#Prompt #9 Cat and the kids arrange a surprise birthday party for Kara(all the thanks to BiaZor-El for the prompt.)
The idea had been pretty cool. The kids had suggested a surprise party,and for once Cat had decided to do things on her own,and only get help when strictly necessary. So they had gone out all by themselves and bought everything they needed. Yes even balloons and pointy hats which she had sworn as soon as she had turned 10 to never wear at all again. But Lexie had liked them,and what she said went. Just as it had always been for Carter. She and Kara had long ago given up on being the first ones to choose about these things. And who minded?At 4,the kid had quite the taste,even with pointy hats,and the whole thought had her laughing imagining what her wife would've looked like in one of those. Kara being out for a few hours would've helped their purpose. Even if she didn't work anymore,this didn't mean she had stopped enjoying going around with friends or doing the Supergirl duty. The former was the reason of her being out at the moment and them having the whole house to themselves to organize the party and call friends. Try as she might things were getting harder. Lexie had fallen in love with the balloons Cat herself had inflated and Carter was uselessly trying to pack their gifts,while she took care of the round of calls,food and everything else that was needed.
Once all those things were ready,and Cat's mind was finally even if not completely put to rest,she chose to go for their biggest task. A task no sane mother of two would go for,considering the chances of possible failure. A task which could become a tiny bit too fantasious.
The task of making the cake. Yes Cat Grant in Danvers,the media mogul,who would always face things bravely, was about to make one,all by herself with her kids,and the worry couldn't be described.
"Alright kids we need to get all that's necessary to make the cake"
While Carter busied himself with finding,flour,milk and other things,Lexie just kept running around the kitchen clearly not knowing where to look for things. As far as their little girl was concerned,she was just as hopeless in the kitchen as her mothers. Carter was the only exception.
"One day you'll tell me how you do this,young man"
"Some surfing the net here and there,maybe cooking programs on the tv"he said,laughing,as Cat gasped.
"You didn't just do that"
"I think so mom."
She lunged at him and crushed Carter in a bear hug,laughing.
"Mom,mom,can't breathe"he stated,though hugging back.
"Yeah excuse me Carter. We shall get into doing our cake"
"Mommie can I do the…the…writing?"
"Yes. And what do you want to write,little one?"
She bent down and picked Lexie up before sitting her down on one of the stools in the kitchen.
"To our biggestest hero"added the kid swinging her legs playfully as she grabbed some flour in her small fist.
The older woman smiled at her,while her brother messed up her hair playfully.
Cat and Carter made the cake and let Lexie play with some of the dough and eat it with the cutest curious look on her face.
They welcomed friends and family easily and went back to the kitchen as soon as they were all settled and doing something. Some even helping with decorations.
The preparation,luckily seemed to be easier than foreseen at the beginning by the media mogul. Even the writing came out perfectly. But she also know the so said "never say never". Cat had worked with it everyday since she had gotten into the media business.
There had been an high probability of something happening while taking care of the cake and it did,straight behind her head with an aim which had nothing to envy to Kara's.
She turned and looked at Lexie,twirling softly on the stool and uselessly trying to make it look as if she hadn't been the one to throw the dough. Cat knew that look all too well. A smaller version of Kara's "pure mischief"look reflected in a just as smaller version of her own blue shade of eyes.
"Ohh noo,don't be that way little one,I know it was you."
"Lexie. Food fight"
What happened later,was something that would've surely gone unforgotten and ended up in the books of memorable things in their family.
Carter started a full food fight.
Cat tried to slide far from the commotion and managed to save the cake by putting it away into the fridge for as long as it needed to be there,while the kids got around throwing things.
She watched,mouth agape,as flour flew mid air like the milky way in the sky,and some milk spilled on the floor,as balls of dough were made. Other ingredients ended up being involved in the fight between siblings,and between this and that even Cat got involved in it.
When the floor became slippery she fell to it laughing her heart out,while Carter and Lexie run around the kitchen,after each other. So far,nobody had won. What one lacked in height the other made up in speed and viceversa.
The kids both run out of her vision and into the living room. She lost the conception of time,as she just sat there,enjoying the moment,and then up trying to clean the little mess they had made.
Cat couldn't believe she actually managed to clean up the whole space completely before she heard the key turning in the keyhole of the door.
She bolted back into the living room and hopped behind her chosen spot. Winn and Kara were back. All lights were turned off in waiting of the celebrated.
The door opened,and Kara came in,going straight away for the light.
"Surpriseeee"
Kara looked at them for some long,interminable moments as her smile became a full beam and turned into a laughter in the span of seconds,before she managed to stutter out what she wanted to say.
"T-Thanks"
The younger woman rolled towards them and said a round of "hi"s and happily accepted their best wishes,before stopping in front of her family.
"You made the cake?"
Cat looked at her not exactly understanding the question. How had Kara guessed they were the ones who had made the cake. In short…it was not like…
Her eyes widened and looked around several times at their guests before going down to her clothes and the kids as they hugged Kara,wishing her happy birthday as well.
They were still dirty with everything they had thrown to each other in the kitchen. Some flour had even ended up on her wife's clothes,with the kids being with her.
She brought her hands to her hips,smiling with checks as red as roses.
"Well..happy birthday,honey"
"Come here"and she did,kneeing right in front of Kara and hugging her as the blonde let go of Carter and Lexie and kissed her.
"You're very beautiful Cat. I even got the surprise of seeing you with flour on."
"Oh shush will you?"added Cat pushing her lovingly ,as Kara laughed back at her.
