Prompt #28:A day out with the twins,and SuperCat's granddaughter.
Baby day. Literally. Carter and his wife had decided to take a day out,so they had left Lily with her,and the twins. The house was silent,but they knew that between all the needs of the kids they would've had their hands full. Nonetheless they were happy to have an entire day with them. Morning,was lazy as it could be. As soon as Carter and Lexie left they went outside and laid on the swing seat with their granddaughter and two youngest born. They didn't stand there hand in hand,and chose to take a trip to the city,as soon as the sun stopped being so scorching. End of summer was still as unforgivable as ever. So much that they still would get confused about the weather. Their own day in National City,with Cat free from every job for this week,made it's own sense. Adam,who for years had been a bachelor turning a bit of the world,and who had only recently chosen to go live with his girlfriend in the city,had given them the biggest news he could've. He was getting married. Yeah right. Adam,the same Adam of always. The 43 year old mischevious instigator of the instigators of fun was getting married. To a very nice and decent woman too.
They were so excited about the news that the date ended up turning into a fun day for adult sized babies. Basically they did everything,the twins and Lily would've done if they had been a bit older than 3,and almost 2.
First thing first,they shared ice cream.
"The kids need to meet the noble art right now,since now that they're little."
"You'll pay for the dentist young lady. For your granddaughter as well"
"With pleasure"
Nonetheless being as old as Adam,Kara was still in love with her junk food and deeply convinced the little ones shall learn such art just like Lexie had. Carter had started enjoying it from time to time,but he had stayed healthy. For the DEO,he said. But Kara knew better than that.
"You're incorrigible Kara"
"I learned from the best"
If she could've,Cat would've swatted her,but Kara moved away,rolling forward and laughing.
"Alright kids,grandma/mom seems to have lost her mind. You won't be eating any ice cream till we're sure your teeth won't fall off"
"Cat,stop scaring the kids and come here"
They walked into the park,as Kara went for the third donut of the day,showing it to the three kids,looking at her and the object in her hand interestedly.
When they got over having walked the park several times instead of sitting down they actually called for their car and let themselves be driven to a place which was far closer than thought in the city. The beach.
"What about that one time we went to the sea all those years ago,and Lexie was little?"
"Mommie,mama,come here let's make a sand castle"
"How long did it take for that castle to come up?"
"The whole total of three hours. But it was beautiful,it was as high as CatCo"
It was massive. Even Carter and Adam were impressed. It was high and well proportioned,and Lexie was pretty proud of it. At 6 years old she already had great plans. She didn't know what her future would've been,but whatever she did,she put everything in it.
"Do you wanna make one?"
"Kara,one here?"
"Right here,where we made it when Lexie was little"
They fixed up better on the sand,as they put the kids between them,as they crawled around.
After three hours of hard work,it was legitimate when Lexie bursted in tears because the water washed it away.
"It was washed away. Lexie cried so much. But I also remember what you told her"
"Honey,I know it was very beautiful and you worked hard for it,it was a goal you reached,and some day this wish to do everything at your best will actually repay you. Yes it's not there. But we got the photos,everybody will see how good it was,and the passion you put into things,that I know you can't lose"
"You're good Cat. You told her exactly what she needed to hear"
"I told her,what she knew inside of her heart."
Their hands entertwined,just like their eyes,and they would've stayed into their fantasy hadn't it been for one of the kids crying. Hands full,and usual activity,same calm landscape they had always needed.
