Life Part 3

Bit of sexual content and Alex beginning to maybe, just maybe, catch a clue?

Thanks for the feedback on the chapters for Life. I'll be adding more of course! I'm enjoying writing whatever I feel like!

Kara was fidgeting. It was bad. Really bad. Alex gritted her teeth and then took a deep breath as she rolled over to face her bedmate.

"Kara, what's wrong?"

"Shoot, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." The hero shook her head and winced. "It's the baby. She's kicking and she keeps waking me up."

Alex froze. "Kicking? She's kicking?"

Kara nodded, smiling at her sister in the dim light. "Yeah… give me your hand."

The agent shimmied closer and reached over to let Kara guide her hand under her tank top onto her bare skin. They both waited a moment and then Alex gasped as she felt a sharp kick against her hand. "Oh, my God! I felt it!" There was silence for a moment and then Kara smiled as Alex started to sniffle. "I felt it," the older woman whispered. She moved even closer and pulled Kara into her arms, curling around the pregnant hero and supporting her expanding stomach as her fingers moved to massage her lower back. "Is this ok?"

"Perfect…" Kara hummed with pleasure and tried to ignore the feeling of arousal that had been coursing more and more often through her body but, when Alex's fingers innocently found bare skin, the blonde gasped and scooted away.

The agent held up her hands. "What is it? Did I hurt you? Wait, I can't hurt you. Kara, what's going on?"

Kara took a few deep breaths to calm her pounding heart. "Sorry… I'm… sorry… my skin is just really sensitive and I'm… um… God, this is awkward… but I can't help it. It keeps happening and…" But she stopped talking when she saw the smile on Alex's face. The agent propped her head up on her hand and kept eye contact with her.

"You're horny, aren't you?" But it was a statement, rather than a question.

The hero covered her face with her hands and groaned. "A lot," she admitted. "I think it's the pregnancy hormones."

Alex chuckled. "Well, you've always been… fairly active, Kara, and it's been months since…" She cleared her throat as she realized it had been just as long for her too. "But yeah, the hormones do intensify those feelings." She sat up then and nodded. "Why don't I give you some… space… so you can… um… take care of things."

Without waiting for an answer, Alex grabbed her pillow and a blanket off the back of a nearby chair and moved into the living room. But as she lay on the couch in the cool dimness, her mind started to wander and she wondered if Kara had taken her up on her offer. She wondered if her sister was actually in there touching herself… if her fingers were running through soaked folds… if they were rubbing her hardened clitoris. Alex felt a low throbbing begin between her legs as she wondered if Kara had her head thrown back… if she was biting her bottom lip the way she had that night they'd made love… if she was breathing hard and moaning…

And then the agent's hand was inside her own panties, her fingertips moving erotically as she wondered if Kara was thinking about her as she touched herself, the way she was thinking about Kara. It was more than enough to send Alex over the edge and she wasn't sure but she thought she may have moaned out her sister's name as she came. It was hard and intense and left her chest heaving and her body shaking.

In the bedroom, Kara lay on her back, her own chest heaving. She'd heard Alex moan out her name and it had sent her over the edge right after her sister. She could still hear the frantic pounding of Alex's heart and tears rose in her blue eyes as she realized what that meant. Alex was thinking about her privately as a lover but wasn't ready for it to become a reality.

In the living room, Alex shook her head and covered her face with her pillow. She knew she shouldn't and couldn't think of her sister like that but it was getting harder and harder not to. Not when she had to finally admit to herself that she was falling in love with Kara and wanted to hold her and touch her and…

"Alex, come back to bed," Kara finally called from the bedroom. And minutes later, they were curled up on opposite sides of the bed, each trying to find sleep and aching to hold the other.

..

Cat was hosting a baby shower for Kara in one of the large conference rooms at CatCo. She'd had it decorated with banners and streamers and Kara was sitting at the head of the table, surrounded by piles of gifts. Cat herself had gifted her a top of the range, super-expensive stroller.

"Susan," Vasquez called with a grin.

"Elizabeth!"

"Catherine!"

"Alexandra!"

"Junior!"

Alex and Kara laughed as they exchanged looks. "No," Alex stated from her seat on Kara's right. "I don't want this kid named after me."

Lena Luthor stood and moved closer to Kara. "Lena is always good too. Congratulations, Kara," she murmured as she bent to kiss her friend's cheek. Then with a wink, she wandered off to get another glass of wine.

Kara blushed a little, not unaware of the fact that Lena was attracted to her. Alex bristled and wrapped her arm possessively around Kara's shoulders. "Alex," the hero murmured. "Just you and our baby, remember? Besides, she doesn't know the full story."

"Sorry… I know," Alex sighed. Her hand moved automatically toward their baby bump but she stopped herself at the last second. Not everyone at the baby shower knew the truth. The official story was that Kara had decided to have the baby on her own using a donor so Alex having her hand casually on her sister like that wasn't exactly appropriate.

But to the agent's surprise, Kara suddenly took her hand and pressed it against her stomach. "She's playing soccer in there," she said. The constant kicking made Alex laugh.

"Or maybe dancing."

"Or maybe hand-to-hand combat," Kara chuckled as she leaned comfortably against her sister. "You can teach her when she's old enough to walk." The indulgent faces in the room made her grin sheepishly then. "Sorry. Anyone else want to feel?"

A line of oooohing and awwwwwing women formed immediately in front of her, headed up by Cat Grant. Alex got up and went to the beverage table to grab a glass of wine for herself and a club soda for Kara but she was suddenly faced with a smiling Lena Luthor. "I owe you an apology, Alex," she said softly.

"Me?" Alex replied. "Why?"

"I don't want you to think that I'm trying to come between you and Kara. I just consider her to be a good friend." Red lips sipped from the wine glass.

Alex shook her head. "Kara and I are close, yes," she said. "But we're not dating. She's free to… do… whatever she wants."

Lena tilted her head and Alex looked across the room to where Kara was gazing at her with gentle affection. The hero's blue eyes were shining with happiness and Alex thought that she had never looked as beautiful. "I don't think that's really true," the CEO smiled. "I think Kara has already made her choice." And, after holding her glass up in a toasting gesture, she wandered away to talk to Alex and Kara's mother, Eliza.

For a long moment, Alex just stood there as the pieces started to fall into place. Could it be that Kara was in love with her the way she was in love with Kara? The question burned deep down in her soul. She slipped quietly away from the party and moved out onto the balcony where she leaned on the wall and gazed out over the city.

"Beautiful view," a new voice said softly.

Alex smiled at Cat and nodded. "It is. Especially at this time of day. The sunset is so amazing." She straightened then. "Thank you, Cat… for everything."

Cat nodded. "You're more than welcome, Alex but… can I just ask for one thing in return?"

"Anything," the agent nodded firmly.

"Please don't break her heart."

The agent sucked in a breath as tears rose instantly in her eyes. "What did she tell you?"

But Cat shook her head. "I won't break her confidence, Alex, but… if you feel something for her that's more than sisterly, don't hold back because you're afraid of what others will think."

Alex shook her head. "I'm more worried about what SHE will think."

Cat patted the agent's shoulder gently. "Talk to her. Be honest. She needs that. You both do."

And with a final smile. Cat headed back into the party.
