Notes: This is the last chapter of this story. I decided to go ahead and post it today along with chapter 17 since it's so short, and as a sort of thank you for everyone who's come with me on the journey this fic represents. This story was written as a gift for Iamsuperconfused as part of the Super Santa Femslash 2019 exchange over on AO3. I'm sorry I didn't have the whole thing done by the due date, but I hope the end result was worth the wait. To everyone who has read, left kudos and commented, thank you so much for the love and support this fic has gotten. I hope the ending is satisfying, and lived up to everyone's expectations.


July 10, 2019

Maggie smiled as Kara sat down next to her and passed over a Noonan's cup.

"One large, black coffee, no sugar," Kara said. "You and your ridiculously complex coffee order."

Maggie rolled her eyes. "Well, we can't all be Large Pumpkin Spice Latte, extra foam, with cinnamon on top."

"You do realize you two are disgusting, right?" Alex asked.

Maggie scoffed as she looked over at Alex and Kelly. "Pot, Kettle for you on line two."

"She has a point, you know," Kara said. "You two have been together what, three months?"

"Not quite," Kelly said.

"Oh, that's right. Your 'dativersary' isn't for two more days," Kara said.

"You're just jealous because you didn't think of it," Alex said.

"Or maybe you're jealous because I get to go home to my girlfriend every night," Kara said.

"Well, we can't all be uHaul lesbians," Alex said.

Maggie looked over at Kelly and saw the amusement she felt reflected back in Kelly's eyes.

"Are we going to have to separate you two?" Kelly asked.

Alex looked at Kelly. "I'll behave if she does."

"You started it," Kara said.

"Kara," Maggie said in a warning tone.

Kara turned towards her, and gave a little pout, and Maggie couldn't help but lean over and kiss it off her lips.

"Really?" Alex protested. "In front of my coffee?"

Maggie, Kara and Kelly all laughed, and when Maggie looked over, she saw a huge smile on Alex's face.

"Alex."

All of them turned at the sound of Alex's voice, spoken in a thick Russian accent. Astra stood there with a shy smile on her face, looking at Alex like she hung the moon. Her look had changed a lot over the last few months. She'd died her hair black and wore it in a pixie cut with a pair of glasses that were a different style from Kara's. the gold dot earrings Kara wore were replaced with small silver captive ball rings with a purple gem ball in them. Side by side, it was obvious she and Kara were twins, but they looked surprisingly different. Alex pulled away from Kelly enough to open her arms, and Astra did a small little hop of excitement before she stepped into the hug.

"Hey, you," Alex said. "How are you doing?"

"I'm good," Astra said. "Ms. Grant only threatened to five me five times yesterday. I think she's starting to like me."

"That's definitely a good sign," Alex said. "It took Kara almost a year to get that far."

Astra let go of Alex, and turned to Kelly, who already had a hug waiting for her. Maggie had to bite her lip to keep from laughing at the slight blush that creeped into Astra's cheeks.

"It's good to see you, Kelly," Astra said.

"It's good to see you too," Kelly said as she let go.

"You know, I'm feeling a little left out over here," Maggie said.

Astra smiled and came around the table to give Maggie a big hug, before moving on to Kara. Astra had just let go of Kara when Maggie heard another voice.

"Hey, is it too late for me to get in on that?" Nia asked.

Astra turned and looked at Nia, and Maggie had to bite her lip to keep from laughing as Astra turned as red as Kara's cape.

"I… um… I…" Astra sputtered.

Nia just smiled and stepped in, hugging Astra tightly. Astra, for her part, turned slightly purple as she hugged Nia back. Once the hug was over, she just stood there staring at Nia in awe.

"Astra," Kara said gently.

Astra jumped a little and turned towards her. "Yes?" she squeaked.

"You're going to be late with Ms. Grant's latte," Kara said.

"You're right!" Astra said. She turned back to Nia. "It was lovely to see you again, Ms. Nia." She rushed off towards the counter before Nia going say a word.

"Well, she's actually speaking now," Nia said. "That's an improvement."

"Poor Nia," Maggie said. "Being so hot must be such a burden."

Nia sighed dramatically. "It's my cross to bear."

"Is Brainy with you?" Alex asked.

"No," Nia said. "He didn't sleep over last night. He said something about some analysis he had to run at the DEO to see if he could find Lex. I don't think he left last night."

Alex shook her head. "I still want to know how that man disappeared out of a guarded medbay with a broken back, a shattered pelvis, and six skull fractures."

"I don't know," Maggie said. "But we found him before. We'll do it again."

"Speaking of which, I have got to get to work," Alex said. She leaned over and kissed Kelly goodbye. "See you tonight?" she asked.

"I might be a little late," Kelly said. "The training with the Q-Wave machine might run a bit long."

"Okay. Text me when you leave work."

"I will. See you."

"See you."

Alex headed for the door and Kelly started gathering up her things. "That's actually my queue. I'm going to head out. See you tomorrow?"

"Same time, same place," Kara said.

Nia turned to Kara. "You ready?" she asked.

"Give me a minute?" Kara said.

"I'll wait by the door," Nia said. She leaned in and kissed Maggie on the cheek. "You be careful out there."

"I'm not the one who has to spend the day locked in a building with Cat Grant," Maggie said. She turned back to Kara. "Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah," Kara said. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because you're seeing Lena for the first time in three months today."

Kara sighed. "It was her idea. I'm sure it will be fine."

"If you need me, just call," Maggie said. "I'll get my girlfriend to toss her into orbit for you."

Kara laughed, and the smile on her face was enough to make Maggie's heart skip a beat. She leaned in and kissed Kara, and just like every other time, it felt like home.

"What are you, J'onn and Susan up to today?" asked when the kiss was over.

"I think J'onn is still looking for that stolen guidance computer. Susan's working the doxing case. I'm tracing some property seized by the Children of Liberty."

"Promise me you'll be careful," Kara said.

"I promise. And if anything does happen," Maggie held up her arm, so Kara could see the signal watch.

"I love you," Kara said.

"I love you too," Maggie said. "Say hi to Lucy for me."

"I will," Kara said. She got up and headed towards the door, and Maggie watched her go, not quite sure how she'd gotten so lucky.

"Kara," she whispered, just before Kara was out the door. Kara turned back to look at her, and Maggie lifted her cup. "Here's to us."

Kara smiled and lifted her cup. "Here's to us."

Maggie couldn't hear the words, but she could see the love in Kara's eyes, and that was all she needed.
