Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all the Wonder Moms!
Mother's Day Morning
Clark Kent woke up before his wife, Diana Kent did. He gave her a small kiss on her soft lips before easing out of bed. He quickly got himself ready for the day and headed to their daughter's room.
He quietly opened her door and saw that she was waking up right on time. He smiled, walking over and kneeled down to her toddler bed.
Turning over and focusing, 1 year old Astrea smiled.
"Da da!"
"Morning, Princess."
She sat up and held out her arms.
Clark smiled again proudly and picked her up. He hugged her close and tight. He sighed grateful to have his little Princess all thanks to his Queen.
"Today's Mother's Day. I have something very special planned. You'll be Daddy's little helper."
Clark quickly got Astrea ready and went downstairs to make Diana some breakfast.
He sat Astrea down in her high chair.
"Ma Ma!"
"She's still asleep. We have to be a little quiet not to wake her up just yet. So let's whip up mommy her favorite omelette, cinnamon toast, and fruit bowl."
"Fuit!"
"Yeah! Daddy will make you a bowl too."
He got everything he needed set out. As he cut up fruit, he made Astrea a mini bowl. Astrea grinned picking up a banana slice stuffing it in her mouth.
Clark chuckled a bit watching her. She was a mini Diana. Being a father is still so new to him but it feels so natural. Everything he and Diana has gone through has gotten them both to this point and he is grateful for it.
As he was still cooking, Clark heard Diana shifting in bed. He knew, she was probably feeling for him.
Diana sat up slowly and breathed in, smelling the scent of cinnamon. She smiled knowing her loving husband was making her breakfast.
She got out of bed for her morning shower, getting herself ready for this special day anticipating what he had planned.
Clark knew she didn't care for material things. It was the things he does for her and the time they spent together and with their daughter that truly mattered the most.
"Mommy's in the shower now, Astrea. Want to go get her?"
She happily started kicking ready to get out of her high chair.
Clark got her now empty bowl and cleaned her face and hands. When he let her out of her high chair, she started flying.
Diana was happily humming, thinking over her life. She remembered past Mother's days of seeing other mothers with their children wishing to have children of her own. But it seemed impossible with her duties and responsibilities as Wonder Woman.
All of that changed with having Clark in her life. From the moment they met, it was like their souls instantly linked. Her best friend and love of her life. Together they have the most sweetest most beautiful baby girl.
Getting out the showing, Diana wrapped her towel around her body. Coming out the bathroom she was met with Astrea happily calling her.
"MA MA!"
Diana gasped surprised seeing Astrea sitting on the bed by herself but then teleported into her arms. She wrapped her arms around her daughter.
"Aw! Hi, sweetheart!"
"Hi!"
Diana laughed softly kissing her all over her face.
"You've been up with Daddy? Is Daddy making breakfast?"
Astrea giggled. "Fuits!"
"Ah, Daddy made you a bowl too? Strawberries and bananas." Diana kissed the tip of her nose. "Say strawberries and bananas."
"Bebewies... nanas!"
Diana smiled, kissing all over her face again. She walked over to the bed and put her down. "Mommy has to get dressed so we can go downstairs."
She put on her midnight blue lace-trimmed chiffon midi nightgown with a v-neckline, open back with strappy and lace detail, rounded hemline with thigh-high side slits.
Diana then picked up Astrea flying downstairs.
"Good Morning, my Love!" Diana said going into the kitchen.
"Good Morning, Beautiful! You are right on time." He said placing everything on the table for her and grinned. "Happy Mother's Day!"
"Just to wake up knowing I have both of you is the greatest gift of all." Diana smiled walking over to him. "Darling, you are the sweetest. Thank you so much." She leaned up and kissed him softly.
Clark wrapped an arm around her waist deepening their kiss.
Pulling away slightly, Diana smirked. "More of that later."
"Oh that's for certain," Clark said wiggling his eyes brows making Diana laugh. "Here. Let me take Astrea and you sit and eat."
"Appoo...appoo sau."
"You want some apple sauce now, Princess? Ok, I'll get that for you."
Clark sat Astrea back down in her high chair.
Clark sat down with the bowl of apple sauce and spoon.
"So, Darling, what is it you have planned?"
"Well you know we're going to visit your mother..."
"Yes?"
"That's all I'm going to say."
"Kal!"
He laughed. "It's a surprise. Your mother will love it, too. I guarantee."
Diana raised her brow making him laugh again.
"I promise."
"Promises...promises...promises..."
"I always tend to keep."
"And that's why I love you."
"I love you, too, Di."
A few more minutes after Diana and Astrea was finished eating, Clark started to clear everything and wash the dishes.
"Come here, little one."
Diana got Astrea out of her high chair and took her into the living room to her play area.
"Bocks! Bocks! Bocks!"
"Yes, sweetheart, play with your blocks."
Diana kissed the top of her head before going back to Clark.
"As always, my Love, you spoil us," Diana said wrapping her arms around him from behind. "Darling, let me help you."
"Nope. I got it."
"Well then..." Diana started then paused kissing the side of his neck.
Clark smirked picking up a towel to dry his hands. He turned to face her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You want to tease and tempt me."
"Hmm...a little bit of both."
Clark chuckled and squeezed her rear. Diana wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a passionate kiss. Clark lifted her up onto the counter. His lips descended down her neck to her collarbone.
Diana bit her lip throwing her head back.
"Di..." he whispered.
She tilted her head back forward meeting his heated gaze. She cupped his face with both hands as their lips collided in a passionate kiss.
"Ma ma!"
They paused abruptly.
Diana giggled against his lips. "Hold that..."
Clark just stared at her with a goofy grin as she jumped down from the counter and walked away.
"What's wrong, Love?"
Astrea was yawning, rubbing her eyes.
"Sleepy again already?"
She reached up for Diana to pick her up.
"Come on, my sleepy baby," she said picking her up.
Diana then gasped feeling herself getting picked up.
"Kal! What are you doing?"
"We'll take Astrea to her room then we'll go back to ours," he said with a coy smile.
"Oh..." Diana giggled.
Clark carried them upstairs to Astrea's room. He set Diana down then Diana laid Astrea down. Covering her with her blanket and putting her favorite plushie toy at her side, she leaned down and kissed her little cheek.
Clark leaned down and kissed her cheek as well. He then smiled at Diana taking her hand for them to quietly leave her room and shut her door.
Going into their room, Diana led Clark in front of their bed then pushed him down. She took her nightgown off tossing it to the floor. She stared down at him with seductive smirk watching as his eyes took in all her naked glory.
"You know this was suppose to be for us later..." she teased.
Clark shook his head. "I can't wait that long to have you. Have to take every chance I can get."
Diana laughed crawling on top of him.
"The feeling is mutual, my Love." She reached for the hem of his shirt lifting it slowly. "I love when we make love in the mornings, noons and nights."
"And the in betweens..." Clark said taking his shirt completely off.
"Oh, yes, of course!" Diana smiled as he flipped her over.
Clark did away with his pants and leaned down caressing Diana's hair and cupped her cheek.
"I love loving you, Kal."
"I love loving you, too, Diana."
A couple of hours later...Themyscira
Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons stood waiting for her daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law.
She smiled to herself still in disbelief of how her life has turned out. She had longed to be a mother. And having Diana gave her such joy, filling an emptiness she felt within her heart. Becoming a grandmother made her heart soar higher than ever before. She was very proud of the woman Diana has become, following her heart and creating her own path. She has her own beautiful daughter and a husband who loves and respects her.
"Nany Lyta!"
She blinked out of her daze suddenly hearing a familiar sweet and precious little voice.
"Nany!"
Hippolyta smiled seeing Astrea flying towards her with Diana not too far behind.
"There's my little star!"
"Nany!" Astrea said excited, flying into her grandmother's arms.
"Hello, my little star. I've missed you," Hippolyta whispered hugging her granddaughter.
"A star!" Astrea pointed up.
"A little later, we will ride the horses and see all the stars."
Astrea giggled and hugged her again.
"Hello, Mother," Diana smiled.
"Daughter, I've missed you, too."
Hippolyta held out her arm to hug Diana. Once having her daughter and granddaughter in her arms, Hippolyta closed her eyes, taking in the moment. Her heart fluttering with joy.
"Where is Kal-El?"
"He said he had to stop by the Fortress but wanted us to go ahead. He will be here soon."
"Oh. Alright."
"You've really grown fond of Kal, Mother."
"Well...He has earned my trust, proved his worthiness. You are the happiest I've ever seen you and we have this little one here."
Diana smiled proudly and nodded. "I am truly happy, Mother. Kal has brought something out of me I never knew I had or would have. Having Astrea has changed things even more for both of us. Our perspectives of almost everything. You've been apart of this journey with us. Kal wants you to be proud just as much as I."
"I am of both of you."
Hippolyta and Diana met with the other Amazons. They all crowded around Astrea, who was sitting in Hippolyta's lap, happy to see the little princess.
"Astrea, can you say sisters?"
"Sis..."
"Sisters?"
"Sis...sissers!"
They all laughed.
"Oh Diana, she's adorable."
"Sissers! Sissers! Sissers!" Astrea clapped.
"Is this forreal?" One Amazon, Eurydice, questioned.
Ever since they were children, Eurydice was one of the few that had this unreasonable disdain for Diana.
"What do you have to say, Eurydice?" Diana questioned back.
"We are suppose to worship Clay's little mudball she made with the alien male?"
Diana stood up. "You better watch your tongue," she warned.
"Or what?"
"Eurydice! You will not disrespect my daughter nor my granddaughter."
"Excuse me, Your Highness, but even you know she's betrayed our way for man's world way."
As Hippolyta was about to say something, Diana placed her hand on her shoulder and shook her head slightly.
"I have done everything I can to teach our ways. To bring our worlds together as they should be. No longer should we live in isolation. No longer should we live with resentment, fear and distrust. Things have changed, Eurydice, for the better. Maybe you need to check yourself and come to an understanding of that!"
"You don't have the right to tell me what I need to do."
As Diana and Eurydice stared each other down, the other Amazons remained silent. Astrea looked up at her mother, sensing her anger. Mimicking Diana's expression, her eyes started sparking and turning lightening blue. She turned to look at Eurydice.
"Eury...Eurydice...stop. Let's leave. That child has unspeakable abilities," another Amazon warned.
"Challenged by a child? Ha!"
"Eury, don't provoke them."
"Pft...I'm not wasting anymore of my time."
Eurydice stormed out of the temple with a couple of Amazons following her.
Still silence.
"I will deal with them later," Hippolyta said.
Diana put her head down holding back her tears. She wasn't sad because what Eurydice said about her but what she said about Astrea. She will not have her daughter feel betrayed or outcasted by her sisters the way she did.
"Ma...ma..." Astrea said with the saddest expression.
"Oh, my baby..." Diana picked her up and held her close, kissing her forehead. "It's okay...Mommy's okay..."
After a few moments, the temple doors opened.
They all looked up to see Kal flying in.
As the doors closed, he bowed to the Amazons however, he could feel the heavy tension.
"Hi Da Da!"
He smiled and flew over to Diana, Astrea and Hippolyta.
"Hey, Princess," he said kissing her forehead.
He looked at Diana to see her eyes a little red.
"Diana..." he kissed her softly and embraced her. "What's wrong?" He whispered in her ear.
"I'll tell you later."
Kal nodded slightly pulling away.
"I'm sorry, I'm late..." he paused for a moment and glanced at the Amazons still crowded around. "I wanted to make sure this was perfect for you, Your Highness."
"Perfect...? For me?" Hippolyta asked.
Kal smiled and took her hand for her to stand. "I wanted to bring a special gift for you. Thank you for trusting, accepting and welcoming me. Thank you for being supportive of Diana and me." He handed her a small box. "I didn't ask Diana anything and she didn't even know I was doing this. It took some time to really think of the perfect gift. I wanted it to not only be a surprise for her too but I wanted to know that with everything we have went through as a family, I've gotten to really know my mother-in-law on my own. I wanted to show just how much I care."
Hippolyta stared at him stunned. This young man was pouring his heart out to her. She can see in his eyes the sincerity, respect, love and honesty.
She looked down at the box and gasped as she opened it.
Crafted in silver, gold, clear crystals and with a single blue crystal eye was an eagle brooch. Attached to the eagle's claws was a pearl. She gasped again as the pearl started changing.
"It is of another world. Your home world, Kal-El? Krypton?"
He smiled proudly and nodded. "Happy Mother's Day!"
"Darling, it's beautiful!" Diana said.
"Magnificent..." Hippolyta felt tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you, my son." She happily embraced him.
Later...
Kal and Diana slowly walked along the shore as Hippolyta was ahead of them on her horse with Astrea.
"You see, little star, the night sky is full of stars."
"Ah, star winkoo, Nany!"
"The stars are twinkling and are very bright. But you are the brightest of all!"
Hippolyta started humming "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" as they continued their stroll.
Diana sighed lovingly titling her head on Kal's shoulder.
"This feels amazing. And what you did earlier...Darling, you are always full of surprises!"
"I meant everything I said, Di. Your mother has been our biggest supporter." He thought back a moment. "But what about earlier? What happened?"
"Oh..." she sighed. "You know there are still some of my sisters who have never liked nor respected me. Every time I'm home, one of them has to remind me of that. She talked about you and Astrea. I was not having that."
"I don't want you fighting, Diana."
"It was just a verbal back and forth. She and the others left right before you came in."
"Oh, so that's who I saw leaving." He sighed.
"Astrea, though, is already showing her warrior spirit being protective of me."
Kal chuckled. "That's our Princess." He then leaned over and kissed her temple. "Don't worry, Di. They don't want to understand and see the truth about what you've been through and have done. That's on them. You've accomplished so much. I'm proud of you and we have an abundance of love and support. It still won't be easy but we've always made it through for better every step we've taken and will take."
Diana looked up at him and smiled. "You are the greatest, Kal. I love you so much." She leaned over to kiss him.
"I love you too, Di."
It was time for Kal and Diana to get back home. Astrea was still wide awake.
"It's way passed your bedtime," Diana said kissing the top of her nose.
Astrea giggled.
"We will be back soon, Mother," Diana assured hugging her.
"I will be going with Hessia on her trip to Beijing. I will let you know when I'm back." She kissed the top of Astrea's head. "Be good, little star."
"Have fun on your trip, Your Highness," Kal said.
Hippolyta hugged him tightly. "Thank you again for this lovely gift, Kal-El. I will wear this proudly everyday."
"There's one more thing. Just look into the eye for only you to see."
Hippolyta nodded.
As Kal, Diana, and Astrea went through the portal, Hippolyta waved. Astrea waved back excitedly.
"Say bye to grandma Lyta."
"Bye, Nany Lyta! Bye!"
Her heart fluttered and she can feel tears welling up in her eyes again.
When the portal closed and disappeared, Hippolyta headed to her chambers. She decided to take a long way, still mentally and emotionally reflecting on her life.
"Queen Hippolyta..." the guards said bowing and open her doors.
She slightly nodded and entered her room. Once her doors were closed, she sighed and walked to her dresser. She was hesitant not wanting to take her brooch off.
"Look into the eye for only you to see..." repeated in her mind.
She slowly took it off and looked at the eagle's blue crystal eye. Suddenly, the eye started to glow and a hologram appeared:
Queen Hippolyta
"Oh my!" she jumped slightly
Then a holographic note from Kal appeared:
This holds all archives of Krypton. Everything you could possible want and need to know. There is still so much I need to know an learn as well as teach Astrea and of course Diana will know everything too. I felt that it was only right that we all are learning and growing more together as the family we have become. I don't think I can ever thank you enough but I will continue to honor the promise I made. I will always love and protect Diana and our little girl, your granddaughter, will know that she is surrounded by nothing but love. It is an honor and I am grateful to be accepted as your son-in-law.
I want you to know, I love you, Ma.
Tears ran down Hippolyta's face uncontrollably as a family portrait of them all appeared. She held the brooch close to her chest. This is the happiness she prayed to the Gods so long for. There was nothing else that she could ever ask for.
"I love you, too, my son. I love you all, so much..."
Author's Note: "The Blessing" isn't done, however I have decided to do more family fluff one-shots outside of that story. For any suggestions/requests of ideas, feel free to PM ;)
