Thanks for all the reviews, favorites/follows...I'm not worthy. Differ...your reviews always make me smile. Thank you. I'm not sure if you knew I've posted another story. Check it out if you'd like to.
I'm sorry if this chapter is short but I wanted to post something before the holidays so you weren't left hanging.
I hope everyone is well and thanks again for reading my stories. I really am not worthy.

Chapter 36
Kara/Supergirl's P.O.V.
Oh my goodness, Adam is here. He just dropped in out of the blue, I mean, not that I mind because he is Cat's son and is technically my stepson, so he's welcome here any time. He just, uh, never pops in, though. I hope everything is okay.
** In Cat and Kara's kitchen. **
"Hi, Adam. How are you doing? It's so wonderful to see you."
He blushes as Cat gives him a hug.
"I'm fine, Mom. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing well, thank you. To what do we owe this unexpected, yet always welcomed visit? Is everything alright?"
He laughs as Hope decides to leap into his arms.
"Atom! I started first grade today! I have a friend and we shareded our lunch."
"Oh wow! You did? That sounds awesome, sis! Sounds like you had a great day!"
She nods.
"I did. Want some apple?"
She shoves a piece of half eaten apple slice in his face.
"Hope, I don't think he wants part of your pre-chewed snack. Please remove that from his face."
She pouts at Cat while Adam holds back a chuckle.
"Thanks anyway, Hope."
"Okay. MamaMommy, can I play?"
We both nod.
"Yes, you may play for a little bit."
She runs off towards her swing set/jungle gym outside.
"Sorry about that. We really are teaching her manners. So, how's Jenn and the wedding planning going?"
Adam beams.
"It's alright. She was excited. I get it. Jenn's doing really well, thanks. Um, the wedding planning actually, it's kinda why I'm here."
I pout.
"It is? Oh no, is something wrong? Did something happen between you two because I will go throw her into space for breaking your heart right now."
Cat's eyes almost pop out at me as Adam belly laughs.
"N-No, Kara, she didn't break my heart nor did I break hers. Relax."
Cat smirks as she rubs my back.
"What seems to be the issue then if everyone is still happy and in love?"
He starts fidgeting.
"Well, uh, you see, the venue we were going to have the wedding at, the Elks Lodge, her father's a member, well, they had a slight sprinkler system issue as in it malfunctioned. Needless to say, they're closed for repairs."
"I see. That is rather unfortunate."
"Y-Yeah."
"How can your mom and I help?"
He smiles.
"O-Oh, well, I was wondering if either of you knew of an alternate place we could use, something that's not too expensive. Her parent's don't have a ton of money and the lodge was doing him a favor. If you don't, that's okay. I'm sure we'll figure something out."
Cat hums.
"Adam, of course we will help you. And don't worry about the cost. I know it's tradition for the bride's parent's pay, but it's on us. No arguments. Tell us your next dream location and we'll see what we can do."
Adam's hand go up in protest.
"Oh, I didn't come here expecting you to foot the bill, honest. You really don't have to. I just came here for suggestions."
Cat scoffs.
"I know that, son, but I insist. Now, text her or facetweet her and ask where her dream location would be. Chop, chop."
Adam laughs.
"Alright, alright. Thank you. I'll be right back."
"Cat, you are amazing, you know that?"
She smirks and quirks an eyebrow.
"I know."
I give her a kiss.
"Uh hum. Am I interrupting?"
We both shake our heads.
"Not at all. So, what did she say?"
Adam grins.
"First of all, she said thank you from the bottom of her heart and her parents would like to repay you so matter how long it takes. Second, she actually asked if we could have it, um, here."
Cat blinks at him.
"Here, as in National City here or here as in, this house?"
He blushes.
"Here, as in your house. She really loves your back yard. I-If it's a problem, we'd understand. It's a lot to ask for."
Cat walks over and gives him a hug.
"Adam, we would be honored to have your wedding here. Let us know when and how many people. Oh, don't forget a list for the caterer. We wouldn't want to have anyone having any allergic reactions, like your father with shrimp."
Adam smirks.
"Yeah, he does tend to blow up if he's anywhere near seafood. I'll get you all that information as soon as I can. Mom, I can't tell you, both you and Kara, how much this means to me. Jenn is going to be so happy. So will I."
Cat tears up.
"You're both welcome. Kara and I will do our best to make sure everything goes smoothly, okay?"
He nods.
"Thanks. I-I should get going. I'm meeting someone for dinner, a potential client."
"Ooh, sounds like fun. Where are you meeting this client?"
"Just at Noonan's. This guy is looking to put an addition onto his house and I have some options for him. Nothing fancy."
"My son, the architect. Never gets old."
He chuckles.
"Thanks again. I'll talk to you later."
"Hey, please say goodbye to your sister before you go. She'll be heartbroken if you don't."
He nods.
"Absolutely."
He goes out back where Hope is zipping around.
"Hey SuperHope, I've gotta go, but I'm going to be back again real soon."
She stops and runs over giving him a hug.
"You leaving? You just got here."
"I know, but I just said I'll be back again real soon. I promise, little sis."
She gives him a squeeze.
"Did Mama give you some apples?"
"Um, no. Was she supposed to?"
"I dunno."
"Okay. Well, I'm really glad you have a great first day of school, Hope. I'll see you later, gator!"
"Okay crocodile."
I chuckle and whisper to her.
"Hope, you're supposed to say after a while crocodile."
Hope whispers back upset.
"I forgot, Mommy."
Adam smiles at his baby sister.
"No biggie. Kara, thanks again. See you later."
After he leaves, Carter comes home.
"W-Was that Adam?"
"Yes, bud, it was. Sorry you just missed him."
He shrugs.
"It's okay. Is he o-okay?"
Cat tussles his hair.
"Yes, he's okay. He came to ask for our help with the wedding."
"He's still getting married, r-right? I-I'm still his best man, right? I've been practicing."
I stare at him.
"You've been practicing? How?"
He blushes.
"I-I've been practicing guarding a ring and handing it off."
"Really? What ring and who are you practicing with, may I ask?"
"It's not really a real ring, mom, just a rock. I hand it to Hope."
Hope smiles.
"Yep. He gives me the rock then I gives it back."
"Give back. How long have you been doing that, son?"
"S-Since he asked me. I looked up what a Best Man does. I wanted to make sure I d-didn't let him down."
Cat and I both tear up.
"That is very sweet of you, Carter. I'm so proud of you. And you, too, Hope, for helping your brother."
She beams.
"I'm a good helper."
"I also looked up Bachelor Parties since it said that the Best Man usually does that, too. I-I don't know if I can do that, Mom."
Cat blinks at him, only imagining what he found on the Internet regarding Bachelor Parties.
"No, no you don't have to do that, Carter. I'm sure Adam would understand."
"And speaking of being a good helper, Hope, would you like to help me set the table?"
She runs into the dining room before I finish my sentence.
"I'll take that as a yes. Carter, how was your day, bud?"
He smiles.
"It was good. Classes aren't too bad. My one professor said he recognized me from a science fair last year."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
He laughs.
"Good. He liked my project so I think he will be able to give me challenging stuff to do now."
Cat and I both smile.
"That's wonderful, Carter. I'm so proud of you, you know that?"
He shuffles.
"H-Hope, how was first grade?"
Hope goes into telling him about her whole day.
"Wow. Sounds like you had fun."
"I did."
Jeremiah squeals.
"Another kingdom speaks. Yes, Monkey? Are we ignoring you again or are you just enjoying the hubbub bub and wanted to join in?"
He squeals again and kicks his little legs.
"I don't think he likes being left out of the hubbub, babe."
She picks him up and pats his little behind.
"Well that and he needs to be changed."
She makes a funny face at him as she hands him over to me.
"My goodness, Monkey. What did Mama feed you when I was out today?"
Cat rolls her eyes at me.
"Oh you know, the usual, hamburgers, French fries, pizza, oh and some pudding."
We all stare at her.
"Mama, he can't have bugers yet, he doesn't have teeth!"
She can't stop herself from laughing.
"I'm teasing Mommy, Hope."
"Oh. I knew that."
We all laugh now.
"She's so like you Kara, it's really funny."
I blush.
"Thanks, bud."
