Conversations on a Balcony

Translations:
/:zrhymin/ : Intimate use of the word "wife".
Cat was full on glaring as Kara landed on their bedroom balcony and the hero stopped dead as her wife's hands moved to her hips and her head tilted sharply.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she asked angrily.
Kara looked around and then pointed a thumb at herself. "Me?"
The older woman rolled her eyes. "Yes, you!"
"The baby was awake and kicking. I couldn't sleep so just went flying," the hero replied with a frown. "Why?"
"What if someone saw you?" Cat demanded. "Supergirl is not supposed to be pregnant!"
Kara's eyebrows lifted. "Um… I'm aware of that. And no one saw me, I was pretty high."
"What if you'd gotten hurt?!"
"I'm indestructible, Honey."
"What if the baby had suffocated at that height?!"
Kara smiled a little. "Cat, I really don't think that's a thing." She moved a little closer to her wife, holding her hand out as a peace offering. Cat took it and pulled her into a hug, letting out a long exhale. "Talk to me, /:zrhymin/," the hero murmured.
"I woke up and you weren't there," the older woman said quietly. "And I was too scared to turn on the TV in case…" She trailed off and just hugged her wife harder. "I had horrible memories of Reign and Red Daughter."
Kara sighed and shook her head. "I'm an idiot," she said softly. "And I'm so sorry. I didn't even think, Cat."
"It's not that I don't want you to do what makes you happy, Kara, and I don't want to wrap you up in cotton wool," Cat said as she eased back a little to look into the younger woman's regretful blue eyes. "But please… I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me when you're leaving. Wake me up, ok?"
"I promise, Babe," Kara replied. She kissed Cat gently on the lips, running her fingers through her soft, blonde hair. "I am genuinely so sorry that I scared you."
"I know I overreacted," Cat admitted. "But you and Abby and the boys are everything to me. I can't lose any of you."
"You love us," the hero said with a big smile.
"So fucking much," Cat whispered as she hugged her wife again.
"Ditto," Kara whispered in reply.
