A month had passed since Eliza came to live with them, during this time Lena had began her search to find a service dog to Kara. It was an expensive dog that had to be trained and the person would also have to train. Lena had already put Kara on the waiting list for this, they were about to receive one. And a person would come to train with them and the dog.

Lena had installed some alert buttons throughout the house so if something would happened to Kara or someone who was with her would be able to press it and Lena would go running. As she talked with the facility that trained the dogs she learned that the dog could be the one to alert her as well. So this was a good thing that she did, because Eliza wouldn't be able to stay with them forever.

Regardless of the dog and of the alert buttons she had installed, Lena still didn't want to say too long away from Kara. Her wife had been having constant seizures even with the medicine she was taking, so Lena decided to step down from L-Corp. Sam took over as CEO, and when all of this was settled, if ever she would be back there, but for now Kara was her priority and she would do anything for her wife.

And that's what she had been doing, she had been developing, or trying to anyway, a cure for the seizures. But it wasn't easy, and every attempt she had made had failed so far. So she decided to take the research to her home office/lab instead of doing in at L-Corp, so she could be closer to Kara.

Kara had been feeling the worst she'd felt in a while. Her head was constantly pounding, her body thinning out because she'd stopped going to the gym, not having the stamina or the energy to get out of the house. She knew she was into depression, she had all the signs. She had even stopped doing her stretches in the morning, making her legs stiffer and the atrophy to settle more on them. But the only thing on her mind these days was going through a day without a seizure and she only managed that a few times now.

She knew her mother was there to take care of her while Lena wasn't there, and that didn't make her feel good, but at the same time she relished in the comfort her mother provided. She still hadn't gone to therapy since she talked with Lena, mainly because she was afraid of leaving her house. Every time she thought about going out a was a sort of panic spread through her, making her stand still, her bones getting heavy and preventing her from moving. She had an inkling that maybe this was a panic attack, but she hadn't expressed this yet. She knew Lena would just want her to go even more if she knew it.

Her mom was making lunch while she was sitting at the couch watching Netflix. Her chair was just beside the couch within her reach. Her back had been hurting this week, she imagined it had been all the odd angles she had laid in the floor while having seizures. She had taken a feel pills, but the pain hadn't gone away yet. It was a crappy day already.

Eliza had just called having finished making lunch; she was reaching for her chair when she felt it. By now she knew all the signs that precede a seizure. And so it was, her right hand was reaching for the chair and so she fell headfirst on the floor, the wheelchair was knocked over by her falling body and the last thing she remembered is Eliza calling her name.

"Kara!" Eliza yelled after she saw Kara fall.

When Kara woke up hours later Lena was sleeping by her side. She was lying in her bed and there was something on her head, when her hand went to her forehead she felt a bandage wrapped around her head. And it was sore, maybe there was a bump there too, and her head… wow was it pounding or was there a marching band nearby? Kara couldn't tell, it felt so loud inside her skull that she hadn't noticed that Lena was talking to her.

Only after turning to look her in the eyes that she saw her lips were moving.

"Kara, are you hearing me? Darling, you're scaring me." Lena was almost crying, she was desperate, she had been trying to get a response from Kara for a few minutes now. Maybe she had a concussion and they should've taken her to the hospital. Eliza had examined her after the seizure had subsided and told Lena it wasn't a concussion, but maybe she should take an x-ray just to be sure.

After a few minutes, Kara felt the pounding subside a little and concentrated on Lena, now being able to understand her.

"Lee… it hurts so much….my head… couldn't even hear you talking… please give me something for the pain…" Kara managed to cook out between breaths, it felt like her head was going to explode.

Lena looked at her wife relieved for hearing her talk, but very worried for what she said… did she say she couldn't hear her talking… maybe it was the pain. Kara was squinting her eyes, a grimace on her face, her hands were shaking and a couple of tears rolled down her cheek.

Immediately Lena jumped from the bed and went straight to Kara's medicine cabinet. She got her a few pain pills and a glass of water. She came back to the bedroom and gave it to Kara who with slow movements was able to take the pills.

Lena went back to her place on the bed and cuddled Kara in her arms; she kissed her temple, saying to her everything would be fine.

Kara whimpered a little. It was hurting so much, but Lena was making it better, just the feeling of her arms embracing her made her relax, she felt safe in those arms. She knew with Lena there, everything would be fine, even if her head was still one moment from exploding.

"Shhh it's gonna be fine love, just relax okay, it's gonna stop hurting I promise. I'm here, I'm right here…" They stayed cuddled and Lena whispered sweet nothings into Kara's ear until she fell asleep once more.

Lena ran inside the hospital like a madwoman and she was one after the call she had received it had taken her all her willpower not to go over the speeding limit and end up in the same predicament as her wife. Her wife, Lena couldn't even think of Kara without crying, Alex had died, and Kara would be devastated, but she would think of that later, only after she saw her wife.

The hospital had called her, being Kara's emergency contact, she was told of Alex situation as well, having then called Eliza, who must've called Maggie. Eliza would take a while to get there Midvale was farthest than National City, but Lena made sure her jet would pick her up as soon as possible.

She got to the front desk and a young woman was talking on the phone, she waited for her to end the call, almost yelling at her, but she contained herself, she didn't need to make a scene.

"Please, I need to see my wife, she was in car accident, please her name is Kara Danvers-Luthor."

"Ma'am, calm down please, let me check here." The receptionist said in the calmest voice she had, Lena was going mad.

"I see here that she was brought in with multiple bone fractures and few other serious injuries, she was taken into surgery right away, that's where she's at the moment. You can wait on the waiting area right there and a doctor will be with you in a moment to explain everything." The woman finished talking leaving Lena distraught.

"Please I just want to know if she's okay… I need to know…" Lena was starting to panic now, they wouldn't say if Kara was okay, just that she had injuries, well that she already knew.

"Ma'am only the doctor can tell you that please have a seat and he'll be in a moment." Lena resigned herself to waiting; nothing was getting out of that woman's mouth anyway.

And Lena waited, she waited for almost two hours before anyone came to talk to her.

A young looking male doctor approached her so she stood up to talk to him.

"I'm Doctor Flores, are you Kara Danvers-Luthor wife?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, I'm Lena Danvers-Luthor, Kara's wife, how is she Doctor Flores?" Lena asked, visibly nervous.

"Well, I have to be honest with you Mrs. Danvers-Luthor, your wife is not out of the woods yet." At that Lena gasped, all her worries were confirmed, Kara was not okay, she felt it in her heart.

"But we are trying everything to stabilize her. She was brought in with several injuries, many lacerations and bruises, a broken arm and a trauma to head, and the most severe one a spinal injury on her lower back, she has actually two spinal cord injuries. . Kara has broken her spine in two different places, one was a complete injury and the other only a partial one. She has also some minor brain damage; she might have mostly some cognitive issues, which can be worked on." Lena was overwhelmed, this was too much, her Kara… this was not right, so much is broken, how will Kara come out of it.

"Ma'am you should sit down, you are shaking, do you need a moment?" The doctor was visibly concerned with her.

"No, just please tell me everything. Is there something she needs? I can have anything brought here, please don't spare any expense with her." Lena was pleading, and she would use every bit of money she had if Kara needed it.

"Thank you ma'am, but she needs to fight now, she will need a few more surgeries, we can't operate everything at once, she wouldn't take it. I'm afraid I have to say that it is possible that she won't walk again, her injuries are too severe, she may lose use of her arms as well, but that all can change, it's too early to tell for certain." Lena had understood when he talked about spinal cord injuries but her brain hadn't made the connection yet, Kara could be paralyzed.

Lena was in shock, the doctor tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't answer.

After a few minutes she snapped out of it.

"Ma'am is there someone I can call to help you through this?" Doctor Flores asked.

"Thank you, no, I mean I already called, they should be here shortly. Can I see her?" Lena was desperate to see her wife, to hold her in her arms.

"Okay, you can see her, but she is under sedative and won't be waking up. Just don't disturb her, and prepare yourself, her face is a little swollen.

"Thank you doctor." Lena said as the doctor lead her to Kara's room.

While Kara was sleeping Lena talked with Eliza, she told her about stepping down from L-Corp and from the call from the service dog agency that she had received.

"So they are sending a service dog to Kara? What did they say?" Eliza asked Lena, they were sitting at the couch in the living room.

"Yes, well Kara was on the waiting list to get one and apparently now is her turn, but the dog will have to be trained with her too. So there will be an instructor with the dog for two weeks, until the dog has been trained with Kara and after that he'll be living here." Lena said to Eliza, she hoped this good news would help take Kara out of the mood she had been for the last few weeks. She'd always wanted a dog, this was kind of perfect.

"Oh that's sounds wonderful Lena. Kara really needs something to take her mind of things. I'm happy to help here, I love my daughter, but I'm sure she will be thrilled to get a dog and to have you here with her also. Have you told her?" Eliza started hearing something, maybe Kara had woken up.

"Not yet, when she woke up earlier she was in so much pain I couldn't tell her anything, I only gave her some pain meds and she was out. I was hoping you could take a look at my research too, a doctor's eye would be helpful, I really want to finish this soon." Lena sounded worried to Eliza.

"Of course Lena, I would be happy to. I think I hear Kara waking up, do you want me to go check on her?" Eliza asked Lena as a voice from the bedroom was hear

"Leeee?!" It sounded like Kara had woken up indeed.

"Oh thank you Eliza. There is no need, I'll go see her, just a moment." Lena said as she walked out of the living room.

Today was the day, Kara never felt so happy in her life, she was going to marry Lena, and everything was going to be perfect.

She was putting on her tuxedo, a blue metallic one with a burgundy tie, those shiny black shoes, she looked perfect. Lena would love it, she was sure, Lena loved her in a suit, this was the ultimate one. She was sure Lena would look like a princess, she was so stylist everyday that Kara couldn't imagine what her wedding dress would look like.

Kara's hair was cut short so she didn't need to do much with it, the blue button down shirt showed all her muscles, just like Lena liked, she was the perfect soft butch. She wasn't sure if she should use her glasses or not.

The door to her dressing room opened and it was Alex.

"Hey Kar, just coming to say that it's going to start, are you ready?" Alex stopped when she saw her little sister. Wow, she had grown up… she was stunning.

"Wow Kar, you look handsome… just a need a little think here… ah now it's perfect." Alex said as she put a burgundy handkerchief on her jacket pocket to match her tie.

"Thanks Al, how is Lena, did you see her?" Kara was dying to see Lena.

"Yes, I did. She… I don't really have words to describe her… it's better for you to see yourself. Now let's go, or you're going to leave her waiting." So the two sisters left together.

Lena was anxious, she loved Kara so much, but this big wedding gave her anxiety. She knew Kara wouldn't leave her at the altar but her fears would always creep up on her. Sa, was with her helping put on the veil when someone knocked on the door.

"Hey it's time to go, the ceremony will start." Maggie said as her head appeared at the door.

"Wowza! Little Danvers won't know what hit her….Looking good Luthor!" Maggie said and winked as she left.

"It's time Lena…It's time to marry the love of your life." Lena almost cried, but she held the tears back, or she would need to retouch her makeup again.

Sam helped her put the veil on her head and they both left the room.

Lena walked into the room and found Kara sitting on the bed, she looked better.

"Hey darling, how are you feeling?" Lena asked as she sat beside Kara on the bed.

"Better… thank you for helping me…" Kara mumbled… Lena knew she didn't like to show weakness.

"Hey come here…" Lena said as she pulled Kara to rest her head on Lena's chest. "I know this is hard okay? But I'm your wife, your ride or die so no need to be embarrassed, you and me we are a team." Lena said as she kissed Kara's temple, the blond sobbed quietly on her arms.

"It's okay… just let it out… I know how difficult it all is, but I do have good news, isn't that great...?" Lena waited for Kara to stop crying so she could tell her about the service dog.

After a small silence Kara talked.

"What is it? The good news I mean? I'm in need of some." Lena chuckled and Kara followed.

"Well, I got a call this morning, it seems that you got approved for a service dog. He will arrive next week, you'll have to train with him for a couple of weeks, but after that he'll stay here with us." Lena expectantly said, waiting to hear Kara's answer.

A smile spread through Kara's face, it had been so long since Lena saw it, and it was gorgeous as ever, not as bright as before, but it was a first step. "Really? I'll get a dog? Ohhh that's so good, I can't believe it. Thank you Lee, I love it… I can't wait to see it." Lena squeezed her tighter reassuring her.

"Of course darling, I knew you'd like it. You always wanted one, but It was never the right time, I think now is perfect, don't you?" Kara sat up and looked Lena in the eyes.

"It is it's more than perfect… a fluff ball would really make things brighter to me, I always wanted a dog, we had a cat growing up, but never a dog." Kara said while she leaned in and kissed gently on Lena's lips.

"Hum… I missed this love, and that's why I decided to step down from L-Corp, Sam is now the CEO. And I, I'll be here with you, I'll still work on my project but from my home office, what do you think?" Lena was apprehensive with this, she didn't know if Kara would see this as a form of controlling her or too much of a overprotective wife.

Kara's mouth was opening and closing a few times…it took her a while to say something.

"I didn't think you would do that, you love your work so much. I just don't you to resent me after for having to leave it." Kara said with a small voice.

"Never love, I would never resent you, and I get to be here with you, the thing I love most, not my work, you. So you need no to worry, I want this, I want to spend time with you, and we are going to be training to have a kid remember, do you still want it?" Lena asked because she wasn't sure if Kara still thought of having kids after all that had happened.

"Yes, I want it, I want everything with you, and I want to be able to hold a little one in my arms, a little green eyed baby." Kara said as she looked into Lena's eyes, eyes full of love that looked back into her cerulean ones.

"Then it's settled, we'll have our baby, I have a few appointments before the insemination, so we are going through with it, right?" Lena asked one more time.

"Yes, of course my love. I want everything with you, I don't want to lose anything else anymore." Kara said as she made herself comfortable on her wife's arms one more time.

"So… what do you think of eating dinner that your mother prepared and then having a cuddle session to Netflix? Would you like that or is your head still hurting?"

"It's better now, there's just a faint little pain in the background…and I would love that, would you help me with chair? My arms fell like jelly today." Kara asked as she sat up on the bed and Lena went around the bed to get the wheelchair.

"That's good Kar, you had me worried, you hit your head when you fell, but your mother said you hadn't a concussion so I was a little relieved with that." Lena got the wheelchair and lifted Kara bridal style to put her on the chair.

"You don't have to explain anything Kar, I love having you in my arms." Lena bopped her nose and the two laughed.

They had a nice meal that Eliza had prepared for them, and they talked about the new dog through dinner, Kara feeling much better than she had that morning.
