Author's Note: This ended up being a lot longer than I had originally planned for it to be but just like the rest of the story, it just took off and I couldn't stop. So you get a final chapter that is just over 5,300 words. Parts of this chapter was inspired by reader Debora .DC as they showed an interest in Chuck, so I hope you enjoy the beginning of the story. The rest of the story focuses solely on Kara and Lena. It's a nice ending for such a fun story. I hope all of you enjoyed reading this story as much as I had writing it.

Happy Reading.

Epilogue

It was almost seven months later, in the month of July, Kara and Lena found themselves back where it all began. At Aunt Bertie's cabin in the woods by the lake, but this time around it was summer instead of winter.

Kara awoke after another night of passion. It was as though the second they arrived back here that they couldn't keep their hands off of each other, like being back at the place that started it all created a new found fire in them both. She sat up and looked upon Lena's sleeping form before she quietly, and sneakily as possible got up from the bed and put on a shirt and pants to go downstairs.

She was about ready to explode, she needed to get up and sit alone with her thoughts. Otherwise, she was sure she'd go against her plan and just do it.

She took one more look at Lena, before she quietly exited the room and closed the door as quietly as possible. She let go of a breath she was holding in before she made her way down the hallway and down the stairs.

When she rounded the corner, she was met with Susan and Chuck sitting on one of the couches holding onto coffee mugs.

"Oh, why are you guys down here?" Kara asked startled that they would be in the living room at eight am on a saturday. "Shouldn't you still be sleeping?"

"We could ask you the same thing," Chuck answered her question with a look of irritation on his face.

"I don't know what you mean," Kara looked at him confused before walking over to the kitchen and getting some coffee.

Chuck shook his head, "You don't know what we mean? Really? After all that ruckus last night, you being awake right now is a little confusing. You of all people should be asleep."

Kara walked back into the living room, and sat down on the couch to the left of them still equally as confused as she was when she walked into the kitchen. "I don't know what you mean."

"Do you guys not do it at home?" Susan chimed in and asked wanting anything to get some proper sleep.

"Do what?" Kara was clearly missing whatever point Susan and Chuck were trying to make, as she looked between the two of them as she sipped from her cup.

"Ugh.." Chuck exclaimed annoyed that their attempts of trying to get the answers they wanted was being missed. "When it happened the first night, I thought you know maybe they are just reminiscing about the fact that this is where their relationship started but then it happened again last night." From the look on Kara's face, she still was missing the point. "Sex Kara," Finally he stated the point, clear and simple, "You and Lena, seriously you two go at like bunnies. Do you just wait until your here and then make up for lost time, or what?"

"Yeah, you know that some of us come here to rest and catch up on the sleep we're missing at home. But nooo… you and Lena make that impossible," Susan added to Chuck's revelation of what was bothering the both of them.

Kara choked on her coffee as she was sipping it, it going down the wrong tube as she finally understood what they were referring too. Once she got her throat clear, her cheeks and the tips of her ears turned a bright red. "Oh…"

"Yeah, oh…" Chuck stared waiting for an answer to their questions.

"I thought…" Kara swallowed nervously, "I thought we were being quiet."

Chuck and Susan shook their heads side to side, "You weren't during the holiday in winter, and you weren't the last two nights," He said annoyed that he was not getting any sleep.

Kara smiled awkwardly, "I don't know what to say…."

"Do you think we could have at least one of these nights, free of the two of you, maybe?" Susan suggested wanting just one night of sleep.

"Well…" She answered in a high pitch voice. "I'm not sure about tonight. How about I'll promise to try and make it happen earlier in the day so that it doesn't impede at night?"

Susan and Chuck looked between each other at the comment before Chuck looked back, "Oh my god, are you going to propose to her?"

"Ugh, am I really that easy to read?" Kara asked disappointed that she might already be found out by Lena.

Chuck's mouth opened and closed a couple of times not being able to find the words to speak.

"You two have been dating for what, six months, and you think you know she's the one you want to spend your life with?" Susan asked finding the words that were lost on Chuck.

"Well, when you put it like that I could understand the confusion, but while we've only been dating a short time, I've known Lena for years. Her and I have been best friends for a long time, and six months ago, it all came to light. I didn't want to admit that I was in love with my best friend, and neither did she." Kara explained to her two cousins. "Then my stupid plan brought what we were feeling into the light, and… the rest is history. When I look into the future, the person I see standing next to me, is Lena and I don't want to wait another second without her knowing that fact."

Chuck nodded in understanding, "That's beautiful," He answered with the most sarcastic look in his eyes as he wiped away a tear that didn't exist. Before he dropped the act and continued "And while I am so very happy for you Kara, if you two get it on during the night one more time, I swear to you that I will barge in on your escapade," He stated with force in his voice.

Kara nodded, "That's fair."

"The one thing I don't get. Why don't you guys go to the hotel like you did last time?" Susan asked the obvious question.

Kara looked at Susan confused, "How do you know about that?"

"I was in the kitchen getting a glass of water when the two of you came in early that morning, and then I asked Alex later on and she confirmed it for me," Susan answered making her original question even more interesting now. "So.. why not do that again?"

Chuck looked from Susan to Kara, "Yeah, why not do that?"

Kara opened and closed her mouth a couple of times before answering, "That was a… a… moment in time where we had to…" She didn't know how to voice what happened that night without having to really say what happened.

"To…?" Chuck urged Kara to answer the question. "We're all adults here Kara, just spit it out."

Kara thought about it for a moment before she finally just answered the question, "It was initially Lena's idea but I shot it down because I thought someone might notice if we disappeared for some time but eventually, I needed to be alone with her without fear of being heard so… we went there. Which ended up backfiring on me, because I had to plow snow the next day on barely any sleep."

"So, why not do it again?" Susan asked once again. "You two are either incapable of keeping quiet while doing it, or the walls are too thin. Either way, why not just do that?"

"Because, we always stay here as a family so I couldn't just do that again," Kara argued her point in the conversation but she could tell that she was not going to win that one.

"That seems like an excuse," Chuck laughed at the answer that Kara provided. "Either way, as I said Kara, if you two do it again tonight, I'll be busting down your door."

"I don't believe that you would actually- Oh, that's right, you would," Kara started her response strong until she remembered what happened a couple of years ago with Jamie and Rory. Chuck barged in on them one time, and it stopped them, and everyone knew about it in the morning. "Okay, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." She gave a nod to confirm that she understood what they were saying.

Susan looked to the stairs behind Kara's head as someone was making their way down, "Speak of the devil."

Lena rounded the corner, looking at the two of them on the couch. She then walked over to Kara on the couch, whose back was faced to the stairs, she leaned down and placed a kiss on Kara's cheek, "Good morning."

"Morning," Kara's cheeks dusted pink from the affection as Chuck and Susan stared at her after they also said good morning.

Lena came back with her own cup of coffee and sat down next to Kara.

Kara was taken aback by Lena's fully dressed look, "Why are you already dressed? It's nine in the morning."

"I woke up, and you weren't there so I got dressed to go find you. Had I known that you were only down here, I would have thrown on some clothes as you seemed to have done," Lena explained her side of things. "So what are the three of you discussing down here?"

"Oh you know, the weather. Did you know that it's going to be really hot today, sounds like shorts and t-shirt weather. You know, I think I am going to get dressed, yes, dressed would be good," Kara rambled on as she got up and walked back into the kitchen to put her mug away before heading back to the stairs.

"Was it something I said?" Lena asked Susan and Chuck.

They shrugged and also got up and walked away leaving Lena to her cup of coffee alone.

About an hour or so later, Kara was walking with Lena on a well worn path in the woods. It was the hiking path that Kara often found herself walking regardless of the weather when she was feeling singled out for not having someone here. That ended when Lena came the last time, but this was the one thing she wasn't able to share with her the time before and wanted to now.

"Are you sure you don't want me to carry anything?" Lena asked walking in front of Kara holding onto her water bottle.

Kara on the other hand had a backpack on her back that was filled with various things one might need on a hike. Snacks, lots of snacks mostly for Kara, water and Kara decided to bring a blanket for when they get to their destination. "Why don't we let the one of us that doesn't feel weight, carry the backpack, shall we? You just keep walking up the path and I'll catch you if you slip."

"I think you just want to watch me walk up the hill, see something you like back there," Lena looked back at Kara for a moment recognizing that Kara had in fact been staring at her butt even if only briefly.

"What do you want from me? You're the one that decided to wear those short jean shorts, with one of my tank tops over a sports bra. Plus your hair is tied back in a ponytail, leaving nothing to the imagination. At least the shorts I am wearing go to my knees," Kara tried to argue why she'd been staring but was failing miserably.

"And what's your reasoning for the tank top? Hmm," Lena asked loving the fact that she was able to bother Kara so easily. She knew why Kara was wearing a tank top, it was very hot outside, and she was far from complaining about it because it put Kara's muscular arms on full display. Her work as Supergirl was doing wonders on her physique and Lena enjoyed every second of it.

"Uh, it's hot outside. I'd be sweating bullets if I had a t-shirt on, and while I am sure you'd love that, it would not be comfortable for me," Kara pointed out the reasoning for her own tank top. She's just happy she brought extras because if she hadn't she surely would be wearing a t-shirt. "Now come on, times a wastin'."

Lena turned and continued on the path that Kara had directed her onto, "So Susan and Chuck really said we were too loud?"

Kara nodded behind Lena, "Yup, apparently we've never been as quiet as we both thought we were."

"They were definitely referring to you, darling," Lena chuckled at the sound that came out of Kara's mouth from the accusation.

"No way, if anyone is too loud, it's definitely you," Kara stated thinking she was most definitely right. "Why don't we prove that point, right now?" She unexpectedly used her super speed to pull Lena over to a tree, pinning her against it.

"Woah," Lena was caught off guard by the action. "What are you do-" She was cut off by Kara pushing her way forward and letting her lips coast over her ear, her hot breath creating heat in her belly.

"No one is around," Kara whispered into Lena's left ear before she sucked in her earlobe, her hands surrounded Lena's tank top moving under to connect with skin.

Lena closed her eyes at the feel of Kara's lips moving from her earlobe to just below, her fingers gliding along her own skin, she was about to give in when she heard someone's voice, "We can't." She stopped Kara, "Someone is coming down the path."

Kara looked past Lena and could see someone walking toward them in the distant, which reset her brain to start, "You're right. Sorry, I don't know what came over me."

Lena leaned forward and placed a kiss on Kara's lips, before pulling back, "It's this place." She pulled her back onto the path and they continued to walk. "Ever since we arrived, it's like I can't get enough of you."

"Oh good, so I'm not the only one that feels like I don't have control of my own actions," Kara added to Lena thought about their time here this time around.

Lena turned back around for a moment, "You are not alone, darling." She turned back toward the path and after a minute or two the hiker that had interrupted them, passed them by and headed down the path behind them.

XXXXXXX

It was about an hour later and they finally arrived at the area Kara was directing them too. She had a couple of places she liked to go to, this one was her favorite in the summer.

Lena walked around the last tree, into a clearing that housed a lake and a beautiful waterfall coming from a cliff a few meters in the air, "Wow… How did you find this place?"

Kara walked past Lena to water's edge placing her bag on the ground, "Honestly, I found it by accident one time when I was flying around as Supergirl. Then when I came here, after a lot of trial and error, I found the path on how to get here. I thought you might like it because of how secluded it is, plus it allows a nice…" She turned back around to face Lena and her sentence lost all meaning at the sight in front of her.

Lena held a little black box in her hands, it's meaning clear as day. "Kara, I know this may seem sudden, but I have loved you for longer than you know, and when it was revealed to me that you felt the same, I was over the moon." She laughed for a second, looking away bashfully before looking back, "I went looking for the perfect ring, the day after we returned in National City because even though you and I have only been dating for a short time, I don't need more time to know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." She moved a little to get down on one knee comfortably on the rocks edge, before she opened the box revealing a ring, "Kara Zor-el, in front of this beautiful waterfall, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

Kara laughed as the words finally left Lena's mouth, she put up her finger to Lena, "Hold that thought." She reached down and unzipped the backpack, pulling out a little white box before walking back over to Lena. "Great minds think alike," She opened the box, revealing an equally gorgeous engagement ring.

Lena's confused look turned into a grin, "You brought me here to propose?"

Kara nodded, "So, of course I will do you the honour of becoming your wife."

Lena stood up so fast and crashed into Kara's open arms it was as though she too had superspeed. "You said yes," She almost couldn't believe it. She asked the question, but she wasn't expecting this to happen.

"Of course I did," Kara pulled back from the hug. "I love you." She leaned in and connected their lips in a brief but passionate kiss. She pulled back moments later, "Okay, so the rings, I guess we both get to wear engagement rings," She added as she blinked back her tears of joy, wiping at her eyes as she opened her box again.

The ring Kara had for Lena was a simple white gold band with a single cut diamond. She had gotten the idea for the ring from Clark. He had made his ring for Lois years ago, so she decided to do the same. Which created a personal element to the ring like no other. The box, she borrowed from Alex.

Kara picked up the ring from the box, and carefully placed it on Lena's left ring finger. "Phew, it fit," she sighed relieved that it fit.

"It does fit nice, thank you," Lena answered as she reached for the ring in her box. The ring was also a white gold band, but it was twisted around, one branch smooth and clear, the other rough and braided twisted together creating one single band. With a fourteen carat diamond at the top. She also placed it on Kara's left ring finger. "A perfect fit, you should also know that I have been talking with Brainy to try and get your ring to work with your supersuit."

Kara looked at Lena confused, "What do you mean?"

"I don't want you to have to think about removing your ring before you decide to save someone. So Brainy and I are trying to find a way for it to mask your ring when you are Supergirl. When you become her, your ring will still be there theoretically, it just wouldn't be visible. At least that is what I am trying to do, whether that actually happens, that's unknown," Lena explained shrugging at the concept maybe not working.

Kara smiled at the idea of it working, "Have I told you how much I love you?"

Lena scrunched her eyebrows in confusion, "No, I don't think you have." She wrapped her hands around Kara's waist as she looked upon her.

"I love you," Kara stated once again as she pulled Lena into her, connecting their lips again. She had no intention of letting go this time however, that desire was back tenfold. She pulled at Lena's tank top now, pulling them back, "Do you think we are secluded enough?" She asked in between kisses.

Lena didn't even look around and she answered with, "Yes." She could feel it too, this fire that she needed to touch Kara, she needed to feel her hands on her skin, her lips on her center, she needed it all.

Kara was pulling Lena back with the intention to grab the blanket from the backpack, but what she didn't intend for was what happened next. She took one too many steps back, and felt the rocks disappear from below her as her foot stepped on the edge of a rock and her momentum threw them back and into the water. "Oh no.." Her back hit the water, Lena coming down with her as she did.

The water was a lot warmer than either of them had anticipated it to be so when they surfaced it didn't cool them off one bit.

Lena surfaced moments before Kara, but as soon as she did, Lena moved back into her embrace, "You liked yesterday so much you wanted to recreate it, did you?" She smirked before wrapping her hands around Kara's neck and pulling her back to her. Their lips connecting with passion.

Kara treaded water backwards until her back hit one of the edges of the little lake, she was able to gain traction from the rocks below so she could wrap her arms around Lena's middle pulling her body flush with her own. "You have to admit that yesterday in the lake was exciting," Kara answered as Lena moved her lips to Kara's neck and began sucking at moments. She couldn't leave a mark on Kara's skin, but that didn't mean she didn't try.

Lena smiled into her movements, and was about to respond when she felt what she was sure was Kara's fingers and hand running over her center. She pulled back and from the look on Kara's face, she was right, "Oh, you-" She was cut off when Kara's thumb connected with her clit, pleasure coursing through her body. She leaned back into Kara's embrace, connecting their lips again, her tongue glided over Kara's bottom lip asking for entrance and once it was granted, Kara pushed a finger into Lena's core. Which caused her to moan into Kara's mouth.

Even in the water, Kara moving her fingers in and out created a friction that Lena was still not used too. Sure she could move her fingers faster than any normal human but it was more than that. Maybe it was the love she had felt for the hero, maybe it was something else, but she knew she would never get used to being with Kara on this level.

And just as it happened every other time, Kara moved her fingers just enough inside, curling them at the best moment, hitting just the right spot and Lena's orgasm ripped through her body. Lena had to hold onto Kara's frame to keep herself from losing all sense of grip and letting herself fall back into the water.

Lena's orgasm was still coursing through her body as she asked, "How are you always so good at that?"

Kara didn't answer as it seemed rhetorical, and slowly moved her fingers coaxing her orgasm to hold on just a little longer, creating a pleasure that she had gotten really good at creating. She moved her fingers against Lena's clit again, in an attempt to work her back up.

It worked.

Lena was moaning within seconds of Kara rubbing her fingers over Lena's clit. She stared into deep blue eyes as she felt Kara working her magic, her fingers slipping back inside again, her thumb running circles over her clit, creating a new found pressure that Lena was starting to live for. It didn't matter where this happened, work, home, here, there, she wanted it, she almost needed it.

She couldn't feel which way was up or down, side to side from the way Kara was moving her fingers, in and out, her thumb moving side to side, she was so very close to another orgasm bursting out of her. And it did. Kara did that thing with her fingers, the curl and that was it. Lena was done for, her body convulsed as Kara slowly moved her fingers within her until she was sure the orgasm was over and pulled her fingers from within out.

Kara smiled at the look on Lena's face as she leaned in and placed a soft sweet kiss on her lips.

Lena ran her hands over Kara's body, down to her shorts, her fingers easily made their way past Kara's underwear, and connected with her clit. It didn't take long, for Lena's long slender fingers to move against Kara's core and bring her off her own cliff.

It should have taken longer but Kara always gets so worked up when she's the one trying to make Lena's orgasm. Since it was two times, it didn't take Lena much before Kara's orgasm ripped through her own body.

They stayed in each other's arms for an extra couple of minutes, letting their lips glide against each others lips every so often.

Kara let her lips coast over Lena's lips once more, "Do you want to go back yet?"

Lena looked up into blue eyes, "Sure, I am sure your family is wondering what your answer was." She stated as she moved to get out of the lake, finally realizing she didn't have her shorts on, "Uh, Kara…"

Kara looked over to Lena's naked bottom half, "Oh right. I did wiggle you out before, I'm sure they are somewhere in the water, I'll find them." She was gone as she dunked under the water. In a minute or two she was back up with Lena's panties and shorts. "Here you go."

"I didn't even feel you take them off," Lena was so confused that she didn't feel the motion happen.

"I used my speed, you definitely wouldn't have felt that," Kara added to her original statement as she pulled herself out of the water onto the waters edge, water dripping off of her as she did. She stood back up and helped Lena as well once her clothes we back on.

"So what did you mean by, my family is probably wondering what my answer is?" Kara asked as she picked up the backpack that was discarded on the edge of the pool. She also tossed both ring boxes into her bag as well.

"Well, I had enlisted Alex in getting me one of your rings for sizing requirements," Lena stated as she wrung out her tank top to get it to start drying.

"I don't wear many rings," Kara pointed out the error in her story.

Lena nodded, "Yes, Alex had quite the time trying to get something that was your ring size. Was she acting a little odd the last couple of months?"

"Not more than usual," Kara said not remembering any weird antics with Alex the last couple of months.

Lena chuckled at that, "Alex says differently." She turned to head back toward the path leading back to the house.

Kara chased after Lena, "What do you mean, she says differently?"

Lena shrugged, "Alex said she had to try many tactics to get your ring size. Her final one was sneaking into your apartment."

"What? When did she sneak into my apartment?" Kara asked very confused that she didn't know any of this information and felt very in the dark.

"Ironically it was one of the times I stayed over at your place. It worked out for her though, because she was able to slip the piece of paper in my purse and then left." Lena explained based on what Alex had told her.

They both headed back down the pathway talking about all the antics that lead to them getting engaged.

XXXXXX

Once they get back to the cabin they were met with a lot of congratulatory hugs, and excitement.

"So, who asked first?" Alex asked once Kara and Lena were free of all the cousins, aunts and uncles.

"I asked Kara to marry me first," Lena answered Alex's question still a little surprised she was able to beat Kara to it.

Alex pumped her fist in excitement, "Yes, Brainy owes me a hundred dollars now."

"Wait, you bet against me?" Kara asked kind of shocked but not really that shocked, because Alex liked to bet against the odds.

Alex nodded, "I put a lot of effort into getting your ring size, it was the least I could do. Especially since it was so easy to steal one of Lena's rings." She received a look from Lena, "What? I put it back. Geez."

"Honey, oh you finally did it," Eliza made herself known walking from behind Kara and Lena and appearing at Kara's side to the front to look at Kara's ring. "It's beautiful."

Kara looked from Eliza to Lena, "Wait, you knew too?"

Eliza looked from Lena back to Kara, "Yes, Lena got ahold of me a couple of months ago asking me for my blessing for her to ask you to marry her."

"Sooo… both you and Alex knew that Lena was going to propose to me as well that I was going to propose to her, and neither of you thought to mention anything?" Kara asked curious to know her answer to the question.

Eliza shook her head back and forth, "Of course I wasn't going to say anything, and neither was your sister. But I do have to say, I thought it might happen here since this place holds so much for the both of you. It was just a matter of who."

"Ooooo.. It finally happened," Auntie Bertie walked into the conversation behind Eliza. "Was it Lena that asked?"

"How is it that my entire family didn't think I would propose first?" Kara asked confused that each new person that appeared all thought Lena would ask her first.

Bertie walked in and placed a hand on Kara's right shoulder, "Oh dear, it's because we like Lena more than you," she said with a smile, clearly not being truthful.

"Yeah, Lena's awesome," Susan added from the kitchen as she was making some food with Alex. They turned toward the voice, "What? She got me a low level position at L-Corp. I'll always be grateful to her for that."

Bertie looked from Susan back to Lena and Kara, "You know we love you Kara, but we're all just so excited to welcome Lena to the family. She'll be apart of our crazy Danvers Clan. Lena, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

Lena smiled at the comment, "I do."

"Good, now you just have to make it to the wedding and say that, and you'll be one of us," Bertie stated with a warm smile.

Chuck walked into the house with his swim trunks on, a towel over his shoulder, "Oh, there you guys are. Any of you want to come out on the lake with me? My dad was pulling me on the tube, it's a lot of fun." He noticed the shiny ring on Kara's finger, "Lena, you did it finally."

"You too? What about all of what you said this morning about it being too soon?" Kara asked so confused that so many people of her family were on Lena's side.

"Meh, that was all a show. Now come on," He waved at them to follow him.

Kara looked over at Lena, "He is right. It is a lot of fun, I'm going to go up and change, you want to come along?"

Lena smiled, "Sure, if anything I could sit on the boat and watch you guys fall off."

Kara chuckled as she made her way to the stairs, "I think you'll get on the tube." She said as Lena followed her up the stairs.

When they got to the room, they quickly changed and before leaving Kara removed her ring and placed it on the nightstand, "What? I don't want to accidentally lose it in the water." She explained herself to Lena was looking at her confused.

"Good point," Lena removed her ring as well and placed it on Kara's on the nightstand.

"Okay, let's go," Kara grabbed their towels and headed back down the stairs with Lena in tow. Alex, Susan and Kelly following soon behind as the five of them headed to the water.

It will always be the holiday getaway that brought them together, but what kept them together was the love that they both felt for each other. Now, they get to spend the rest of their lives experiencing all the challenges that might come their way.

The End to The Holiday Getaway
