"What happened?" Alex asked as she walked into Kara's apartment the next morning. Kara was sat on the corner of the couch, staring into the abyss seemingly not noticing her sister's presence, until she decided to speak, "I heard Nia's cries…But I didn't meet her Alex, I couldn't. What is the point when all of this will be destroyed anyway?" Tears filled Kara's voice as she spoke, her eyes never leaving the spot which she was staring at.

Alex let out a sigh. As she put her coat on the counter, she then walked over to her sister and sat beside her, "Kara, you better not be a coward. If you and Lena want to change your future so badly, then why don't you do it instead of letting it pass you both by? Lena will resent you if you don't fight for this."

"But she's the one who told me to go Alex! She literally said, what is the point in me being there now if I'm not there later?" Kara finally looked Alex in the eyes, all emotions hitting her at once. The Kryptonian noticed how Alex's shoulders deflated, "What Alex?"

"I'll tell you what." Alex said in a slightly sterner voice than before, "You and Lena, you love each other, okay? You want a future together? Screw what fate says, if it turns out that you leave Nia, at least you gave it a damn good shot. At this point Kara, all you are being is a coward and so is she. The only way to fight the future is to change it as much as possible, maybe things can turn out much different. Time can be rewritten."

Kara shook her head, "No, no it can't. Nia said it herself-"

"Screw what Nia said!" Alex snapped, standing this time. She couldn't take this any longer, she had to be as blunt as possible, to get the message through. If Kara wanted a future with Lena, she was going to have to fight against everything. Alex then kneeled in front of her sister, locking eyes with her, "What the hell do you and Lena want? No, what do you want?"

Kara's jaw opened slightly, but no words came out and so Alex waited until she could muster a sentence, "I want Nia, and, and Lena."

"And how will you go about doing that? Kara, the fact is, weather you like it or not, you are a mother now. Things have changed a whole lot over the past 72 hours. You have a child, and you have a lover, but where is your child? That child is with your lover, why is the child not with you?"

Kara frowned at the questions, "Why are you quizzing me? I don't know the answers to this."

"Yes, you do Kara!" Alex snapped, "Get your head together for once in your life!" Alex hated doing this, but she had to get through to her one way or another and she could see her tough loving tactics were working as Kara went incredibly pale.

"Let's try again." Alex sighed, "You have a child that was born last night. You haven't yet seen that child, why? Because you're scared of what the next twenty years will bring. You know what I say? I say screw whatever you think is set in stone, because by being here, you are making sure that whatever fate decides happens. Get your butt off of this couch and go to that woman and when you do, tell her that you won't go anywhere. It's time for you to grow up and take this responsibility. If it wasn't me whooping your butt about this, mom certainly would and I could get her on the phone-"

At this, Kara jumped up and got off of the couch, "No thank you, I…I'd better get going."

Alex stood up and crossed her arms, "If you come back with no Nia, I'm calling mom."

"You wouldn't-"

"Kara Danvers, yes I would, now go and talk to Lena and sort your lives out."

At this, Kara merely nodded and zoomed out of the door in a flash.

Lena's Penthouse

Lena sat down on her own couch feeding Nia her, now, third bottle of milk when she heard a knock at the door. When she looked down to her IPad, she noticed that the camera showed Kara at the door. Lena sighed heavily, but released the many latches anyway, letting Kara in.

As Kara walked in, Lena refused to look up at her, "It's a pleasant surprise to see you here." Lena said in a cold tone, "I thought you didn't want to be here? I gave you the choice and you walked."

Kara was staring at Nia, her heart ready to explode with joy as well as the pride she was currently feeling, but she had to deal with one thing at a time, and that's when she tore her eyes from the infant and looked at Lena, staring into her emerald greens, "I realised that if I don't do anything, we are cementing the future and I won't let that happen. Lena, we know what will happen soon, and we can't change it, but what we can do is fight it."

"And how do you suppose we do that?" Lena asked, looking down at Nia, and then back at the blonde.

"I love you and you love me." Kara shrugged, "I won't marry you because it is way too soon, but we can work from here. We can fight until we can't fight anymore." There was a pause, "And for once in my life, I need to take responsibility. I created a child and I can't be a coward. I can't walk away, not when I have you both to take care of."

Lena's cold pretence now softened, "So you're here for good?"

Kara nodded slowly as she stared at the infant in Lena's arms, "I'm here for as long as I can be. We can make us work Lena. I want to make us work."

A small smile then crept onto Lena's face, "I was scared of what would happen yesterday. Everything, it hit me at once and I just didn't know what to do."

"I know, I know." Kara said softly, as she walked over to her. She then sat beside her and put her arms around her, "I'm not going anywhere Lena. I will always protect you, and her." Kara placed a soft kiss on Lena's cheek and Lena let out a soft sigh, now she felt as though everything was better. The future wasn't okay, but at least they were both ready to face it, together.

Kara looked down at the infant and smiled at her. Tears filled her eyes as she finally let herself feel joy, "She's so beautiful."

Lena frowned at Kara as she noticed that she was crying. A smile crept onto her face as she saw the happiness in Kara's eyes, "You can hold her if you want, she might need breast feeding though. The powdered stuff doesn't seem to do anything for her appetite, and I wonder where she gets that from." Lena chuckled.

Kara wiped her eyes with the back of her hands as she laughed too. "I suppose I should try and breast feed her."

"Do you want to be left alone while you do it?" Lena asked softly.

"If I'm being honest, I'm not totally sure how I-"

Lena stood with Nia in her arms, "You can do it however you want, whatever makes you comfortable. You can still wear your shirt and remove a part of your bra or you could take both of them off and I can find something warm to wrap you in. There are other ways, but it depends what is more comfortable for you."

"I-I think I'd rather do it, with no layers on at all on the top half of my body." Kara then frowned, "Why haven't you been able to breast-feed her, surely it should be you who is able to do that?"

Lena shook her head, "Nope…It seems that it's you who has that responsibility, God knows how the science of that works, but I will find out. I just haven't got any milk for her, so I figured you might."

Kara went red at this, "This is so new to me."

"It's new to me too." Lena smiled, "But we will figure it out."

Kara nodded slowly before removing her shirt and her bra. Lena then passed Nia over to her carefully, and as soon as Kara had the infant in her arms, she felt a weird sensation. It wasn't bad, but she couldn't figure out what it was. As the Kryptonian got comfortable on the couch, Lena helped her position the child correctly, "There we go." The Luthor smiled, "You're a natural and what do you know? You do have what I don't."

Kara laughed sheepishly, "I had no idea that it would work the other way…But wait, if Superman has children, does that mean he has to do this?"

Lena frowned as she thought about it, "Um…I don't actually know…Maybe." The Luthor then went to find a blanket. She came back a moment later with a large, luxurious white blanket which she wrapped around Kara's shoulders and torso. "There you go." She said softly, kissing Kara's cheek from behind. As she looked down at Nia in Kara's arms, everything felt so right. She rested her chin on Kara's shoulder and couldn't get over how beautiful their child really was.
