Around three weeks later, Kara had called out from work, sick to her stomach. The two weeks prior was understandable, Kryptonite on a Kryptonion, bad combo. Barry had been worried about her, so he also requested time off. Kara had a bucket next to her, lounging on the couch, Barry sitting next to her, their fingers intertwined. The two were watching television, Kara with her face a pale green color in her face. Barry turned his body towards her.
"This isn't normal, we should go to the labs," Barry told her. This is about the millionth time that she had heard this statement. Exhaling audibly, she nodded in agreement.
"Fine," Kara gave in. With a woosh, they were there. Alex approached the two with Caitlin following her.
"Kara, Barry has been telling us about your... Issue, yes, it had been a while since you've come in contact with Kryptonite, but, it shouldn't be causing any of this. Barry, if you will, leave the room," Alex asked of him. Barry paused and nodded.
"Sure," his voice, sounding not too pleasing. Barry exited the back cubical and entered the main lab, waiting on Kara. Alex approached Kara, arms folded.
"So, miss Zor-El, have you had any sexual activity within the month?" Alex questioned. The immediate shock fell into Kara's expression.
"I-."
"Don't worry, let's just do some blood-work."
Hours later...
"The results are in, Kara," Caitlin told her as she sat on the chair. Barry hadn't been notified of the situation and had been sitting in the lab, waiting to hear something, Kara didn't want to tell him, mostly because she was scared herself. What would happen? How did this happen? Sure, her and Barry... you know, but she was an alien, and he was human. But if it lights, it lights.
"I'm ready," Kara said, trying to be confident.
"You're pregnant, congrats, you're due date is May 18th." Kara's eyes swelled up with tears, she couldn't believe it. No fighting crime, that killed her, she really just couldn't believe it.
"Alex, are you-."
"The blood-work doesn't lie, Kara, you have sex, you have a baby, that's how these things work, and I really don't approve of what you and Barry did, by the way, considering that you guys have only been back together, what? A month now? I'm a little disappointed, Kara, but I'm glad to know I'll be an aunt soon." Alex smiled after her last statement. Kara shuddered, Caitlin pulled her into a hug, Kara returned the hug.
"You ready to tell Barry?" Cait asked. Kara shook her head in disagreement.
"I'll tell him soon, just-not now." Their hug broke, Kara stood and went outside the back exit, she took off and flew to her apartment. After landing on the fire escape, she entered her apartment through the window, she ran to the door and locked it. What good would it do? Barry could faze through it. Kara clashed down on the couch. Her and Barry lived together, he could just unlock the door. She felt the need to get away, she couldn't face Barry with this news. Kara's eyes filled with water, she was terrified, she didn't know how to raise a baby. With Barry, she didn't know how to even approach the subject.
Kara stood from the couch, she went to the bedroom, sitting on the bed, laying her body down, wrapping herself in the covers. Super hearing went off. The key, turning in the lock, she could hear the metals moving, foot steps then moved into the apartment, Barry. The foot steps moved to the bedroom and the door creaked open.
"Kara, you okay?" Barry's voice was soothing.
"Barry, sit down," Kara told him, voice in shudders.
"Kara? What is it? Have you been crying?"
"I-I know what's wrong, I don't know how to say it."
"Kara, please, please tell me." With a sudden exhale, she sat up glancing at him, his hand rested on her cheek, caressing her cheek, removing the tears.
"I-I'm pregnant, Barry." Her eyes quickly adverted away from him, silence filled the room, she looked back at him, he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Really? We're going to be parents? Kara! This is amazing!" The speedster peppered her with kisses. The feeling that Kara was feeling, faded, and it faded quickly, joy began to fill her system. A child. Something innocent in a corrupted world.
"Barry, I love you."
"I love you, Kara." Barry grinned, hugging her.
