Alex groaned at the sound emanating from the table and was about to curse and get vey stroppy when she felt an arm snake over her body and reach for the phone. Alex's heart leapt forward at a million beats per minute, not only was Lena casually leaning over her to grab a phone like it was the most natural thing in the world, she had stayed the night in her arms and was now smiling softly, eyes still closed, hand searching for the phone. Alex smiled placing the phone into Lena's hand and placed a small kiss on her nose. "it's both a surprise and a pleasure to see that you are still here Lena, I almost expected to wake up without you in my arms, this is much more preferable"

Lena opened her eyes and when the amazing emerald orbs became transfixed on Alex's eyes she knew that this was the only acceptable way to start her day. Smiling she leaned forward and kissed Alex softly then resting their foreheads together she spoke, somewhat raspy and lower than normal due to just waking up, which Alex found adorable. "Good morning agent Danvers, I can honestly say I have never slept better or woken up feeling safer, I may have to keep you ..." Lena literally couldn't remember a night where she had shared a bed with someone let alone a couch and had any sleep, and sleeping in her bed alone had never been so restful as last night. She was truly comfortable and happy in the arms of Alex, and although it was scary, she wasn't frightened, and although it was appeared quick she wasn't nervous, she had known Alex for three years and all she could think was that she wished she had managed to get here sooner, because she was starting to think that there was no amount of time in this woman's arms that would satisfy her. "...indefinitely"

Alex smiled and looked annoyed a little as Lena's phone stopped and hers almost immediately started ringing, she knew it was Kara that was Kara's ring tone and she took a sharp intake of breath realising that if she didn't answer Kara would most assuredly appear. She looked at Lena apologetically kissed her softly before clicking the phone. "yes kara, I am still coming... I am just getting in the shower now... not I don't need you to come get me... we do this every Saturday, I know... yes, I will be there... yes normal time... yes I know... yes ok... Kara calm down and take a breath... I am coming to Noonans for our normal Saturday brunch you are more than welcome to bring Kate, I don't need a lift but if you don't let me get in the shower I will indeed be late... love you too Kara, see you soon." Alex looks up to see possibly the cutest thing she has ever seen, Lena Luthor hands over her mouth eyes wide, tears running down her face as she giggles uncontrollably on the couch. Alex's heart falters and her breath hitches in her chest, she mutters "indefinitely"

Lena stopped laughing as she heard Alex speak and was in that moment so blissfully happy, she knew that there was no way that this was one sided and that Alex, was going to be the one, the first and the last of every day, the one that would always be there and protect her. Her phone pulled her from her revelry and demanded attention, it was Kara and she smiled nodding, as Alex mouthed the question. "Kara, no you didn't wake me it is fine...all right Kara your rambling and adorable as I find it, how about I just meet you at Noonans and you can ramble there... yes I saw the text that is how I knew what you wanted and I was about to reply... yes see you there Kara" Alex stood looking at Lena mouth open a little, she had managed to get the entire call done in half the time and without half the effort. Oh in future she thought to herself, Lena is always taking Kara's calls. " do you need a lift to yours to get changed?" Lena smiled and walked forward, "I could just borrow something, of yours, if your happy with people knowing your dating a Luthor?"

Alex's jaw went slack wasn't it Lena who had suggested that there be a period where no one knew, that they didn't tell Kara about it, I mean Alex had agreed and wanted to ensure that Lena was comfortable with it but it was definitely her idea. "Lena are you sure? Because if you are I can tell you that I have no issue with anyone knowing I am dating you, you are definitely not a Luthor, you are Lena. You are a so clever and intelligent that I fail to keep up with you, even you on a lazy Saturday afternoon, you are so quick and smart and sassy that I get whiplash from your snappy comebacks and changes of direction, you are so strong and courageous, stubborn and fierce, that I think nothing could break you, then I see you sitting on my couch crying with laughter and I see that you are soft, and loving and cute. You have a heart so pure that it shines so brightly I fail to look directly at it, you care so deeply and I am stunned by you. You help anyone who asks and put everyone before yourself, you do it all for no reward and you are just so beautiful Lena, inside and out, you're no ordinary woman, and no ordinary Luthor"

When Alex finished speaking she looked up at Lena biting her lip, she wasn't one for such an out pour of emotion or sharing that much of how she felt with anyone. When her eyes fixed on Lena are her heart felt like it was breaking and she rushed over to her. Taking her face in her hands, and begging the beautiful crying goddess on her couch to tell her what was wrong, peppering her face with small kisses and wiping away the tears. Alex was terrified her eyes wide, had she said something wrong, she began running over everything she said, was there something that she said wrong, like before was Lena going to leave? Lena could see Alex was panicking and placed her own hands either side of Alex's face searching her eyes for a spark of Alex to call back to her. "Alex that was beautiful, no one has ever said things like that to me, I am not sad, I have never been this happy, you make me happier than I ever thought possible, I love you Alex"

It was Lena's turn to panic, she had not planned on saying that, and she knew that it was way too soon, that she was already messing it up. In that moment there was nothing else that she could have said that would have been truer, she loved everything about Alex and had fallen for her deeply, it was just terrifying to have said it. The words registered with Alex and her whole body melted, her face softened all the worry gone in an instant. Leaning forward she claimed Lena's soft lips and kissed her with all the love that Alex had for the raven goddess that had stolen her heart. "I love you too, Lena, for a while actually, in case that gushing ramble that even Kara would be proud of, wasn't enough to confirm it" Lena melted right back into Alex and they held each other in that tender embrace soft lingering kiss, slow burning and passionate until they were forced to part to breath.

They both got dressed, Alex handing Lena a shirt of hers to wear, it looked a little odd with the tailored black trousers and heels but she thought Lena looked amazing. They walked into Noonans and headed up to the booth holding hands, and could see Kate looking at them. She had a small grin on her face and was clearly trying to get Kara to pay attention.

"I mean it Kate this is ridiculous, they are so perfect for each other, they are both so amazing and wonderful and deserve to be happy...(Kate tried to interject and warn Kara) I mean since I found you and am just so happy I want that for them both you know, Lena has never really had anyone to love her, she is so amazing and wonderful she deserves the world...(Kate tried again, looking a little uncomfortable and apologetically at Lena) you know that if there was chemistry between us I would have spent my life ensuring that she was loved and that no harm ever came to that beautiful soul of hers...(Kate tried a third time) you know the only person in the world that I would trust with Lena's heart is Alex, My amazing and protective beautiful sister, she has given up everything in her life to protect me, she never thinks she is good enough which is ludicrous because the only person in this world that I love more than my sister is you, and the only person that is good enough for my sister is the amazing Lena, they are perfect for each other and I will make them see it I cannot believe that the set up didn't work... "(Finally Kate just lent across the table and kissed Kara, it appeared that this was the only way to shut her up at the current time)

Being cut off this way was probably Kara's favourite way to be cut off in all the world, in fact it was the only way Kara found it acceptable to be cut off especially mid rant. Alex let out a small cough once the kiss started to look more like foreplay and less like a tool to get Kara to shut up, Alex was not interested in seeing the show. Kara looked around at the two women who were stood there, Lena a little red and embarrassed and Alex a little disturbed by the display. "oh Rao, I am sorry how long have you been there, I mean it doesn't matter I didn't say anything bad it's all true, every word I just want to know that your both happy and have someone, and well you would be perfect together if you were not so stubborn and would open your eyes and see what is right there in front of you." Kate was shaking her head, she had tried to tell Kara that it was already a thing that she knew it from the night they had slipped out, but Kara wouldn't listen, then the date Alex had planned that had Kara in a dither and caused the scavenger hunt, she was sure was meant for Lena and now Lena was in one of Alex's shirts holding Alex's hand and her crazy fiancé was rambling.

Kara took a breath and Alex went to interject but she started again, "look Alex, Lena I know you probably think that I am just interfering and that I should probably just shut up but I am going to be getting married and I didn't want to be doing that and being so over the moon, when my two favourite people in the world who are perfect for each other are alone because they literally won't open their damn eyes, and now you're making me curse, and this is entirely unacceptable" Kara's voice trailed off as her speech slowed and her mouth flopped open. Lena had literally just grabbed Alex and kissed her, not a little kiss either, for public that was definitely over stepping some major boundaries. Kara's jaw slack and her eyes impossibly wide. At the cessation of the talking Lena pulled back and Alex was left with a massive goofy grin. "Congratulations Kara now can we sit down I am starving" Lena said very matter of fact and Kate slid in next to her closing her mouth.

Lena and Alex had arrived back a little early and were leaning on the wall outside the children's room. The tale of Kara and her perfect set up had changed a little over the years, Kara being less annoying and troublesome and much more the hero. The children often asked for the story from her when she was babysitting, all five of the cousins loved the story, and little Keiran was now old enough that he was asking questions. They had been married nearly seven years Kara and Kate nearly nine, and they always made sure that they had one date night a week taking care of all the children so the other couple still had time. Alex and Lena listened.

"and that is how your genius aunty Kara managed to create the perfect set up and get your two mommy's together." Kara finished the story. Kieran looked at her confused, "so Mommy didn't know she liked momma, and momma didn't know she liked mommy? But you did?" Kieran looked confused "yes sweetie, because I am so clever I could see it and I knew they were perfect for each other and made a plan to get them together" Kara smiled brightly and Kieran just looked at her. "That can't be right no one is cleverer than my mommy". Kara scowled at the door she could hear Lena laughing softly, and then she softened. When she heard Alex say "Lena our boy loves you as much as I do, I told you never to worry, Kieran looks at you like you hung the stars"
