------------------------------------------------ 
Catra sighed as she sat at the bay window inside of their bedroom in their castle home. It was already nighttime. All three of their kids were fast asleep. 16-year-old Finn asleep in their own room. 11-year-old Mara and 8-year-old Alex were having a sleepover in the baby feline's room.

The feline lady dressed in a black long sleeve fuzzy sweater and grey lace pajama shorts couldn't help but wonder where her blonde wife was. She had left early in the morning. But now, it was way past the time she usually gets home. She spent the whole day either playing and hanging out with the kids. Whenever she could, she tried to call the lady on her tracker pad or just plain out worry.

This wasn't like Adora. She would usually call if she was coming home the next day. Her heart yearned to hear the blonde's voice. She never failed to call at least once every day on her week-long mission. But this wasn't a week-long or month-long mission. She just went out for a day.

Her ears flicked at a sudden noise. The doorknob maybe? She turned her head as she quickly stood up, "Adora?"

"Mom?" Finn peeked into the room.

"Oh Finn, it's only you," she relaxed. "What's wrong, sweetie?"

"I was wondering if Mama had gotten home yet."

"No, kitten. Mama hasn't come back yet," she hugged herself.

"Mom? Have you heard from her at all?" Finn walked towards their mom.

The feline shook her head sadly. "I have been trying to call her, and no answer."

"What about Aunt Glimmer and Uncle Bow?"

"They're on vacation," The lady sighed. "I don't know what to do Finn. She isn't like this. She would usually call or send me a message if she was coming late."

The younger feline thought to themselves. Their mind was conflicted. Their mom was always home. She only went to work once a week, going on week-long missions at the end of the month. Their blonde mom was always mindful of her family.

But what was their parents' marriage like? Did they fight? Could the blonde not come home because of a disagreement?

"Mom?"

The feline turned towards her kid, "Yes, love?"

"Do you think... do you think Mama..."

"What?"

"Do you think Mama would cheat on you?"

Catra looked stunned, taken aback. She looked away, "I-" she shook her head.

She sat back down on the edge of the bed and looked down towards her hands. She ran a finger against her golden wedding band. The word "Promise" written in the blonde's cursive handwriting, engraved on the bottom. She shook her head, "N-no. Your mom is different. She turns people away. She..." she couldn't help but tear up as she covered her mouth.

"No-no-no. I didn't mean to upset you, mom" Finn rushed their feline mom's side. They sat down, "I'm just trying to figure out what happened to her. You're right. Mama is different than everyone,"

"But..." the lady feline's tail wrapped against her leg. "Your mom loves you all to pieces and... maybe our marriage just burned out, and she was just staying for you guys."

"No Mom! Don't think like that. You are thinking too much into it."

"Finn, I-" her ear flicking once again. The bedroom's doorknob moving once again.

The blonde walked in, noticing the two.

The feline lady turned to the door and gasped. She stood up. "Adora,"

"Cat? Finn?" she turned on the light. "Why are you two still awake? Did something happen?" she held her arm close.

The lady feline gasped, "Oh my god, Adora, what happened to you?" she rushed over.

The blonde's right arm wrapped in gauze and bandages. Her uniform dirty with dirt and soil, and her hair coming out of her ponytail.

"I'm fine. I just got hurt." Adora put a hand out in front. "I was trying to come in quietly, and then I heard voices." she sniffled.

Catra looked at her, "Love, where have you been all day! We were worried sick and-" she was interrupted by the blonde kissing her. She teared up as she wrapped her arms around the girl's neck.

Adora pulled away and put her forehead against hers, "I'm so sorry. I was in the Crimson Waste with Huntara then we were ambushed. I tried to transform to fight back, but then I fell backward into this ditch. Huntara had to help me out, and it was a struggle. But I'm okay. I really am, my love."

Her feline wife froze at the mention of the former Horde officer and current leader of the Crimson Waste's name.

The blonde did admit she had feelings towards the lady before they got together. Could Finn's suspicions be right? The blonde's feelings were just unpredictable as hers.

"It's okay. You are home now. I was so worried when I tried to call you, and you didn't answer" her wife pulled herself away.

The blonde noticed the girl being a little cold. She looked towards her feline kid, "Finn..." she smiled. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, Mama. Happy to see that you're back" they smiled.

Adora looked back to her feline wife, "Cat, what-"

"You should shower" she backed up.

The lady felt hurt. She quickly nodded, "Yeah," she cleared her throat. She unbuckled her belt as she walked into the adjourning bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Finn was confused. Wasn't this what their mom wanted? For the blonde to be back home. They looked back to their feline mom, "Mom? What was that all about?"

"She lied to my face. She's cheating on me."

"What? No, mom. I put that idea in your head. Mama is head over heels over you. She has been for years. Since I was a baby and I am 16 years old! She showers you with kisses, hugs, cuddles, laughs, and so much. I just said what I said because I was just trying to figure out what  happened to her. You saw her! She's filthy! She's hurt! She came home. If she was cheating on you, she would be clean and not hurt. She looked hurt when you rejected her"

"How do we know that?" she sighed. "Look, I have my doubts. I have my insecurities. Your mother leaving me for someone else was always one of the things on my mind" she crossed her arms.

Finn bit their lip, "Can I tell you something?"

"What is it?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, bud."

"And Mama loves you too."

"Finn. I know she does. I mean, she could love me with all her heart. I could love her with all of mine. But that doesn't stop anyone from getting into bed with someone else."

"No offense, mom. I love you. I really do. But do you hear yourself correctly?"

Catra sighed softly and looked towards the bathroom door as it opened.

The blonde stepped out, wearing grey sweatpants and a white short sleeve shirt. She rubbed her hair against a towel. "Oh, you two are still talking."

The feline lady looked back towards their kid, "Hey Finn, can we talk in the morning? I wanna talk to your Mama by ourselves"

"Yes, of course," Finn smiled. He kissed their mothers' cheeks. "Good night, Mom. Good night, Mama."

The wives nodding and smiling, "Good night, love," the two of them stated.

The young feline smiled as they walked out of the bedroom.

Adora cleared her throat after the door closed. She hung her towel on the side of their hamper, "Cat, what's wrong?"

"Are you sleeping with someone else?" the feline blurted out quickly.

"What? Wait. What? What makes you think that?" the blonde looked towards her.

"You have been missing since this morning. I have been worried sick. I have been with the kids all day, putting on a brave face. I lied when they asked me what's wrong. I was calling and calling, and you never answered! You disappeared. I was worried something happened, and then you come home and tell me that you were with Huntara-"

"Huntara and I are nothing! We are friends, and that is all!"

"How can I believe that?"

"Because I promised you 18 years ago that I would love you and only you! I sealed that promise the minute I put that ring on your finger and said I do."

"Well, we both know how you are with promises!" she quickly exclaimed.

Adora gasped. She really did it. She brought up the 'promise' card. Her heart sank.
