It's been a couple of weeks since Maggie and I broke off our engagement. In that time Sam has come to me and asked for help because she was having memory loss and would disappear for days leaving Ruby alone and not remembering where or what she was doing. After doing test after test with her there wasn't anything that we could give her to explain everything. Then one day Kara was summoned by Reign she looked oddly familiar when her mask fell off. We then realized it was Sam but she didn't respond to anyone when we called her Sam. We ended up finding her weakness so we could get her and lock her in a holding sell until we can figure out how Sam becomes Reign. I decided to take Ruby and watch over her until we can help Sam. Lena and Kara have helped with her as well. But in the middle of all this while Kara and I were on a mission we came across a little girl who seems to not exist at least in our universe. To be honest she looks a lot like Maggie and I. Or at least what our kid would look like if we were to put our DNA together. The only thing we have gotten out of her is her name which is Jade and that she's about 3 almost 4 years old. We did so much testing on her when she first came here that we freaked her out and she'll only trust me. But today we have to get some blood so that Lena and I can do some DNA testing on it to see if we can locate her parents.
"Hey Jade, how did you sleep at Doctor Hamilton's last night?", I asked Jade with a smile on my face. Doctor Hamilton has a daughter about Jade's age so she offered to look after Jade until we figure everything out.
"Good! Harper and me played all day! Are we gonna do more stuff today?", Jade asked with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah but all I have to do is get a little blood to test. I'll make sure it doesn't hurt okay pretty girl.", I said to Jade with a smile on my face.
"Okay. Then we get lunch?", Jade asked with a smile on her face.
"Of course. My sister Kara and her best friend Lena are going to join us. Is that okay?", I asked Jade as I started to get ready to take her blood.
"I like Kara.", Jade said with a smile.
"Good!", I said with a smile of my own.
"Okay kiddo time to get some blood. If you want you can close your eyes. I promise it'll be quick.", I said to her as I started to set her arm up to take some blood.
"All done?", Jade asked me as her eyes were closed.
"Almost. You are being very brave.", I said to her as I was finishing up. "You don't like needles do you?", I asked Jade as she squinted her eyes even more then before.
"No, my Mommy don't either. Mama says I like her.", Jade said to me. This is the first time she has mentioned her parents. Maybe I can finally ask her who they are.
"Yeah I don't like needles either. Just like my Mommy. Do you know where your mommies are?", I asked her as I finished up and she opened her eyes. She just looked down and shook her head yes. "Can you tell me where they are? I'm sure they miss you very much and want you back home.", I asked then said to her.
"No I not supposed to tell no body. Mama said it not safe.", Jade said to me with a sad expression on her face.
"This is a weird question. But do they live on this planet?", I asked Jade.
"Yes but Mama says that they no know who I am. She says I goin' to a ultimate unisave.", Jade said to me as I tired to figure out what she was saying.
"Are you from an alternate universe?", I asked her piecing the pieces together.
"Yes that what I say. Mommy and Mama left wifh bad people. They sended me here. Mommy says that I here to live wifh other Mommies. But other Mommies no know me.", Jade explained to me as she started to tear.
"Well you are a brave little girl and your Mommies would be so proud of you. Do you know your last name baby girl?", I said then asked Jade as I lifted her into my lap to comfort her.
"Yes but I not supposed to say.", Jade said to me as she cuddled into me.
"It's okay to tell us Jade we won't let anyone hurt you.", Kara said as her and Lena walked into the room having heard the conversation between Jade and I.
"Danvers-Sawyer.", Jade said to me as I felt my heart drop.
"Are your Mommies Maggie and Alex?", Kara asked Jade who shook her head yes as she smiled at me.
"Good job pretty girl. You stay here and play we are going to do some test on your blood before we get lunch.", I said to Jade with a smile on my face as Lena, Kara, and I headed out of the room. "I think I'm gonna be sick.", I said as I started to have a panic attack.
"Al, breath. We have to figure out if she is telling the truth. We'll know once her blood work comes back.", Kara said to me as I sat on the floor trying to catch my breath.
"Kara, she's mine and Maggie's. Well not ours but an alternate realty version. She looks just like Maggie, she's even afraid of needles. We have to figure out why she was sent here.", I said to Kara.
"If she is indeed your child, and we figure out why she's here what if she has to stay here?", Kara asked me as she sat down next to me as Lena knelt in front of us.
"I don't know. I guess I'll have to tell Maggie. Though I doubt she'll want to help raise her. But I'll raise her, if she's a kid of my alternate self I am not going to abandon her.", I said to Kara and Lena.
"If Maggie doesn't want to be in your life because of that little girl she's foolish. But if it comes down to it we will help you with Jade like we are with Ruby.", Lena said to me which made me smile.
"Thanks.", I said to them both as I squeezed their hands.
"Now lets go test her blood.", Lena said to me as she helped me up off the floor with Kara's help too.
"How long does this usually take?", Kara asked Lena and I as we entered the lab. I know she's probably think of food right now but all I can think about is that I'm about to see if I'm becoming a mom. Which isn't all that bad I've always wanted to be a mom; I just wish I had a wife to share that with.
"Shouldn't take too long. I know you're hungry so is Jade. But I really need to know if she's mine.", I said to Kara as I placed Jade's blood into the DNA machine.
"That's not why I asked. Well okay it was partly my thinking but I also want to know if I'm becoming an Aunt or not.", Kara said with a smile on her face.
"I'm kind of excited my self to see if we are going to be Aunts as well. That little girl is adorable.", Lena said with a smile on her face as well.
"I'm excited but a little nervous too. If she is in fact Maggie's daughter and mine I have a lot to think about. Her Ruby and I can't stay in the two-bed room apartment we have now. I wouldn't make a twelve almost thirteen-year-old share a room with a three almost four year old.", I said to them as the computer started to process Jade's DNA.
"We'll figure everything out. How will you know if it's a match to yours?", Kara asked while she was looking at computer screen.
"Once I have her DNA in the computer I can compare it to our database to see if it's a match to anyone in our system. I'm in the system one because I work here and two because I got arrested before joining the DEO.", I said to Kara once Jade's DNA was fully up on the computer.
"Oh I forgot about that part.", Kara said which got me to giggle.
"You went to jail? That actually doesn't surprise me.", Lena said with a laugh to her voice as well.
"I may or may not have had a bad girl phase before J'onn recruited me. And by bad girl I mean like full on party until you drop no matter the time of day bad girl. Made a lot of bad decisions during that time. Almost robbed a bank too.", I said to them as Kara gasped not knowing all the details.
"Alex you almost robbed a bank? How did I not know about this?", Kara asked as she laughed.
"Mom doesn't even know, J'onn only knows because he made me tell him everything before he even thought of recruiting me.", I said to Kara with a smirk on my face.
"Damn I thought you were badass before, now I might be slightly afraid of you. Kara remind me to never piss your sister off.", Lena said to me which got all three of us to laugh.
"Wow a Luthor afraid of someone never though I'd see the day.", I said after we were done laughing which got us to go into another round of laughter. As our laughter died down the computer notified us that it was complete with a match to Jade's DNA. I am slightly afraid to look at the screen believe it or not. I know Alex Danvers afraid of a test result, but hey I am only human. "I can't look.", I said to the two of them as Kara and Lena looked at me.
"Yes you can, turn around and see if that is your daughter in the other room.", Kara said to me as she took my hand.
"No look for me.", I said to her as I closed my eyes.
"Al, you are going to like what it says, just look.", Kara said as her and Lena were looking at me with smiles on their faces. As I turned around I could tell my whole life was about to change.
"She's my daughter.", I said as I looked at the computer screen that was telling me I was a match to Jade's DNA.
"She's your daughter.", Kara said as she came next to me and side hugged me as Lena stood on the other side of me as I took her hand.
"I'm a mom.", I said to them as I started to tear.
"Yeah you are, just like you always wanted to be. Now go tell that little girl you know she's your daughter.", Kara said to me as we headed out of the door to go see Jade. When we got to the room Jade was happily talking to Doctor Hamilton.
"Look who's here? She's been asking about lunch for the last couple of minutes.", Doctor Hamilton said as Jade was smiling up at the three of us.
"We will be going to lunch very soon. Could we chat with Miss Jade here?", I said then asked Doctor Hamilton.
"Not a problem. Did her blood work come back?", Doctor Hamilton asked me as she was heading to the door.
"It did it's still up on the lab computer if you want to take a look.", I said to her with a smile on my face as she smiled back and left the room.
"You knows yous my Mommy now? Mommies says that you know afore anyone.", Jade asked me as she smiled up at me.
"Yes I know I'm your Mommy. Jade baby, do you know why your other Mommies sent you here?", I asked Jade as her and I sat down on the floor and started to build with Legos as Kara and Lena joined us.
"No they says bad people take our world. They send me here to live wifh you.", Jade said to me with a sad expression on her face.
"Jade sweetie, did your mommies get taken away from you or did the bad people hurt them?", Lena asked Jade with a warm expression on her face.
"Afored I left they hurted Mama, Mommy was tryin' to protect me. I no know what happen when I lefted.", Jade said with sadness in her voice.
"We'll figure that out little one I promise. You're going to stay here with Doctor Hamilton I have to go tell J'onn what's going on.", I said to Jade as I kissed her temple.
"Grandpa J'onn knows.", Jade said to me with smirk on her face.
"He read your mind didn't he?", I asked with a chuckle to my voice.
"Yeah.", Jade said as she giggled too as she played with the Legos.
