SuperCorp Oneshots

A Study in Domesticity (Part 2)

"Lee, you can't go into work today," Kara stood in the doorway of their shared bedroom, glaring at her wife who was trying to pull on a tight pencil skirt but teetering precariously.

"I'm fine, Kara, stop hovering," Lena finally managed to pull her skirt up, wiping the thin layer of sweat that had accumulated on her forehead, "I have to get to L-Corp for the merger meeting."

Lena padded towards the closet on unsteady feet, scanning the shoe racks for her tallest pair of heels, needing them for intimidation purposes. She lets out a shriek of surprise when she feels arms wrap around her waist from behind.

"How are you supposed to walk around in heels when you can barely walk at all right now?" Lena turned around to glare at Kara, but before she could protest, Kara continued, "You know the doctor said that wearing heels wasn't the best idea right now. 'They-"

"-throw off my already precarious center of gravity,' yeah, I know Kara, I was there." Lena rolled her eyes and huffed an exasperated sigh, "But honestly Kara, who's going to take a CEO seriously if she shows up in a pair of orthopedic tennis shoes?"

Kara pulled her hands from Lena's back and ran them reverently over the large swell of Lena's belly, "The CEO shouldn't even be going into work today seeing as she's on maternity leave and was told to avoid added stress," Kara gave her a pointed look at the last sentence.

Lena groaned in response, "But it's boring sitting around here all day. I can't drink wine, I've eaten all the ice cream in the freezer, and I can't watch television without crying at all the commercials!"

Kara kissed Lena's forehead gently then grabbed her hand, gently pulling her towards the bed, "What if I told you that I've taken the next month off of work so that I can keep you company while you're on leave," Kara paused as she slid into the bed, "and to be here when our baby arrives?"

Lena's jaw dropped in shock, "You would do that for me?" No one had ever done anything like that for Lena, but this was Kara she was talking about.

Kara's eyes softened and she tugged on Lena's hand, pulling her into bed with her, "Lee, I would do anything for you. If you asked for the moon, I would fly all the way there to get it and bring it to you."

Lena laughed, even as tears were escaping from her eyes, "You know, that would have a terrible effect on Earth's ecosystems."

Kara rolled her eyes, but smiled as she wiped at Lena's tears, "I was trying to be romantic, but of course you have to be all scientific about it."

Lena grasped the wrist of Kara's hand as she went to pull away from her face and gently placed it on her stomach, "She's so lucky to have a mom like you."

Kara carefully pulled Lena as close to her as she could without removing her hand, "You're going to be such a great mother, Lena. We're going to be amazing parents."
