Conversations on a Balcony
40
Kara was agitated, the crinkle between her eyebrows in full force as she waited not so patiently. She'd been unceremoniously thrown out of Alex's lab by the woman herself a couple of hours previously and now she was just pacing quickly back and forth on the DEO's balcony instead, arms crossed and cape swinging behind her.
"You know, Darling," Cat said gently as she looked up from her iPhone. "You might try gliding. Wearing a hole in the floor is not going to make the results come any quicker."
Kara sighed and went to stand next to her. "How can you be so calm?" she asked tightly. "What if I can't do this for us, Cat?"
The older woman smiled and wrapped her arms around her Kryptonian's waist as she looked into her eyes. "Listen to me, Kara Danvers," she said softly. "I love you and everything is going to be ok."
Kara kissed Cat's forehead and hugged her gently. "I love you too." She rubbed her own forehead then, trying to dispel the tension in her head. "Sorry... I know I'm being weird."
"You're not being weird," the older woman reassured, not for the first time. "Whatever the test results are, we'll do whatever it takes to have a baby." Kara nodded but then stiffened as Alex appeared at the door, a sheet of paper in her hand.
"Hey, you two," she said. "So… I have news."
Kara swallowed; her eyes wide as she suddenly wasn't sure she wanted to hear the results at all. Cat turned to face Alex apprehensively and the hero held her from behind, trembling against her.
"Three things actually…" Alex paused, and a smile spread across her face. "First, Kryptonians ARE biologically compatible with humans, which also bodes well for Lois and Clark. Second, the reason why the results took longer than usual is because Brainy triple checked to make sure that, if you want us to, we can safely splice your DNA and give you guys both a biological daughter." Kara whooped, picked Cat up and spun her joyfully as the older woman laughed.
"What's the third thing?" Cat asked then as her lover set her down, grinning happily.
Alex went to them and pulled them both into a bear hug. "I'm going to be the BEST fucking aunt on this planet!" she concluded with a huge grin of her own.
