Kara ensured before reaching to lift Elin’s small body into her chest as she kept crying.

“What’s wrong sweet girl?”

Kara inquired as she caressed her soft short curls and kissed her head, not really expecting her to answer.

“Did you wake up and saw you were alone sweetheart?”

She suggested as she bounced and swung her lightly in her arms and walked around to calm her daughter who was clinging to her whimpering. Not being successful in stopping her crying, Kara reached into the crib for Elin’s favorite doll. A fluffy colorful stuffed dragon doll which used to belong to Tyren.

“Oh hey look Elin-nizu! It’s Oggy! “

Kara smiled to herself when that finally got her attention. Elin stopped whimpering and looked at the doll in her mother’s hand.

“Don’t cry Elin! It’s ok. Let’s play together!”

Kara moved around the doll in her hand and pretended to be him in a funny voice.

“Aggy…”

Elin finally stopped crying and spoke the doll’s name in her own way as she out stretched one of her little arms to get the doll.

Kara let her hug and nuzzle into the doll as she kissed her on the temple again and moved to sit her on the table next to her crib.

“Okay sweetheart, I just want to check if you need a change.”

Elin was busy playing and biting Oggy and didn’t complain as Kara checked her diaper which was still clean. She then put Elin’s little lilac colored pants back on her and was about to lift her back into her arms again when she squirmed to sit up on her own, Oggy completely forgotten.

“What is it Elin-nizu?”

Kara watched in confusion as Elin crawled to her and reached for the cleavage of her night gown beneath her robes and tugged on it. Kara understood the gesture instantly.

“Elin-nizu? We talked about this. If you’re hungry I get your bottle.”

She had been trying to stop breast feeding Elin as she was almost one year old and had been almost successful. Elin resisted at first, getting grumpy when she would reject her and give her a bottle instead, but eventually she had become less persistent to ask her for it.

Kara gently moved Elin’s small hand away and watched in almost disbelief as Elin’s face scrunched into a frown and she pouted while her big beautiful blue eyes welled up. She immediately grabbed the milk bottle from its place in the heater that always kept it in the right temperature and offered it to her. Elin didn’t even look at the bottle and started crying all over again.

“What’s gotten into you tonight Elin-nizu?”

Kara put the bottle away and pulled a very tearful Elin into her embrace and walked towards the sofa.

“Shhhh… Ok. Just this time. Ok sweetheart.”

She balanced Elin on her lap with one hand and opened her robe and moved away the garment with her other hand offering Elin what she wanted. Elin stopped crying instantly and latched her lips on her breast.

“Easy girl.”

Kara winced a little as Elin’s new baby teeth bit at her sensitive skin and scratched the top of her head gently in return, smiling at how possessively she was clinging to her with her eyes closed shut. She reached down and brushed the lingering tears away from Elin’s warm cheek before taking her hand which was resting on her chest and kissing it lovingly.

Kara then started singing her a lullaby. An old Kryptonian lullaby which her mother used to sing to her as well. Elin opened her eyes a bit later, no sign of dissatisfaction in them anymore. She looked into Kara’s eyes with wonder, listening intently.

Right after Kara was finished with the lullaby for the second time, Elin’s eyelids fluttered and closed. She kept her lips on her breast, not ready to let go yet, but her body grew completely limp in her arms as sleep engulfed her.

Kara kept her eyes on her, never getting enough of the sight of her daughter.

“Miar…”

Kara heard Mon-El’s whisper from the doorway.

“Zohr…”

Mon-El came closer to them, a warm smile softening his features despite the tiredness.

“Everything ok here?”

“Yeah, she’s asleep now. What about Tyren?”

“Fast asleep.”

“Really?! Didn’t think he would fall asleep so soon.”

“I had to promise him a trip to Krypton.”

They both chuckled quietly. Kara sighed happily feeling Elin’s lips twitching in her sleep against herself. She gingerly guided her head away and stirred her then lowered her head to put a kiss on her forehead.

“I thought we were on the no more breast feeding policy.”

Mon-El pointed out, realizing that she had finally given in to Elin. Kara pulled her robes back to its previous state with her free hand before explaining.

“I know… but she was really upset for some reason and pouted at me with those eyes and I couldn’t…”

She ran out of words and watched as Mon-El knelt down before her and put a long kiss on Elin’s head. When he raised his head, Kara saw how his eyes were glossy with emotion and her breath was caught in her throat.

“Mon-El…”

He then rose up and leaned forward to catch her lips with his and Kara felt how his breath was shaking through their kiss. She only kissed him back harder in return.

“Let me put her in bed.”

Kara said as soon as Mon-El withdrew.

“No, let me.”

Mon-El brought his arms under hers and Kara put Elin in his waiting arms without a second thought. She was perplexed with how his eyes were still tearful with some emotion that wasn’t sadness. He carried Elin in his arms to her crib, looking down at her all the while.

“Did you show Mya your Comets?”

Kara heard him whisper playfully to Elin before kissing her face and lowering her slowly to her bed. Mon-El covered Elin with her small blanket then and stood unmoving, still mesmerized by her peaceful state, like he was trying to carve her daughter’s image in his mind for eternity. Kara came to stand beside him and put Oggy next to her in the crib.

She caressed Mon-El’s arm, still feeling how he was a bit tense with emotions.

“Zohr…”

Mon-El inhaled deeply before turning to face her, his eyes still wet.

“Thank you for making me a father. Thank you for our children. I love them so much. I love you so much.”

Kara’s felt tears welling up in her eyes as well at hearing Mon-El’s affectionate words.

“I…I love you.”

She pulled him close to herself, wrapping her arms tightly around his shoulder. He brought up his arms in return and hugged her firmly. They both stood there in each other’s embrace, reeling in the profoundness of their love and affection for the other and neither could find the right words to say.

“It wasn’t just me you know…”

Kara murmured when they finally pulled away from each other. Her voice was strained from all the emotion.

“What?”

Mon-El whispered back, sniffling a bit.

“I mean without you there I wouldn’t have become a mother either.”

Mon-El only gazed at her with a soft smile adorning his bearded face.
