Kara arrived with Maggie around twenty minutes later. Even once she had landed, Kara couldn't bring herself to go into the med bay. Motherhood terrified Kara because she knew more than anyone that her life could be changed in an instant and she didn't want that, not for her child. She wanted to be the perfect mom.

Maggie watched Kara walking around, and she felt a little sorry for her. The way Kara rubbed her hands together, and looked at the floor. She could tell it was fear. She slowly walked over and stopped Kara where she was. Kara refused to meet her brown eyes and her warm smile, god, some things never changed.

"Little Danvers." She said softly, trying to meet Kara's blue eyes with her own.

"I can't do it Maggie, my life is messed up as it is and this could be what Lilian wanted. Our baby." Kara said, worry clear in her voice.

"Your baby will have protection, I can promise you that. Your child will come to no harm." Maggie said softly to her with sincerity in her tone. Kara swallowed the lump in her throat as J'onn walked into the command centre from the med bay. Kara looked up slowly and over Maggie's shoulder. Maggie turned around as Kara stood, stuck to where she was.

"Is she-" Kara began.

"She's waiting for you. She is fine." J'onn said with a small smile on his face, with his arms crossed, "You should see her, she is wondering where you are. She wants you to scan the baby."

Kara stay where she was, her emotions not changing. She was so scared.

So scared.

Maggie turned to her, and then back to J'onn, "Can you give us a moment please J'onn?"

"Of course." He said softly, understanding why Kara was concerned. He then left her and Maggie alone to talk. Maggie turned back to Kara, "Motherhood, you can do it Kara, you are more than capable. You need to step up, because they are on their way and you're not ready, of course you're not. No one ever is, but if anyone can do this, it's you."

Kara laughed nervously, "It's like you've done this before."

Maggie only pulled away slightly, and went quiet for a moment. Kara figured something out, "Maggie..." She breathed, "Did you?"

"No, it wasn't my child, look. The point is, you can do this. Promise me."

"I promise." Kara swore. She was now wondering about what else Maggie hadn't told anyone about herself growing up.

"Good." Maggie sighed, with relief in her voice. The Kryptonian's eyes now met hers.

"I'm gonna be a mom." Kara smiled, letting out a deep breath.

"You're gonna be a mom." Maggie smiled, holding back tears, "Now go to her. Go to your wife." The smile on Kara's face could light up the whole room, it could be compared to when she first saved Alex's flight to Geneva from crashing into the city. Maggie hadn't seen her this happy in years, maybe the last time was her wedding day. All Maggie knew, is that she was happy that Supergirl was able to get the life she'd always wanted, even though it was a slightly bit different than she'd first imagined. As Maggie watched Kara leave, she stood straight and looked back on her youth, having to raise a baby for a short while. That was another trauma that she had never talked about. Buried and forgotten, until now.


"Hey, here you are." Lena smiled, when she saw Kara walking into the med bay. She was already lying down, preparing for the birth. The truth is, no one knew how quick this delivery would be providing the nature of this child not being purely human. Kara was already forcing back tears, but they were tears of happiness. Lena put her hand on Kara's cheek as she sat down, "Hey." She said with a small laugh, "I should be the one crying, not you."

"I know." She admitted, "But I have been so terrified, and now it's here...I just...I truly don't know what to do with myself."

"We will figure it out together. You know that." She smiled, "Truth be told, I've been terrified too. But J'onn has reassured me that our baby will be safe at all times." Lena then looked into Kara's eyes, and she saw the fear behind them, "We will be okay. The three of us." She said sternly, holding her hand to her stomach which contained their soon to be bundle of joy, "Anyway." she frowned, "You, mommy...You need to scan our baby to see how they are doing in there."

Kara chuckled, and listened for the heartbeat, "The heartbeat is fine."

"And the rest?" Lena questioned, jokingly. Kara's smile only grew as she used her x-ray vision to look inside the baby's current place of dwelling, "Well." She smiled after viewing inside, "They certainly are snuggly."

"Ugh." Lena said sarcastically.

"Normal labor for you missy." Kara joked.

"Well, Mrs Luthor-Zor-El." Lena said with sarcasm, as before, "God help our child when they get their last name."

"Ah, but in public, our last name's are Danvers." Kara said pointedly.

"Good point. It's not too bad." Lena smiled, "Anyway...We need to think of baby names."

"Why did we not do this a year ago?" Kara asked with sarcasm in her tone, as Lena raised her eyebrows, "We have been very busy."

"So, girl names?" Kara began.

Lena spent a few minutes thinking, "Alura, after your mom." Kara then put her hand on her chest where her heart was. Tears of happiness filled her eyes once again, "That's beautiful."

"As for a boy's name..." Lena began, "Why don't you choose that one?"

Kara took a breath, "Ooh, I don't know...J'onn, maybe?" Kara then looked up at J'onn himself, and the look on his face was soft. He was very honored to have their child named after him.

"Wouldn't that get confusing, supergirl?"

"Maybe." She shrugged. She took a hold of Lena's hand, before the monitors started to bleep like crazy.

"Contractions are beginning." Dr Hamilton announced, "Lena, they are on their way. Lena squeezed Kara's hand. She was truly terrified, the look on her face said a thousand words. Kara only squeezed her hand in return, "You can do this Lena. This is the scariest thing we have ever done, but like you said before, we do this together."

"Together." Lena said with a shaky voice.

The pair stuck together throughout, everytime Lena felt a contraction, Kara was there.

Maggie was stood at the door, outside. She was watching and she had a flashback.

*FLASHBACK*

"Come on, you can do this. One last push and you can do this." A young Maggie was in her friend's living room. The only friend she had at the time after being outed, "Come on Shay...You can do this."

"There's lot's of blood!" The young woman gasped, "Maggie, I can't do this."

"Yes you can, yes you can!" Maggie urged her, terrified but she promised not to tell anyone.

"When she is born, you keep her!"

"What are you talking about?!" disbelief was clear in her tone, "Shay, you are gonna make it through this. You are not giving up on me!"

"Hide the baby, do anything. Just don't let anyone take her." One final push was all it took, before the young woman fell unconscious.

"She's here. She's- Shay..." Maggie looked over in horror, "No, Shay. Shay!" Here Maggie was, holding a baby. Her friend had just bled to death. Maggie stood up and ran to the phone.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"My friend.." Maggie gasped. Forcing back tears as she held baby in one arm and the phone in the other, "She had a baby...and she died..."

"Can you tell me where you are?"

"I..." Maggie began, and gave the address. She considered staying and handing the baby over, but it felt wrong. She made off and over the next few months, she used whatever lunch money she had to buy various baby essentials. Her aunt didn't care because she was hardly around. When Maggie realized the couldn't provide for this tiny human, she handed the baby over to social services and even though it broke her heart, she did it for both her and the child's own good.

*PRESENT DAY*

Maggie swallowed the lump in her throat, and snapped out of her trance when she heard words that made her stomach curdle.

"There's blood!" Kara gasped. Lena was now close to unconsciousness. Maggie bolted to life and came into the room, "Kara, if anyone knows how to fix this, it's Alex."

"No." J'onn growled. Maggie crouched to look at where the blood was coming from, "None of you know how to deliver a child! The last time I did, the mother died! Get Alex now!"

There was silence, and then J'onn gave in, "Get her." He said to one of the other agents. They walked away and went to get her.

"You need to go!" J'onn ordered Maggie.

"IF SHE HAS BEEN PROVEN INNOCENT, SHE SHOULD BE FREE ANYWAY!" Maggie shouted. At this, J'onn returned his attention back to Kara and Lena.

"How bad is it Kara?" He asked. Kara used her X-Ray vision, "She's not in a good position."

"She?" Lena gasped, breathlessly, drenched in sweat. Kara cursed herself internally, "Sorry."

"No, no, don't be. It's perfect." Lena smiled. Kara was only able to smile because of Lena in this situation, "We have a baby girl."

"Okay, so what is the main-" Alex began as she walked into the room. She didn't notice Maggie at first, when she got straight to business, putting gloves on and bending down to see what was going on, "Kara, what have you found?"

"I'm not the doctor." Kara sighed.

"Okay, that's useful." Alex sighed, "Lena, are you in pain right now?" Lena merely nodded. "Crap." Alex muttered.

"What?" Kara, Lena and Maggie gasped in unison.

"She will need a cesarean section. Now. I need you to leave Kara. I need everyone to go." Alex sighed and stood again, "I'm not asking again Kara-" She said sternly. As she turned, she noticed Maggie for the first time. She froze.

So many questions ran through Alex's head, but right now she didn't have time. Her dark eyes, however locked onto Maggie's. It had been the first time in ten years the pair had seen each other. One thinking the other was gone. But the looks the eyes shared were completely different. Alex's appeared darker and less trusting whereas Maggie's were full of longing and warmth.

"You need to go." Alex said coldly, but it wasn't just aimed at Maggie, it was aimed at Kara.


As Kara and Maggie were sat outside waiting, Maggie sat there thinking about the Alex she had just seen. She didn't recognize her at all. The warmth in her eyes was gone. "She's aged." Was all Maggie said, within the silence. Kara looked up, "Human's do that." Kara was clearly not in the mood. She swiftly changed the topic however, "When you were in there...You said something about the last time you delivered a baby, the mom died...what happened Maggie?" She asked softly.

"I don't wanna talk about it."

"I will be sat here worrying about my wife and my child if you don't." She said with a small smile.

Maggie gave in, "When I was living with my aunt...My friend, the only one I had after being outed...she was pregnant...She then went into labor and like Lena, she was bleeding...I delivered her baby, but she lost too much blood." She then shrugged, "She died. We kind of agreed that i'd not let her kid go into care and so...I went hungry for a few months at school, just to feed this baby. I then decided that I couldn't keep going hungry, so I handed her over...It broke my heart." She sighed, holding back tears.

"Oh Maggie." Kara sighed and hugged her.

"Watching you and Lena, it just brought it all back."

"Listen, Lena was gonna tell you this...But." Kara began, "We want you to be Alura's God Mother."

"Seriously?" Maggie gasped in disbelief as more tears came to the surface.

Kara nodded with a smile, "Yep."

"Oh my-Thank you so much!" She gasped, and held Kara tighter.

"You're welcome. But Now we have to focus on our family."

"Of course we do. Thank you Kara."

"You were family a long time ago. Family stick together." She smiled.

The pair sat in a peaceful, but anxious silence for the rest of the time and as Maggie began to fall asleep there were sudden cries coming from across the hall.

Cries from a baby.

Tears instantly stung Kara's eyes, but a smile, bright as the sun spread across her face.

Maggie smiled as she sat up and looked at Kara.

"Welcome to Earth, Alura." Was all Kara said as she sat up, listening to her little baby girl's cries.
