Chapter 10
"We should do this more often," Ruby said as she eyed her banana split.
"Absolutely," Kara agreed stuffing her mouth with ice cream and getting comfortable on her couch next to Lena. The plan had been to go to an ice cream parlor but given that Eliza wanted answers to some sensitive questions they had chosen Kara's apartment to meet up. Lena and Ruby had been picked up by Alex, Sam and Eliza while Kara had gone to get the ice cream at 'the best parlor' in the world.
"Kara," Eliza said the warning clear in her voice.
"Sorry I got hungry," Kara mumbled sheepishly making Lena smile at her.
"You're worse than a kid," Alex said looking from Kara to Ruby.
"Better hope I'm worse than your kid Alex," Kara said grinning. "After all he or she will be half Kryptonian," Kara continued.
"Ruby is half Kryptonian and she has manners," Alex pointed out making Kara pout and Ruby smile proudly. Sam just shook her head at their antics.
"Girls you both have no manners when it comes to food so it's not because of heritage. I guess it will be up to Sam and me to teach my grandson or granddaughter some manners," Eliza said having warmed up to Sam a little after having met Ruby.
"Mom if it's not in our nature than it has to be because our nurture and the parent who raised us both would be you," Alex said grinning.
"Yeah it's your fault," Kara was quick to agree making Eliza sigh.
"So how long are you here for?" Kara asked Eliza changing the subject.
"Well after I found out I didn't really make much of a plan I just booked a plane ticket and came here. I was hoping to stay with one of you," Eliza said knowing both her daughters hadn't counted on that. She could see that Kara and Lena meant something more to each other than just friends and could imagine that Kara wanted her privacy. She could stay at Alex's apartment but she knew her daughter only had one bed and not that much space. Plus it was obvious that Alex and Sam needed to have a very serious and private conversation soon.
Kara shared a semi-panicked look with Lena and said: "You should stay with Alex then. After all she's the reason why you came down here in the first place."
"Kara, I only have one bed. Where do you suggest mom sleeps?" Alex replied exasperated.
"I don't know? On the couch? Next to you? I'm not the one that got pregnant," Kara said.
"I feel so welcome," Eliza said smiling. "Don't worry girls. I booked a hotel and will be staying for the week. J'onn also asked me to help out a little at the lab because Alex isn't allowed near any Kryptonian substances.
"It's not that you're not welcome," Kara backtracked. "It's just that…"
"You want the alone time with your girlfriend?" Eliza said smiling knowingly at Kara and Lena.
Lena blushed, Kara's eyes went wide and Alex started laughing which made Sam and Ruby smile as well.
"I guess you're busted Kara," Alex said still grinning.
"You're not off the hook yet either Alex. I still want to know how all this came to be," Eliza replied pointing between Alex and Sam making the latter wish the ground would swallow her up.
"I still want to know who told you before I could as well," Alex said her eyes narrowing. "Besides I can't really tell you how this came to be because I truly don't know. One minute I get kidnapped and poisoned. The next I'm rescued and forced to rest. Then I'm sick and throwing up for about two weeks and then I find out I'm pregnant without having done anything that could lead to a pregnancy," Alex said.
"And how did you find out that Sam here is the other parent?" Eliza asked.
"The doctor before the one we have now did some tests and because the DEO has some dna samples of different Kryptonians he linked the dna he found during my tests to Sam," Alex replied.
"So the aliens that kidnapped you might have done something to you?" Eliza asked worriedly.
"I don't think so," Alex replied slowly. "I mean I can't remember them having any kind of equipment to do something like this. Kara didn't see anything either when she came to my rescue and besides how would Sam's dna have gotten into the mix? She wasn't kidnapped."
"I have a theory," Kara spoke up.
"Not this again Kara," Alex sighed.
"What it's a completely plausible theory," Kara argued.
"It's not even remotely plausible," Alex replied.
"What? What's your theory?" Eliza asked and Sam sat up as well curious about what Kara's thoughts about all this were.
"Well when she was kidnapped and poisoned Alex had some sort of dream but I don't think it really was a dream. She dreamt of Rao and apparently Rao spoke of giving Alex a gift. One of her heart's desires and well Alex wants to become a mom so I think Alex was visited by Rao and that the baby was a gift from him," Kara explained.
"That is so cool," Ruby spoke up.
"And very farfetched," Alex said.
"Just because you don't believe it's possible doesn't mean it couldn't be true," Kara interjected. "Besides what other explanation do you have?"
"None but that doesn't mean that your explanation is the right one."
"It does sound a little farfetched dear," Eliza interjected.
"I know but on Krypton raising baby's was considered a gift from Rao and I really do think that's how it happened."
"That doesn't explain why my dna was added into the mix though," Sam spoke up quietly.
"Rao is a Kryptonian God. You're Kryptonian," Kara shrugged. "It's not like he could have used my dna because that's just creepy and using dna from one of the fort Rozz inmates wouldn't really have been a gift so I'm thinking you were the best option," Kara replied thinking to herself that she knew of other reasons to use Sam's dna. The two brunettes would be great together as moms and would make a really beautiful couple if they ever got their heads out of their asses that is.
"I still think that that's not what happened," Alex spoke up. "But in the end it doesn't really matter because I'm keeping him or her no matter what," she added making everyone smile.
"You're right. He or she will be loved no matter how they came to be," Kara said smiling.
"So Kara tell me how long have you and Lena been dating?" Eliza asked making Kara groan. She had hoped her mother had forgotten about that.
"Not that long," Kara mumbled.
"I would hope not," Eliza said sternly after which she turned to Lena and said: "Not that you're not lovely because you are but I would have hoped Kara would have told me if you had been dating for a while."
"It's okay I understand," Lena said kindly relieved Eliza didn't dislike her. "And we haven't been together that long. Kara hasn't even told Alex."
"Not that she needed to," Alex mumbled. "She couldn't have been any more obvious."
Kara opened her mouth to tell her sister that she wasn't much better but closed her mouth again when Lena shot her a warning look.
A while later Alex and Ruby were watching a tv show on the couch while Sam and Lena went over some business at the table. Kara and Eliza were busy in the kitchen washing the plates they had used for the ice cream.
"So what's really going on between Alex and Sam?" Eliza asked as she washed the dishes.
"Well according to Alex exactly what she told you," Kara replied trying to avoid discussing the subject further but already knowing it was pointless with Eliza.
"And according to you?" Eliza asked.
"I'm pretty sure Alex has a massive crush on Sam without realizing it," Kara replied. "And from what I've seen Sam seems to have feelings for Alex but I'm pretty sure she realizes it."
"And now Alex is expecting Sam's baby?" Eliza asked.
Kara nodded and said: "Yes just another reason why I think this is a gift from Rao. Given that they have feelings for each other who better to have the baby with."
"And we're sure Sam didn't do anything to cause this?" Eliza asked.
"We're sure mom. Sam isn't like that. She's our friend."
Eliza nodded and said: "Well I'm curious how they're going to work out raising a baby together with so many unknown feelings between them."
"Aren't we all," Kara mumbled.
"Alright we're done," Eliza said as she joined the others in the living room.
"Great," Alex responded. "Now you can tell me who told you I was pregnant."
"Well," Eliza hesitated. "I'm not sure I should. I mean you're obviously somewhat angry and I'm sure he didn't mean to."
"He? J'onn? No J'onn would never. The doctor? But he doesn't even know you. Plus you wouldn't care if he was in trouble with me. The only other guy who knows is … Winn!"
"Alex I'm sure he didn't mean to," Eliza said knowing her daughter's temper.
"Well I promise that I'll mean everything I'll do to him," Alex said threateningly.
"Winn's our friend Alex. You're not allowed to kill or maim or friend okay?" Kara said calmly.
"Fine," Alex gave in thinking about what she was going to do to him.
"You realize she's still going to get back at Winn?" Lena asked quietly.
"Off course," Kara replied nonplussed. "She's allowed. I had wanted to be there when Eliza found out the news. She's just not allowed to kill or maim him cause he's still our friend even if he has a big mouth." Kara continued winking at Alex who grinned.
"Remind me to never mess with you two," Sam said.
"You better not mess with anyone you got my daughter pregnant you can stick around for the duration," Eliza said sternly making Sam gulp and Ruby's eyes widened as she eyed the both of them. Then Eliza lost control and started laughing. "I'm sorry I couldn't resist. You're still so on edge around me I love it. Finally someone to intimidate."
"Oh please mom. Like there aren't other people intimidated by you," Alex interjected. "Besides for the hundred time Sam didn't get me pregnant. I promise she never did anything to me that could come close."
"Careful you're starting to sound like you want her to," Kara joked getting a pillow in the face from Alex in return.
"I don't even know what to say to that," Alex said blushing. "I'm sorry for surrounding you with the crazy women in my family," she said to Sam.
"It's okay," Sam said. "I might have inadvertently added to the crazy women in your family," Sam said smiling enjoying Alex's blush and looking at her still flat stomach.
"You think it might be a girl?" Alex asked smiling with a hand on her stomach.
"It would be a nice addition," Sam replied.
"She or he will be a nice addition either way," Alex said grinning at Sam squeezing her shoulder and sticking her tongue out to a grinning Kara.
"All right ladies I think it's time for me to go to my hotel. I'll see you both at the DEO tomorrow," Eliza said to Alex and Kara. "It was really nice to meet you three," she said to Ruby, Sam and Lena. "We should do dinner tomorrow."
"Oh I'm pretty sure they'll both be too busy," Kara said knowing her girlfriend and Sam spent long hours at the office lately.
"No no, we'll make it," Lena interjected squeezing Kara's hand.
"Wouldn't want to miss it," Sam added eying Eliza warily making the older woman grin.
"Until tomorrow then," Eliza said and left.
"Yeah I'm leaving too," Alex spoke up.
"Us too," Sam spoke up. "This one has school tomorrow," she said hugging her daughter to her side.
"Alright guys. We'll see you tomorrow," Kara said as she accompanied her leaving guest to the door.
"So," Kara said as she closed her door and turned to Lena.
"So?" Lena asked smiling softly.
"Well we're finally alone and you did just survive meeting my mother," Kara replied smiling suggestively and leaning over Lena who was sitting on the couch. "I think you've earned a reward," Kara added in a whisper.
Lena leaned up closing the space between them and kissing Kara passionately in response. Kara picked Lena up from the couch and held her closer to her while they kept kissing.
"Some reward," Lena murmured as they paused for air.
"We're not done yet," Kara said grinning before taking a seat taking Lena with her so that Lena ended up straddling Kara's lap. Kara leaned up and covered Lena's mouth with hers again.
The next day Alex arrived at the DEO early knowing Winn would already be there.
"Winn," she growled out.
"Hi Alex," Winn replied looking panicked.
"My mom is in town," Alex said.
"Oh God. I'm so sorry. It just slipped out. Oh God. I didn't realize you hadn't told her yet and I promise I really didn't mean to," Winn squeaked out panicked.
"Now Winn I promised Kara I wouldn't kill or maim you and I won't," Alex said calmly leaning over Winn's chair and looking him in the eye. "But…," she continued making Winn gulp. "I will get back at you. Not now. No that would be to kind. When you're least expecting it. When you think you're safe I'll be there and I'll bring you hell."
Alex took a step back smiled evilly and walked away.
"And Winn?" Alex said over her shoulder. "You're lucky I know you didn't mean to because otherwise… Otherwise you would be breathing through a straw right now."
Winn gulped and hissed out a quiet 'fuck' into the empty room.
