I'm happy
Chapter 1:Grey or Blue
She has been staring at the stick in her hand for the last 30 minutes. Her pregnancy test. It came positive. She was feeling different emotions: Sadness, excitement, happiness,disappointment… Why? She didn't know. She loved James but never thought about building a family with him. She never saw him as the father of her kids. It doesn't matter now. He is. Now she just has to tell him, hoping he'll be happier than her. But he wasn't.
"Mommy!"
Kara groaned when she felt her daughter's body jump onto hers. "Five more minutes sweetie,please" she said in a sleepy voice. She thought that she'd finally get a good night sleep without the sun's rays waking her up since she, for the first time, remembered to close the curtains. But apparently Eve's hunger won't let her.
"No mommy wake up!" She started shaking her mother desperately trying to wake her up, but Kara buried her face in her pillow, not opening her eyes because she knew if she did, she would probably open them to see the cutest little pout and she would cave instantly to her daughter's demands like she always did.
Kara knew that Eve had her fake tears ready if necessary so when she sensed that she was about to hear some really loud crying, she trailed her fingers down Eve's stomach and slowly began to tickle her. In less than a second Eve's loud laughter filled the room, along with desperate begging for her mother to stop. Kara held her and placed her next to her on the bed. They lay down there for a couple of seconds just staring and smiling at each other before Eve's stomach's growls broke the silence. "I'm hungry." She said with those innocent eyes.
How could she say no and sleep when her little angel is hungry?
"What the hell Kara?! What do you mean you're PREGNANT?! No. Check again! James yelled angrily. "I-I did" Kara managed to say through her sobs "I'm-I'm pregnant Jimmy." She could barely see with tears filling her eyes when he spoke again "No. No don't call me that right now. How could you do that? How could you be so reckless Kara? How could you do that?"
'What?' She couldn't help thinking. 'How is this MY fault?' But she didn't want to make things worse than they already are so she only begged him "I need you right now James. Please. I'm looking for acceptance and support here-"He didn't let her finish before he said "Well sorry I can't give that to you. I can't-I can't do this."
He took his jacket and was about to leave the apartment when Kara ran and held him desperately, fear and disappointment in her eyes "You're just gonna leave me like that? Leave US like that" she said, her hand on her stomach. "I'm sorry" was all he could say before he stormed out leaving her in shock with tears streaming down her face. She was all alone now.
"What do you want for breakfast sweetie?"
"Mhmm… Pancakes!" Kara chuckled at the sight of her daughter jumping and singing the 'Pancakes song and best song ever' as Eve liked to call it. It was a weird and long name.
"Ok but first go watch your face and brush your teeth"
"Ok" Eve said cheerfully before she started running pretending to be Supergirl when Kara's voice stopped her "Hey Supergirl I need help! Can you please fly and bring me the syrup?" "Yeah of course civilian. Supergirl is on her way!" She 'flew' and gave Kara the syrup. "Thank you Supergirl! You're my hero!" "You're welcome." Eve said before 'flying' to the bathroom. Kara couldn't help but smile at that.
She was flipping the pancakes when she heard a loud sound coming from the bathroom. She ran to find Eve on the floor crying because she fell from the chair she uses to be on the mirror's and sink's level. She quickly held her and asked "Are you hurt?" Eve nodded and pointed at her leg. "Oh baby, you'll be fine. What do you say after we finish eating we go visit uncle Winn?" Eve's face lighten up at those words and nodded.
Eve loved Winn. Although he's a grown adult and she was just a five year old girl, they loved the same things. Same love for food, songs, and superheroes. Especially Supergirl and Valor. They always sit and talk about things that Kara doesn't understand, and although she feels left out sometimes, she loved seeing her daughter talking about things she loved.
When they finished their delicious breakfast, Kara was washing the dishes while Eve was getting ready to go. Kara just finished when her phone started ringing.
-Hello?
-Hey little sis! How are you?
-I'm good Alex, Eve and I are just going to visit Winn. You?
-I'm so bored. Sara is at work right now so… can I come with you?
-Yeah sure get ready I'll be there in ten minutes.
-Ok love you.
-You too. See ya.
On their way in the car, Eve sat quietly in the back playing with Mr. Juggle Buggles while the sisters were talking:
-Kara, it's been five years. And I know you don't need a man but don't you want one?
-I do Alex. I wanna feel loved by someone and at the same give Eve a father figure but everyone just get away from me the moment they find out I'm a single mom. No one is looking for something serious and just wanna have fun and they don't want to take the responsibility of a child. It's ok Alex really, I'm used to it now.
-But do you want any help I mean-
She stopped her before she could continue "Alex. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. I have you and Winn. And I have Eve. I'm happy.
She was happy, right? Yeah she had the best daughter in the world. She was happy.
They arrived to Winn's place when Eve spotted the ice cream man and wouldn't stop begging her mom to let her eat, so Alex offered to take her and buy some.
Kara knocked and Winn's door. A couple of seconds later it opened. She turned around only not find Winn but some blue-grey eyes staring at her. A tall young muscular man –not that she payed attention to his body and muscles… it wasn't her fault he was wearing a tight T-shirt- with the most beautiful smile she has ever seen and he was so cute like-
She slipped from her thoughts when she heard his voice "Hi."
"Hi." Was all she managed to say. "Are you here for Winn?" he continued. "Yeah yeah is he here?" she answered "Yeah he's in the bathroom I think, come in."
She entered slowly not sure to trust him or not. "Uhh, who are you?" she couldn't help but ask. He offered his hand to shake hers "Mike. Mike Matthews. I'm Winn's old friend."
"Kara Danvers. Winn's best friend."
-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
They stared at each before Winn's voice rang in their ears "MON-EELLLL!Did you see- oh Kara! Hey how are you? I see you already met Mon-El."
-Mon-El?
-It's my nickname.
-Oh. Yeah yeah I met Mon-El.
"Good, I was excited for you guys to meet cause-" Winn was interrupted by loud yelling coming from behind his door "Uncle Winn! Uncle Winn! Uncle Winn!"
As soon as he opened the door, Eve jumped at him hugging him. "Hey mini Kara"
It was true she was basically a mini Kara: Same hair, same eyes, almost same personality. After a while, Kara noticed that her sister wasn't there. "Where's Alex Eve?"
"She said that aunt Sara called her so she walked me here and left" the little girl answered. Kara felt someone get closer to her and ask "Your daughter?"
-Yeah. Eve.
He smiled at her "She looks a lot like you. But I can't help but notice that you're not wearing a wedding ring." he said awkwardly.
"Oh yeah" she looked at her hand "Uhh single mom."
Mon-El raised his eyebrows surprised by that because from the way she said it, it seems like someone dumped her and left her with the baby. But why would anyone dump her? He slipped from his thoughts when he saw that she was a little embarrassed. Why would she be embarrassed? There's nothing embarrassing about raising your child alone. It shows how strong and patient you are so he tried to calm her down and continued "Me too." She looked at him confused and shocked before he quickly corrected himself "Not a single mom! Not a single mom- a single parent."
She stared at him before the cutest little boy came running to the room "Is that Caramel that I smell?"
It was. Eve brought some Caramel ice cream to her mom. "No!" she immiadetly said "That one is for Mommy!"
"But I want some!" the little boy whined.
"Kai, stop it's for should be respectful and only take what's for us." Mon-El said. Kara quickly jumped in and said "It's ok, you can take it. I'm not hungry we just ate. You can take it Kai if you want to."
"Thank you thank you thank you Ma'am!" Kara giggled at that.
She turned around to face Mon-El "I guess this your son." She said.
-It is.
-He's adorable.
-Yeah your daughter too. Just like her mother.
Kara blushed at his words. They stayed there just staring at each other's eyes in silence. 'Was his grey or blue? She couldn't decide and she didn't honestly care, they were beautiful' she thought.
In his mind he was thinking about her eyes too 'They are insanely blue. Like-like comets. She was so beautiful. He has never seen anyone so stunning'
They both slipped from their thoughts when Winn's voice echoed in the room "Why do I suddenly feel left out?"
