Chapter 25

Author's note: Sorry it's been a while ! Working on more regular updates!

Kara was hit with an intense sudden flush knocking her off of her ass almost immediately after the shot was administered. "I .. I.. oh .. fuck . What .. what's going on!?" Kara's breath rushed from her lungs.

"Hold on baby." Lena smiled . "It's gonna be ok, your heat is starting." Lena kissed Kara's forehead.

"I! Fuck ! Lena! You… you smell like… " Kara painted.

"You can mark this one down as a W" Lena looked to Alex.

"Yeah.." Alex agreed , a soft smile on her face.

"You ready to talk. " Lena offered the seeming lost omega as Kara began crawling atop her , burying her nose against Lena's scent gland.

"Fuuuck.. it's like .. vanilla.. mango.. and sex…. D… damnit.." Kara moaned softly.

"I know baby. You smell a lot sweeter now too." Lena patted the back of Kara's head, still focused on Alex.

"She… Maggie and I had a fight.." Alex admitted.

"Yeah you've said that already." Lena reminded.

"Ohhh God.. Lena.." Kara whimpered.

"That stuff was strong huh?" Alex interjected. "that.. is quite the heat she is heading into."

"You are deflecting Danvers." Lena glowered , Alex folding back into sobs immediately.

"Alex!" Kara perked up , distracted from Lena's scent , catching that of a family member in pain. Experiencing the scent as an omega was incredibly different for Kara than as an alpha . "I.. Alex!" Kara sniffled , the scent forcing a deeper access to empathy within her. "Fuck! Alex! You.. you are hurting!" Kara was overwhelmed completely with the obvious.

"I.. miss my alpha." Alex allowed herself to fall to the floor, curreling up and pulling her knees to her chest, crying.

"Al!" Kara screamed, hopping from the table to the floor with Alex, hugging her sister tight. "I… I.. it's gonna be ok! No .. no matter what happened. Maggie loves you." Kara comforted , nudging her sister caringly .

Lena knelt down to be eye to eye with them , worried for Alex , and more than aware that Kara wouldn't be much help aside from emotional support for awhile as her body grew accustomed to the new hormones. "what happened? Really. It will probably help to talk about it ."

"I.. it is so stupid. And.. I shouldn't have reacted so poorly." Alex shook her head.

"G.. guilty.." Kara whimpered, her sister's secent deafening and overwhelming her senses.

"Poor girl. " Lena caressed Kara's cheek.

"I know Kara. I.. thank you." Alex hugged back , able to tell Kara was doing her best to help.

"How short do you think my attention span is?" Lena teased Alex , knowing the omega was hoping to avoid her troubles as long as she could.

"She got mad. She got mad that I wasn't coming home, missing meals , that I wasn't taking care of myself well enough while I was pregnant. A.. and I snapped at her. I yelled at her and … I.."

"Alex. Your safe. It's ok." Lena comforted , noticing Kara cry into her sister , overwhelmed and scared.

"I screamed that It didn't matter if I took care of myself.. that she never really wanted kids anyway." Alex sniffled.

"You need to go talk to her Alex." Lena instructed.

"I… she came here.. yesterday before you did. I had security escort her from the premises and ordered them not to let her in. "

"Alex…"

"She tried to order me to stay home ! To not come in and help my sister! She should know how much Kara means to me. And.. I… she didn't want kids until.. until I told her I was pregnant. " Alex defended .

"She shouldn't have ordered you to do anything. You are your own person. But.. Alex. I have to admit. I understand. I'm not entirely logical when it comes to my omega either. So.. I can understand Maggie making a mistake like that. " Lena admitted.

Alex sniffled nodding. "I know.. I knew the second I left home and came back here. And .. she is right. You are right.. I am taking care of more than just myself. "

"Alex. You… you don't have to.. to keep it you know. " Lena offered scared of the idea , but firm in the belief that it was Alex's choice.

"I! No! Of course not!" Alex's head cleared immediately, completely focused on the ideation of ending her pregnancy.

"I mean it. It is your choice. If you need to . You can." Lena offered once more.

"No! No way in hell I want this so bad!" Alex looked down and rubbed her belly as Kara reached to do the same , crying with her sister, worried for her.

"Then what do you wanna do alex?" Lena offered the question.

"I want my alpha." Alex whimpered.

"Ok then ." Lena nodded picking Alex up easily and holding her in her arms.

"Lena ! What are you doing!" Kara whined almost jealous.

"Oh shhh Karr. I'm just taking her to her alpha." Lena leaned over and kissed Kara on the cheek.

"I! I! " Kara whimpered .

"I will give my omega whatever she needs later , once you are in your full heat. " Lena offered heading out.

"I! Full heat?" Kara looked down at her own belly , feeling a profound aching already.

"You are so cute that you think your heat has even come close to beginning ." Lena laughed leaving Kara to follow behind her.

Lena quickly loaded Alex into the car, the omega having almost immediately fallen asleep in Lena's arms , feeling safe and finally able to unwind after days of no sleep and worry. "Front with me or back with her baby?" Lena offered.

"I.. I love you. But.. I feel like my sister needs me , so I'm with her in the back ok?" Kara requested.

"Of course my love . Stay with your sister , it's ok. I love you. I'll have you all to myself soon enough." Lena kissed Kara and closed the backseat door for her before making her way back to the front seat.

Alex stirred softly as the door closed loudly. Her eyes barely fluttered opened for a moment before a whimper left her lips and she slumped over, laying her head in Kara's lap. "Mmm night night." Alex hummed , nuzzling her sister.

"Hey there Al. You doing ok?" Kara cooed back happily running fingers through her sister's short hair.

"You are a good sister Kara." Lena looked back through the rear view mirror.

"No. That's her. I'm.. just trying to keep up. " Kara disagreed softly , caring as best she could for her sibling.

"I promise. You are. I'd kill for lex to care as much as either of you do for each other. I'm really glad you two have one another." Lexa replied , pulling out , heading to Maggie and Alex's home , hoping Maggie wouldn't immediately murder her for having held her pregnant omega .

"I am also really lucky to have you , you know that right?" Kara looked up to Lena.

"I.. that isn't true." Lena shook her head believing her own words.

"Lena…"

"I love you Kara. I.. I'm just relieved I haven't lost you yet." Lena focused her eyes on the road , incapable of looking to Kara.

"Y..yet?"

"I . " Lena found no words.

"You expect me to leave you?" Kara felt a rush of uncontrollable emotions once more .

"I expect everyone to leave me Kara."

"No!" Kara sobbed.

"Kara. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

"How! How can you think that!?" Kara's face shook as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Because Kara. Everyone does! My mother, my father! My brother! All my friends! And even my step mother! From the day I was five and brought into the luthor home everyone has left! And I was all alone!"

"Lena.. I.. I will never leave you." Kara reached out a hand , taking Lena's hand tight.

"Kara.. those are nice words , but I've heard them so many times … They mean nothing."

"I will never leave you because you are my mate , my alpha , and you prove it every day. Even when I was completely lost , hurting others and almost completely ferrell, you were there , either by my side or attempting to help from afar. You never gave up on me, even when i was at my most hopeless, you protected me , your omega . " Kara explained.

"Of course i did Kara. I love you. And . Even if you had been an alpha I wouldn't have cared. Kara. You have my heart."

"And you have mine. And it isn't going anywhere. Neither am I. I love you. I am yours . I won't leave you." Kara comforted.

"Ok baby. I love you. " Lena sighed , not interested in furthering the argument. "We are here. "

"What do you want to do?" Kara asked redirecting her attention to the omega in her lap.

"You stay there with her , I will try to talk to Maggie."

"Ok baby." Kara agreed , pulling Alex closer, hugging her sister tight.

Lena headed to the front door of the house , knocking, easily able to scent the distressed alpha. She immediately could tell just how distraught Maggie must be, the scent was almost overwhelming as she stood awaiting an answer, the scent clear and thick .

"What!? Who's there! Grrr! Stay the fuck away!" Maggie roared , her voice hoarse.

"Maggie , it's Lena."

"Stay ! Away! It you aren't Alex I don't want to see you!"

"I.. Maggie , calm down before you work yourself feral!" Lena worried .

"I don't care!"

"Maggie! You can't mean that." Lena sighed .

"Yes I can! I lost my omega! Nothing matters without her! I.. she won't even let me come see her!" Audible thuds could be heard outside the home , originating from the home.

"What are you doing. And it's gonna be ok, now please open the door. "

"Nothing is going to be ok without her! Nothing!" Alex punched at the ground harder , wishing to feel anything but the emptiness of losing her lover.

"You haven't lost her. " Lena answered through the door.

"I! What!"

"I have her in my car. She misses you too. And to the best I can tell from her scent she still has the baby. But if she loses you I can't promise her system will be able to handle the grief and keep the baby. She needs her alpha." Lena knew the words would get Maggie's attention.

"You!? She… she is here?" the front door swung open to reveal Maggie looking worse than Lena had ever seen her , mascara days old running down her face , hair unkempt , eyes and nose red raw from crying and wiping away tears, her knuckles brown and red from new and old dried blood , uncared for wounds clearly painful

"Yes she is. And I thought you would appreciate the heads up before she walks in and sees you like this." Lena offered only to get shoved from the way as Maggie sprinted for the car in her driveway, bare feet pounding on rough pavement before she slammed against the passenger door against which Alex and Kara were leaning.

"Hey Maggie!" Kara smiled looking up from inside the car.

"Alex!" Maggie yanked at the car handle anxiously without the door budging.

"She is ok." Kara smiled looking back to her sister.

"Open the door Kara! Before I break it!" Maggie snapped.

"Geesh! Calm down!" Kara rolled her eyes , unlocking the door , and opening it for Maggie.

"Alex! Your ok!" Maggie pulled the omega from the car directly into her arms.

"I.. Maggie… alpha.." Alex stirred , feeling her alpha.

"That's it baby. I'm here. I.. I missed you."

"I missed you too baby. Are you ok?" Alex whimpered, feeling guilty.

"I.. I'm fine. I.. I missed you, I missed you so so bad Alex. I'm so sorry for everything." Maggie lowered get head to the omega.

"I'm sorry I overreacted. I love you."

"I…. Alex?" Maggie paused , trying to find the right words to use.

"What is it baby?" Alex wrapped understanding arms around the alpha.

"You know I want this baby right?"

"I.."

"That I want our cub more than anything in the world. And I want you happy." Maggie clarified what she feared was murky.

"I.. I knew on some level. But I was angry and .. in the heat of the moment I said things… that I regret. " Alex looked down and away .

"It's ok. I love you. I'm here ." Maggie comforted.

"Love you too." Alex purred into the embrace of her mate.

"It's time to get some sleep ok baby?" Maggie adjusted the omega in her arms , standing taller and heading back towards the home from which Lena had already begun walking back to the car.

"Thank you." Maggie nodded to Lena.

"Of course. You two take care ok?" Lena answered, rubbing her knuckles as a silent cue to Maggie to make sure that her wounds stayed clean .

"Hmm? What was that about love?" Alex perked up from her exhausted state.

"It's nothing baby." Maggie dismissed , kissing Alex's forehead.

"Ok baby." Alex cuddled closer into Maggie's arms.

"It go well?" Lena asked , ducking her head into the open back door of her car where Kara sat still.

"Yeah. I think it did. " Kara smiled wide.

"Wanna come up front , hold my hand as we drive home?" Lena held out a hand.

Kara nodded eagerly, taking Lena's hand , hugging close to her as she stood from the car.

"That's a girl." Lena praised , rubbing a hand along Kara's back.

"I!" Kara's spine straightened shocked .

"What is it love?"

"I! " Kara gulped . "Fuck.. my.. my. " Her breath hastened trying to keep up with herself.

"What baby?" Lena pressed , the scent hitting her and traveling straight to her cock .

"H… hot.. Soo.. hot.. my.. skin is burning, and … " Kara choked out.

"Oh baby.. your heat is beginning." Lena rested a warm palm against Kara's belly.

Kara purred instinctively, the warmth somehow heavenly against her burning skin. "Hmm a..a...alpha.."

"That's it. Relax. You need a heat pack for your belly , it will help. My roommate in college said it helped with her heat pains as it set in, before she was ready to take a knot. "

"K..k...k . Knot!" Kara whined in desperation , feeling the burn in her core , craving her mate , already able to see Lena tenting in her pants.

"Yes baby. Now.. please try to stop whining, cause … you're getting me hard love. "

"Getting?" Kara laughed, clutching to her belly , feeling a searing ache in her core .

"Yeah yeah. Now get in the damn car before my knot pops out here on the street!" Lena growled deep , knowing it would drive the omega to obey.

Kara nodded a heat building further within her , fogging her mind as she obeyed .

"It's gonna be ok. Your first heat is always the hardest. And .. the method of you coming upon it is surely not gonna help at all. " Lena tried to comfort, sitting down in the driver's seat next to Kara.

"My .. head feels.. all foggy.. I, still feel all hot and .. I.. fuck.. is this what being an Omega is like!?"

"Hey , hey. Breathe love. No. Not for the most part. The fogginess is a side effect. Omegas do have a hard time staying logical through heats , and it's commonly accepted not to engage in intercourse with an omega in heat without permission from before the omega entered heat. The extreme emotions, hugging to Alex and crying with her cause of her Scent, that is part omega, part the methodology we used to make you enter a heat. The heat, well that one is self explanatory. But no matter what I'm here love. " Lena leaned over to kiss Kara's cheek and took her hand.

Kara felt her warmth turn from a painful irritant to a low pleasant humm. "Ohh L..Lena . "

"Yes?" Lena cracked a smile .

"F.. fuck.. you.. I.. " Kara tried to form words , but caught by the ghost of Lena's lips still on her cheek.

"It's time to go home. I can help you get comfy and feel better there. " Lena offered squeezing Kara"s hand.

"I.. Lena. You, thank you so much. You have been so perfect, and at every step.. you've been my rock. My perfect hero."

"Kara.. you are all those things for perfect strangers as Supergirl. I am honestly honored that I can be all those things for you. Because you deserve it.. supergirl." Lena replied, only wishing Kara would feel comfortable and safe.

"Time to go home." Kara reminded .

"Yeah . Sounds good." Lena agreed pulling out of Alex and Maggie's driveway.
