AN: Hey everyone! I'm back, I've been to Canada for a convention for Wynonna Earp which I strongly recommend watching! Now I'm back home and have fresh things to write for this story. I think I needed a step back to think about where to go next with it. Now, I have said before and will repeat, I don't follow canon to the book as I prefer to do my own thing. Thank you all for reading, and as ever please tell me what you think and what you would like to see. Thank you all :)
Lori was icing a cake when Lena walked through the door. Her usually tidy bun in her hair was askew and it was obvious that she had been crying. The young teen decided not to ask and instead stood there wearing a sweater that had once been Lena's. It was a grey sweater with some blue writing on it that Lori didn't understand but she did look cute in it. As Lena appeared around the corner, only to go to the fridge, she frowned, "Mom, I made a cake." She spoke softly, knowing that Lena was hurting. The teen truly cared about how her mother felt despite everything that Lena had put her through.
She still cared.
Lena glanced at Lori, giving her a small, yet timid smile. She then glanced at the cake which had a pink icing on the top, while the rest was brown and she guessed it was a chocolate cake. Lena raised her brow, "You know." She said softly, "You should be a baker or a chef, now they are the career paths you should take."
Lori nervously pushed her glasses up while smiling. She really did love 's all she thought they were, just compliments. In truth, she didn't think she was that good at baking. She looked back at Lena, "You know, I'm not sure. I feel like writing is my thing."
"So I've seen." Lena replied, pulling a bottle of wine from the fridge. She then placed it on the counter before opening the cutlery draw and pulling out a cork screw, "But, your talent is in cooking and I don't care what career path you take. I just want you to do whatever makes you happy and whatever you do, I want you to know that I'm here all the way." Lena could see that Lori was nervous. She then glanced at the wine bottle in front of her and realized the problem, "You're right." Lena shrugged even though Lori hadn't spoken a word, "When I'm upset I shouldn't drink…Not after last time."
"Mom, I-I'm not-" Lori spoke nervously.
Lena put her hands on Lori's shoulder's, "Hey, hey, you never said anything. I know you didn't. But it's the right choice. I don't want to hurt you again. Not ever, which is why…" She glanced at the wine bottle, "I'm not going to drink that tonight." She then paused, "Let's see, what time is it?" Her eyes found the clock on the wall, "Half-Eleven…" She then frowned, "You don't have school tomorrow do you?"
Lori shrugged, "No, why?"
"Well." Lena said after a breath. She glanced at the cake on the counter top, "I was thinking that tonight, I can make extra special hot chocolates and we can cut that cake which I know for a fact will taste amazing." A small smile graced Lena's lips as she looked at Lori, making Lori smile too, "And then." Lena carried on, "We can choose a movie before bed. Does that sound good?"
"It sounds amazing." Lori replied in almost a whisper, "Can I take a shower before we do anything?"
"Of course!" Lena beamed, "This is your home too, you know that. Don't ask. You go and shower, I'll make the hot chocolates, cut the cake and you can choose the movie."
"Breakfast at Tiffany's!" Lori gasped.
"That was a snap decision."
Lori shrugged as she walked backwards towards the bathroom, "I've always wanted to see it and I never got around to it."
"Until tonight." Lena finished her sentence.
Her daughter beamed with happiness, "Better late than never."
"Exactly." Lori laughed before going into the bathroom, and locking it behind her.
Lena's smile faded from her face once Lori was out of sight. Her heart was still shattered, but she knew that the one person to help her put herself back together was Lori. That's all she needed.
Gently, Lena pulled out her hair band and let her hair fall down her shoulders before leaning against the counter. She let out a huge sigh and almost jumped out of her skin when there was a knock at the door. The woman walked over to the door and glared at the man on the other side, "You know, after what has happened to our relationship, you are the last person I wanted to see." Her voice sounded shallow and cold.
"Lena." Winn said softly, "You both cornered me. You wanted to know." He cast his eyes to the floor, "I could have handled it better."
"We all could have." Lena said coldly, "I just wish you never said a word."
"What will happen will happen and there is no stopping it, no matter what we do to prevent it."
"Like Van Gough?"
"Like Van Gough." Winn said with a small smirk to the Doctor Who reference.
Lena surprisingly stepped aside, allowing Winn in. He nervously stepped over the threshold and turned back to face Lena, "I really am sorry you know."
"I'm guessing we all will be." Lena said quietly.
Winn swallowed hard, "Lena, Kara still loves you. She's just terrified of hurting you."
Lena almost snapped, "She broke my heart today. That's hurt enough." She then hissed, "That was down to you. Kara is afraid of what the future holds and now so am I! I'm…I'm pregnant with two of her children…" She then clicked, and a pale look crossed her face, "I'm pregnant with her children and I forgot."
Winn fell silent, before speaking up, "You will be the most amazing mom to the three of them."
Lena instinctively put her hand and her stomach, "You say that as if Kara won't be there."
Foot in mouth Winslow.
The computer whizz stuttered, "Lena…She…She will be there. Just…She will."
Lena scoffed, "I'll be a single mom. I know that for a fact, unless you tell me any different which I have a feeling you won't." She then sighed, "Are you here for anything else? If you aren't I'd like you to go."
Winn sighed, staring at Lena before deciding to leave, closing the door behind him.
…
Kara sat in the harbour, sitting in the moonlight. She was cross-legged on the floor and she stared up at the silver ball. A stray tear fell down her cheek, and she wiped it with the back of her hand. She thought crying was pathetic, especially when she was the one that ended it between her and Lena.
She looked to the side of her and saw a rock that looked like a lump of coal and picked it up. She dropped it the moment it burned her hand. She hissed, dropping the rock. She looked at her hand and then glanced at her burned hand, wondering what the hell just happened. The rock glowed blue for a second before turning dark.
Kara backed away from the rock and jetted into the air, cracking the pavement as she did.
…..
Two hours later, the credits of the movie were rolling. Lori was snoring softly on Lena's chest. The mom briefly glanced down at her child and smiled, "At least I still have you." She whispered before kissing her forehead. Lena lay there for two more minutes before deciding to move. Just as she was about to pick the teen up, she heard a knock at her balcony doors which made her jump. She growled quietly before heading over.
Frustratedly, she pulled the doors open and glared at the woman on the other side, "What are you doing here? It's half-one in the morning and I was about to take Lori to bed."
"Let me do it." Kara said with a smile, before strutting her way inside as if she owned the place, "And how could you still be able to lift her? She's fifteen."
"And very light." Lena said pointedly as Kara lifted the teen with no effort. She followed Kara into Lori's bedroom and watched as she moved the covers before placing Lori down. Kara then took a moment to admire the beauty and reflection of her younger self on Lori's face, "I was that young once and beautiful."
Lena scoffed, "What are you talking about? You haven't changed or aged a bit."
"I still age Lena." Kara giggled, "Just slower than humans." The Kryptonian gave Lena a look that the Luthor knew all to well. A lustful look. Lena's heart sped up and she knew that Kara knew as she saw Kara smirk. Lena swallowed hard, and tried to change the subject, "Will Lori age slower? Will our children age slower?"
Kara walked over to Lena, following her out of Lori's room, "Well, Lori is fifteen and she still looks about thirteen, but at this point it is hard to tell."
The Luthor watched Kara carefully as she walked into the kitchen area, "Well, thank you for putting Lori to bed, but I have to be up early in the morning so if you could tell me what you came for and go that would be great."
"Go?" Kara laughed as if it was the most insane idea Lena had ever had.
"Yeah, go." Lena said pointedly, "We aren't together anymore so there isn't a reason for you to stay."
Kara then spoke her thoughts outloud, "Apart from great sex."
"Excuse me?!" Lena hissed, "Kara what you and I had-you decided that it's gone." The Luthor saw Kara pout and crossed her arms, "Leave."
The Super sped her way over and kissed Lena heavily. Initially, Lena pushed Kara away but Kara kept on holding her. It didn't take long for Lena to give in, stripping Kara of her clothes and pulling her onto the counter. Lena wanted to dominate Kara and that's exactly what she did, however, some of Kara's kisses bruised but she didn't care. If this was goodbye sex, in some weird, twisted way, she wanted it to hurt. She wanted it to hurt the same way her heart did.
In the morning, Lena groaned. She was in pain everywhere, and as she opened her eyes, the sun blinded her. As she looked up, she saw a sight that both terrified and aroused her at the same time.
Kara's hair was down, she was wearing black eyeliner while wearing a black blouse, tight black jeans and black shoes. She wanted to bite her lip so hard, but the part that terrified her was when she saw Kara holding a knife. It was so clean that the sun reflected from it. She held the handle on one end while her left index finger was on the point as she was twisting it.
As reality hit Lena, she tried moving her arm, but found it handcuffed above her. The Luthor's heart was in her chest as she pulled at her wrist. Before she could speak, Kara did.
"Well, last night was fun." Kara remarked with a laugh and an evil smile, "Let's see what today has in store."
"Lori…Where is she? LORI!" Lena screamed, and tried again to move her restrained arm, "Where is my daughter?!"
"Don't you mean, our daughter?" Kara hissed. Her whole attitude and persona had changed. Lena hated it. The Super then shrugged, "She was taken about an hour ago. Kicking and screaming, it's fine though."
Lena thought she was going to be sick, "Where is my daughter you bitch?!"
Kara walked over and knelt on the side of the bed, "Look, all you have to do is as you are told. You've been out for a while after I gave you some sedation earlier, but everything will be fine. Just do as I say and no one gets harmed."
"What the hell happened to you Kara?" Lena gasped, out of breath.
"Well, last night I found a rock. It burned me and I'm guessing it was one that you used and it somehow ended up in the trash and not destroyed-oops! And here I am." She said with pride, stepping back and holding out her arms, "The new me."
Lena glared at her, "I will not ask again-"
"Oh but you will." Kara laughed, "Where is your Lori? Where is Kara? I'm right here and now I control you and we will get married and I will be a Luthor. You? You will be made a Luthor and get back in touch with your roots."
Lena fell silent, anger swept through her veins as she looked straight ahead of her. If she didn't have anything to lose, this wouldn't be such a problem, but she did have something to lose.
Her children.
