Day 120
Sitting around wasn't that easy on her. In the past she had hardly stopped,always doing something either for Cat or as Supergirl. But she had gotten used. The days were passing by,her health was improving,and all the aches were gone. It was admittedly still hard on her bones,but with this problem to be solved pretty soon,the outcome looked as good as it could've. The penthouse was a pretty relaxing place. It could get crowded at times,with domestics,then the visits from their friends,but it was pretty interesting to just stop and look at what the others did.
It was a quiet day the whole morning,as she had begged Cat to just go to work.
The media mogul had put a lot of it aside,but Kara wanted her to do something she would do everyday. Take her mind off things,and how it had gone the first time.
They were however erasing some of the hardest days of their lives,and Kara was happy to know she wasn't going anywhere.
Day 130
Ten days had gone by pretty quickly. Kara had taken all the time to rest at home,and she was feeling stronger than ever. This was a particular day on them all,that she woke up in her now assigned room at the DEO,remembering how cold she had felt. It was as if she had lost all the control on her body,and could do nothing but watch as her life went and Cat had to face it. After all they had faced together. So when she woke up on that morning,to repeat it,it was wonderful to find out that all she was supposed to do now,was undergoing the 3rd of the 4th surgeries needed to make her better. It might have seemed crazy,and Winn,James and Lucy were looking at her as if she were,but Kara couldn't keep the euphoria away. It was a day of life and not of death.
"What's with the faces?"
"You're going into surgery. "
"Yes I am,it's pretty good"
"Kara"
They were breaking the surgery in two,just out of safety,but wasn't it just the coolest thing?
She watched Cat look interestingly at her.
A comfortable silence had fallen between them,as their friends kept on talking about the surgery,and putting in their opinions.
There was just this something. It made everything look and sound like the best day of their lives,though they didn't even know why.
Now Kara knew that her wife couldn't possibly know,but she felt as if something was supposed to happen and they weren't remembering it. It was something she had said to her,on her last day,something she had glanced at while up there,but she spent a good 30 minutes scavenging her mind over what they were supposed to know.
They came in to prep her soon enough.
She said goodbye to the others in the room and let Cat and this time even Carter walk her down to the OR,hand in hand with them.
When they had to let go,and she was about to fall asleep,her mind sparked back the memory of a blonde child with big blue doe eyes.
She didn't count this time,the only thing she could think about was that child and the only word comin out of her mouth was her name
"Alex"
Day 134
Cat had sat with Kara for a good part of the first day,but throughout the next three she had started feeling the way she had felt when she had been pregnant with Carter. Now she didn't know how this worked,but she was pretty sure,that if they had been the normal couple this wouldn't have genetically happened.
Hank had had her take a visit and the outcome she had already thought about had been confirmed.
According to the doctor,it could actually happen,but she would've had to ask Kara about more of it.
Such news,for however odd it could be found to be,was the best news since they had married and found a cure for what her wife had. And she couldn't wait to tell Kara,maybe ask her if she had….
If she had known before leaving,because Kara had told her when things had come to an end the first time around. Cat couldn't even bring herself to imagine a time in which she had had to raise this kid all by herself,and yet accordingly to the story,she had actually had to,once.
Cat wasn't even aware of how she had carried on,not of this,nor of how she had possibly done it if their child had actually looked like Kara.
She knew however why such a silent agreement had settled between them a few days ago,before Kara got prepped and taken away for surgery. They had both implicitly known,felt it.
A mini them was growing into her.
Kara's ears rung for a few seconds,before everybody knowing she had aids just quitened down,seeing as she was wakin up.
"It went well. They might not be able to reach the spine,since it's full of those little kryptonite cells. But they fixed some minor fractures,and gave you a stronger dose of the pharmac. Nothing more they could do,but it will act out like usual cancer. Your body will take care of those"
"Am I better?"
"Dr. Hamilton is hopeful that soon you'll be okay"
She drew a breath of relief and let her head rest on the pillow for a minute. Kara had waited for this moment for a long time. Asides from the last surgery which was mostly injections and similar things,she was well on her way to mend.
"They said you might have to take the pharmac for a long time,after it,maybe the rest of your life. But as far as this is concerned. Just like a normal cancer you're in remission."
Lucy and James left the room with smiles she could perceive on their faces,while Winn patted her shoulder and brought out Cat to continue their heated conversation over something Kara had no knowledge about. Probably games.
"You had me worried in there for three days"
"That's my job. But I'm getting better at it."
"You've been doing great lately,which is why I brought you a treat"
She walked to a cart and came back with a box of donuts.
Kara felt it and recognized it pretty quickly"Donuts?Oh my gosh I haven't had them in so long. I didn't even feel like eating."
"Ah sit still missy. You'll have to wait for a bit,at last till tomorrow,for solid"
She brought it out of her reach,but Kara managed to grab it from her,laughing.
"Alright you won,and you're the one who doesn't see here"
Kara smiled up at her again then focused on opening the box. She had gotten pretty skilled after two weeks of darkness. Such foods she had let go of for a very long time. Had had to. The sooner she got back to them the better.
When she opened the box however all she found was the littlest donut she had ever seen. Kara sat the box aside,and inspected it by touch.
"It's so tiny and cute. I mean like supermini"
"Well..supermini it is for now"
"Wait up…"
She turned around and for once Cat felt as if Kara could see her,because she was looking straight at her though she knew that wasn't possible right now.
"It's happening?I was right?Are you…?"
"If you mean:is there a supermini me into you Cat?Then yes it's true,there's. I had thought about potstickers but it didn't look so practical."
It was clear from Kara's face that there hadn't been such occurance last time. Kara hadn't had the time to hear the news.
"Wow…wow…when I was going in I remembered,then you told me…We're going to be parents…again. Wow"
The smiles splitting their faces were even bigger than the ones on the day they had married.
This second chance was the most beautiful,between the ones they had been given,as Kara's hand rested in the place where a belly would've soon grown.
