Kara was at her Bachelorette Party that Alex had insisted she have, while Lena sat with Sam, Alura, and Winn at her own. They were having a nice discourse about teleportation devices when Sam asked a question that froze Lena in place.
"So, Lena," She started. "Do you think your vows are going to even compare to Hopelessly-Romantic Kara's?"
Lena furrowed her brow. "She… she wrote vows?"
Sam laughed. "She's been calling Alex to see what she thinks of them for the past few days… You didn't know?"
Lena's heart began to pound. "I…" She shook her head. "She mentioned something about writing our own vows but I never… I never realized that was set in stone." Her eyes widened. "Oh my god. What am I going to do!?"

She growled in irritation as she flung yet another paper wad across the room… She had been trying to write the perfect wedding vows for hours now. She ended her bachelorette 'party' early, just to focus on her vows, and yet nothing seemed enough to describe just how much Kara meant to her.
"Kara, your eyes are like the key to my soul…" Sam read off of the twentieth paper wad. "Well, that's… that's beautiful, Lena."
Lena sighed. "But it isn't enough."
"You do realize that she isn't going to leave you at the altar just because you didn't write your own vows, right?"
Lena rolled her eyes. "I've got enough worrie about this; I don't need you adding even more bad scenarios to the list already running rampant in my mind."
Sam sighed. "She loves you."
"I know that, Sam," Lena replied. "And I'd like to be worthy of that love… especially on our wedding day."
Sam shook her head. "If you want to write vows, write what your heart wants to say to her, not what you think she would write… That's the only way you're going to be able to write something meaningful.
Lena smiled, utterly grateful that she had a best friend like Sam. "Thank you, Sam. That… That helps a lot."

She just finished writing the last sentence of her vows when the door to Kara's loft opened. Lena turned around to see Kara walk in with a feather lei around her neck. "Hey, baby." She greeted seductively.
Lena folded her vows and smiled. "Hey beautiful, how was the party?"
"It was okay. It was Hawaiian themed, we had Hawaiian pizza, and I ate lots of Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but now I'd very much like to eat something else." She whispered salaciously as she prowled over to Lena and leaned into her space.
Lena was aroused instantly. "Oh? What might that be?"
Kara smirked. "You."
Without a second word, she swiftly lifted Lena into the air and flew them to the bedroom for multiple rounds of earth shattering orgasms.

Kara rolled off of Lena after their fifth orgasm of the night.
They were both panting heavily, as she pulled the CEO into her side and wrapped her arm underneath and then around her waist.
"God that was even more amazing than last time." Lena breathed. "And I didn't think it got any better than last time."
Kara giggled. "It may help that I have superspeed."
Lena nodded listlessly. "That it does… Very much so."
They both laughed for a moment before Lena looked up at the love of her life. "I never want to have to live without you again." She admitted. "So please, if I let you down… Don't give up on me, because I'll never do anything to ruin us on purpose."
Kara shook her head. "Lena the only thing that'd ruin us is if one of us were unfaithful… or if we started killing people." She tried to joke with the last part, but Lena was serious… She needed to hear Kara say she wouldn't give up on her.
Kara sighed and sat up, laying Lena on her lap so that she was looking up at Kara. "The only thing that could end us would be infidelity, and I know that neither of us is capable of that… So we will be together until my dying breath. I will not give up on us, Lena, and I certainly won't give up on you. I promise."
Lena bit her lip, fighting back tears of relief. "I've never been so terrified of losing something." She admitted. "But what we have, Kara… It's so much more than I've ever known, and I just don't want to ruin it."
Kara leaned down and kissed Lena's forehead. "There's nothing that you're capable of doing that could ruin us, Lena. You're good. You're worthy. And I'm not going anywhere unless you want me to."
Lena bolted up instantly at the vulnerability in Kara's voice… She'd been so focused on her worries, that she hadn't even considered the fact that Kara might have some of her own. "What do you mean unless I 'wanted you to'?" She asked, a bit more harshly than she intended... She was just so dumbstruck that Kara would even think that were an option.
Kara averted her eyes. "Lena, I'm… I'm a very oblivious person." She admitted. "I didn't realize that you were in love with me for the past four years. I didn't realize that me being with Kell was hurting you. I didn't realize that you would understand where I was coming from during our fight if you'd only known that I was Supergirl. I didn't realize a lot of things when it came to you, so what's to stop me from being oblivious when something is wrong with us?" She asked. "I try so hard to pay attention to everything that involves you now, but I know that I'm still going to miss signs, how am I supposed to know when I'm doing something wrong?"
Lena's heart broke. Kara didn't realize how Lena was feeling because she hid it from her, and now Kara was blaming herself… That wasn't at all fair to her. "Kara… you were oblivious to it all because I wanted you to be oblivious. I hid my feelings from you, I never acted on them, and I pretended that I was okay with everything the way it was. That is on me, just like you hid your feelings from me, and that is on you. You wouldn't have been oblivious if I had shown you the way I was feeling, and you will never be blind to my feelings again because I am going to tell you from now on. I will tell you when I need something to change, or when I am sad or upset… but that won't be very often because you are the closest thing to perfection the world has ever seen." She put her hand beneath Kara's chin and tiled Kara's head so that they were eye to eye. "You're my soulmate, and I will never hide my soul from you again, Kara… Never."
Kara smiled. "Promise?"
Lena nodded. "On my life."
With that, Kara pounced Lena into the mattress, and they went for number six.
XXX
She is perfect.
She is gorgeous.
I'm the luckiest person alive.
Those were the only thoughts Lena's mind could focus on as she heard Kara singing.
She was walking down the aisle, Kara's friends and family on Earth on both sides of her as Kara stood front and center, walking down from the altar… Singing to her.
"All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world, all that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes, shining at me
When you smile I can feel all my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations seduce me 'cause I
I do, cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much, I do"
They met in the middle of the aisle, Lena's eyes were watery with unshed tears of utter euphoria… Kara was singing, singing a love song to her… On their wedding day.
She still wondered if she was still in a coma… if she was still unconscious after crash landing her ship on Argo, and this was all just one big elaborate dream.
Kara took her hand, and smiled lovingly as she continued to serenade he as she stared into her eyes, emphasizing that every word of the song was true.
"In my world before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
Until that day I found you
How you opened my life to a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all of my heart, until my dying day
I do, cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul"
They turned to walk side by side, hand in hand, down the aisle, while Kara kept her eyes on Lena as she finished the song.
"It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much, yes I do
I've waited so long to say this to you
So, if you're asking if I love you this much, I do
Oh, I do"
They reached the altar, and turned to face one another in front of Cat Grant, who Kara had insisted must officiate their ceremony.
Lena let out a shaky, happy breath as the ceremony began. They listened to the officiant talk about their love story, and then finally… It was time for their vows.
Kara cleared her throat, and squeezed Lena's hand as she spoke. "Lena, you are the love of my life. You are the missing half that finally made me whole. I know that everything in my life has led me to you… MY choices, my heartbreaks, my failures, and my successes. Everything, and every time I look into your eyes I know that it was all worth it. So, from this day forward I promise you my life. I promise to give you the best of myself and ask no more of you than you can give. I will share in your dreams and support as you strive to accomplish your desires. I promise to accept you for who you are, because I fell in love with you for you, and there is nothing I would change about you. I promise always to tell you the truth, to watch our for you and protect you at all costs. I promise to be loyal to you, and only you. To always come home to you, and to make you know that you are the love of my life, every day, until the end of time. Today, I promise, to be the best wife that I can be, and to always make you happy because, for the rest of my life, you're my other half."
Lena had tears of pure joy cascading down her face as she began reading her own vows. "Kara, from the moment we met, I thought that being your friend was my doom. I thought that I didn't want to be your friend, that I only wanted to be your partner… but I was wrong because standing before you today I realize that I do want to be your friend. I want to be the friend that you fall in love with a little more each day. I want to be the friend that you take into your arms and kiss passionately. I want to be the friend you wake up next to every morning and fall asleep cuddling with every night. The one friend that you take into the private world you have in your mind. I want to be the friend that you kiss every day, the one that you can joke with but also come to when things are wrong, and when they're perfect. I want to be your friend, and so, so much more, Kara. I want to be your partner in life, so today I promise you to trust you, and love you with all of my being for the rest of my life. I promise to be loyal, honest, and faithful to you until the day that time stops. I vow to treasure you, and make you know that you're the most important person in my world. I promise to share my life with you, the good times, and the bad times, until time ends. I promise to make you as happy as I possibly can, and to be the best friend, and lover you could possibly dream of. That's what I promise to you."
Kara smiled through her tears of utter joy as she wiped away her tears. "I love you." She whispered.
Lena smiled, relieved and ecstatic that Kara seemed to be moved by her vows.
"Maids of honor, the rings please?" Cat asked.
Alex handed Kara Lena's ring, while Sam handed Lena Kara's.
"Repeat after me," Cat ordered. When they both nodded in agreement Cat spoke. "With this ring, I give you my heart."
"With this ring. I give you my heart." Kara and Lena echoed.
Cat continued. "I promise that from today forward, you will never have to walk alone."
Kara and Lena repeated the sentiment in unison.
Cat finished "I promise that my heart will be your shelter, and my arms will be your home. With this ring, I thee wed."
Kara and Lena slid the rings onto each other fingers and smiled as they repeated the last of their vows. "I promise that my heart will be your shelter, and my arms will be your home. With this ring, I thee wed."
Cat smiled at the two of them and nodded "By the power invested in me by the state of California and .com I now pronounce you, Wife and Wife." As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed them together impatiently. "Well, what are you waiting for?" She asked. "Kiss your wife!"
Kara and Lena giggled momentarily before doing just that, and they kissed each other with fervor.
When they pulled back, Kara smiled the brightest smile Lena had ever seen. "I'm so in love with you, Mrs. Danvers."
Lena felt her stomach flutter… She liked that title. "And I, you, Mrs. Danvers." She replied giddily before kissing Kara once more.
"Okay. Okay. Get a room." Cat mocked. "I still have to introduce you two."
Lena blushed as Kara pulled back and winked at her.
Cat stood between them and put a hand on each of their shoulders. "I proudly introduce to you, Mrs. and Mrs. Danvers."
Lena beamed… She was finally after years of pining, married to the woman of her dreams…
Life just couldn't get any better than that.
