This chapter jumps a year into the future and you will see why this may cause me to add a sequel later.

Chapter 38

Cat's P.O.V.

I can't believe it's been an entire year now since I've had my lunch with Supergirl so I could get to know the girl behind the cape unknowing how it would totally change both of our lives forever. Both of us have never been happier and Carter has totally blossomed. Don't get me wrong, he's still my sweet, brilliant, funny, sensitive, amazing, silly, shy boy, he's just a little taller and gawkier now. Hahaha

And to think in a few weeks he's going to become a big brother. I know he's so excited. I catch him watching YouTube videos on how to change diapers and burp babies and reading Kara's baby books. I honestly think he's going to be more prepared than we are...and I've had babies before. Hahaha

Kara waddles into the den and sits down.

"Cat, babe, can you please hand me the remote. I forgot to grab it before I sat down. Oh, and can you please hand me my drink, too?"

I smirk as I hand her what she requested.

"Can I fetch you anything else, my lady?"

She pouts.

"No. Sorry if I'm being a burden. Alex said I shouldn't use any of my super powers because she's not sure what they'll do to the baby or I'd zip around myself and get things myself. Actually, it would be more like slink around quickly nowadays."

I belly laugh as I sit down next to her and begin to rub her feet.

"Sweetheart, I don't mind doing things for you for a change. It's my pleasure, honest. You're carrying our child, I want you to keep that little bundle of joy as safe and secure as possible and if that means waiting on you hand and foot getting you pickles wrapped with salami mixed in ice cream, cream cheese jalapeño poppers, nachos grande with whipped cream on top, toaster strudel, or mashed potatoes with hot fudge sauce, sobeit."

She smiles softly.

"Thanks. The baby thanks you, too. Feel...she's kicking up a storm in there."

I smile as I touch her belly.

"Yeah she is. Kara, are you sure she's a she and not a he? I mean we didn't get an official answer from the ultrasound because the little stinker kept covering up."

Kara laughs.

"Then it has to be a she because she's taking after me already."

I roll my eyes.

"You don't cover up that much anymore, my love."

She blushes.

"True, but I am still somewhat modest."

I lean over and kiss her.

"You keep thinking that dear. So, we haven't come up with a name yet. Do you have any ideas?"

She thinks for a minute.

"Not really, other than maybe naming her after my mom or my aunt but naming her Alura or Astra sounds like I'm setting her up to be picked on. Plus I feel like it would be insulting to Eliza if I didn't include her too somehow since she is technically my mother, too. Do you have anyone that you would like to honor?"

I smile.

"No one that I can think of any sweetheart. We could use either your mother's name or aunt's name for her middle name if you'd like. That way you could still honor them. I'm sure Eliza wouldn't be insulted if you did that. She would totally understand. Talk to her about it if it would make you feel better."

She gives me one of her biggest smiles.

"Yeah. I never thought of that, using one of their names for her middle name. Thanks babe. You always know what to say."

I give her a hug.

"You're welcome."

** Just then, Carter walks in the room. **

"Hey you two, what's up?"

We both smile at him.

"Well son, we're trying to come up with baby names. Any suggestions?"

He thinks for a second, scratching his head for emphasis.

"No, nothing comes to mind. It's almost a shame that babies don't come out with names pre-assigned to them so parents wouldn't have to struggle naming them."

Kara and I both giggle.

"But where's the fun in that bud? What if the baby came out and its name was Toaster Strudel because all their mother craved was toaster strudel during pregnancy?

He laughs.

"I don't think it would work that way but I see your point."

I roll my eyes.

"Well I, for one, don't wish to resort to those baby name books because they are just too overwhelming. And no, we are not naming the baby Toaster Strudel or any other strange craving you've had. I refuse to yell out 'Pickle-Salami' when calling for our child's attention."

Kara and Carter both crack up laughing.

"Hey, it would be unique though."

I roll my eyes again.

"No."

Kara giggles.

"I'm just kidding babe."

"I know. I just want to make sure you know we're not naming this baby something bizarre."

She smirks.

"I've got a name...Chewy!"

Carter nearly falls over with laughter as I just glare at the two of them.

"Ha-ha-ha...No."

Kara tries to lean over to kiss me but her belly prevents her from doing so causing her to pout.

"You know what that does to me."

"What what does to you babe?"

"Your pout."

She smiles.

"Oh, that. Haha Well I was trying to give you a kiss but, well *points to her belly*, I couldn't get close enough."

I chuckle.

"I know. I thought it was cute."

I lean over and kiss her to put her out of her misery.

"Mmmm...thanks babe."

Carter makes gagging noises.

"Young man, remember our talk from before? One day you will not find kissing gross."

He laughs.

"I know, but for now...Ew!"

Kara tosses a pillow at him.

"Goofball. Hey, you haven't given me or your mother a hug today."

He stalks over to us and gives us both hugs.

"May I go upstairs now and work on my projects? All this lovey-dovey stuff is making me feel icky."

Kara and I chuckle.

"Of course son. We'll call you down when dinner's ready."

He bolts upstairs to his sanctuary.

"Kara, how are you feeling?"

She smiles.

"I feel great, why?"

I rub her back.

"No reason. I know it's getting close and I just remember being a bundle of nerves the last week or so."

"I can't imagine Cat Grant being anything other than calm and cool under any and all situations."

I laugh.

"Are you kidding me? I was young when I had Adam. I had no clue what was truly involved with having a newborn baby. I had nightmares that I would forget him somewhere or that he would roll off of something and I wouldn't catch him. I was terrified. I knew my mother wouldn't be a help and Adam's father's mother wasn't around, so I was going to be on my own. Don't even get me started about my pregnancy with Carter. I was mush when he was born."

She chuckles.

"I have super speed, remember. Rao forbid the baby rolls anywhere when it shouldn't, I'll catch it. Also, I'm going to have you and Carter here to help so I won't be alone. Plus Auntie Alex will be around doting on her and Eliza will probably be here doing the same. Cat, everything is going to be okay. I promise."

I give her a big kiss.

"I love you, you know that."

"I love you, too. Babe...could you get me a toaster strudel please? Talking about one earlier totally made me want one."

I smirk as I get up.

"I knew it would. Yes, I'll go get you one. Be right back."

** Kara's phone rings. **

"Hello? Oh hey Auntie Alex, what's up?"

"Hey Little Sis, I'm fine. How's the Mom-to-Be?"

"I'm fine, thanks. So to what do I owe the phone call?"

Kara can hear giggling in the background.

"Nothing, I was just checking in on you. Can't I do that?"

"Sure you can. Who's with you?"

She hears Alex shush the other people.

"No one."

"Liar, liar, pants on fire! What's going on Alex?"

** Just as Kara begins to get upset, Alex, Eliza, Lucy, Carter, and Cat walk into the room with a big cake. **

"SURPRISE!"

"What the...how in the...huh?"

Alex walks over and sits down next to her.

"Kara Danvers-Grant, this is your Baby Shower!"

I look over to her as I see tears form in her eyes.

"This is my Baby Shower? Really? That's so sweet everyone, thank you."

I sit down on her other side.

"Kara, sweetheart, did we really surprise you?"

She nods.

"Yes. How did you pull this together? This is so sweet...I'm sorry, I can't stop crying."

Everyone laughs.

"It's those darn hormones. I was a mess when I was pregnant with Alex. I would cry at greeting card commercials."

Alex looks at Eliza.

"Mom, you never told me that."

"It's a little embarrassing, that's why. The commercial would barely start and I'd be a blubbering mess. Your dad would get such a kick out of it. He said he should've invested in tissues."

Alex goes over and hugs her.

"Pet food commercials."

"What babe?"

"I'd cry at pet food commercials. I'd see those fuzzy little animals getting so excited over their dinner and just burst into tears."

Kara just giggles.

"That has to be the most adorable thing I've ever heard."

Alex speaks up.

"Okay are we just going to talk about crying over things or are we going to eat some cake?"

Kara's eyes light up.

"CAKE!"

"Eliza, would you like to do the honors? I don't trust someone to cut this fairly."

Kara pouts.

"Hey, that's not nice. I would totally cut the cake fairly. I'd cut half for me and then I'd cut up the other half into dainty pieces for the rest of you."

I roll my eyes as everyone laughs.

"Sounds about right, Cat. She tries to do that with her birthday cakes."

I just shake my head.

"Yeah, I know. I just don't want her to give birth to a cake."

Kara's mouth opens and closes as she tries to think of a comeback.

** After they've all devoured the cake, they move onto presents. **

"Aw, a mini Supergirl outfit! It's just so cute, I can't stand it!"

I smile.

"All of these presents are great, thank you."

"Yes, thank you everybody."

I see Kara stifle a yawn.

"Well it looks like someone is partied out."

She suddenly perks up.

"No I'm not."

Everyone laughs.

"Kara, dear, go rest. We were getting ready to leave anyway."

She gets up, hugs everyone, and thanks them for their lovely gifts and for coming over.

"I'll check on you in a minute or two sweetheart."

She nods as she climbs up the stairs to our room.

"Thank you everyone for coming over. I can't believe we pulled this off without her knowing."

"Thank you, Cat, for having us over and doing this. I cannot wait to get the phone call telling me that I'm a grandmother."

I smile.

"I can't wait to give you that call...although it would be much better if you were actually here, for Kara's sake. Are you sure you won't reconsider staying her or letting me put you up in a hotel so you'll be here?"

She hugs me.

"I don't want to be a bother. Besides, I'm sure Clark with scoop me up when it's time and get me here lickadee split."

"Okay, well if you change your mind please let me know."

She nods as she walks out the door.

"Thanks Cat and congratulations again."

"Thanks Lucy."

"Cat, you need anything, call me."

"Will do Alex. Thanks for helping me with this."

She smiles.

"Anything for you two."

As I close the door, Carter walks over and hugs me.

"Great job mom."

"Thank you, Carter. Thank you for helping me arrange all of this. You are so amazing, you know that. I love you so much."

He blushes.

"Mom, I thought of a name you two might want to consider. I may be a little cheesy but how about Hope?"

I think for a second.

"Hope?"

"Yeah, because Supergirl gives everyone hope."

I tear up as I hear sniffling coming from the top of the staircase.

"Kara, you're supposed to be resting."

She slinks down the stairs.

"I know but when I heard Carter say that he thought of a name, I wanted to hear it."

I chuckle.

"And your super hearing wouldn't allow that from bed?"

She blushes.

"Well, what do you think about that name?"

I smile.

"I think it's beautiful, what do you think?"

She bursts into tears as she grabs both Carter and me, squeezing both of us.

"I-I love it. Thank you, Carter. You are such a magnificent boy! I love you so, so much! You are going to be a fantastic big brother."

He blushes again.

"Thanks and you're welcome. Um, may I go back upstairs now please?"

Kara and I both nod as he runs upstairs.

"Well I guess our daughter-to-be finally has a name."

Kara buries her head into the crook of my neck.

"Mmmhmm. Do you really like the name...Hope?"

I rub her back as she melts into me.

"I adore the name. I think it's totally fitting for our daughter, don't you?"

She hums.

"Come on sweetheart, let me get you back upstairs and off your feet, okay."

"Okay. Babe, will you join me? I-I would really like to cuddle with you."

I smile at her adorableness.

"Of course, my love."

"Um, babe...could I still have that toaster strudel?"

We both laugh as we walk the stairs to our room.

"Anything for you, Supergirl."
