No kid(s) for Supercorp
I think the trope, that Kara and Lena want to have kid(s) of their own is a something which is mainly fueled by heteronormative conceptions of what history/media/people/society tells us to be the goal of happiness in life:
The ultimate goal to happiness and a fulfilled life is having kids.
No, it's not. And kids are not the epitome of love. It's just what "they" told us for centuries.
Lena and Kara won't have kid(s) of their own for many reasons:
They love Esme and love to be her aunts, having kid(s) of their own would take them and their time away from Esme.
They have a happy (chosen) family around. They are fulfilled with a social surrounding.
Lena knows that she has so many fawked up experiences from her own childhood, that she will need hundreds of sessions of therapy to resolve them in order to not act on what she learned from her "parents". Even if she knows that she was treated wrong, she can't just make it go away by "I know you have a good heart".
It was never mentioned to be a topic of the heart for Kara.
It was never mentioned to be a topic of the heart for Lena.
Lena wants to do good and she knows that she can do much more good for the world (and the universe) with her science and developments.
Lena loves her job and her scientific creativity. That's a passion for her.
Kara loves her two jobs from the bottom of the heart. That are two passions for her.
And: Kara and Lena need the rest of their free time to make up for the wasted years, multiple times a day and they still are hungry for each other.
