Chapter 76 - Leaving Midvale

Lena wakes up first this time, on their penultimate day in Midvale. Tomorrow, the Sunday, she, Kara and Alura will be driving back to National City just after 12. Lena admittedly has had such an incredible time here in Midvale, getting to know Kara even more intimately, with the stories she has shared with her from her childhood, and from the various 'fun' things they have done over the last few days. It has made Lena's heart swell, and she just feels so happy, in a way that she never thought was possible. But as much as Lena has enjoyed her time in Midvale, she is looking forward to going back home to National City. Lena may like visiting the rather out of the way rural town of Midvale, but she much prefers to be in the city, with the many things that a city offers. The only big negative Lena can think of, about National City, is that when they return home, they are going to go their separate ways, with Kara and Alura heading back to Kara's apartment, and she heading back to her own penthouse. Lena obviously is very attached to Kara and Alura, and she doesn't like the prospect of being apart from them anymore, even just for an evening. But for now, Lena is going to enjoy the last full day she has left in Midvale.

Once Lena wakes up, she grabs her phone off the night stand, noticing that Kara is still asleep next to her, tucked into her side. Lena looks at her phone and sees that it's only 7AM, meaning that she can get some more sleep. However, just as Lena thinks about getting more sleep, she remembers how Alura threw up last night, and wasn't feeling well as she went to bed. Lena decides then, because of that, she should check on her daughter, just in case.

Lena slowly slips out of bed, wanting to make sure that she doesn't wake Kara, as she does plan to get back into bed with her in a few minutes time. Slipping out of Kara's grasp was a bit of a struggle, as Kara was firmly snuggled into her, but eventually Lena was able to do it. Once Lena is out of the bed, she then tip-toes out of the room, and heads in the direction of Alura's bedroom. Lena opens the door, which was put to, and sees that Alura is still lying down on her bed, but seems to be awake. "Alura?" Lena calls out, in a hushed tone, checking to see if the five-year-old is awake or not.

"Hmmm.... momma?" Alura replies.

Lena makes her way further into the room and sees that Alura is rubbing her eyes, slowly waking up.

"Hey, darling. How are you feeling?" Lena asks, with sympathy in her voice, remembering how badly Alura felt last night. "I need to pee." Alura says.

"Okay." Lena nods, "You go to the bathroom then." Alura bites her lip slightly, as she looks at Lena. "Can you carry me?" Alura asks, sleepily.

Lena feels her heart strings being pulled, as usual, by Alura's request, and a smile breaks out on her face.

"Of course, darling, let's go." Lena says, and then leans over the bed and takes her daughter into her arms.

Lena then carries Alura out of the room and into the bathroom, placing her down on the toilet. Alura then does her business, with Lena remaining inside, wanting to keep a close eye on the still sleepy five-year-old. Alura then soon finishes, and after Lena helps Alura wash her hands, she picks up the young girl again, and carries her out of the bathroom. Lena and Alura then walk down the hallway, and soon walk past the bedroom Alura was sleeping in.

"We walked past my room, momma." Alura points out, still in a tired voice. "I know." Lena nods, "I thought maybe you'd like to sleep with mommy and I for the next little while."

"Okay." Alura replies, while Lena feels her nod into her shoulder.

Lena smiles once more, and then carries her daughter into her bedroom. Once the two are inside, Lena sees that Kara is still sound asleep, and thankfully hasn't woken up from her not being there.

"Okay." Lena whispers to Alura, "Mommy is still sleeping, so be careful not to wake her up."

"Okay, momma." Alura replies, in a hushed tone.

Lena then places Alura in bed, next to Kara, before then getting into bed herself. However, as Lena gets into bed, she notices the Alura seems to be a bit uncomfortable sleeping where she has just placed her, moving about a bit. "What's the matter, darling?" Lena asks, stroking some hair out of Alura's face.

"Can I sleep on your chest momma?" Alura asks, "I want to hear your heart."

As soon as Alura says that, Lena feels some tears come to her eyes, and she can't even pinpoint the emotion she feels to cause that.

"Of course, darling." Lena nods, and then pulls Alura on top of her, with her now lying flat on her back, placing Alura on her chest.

Alura then happily snuggles into Lena's chest, resting the side of her head right above Lena's heart, listening to it beat, which seems to soothe the young girl. Lena for her part then wraps her arms around Alura, holding her in place. The two ladies then soon drift off to sleep once more.

********************

A few hours later, at around 9:30AM Kara begins to wake up, stirring from her sleep. As Kara wakes, she lets out a yawn and stretches her arms, releasing some of the tension in her body from laying down for several hours. Kara then turns to look to her side, hoping to see Lena still sleeping next to her. However, what Kara did not expect to see, is Lena lying next to her, sound asleep, with Alura laying on Lena's chest, asleep too, with a big smile on her face. Kara can't help but grow a big smile of her own upon seeing this. Kara just feels so happy seeing the way that Lena and Alura interact with each other, and she has so much love for the two of them, it feels like her heart is going to burst at times.

As Kara lays in bed, and looks at her two loves, she considers getting up, and starting her day, and perhaps having some breakfast, but she decides against this. Kara decides this because she remembers that she specifically told Lena that she would like to wake up to her still being in bed, so Kara would kind of be a hypocrite if she doesn't offer Lena the same treatment. Then, at the same time, it's not like Kara isn't extremely happy to remain laying in the bed, looking at Lena and Alura. So, Kara stays in the bed for the next 30 minutes, smiling happily at Alura and Lena sleeping so peacefully. Kara finds it kind of funny, because she isn't bored at all, watching this nice intimate loving moment from Lena and Alura, she could honestly watch it all day long.

Eventually, after about 30 minutes, Kara hears her phone buzz on the table by the side of the bed. Kara looks over and reaches to grab her phone, and soon sees that she has got a text from Alex.

Hey sis! How has your week been so far? Hi Al. It's been great. We've had a lot of fun, and Lena and I have had some nice moments together.

That's good. I would ask for the details, but I'm not sure I want to know....

HAHAHA! You probably don't. But I can tell you the tame version when we get back home.

Okay. Want to do a sister's night sometime next week? It feels like we haven't done one in a while.

Yes. That sounds like a great idea.

So what have you been up to this week?

I've been spending more time with Sam and Ruby. I took care of Ruby 2 times this week, because she's on Spring break, but Sam still has to work. But we had a good time together.
