Chapter 116

Kara and Lena are nervous balls of energy during dinner, and frankly Alex thinks it's a miracle that their parents didn't call them out on it. It's a relief when dinner is over because that means they're going to bed and that the throne room will be open for their discussion.

They say goodnight and hug the girls before retiring to their room for the night. They wait for another couple minutes that Alex is certain feels like an eternity for Lena and Kara before heading to the throne room, which is thankfully empty.

Lena and Kara keep walking towards the thrones even as Maggie and Alex stay by the main doors.

"Do you think this will work?" Maggie asks softly, watching as they walk with stiff postures, looking away from each other until they have to look at each other in order to talk.

"It has to."

Maggie hums and leans against Alex's side, resting her head on her shoulder as they watch Lena and Kara's relationship try to get over the proverbial bump in the road. Lena and Kara move close, speaking softly as though speaking any louder would make this more real, the possibility of them ending. Even if that possibility is slim.

Maggie and Alex watch as they speak, Kara and Lena's bodies getting less tense as time goes on. If she didn't think it would jar them, Alex would start applauding when she sees them hug. She grins and pulls Maggie closer to her.

"So we're going to do this? You're okay with this?" Kara asks, searching Lena's eyes while keeping her close.

"Yes, I'm fine with it. Anything that keeps me with you, darling." Lena presses a soft kiss to Kara's cheek, causing her to flush a pretty pink. Lena smiles warmly at her girlfriend. "I would like to make sure my people are okay with the merge. I don't want to do this without their support."

Kara nods. "I feel the same way. Plus, this won't be a problem until I'm Queen, so we have time."

"Not a lot of time. I have a feeling that your mother is just waiting for us to get engaged to announce that she will be stepping down." Lena chuckles softly.

"En-engaged?"

"Mm," Lena hums. She meets Kara's eyes, her own warm and loving. "I love you, Kara Danvers. I would like to marry you someday."

"Is, uh, is that a proposal?" Kara asks, her eyes wide but happiness dances in them.

"Not yet, darling. Once we get more settled. I promise that when I propose, you'll know."

"When, huh? You seem pretty confident." Kara says with a grin.

"I am. I'm the Queen of the Luthor Kingdom, I'm quite the catch." Lena winks at Kara, who beams and laughs.

"I can't disagree with you there." Kara pecks Lena's lips. Her eyes flicker between Lena's eyes. "So we're good?"

"We're amazing."

"I know that." Kara's face grows serious. "But we are okay, right? The past couple days have been rough for us."

"We're okay, love." Lena says seriously, her hand reaching up to gently cup Kara's face. She smiles, a tinge of sadness in it. "We've just had a little bit of a rough patch. But we got through it, just like we'll get through any other rough patches in the future. I love you."

Kara presses a kiss to Lena's palm. "I love you too."

"Have you guys figured it out? I can practically feel the seduction eyes from here," Maggie calls from across the room.

She breaks the intense moment and Kara and Lena chuckle. Lena drops her hand and reaches out to take Kara's hand in hers.

"We're good," Lena says loud enough for it to carry over to where Alex and Maggie are.

The pairs begin walking towards each other and Lena chuckles when Kara pulls her along faster.

"Group hug!" Kara declares, wrapping her arms around her sister and Maggie.

She lifts up one arm to let Lena join the group hug. They all comply, relaxing into the hug.

"Thank you both," Lena says as they all pull back. "Kara told me this was your idea. I can't thank you enough. I'm not sure we could have fixed this out without your suggestion."

"You would have figured something out," Maggie says.

"You two helped a lot. Accept it," Kara says half-jokingly.

"Alright. You're welcome. Now go to bed, there aren't too many days left before our wedding." Alex pokes Kara's stomach, making her giggle.

"Fine. Do you think Eliza is going to make you guys get married in the throne room?" Kara asks.

"Ugh. I hope not. I told her I would be fine getting married in front of just family and friends in the DEO, but she didn't find that funny," Alex sighs. "But this isn't something I'm giving up on. We're not getting married in the throne room. We've already agreed to the backyard since it's large and 'picturesque' according to Mom."

"She's more worried about this wedding than we are," Maggie jokes as they begin their walk back to their rooms together.

Alex sighs. "I know! I just want to say 'I do' and be yours forever, I don't like all this planning."

"You love planning," Kara reminds her.

"When it's a fight or something, not a giant wedding that Mom wants to plan down to how many millimeters tall the grass is. And I'm not even kidding, she asked me about that the other day." Alex sighs.

"It'll just make our wedding all that more special." Maggie squeezes Alex's hands. "All the trouble we've had to go through will be worth it once it actually begins."

Alex smiles softly. "Yeah. I can't wait."

"Just a couple more days, babe. And then we'll be on our honeymoon." Maggie says, grinning when Alex's eyes light up.

"Heck yeah! I can't wait to spend all that time alone with you."

Kara puts her hands over her ears. "Lalalalala, I don't want to hear or think about what you're looking forward to on your honeymoon, so goodnight!"

With that, she takes an amused Lena into her arms and superspeeds to her room.

I'm going to try to move this along because I want the wedding as much as you guys do! I'll probably fast forward to the day before the wedding and then go from there! :) Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
