Chapter 170

The others take longer to get ready, so Maggie and Alex end up waiting outside of the doors for them. Alex has an arm draped around Maggie's neck as they lean against the wall and Maggie has an arm wrapped around Alex's waist.

"How are you doing?" Maggie asks as she leans her head against Alex's shoulder.

"It's been an emotional day. I'm good," Alex says after a pause. She can feel Maggie's head turn on her shoulder and she meets her wife's eyes with a soft smile. "I am. I promise. I'm just... A little tired. I'll sleep well tonight."

Maggie presses a kiss to Alex's bare neck and hums in understanding. "Okay. Are you ready for the party?" Alex groans softly and Maggie chuckles. "Me neither. Just thinking about how many people are going to be there is giving me a headache."

"That's a lot of food. Though I'm sure Kara isn't going to complain about that." Alex murmurs, her lips curling up into a proud smile. "How do you think Lena and Kara will do with all that attention and..." Alex squints and pauses for a moment. "I was going to say human interaction, but I've noticed that not everyone is human. I mean, not just J'onn and Kara."

"I know what you were trying to say." Maggie takes her head off of Alex's shoulder to look her wife in the face easier as she speaks. "And I know what you're wondering. I think... I think Kara will be fine. With her personality and how exorbitantly happy she is right now, I think she'll be able to out-talk anyone here. And it is good practice for when she's Queen." Maggie shrugs.

"It's good for both of them, to interact with people as the leaders and partners that they are." Alex muses.

"Exactly. And as for Lena, she's been groomed for this since she was little. She'll be fine. I doubt this many people rattles her at all." Maggie says.

"Plus, it is their wedding. I don't think they'll mind all the congratulations and stuff. It'll just be a bit repetitive."

The door to the room that Kara got ready in earlier opens and Lena and Kara walk out, their makeup and hair once again flawless, though Maggie has doubts as to how much time "fixing" what very little was messed up took. Unless, of course, they made out and messed it up more. It's what she would do. If they did, then the time they took is more understandable.

Maggie studies Kara and Lena, and just when she's about to look away to ask about where Winn and Eliza are, she notices a small smudge of lipstick on Kara's neck. It's barely describable until she notices it, and then it's easy to see that it's the same color as Lena's lipstick.

"Kara, come here." Maggie gestures her closer.

She looks confused but complies, stepping closer to Maggie. Maggie licks her thumb and wipes the lipstick off her neck. It registers in Kara's mind what exactly Maggie wiped off of her neck and her face turns pink as she clutches her wife's hand harder.

"Try to get all of it next time."

Maggie gives her sister-in-law a wink and Kara lets out an embarrassed squeak. Lena chuckles and squeezes Kara's hand, drawing her back to her side.

"Ugh Mags, I didn't want to know what they were up to in there," Alex groans.

"Would you rather have a random person they talk to notice it?" Maggie asks with a raised eyebrow. 

"I know I wouldn't," Lena says. "Thank you Maggie. Are we ready to go?"

"Yeah," Alex says at the same time Maggie says "no."

Maggie gives her wife a confused look. "We're still waiting for Eliza and Winn."

"No, they left."

Maggie frowns. "What? When?"

"When you were cuddling with me. Winn made heart eyes and Mom blew us a kiss and then they headed to the party."

"Huh," Maggie murmurs.

"Aww, that's so cute!" Kara says with a wide, beaming smile. She turns to her wife. "Ready, Lee?"

Lena nods and they begin walking to the party with Maggie and Alex following behind them. It isn't long before the sound of a lot of people talking, probably in the hundreds. The doors are opened by two guards who bow their heads in acknowledgment to them.

As Kara and Lena step through, it seems like the conversation does dow within seconds as everyone takes them in once more. Kara has a warm smile on her face and so does Lena, though hers is admittedly shier. They walk hand in hand toward the table their friends and family are gathered around, looking every inch of the regal couple they are.

Alex watches as Lucy gets that look on her face and she raises her glass along with a spoon, and then clanks the metal against the glass obnoxiously. It rings out loudly in the quiet, and quickly more people start doing it too.

Kara huffs and looks over to her wife, who looks more relaxed, and luckily more amused than anything. Lena gently tugs on Kara, who allows herself to be drawn closer. Kara presses her lips to Lena's in a gentle, loving kiss. They keep it brief, but it still makes the people around them cheer and clap, the moment that could have and probably would have been more serious broken by Lucy.

They walk up to their seats but don't sit down just yet, instead turning to face the crowd of people.

"Thank you all for joining with us to celebrate our love, to celebrate our marriage. I hope you enjoy the food and the company!" Lena says.

With that, the room is flooded with waiters and waitresses bringing food and offering drinks to people. Lena and Kara sit down, looking at the feast set before them. Kara licks her lips and refrains herself until Lena takes the first bite before she digs in.

I thought I would ft to put a little Sanvers in there too! Depending, I might rush through some of this so that we can get to the smut and later, the end of the plot ;) Thank you all for reading and for your lovely comments! Stay awesome!
