Chapter 168 - Morgan Origins

It is now the next day, and Lena is waking up and feeling more relaxed than she has felt in the last few days. The reason for this, is as cliché as it sounds, Lena always sleeps better when Kara is in the bed next to her. Lena doesn't really know what the biological reason for it is, but when she is snuggling with Kara, she feels absolutely wonderful. However, saying that Lena actually had the best sleep in the last few days isn't actually that big of a thing to say, because she hasn't been sleeping much anyway. For Kara's side of things, she feels exactly the same, as the bed just has felt empty without Lena laying there next to her. The blonde is so glad that her future wife is home now.

Lena slowly opens her eyes, as she wakes, and once she does, she sees that Kara is already awake, looking at her with a loving smile on her face, but not in a creepy way or anything.

"Morning..." Lena says, with a little yawn.

"Morning." Kara replies, and then takes Lena in for a kiss.

"Hmmmm.... How long have you been awake?" Lena asks, as she pulls away from her kiss with Kara.

"Only a few minutes." Kara replies, "I just woke up when I noticed your heartbeat changing from how it sounds when you are asleep, to how it sounds when you are about to wake up."

After hearing Kara say that, Lena feels so touched. The fact that Kara can somehow hear her heartbeat while she is asleep, and wake up from it, is incredible, and it makes Lena feel wonderful, and so loved by Kara.

"I love you." Lena says to Kara.

"I love you too." Kara replies, with a loving smile.

Lena then takes Kara in for another kiss, and this kiss lasts a bit longer than the other one. However, eventually Lena pulls back, because as much as she would love to spend all day in bed with Kara, kissing her, the brunette knows she has to go to work today.

"Okay.... I need to get up now." Lena says, with some regret in her voice.

"Owww." Kara pouts, with a big lip.

Lena chuckles, and places a quick kiss on one of Kara's cheeks.

"I'm sorry, darling." Lena says, "But I do really have to go to L-Corp today. I think if I don't, Sam might either quit, or kill me."

Kara now chuckles upon hearing that.

"Yeah, okay. That's fair enough." Kara nods, "Alex did mention how much work Sam had while you were gone."

Lena nods her head back at Kara.

"Which is exactly why I can't let her continue to do all that work, and run my company for me." Lena says.

"Okay." Kara replies, with a small smile.

Lena and Kara then both get out of bed, with the CEO grabbing her phone to check for any emails or texts she needs to answer, as she does every morning.

"Alright. I'm going to head into the shower now, if that's okay?" Lena says.

"Sure." Kara smiles, "I'll go wake Alura and make her breakfast."

Kara then makes a move to leave the bedroom.

"Uhhh.... Kara?" Lena calls out.

"Yeah?" Kara replies, turning back around.

"Aren't you forgetting about Morgan?" Lena says.

"Oh Rao! Morgan! I completely forgot!" Kara says.

Lena now chuckles.

"That's okay." Lena replies, "I'm sure it will take a bit of an adjustment for myself, you, and even Alura, to get used to Morgan being here, for however long she'll be staying with us."

"Yeah." Kara nods back, "What.... are we going to do with Morgan today?"

"Well.... we obviously will need to sort out her whole school situation, but it's Friday today, so that can wait until next week." Lena says, "But as for today, I don't think it will be a good idea for her to come into L-Corp with me, because I won't be able to be with her for most of the day, because I have a lot of meetings. So, can you take care of her?"

"Uhhh.... Yeah." Kara nods, "Actually, I'll just work from home today. I don't physically need to be at CatCo for any meetings or anything today, so I'll give Jess a call to let her know I'll be working from here. That way Morgan can just stay here with me all day, and maybe we can go for a little walk or something during lunch?"

"That sounds lovely, darling." Lena smiles, "Now, I'm just going to hop into the shower. You go wake the kids."

"Sure." Kara nods.

Lena then proceeds to walk into the bathroom while Kara leaves the bedroom and heads for Alura's room first. Kara pokes her head in Alura's room, but as soon as she does, she sees that Alura is nowhere to be found.

"Alura?" Kara calls out, as she walks further inside the room.

Kara gets no response, and walks into Alura's bathroom to check to see if the 5-year-old is there, but she isn't. After this, Kara assumes that maybe Alura got up early or something, and has gone downstairs, which she knows would be strange, but she doesn't want to panic just yet.

Once Kara determines Alura is not in her bedroom, she decides to walk across the hall and head inside the bedroom Morgan is sleeping in, and as soon as she does this, Kara's heart soars. Kara's heart soars because the sight she sees before her is Alura and Morgan sleeping in the same bed, cuddled with one another, fast asleep. In fact, the sight is so incredible that Kara quickly heads back into her and Lena's bedroom to grab her phone, and take a photo, so that Lena can see it later.

A couple of minutes later, when Kara is done admiring the sight, she walks further into the bedroom, and takes a seat on the edge of the bed, next to Alura.

"Girls, it's time to wake up." Kara says in a soft voice, as she strokes Alura's side.

Neither Alura or Morgan wake up, at first, but as Kara slowly continues to stroke Alura's side, the 5-year-old soon begins to wake, which in turn causes Morgan to wake up, due to Alura's movements.

"Morning, girls." Kara smiles.

"Morning, mommy." Alura smiles back, shifting away from Morgan and taking Kara in for a sleepy hug.

Morgan, for her part, doesn't say anything, she just looks at Kara with a nervous look on her face. Kara simply puts it down to Morgan being new to being around her and everything.

"So, why are you two sleeping in the same bed? What happened?" Kara asks, with a soft smile on her face.

"I promise, I didn't mean to do it." Morgan quickly says, with a worried look on her face.

"Mean to do what?" Kara asks, confused.

"It's okay, Morgan." Alura says, turning to look at the 4-year-old, before turning back to look at Kara, "Morgan was sleep walking last night. I saw her do it when I went to get up to do a wee. So, I helped her back to bed, but as I did, she woke up, and told me she was scared, and doesn't like when she sleepwalks. So, I stayed with her, and we went to sleep together."

"Oh, okay." Kara nods.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sleep walk." Morgan says, still in a worried voice.
