Chapter 2: Old friend

"Why do I suddenly feel left out?"

Seconds later, they finally managed to break eye contact and turn around to face Winn. Kara said awkwardly "Yeah-yeah… uhh, sorry Winn, it was just… do I smell something burning?"
She turned to find Mon-El staring at her, then when he realized what she said, his eyes widened and he quickly ran to the kitchen "Crap crap crap crap…"

He opened the oven and took out something that maybe was food?

"Uhh… what's that?" Kara asked

"That was supposed to be some shrimp pasta with creamy tomato basil sauce, but I think I got carried away and forgot about it." Mon-El said disappointed.

"Wait, you cook?" she asked with wide eyes and a smile on her face. Winn answered quickly "Yeah! He's a great cook! But now we have nothing for lunch!"

"You know we can just order some food" Mon-El said after he threw the burned food away. "Ok let's take a vote. I say let's get some Italian." Winn said.

"I love Italian Winn but I ate some yesterday, can we get something else like uhh… Chinese!" "Chinese!" Kara and Mon-El screamed at the same time.

Winn signed "Ok Chinese it is." and went to make the order. So Kara and Mon-El were alone. Again. They stood there in silence before Kara spoke "So, how do you know Winn?"

"We were best friends in school but then I had to leave to Metropolis with my family and he was a little upset about that but then we figured it out and I got back in National City three months ago."

"Wow. I met him in college and we immediately bonded, he's a good guy."

"Yeah he told me about you, he never told me your name but he said… well you know that he had a crush on you for a while, right?" She nodded so he continued "Yeah so he told me that you look like an angel with blue eyes."

"But how do you know he was talking about me not some other girl?"

He blushed and said shyly "Well-uhh, you do look like an angel with blue eyes so…"

She felt her heart racing at that, she smiled shyly, tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and bit her bottom lip.

"I'm pregnant" she said, annoyance and anger in her voice.

He stared at her. Blinked. Continued staring.

After what it felt like hours he finally asked "What?"

"I'm pregnant you dumbass!" she yelled at him "Because of you! Because of you I have to carry-" she continued yelling but he wasn't listening anymore.

'I'm pregnant'. Just thinking of those words made his heart pound, and he wasn't sure if she was still yelling but he just…couldn't believe it.

"How did that happen" he interrupted her.

She raised her eyebrows "How did that happen? Why don't you go back to third grade? Maybe you'll learn there." She said sarcastically.

"No Imra, I'm serious, how did this happen?"

"You brought a shitty condom Mon-El! That is how we got into this mess!" she started yelling. Again.

His head was spinning. They met at the club. Kissed a little and that led into their first date… Four months of dating and there he is, about to become a father. He couldn't breathe. He is about to become a father. He was only twenty years old! And he hasn't even finished college yet! How is he going to take care of a baby? Well, thank god he's not in this alone.

She was still yelling when he spoke "I-I have to go to college but it's good that you're not in college so you can take care of-"

She didn't let him finish and said "OH no no no no Mon-El, I'm not taking care of this baby. I'm going to carry him in my belly for nine months, give birth to him and then he's all yours."

After a few seconds he asked shock and disappointment in his eyes "You're just going to abandon you own child like that?"

"Look, Mon-El… I don't want to leave him- or her, but I didn't want him either. And I can't take care of him. So either you take him, or I'll go to the doctor and fix my mistake."

Her mistake? Yes, having this baby wasn't planned -especially since they've only been together for four months- but did she really think it was a mistake?

He had no choice, she was not worthy of being the mom of his kid, and he was definitely not going to just kill his own child like that, so he had to agree to her offer.

Now

They sat down in Winn's living room eating. The kids already finished and ran back to the room to continue whatever it is they were doing, but they seem to really like each other, and that made Kara and Mon-El happy to see their children playing with someone else of their age.

Kara was basically inhaling those potstickers and couldn't talk so the other two boys started telling her old stories about each other, and they were some crazy kids: Like that one time Winn went to Mon-El's home at the village. They brought some plastic 'guns' and started to enter to the neighbors houses and shoot on them and then run. Who would've thought Winn was like that?

They seem like they were really good friends. They kept talking and laughing out loud. Kara couldn't remember the last time she laughed this hard.

Then there was a knock on the door. Winn got open to open and find Alex and Sara. "Hey Winn, sorry we're late we just- Oh helloo… who is this cutie?" she asked looking at the tall handsome young man standing in front of her. He laughed shook her hand "Mike, but you can call me Mon-El, pleasure to meet you…" "Alex! And this is my girlfriend Sara."

Sara shook his hand. "You're hot" was the only words she said before she started eating the remaining food. They sat down and Alex started questioning him "So, Mon-El, you have a girlfriend?"

Kara's eyes widen at that. That was when Kai and Eve came running to the room.

5 years ago

The day is finally here. They were in the hospital and Mon-El was standing next to Imra who is about to give birth, and she was yelling as usual:

"I HATE YOU! YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON EVER! HOW DID YOU AND I EVEN END UP TOGETHER?! I'M SOO GLAD WE BROKE UP! YOU PIECE OF TRASH LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!"

Mon-El felt the doctor come near to him "They all say that right now. Don't worry she doesn't mean any of that." he said trying to calm him down.

'Wouldn't be so sure about that' Mon-El couldn't help but think.

After eight hours of hearing constant swearing and yelling, he was hearing now the cries of a baby. It's a boy! The moment he held him in his arms, the whole world stopped. Like it was just the two of them in the world. Tears filled his eyes because he thought he will feel weak and overwhelmed, but it's quite the opposite: he felt strong and-and unbreakable and just…happy.

"Hello baby Kai." he said looking at the mini version of himself. Kai. That's his name. Kai means happy, strong and unbreakable, and that is what he was feeling because of his son. Imra thought this baby was a mistake? She couldn't be more wrong.

Now

"Mommy! Mommy! Who is better? Supergirl or Valor?" Eve asked.

"Valor!" immediately screamed Kai.

"No! I love Valor but Supergirl is stronger than him!"

"Well technically, they're equally strong" Winn said. But then when he saw Eve's deadly glare he immediately regretted it and took it back.

"Guys, they're both great. They're both heroes who went through a lot. Doesn't matter who is better." Kara calmly said.

"Kai, did you say hi to Alex?" Mon-El asked his son.

Kai came close to Alex and introduced himself "Hi. My name is Kai Matthews. I'm my dad's son. I'm five and you would absolutely love me because everyone loves me. Nice to meet you Ma'am." Alex looked at him with wide eyes trying to hold back her laughter. "Hey" she said "I'm Alex, who is your dad exactly?" He turned around and pointed a finger at Mon-El and Alex almost chocked on her food.

He is his dad? That cute young man was a dad?

"You?" was all she managed to say.

He smiled a small sad smile and nodded "Single parent"

"Wow! Can I ask what happened?"

That was Kara interrupted her "ALEX!"

"No, no Kara it's okay."

"No seriously you don't have to do this. Not right now."

There was an awkward silence that broke when Sara decided to talk "This chicken is so good-like seriously…"

12 hours ago

Mon-El was sitting on his couch, writing his novel, when he felt his son's little hands hitting his head. "Daddy? Are we still going to my soccer practice next week?"

"Yeah Kai we are, I promised you we will so we will, okay?"

"Okay… Daddy?" Mon-El signed and closed his laptop to look at Kai.

"I'm hungry" he said. "You just ate a sandwich fifteen minutes ago!"

Kai stopped when he felt something cold on his feet. He looked down to see some-water? Mon-El immediately jumped on his feet and ran to see why there was water all over the apartment. He opened the bathroom's door to see the tap open, he quickly closed it and yelled "KKKAAAAAIIIII?! DID YOU LEAVE THE TAP OPEN?"

Kai slowly came and gave the cutest puppy eyes "No?"

Mon-El signed and shook his head. The whole apartment was covered now in water. They can't sleep here and they can't call someone to help them at 10 pm.

He had no choice. He had to stay somewhere. So he called his only true friend.

"Hello?"

"Hey Winn. Sorry for bothering you at this time"

"No no you didn't! How are you buddy?"

"I'm good- actually no I'm not, uhh… I need a huge favor!"

"Yeah ask anything dude"

"So my place is basically kinda drowning right now, so can Kai and I stay with you for a couple of days?"

"Yeah sure Mon! Kai and I fit on the bed but you have to sleep on the couch…"

"Yeah yeah absolutely! No problem! Thanks man, I really appreciate that."

"Yeah of course. You're family after all"

"Thank you. I'll be there in 45 minutes. See ya."
