Kara couldn't believe that Mon-El had left a few weeks ago, but if there was something that she couldn't stop thinking was that last night they spent together.
"Kara advanced with her head bowed deep in her own thoughts, stopping when she reached her loft's door moment in which her heart skipped a beat because of the person that was waiting for her there.
Mon-El looked at her as if he was waiting for her to react about his presence, but she couldn't do it, not when she had believed that she had said goodbye to him at the DEO. However, it seemed that she was wrong.
"Uh..., come in" she tried to smile while opening the door.
It had been a year since he had been there with her, eight years for him, which was making this a little bit weird for both.
"Did something happen?" she asked trying to understand what he was doing there.
"No, it's just..., you deserve for me to be honest" Mon-El answered making her frown before sitting on the couch. "My marriage with Imra was kind of a lie, I guess... Although that doesn't mean that I didn't learn to respect her and, even, love her" he tried to explained not looking at her. "We got married to avoid a war between Earth and Titan" he finally said. "I can't just leave without telling you this, my whole heart is yours, Kara and... I know that that's not going to change" Mon-EEl dared to hold her hands in his. "I'm so sorry about telling you this when I'm about to leave, but you deserved to know the truth" he avoided her gaze.
"Mon-El" a whispered scaped her lips while her mind was still processing his words. "Thank you for telling me" she said with a little smile. "I think I'm going to miss this" she murmured with fresh tears forming in her eyes.
They both kept silence, for a few seconds they were just staring at each other. Mon-El dared to put his right hand on her cheek, which made her lean on that touch, the same one she had missed so badly.
"Comets" she could hear him whispered while looking directly into her eyes, shorting the space between them.
At first she stood motionless, but after Mon-El's lips touched hers she couldn't stop herself, grabbing his face to keep him close, no wanting to break that kiss. Neither of them letting the other to take control, being an apasionanted fight between them, but creating a new memory for that old couch.
She woke up confused, feeling a kissed on her forehead, but smiling slightly because of the memories from last night, Was he going to stay?
"I didn't want to wake you up" Mon-El whispered sitting on the bed. "I have to go" he brushed her hair away from her face. "I love you" he kissed her lips one last time. "I'm so sorry" he kissed her cheek before leaving her there alone, trying to understand how she could be losing him again, but knowing there was nothing she could do."
Tears slided down her cheeks while sitting on the couch, burying her face in her hands without wanting to open the door for her sister, who keep knocking until she decided to open it by herself.
She barely looked at her, but she really focused on the postickers her sister left on the table before sitting beside her. Alex was trying to make her talk, but she wasn't sure if her sister would get it, because she had tried to avoid that conversation for days. She had been saying that she was fine, but it was obvious that it was a lie.
"Were you crying?" her sister asked her as she started eating without answering. "Crinkle" Alex touched her forehead. "When are you going to answer? What happened with Mon-El?"
She looked away when she heard her ask, not wanting to answer that, so he shrugged causing the exasperation of her older sister, who watched her without knowing what she could do to get the slightest word.
She watched the postickers in her hands the exact moment her stomach refused to keep eating more food which surprised her, as well as Alex, who looked at her worried. This was not normal.
She left the food at the table before placing her both hands over her mouth before running to the bathroom, What was happening to her?
"Kara!" Alex yelled after her, genuinely worried about the health of her little sister, whom she found already leaning on the toilet. "Hey, hey, are you okay?" She grabbed her hair before offering her a towel so she could clean her mouth. "Do you want us to go to the couch?" her sister asked making her shake her head.
She didn't have enough strength to get back on her feet, so she just sat with her back against the wall shortly before letting the tears slide down her cheeks, How could this be happening?
She had denied those symptoms for days, she had thouth that everything was because of losing the love of her life again, but at this moment she was no longer sure, indeed, she could only think about one thing.
"We spent the night together," she sobbed, resting her head on her hands, wanting to be cautious with her words, feeling how her sister huged her, forcing her to rest her head on her shoulder.
This gesture only managed to increase her crying, leaning even more into the embrace of her older sister in an attempt to find protection between them.
Alex was stroking her hair as if she wanted to reassure her, make her forget everything that happened, how she felt at that moment, because her fears were becoming true.
"You really think so, don't you?" She heard her sister ask, which made her nod, she was not ready for this. "Do you want us to go to the DEO?" Alex asked.
She looked at her sister for a few seconds, not sure if she wanted to know if her uncertainties were accurate, but she did not have other option, so she ended up nodding slightly.
When they reached the DEO, everything collapsed around them again, causing her tears, her best friend wasn't there to welcome her, nor he would be in a while, because it was Brainy who walked towards them.
"Supergirl, you finally came back, there's a robbery in ..." He started talking quickly as Winn did when he had to warn her about something.
"We're not here for that," Alex interrupted, grabbing her sister's arm to pull her away.
"Is she sick?" Brainy questioned with concern as he watched her.
She sighed without knowing what to answer, because she was aware that her pale skin, dark circles under her eyes and messy hair let him understand that possibility. However, she chose to shrug and not answer anything, she still had no confidence to explain what could be happening, What if he told Mon-El?
She walked with her sister to the infirmary, feeling the nausea return because of the possibility that everything was true, so she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and sat on the stretcher waiting for her sister to talk.
She kept her eyes closed during the whole process, a grimace on her face as she felt the gel on her abdomen, really waiting for her to tell her that it wasn't true and that she was wrong, but that never came, because the absence of words from her older sister was the only statement she needed.
"Kara" Alex's voice was a mere whisper, but it was enough to break her, because the tears began to slide down her cheeks. "They're both healthy" her sister said as if she wanted to give her a reason to calm down, what she seemed to achieve, because that made her open her eyes because of her last words.
"Two?" She questioned wanting to sit up, she wasn't sure if she was capable of taking care of a baby, How could she take care of two?
"Identical" Alex pointed out with fear of her reaction and the truth is that even she was afraid of herself. "Maybe we could try to contact with..." she did not allow her sister to continue.
"No," she denied. "He's going to leave again, his place is in the future and I can't force him to stay," she explained, knowing that she couldn't bear to be the reason why he stopped being a hero.
"Okay," her sister sighed. "Everything will be fine, I'll always be by your side." She hugged her looking to keep her calm, but this made her feel guilty, because she knew her next words were going to hurt Alex.
"I'm going back to Argo" she whispered making her sister to look at her. "I'll be back before they're born" she said trying to avoid her sister to continue getting angry.
"No, Kara ..., What if something happens to you?" Alex asked. "You will be vulnerable to everything, you're going to put yourself in danger" her sister said to what she shook her head.
"I'll be fine" she said. "I just need my mother" she admitted.
"And what about me?" Alex asked sitting next to her.
"You can always use the portal" she answered. "I'm not going to get you away from this" she said embracing her. "I'm scared" she whispered.
"I know, Kara, but you have to believe that everything will be fine" her sister kissed her hair.
She smiled slightly with her head resting on her sister's shoulder. She was excited, but she was mostly afraid of not knowing how she was going to face it, how she was going to take care of two babies and combine it with their work and be Supergirl, Should she stop doing it? She frowned, there would be time to find out.
However, she had to admit that it broke her heart to think that he would not be there to meet them, to see them grow, but, perhaps, it was the best for everyone, even though she knew that destiny always insisted on getting them together again.
I've been thinking about writing this fanfic for a while and I think I've finally managed to encourage myself to publish it. I hope you liked it, let me know what you think about it.
