It's been a few hours since Alex and Kara left to get the paint, I wonder what's taking them so long. Knowing them they went crazy with colors; this kid has no idea what he's in for with this family. It's lots of love but also a lot of crazy in a good way. I'm glad Alex and I agreed to raise Jade together even though we aren't going to be dating. I still think us raising Jade is going to be good for her it might be weird to other people when she starts school, but we can worry about that when the time comes. Right now though being with her Lena and Collin; I'm part of a family and I haven't been apart of one for a long time. It's nice to know I have people that love and care about me.
"Mama look cookie!", Jade said as she ran over to me to show me the cookie Lena had given her.
"That looks like a yummy cookie baby girl.", I said to Jade with a smile on my face.
"It should be, it was my grandmother's recipe. She always made the best cookies.", Lena said to us with a smile on her face.
"I wish I got my grandmother's recipes when she passed. But thanks to my family disowning me when I came out I got nothing.", I said to Lena with a sad expression on my face.
"Well you know some of your mother's' recipes right?", Lena asked me.
"I do.", I said with a smile.
"Then you can pass that down to Jade. Start writing them out; or letting her help make them like you did yesterday.", Lena said to me; which was a great idea I never even thought of that.
"That's a great idea, never thought of that to be honest.", I said to Lena as Alex and Kara walked back into the apartment.
"I was beginning to think you two bought the whole store.", Lena said to them with a teasing smile on her face.
"Well not exactly but we did buy some stuff. I was thinking we could keep your apartment for when you have a lot of business meetings we can stay here and then go back and forth to Midvale.", Kara said to Lena.
"I didn't think of that. We should do that; we can have a room here for Collin and then another one when we get the house. I'm assuming you bought stuff for his room then?", Lena said then asked.
"Yeah we bought shelves and stuff that we can put up. We also got picture frames and things.", Kara said with a smile on her face.
"Good thinking Mama.", Lena said as Collin started to fuss in my arms. Lena and Kara both turned to me and went into panic mode.
"Shh it's okay little man, someone needs a burping huh?", I said to Collin as I could feel his stomach making gas noises. I put him to my shoulder and patted his back a little to get him to burp.
"Mama no hurt Collin.", Jade said as she came over to me and patted my leg.
"I'm not hurting him Jade, babies need help to burp.", I said to my daughter with a smile on my face as Collin burped.
"Maggs how did you know that? Just yesterday you were freaking out about being a mom and now you're like an expert on babies.", Alex said to me which got me to laugh.
"Not an expert just felt his stomach rumble with gas. Made sense that he needed to burp. I have to embrace this whole parent thing don't I?", I said to them with a laugh to my voice.
"That is true.", Alex said.
"Well thank you for taking care of him. We still have to get used to his cries I guess.", Lena said as I placed Collin in her arms.
"Not a problem. Let's start painting his room.", I said to everyone. Lena put Collin in their room as the rest of us headed into Collins room to paint.
"Jade do you want to help?", Kara asked Jade with a smile on her face.
"I too wittle.", Jade said with a pout on her face.
"If it's okay with your mommies I can help you.", Kara said asking permission to float a little off the ground with Jade in her arms.
"Just be careful please.", I said as Alex nodded her head to agree.
"Of course. Come here Jade.", Kara said as she took Jade into her arms and took a paint brush as she floated a little; which got Jade to giggle with excitement.
"Mommies I flyin'.", Jade said in between her giggling.
"We can see baby girl. Wait we never asked if she knew if Kara was an alien.", Alex whispered to me with her eyes wide.
"Well with her reaction I'm assuming she knows or just doesn't care.", I said to Alex with a small smile on my face watching our daughter with her aunt.
"Jade, did your other mommies tell you that Aunty Kara is different?", Alex asked Jade once Kara placed her on the floor.
"No, but I knows. Aunty Kara no wear glasses when I go with Mommy to work.", Jade said with a smile on her face.
"You are a smart little one aren't you?", I asked her with a smile on my face as she smiled back and nodded her head.
"See I tell people all the time those glasses do nothing. A three year old can tell you are Supergirl.", Alex said which got all of the adults to laugh as Jade looked at us like we were crazy.
"Well it helps whether you believe it or not.", Kara said to Alex as she stuck her tongue out at her.
"Aunty Kara they no help.", Jade said to Kara which got us all to laugh again. I swear this kid is going to be one hell of a teenager when she gets older. She's got so much of Alex's attitude, I just hope that doesn't come back to bite us in the ass later on.
"That's it you little stinker, no flying for you.", Kara said as she tickled Jade which got her to giggle.
"Aunty Kara no tickle. Aunty Lee help!", Jade said as she ran behind Lena's legs and hid from Kara.
"What's going on in here? Why are you going after our niece?", Lena asked playing along with Jade.
"She's being a little stinker and needs to be punished.", Kara said with a joking tone as she went to tickle Jade again; Jade squeaked and then ran away from Kara while laughing. "Stop her!", Kara said in a playful voice as Jade ran behind Alex still giggling.
"Mommies save me!", Jade said with a giggle to her voice as Kara got closer.
"Hands off my daughter.", Alex said as she grabbed Kara by the waste and playfully tickled Kara.
"Oh Rao no.", Kara said as she started to giggle.
"We found her weakness, Jade help Mommy.", I said to Jade as Alex and Kara fell to the floor laughing as they were tickling each other as Jade ran over to them to join them.
"Tickle Aunty Kara!", Jade said as she jumped on Kara's stomach and started tickling her with Alex. I saw Lena take her phone out and started video taping the scene on her phone.
"Two against one this isn't fair.", Kara said in between her giggling.
"I think it's pretty fair since you are an alien and it take two of us to get you down.", I said to Kara with a laugh to my voice.
"So not fair, Lee help.", Kara said as she looked up to Lena who was laughing her self.
"I think you can handle this yourself. You are an alien after all.", Lena said with a smirk on her face.
"So I leave for school and you have fun without me?", We all heard Ruby say from the door.
"Aren't you supposed to still be at school?", I asked her.
"Midterm week, I only had two test today. I went to Alex's apartment and no one was there so I figured you were here.", Ruby said with a small smile on her face.
"Shit Rubes sorry, we got so caught up with everything. We shouldn't have forgotten about you.", Alex said as she went over to Ruby and hugged her.
"It's okay you didn't mean to do it. Can I help though?", Ruby asked with a smile on her face.
"You sure can, pick up a paint brush and get too it.", I said to Ruby with a smile of my own as we all went back to painting.
"This is a cute color, which one of you picked it out?", Lena asked as we began to paint the walls.
"Alex actually did, I was going to pick a light blue but she's the one who thought the dull blue would look better for a baby. I kind of like it.", Kara said to Lena with a smile on her face.
"I love it.", Ruby said as she was helping Jade paint a wall.
"Where's Cooper?", Alex asked when she noticed that Cooper wasn't near Jade for once.
"He's with Collin in our room. He wouldn't come when I told him too. He just laid down near Collin's bassinet and stayed there.", Lena said to us with a shoulder shrug.
"He's such a good dog.", Alex said with a smile on her face.
"Very protective of his family that's for sure.", Kara said.
"I like that though at least I know our house will be protected if anyone ever tried to come in. He scared Winn and Barry though.", Alex said with a laugh to her voice at the last sentence.
"Oh god I would have loved to see that.", I said to her with a laugh to my voice as everyone else laughed too.
