An Unexpected Fight. Part I.
Over in Metropolis, Kara was fighting one of her cousins usual villains. Clark and Lois had wanted to take a romantic trip to the Bahamas for a week; so while he was gone, Kara was using her Supergirl alias to protect the city (J'onn was protecting National City for the week). Kara had taken a week off from CatCo as well.
Sadly, because of Barry having to go to his Earth every day, there was nobody to watch the girls except for Eliza. Kara missed her little girls every day but she knew with each passing day that she was a day closer to seeing them again.
The villain, whose name Kara had forgotten already, threw tiny devises at her that blew up in seconds; the gray smoke blocked her view until she sucked the smoke in and blew it up into the air. She looked over to find that the villain was no longer around. "Where'd he go?" She asked as she used her super eyes to try and find him. He was no where in sight. "Damn it." She said. But her ears caught up a tiny voice cursing in pain and turned on her heels. "Found him." She giggled to herself.
After the heroic fight Kara was back in Clark's apartment, clad in pajamas, with her take-out Chinese from the previous night. She picked up her phone and called Eliza via face time. After a couple of minutes Eliza answered.
"Hi Kara" Eliza greeted. "How's Metropolis?
"It's a little fun over here, but I miss you all." Kara said with some sadness in her voice. "How are my babies?"
Eliza turned the camera and walked outside to where the two toddlers sat under a large umbrella on a blanket with toys surrounding them. They were both occupied with themselves and a toy they each had. Kara studied them for a moment and saw that the lead stud earrings and tiny bracelets on each of their wrists were keeping their powers down. Eliza sat on the blanket and spoke to the two. "Girls, mommy's on the phone."
"Hello little ones." Kara smiled. She saw that neither paid attention for a couple of minutes until they did. Once so, they had no clue that their mother was on that devise their grandma held. In other words; they took it and began moving it around to study it. Eliza took it back gently and held it at an angle for the trio. Kara saw her little face and Barry's little face on her screen. "Allie, Nikki. Hi little girls."
"Mama?"
"Hi Allie."
"Mama?"
"Seeing them in person is better." Kara announced. "I'll be home soon, girls. I love you."
"Tell us about the city when you're back tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow night? Has it been a week already?"
"Sure has. I know, it seems like you just left yesterday." Eliza sighed happily. "Hey, are you guys still coming to the Valentine's Day dinner I'm going to have next week?"
"Uh, sure, wouldn't miss it. Barry has something planned for the two of us later. Probably frozen yogurt because that's how all dates end with him usually." Kara laughed lightly. "Kiss my girls for me. Love you."
"I will. Love you too, Kara."
Kara hung up the phone and tossed it next to her. She laid on her elbow and thought. Has it really been a week? She was sure she's been here for two days now; today being day three, not seven. What's up with her? She usually was good at keeping track! Okay, sort of good at keeping track. But going home to her family was surely something she would remember. Even if that one type of Kryptonite that the D.E.O made two years ago would make her forget who she was all together, there's still some part of her that would remember that her children are home waiting for her.
Plus, something else caught her attention. Something more personal. It wasn't until she went into a certain room and ended up finding something that would spark her interest in wonder.
Next Day; Night.
"Sleep honey, go to sleep." Barry said as he laid the toddler in her crib. "Go sleepy like your sister." He cooed. He rubbed her tummy gingerly, prompting the toddler go fall asleep in a matter of minutes.
Barry walked down the stairs to find Kara sitting on the couch. "Hey, your back!"
"Hi!" Kara shouted as she jumped up and ran over to him. Embracing him into a firm hug she said, "I would of came up stairs but I thought since you were just getting them to sleep, it'd be better to surprise them in the morning."
"Thank you. Just getting Nichole to sleep was the trouble. Allie was out in a light bulb. How was Metropolis?" He questioned as Barry sat on the couch.
Kara sat on his lap with her legs rested along the couch and arms wrapped around him. "It was fun. I missed everyone here though."
"Don't leave us again please. It took me two hours to calm Nichole down when she realized you really weren't coming back from around the corner. I think Allie could care less." Barry chuckled.
"Oh great." The blonde laughed. "I feel better knowing one kid misses me."
"You okay?"
"Yeah. Why?"
Barry studied her face; she was a bit pale in the face, but had this sort of glow to it when she smiled. She appeared fatigue under her eyes too but he felt energy vibe from her. "I don't know, you seems a little different."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. I mean I sort of noticed before you left but I thought I was just being crazy. Now that your back though those wild ideas are back."
"What wild, crazy ideas?"
"That you might be pregnant again." He laughed. "Not too mention that you've eaten a few weird things lately, weirder than usual, and within the last ten weeks you've been on a high sex drive."
"You kept track?"
"After the first two weeks of non-stop sex every night I did." He answered. Hearing himself out loud now, he found himself creepy. "Oh wow. That is weird."
"You're an unearthly person in general, Barry Allen." Kara smirked.
"Says the alien." Barry kissed her cheek. "Glad your back."
"I'm glad we're back too." Kara said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Barry rested his head on to of hers with a smile. His eyes shot open a moment later. We're back? "Kara? You said ' we're ' back as in there is two people."
"Sort of." She said. "More like an alien and, in Cisco's words, a meta-alien"
"Huh?"
"Crazy man is right," Kara sat up and smiled brightly at him. "I'm pregnant again."
Barry sat up straight on the couch with a wild expression on his face. "No way, seriously?"
"Yeah!" Kara laughed. "I took a few tests Lois had leftover and they all came out positive."
"Holy crap, this is awesome!" Barry hugged her firmly. "Another kid in the house."
"Three under three." The new mother to be pointed out. "It's going to be a zoo in here."
