Prompt #40:Lexie marries her high school sweetheart.
February 2037
Where had time gone by?Was it yesterday only they had held her,and now she was going through the most important day of her life?Kara and Cat had been a bit doubtful about Lexioe doing it when she was still so young,at first,but she and William had been together for the past four years,and he was family by now. It wasn't unthinkable to see her going at it when she was still 20. She was still little to them. Still soft cheeks and hugs. But it would ve been even hypocritical to not let her go. She had already come into her duties as Supergirl,and been at this for months,then announced to them she was getting married,on her birthday even. She had been proposed to on graduation day.
Sitting and standing right there helping Lexie dress up, they realized just how quick it had been for them. This ride had them busy and excited everyday,with unexpected things which hadn't even existed into their minds before getting together.
Their free time,which was now almost unlimited, had gone all over trying to help Lexie with all she needed for her wedding. A place,the dress,down to every little thing,to make sure it was perfect.
William had ultimately proposed both the locations,and both the women had been happy with that,as they had shared costs. Even Lexie who wasn't a fashionable person who minded the sparkling and things like that.
Adam had gone for a massive feast in a fancy hotel when it had been his turn,whereas Carter's wedding had been a cozy affair in the same garden where they had married in 2016,and renewed their vows in 2031.
Lexie was,had always been,a tomboy,but she had loved the idea considering she had fancied partying back in the days.
Her dress fell perfectly long over her tall,but slender figure,with swarosk all over the corsetto and a long veil.
"Mom,mama,daydreaming a lot?"
"Yeah,sorry kiddo,it's just…hard…for us"
"Nah,I'm gonna be fine,you'll see."
"We know,we know. William is precious. But it's not easy to let go,Alexandra"
"Mom,you haven't called me like that…in like…forever"laughed out the girl,as Cat smothered her with kisses.
"Yeah,yeah"it was all she could say trying to keep the tears at bay.
Kara around her to face her.
"Ready for your things?"
Lexie smiled and nodded.
"Alright..mmm..something blue…here"
Kara handed her a piece of blue fabric,which she recognized from the shade right away. It was crafted like a ribbon,and must have taken a lot of work to be turned into it.
"It was part of my Supergirl dress. It's a sign of strength and trust,I know those two things will be with you in this journey."
It was appointed to the bouquet,between the flowers.
"Something new"stated Kara next.
It was a pair of shining earrings William himself had sent gifted her with that morning.
"Something old"
Cat fastened a necklace around her neck. It had been in her family for generations. She herself had worn it as her something old when she had married Kara.
They were interrupted by an head peaking into the room.
"Ma,mom,Lex you ready?"
Carter. He was ready. The choice over who was to walk her down the aisle had fallen upon him. While the twins were gonna be throwing flowers and bearing the rings. Adam had applied for best man,plus her two maids,she had been friends with for a very long time.
"Yeah,almost"
"Wait up. Here"
Her something borrowed had come.
Kara started laughing,while Cat's eyes widened.
She sat down and wore her something borrowed and the shoes,then she was ready.
One last look around the room which had always been hers,and Lexie walked out of the penthouse to load the car to the church.
William was protestant,but it had been no problem for him to know Lexie would keep on following the kryptonian ways. Their kids would've gotten to choose whatever they wanted to.
Once Kara and Cat reached the first row,Carter and Lexie were left alone behind the doors to wait for the procession to start walking down the aisle.
"You're trembling kiddo"
"I am…I'm getting married Carter,I'm kind of entitled to do so."
"Walk straight without looking down,or you'll fall on your face and that won't make for your future sex appeal,and just think about how good it's going to be when you're finally married"
"And kids?"
"If they're anything like you,let's get ready for domination"
"Hey,Lily is just as mischievous and she's almost 8"
"Look forward"he said pointing at the door with his head.
She knew she had never held so much onto him the way she held his arm once the doors opened and both their families stood up. For once she felt as if her tomboyish demeanor was giving way to her emotional,romantic side. Which by the way she had,and couldn't really be denied by now.
"Look forward Lex,just look at him,I got you"
He did. He always had. She looked forward and met the eyes of all the people she had always loved. Uncles and aunts,moms,her siblings,her niece,everybody. Every single person who had given her something up 'till this moment.
"Who gives this woman to this man?"
Lexie looked at Carter,just standing there. He was holding her arm in a very tight grip.
"You can let go now,Cartie."
He came out of his trance and kissed her cheek smiling,then he grabbed her hand before performing a gracing hand kissing and putting it into William's stretched open one.
For Lexie the rest of her life was beginning,and Carter couldn't repress his pride as he looked at her taking this step. But also a pull at his heart knowing she wasn't a little girl anymore. It was just as hard to him to let go of that baby who hadn't wanted him to get out of the room just to be together.
Well,even if this was hard on him,he was sure she would have been safe on this day and had lots of good luck in the future thanks to those borrowed worn out,but cherished black gloves to her hands.
Author note:the gloves Carter is referring to are those from chapter 12.
