Awakening and feeling space around him was enough to indicate that he was not on the pod, but if so, where was he? He knew he had to discard Earth, he knew he had to do it, since living there for him was inconceivable, for he could not breathe under those conditions.
He opened his eyes confused, watching the room accurately, closing his eyes when he recognized it, but it could not be possible, he could not be in the infirmary of the DEO.
He breathed, this time deeply, before he opened his eyes again, smiling slightly as he identified a person at the door.
"Alex," he called, watching as she smiled slightly.
"The cure is effective for what I see," she said, approaching. "Can you breathe well?" she asked, which he nodded slightly, remembering the last time he had found himself there and the difficulties he had had to get air into his lungs. "I think we're going to administer it once at day until we're sure it works well," she pointed out to what he nodded, not quite sure what she was referring to, since he was only looking for someone who he had not found yet.
"Kara?" He asked wanting to sit up, being held back by Alex.
"It's okay, she's asleep, I didn't want to wake her until I didn't know it was working," she explained. "She doesn't know you're here, I wasn't going to create false delusions..., Mon-el, you've been out for nine months and there are some things which have changed" she looked at him, which made him frown, what was he referring to? "Can you wait a moment?" She asked.
He nodded slightly as she left the room, leaving him alone with his own thoughts, confused by the situation, what did it mean that things had changed? Had she turned the page and had forgotten him?
He shook his head, it could not be true, he couldn't believe that Kara had forgotten him so quickly, he didn't want to do it, and he knew that that might be the reason why she hadn't been there, with him.
"Hey, Mon-el, I think there's someone who wants to meet you," he heard Alex's voice, getting him to look at the door, noticing that she was carrying a baby in her arms. "I'll introduce you to Aiden, your son." She said making him curious about the new information "Do you want to hold him?" He asked, receiving his statement.
He held him in his arms as he watched him with precision, still surprised that this was true, rocking him gently as he watched him, beginning to feel the tears struggle to get out of his eyes.
He dared to caress the face of the little boy, who seemed not to be disturbed about it, noting how he moved his head to where he was holding his hand while opening his eyes, at which time he smiled through tears grabbing his little hand. He fell on the account of the suit that the little boy wore, was red with the symbol of the House of El on the left side in the chest area, with a small blue cape, which had something written, but he couldn't read it. He watched as the boy opened his mouth threatening to start crying at any moment.
"Hey, Aiden, it's daddy" he whispered in a calm voice, getting the child to look for him. "I'm sorry I couldn't have been here before, with your mommy, to see you born, little one," he said. "You know, I barely know you, but I adore you madly, seriously, you're one of the best things that could have happened to me, and I bet that for your mommy you are as well, although I hope that you didn't finish with her" he laughed watching as Aiden yawned closing his eyes. "I think he is tired" he commented looking at Alex.
"He didn't sleep at night," she said, approaching. "Read what it's write here," she asked, showing him the cape of the suit.
At that moment he could not hold back the tears, wanting to keep him closer, but holding back, since he didn't want to wake him.
"When will I be able to see Kara?" He asked. "I want to thank her for this gift." He smiled caressing his son's face.
"We can go now if you want" she offered him to what he nodded excitedly at the idea. "Let's go, I hold the little one" she said so he put him in her arms.
He walked with her to the room where the love of his life was, asleep, yes, she seemed to have no intention of waking up, but he had to try, seriously, he wanted to see those blue eyes again, that face of happiness that rarely gave way to sadness.
"Hey, Kara," he brushed her hair away from her face. "Sweetheart, it's time to wake up," he said, causing her to move in anger. "No, don't get angry and open your eyes." He stroked her cheek and got her to shake her head. "Then I'm leaving" he whispered in her ear to what she frowned. "Crinckle" he touched her forehead.
"Is Aiden crying? Is he hungry?" She asked, not opening her eyes.
"No, I don't think he's hungry," he replied, looking at Alex, who seemed to be holding her laughter. "Hey, Kara, do you remember that I told you that I wanted to wake up with you? This wasn't what I imagined, I thought my voice would wake you up," he said looking for a way to wake her.
"Let me sleep," she complained, covering her head with the pillow.
"Do you want me to leave?" He asked, but he did not get a reply, so he continued speaking. "You know, we should look for a second name for Aiden, What do you think about Karamel?" He asked, watching as she frowned again. "Aiden Karamel Matthews" he said at the same time she beated him. "Hey! I like it" he laughed.
"I'm not going to call my son the name of a dessert," she said, still with the pillow over her head.
"It's not a dessert, it's the combination of our names," he explained, pulling her pillow away before she rubbed her eyes as she stared at him.
He didn't have time to react the moment she sprang to embrace him, starting to cry, which made some tear escape his eyes even if he tried to contain them.
"Are you okay?" She grabbed his face to watch him.
"Better than ever," he dared to kiss her. "Thank you for the little one," he whispered, holding her close again.
"You're welcome, I suppose." She shrugged. "I love you, Mon-el, it's ... I can not believe you're here." She looked into his eyes.
"Comets," he whispered before smiling slightly. "So what do you say, Karamel?" He raised an eyebrow.
"It's our ship name, isn't it?" She asked, making him nod. "Then, of course," she smiled.
"Aiden Karamel Matthews," he whispered before kissing her again.
The arrival home with a baby was ... how could she describe it? Exhausting, but in turn, precious, for every second she spent with her child was a treasure, and even more so when she remembered who had returned.
She smiled as she placed her hand in Mon-el's hair, stroking it gently, not wanting to wake him, even though he was the only one asleep, since she and the little one had become accustomed to nightlife, something that couldn't have been avoided, since Aiden demanded more of her than of him, although it had to be recognized that the little boy used to fall asleep much faster if he was in his father's arms.
She left the child in the crib before she laid down again, making an attempt to fall asleep, without actually getting it, feeling as Mon-el stretched his arm around her waist before kissing her hair, which made her smile again, it seemed that not only they lived at night, but so did he. She grabbed his hand as she closed her eyes again, getting to sleep in his arms.
However, it was only a couple of hours after when Aiden's crying started, demanding attention from them, but she was too tired to get up, so she waited for Mon-el to do so, surprising herself when he patted her shoulder to wake her up.
"Kara, honey," he whispered in her ear.
"No, it's your turn, Mon-el," she complained.
"But what if he's hungry?" He asked, genuinely worried about it.
"You tell me, but I can assure you that this isn't what happens to him," she replied, feeling him pull away from her to get up, approaching the crib with secrecy, as if he were bothering not to make a noise so as not to wake those who would continue to sleep, but if she was sincere, all three were awake. "Why are walking you like that? You know I can hear you anyway, don't you? "She asked with a laugh, but eventually she heard his.
"Umm, yes, you were right, not hungry," he said. "Can you tell me what your mother gives you to eat?" He asked with a half smile, his gaze fixed on her, which she could not do otherwise that she squint her eyes. "You are already, little one" he said as he rocked him again until he fell asleep again.
"What time is it?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Half past five," he responded to what she snorted, closing her eyes, trying to fall asleep again, but no, there was something that prevented her. "I think you didn't like my answer," said Mon-el once he was back at his side, stretching his arms toward her to embrace her, placing her on his chest.
She placed her hand on his chest, smiling lightly before giving way to tears, beginning to cry without being able to control it, feeling as he hugged her tightly in an attempt to calm her, but realizing that it was not effective, placed his hand on her face, wiping away his tears.
"I've missed you so much, Mon-el" she sobbed, embracing him even more." I've dreamed so many times about having you back here. "She looked at him.
"I'm with you and I promise that there is nothing that can separate us, because I will not leave you again, Kara" he lifted her chin. "Now, try to sleep, okay?" He kissed her forehead.
"As long as you're here when I wake up," she said, smiling at him.
"Always," he assured her, making her smile before she finally closed her eyes.
Hi! I think this is one of my favourite chapters, because there is KARAMEL, (seriously I need Karamel in season 3). Mon-el is so cute with Aiden, right? They're going to be such a good parents.
What do you think about the baby's name? I think is cute calling him with his parents ship name.
I hope you like this chapter, have a nice week and thanks for reading,
Ayrin
