Conversations on a Balcony

A/N: Another interlude into Conversations in a Medical Lab!
"Temperature's good, vitals are good, blood tests are all good. How are you feeling?" Alex said as she scribbled some notes in her patient's chart.
"My clothes don't fit properly," Kara griped. "I'm so hungry, I'm worried I'm going to eat Cat out of her entire fortune." Cat chuckled as she kissed her wife's temple. "I have an ache in my pelvis that won't quit and I'm horny ALL THE FUCKING TIME."
Alex nodded. "So, nothing out of the ordinary for pregnancy. The ache is being caused by your body making space for the baby. It may get a little worse in the third trimester as things relax in preparation for birth. As for sex, no need to hold back. If Cat's not around, you can take care of it yourself. Fingers or toys. It won't harm the baby."
Kara blushed a little. "I've just suddenly realized that my doctor is also my sister," she muttered.
Cat laughed softly as the director smiled, shaking her head in amusement, and continued with her note taking. "Anything else for week twenty?"
"I don't think so," the Kryptonian replied with a shrug.
Cat leaned forward in her chair. "Is there anything I can do to help with the pain she's feeling since Advil won't help?"
"Actually," Alex replied after a moment's thought. "There may be some things you can try."
Cat's eyebrows lifted. "Whatever you think might help, I'll try it for sure."
The director smiled. "Spoon against her with a heating pad against her back and hold one against her pubic area in front. The radiating heat should help ease the pain." She cleared her throat then. "And touch her. Caress her bare skin and erogenous zones. The endorphins released are natural pain relief. It'll be even better when you can bring her to orgasm."
Kara was blushing again, but Cat just nodded. "Thank you, Alex."
The director nodded but then her tone gentled. "Cat, I sense that you're feeling a little frustrated that you can't do more for Kara, but you have nothing to feel guilty about, ok? You know what it's like to be pregnant. It is what it is."
The Kryptonian squeezed her wife's hand. "She's right, Cat. You're doing everything you possibly can to make this as easy as possible for me and I love that." She smiled then. "Do you want to tell her what we've decided to name the baby?"
Cat's smiled as she looked at her sister-in-law. "We're calling her Abigail Alexandra."
Alex sucked in a breath and leaned back in her chair as tears welled in her brown eyes. "I love that," she whispered, not trusting her voice. "Thank you." She got up then and rounded her desk to hug each of them in turn. "If either of you need anything, just call, ok?"
"We will," Kara replied. She stroked her sister's cheek, looking into her eyes as she tried to convey all the gratitude she was feeling. "I love you so much."
Alex covered Kara's hand with her own, a big smile spreading across her face as she squinched her eyes playfully. "Aw shucks. Me too."
