Prompt #33:New year's eve in Time Square

December 31st 2016

They had wanted to go to Time Square and planned for months,and since Cat was the head of CatCo she had even found them a good spot to look at the ball from and actually celebrate the new year. Cat was pregnant,so they needed the most comfortable spot away from the crowd but also into the middle of the feast.

Standing on the balcony,it was incredibly hot even if it was the end of December. They could feel the warmth of their love all around.

Carter run towards and between them,to touch Cat's growing belly.

"Mom,ma how is it going?"

"Still not time Carter"

"When does it come?"

"In ten minutes."

There had been a dinner jus between them,to celebrate the year they were entering which was the year in which Lexie,their daughter,would've been born.

They had eaten one of the greatest banquets of their lives,and Kara and Cat had almost had a contest to whoever ate more. All healthy,no potsticks,pizza,or anything like that. Those would've been ready for 1st of January,and Kara's hunger.

It had been funny to have a sort of contest,as she had to eat for two,and make sure Lexie grew bigger and stronger inside of her.

The ball was glowing,even in the dark although some minutes were missing,but people seemed to be ready to welcome new year,already. People kissing,throwing confetti all around,talking,singing,dancing. Everybody doing anything,just living and enjoying the night.

The hotel suite they had rented sat right in front of the Empire State Building. They had started planning right after Kara had healed,and though they were a bit late,they had gotten lucky enough to find one. Cat had apparently scared half the staff,and threatened them with firing them though it wasn't her job to.

The younger woman had laughed at the tale as Cat tried to explain she had just scared them a little bit.

Somewhere there had to be several tv channels,tabloids,media in general,filming the moment. Surely some from CatCo all the way from National City.

5 minutes till the new year.

Kara rolled back in and went to grab the champagne they had bought the day before. Once taken she came back out,close to her kids and wife again,stap the upper cap?

"We ready here?"

"Been waiting for this,for a bit ma"Cat and Kara laughed at Carter.

The ball glowed more strongly and started it's descent. Slowly. One by one,counting back from 60,the last minute of the year which had brought so many changes to their lives,and brought them together everyday,for the rest of their lives.

"10"it was called out by all the people in Time Square.

"9"Kara stole a look at Cat's eyes as they joined hands behind Carter standing in the middle. The whole family looking towards the same future.

"8"Cat marveled at the strength they had had,looking back,it had her excited she could live this moment.

"7"to the hope of a new family,which was clearly growing.

"6"Carter was glad to see the love between him and his mother renewed everyday,and to have found another motherly figure in Kara,who seemed to be into everything he did,and had a way to always give him good advices.

"5"pretty close to next year.

"4"

"3"

The ball dropped almost to the end,and Kara tipped the champagne bottle forward.

"2"

"1"the cap flew all the way down from the balcony and people bursted with joy,as the ball fell free on the mechanism which actioned the fireworks.

Cat kneed in front of Kara kissing her,then they both hugged Carter,tightly. An hand of the media mogul lying on her belly where she felt a soft kick.

To a new year of joy,adventures,and freedom. To who was to come,and still didn't know such usanza,and to who was already there. To the people at home,who would've probably been calling them in a couple of minutes. To the last because nonetheless all the difficulties and false steps they had survived,and the new one which they had awaited with lots of curiosity.

What was to come was unknown,but under those confetti,in the arms of each other,as a united family,they felt perfect. They felt happy and at peace,living the life they had always wanted.
