The rumors were true. The terrible twos were, in fact, terrible. What could make them even more challenging? If the child was half human and half Kryptonian. This is where Kara and Lena Luthor-Danvers found themselves, with their two-year old daughter Alexis, or fondly known as Lexi. They couldn’t have predicted the chaotic mess their year would become, on both the superhero and parent scales.

Thanks to her own mother, Lillian, Lena had learned what makes a good or bad mother. During the week, Lena would make breakfast for her wife and daughter in the mornings, and she’d always get home in time to be with Lexi when she awoke from her nap. Sometimes she’d have to bring work home, but Kara made sure to step in and take over bath and story time duties so Lena could finish her work.

Kara had worked out a plan with Snapper to allow her to work half weeks since she could easily continue to be successful at her job in the comforts of her own home. He wasn’t easily persuaded until Kara had called in a favor from Auntie Cat, who surprisingly adores Lexi enough to buy her high-fashioned onesies. Once Snapper was put into his place, Kara was able to move her work laptop and belongings into the home office Lena and her shared at home. She found the couch to be a comfortable desk since it was closer to the kitchen.

Supergirl duty had slowed down thanks to the new implements Alex demanded be put into place during Kara and Lena’s maternity leave. She had established a new strike team for specific Supergirl duties during different times of the day. If anything went wrong, J’onn would step in and provide a stronger helping hand. Winn had become eyes in the sky with the help of Lena’s smart drones to patrol the city and ping him with any signs of trouble.

Parenting was as normal as Kara and Lena could have imagined. Lexi was an easy child. She woke up every morning at the exact same time to be fed. She had no major outbursts, except for when she was hungry. That’s when the tears would start flowing. Lexi had her mom to thank for her bottomless stomach.

Everything was running smoothly. They had no complaints, that was, until Lexi turned two years old and began showing signs of her Kryptonian powers. It was a rude awakening when Lena walked into Lexi’s room to find her sleep floating. When Lexi was awake her powers were much more noticeable and harder to control. Unlike Kara who had arrived on Earth at thirteen and was familiar with how to learn to control her powers. She wanted to be like Mom and rip her glasses off and pull at her shirt, thankfully not ripping it entirely. After Kara had failed to tape glasses to their daughter’s head, Lena decided to reach out to the Kent’s for guidance. Unfortunately for Lena and Kara, the Kent’s weren’t much help since most of Clark’s powers had come in during puberty.

Back to square one, Lena had taken blueprints from the yellow sun lamps and tried to replicate them into a smaller version for Lexi. Recreating Krypton’s red sun energy, Lena was able to synthesize it into a bracelet that Lexi could wear to safely dampen her powers. She had tested it on Kara, knowing she would give her an honest answer unlike Lexi who wanted to play with her momma’s lab tools.

The bracelet worked well enough to make Lexi seem like a normal human child. However, the only side effect was that she was more prone to getting sick than other children. Lena had narrowed it down to her weak immune system since the first year of her life she had been under the yellow sun. The symptoms weren’t brought to their attention until the worst possible moment. (Well, for something like this there was never really a good moment.)

Lexi had started off with a high fever and a slight cough that eventually mimicked the sound of a cat coughing up a hair ball. As her fever began to break, Lexi started to come down with the stomach bug. Thanks to Kara’s super speed, she was able to catch all surprise baby vomit.

They had wondered if taking off the bracelet would help Lexi recover but after much deliberation it was determined that it would help strengthen Lexi’s immune system. The bracelet was meant to control her powers until she was old enough to learn. It certainly relieved Lena of the frequent panics she experienced while watching her wife retrieve their daughter from her unplanned trips to the ceiling.

Bracelet idea out of the equation, Lena and Kara were left with having to walk through the battle of, as Maggie had proudly named, the baby solar flare. Two weeks in and Lexi wasn’t showing any signs of recovery. Instead, it was new symptom after new symptom. It was exhausting for the two moms, and it took over their intimate lives as well. The few hours they had while Lexi was finally asleep were spent napping themselves. The other hours were occupied by laundry, vomit clean up, cooking, and whatever they could get done in the office.

There was a point where Lexi was showing some hope in getting better, that was, until she had vomited in Kara’s hair. By the time she had calmed her daughter down and passed her off to Lena, the vomit had dried to a crusty orange paste.

Instead of attempting to wash the vomit out of her hair, Kara had decided to cut it off. She had been planning on getting a haircut, but never found the time. Seeing the amount of hair she had to snip off gave her the nudge she needed to try a new hairstyle.

The hair style was short around the edges with some length left on top. She raked her hands through her newly cut hair, feeling the short strands between her fingers. As Kara looked at herself in the mirror, she wondered why she hadn’t done this sooner. Between raising a toddler and Supergirl duties, the short hair would be much more convenient.

The new look showed off her neck and chiseled chin. She traced her fingers along her jaw line and up to weave them back through her hair. Dare she say she looked hot? There was only one way to find out.

Kara bit down on her lip imagining Lena’s reaction to her sudden change of hairstyle. There was a bit of fear knowing the young Luthor loved the blonde locks. Any chance she got she would be running her fingers through the soft Kryptonian hair.

While Lena was upstairs in Lexi’s room reading her a bedtime story, her phone buzzed. Alex’s name flashed on the small bright screen.

“Alex? Everything okay?” Kara asked in a hushed tone, aware of Lena trying to put Lexi to sleep.

“I know you are knee deep in baby solar flare. But Supergirl is needed for an... alien emergency.” Alex stuttered

Kara had caught her sisters awkward slip up but chose to ignore it knowing she had to get back to taking care of her daughter. “Why can’t J’onn take care of it?”

“J’onn has been on call for the past three weeks covering for you.” Kara winced at Alex’s tone of voice. She had to admit J’onn had saved her super ass multiple times since becoming a mom. “He’s currently off duty. I just need you to stop a bank robbery across the city by the bay.” A small cry was heard upstairs as well as a low and soothing shush from Lena. As if Alex could sense her sisters fear of leaving her wife alone with a sick child, she tried to give her some reassurance. “It will be quick, I swear. Lena will barely know you’re gone.”

Kara floated up to peep through Lexi’s bedroom door and saw Lena bouncing Lexi up and down as she paced by her crib. Lena was still in her work clothes that day, needing to pop by L-Corp to meet with a potential investor.

The silence from Kara’s end caused Alex to push. “It’s just one bank robbery.”

Alex was right, bank robberies were easy for Supergirl. Knowing it was an alien robber did prove in the past to be difficult but not anything Kara couldn’t handle. “Just the one?”

“Promise!”

“Fine,” Kara sighed. “I’ll be there soon.”

Before Alex could sing her praises, Kara had hung up the phone. She stuck her head into Lexi’s bedroom. Just as Kara was about announce her departure, Lena whispered “Go.” Kara began to sputter but was again stopped by Lena. “I heard. I know you’ll be back soon.”

Kara shuffled behind Lena and placed a loving kiss on her cheek. A sense of warmth filled Kara’s heart as she captured the image of Lena holding Lexi. The moment was broken by Lena’s slacked jaw as she made eye contact with Kara’s hair.

Panicked, Kara backed away slowly. “I’ll explain later.”

Before Lena could argue for her to stay put, Kara had sped out and down to the balcony, changing into her super suit mid-flight. That was definitely not how she expected Lena to react.

Kara dropped down to the bank entrance, slyly crossing her arms and tapping her foot as she waited for the thieves to stumble out. She had to admit, while she loved her family with all her heart, she did miss her alter ego. It was satisfying to see criminals freeze in fear when they saw her suit, a nice break from Lexi making grabby hands at her cape.

Although Kara did find it heartwarming that Lexi wasn’t scared of the girl of steel.

Two bank robbers sprinted out of the building with two duffle bags in each hand. One of the criminals stopped right in their tracks as they made eye contact with her, while the other criminal ended up running right into her face first. Like running into a steal pole, the robber dropped both duffle bags and fell back unconscious.

Kara watched the cartoon act unfold in front of her. With one criminal out of commission, she turned to the other one and waited.

As slowly as humanly possible, scared to make any sudden movements, the robber released his grip on the duffle bags and raised his hands over his head. Kara motioned for him to get on his knees which he easily agreed to, not wanting to be knocked out like his counterpart.

Alex and a few other DEO agents made their way out of the building, slowing their approach at the scene before them. Not surprised by her sister’s work, Alex found her attention drawn to Kara’s head.

Kara’s bravado faltered as her sister approached.

“You’re late,” Alex said.

Not expecting that reaction, Kara replied, “I’m sorry, I was busy being a mother.”

Alex rolled her eyes at her sisters’ obvious comeback. “How is the little monster? Is she feeling any better?”

“She’s a fighter,” Kara shrugged.

“Like her mom,” Alex nudged Kara’s side. “And I didn’t mean you.”

Kara scoffed. Before she could argue back, Winn’s voice came into her earpiece. “Incoming call for Supergirl.” His voice high pitched like that of a receptionist.

Kara wasn’t affected by Winn’s comedic delivery. She was more concerned with who was on the other line. Probably a very angry wife who she had ditched with their very sick daughter.

Alex chuckled at her sister’s hesitation, earning her a nasty glare.

Kara heard the speaker cut in and out, indicating Winn had patched the call through. With a deep breath to calm her nerves, she prepared for the wrath of Lena Luthor-Danvers. “Hey Lee,” Kara drawled out, hoping her quirky side could calm her wife. She was met with complete silence. Another beat and Kara worried Lena had hung up.

That was, until Lena spoke two words that made Kara’s heart stop.

“Code Green.”

Kara’s face turned stark white.

Lena didn’t have to repeat it. Kara heard those two little words loud and clear, instantly taking off into the sky and leaving Alex and the DEO agents to stumble in the wake of her exit.

Kara made it back to the penthouse in record time. Her boots glided on the hardwood ground, before halting in front of her wife who was sitting on top of the kitchen counter, baby monitor hanging off her finger.

“H..how?” Kara managed to squeak out.

Lena raised her perfectly manicured eyebrow as if it was cursing Kara for questioning her motherly talents. “Cough medicine and Green Eggs and Ham.”

Kara shook her head. That wasn’t the answer she was looking for. “No,” Kara breathed seductively as she stepped closer to her wife. “I meant, how long?”

Lena’s lip curled up, matching her eyebrow. “I did say code green, didn’t I?”

It was extremely rare for either of them to call a code green. During the first few months of Lexi’s life the new moms couldn’t find time to themselves, at least not intimately. Getting Lexi to go to sleep at bedtime was a rare occurrence, leaving Kara and Lena with little time to be with each other intimately and causing immense sexual frustration for them both. So, they’d established “Code Green” as a way to inform each other of the rare opportunities they could be together. Due to the scarcity of these moments, when a Code Green was called, they’d drop everything and race back home to each other, sometimes literally. Once, when Kara had made the call, Lena had been in her lab working with some highly dangerous chemicals that she all but abandoned in her rush to get home.

Code green wasn’t just any free moment. It was when Lexi was deeply asleep, from sunset to sunrise out cold. It wasn’t worth using the code word if they couldn’t get a few hours to themselves. And if the size of Lena’s pupils weren’t a clear giveaway, they for sure had the entire night with no interruptions.

Kara felt Lena’s hand lower to her belt, hooking her fingers under the gold material and pulling her between her legs. She rested her hands on Lena’s thighs as Lena’s hands came up to her neck, tracing her fingers around her ear and hairline, and causing shivers to run down Kara’s spine. Long elegant fingers maneuvered their way through the short blonde locks. She played with the strands at the top of Kara’s head, familiarizing themselves with the new length.

Heat pulled deep inside Kara as she watched Lena take her bottom lip between her teeth. “You cut your hair,” she said not as a question but as a statement.

“Do you like it?” Kara’s grip tightened around Lena’s thighs sliding her closer to the edge of the countertop.

The fingers in Kara’s hair began to scratch her scalp causing a low growl deep in Kara’s throat. The sound caused Lena to desperately pull herself close to the blonde. Their foreheads connected, both basking in the quiet moment between the two.

With one last glance at the blonde’s new appearance, Lena smiled to herself and brushed her nose against Kara’s. Her next word was barely a whisper, low enough to be a growl but Kara heard it. She didn’t need super hearing to hear the desire, the want in her wife’s voice.

Yes

Their lips collided in a desperate kiss. Even after years of friendship and dating, neither of them could let go of the high they felt when kissing one another. It felt like the first time all over again. But this one, this kiss felt even more special. Their lips moved in sync as Kara’s hands roamed all over Lena’s body, focusing her touch at her most sensitive areas. Lena’s hands stayed in their place in Kara’s hair - they had an agenda of their own.

A small whimper escaped Kara’s lips as Lena pulled at the short blonde hair with a smirk. “I still got it,” Lena teased. Another shiver ghosted its way up Kara’s spine, feeling the delicate touches of her wife’s fingers leaving her hair and moving down to the back of her neck.

Kara’s tongue brushed against Lena’s, earning her a sinful moan as hands grasped her ass, adding a squeeze for fun. Lena’s legs wrapped around Kara’s waist, pulling her desperately close.

The warm sensation deep in the raven-haired woman’s core was spreading through her like a wildfire. Kara and her cocky top energy never hesitated to toy with her wife, she knew exactly how to rial the Luthor up.

“Speak up, sweetheart,” Kara chuckled after Lena had used one of her moves of digging her heels just below Kara’s ass.

Lena growled low in disapproval for her Kryptonian’s antics. She was ready to argue back when Kara’s lips latched onto her neck but not with an added revenge of tortuously avoiding her weakest point of her freckle.

Kara continued to ravage Lena’s neck with bites, sucks, and soothing licks, up to her ear and back down, again and again. It drove Lena crazy how the super’s mouth was growing more and more powerful with every whimper.

As Kara’s lips graced Lena’s freckle her hold grew tighter around her thighs. Another high-pitched gasp made its way into the silent kitchen as Lena felt her insides turn to mush. She could feel her underwear sticking to her slick center. She was falling further and further into pure ecstasy. If only her wife could stop with the goddamn teasing!

It was time to turn the tables. Lena cleverly lowered her chin right beside Kara’s cheek, then proceeded to brush her lips across her ear, sending another shiver down Kara’s spine. It turned Lena on to no end knowing she was the only one to cause this reaction.

She couldn’t help but smirk knowing her next words would get the super to move a little faster. “Code pink.” Lena’s warm breath ghosted down Kara’s neck.

For the second time that night, Kara froze. Her head shot up from Lena’s neck and met the dark smirk in front of her. Lena could see the hunger in Kara’s eyes grow knowing the words she spoke had not been used since Lexi was born.

“Bedroom,” Lena commanded tightening her hold around her wife.

Lifting her wife into her strong arms, Kara sped the both of them down the hall and into their bedroom, stopping at the foot of their bed. She gently set Lena down before speeding into their closet and back, out of her super suit and back in her daily clothes. Lena’s eyes landed on the new object in Kara’s hand, a bright pink dildo hooked into a black harness.

Code pink.

But Lena wasn’t going to give Kara what she wanted so easily, she was a Luthor after all. With a curled finger, she beckoned Kara closer. Kara followed her command like a good girl while stripping off her shirt at the same time.

Their lips collided again in a messy kiss. Kara was getting hungrier by the second, dragging her fingers up and down Lena’s sides. Her hunger slightly hindered by frustration at the amount of clothes still on her wife.

As if she could sense Kara’s inner frustration, she ridded herself of her jacket and button up, presenting Kara with a lacey black bra pushing up her plump breasts. Kara’s baby blues glazed over, mesmerized at the view below her. Lena knows she’s a boob girl. Kara doesn’t agree and says that she’s a Lena girl.

Fingers edged their way behind Lena unclasping her bra and releasing Kara’s treasure. Lips latched onto a dusky nipple, feverishly nipping and sucking. Lena gasped at Kara’s wet lips, causing more wetness to seep between her legs.

Lena let out a small cry of pleasure when teeth lightly nibbled on her nipple, her hands flying to grasp at blonde hair. Kara switched her attention to Lena’s other nipple giving the same amount of love as she did the other. Back arching as Kara sucked, Lena’s hips began to buck in desperation.

Hands gripped Lena’s hips, holding them steady. Kara’s mouth released Lena’s nipple, then proceeded to trail kisses down over porcelain skin. Her hands moved to Lena’s belt unclasping the metal and lowering the zipper. Lips continued to trail down to Lena’s hipbone as Kara happily threw the tailored pants over her shoulder.

This was Kara’s favorite part, lifting herself up to gaze down at her wife. The moonlight shined through their bedroom window causing Lena’s skin to appear as if it was glowing. Her raven hair sprawled out over her head. Kara’s eyes traced up and down Lena’s body, taking in every single curve, freckle, scar, and hair. Even though she had it all memorized, it never failed to stop her heart at how beautiful Lena was when this open.

After a moment, Lena’s arms wrapped themselves around her body, self-conscious of being so exposed. Though Lena had lost most of her baby weight, she still had not gotten used to the stretch marks and loose skin caused by her pregnancy.

Kara was quick to grab her wrists and pull them back to her side. “No, don’t you dare do that,” Kara husked in a loving tone. Her eyes dipped down again. “Rao, Lena you are beautiful.” One hand cupped Lena’s cheek, gently lifting Lena’s face to meet her eyes. Kara’s free hand trailed down Lena’s body, her palm grazing over her stomach where she was most insecure. Kara leaned down and lovingly kissed her wife. “Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.” Her hand left Lena’s cheek as it met the other down at Lena’s black panties. “I’ll prove it.”

Lena gasped hearing the thin fabric rip. Kara slithered down Lena’s body, pushing the raven-haired woman’s legs open. A low moan echoed in the bedroom as Kara came face to face with wet heat, the smell making her mouth water.

She didn’t waste any time as she dipped her tongue between wet folds. Two moans were heard, one high pitched cry of pleasure and the other pure hunger. Kara’s tongue danced through drenched lips, swirling around the erect nub. Circles turned into desperate lapping as Kara lost control at the taste of her wife. Wanting to taste more, her tongue dipped down and lost itself inside Lena earning her a loud moan and a hand to her head pulling at the longer locks.

Lena’s hips bucked begging for more friction from the slow burn of Kara’s tongue. She needed more, Kara could hear it through her whimpers and the fact that the grip on her hair was getting tighter.

“Kara...” Lena breathed. “Pl-Please.”

Her wife’s wish was her command. Kara hooked one of Lena’s legs over her shoulder to give herself a better angle for her next attack. Still with her tongue hungerly attached to Lena’s heat, Kara teased her entrance with two fingers, barely breaking the barrier.

Lena was struggling to keep any last bit of self-control feeling her walls tighten at nothing. Her free hand grasped the bed sheet concentrating on not slamming her hips up into Kara’s face. She knew she couldn’t hurt Kara, but she was a woman with needs and her wife was making it hard find her release.

Kara had but one goal and that was to make this last, even if it meant teasing Lena to no end. But, hearing her whimpers and desperate attempts to control her body, Kara gave in.

Kara plunged two fingers knuckle deep into Lena and simultaneously circling her lips around Lena’s clit and sucking. Lena’s back left the bed as she violently bit her lip not to scream at the top of her lungs at the amount of pleasure her body was feeling.

It was hard for Kara not to smirk at seeing her wife’s reaction to her power play. Her fingers picked up their pace, curling and rubbing right in the place Lena needed most. Lena’s hand pulled at Kara’s hair causing a low moan to vibrate through Kara’s lips onto Lena’s clit.

Kara could feel Lena’s walls tighten around her fingers at the same time as Lena’s hips began to buck at an uncontrollable pace. Her breath grew rapid and while she couldn’t see her, Kara knew Lena was clenching her teeth to hold back from screaming to avoid waking up Lexi.

“Come for me, my love,” Kara huskily encouraged.

Those words sent Lena’s body spiraling out of control. Her body contracted every muscle in her body finally feeling the long release into pure ecstasy. Kara continued to pump slowly into Lena, guiding her through the aftershocks of her orgasm. As Lena’s body relaxed back down onto the bed, Kara pulled out her fingers and lapped up the last of Lena’s juices.

Lena pulled her wife up by her hair. Kara fully expected to be in trouble for the amount of teasing she put her through but instead, she was met with a seductive smirk which caused the pool of wetness to grow between her legs.

“Code pink,” Lena’s eyes drifted down to the edge of the bed and landed on the pink dildo.

Kara’s face lit up, eager to finally use her favorite strap again. She jumped off of Lena and effortlessly fastened the strap into place. In true Supergirl fashion, proud that she had not lost her touch, Kara stood with her hands on her hips, chest puffed out, and pink dildo smugly stretching from her pelvis.

“Proud of yourself?” Lena teased.

“Very,” Kara said unaffected by the young Luthor’s words.

Kara pounced back onto the bed, straddling Lena’s thighs and peppering kisses all over Lena’s face until she got tired of her laughing, which was never. Her final kiss landed on her lips and quickly deepened. Their tongues danced together in perfect harmony, each humming when one would suck the other.

The pink dildo grinded down into Lena’s folds, coating itself in her juices. Lena released a strong whimper as she felt Kara pull her hips back, maneuvering the strap to tease her entrance.

Kara smirked down at her wife’s restlessness. “Sweetheart, you need to use your words.”

Lena secretly loved it when Kara would tease her, but that was before they had Lexi. That was when she couldn’t care less about how long they were tangled in their bedsheets or experimenting with different toys, including her own inventions. But there was a reason why they created codes and those codes did not leave any room for teasing, nor could Lena keep herself composed enough after months without sex.

“Kara, if you don’t fuck me right here right now, I’m going to go take care of myself in the shower.” Kara’s eyebrow raised curiously at the idea of watching her wife. “Alone,” Lena added sharply.

Kara gulped before dropping her hips down and giving Lena what she so desperately needed. Lena felt the dildo slide in slowly, feeling only a slight discomfort as her walls adjusted to its size. It had been a while since they had used that specific toy, and the stretch felt so familiar to her yet so foreign.

A silent gasp arched its way out of Lena as Kara slowly pulled out and, in the same painfully slow pace, pushed back in. She continued to slowly pump into Lena, focused on making the time last. At this point, Lena couldn’t take anymore teasing. Her hips bucked up pressing the strap firmly against Kara’s center. A strangled groan rolled out of Kara, but she continued the slow agonizing pace she was desperately trying to control.

Long slender fingers pulled Kara’s face to look down and meet emerald green eyes. “Darling, I know you want to make this last but now is not the time.” Kara was ready to protest but a finger to her lips stopped her. “We are moms now.”

She didn’t need to say anything else, Kara understood. While one side of Kara wanted to see how long she could draw out her wife’s orgasm, the desperate side of her took over searching for her own release.

Strong hips pumped hard, driving the strap firmly into Lena. Kara’s lips collided with Lena’s, muffling her loud moans. It wasn’t long till both women were at their highest peak, green and blue eyes growing darker with every thrust. Lena’s walls tightened around the sopping wet dildo, causing her to pant into Kara’s neck. The friction against Kara’s clit and the sound of her wife nearing her release enticed her to move faster, wanting them to cum together.

After years of exploring one another, Kara had mastered her strength when having sex with Lena, at least that’s what she thought. There were times she could feel herself losing control, but Lena had learned her own trick to calm the Kryptonian down.

Lena delicately dragged her nails up Kara’s spine, along her shoulder blades and up into her now short blonde locks. Her fingers stopped at the top of Kara’s head gripping at the longer hairs, tight enough to make a human scream in pain. The strong pull only edged Kara on.

It was Lena’s way of telling Kara to let go.

Old tricks never failed seeing that both Kara and Lena slammed their lips together moaning their release in one final thrust. Lena’s body trembled through aftershocks, muscles twitching as Kara slowed her rhythm to guide them both down from their high.

Lena’s grip loosened around Kara’s hair, feeling her body relax into the bed. Kara took the time to trail light kisses down Lena’s body as she peeled herself off her wife and away from the bed, pulling off the strap.

Once out of the harness, Kara took her place next to Lena who was still calming down from her high.

Kara touched her lips to Lena’s shoulder before burying her face into her neck. “I love you.”

The words seemed to wake Lena up and out of her daze, rolling over to face the blonde. “I love you more,” Lena added with a smirk.

“Welcome back,” Kara teased.

Lena playfully slapped her shoulder. “Stop it, you know it takes me awhile to return back to my body. Take it as a compliment.”

“Who said I didn’t?” Kara smirked, knowing fully well the effect she had on her wife.

As Kara leaned down to capture Lena’s lips, a high-pitched cry came from the ground. At some point they had knocked the baby monitor to the floor. Both moms groaned, knowing code green time was over and it was back to parenting.

“Her timing is impeccable,” Lena sighed into her pillow.

“She gets that from you.” Kara got off the bed to retrieve a clean shirt and a pair of joggers from their closet. “I got the little devil child.”

Lena lifted her head from the pillow and glared at her wife. “I would argue with you but after the past couple of weeks I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the spawn of Satan.”

Choosing to forget that they had just agreed in assuming their beautiful daughter could be from the deep depths of hell, Kara made her way to Lexi’s room.

By the time she reached Lexi’s bedroom door, her crying had subsided to tiny whimpers and ragged breaths. Seeing her mom enter the room, Lexi’s tears stopped, and a wide smile grew on her face. She made grabby hands up at Kara wanting to be lifted into her arms.

Kara bounced Lexi in her arms and hugged her tight. “Hello, little one. You’ve got a set of lungs you know that?” Lexi giggled as her Mom made funny faces at her. It was Kara’s way of getting Lexi to agree on what she had said. Lena didn’t like it when she used it against her. “How are you feeling?”

Instead of a verbal answer, Lexi just smiled at Kara as her eyes took in her Mom’s haircut. Kara had almost forgotten about it, it felt natural enough by now. She’s surprised she wasn’t reminded of it while in bed with Lena just now. Usually, she was constantly blowing her hair out of her face when sleeping with her wife; a new plus.

Lexi reached up and twirled her fingers through her mom’s hair. More giggles erupted from the little blonde girl as she continued to play with Kara’s hair.

Kara giggled along with her. “Do you like mommy’s new haircut?”

“Yes,” Lexi nodded her head. She was a girl of very few words.

“I second that,” a voice was heard behind them.

Kara turned the both of them around and found Lena leaning against the door frame, watching the interaction. Her animated face reserved only for her daughter and no one else took shape as she moved closer to her girls.

Lena mimicked her daughter and put her hand in Kara’s hair. “While I do love the new look, you may want to get this cleaned up.” Her finger pulled at uneven hair.

The hair cut wasn’t too bad, Kara’s steady hands were able to make it look decent enough, but there were spots that needed to be evened out.

“Awe,” Kara sighed. “Does that mean I can’t pursue my lifelong dream of being a hairstylist?” Her bottom lip curled down, making Lexi giggle again.

Lena placed a kiss against Kara’s cheek. “I still love it.”

“And I love you,” Kara cheekily smiled at Lena, dipping down to kiss her properly.

Lexi pushed both her moms away, “Eeeewww... no momma!”

Lena scoffed, “Well aren’t you a little love hater.” She reached out to tickle Lexi causing louder giggles to echo through the room.

“How about momma reads you a story and then we try to go back to bed?” Kara asked knowing very well Lena had a secret power when it came to getting their daughter to fall asleep. Both Kara and Lexi found Lena’s voice to be very soothing when she read aloud.

“Yes pwease!” Lexi excitedly clapped her hands and reached for her momma.

Lena took Lexi as Kara went to the bookshelf and selfishly picked the longest picture book she could find. No protests were made, Lena had to admit she liked it when Kara would sit with her and Lexi before bed; it made her feel closer to her little family. There was also the added bonus of watching her two favorite girls fall asleep on her.

Moving to the corner of her room where a large cushy couch sat, Lexi plopped herself onto Lena’s lap. Kara took her place next to Lena, getting comfortable and resting her head on her shoulder.

Once both girls were comfortable against Lena, she began to read.

She wasn’t even a quarter of the way through the story when she heard light snores coming from her lap and shoulder, but she didn’t care to stop reading.

Code green had nothing on this moment.
