him back to tell him my answer.
He opened his eyes, and his topaz blue eyes looked back at me. But there was something missing in them. He was missing the love he once had. His love for me.
"Hi. Do I know you?" he asked smirking.
"You have amnesia so you don't remember me. But yes. My name is Kara. I'm your friend."
"I have a friend? Man, the times have changed."
"Well you are something. You've impacted my life more times than I can count. I mean, you made me who I am."
"I don't remember." he said looking down.
"I know."
"I'm sorry." he said. I put my hand over his head. He had no temperature. It was now that I realized he had a fever.
"I'm going to go get some medicine. Stay here, and don't move." I said.
I ran out to the bathroom to get some medicine. NyQuil and Cough medicine seemed to be the only things I had.
I ran out to the store, keeping Astra and Alex home with Max to watch him. I trusted them. I walked into the store, grabbing one of the red baskets that sat by the carts. I walked down the healthcare aisle and stopped when I saw the medication. I picked up Tylenol and Ibuprofen, throwing them into the cart.
I then made my way to get some bottled water, and some wipes. I hoped one day I would be down the baby aisle for another reason.
I left the store after paying, and ran as fast as I could back to Astra's apartment. When I got there I administered the amounts of Tylenol needed, and grabbed a bottle of water. When I went in to check on Max, he was kissing Alex.
"What are you doing?" I asked, looking at Alex.
"Alex told me she's my girlfriend. She said that you and I stopped being friends."
"No, Max. I'm your girlfriend. And this is my sister, trying to break us up again. I can't believe you Alex."
"I'm sorry, Kara. But he was irresistible."
"Wait, so you lied? You're not my girlfriend?"
"No. Kara is." Alex said.
"I just don't know who I can trust. Actually I do. I can trust Kara." he said, glaring at Alex. I was fuming. If Alex had stayed in one place for one more minute, I would have melted her head off.
But she didn't. Instead, she left, and I chuckled. For a DEO agent who could hurt someone a hundred different ways using her index finger, she was a coward in relationship issues.

Later, I was grabbing things from our house, hoping that it would trigger something. I could not lose my best friend and my boyfriend. I had to do something to get him back. I had to.
I came back to Astra's apartment, to find him asleep on the couch.
"Kara." he moaned in his sleep. I put down the items I had brought. I rushed to his side, and sat down next to him.
"I don't love her-I love Kara." he said, and I felt the tears come to my eyes.
"I don't love Alex. Alex-Danvers." My eyes widened. He remembered. He remembered her last name.
His eyes shot open, and he looked at me.
"Kara! I remember. I love you! I proposed to you, then Non took me, and tortured me. I didn't hear your answer." he said.
"I'm glad you're back!" I said, tearing up. He sank down to one knee, and pulled out the ring that remained in his pocket.
He opened it, and looked at it. As if inspecting it.
"Kara Zor-El Danvers," he said, and I teared up, "Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" he asked.
"YES! YES FOREVER!" I yelled jumping into his arms, and crying. I held onto him, and didn't let go. I wouldn't even let go if the apartment blew up...
We were going to sleep that night, and as Max laid his head down on the pillow, I sighed.
"What is it?" he asked, turning the light off.
"I almost lost you. We might not even be here today, celebrating our lives. I thought I'd never see you again." I said, and the tears I had been holding back for days, finally fell.
"Kara," he started, brushing my tears away, "You didn't lose me. I'm right here. I'll always be right here with you. Let's talk about something else."
"Okay." I said.
"Kara, do you want to have a family?"
"I've always wanted one, yes."
"Good. Because I want kids. I want kids so bad." he said, and I never really expected that from him.
"After we're married, I will give you as many as you want."
"Good, because I want fourteen." he said, smirking.
"Okay. What do we name them?" I asked.
"Maxine, Kory, Michelle, Kevin, Melissa, Kyra, Michael, Kayley, Mark, Kari, Marcus, Kelly, Max Jr and Kara Jr." he said, before bursting out laughing.
"Wow. You are messed up." I said.
"I'm just kidding, Kar. I've always wanted a little boy and a little girl."
"Well, I will make sure you get at least one of those." I said.
We spent the night happily enjoying each others' company. I fell asleep without any worries, and hopefully, the feeling would continue...
I walked into work, flaunting my ring to James and Winn. They shrugged and walked off. I was kinda depressed that they didn't say anything. I was ecstatic for James and Lucy when they got engaged.
Whatever. I walked into Miss Grant's office to deliver her coffee, and she saw my ring.
"Kiera! Who's the lucky man? Never mind, I know. You and Max." she said, the last part in a sing-song voice.
"Yes. He proposed last night." I said, even though it was only the partial truth.
"Well, as your friend, I'm happy for you." she said.
"Thanks. I expect you'll come to the wedding?"
"I'd be hurt as to not receiving an invitation. But I will be attending. Why don't you take the day off? Spend it with your man."
"Thanks Miss Grant."
"Have fun." she said winking.
I went back home, to find Max in the bedroom.
"Home so soon?" he asked.
"We get the whole day together now. Miss Grant gave it to us."
"I'll have to send her a gift basket." he said smiling, and motioning me to come sit with him. He grabbed my face gently, and kissed me on the lips. We continued this pattern until one thing led to another and...
