Alex, Maggie and the girls had arrived in Hawaii late in the afternoon and after unpacking they had a little explore of the area then had some dinner and went straight back to the hotel because both girls were tired, Hayden having fallen asleep cuddled into Maggie at the restaurant. Alex and Maggie had a room with a king sized bed in it and there was an adjoining door leading through to the next hotel room, which had two single beds in it for the girls. Maggie and Alex were currently sitting out on the balcony drinking non-alcoholic cocktails that Maggie had gotten them from the hotel bar. "So, Danvers, what you got planned for us on this honeymoon vacation?" Maggie questioned.

"Absolutely nothing," Alex answered. "I was thinking we could just relax and take it easy by the pool and at the beach."

"What?" Maggie gasped. "So you mean no more surprises?" Maggie questioned, pulling a sad pout.

"No more surprises," Alex shook her head. "Don't you think you've had enough?" Alex questioned. "A watch and a vacation are pretty good surprises already."

"I know," Maggie spoke softly. "I uh….I need to be surprising you, right?"

"Uh-uh," Alex shook her head. "I didn't do this to be given things back. I did it because I want to, I love you and it's what you deserve." Alex said, giving her wife a smile.

"Well I do appreciate it," Maggie smiled back at her before putting the straw in her mouth to take a drink of her cocktail. "And you know, if this is a little honeymoon for us then could we please have a repeat of our last honeymoon and not leave the hotel room for….what was it?" Maggie bit her lip. "48 hours?"

Alex chuckled. "Sure, if we didn't have our kids with us, I'd have no objections to being in a room with you for 48 hours, but…." Alex looked into the hotel room before looking back to her wife. "Not like we can leave them out in Hawaii for 2 days."

"Aww c'mon, Emmi is smart," Maggie joked. "She could handle Hayden for a couple of days."

"She probably could," Alex ran her hand through her hair as she spoke. "But unfortunately, that probably won't get us any parent of the year awards."

Maggie let a puff off air escape between her lips. "Who needs one of them?" Maggie questioned, and Alex chuckled. "But no," Maggie cleared her throat. "We can still have some good times." Maggie said as she winked at Alex, before reached for her glass to take another drink of her cocktail.

"You just gotta be quiet because the girls are even closer through there than at home," Alex gestured to the next room, getting a cheeky grin on her face. "You'll can manage that, right?"

"Like you are little miss quiet yourself." Maggie kicked her leg out, her foot hitting softly against Alex's leg.

"Compared to you?" Alex questioned.

"Shut up," Maggie frowned. "Besides, it's not like it's a bad thing. I'm just letting you know how much of a good time you are giving me."

"I suppose you are, yes." Alex smiled at her wife.

"Mummy." Alex and Maggie both looked around as they heard Hayden's voice. She was standing at the balcony door, Hallie hippo in one hand as she rubbed her tired eyes with her other.

"You can come out." Maggie said, Hayden pushing on the end on the balcony door opening it further, so she could go out onto the balcony. She walked over to Alex and Alex lifted her up onto her knee, wrapping her arms around her as she kissed her temple.

"You okay sweetie?" Alex spoke softly, looking down to her daughter.

"I woke up," Hayden said the obvious. "Is it morning?"

"No," Alex answered. "It's still night time. Mama and I haven't even gone to bed yet."

"Oh," Hayden glanced at Maggie. "I wish it was morning."

"Well if you go back to bed and sleep then it soon will be morning," Maggie said. "Then we get to go swim in the pool or go to the beach and build sandcastles." Maggie listed a few things they could do, Hayden grinning.

"Can I find treasures?" Hayden wondered, sounding excited at the thought.

"Sure you can dig for treasure on the beach," Alex said. "That will be cool, huh?" Alex questioned, and Hayden nodded. "And we could bury Mama too," Alex suggested. "That would be funny, wouldn't it?"

"Yeah," Hayden giggled. "Gonna bury you Mama." Hayden pointed to Maggie as she gave another giggle.

"What?" Maggie gasped. "How about we just build sandcastles instead?" Maggie questioned. "We can build a whole load of them and go swimming in the ocean," Maggie suggested. "You can get a swim ring. We can see if there are any like a dinosaur, huh?"

"No," Hayden frowned. "I wanna do it myself."

"Well you can't yet," Alex told her. "You don't know how to swim, so you need the swim ring or some armbands."

"You can show me how," Hayden said as she gave a yawn. "Or Emmi. She has lots of swim medals."

"She does huh?" Maggie questioned, Hayden nodding in response. "Well we'll see." Maggie wasn't sure she was ready to let her just turned 3 year old learn how to swim with no armbands just yet. It seemed so grown up and she wanted to keep her baby for a little longer. Especially because she wasn't sure if they'd ever have a baby in their family again.

Hayden frowned, already knowing that usually meant no. "Mummy, you let me?"

Hayden looked around and turned up to face Alex. "We'll see," Alex said again as she stood to her feet, keeping a hold of Hayden in her arms. "But you gotta go back to sleep," Alex told her daughter, leaning down at a little closer to Maggie. "Say goodnight to Mama."

"Night night Mama," Hayden kissed Maggie's cheek. "Love you."

"I love you too." Maggie ran her hand over Hayden's hair as she spoke.

"Won't be long." Alex mouthed to her wife before she went into the hotel room and walked over to the adjoining door, going into the room. She glanced at the bed Emmi was in, Emmi fast asleep, the bed sheet on the floor. Alex didn't know if Emmi had done this on purpose or not. She exhaled lightly as she put Hayden back in her bed.

"Can we get ice-cream for breakfast?" Hayden moved some hair from in front of her face as she spoke.

"Maybe not for breakfast but you can get it at one point tomorrow." Alex told her, putting the bed sheet over her daughter.

"Well," Hayden pursed her lips. "What's for breakfast?"

"I don't know," Alex answered. "We'll have to see what's there."

"Maybe pancakes?" Hayden sounded excited at the thought of pancakes for breakfast.

"Oh I'm sure there will be," Alex said. "But you won't be getting anything if you don't go to sleep right now." Alex tickled Hayden's sides, Hayden giving a little giggle as she squirmed.

"Okay, goodnight Mummy. I love you." Hayden said.

"I love you too, sweetie," Alex leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Hayden's forehead. "You still want this light on?" Alex looked to the side light that was on. Hayden still slept with a night light at home and had requested the light be kept on when she was staying here too. Hayden gave a little nod in response. "Okay, sleep tight and I'll see you in the morning." Alex said, walking away from the bed. She picked up the bed sheet from the floor and placed it over Emmi's lower half, so she'd at least have some covers. She glanced at her girls for a moment before walking back through to the other room, and over to the balcony. She found Maggie leaning on the edge, looking out into the distance. "You look deep in thought." Alex said, wrapping her arms around her wife from behind.

"Mmm," Maggie leaned her head back, so she was resting on her wife. "I was just thinking when my hot wife was going to come back so she can have her way with me." Maggie murmured.

"Well I don't know where your hot wife is but if you give it 10 minutes to let Jelly fall asleep, I'll take you to bed and show you a good time." Alex told her. Maggie smiled as she turned around, looking up into Alex's eyes. Alex leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Maggie's lips as her hands wandered down slowly to her bottom.

"Mmm, sounds good." Maggie mumbled before they met in another kiss.


Kara was standing outside of the building, needed a few more minutes before going in. She put her hand on her stomach, hearing it grumble. She'd skipped breakfast, which wasn't like her. She usually had two breakfasts, sometimes even more now she was pregnant, but she felt sick that morning, so she couldn't eat. She knew it was nothing related to the pregnancy though. It was where she was. What she was going to do. "C'mon, Kara. You are the fricken girl of steel. You can do this," Kara mumbled as she took a few paces back and forth. "It's just a chat. It's not like you are here to break him out," Kara took a deep breath. "You wanted this. You decided, and you spoke it over with Neil at great length," Kara kept pacing. "It's just a hello to the man who took you on when you had no-one else. The man who treated you like a daughter before he…." Kara paused for a moment. "Turned, I guess."

"You know they say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness." Kara turned around as she heard the voice and widened her eyes in surprise at seeing J'onn walking out of the building.

"J'onn," Kara cleared her throat. "What are you doing here?"

"I am the director of the DEO. This is a DEO building," J'onn pointed back to the prison. "What are you doing here is the question we should be asking." Kara had never been out to the prison hold in the desert before. She didn't have a need to have been.

"Uh," Kara pursed her lips as she rubbed the back of her head. "I eh…I just uh."

"It's a bad idea, Kara," J'onn sighed, guessing what she was going to do. "He's not the same guy anymore."

"Do you know that for sure?" Kara questioned. "Do you talk to him daily?"

"No," J'onn shook his head. "But I still know him. The man he became."

"We don't know what 5 years in prison has done to him," Kara retorted. "It's a long time to be able to reflect on ones life and maybe he's seen the error of his ways."

J'onn sighed lightly. "I love how much you want to see the good in people," J'onn told her. "And if you want to go see him then I can't stop you, but I think you could be making a mistake here," J'onn said. "And what about Alex?"

"It's not up to her if I visit him or not," Kara retorted. "He was my father too, and I…" Kara looked downwards as she put her hand onto her stomach. "I need to go see him."

"Why now?" J'onn questioned. "Why not years ago when this first happened?"

"Because I…." Kara paused, her hand still on her stomach. "I'm at a different place in my life. I just got married. I'm having kids, and I don't…" Kara pushed at her glasses. "He's not been here for that and it's made realise what he's missed and what he's missing out on and maybe there's still a part of him that's the decent, nice guy who took me in and if I can bring that out in him then why shouldn't I try?" Kara questioned. "Especially for Alex," Kara added. "I know how much she is hurt by what he's done, but he is still her father and if I can bring him back to her then I want to try."

"Well he's not going to get out of prison any time soon for what he did," J'onn reminded her. "But if you want to see if he can change, who am I to stop you." J'onn held his hands out in front of him.

"J'onn c'mon," Kara spoke softly. "You know what you mean to me but I….I just gotta go see him."

"Well, I'll let you go then." J'onn said before walking away. Kara turned her head and watched him for a moment before she look back around to the building, taking a deep breath before she walked inside, her heart thumping at the thought of seeing Jeremiah again for the first time in over 5 years.


After having breakfast Maggie, Alex and the girls went down to the beach. Emmi had immediately gone to look for shells and Hayden had got busy playing with her bucket and spade set. She built a few sandcastles and was now using the seahorse mould to put little seahorses all around the sand at the bottom of Alex's sun lounger. Maggie glanced over at Emmi, making sure she hadn't wandered too far away before she sat up on her sun lounger, looking down to her youngest. "You having fun there, Jelly?"

"Uh-uh," Hayden nodded. "You come play with me, Mama?"

"Sure." Maggie got off the sun lounger and sat down on the sand next to her daughter. She picked up the starfish mould and started filling it with sand, Hayden staring at her.

"No, no, no," Hayden shrieked. "Not like that. I want to bury you." Hayden was already throwing sand Maggie, trying to cover her with it.

"Oh," Maggie put the starfish down next to the other moulds. "Wait a second," Maggie held her hand out, causing Hayden to stop trying to cover her in sand. "How about we team up instead and bury Mummy?" Maggie looked around to Alex who peered over from the book she was reading to look at her wife upon hearing she was being talked about.

"No," Hayden sounded annoyed as she hit her hand against her leg. "I wanna bury you, Mama."

"She knows what she wants," Alex smirked, glad it was Maggie who Hayden wanted to cover in sand. "You want Mummy to help you?" Alex asked, and Hayden nodded. Alex put her book down and got off the sun lounger, sitting herself down on the sand next to her wife and daughter. She reached for a towel and rolled it up, before putting it down on the sand, between the two loungers, just before the table for their drinks. "There's a nice little pillow for you so you don't get sand in that those lovely locks." Alex said, running her hand through Maggie's hair, a cheeky smirk still on her face.

"I go get Emmi," Hayden said as she stood up from the sand. "She can help us too." Hayden ran off across to the sand to get her sister.

"I hate the beach." Maggie muttered.

"You do not," Alex retorted. "You just don't want to be buried."

"Well you could do it instead." Maggie sighed.

"She wants to bury you," Alex reminded her wife. "Can you break her little heart?" Alex questioned, the pair of them glancing over to their daughters, who were walking over to them, Emmi showing Hayden the shells she'd collected as they did so.

"Well don't cover my face." Maggie said.

"Of course we aren't going to cover your face," Alex told her. "We will make you look all pretty," Alex said. "Give you are mermaid tail or something," Alex grinned. "Ems would be up for that."

Maggie shook her head at her wife as their daughters walked back up to them. "Hey sweetie you find any cool shells?" Maggie questioned, looking to Emmi.

"I got some, but they are all like ones I've already got," Emmi put the shells onto the table before she picked up her bottle of water and took a drink. "Jelly says we are going to bury you," Emmi said, looking to Maggie, a grin on her face at the thought. "Can we give you a mermaid tail?" Emmi questioned as she put the bottle of water back on the table.

"See," Alex gestured to Emmi. "Right girls, let's make Mama into a mermaid." Alex said, Hayden already throwing sand over Maggie's legs as Maggie lay down, resting her head on the towel Alex hand put down for her, smiling as she heard little giggles from Hayden each time she covered her in sand.


Kara was sitting down in the visitation room, looking through the glass window, waiting on the guard to bring Jeremiah through. She took a deep breath and picked up the phone receiver as she saw him being led into the seat, Jeremiah looking rather surprised as he sat down, picking up his receiver. "Kara," Jeremiah gasped, his eyes widening. "I didn't expect you."

"Who did you expect?" Kara questioned. "Do you get a regular visitor?" Kara pursed her lips, a strange feeling in her stomach as she spoke to Jeremiah again for the firs time in so long.

"No," Jeremiah laughed. "They said it was my daughter. I guess I just automatically thought it was Alex," Jeremiah said, staring hard through the glass at Kara, not blinking. "Not that it's not lovely to see you," Jeremiah gave her a smile. "You are my first visitor since I've been in here," Jeremiah said. "How are things?" Jeremiah asked. Kara stared at him, suddenly finding herself not knowing what to say. "Or is this not a friendly visit?" Jeremiah wondered. "Is this more a Supergirl wanting to get information thing?"

"Why?" Kara questioned. "Is there something I need to get information on?"

Jeremiah sniggered as he shook his head. "I spend most of my day in a cell," Jeremiah reminded her. "I get out for 10 minutes in the morning to shower then one hour in the afternoon to spend it in what's basically another cell," Jeremiah said. "This one has bars on the roof though so it's my yard time. My little bit of outside," Jeremiah told her. "The only other person I see here is the guard that takes me to and from my shower, my yard time and brings me my meals," Jeremiah said. "What could I possibly be cooking up in here?"

"I didn't accuse you of cooking up anything." Kara shook her head.

"Then why are you here?" Jeremiah asked.

"Do you want me to leave?" Kara questioned.

"No," Jeremiah shook his head. "It's really nice to see you," Jeremiah smiled, Kara returning the smile. "How are you, how's thing with you?"

"Good," Kara nodded. "I uh…I got married last month," Kara said, Jeremiah grinning at the news. "His name is Neil and he's just….he's wonderful."

"Well congratulations," Jeremiah smiled. "Is he alien too, or?" Jeremiah questioned. Kara tried to read his face, wondering why he needed to know this.

"Uh no. He's from Earth. He's human." Kara answered, her free hand going onto her stomach. She bit her lip and was about to tell him about the babies when Jeremiah spoke again.

"Well I'm pleased you found someone you," Jeremiah told her. "Uh…and Alex?" Jeremiah asked. "Is she still with uh…Maggie?"

Kara nodded. "They've just celebrated 5 years married," Kara told him. "They are in Hawaii right now with the kids."

"They have kids?" Jeremiah sounded thrilled. "I'm a Grandpa?" Jeremiah smiled but it quickly fell from his face when he realised that he was in prison and Alex didn't speak to him, so he had no chance of ever seeing his grand kids. "What do they have? What are their names?"

"Uh…" Kara looked downwards for a moment before looking back to Jeremiah. "I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have told you that. That's not for me to say. It's for Alex to tell you and she doesn't want uh…she doesn't want to know you anymore."

Jeremiah sighed sadly. He wished so much he still had his daughter in his life. "It's not like I did anything to directly hurt her."

Kara scoffed. "You went against the DEO. You almost killed Maggie. You killed innocent aliens." Kara said, careful not to mention those aliens were Emmi's parents and Emmi was now Alex and Maggie's daughter.

"I didn't almost kill Maggie." Jeremiah denied it, his head shaking.

"You were choking her. She couldn't breathe." Kara retorted.

"I was scaring them," Jeremiah raised his voice a little. "I had to get them out. Get them away. Lillian needed me to get those aliens away. They were going to stop me….I…..I had to try something."

Kara shook her head. "The Jeremiah I knew would never harm an alien, let alone murder two for what?" Kara asked. "Defending themselves? For wanting to be safe here on Earth?"

"Lilian let me see not all aliens deserve our help." Jeremiah replied.

"And I agree," Kara had to admit that not all aliens were nice. She'd faced her fair share of bad ones. "But all the ones Cadmus sent back to famine and poverty? To war torn planets?" Kara shook her head. "They didn't deserve that. They were good. They just wanted to live a peaceful life here," Kara said. "How could you do that to them?"

"Why is it any different to what you do?" Jeremiah questioned. "You put aliens in prison. You lock them up like animals."

"Yeah, the ones who deserve it. Who try to harm this Earth," Kara retorted. "Ones who do wrong," Kara added. "Not innocent ones who are just trying to live their lives and raise their family."

"We don't know what any alien is capable of." Jeremiah sighed.

"Does that include me?" Kara questioned, her lip twisting as she waited on an answer.

"Kara, you are the exception." Jeremiah told her, smiling lightly at his daughter.

"Looks like we are going to have to disagree on that," Kara mumbled. She felt saddened that Jeremiah still had the same warped views on aliens. She had hoped deep down that he had changed. "You know I….I thought maybe you'd changed," Kara said. "I thought maybe this time in here would let you see the error or your ways," Kara told him. "But Eliza was right. You're not….you're not the Jeremiah who took me in."

"Eliza," Jeremiah smiled as he said her name. "How is she?" Jeremiah asked, ignoring the rest of what Kara had said.

"She's good," Kara told him. "She lives here in the city now. So she's closer to the girls. She loves being a Grandma."

"Girls?" Jeremiah questioned. "Alex has girls?" Jeremiah said, Kara pursing her lips. "No Danvers boy yet?"

Kara let a puff of air escape between her lips as she felt a kick from the babies. Her free hand went back onto her stomach, rubbing lightly where her baby was kicking. "You are missing out on a lot, Jeremiah," Kara reminded him. "I miss you and I know deep down Alex does too."

"I miss you too. All of you," Jeremiah admitted. "But it's not like they'll let me out if I say sorry and admit what I did was wrong."

"Do you think it was?" Kara questioned, sounding a little hopeful. Maybe she could make a breakthrough with him after all.

"I think I did what I had to do to protect my family." Jeremiah responded.

"What does that mean?" Kara questioned.

"It means -" Jeremiah started to talk but was cut off when the guard approached him a light flashed in the room.

"What's going on?" Kara questioned as the guard put the phone to his ear.

"That's visiting time over." The guard said as he put the phone back on the receiver and started to escort Jeremiah out of the room.

"Wait," Kara shouted, banging on the glass. The guard stopped and stared at her for a moment before he walked Jeremiah out of the room. "Oh, I think we might be paying Grandpa another visit." Kara mumbled as she rubbed her hand over her stomach, the babies kicking her as she spoke.


Maggie, Alex and the girls had gone into the town to get some lunch. They were sitting outside at the restaurant, Hayden sitting next to Maggie as Emmi and Alex were opposite them. Hayden pushed at her little white and pink sunglasses that had lots of little Peppa Pig's on the legs. "Looking cool in your new sunglasses, Jelly." Alex said, smiling at her daughter, who grinned at the compliment. They'd did a little bit of shopping before going to the restaurant for lunch, Hayden and Emmi both getting some new sunglasses.

"They's got Peppa Pig on them." Hayden said, touching the legs.

"Yeah," Maggie looked down to them. "They are super cool."

"Better than Emmi cos they is just purple, but mines has more on them." Hayden said, once again hitting the legs of her glasses.

"Hmm," Alex raised her eyebrows. "Yours were a lot cheaper as well," Alex muttered. "I can't believe Mama bought our 10 year old a pair of real Ray-bans."

"She likes them," Maggie said, looking at Emmi who was sitting in her purple sunglasses. "And they suit her."

"I'm not denying that," Alex glanced at Emmi, who seemed too engrossed in her book to be paying attention to the conversation. "But she's 10. She doesn't need real Ray-Bans."

"Oh be quiet," Maggie reached for her water and took a drink. "You just mad I didn't treat you to a pair?" Maggie questioned, her head tilting to the side ever so slightly.

"I don't need new sunglasses." Alex shook her head.

"Then let me treat my kids." Maggie sighed.

"Well, it's our money, so we technically both treated the kids." Alex retorted.

"Ah so this wasn't your treat after all?" Maggie got a cheeky grin on her face. "My money paid for this vacation to?"

"Well technically," Alex shrugged. "But it was my nice surprise for you."

"Yes it was," Maggie smiled appreciatively. "And although I love the idea of doing next to nothing for the next week, how about we plan trip or two?" Maggie questioned. "See some more of this island?"

"Can we look for dinosaurs?" Hayden questioned.

"Dinosaurs," Emmi giggled as she looked up from her book. "They are extinct, Hayden."

Hayden frowned. "What's that?"

"It means they are not alive anymore," Emmi told her. "They are only in books or movies."

"And in Peppa Pig," Hayden pointed out. "George Pig has a dinosaur."

"But that's a teddy," Emmi exhaled. "Like you have dinosaur teddies."

"Well," Hayden scratched the side of her head as she looked up to Maggie. "What else can we do, Mama?"

"I don't know," Maggie shrugged. "That's what we need to talk about, huh?" Maggie questioned, Hayden nodding her head before looking to Alex.

"Mummy, what does you want to do?" Hayden wondered.

"Uh," Alex rubbed the back of her head. She just wanted to relax by the beach and the swimming pool. She didn't care if they did any trips. "Oh, how about Ems decides something?"

"Well," Emmi put her bookmark into the book and put it down on the table. "The last time we were in Hawaii we went snorkelling and it was awesome. We saw so many cool and colourful fish and ever turtles," Emmi shrieked. "So, I want to do that again."

"Oooh fisheses," Hayden sounded like she'd be up for the snorkelling trip. "Can we?"

"I don't see why not," Alex answered. "Snorkelling is always fun. We can have a look at some snorkelling trips."

"Cool," Emmi grinned. "That all I want to do. See some fish," Emmi said. "Maybe some dolphins."

"I'm not sure you'll see any dolphins snorkelling, sweetie." Alex said.

"Maybe there's a dolphin spotting trip we can go on." Maggie added, Emmi grinning as she nodded, liking that idea as well.

"Like looking for treasure but it's dolphins?" Hayden questioned, looking up to Maggie again.

"Yeah, just like that baby." Maggie answered, Hayden giving a grin.

"Hawaii is going to be the most fun evers." Hayden shrieked, Maggie and Alex exchanging a smile. They were both enjoying their break so far and were both going to make the most of their week away with their girls, the stresses and hardships of the last year now put behind them.


Thanks for the reviews. :)
