Chapter 84 - Necklaces

Kara, Lena and Alura make it down through an elevator into Lena's private lab, with Lena using her thumb print and typing in a code to open the lab doors.

"Wow." Alura says, in awe.

Lena looks at Alura with a smirk on her face, knowing that her daughter is obviously impressed with the high secure nature of getting into her private lab.

"My lab has to be secure, as I don't want any people stealing any of the tech in here." Lena explains to Alura.

Alura nods her head, understanding, while also turning her head from side to side, looking about the entire lab as they walk further inside.

"So, I guess I won't get a lab like this when I work here next week?" Kara asks, teasingly.

Lena turns back and looks at Kara with a smirk on her face, knowing her girlfriend was joking, but also knowing she has a surprise for Kara.

"Well actually, I've already set you up to have access to my lab here." Lena explains.

"What?!" Kara says, surprised.

"I thought that seeing as we will be working together sometimes, we might as well do it in here." Lena explains.

"Lena..." Kara half-heartly moans, "won't the other scientists who work in the labs think you are showing favouritism to me, your girlfriend, who is now working in the top lab in the company, having only previously had experience as a reporter."

"Perhaps." Lena replies, "But I don't care, and I know you'll prove them wrong. Plus, I didn't think it would be a good idea working outside of this lab, as I know some of the stuff we will work on will essentially involve you disclosing things about Krypton, and we don't want to give your identity away, do we?"

"I uhh...." Kara says, not sure what to say.

Lena grows a bit of a nervous look on her face upon noticing her girlfriend's hesitation in responding.

"If it's too much..... I'm sure we can figure something else out...." Lena says, a bit timidly now.

"No!" Kara quickly says, gathering her thoughts. "It's just.... unexpected..... and a bit overwhelming right now.... but not in a bad way."

Lena smiles, relieved, upon hearing that.

"Well... that's good then." Lena smiles.

"Yeah." Kara nods.

"I wanna see the necklace!" Alura moans, not wanting to wait longer, while her two mothers talk, to see her promised necklace.

Lena looks at Alura and chuckles.

"Okay, okay." Lena says, "It's in this safe over here."

Lena then leads the way to a safe in the corner of the lab, with Kara and Alura following her once more. Once Lena reaches the safe, she types in the 6-digit code to unlock it, and then pulls out two velvet boxes. After retrieving the velvet boxes, Lena closes the safe behind her, and then places the boxes down on the nearest table.

"Here we go." Lena says, "I only put the last touches on each necklace this afternoon."

Lena opens up the first velvet box, and reveals the first necklace. The necklace itself is silver, and has been moulded into a heart shape, with two little diamonds on it, one bigger than the other, there are then some swirly grooves on the rest of the necklace in a pleasing pattern.

"So, this necklace is yours, Alura." Lena says, leaning down to show Alura, so she can have a closer look. "These two little diamonds here, represent me and you. The bigger one is me, and the smaller one is you."

"Wow..... it's pretty." Alura says, in awe, not taking her eyes off the necklace.

"Yeah, it is." Kara agrees, nodding her head, looking at the necklace with such a big smile on her face. "A pretty necklace for two pretty girls."

Lena chuckles upon hearing that.

"And if you turn it over, you can see..." Lena begins, turning over the necklace to reveal Alura's name.

"That's me!" Alura exclaims, with a big smile still on her face.

Lena smiles just as widely at Alura.

"Yes, it is." Lena nods, "Each of our necklaces have our names written on them. Your name, here, I personally wrote myself, so it wasn't done by a computer or a machine or anything."

When Lena was making the necklaces, she thought that Alura would like it if the names on the necklaces were hand written by her, as after all, the whole point of the necklaces was for Alura to feel closer to her, even when she isn't with her. Obviously, Lena did use a machine to write the names in the metal, but it is still her handwriting, as she was guiding the machine. Lena just doesn't think it's worth explaining all that to Alura.

Alura smiles even wider upon hearing Lena's explanation, which Lena honestly didn't think was possible.

"Can I see yours momma?" Alura asks, sweetly.

"Of course, you can, darling." Lena smiles back.

Lena carefully stands up again, and places Alura's necklace into the velvet box, before then opening up the other box and revealing her own necklace. Lena then crouches back down to show Alura the other necklace, which is identical to Alura's, other than having the name Lena written on the back. Lena did consider writing the name 'momma' on the back of her necklace, but she ultimately decided against it, because she felt it would be weird for her to write the word momma with her own hand writing, and because Alura might grow out of calling her momma one day.

"It's just like mine!" Alura says, happily.

"Yep." Lena nods, "That's the point."

"They are soooo pretty momma." Alura says, complimenting the necklaces again.

"Thank you darling. That means a lot to me." Lena says, and then places a kiss on Alura's cheek. "Do you want to put them on now?" Kara asks.

"YES!!!" Alura says, quickly.

Lena chuckles.

"Sure." Lena smiles. "But how about we have mommy put the necklaces on both of us?"

"Yes." Alura nods, rapidly.

"Okay then." Kara smiles.

Lena hands her necklace to Kara, and then moves her hair out of the way. Kara opens up the necklace and then steps very close to Lena, and clicks the necklace in place around her girlfriend's neck. Kara then quickly plants a loving kiss on Lena's lips, before backing away again.

"There we go." Kara smiles.

"Hmmm." Lena hums back, happily, with a big smile on her face.

"Do me now!" Alura says to Kara, excitedly.

Kara turns and smiles at her daughter.

"Okay." Kara nods.

Lena then turns around and takes Alura's necklace out of the box, before then handing it to Kara. Kara takes the necklace and then crouches down and places it around Alura's neck, ending it with placing a loving kiss on her daughter's cheek.
