-Chapter-3-

-Lena pov-

Last night is all a big blur to me. I fed Andrea after she slipped very hard. She is such a sweet little girl when she has slipped. She has a innocence now I never knew she had.

I sigh as I get up and out of bed. I smile as I see Kara ended up joining us last night. I quickly and silently make my way to my stuff. I send a text to my demo team to be quiet while they work.

I get my clothes and head into the bathroom. I stop when I hear a whimper. I look and see Andrea moving around some. I set my stuff down and turn the bathtub on.

I let it fill as I get Andrea. I get us both stripped down and carry her to the tub. The gym membership was a really good idea. I let her keep her pacifier as I slowly put us both in the warm water.

She curls into my body as she closes her eyes. I smile and run a hand through her hair. She has grown attached to us so easily. I have already grown attached to her this way too.

I never thought of myself being motherly. After my experiences with Lilian and all of that. But Andrea is a friends or was one. The main thing is she needs someone to help and care for her.

Kara and I can do that better than anyone else. After a little while I wash us up and get us dried off. I put Andrea in the jumper when I hear someone at the door. I walk out to see my crew working on the dividing wall between apartments.

"Come on Kara I am sorry!" Alex? Why is she apologizing? "Please...please just open the door"

"Hang on" I open the door and see a tired looking Alex Danvers "Uhh hi? Why are you apologizing?"

"Oh god you are here already?!" I am confused and then soon being pushed backwards "Who do you think you are?! Why do you think you can take my sister?! We may have been becoming friends but you are not good enough for her! NO ONE IS! Do you understand me Luthor?"

"I told you to stay away" We both turn to see a angry Kara "You did not give her a phone cause of your own ego! You refused to talk to me while I was gone! You have not wanted to see me since I came back! You are the reason we are not talking Alex! Why are you pushing me away?!"

"I am sorry Kara!" Alex goes and tries to hug Kara but Kara moves "Please"

"What is going on here?" I turn toward the door to see Eliza Danvers there "Alex called me and told me to come"

"You called her to join your side?" I can see Alex trying to find words to say "Both of you out! Out of my home, out of my apartment building, AND OUT OF LIFE!"

"Wh-what? Why?" I can feel myself already starting to shake from panic and flashbacks "Why are you yelling that at me? I am your mother"

"You are not my mother anymore" I fall to the ground as tears start to fall "Lena!"

"Yeah go to your little whip Kara!" Why do I always tear families apart? Why can I never be good enough? "This is ridiculous Kara!"

"Alex be quiet!" I am so useless and so bad for everyone "Lena listen to me please! I need you to focus on me ok?"

I can only shake my head at first "I am not good" I need to get out of my head! "Useless...I am useless"

"Please Lena" I hear Kara go away and muffled voices in the background "We are here lena! Look at us!"

I look up and see who 'we' is. I see a scared Andrea and a worried Kara. Two people that quickly have become my whole world. I focus on them as my heart slows down.

"What is happening here?" I look at my crew and nod for them to leave for a break "Why is your former boss acting like a baby? She is an adult woman!"

"That is enough!" Kara is soon grabbing Alex by the collar and holding her against the wall "You will not keep trashing my family! You may not want me in your life anymore but they do! So stop trying to take away people who make me happy! She does age regression and you will not ruin it or make her feel bad!"

"You look so adorable" When did Eliza get over here? "I love that baby blue dress on you but I think a yellow one with smiling suns would look much more adorable! Let's go see if you have one!"

Eliza wordlessly picks up Andrea who sinks into her. I share a shocked look with Kara. She has only bonded with us two that quick. Cat is still out there on the bonding thing.

"Why is all of this so hard for you?" I look at the two arguing sisters "Why can I not be happy with Lena?"

"She locked you in a kryptonite cell and broke you to pieces" Alex sighs as I stand up "I guess part of me still sees that side of her...the side that got close and broke my sister"

"I promise never to hurt her again Alex" I walk over and out a hand on Karas wrist "Let her go"

"Do not hurt my family Alex" Kara slowly lets Alex down and go "Andrea needs us right now"

"I can see that" Alex looks at the wall and then me "You buy this building too? Why not just your loft?"

"I know ok?" I pout and cross my arms "I thought about it after"

"Here she is!" We all look at a smiling Andrea in a yellow adult onesie with a sun on it "No dresses but this works fine!"

"Oh look at you!" Kara runs over to them "You look so precious! Yes you do!"

"Mom always wanted multiple grandkids" I look at Alex who turns and holds her hand out "To new beginnings?"

"To burying old problems" I shake her hand "But never hurt my baby again"

Alex nods and I know we are in agreement. I look at the girls and smile at the laughter. This two are going to make me turn super soft. But it will all be worth it.

For their smiles anything is worth it.
