Prompt: "How do you become accidently married?"


"Oh... it was an accident actually!"

"Um... what my wife means to say is..." Alex looked down at the ring on her finger and then looked at Kara, whose face was lit with a huge smile. "It wasn't accidental that we got married, it was accidental that we proposed to each other on the same day."

Kara's grin just broadened, and the director sent her a 'Don't you do it!' style look. "Why don't you tell the story, Allybear?"

The brunette frowned a little and then tilted her head, a sly twinkle entering her eyes. "No, YOU should, Baby. You're so much better at telling it than I am."

The blonde blinked as she easily heard Alex's under-her-breath cackle. "Ok... um..." Kara focused back on the two suspects; a married couple suspected of being alien slave traders. The exclusive resort, at which they were currently vacationing, would hopefully lower their suspicion of strangers. Alex and Kara, posing as a newly married couple, were taking advantage of that. "Well... it's a funny story actually..." the hero giggled nervously. "We were walking through National City Park, carrying a blanket and a basket so we could picnic by a lake under our favorite tree. It was a beautiful, sunny day with blue skies and fluffy white clouds and, for the first time in a long time, I felt peaceful. Just holding Alex's hand and strolling together, listening to ducks quacking and kids laughing was a little slice of heaven."

Alex swallowed, remembering that day, slightly differently of course since they'd been linking arms rather than holding hands, but still... "Mmmm..." she hummed in agreement.

"When we settled down in the sweet-smelling grass, Alex poured us a glass of wine each and we lay on our blanket gazing at the sky and pointing out the animal shapes we could see in the clouds. We lay there for hours, talking about everything and nothing, just being together. Then in one perfect moment, we looked at each other, eyes locked, and we both said. "Marry me, Babe?" at the same time.

Kara smiled as she felt Alex's fingers lace between hers and squeeze gently. "Second best day of my life," the brunette said softly.

"And what's the first?" the female suspect asked.

"The day she said, 'I do'," Kara and Alex replied at the same time, eyes still locked on each other.

And somehow, the emotion of it all, brought tears to their eyes.

"I love you," Kara murmured softly.

"I love you too," Alex replied.

And in that moment, both wondered if maybe, those words were heavier than they'd realized.
