AN: Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates, I have been so busy with Uni. Won't be long until I break off this semester for the Christmas holidays! I have a question for my readers, would you all like a Supercorp/ Thirteenth Doctor crossover at all? As ever, thank you all for reading and here is a Christmas-ish chapter.

December rolled around too fast for anyone's liking, however, Kara had adjusted to not having Lena in her life as much anymore. Not long after Nia's funeral, Kara kept trying to talk to Lena, but Lena shut her out. It got to the point where her access always pass was revoked. That broke her, and despite Alex having a not so friendly chat with her, that seemed to make things worse.

And then finally, half-way through November, all calls and texts both to and from Lena and Kara seemed to just cease. Lena even had less lectures at the university, seeming to have other things to do.

Here Kara was, a week before Christmas. Normally, Kara would have had all of the decorations up on the very last day of November for December 1st the very next day. The alien just seemed to become sluggish and slow, not having her best friend in her life slowed her down. Kara dragged a tree across the room with Alex watching her carefully. She had a beer in her hand and a sharp frown crossed her face, "It's the middle of the December…Every year, you have your tree up by the first of December…" She then sighed when Kara glared at her, "Kara, she will come around. These past few months have just been really hard for her."

Kara managed to stand the tree up and began to decorate it, "She's just stalling and making sure that Nia is never born."

"Or maybe, time needs to be taken with this. I get that you were both hurt, but she truly saw Nia as her daughter, and you can't blame her for taking this personally." Alex sighed, perplexed, "You didn't even want to know her at first and I know that isn't the point." She said quickly, holding her hands up in defence, "She just wanted to protect her from anyone."

"Lena and I are meant to be married in a year, and she is meant to be pregnant with Nia." Kara almost snapped as she pulled some tinsel from a box. She was clearly getting stressed about the entire situation, "All of this has made me want a daughter even more."

"But right now, it's not for the right reasons." Alex said pointedly, "You want a child with her because you know that you will have one and now you are forcing it on and maybe pushing Lena away in the process and I hate to say it, but you could be scaring her, hence why she is remaining in a relationship with Sam. Just like anything in this life Kara, it takes time and you can't force love or a relationship on anyone, that's where things get complicated and…Toxic…" She sighed.

Just as Kara was wrapping red tinsel around the tree, she stopped half-way, "If you are referring to me and Mon-El-"

"Oh that, that was toxic, and you can't deny that Kara. You asked him the moment you got together to keep it a secret and then the next minute. Not even five minutes later, he blabbed his mouth. And do not get me started on him talking down to you-"Alex felt herself getting angry herself, "You said it yourself, he was a lying jackass. He used you and used excuses as though you were a game of baseball."

Kara looked down at the floor, "While we are talking about my toxic relationships, why don't we talk about James and Lena huh?"

Alex almost spat her beer out, "You thought it was a good match and so did Sam. No wonder why it lasted two weeks in November, and then she went straight back to Sam."

"A lot happened in those two weeks." Kara replied quickly, "She helped James out a lot and then he turned around and said that it's no wonder she doesn't know what love is. You know, I could throw him into space too!"

Alex stared at Kara as she spoke. Kara noticed how she was looking at her and frowned, "What?"

"You." Alex began, pointing at her, "You've got it bad. You really have, you are so deep into her. You really would fight for her until your very last breath wouldn't you?"

Kara laughed nervously, "I…I just don't like it when people hurt her…We kissed each other when we basically first met." She smiled sheepishly, fiddling with the piece of tinsel she had in her hand, "I…Now I know about the future I just can't stop thinking what perhaps we could be. We could be amazing." Kara said with a dazzling smile as she stared into the abyss with eyes that looked dreamy and full of hope.

Alex nodded, "You could both be amazing, but you can't rush it. I'll ask her round for Christmas and if she says no, you can't be sad about it…I'm…I'm sure she misses you too."

Kara's eyes snapped back onto Alex and she frowned, "How would you know that? Has she spoken to you?"

"Kara." Alex said, standing up. She then walked over to Kara and took her hands, "Lena and I may have talked, but she doesn't want to rush into anything. She has already had her heart broken once and she can't bare that again. I'm not supposed to tell you any of this, but her and Sam, they broke it off. It doesn't matter when, but I know that Lena loves you too…It's just, baby steps Kara."

Kara didn't get giddy or super excited, she just nodded slowly as if she hadn't been told the best news she had heard all month and answered, "Baby steps."

Alex nodded slowly and just a second later, the whole room was decorated and covered in lights, tinsel, ornaments and an advent calendar on the wall, "Christmas is on the way!" Kara smiled triumphantly. Alex merely raised a brow, "Christmas just came early for you didn't it?"

Kara merely nodded with a huge smile on her face whilst chomping on a candy cane, "We have a week to go Alex, I've been slacking. Now, I need to go out and buy gifts."

Before Alex could say anything, Kara was gone. Alex was left alone in the silence of a sparkling apartment, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Her Kara was back.
