"I understand if you're angry or you're afraid of me, Kaelah" Kon-el whispered, getting a little bit closer, making me hug Kyron in a protective way, who seemed to perceive the situation, since he hugged me threatening to start crying. "I came to apologize for everything I did to you, but if after this you want me to leave, I will" he stared at me and I nodded slightly.

I listened to his apologies without barely daring to look at him, feeling like Mon-el placed his hand on my shoulder to keep me as calm as possible, although, the truth is, I was more relaxed than at first. For a moment I reconsidered telling him to leave, but he was being honest in his words, so I allowed him to stay in that room, although it was quite tense between the two brothers.

"Hi" it was Kyron who broke one of the silences, waving his little hand. "Mommy ..." he pointed to me before saying hello again, but this time heading towards Kon-el.

"Hey, little boy" he smiled at him, making the boy smile slightly before trying to crawl to him and, even though Mon-el made an attempt to stop him, he managed to get there, although he did not lose his chance to bite him in the hand , just as he had been doing for a while.

"Kyron, what did we say about biting?" I scolded him, observing how he smiled.

"It does not matter, it's okay" Kon-smiled, taking him in his arms. "What's wrong, baby?" He raised him getting the laughter of the child, who pointed to Mon-el while calling him. "It's daddy, huh?" He tickled him. "Kaelah, can we talk alone?" He questioned his gaze to his brother, who was shaking his head.

"Mon-el, I'll be fine" I looked him directly in the eyes and, despite being insecure, I asked him to leave with the children, which I accomplished after a few minutes, when I looked towards Kon-el waiting for him to start talking.

However, all he did was sit on the edge of the bed and bury his face in his hands, making me observe him with some intrigue, until he looked at me again with tears in his eyes. I frowned, not knowing if I should believe any word he was going to say next, but I had to listen to him.

"I'm sorry" he whispered closing his eyes. "I shouldn't have treated you that way, prin ... Kaelah, but I was jealous that my brother had managed to fall in love, that those feelings were not directed towards me and ..., each time I saw you near him or just heard you name him ... it made me mad to think that you never, absolutely never, were going to love me" he explained that tears were gathering in my eyes. "I did not think you were capable of killing me, you did ... but during these months, the times that I saw how you smiled every time you were with him ..., you are destined to be together" he commented causing the tears to slide down my cheeks. "I can go if it is what you want" he assured.

"No, don't go, Kon-el" I asked him. "I accept your apology" I smiled at him. "I can not forget what you did to me, I never will, but I suppose it is best that we leave it in the past" I said to what he nodded.

"Thanks," he whispered with a smile. "The Kryptonians are more understanding than I imagined," he said.

"And the daxamites are not so bad either" I laughed getting him to laugh as a result of the comment. "I'm glad we can get along, Mon-el needs you at his side, he's your brother" I looked at him.

The fact that we got along did not only imply my welfare, but that Mon-el could recover his lost years with his brother, because he needed him, I was aware of it, so I hoped it could happen.

Two years later

During these last years a lot of things had changed, not only for me, but for others, because Kon-el was involved in our life in a way that I never thought he was going to do, in fact, the twins adored him, so they did not complain when they should stay with him, which had left us more free time. Kara seemed to be quite serious with Ethan and, truthfully, I was happy for them, because they had managed to be together despite the setbacks they had suffered. As for me, I had not come to forgive my uncle, although I used to act as if nothing had happened when we were all together, but I was sure that I would never be able to trust him again, however, at the moment I was in one of my worst moments

Right now I was in the DEO, waiting, rather begging him to return to life, as I had been doing for a week, since I could not stand the idea that Mon-el was in a coma, much less because of CADMUS. However, the only thing they told me was that they could not assure me that he was going to wake up, which is why I had directed my anger towards Alex before starting to cry.

"Kaelah, it's going to be fine" she whispered hugging me, but I was not sure if that was a reality. "You have to go home and rest, you need it, I'll call you if there's any news" she said making me shake my head, I didn't want to go home.

I ended up leaving, surprised when I saw both children sitting at table, without getting up to run to me, so I approached them before turning my gaze to Kon-el.

"You didn't have to do any of this," I whispered to what he only shook his head. "Can you put them to bed?" I asked without even listening to his answer, as I went straight to the room to throw myself on the bed and start to cry.

A few minutes passed until he decided to enter the room looking for me, but I did not bother to turn to look at him, trying to contain my sobs at his presence, although it was not possible, because I could not avoid them. I felt him sitting on the edge of the bed, watching me as if he expected me to look at him, finally placing his hand on my back wanting to calm me down.

Maybe it was selfish of me to do this, because it was true that he was also suffering from the uncertainty of what was going to happen to his brother, but I could not help but behave this way, since I felt completely overcome by what it happened, for thinking that there was a possibility that he would not wake up again.

"You should eat something," he whispered, but I did not even bother to answer something. "Kaelah, hey, I mean it." He tried to get my attention and I should not say he got it, but I ended up looking at him.

"I'm not hungry" I answered in a whisper.

"But you should do it, you need to eat" he pushed the hair from my face. "Do it for him, because he will not want to see you suffering when he wakes up" he commented, to which I shrugged, I did not even know if he was going to wake up. "Just a little," he continued, making me sit up.

I followed him to the kitchen, sitting on one of the chairs while resting my head on my hands, feeling watched again, which made me look at him for a few seconds.

"A little, Kaelah," he whispered, putting a plate of food in front of me, which made me shake my head. "Eat" he put the plate closer, so I started eating, but I was not able to finish it."Good job" he smiled the moment I got up to go back to the room, this time with the sole intention of falling asleep.

Both children smiled when they saw him, running to him to hug his legs, a fact that had become commonplace during these last weeks, which was beginning to worry him, for Kaelah, about the distance she was putting with the children.

"Is Mommy sick too?" Kaia asked as innocently as possible.

"No, sweetie, it's just ..." he sighed, bending down at the little girl's height. "Mommy is tired" he spoke without knowing what to say exactly.

"She doesn't read stories with us aymore" the little girl threatened to start crying.

"She will, everything will be as before, okay?" he smiled as he got up.

The rest of the way home was completely silent, not surprised to find Alura in the apartment, because with the passage of time Kaelah was neglecting herself. Kaelah had spent three whole days in the DEO, next to Mon-el, without even bothering to eat, so the decision had been to monitor her, to find someone with her to make sure she did not commit any kind of madness.

Kaelah lay completely asleep on the couch while Alura helped him with both children, but it was Kaia who came to where her mother was to hit her shoulder wanting to wake her up, starting to cry when she did not get it.

"Kaia, sweetheart" Alura took her in her arms wanting to calm her down. "Mommy is asleep, baby, she needs rest" he explained.

He wanted to tell the conversation he had had with the child before, but it was not until both children were distracted when he dared to speak, showing concern about it, reaching a conclusion, they needed to talk to Kaelah.
