Alex and Maggie lay tangled together with only the sheet to cover them. Maggie is running circles on Alex's stomach with her fingers.

"How's your knee feel?" Maggie asks.

"No pain."
Maggie lifts her head, "even when you were-."

"Nope no pain at all I promise you," Alex interrupted. Maggie smiled, pecked Alex's lips then retuned to her position.

"When do you think your mom and Zack will be back?"
Alex looks at the clock, "not for a couple hours, the movie only started twenty minutes ago."

"mmm" Maggie hums as she begins to fall back to sleep. All of a sudden Alex hops out of bed and slightly limps into the shower.
"ALEX!" Maggie whines.

"Join me, oh and bring my speaker that's in my draw in my night stand." Alex yells from the bathroom.

Maggie rolls out of bed and opens the draw. She sees the speaker and pulls it out but doesn't expect to see what's underneath.

Alex's Diary

Maggie hesitates before closing the drawer and heading to the bathroom.

After a half hour, Alex and Maggie emerged from the shower, as they got dressed Maggie asked, "did you always keep your diary in your drawer?"
Alex froze as she put on her shirt. She turned to Maggie, "you saw it?"
Maggie nodded and Alex hung her head. She put her shirt on and took out her diary and threw it over to Maggie.

"I didn't say I wanted to look at it. But now that you gave it to me I would love to see how the bad ass DEO agent was like in high school."
"I can assure you that most of it is dark. As you know I hid a lot of my emotions and wrote it down. It's a bit exaggerated at times. It was like my lifeline when I had nobody to talk to."
Maggie flipped through the book. She stopped at one entry.

Today was a really sucky day. Not only did I have three tests today. Vicky told me she hooked up with someone over the weekend and Kara broke the phone again. Mom yelled at me again for Kara breaking it. How is it my fault, she did it. I wish she would just go back to where she came from. It's all her fault my dad is dead and my mom hates me. To think last year my biggest worry was the national science far. There is supposed to be a big party this weekend but I doubt I'll go. Kara's bound to fuck up again and revoke my weekend privileges. Uuuhh. I hate my life.

Maggie was lost in the entry and didn't notice Alex walk over to see what she was reading.

"I told you they weren't all sunshine and rainbows."

Maggie looked up heart broken, "are they all like this?"
"No some are much lighter others are much darker. You can keep it and read it if you want."
Maggie put the book on the bed and kissed Alex, "I love you."
Alex smiled in the kiss, "I love you too."

Eliza and Zack opened the door to see Alex and Maggie curled up on the couch watching TV.

"Mommy, Mama look what I got." Zack said as he ran towards the couple holding a toy in his hand.

"What is it baby?" Maggie asked lifting him onto the couch. Zack gave Maggie the batplane.

"Batplane and look," Zack smiled and pressed the button causing to darts eject.

"Wow buddy that is awesome. Did you thank grandma?"
"Yup and hugged too." Alex and Maggie laughed.

Later on that night Alex and Maggie were cuddling in bed. Alex had been passed out for over an hour while Maggie stayed up with too many thoughts jumping around in her head. Maggie shifted and grabbed Alex's diary to read another entry. She opened it randomly and read:

It's been a year. I miss you dad. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you or our adventures and experiments we could be doing. I miss your hugs, mom doesn't hug me anymore and when Kara does she leaves bruises because it's always too tight. I can't remember the last time mom said she loved me. You use to say it everyday. I miss your voice and your bedtime stories. Mom says I'm too old and that I need to grow up. I hate that you're not here. All I want to do is lay in by bed and cry all day. It's not the same without you. I would do anything to have you come home. My friends ignore me now because of Kara. I know it's not Kara's fault. I'm trying to be the big sister you taught me how to be but it's so lonely. I want my best friend back. Mom's coming home and she's going to be so mad. I got an 85 on my chemistry test today. Kara had a nightmare so I stayed with her instead of studying, I know that's what you would do but I know mom is going to freak. You would be proud of me though. Anyway I just needed to vent somewhere or else I know I will break. I love you dad to the galaxies and beyond.

Maggie was silently sobbing as she read Alex's entry. She knew that Alex had been through so much but to know what was going on in her head at the time, her heart brakes for Alex. Maggie put the diary down and snuggled into Alex kissing her forehead. Maggie promised herself that from this day forward she would do everything in her power to show Alex how much she is love and cared for.

Maggie woke up to an empty bed next morning. On Alex's pillow there was a sticky note.

Went for a Walk on the beach. If you wake up before I get back you can join me. 8:00.
Maggie looked at the clock to read 8:21. She hopped out of bed, got dress and quietly exited the house out the back. As she walked down the beach, she saw Alex sitting on a rock. As she got closer, she her Alex singing. Maggie could hear Alex's voice everyday and it would still take her breath away. Her voice was so graceful yet tangled with such emotion there wouldn't be a dry eye in the room.
"Morning love," Maggie said as the song ended.

Alex turned her head and smiled, "I wasn't sure you going to wake up."

Maggie laughed, "me either," Maggie said climbing onto the rock and resting her head on Alex's shoulder.

"Watcha doing out here so early?"

Alex exhaled deeply, "I was thinking about how we're leaving today and how I'm going back to work. About Zack and my mom. About Lena, she texted me asking if I could meet her at L-corp about Kara's anti-Kryptonian tech. About how our wedding is almost here but I wish I was already married to you because I can't wait to call you my wife."

"So a lot."
"yea."

"You wanna know what I'm thinking about?" Maggie asked and Alex nodded her head.

"How incredibly in love with you I am and I wish that I could call you my wife already."
Alex jump a bit, "then let's do it."
Maggie looked at Alex confused, "what?"
Alex gestured to the sky, "It's a beautiful day, J'onn is already ordained. My mom is here, Zack is here. The only people we need is Kara and Jennie, who would drop anything for our wedding. We don't need an audience; we just need us and our family. What do you say? I mean we haven't even sent invitations yet. I know I was supposed to but I forgot."
Maggie laughed, "Alex Danvers I would be honored to marry you. As long as Kara and fly our outfits over." Alex kissed Maggie.
"I gotta call Kara. We gotta tell my mom. Call Jennie." Alex said enthusiastically as she took her phone out.

"Kara is Alex, get your but out of bed. I need a favor. Get Maggie, Zack and mine's wedding outfits and bring them to Midvale. Maggie and I are getting married today."
"WHAT! But I thought the wedding wasn't for a couple more months." Kara yelled into the phone.
"We couldn't wait any longer. It's just family. If you want someone to drive it over, you can ask Jennie. Bring the arc you've been working on too."
