Chapter 173 - 6th Birthday Part 2

The group all arrive at the mini-golf course and soon begin to play. Seeing as Lena knew beforehand that there would be a lot of people in their group, she made sure to have the mini-golf course privately booked for them, for the next 3 hours. Of course, Lena doesn't actually expect them to be at the mini-golf course for 3 hours, but she wanted to give some leeway so they didn't have to rush either getting there, or leaving. But at least this way they will all get some privacy, without any people who may recognise Lena, or even Kara (for her CatCo fame), coming up to them, or taking pictures of them. After all, Lena is very protective of her children being exposed to paparazzi who might try and take photos of them, it's just lucky that none of them have tried to take a photo of her with Morgan so far. But Lena does know that that day will come soon, followed by all the news articles pondering who this new child is with Lena.

Another benefit of the mini-golf course being privately rented out for them, is that they can take everything at a more leisurely pace, all while drinking some nice alcoholic beverages that the mini-golf course serves. Lena knew that if they played when the mini-golf course was open to the public, their group being so large would annoy a lot of people who wanted to play who would be waiting behind them. This way they don't have to deal with all that.

"Okay." Lena says, with a big smile, once everyone in their group has got their putter and golf ball, "As there are 12 of us, I say we split up into 4 groups of three. There are 18 holes on this course, so one group should start at hole one, another at hole 5, the next at hole 10, and the final group at hole 15. That way we are spaced out pretty well."

The group all nod, and verbally say their agreements to Lena's suggestion.

"That just leaves us with who is going to be in each group?" Sam asks.

"Right." Lena nods, "Well.... seeing as it's Alura's birthday, I guess she should decide the group that she wants to be in, then we can all sort out the rest of the groups."

"Uhmmm..... I want to play with...... Morgan and mommy!" Alura decides.

"Alright." Lena smiles, not taking it to heart at all that Alura choose to play mini-golf with Kara instead of her, "So, Kara, Morgan and Alura will be together."

Ruby grows a disappointed look on her face upon hearing this, clearly wanting to have been included in the group with Alura.

"Ruby, how about you go in a group with Sam and I?" Alex suggests, having now picked up on Ruby's disappointment.

"Yeah, okay." Ruby nods, with a forced smile.

"Great. Then, I guess I'll go with Eliza and Elizabeth, leaving J'onn, Winn and Jess as the final group." Lena says.

"Perfect." Kara smiles, "Let's all start playing. Also, don't get too competitive.... I'm looking at you, Alex."

Alex huffs at Kara saying that.

"I think you should more so look to your future wife." Alex scoffs.

"Oh, believe me, I'm very aware of how competitive she can be, but she's too pretty for me to scold her about her being overly competitive." Kara says, with a smirk.

"Thank you, darling." Lena purrs, placing a kiss on one of Kara's cheeks.

Meanwhile, Alex pouts.

"Don't worry baby, I think you're very pretty." Sam says, placing a kiss on one of Alex's cheeks, which causes the redhead to break out into a smile.

"Alright, let's play!" J'onn announces.

The group all then begin to play mini-golf, with all of them having a very good time. Of course, both Alex and Lena end up being very competitive with each other, even though they were not in the same groups. The two just kept yelling their scores back and forth every now and again, along with a bit of trash talk, which increased when one of them got a hole in one. As for Kara, Alura and Morgan, their group had a good time too, with Alura making sure to give Morgan tips, and help her a little bit, with everything she has to do. Kara, for her part, just watched on, and was again, so very proud of how much of an incredible big sister Alura is to Morgan.

Eventually, after about an hour, everyone finishes up their rounds of mini-golf. Alura wins within her group, even though that was mostly because Kara wasn't trying too hard, and wanted her daughter to win on her birthday. Then in Lena's group, surprisingly, Elizabeth pulled it out of the bag in the last 9 holes, getting a hole in one in 6 of them, and letting Lena know that she wasn't trying until then. Upon hearing that, Lena realised where she got her competitive streak from. In the other groups, Jess beat out both Winn and J'onn, who each had slightly dumbfounded looks on their faces, then Alex won in her group. Overall, Elizabeth ended up being the ultimate winner, and received a little mini-golf trophy, which she gifted to Alura, who smiled widely upon receiving the trophy, even rewarding Elizabeth with a little hug.

After everyone finished the round of mini-golf, the group all had some water, just to flush out some of the alcohol in their system (for the adults), as they didn't want to be all drunk or tipsy for their next activity. But once everyone had a decent amount of water, the group made their way a few blocks down the street to an arcade, which Lena had also rented out exclusively just for them.

"Alright, guys!" Lena announces, "So.... the arcade is only open for us right now. However, you'll still have to get your own tokens to play on the arcade machines in here."

"What? Too cheap to get us some tokens, Lena?" Alex scoffs, with a cheeky smile on her face.

"No. I just have been preoccupied with other things." Lena replies, referring to all the other birthday arrangements she has done, "I've not had time to come down here at buy tokens for everyone. But you all earn a decent salary, so I'm sure you can afford to buy yourself some tokens."

Lena and Kara then proceed to get Alura a large number of tokens, all of which full into a handheld plastic bucket.

"Thank you, mommy, momma!" Alura says, with a big smile.

"You're very welcome, darling." Lena smiles back.

"Yeah." Kara adds.

"Come on, Morgan. Let's go play!" Alura says, grabbing one of Morgan's arms, and then tugging her away, deeper into the arcade.

Upon Alura doing that, Ruby grows another disappointed look on her face. This time, Lena notices.

"Hey, why don't you get everyone sorted and everything, while I watch Alura and Morgan for a bit?" Lena says to Kara.

"Sure." Lena smiles.

Lena places a kiss on one of Kara's cheeks, hands Kara some cash to get tokens, and then heads off in the direction of Alura and Morgan. The CEO finds her two daughters a few moments later, already playing some racing game, although Morgan clearly doesn't really understand it, but she's smiling none the less.

Lena then proceeds to watch Alura and Morgan play for a few moments, waiting for the game to end, which it does after about 3 minutes.

"That was fun!" Alura smiles, widely.

"Yes." Morgan agrees, with a nod of her head.

"Let's go try something else, Morgan." Alura says.

"Wait a second." Lena says.

Morgan and Alura both then turn to look at Lena, slightly surprised. Clearly both of the girls hadn't realised Lena was there until now.

"Alura, you should go play with Ruby for a bit." Lena says.

"But.... I want to play with Morgan." Alura pouts.

"I know you do, darling." Lena says, lovingly, "But you can play with Morgan every single day, because she's your sister, and is staying with us forever."
