Arriving at the Cabin

Lena wakes up on Saturday morning at around 9AM. Instead of showering and getting dressed and then eating breakfast Lena decides to just eat breakfast first. In all reality this decision is totally driven by the fact that Lena could potentially bump into Kara and/or Alura downstairs and then enjoy eating breakfast with the two of them. That would be a great start to the day in Lena's book. Lena walks out of her room and to her disappointment notices that Kara's bedroom door is closed, so presumably Kara and Alura are both still in bed. Lena however decides to poke her head in Alura's bedroom and that is when she is pleased to find Alura out of bed on the floor playing with a few of her toys.

"Good morning darling." Lena smiles as she enters the room.

"Lena!" Alura says rather loudly as she gets up and goes running towards Lena.

"Shhh.... your mommy is still sleeping." Lena says as she picks Alura up in her arms.

"Okay." Alura says in a much more quieter tone.

"So how did you sleep little one?" Lena asks as she begins to carry Alura out of her room and downstairs.

"Good." Alura nods as she snuggles her head into Lena's shoulder

Lena chuckles.

"Shall we make some breakfast?" Lena smiles.

"Yes." Alura nods, happily.

"What would you like? We can have cereal, fruit, or perhaps bacon and eggs?" Lena suggests.

"Bacon and eggs!" Alura says, happily.

Lena giggles.

"Of course you'd choose the least healthy option." Lena chuckles. "How about you help me make some for you, me and mommy?"

"Okay." Alura smiles.

Lena and Alura walk into the kitchen and Lena plops Alura down on one of the raised kitchen chairs and then she starts to get together the ingredients for the breakfast.

"Alright little one. I'll start cooking the bacon and eggs. Why don't you go pour yourself some juice from the fridge." Lena smiles.

"Okay Lena." Alura smiles as she climbs down from the chair and moves over to Lena's fridge.

Alura opens the fridge and carefully carries out a bottle of juice in her arms. Lena hands Alura glass and helps her get back on her seat so she can pour herself some.

"You want some Lena?" Alura asks so innocently.

Usually Lena would have coffee in the morning, not juice, but she really can't refuse Alura.

"Sure. Thank you. Here use this glass." Lena smiles as she places another glass in front of Alura.

Alura carefully pours the juice and slides it over to Lena.

"Thank you darling." Lena smirks.

A few minutes later Lena is platting up the bacon and eggs, along with some cooked sliced tomatoes. Lena has made food for herself, Alura and Kara.

"Hmm something smells nice." Kara says as she enters the kitchen/living room from the hallway that leads to the stairs.

"Mommy!" Alura says happily as she jumps off her chair and runs over to Kara, taking her in for a hug.

"Hello honey. How'd you sleep?" Kara smiles as she picks her daughter up and takes her in for a hug.

"Good mommy. Look! Me and Lena made breakfast!" Alura says happily as she points to the plated food.

"Oooo I see. It looks very yummy." Kara smiles.

"Why don't we all eat at the table over there?" Lena suggests as she points to the table between the back of the living room area and the wall by the front door.

"That sounds like a good idea to me. And morning Lena." Kara replies.

"Morning Kara." Lena smiles.

Kara carries Alura over to the table and sits her down in a chair. Lena brings over the three plates of food and then goes back to the kitchen to retrieve some knives, forks, salt and ketchup. Lena is aware that it's not the most healthy breakfast in the world, but it is clearly going to make Alura and Kara happy, so she's more than happy to eat it.

"Alright let's dig in." Lena smiles as she takes a seat at the head of the table. Kara and Alura are sat either side of Lena, facing each other.

Kara immediately begins digging into her food and so does Alura. They both eat like Lena is going to take the food away from them if they don't eat it quick enough. It makes Lena chuckle.

"What?" Kara asks with a mouth full of food.

"You and Alura eat the same way." Lena smiles as she carefully cuts her food and begins to eat it a lot more gracefully than Kara and Alura.

"How so?" Kara asks.

"You both seem to eat so fast. I can't imagine you savour the food much." Lena replies.

Kara laughs.

"What can I say? I need a lot of food." Kara smiles.

"Me too!" Alura announces.

Lena and Kara both laugh at that.

A while later Lena, Kara and Alura are all dressed and ready.

"Okay, well, I need to go pick Sam and Ruby up from the airport now." Lena announces.

"Okay Lee. We really better head home so we can pack. Text me to let me know if you're gonna drive up with us today or not?" Kara says.

"Of course. I'll talk to Sam and Ruby when they arrive." Lena smiles.

"Alura, say bye to Lena." Kara says.

Alura frowns.

"I want to go with Lena." Alura pouts.

Lena is about to say that of course she can but then she realises that that decision is not up to her, and the fact is it would create another thing for Kara to deal with if Lena, Sam and Ruby aren't going to drive up to the cabin today. Kara would have to pack all their stuff on her own and then text Lena to find out what she's doing and then come and pick Alura up just so she can leave. So ultimately Lena just remains silent.

"No honey. Lena has to go pick up her friends, and we have to pack for the trip to the cabin." Kara says.

Alura frowns looking upset. Lena crouches down so she's Alura's height.

"Come here. Give me a hug goodbye." Lena says, softly.

Alura pouts but slowly approaches Lena and takes her in for a hug.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the latest, hopefully later today though." Lena says as she hugs Ruby.

"Okay. Bye bye Lena." Alura says, holding Lena tight.

Alura and Lena then end their hug and Kara approaches Lena.

"Bye Lee." Kara says as she takes Lena in for a hug, "Thank you again for hosting game night. I had a really good time."
