A/N Consistency yee, woop woop!
This chapter is sorta long again, I personally enjoy writing each and so it would make me feel better if I know what you think, leave a review and tell me!
Another side note also, don't forget to read all the way to the end.
Days later, the mostly happy human-kryptonian couple were on a walk in the park hand in hand, there were some people around and Lena was beyond nervous, she was dressed casually with a college T-Shirt and pants, glasses on and a cap. Her way of trying to blend in and maybe try to make Kara feel better with a casual walk. And as the week had gone by, Kara's days have been bad to worse apparently.
"This day couldn't have been any fucking longer."
"Kara?!" whisper-yelled Lena at her profanity.
"Sorry, it's just that I was forced to write another piece after I finished my first one because it was way too casual, meaning they wanted something on Supergirl! There ARE other things I like writing about!"
Lena gave her a sympathetic smile, "I agree, you are quite amazing with your words, you know I always believe in you.", she looked around before pulling the blonde's hand up to kiss it, which with the compliment combined left her quite flustered.
"Thank you, I know you…", Kara trailed off, going pale and stopping in her tracks.
Lena put her hand on Kara's back, frame filled with worry, "Are you going to through up?", Kara holding a hand over her mouth before running to the side of the path was her answer. She quickly followed, holding Kara's ponytail back. Although was doing her quite very best trying to hold in, the small smirk was threatening to show.
When she was done, Kara turned to the green eyed woman with an expression of pain again.
"Does your stomach hurt?", she unwarily connected both of their hands as she looked her over.
"Not like that, I'm just hungry because I threw up…", Kara squinted at her then, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lena snapped herself out of her daze, "Like what?", she wondered.
"Like…heart eyed."
"Haven't I been looking at you like that always?", Lena smiled her face splitting smile at her, almost never aware what it did to Kara.
Kara smiled back, going in for a hug, she was most definitely surprised when the public intimate hug was returned. She nuzzled her face happily in the pale neck as Lena stroked her hair.
"Do you think…we should go see Zatanna? To tell us if maybe there's a possibility…", Lena suggested carefully.
Kara sighted and shook her head, "No. I'll just end up disappointed. Or even worse, I'll disappoint you."
"Kara you could never disappoint me. I love you."
That made the blue eyed hero raise her head to look at the older woman with the biggest Kara-sunshine-smile, "I love you too Lena." She put a palm on Lena's cheek, the smile falling off her features, "That's why I hate that I can't carry our baby.", then a stream of tears found their way down her cheeks, startling Lena before she brought her in for a hug as the Kryptonian wept.
This wasn't the first time it happened. After Lena's proclamation of hope the previous week, Kara mostly avoided the subject like the plague, even as her mood changed from moment to moment and as she threw up constantly, as she started peeing constantly and the strange pain showing up every time Lena wasn't around. The CEO would always remember how turned on Kara got with the palm on her stomach, and the deep heart-aching love they both felt at the dreamy touch.
"I'm so sorry Lena…", she had apologized as she held Lena close when they lay in bed, and her tears soaked the other woman's pajama. "I'm sorry…" she repeated again and again, crying.
Now she herself was choking back her own tears, her Luthor discipline barely keeping her in check. What nearly broke her was when she heard the muffled "Sorry Lee…".
"Kara, there's nothing to be sorry about.", she turned her head and took care of cleaning the tears off of the blonde's face, the beautiful blue eyes gleaming from the wetness, making them stand out and making Lena's heart leap in her chest.
She smiled, and planted a long and soft kiss on her lips. That seemed to calm down the reporter. The Luthor never showed this much affection in public and she was hoping that the action was enough to get her point across, that she loved her.
"Let's go home and talk this over, okay?", offered Lena in a calm, warm voice.
Kara raised her shoulders, "What is there to talk about? I'm dissap-", another kiss interrupted her, a hand wrapping in her hair and pulling her in for another, rougher kiss.
When they parted Lena's hidden by the sunglasses eyes only made her seem more serious as she ordered, "Shut. Up. Kara.", the woman in question looked smitten at the public display, with a smile and a peck on the cheek Kara nodded. The day wasn't so bad after all, they both thought.
At night time later, the two lounged on Lena's sofa with the blonde resting between the other woman's legs as the two were wrapped in eachother's embrace, and a blanket while watching TV. Then Kara's phone rang and she answered it, in a flash getting up from the comfortable position.
"Aha, yeah, I'll be there shortly.", Lena rolled her eyes as she turned to watch Kara change in her suit.
She was putting on her boots by the time the CEO turned her head, as Kara looked back at her she swallowed at the worried green eyes.
"Something weird is happening Downtown…"
Lena lifted her eyebrow and walked up to the hero as she spoke, "Like what? Something that needs you immediately?"
Kara raised her shoulders, "Not exactly, but people are showing up with weird wounds on their stomachs and I have to check it.", at the mention of the word stomach Lena's face dropped its strong façade and she took both of Supergirl's hands before she took off.
"Kara don't go…"
The hero frowned, looking puzzled, "Why? Since when do you have a problem with this?"she chuckled.
The green eyed partner squared her jaw and pulled Kara's taller frame closer, she hated that her looks weren't working on the hero when she was looking down at her from up there in that suit.
"Since there is a possibility that you could be pregnant."
The blonde gave a short laugh, "Lena come on, I gotta go and this isn't funny anymore."
Lena shook her head, "Honey, I'm serious. Please.", she wrapped her hands around the blonde's waist, trying to keep her there with her.
"No! Lena stop this, me being pregnant is impossible!"
"You have all the normal symptoms and more. And there's no such thing as impossible.", Kara rolled her eyes, remembering her conversation with Zatanna.
"Yeah but this is. My body could be feeling confused because we made love after the first round. Plus I don't see anything there…"
Lena's determination fell at that, the alien was making sense even though neither wanted her to be right. They separated, each disappointed by the conclusion of the conversation.
"…just the usual pink light from the magic, that's all.", added Kara quietly to herself mostly before opening the balcony door.
Lena then was back to her senses, "Kara."
"What?"
"Just promise me you won't let yourself get shot in the stomach. Wear the suit I made, or a longer vest…"
The hero's face seemed to turn even sadder at the advice, Lena was still hoping.
"Sure babe.", she attempted a smile before she sped ran to give her a peck on the lips before she flew away.
When she asked for one of her own vests the blue eyed hero was met with a bunch of wondering questions. Kara could only deflect them back with a "Doesn't matter why, get me a damn vest!"
"A good one!" she yelled after the agent that ran off at the order. Alex had been listening from the side seemingly disinterested while looking at her tablet until everyone cleared off.
She looked up at her sister with her hands on her hips, "Ugh, what Alex?" was Supergirl's immediate question, seeing that there was going to be questioning from her too.
Alex smiled back, "Is that any way to talk to your sister?", she received an annoyed eye roll, "Did you find anything or?"
"No, it's just that Lena asked me to wear a vest or the other suit, that's all."
Smiling approvingly at the advice, Alex wrapped a friendly arm around her taller sister's shoulders, "You've got a smart girlfriend."
Kara smiled finally at the compliment, "Don't I know it. She's amazing."
"She made you a flying car.", pointed Alex out, "When will a girl do that for me?"
Kara raised her shoulders, "I mean, there's Batwoman. She has a lot of interesting tech."
Alex smirked back at her, taking the opportunity to turn her wit back at her, "While we're at interesting tech, you should get tested. A regular one from the store will do the trick."
Kara's shoulders slumped, "Alex I told you everything about that, I'm not carrying, and you can't know if those work on me."
"Well I sort of talked to the sorceress…"
"Alex!"
"What?", Alex raised her hands defensively, "Just take the test okay?"
Kara squinted her eyes at Alex, she was hiding something. "And don't give me that look, you're not gonna look into my thoughts." Her sister added with a laugh.
Then the agent came back with the vest, they ended their conversation at Kara putting the vest on before she entered the crime scene. When she saw the holes in their stomach and all the blood, Kara ran off to throw up, which again left some of the agents around with questioning looks and jokes about her being pregnant. It didn't help that after they decided that they would look further more at the DEO into the evidence, the first thing she did was run to the nearest bathroom, to pee.
After realizing that the wounds looked awfully lot like someone burned a whole through them, Supergirl reminded them that she could very well do that with heat vision and that the agents should look out for any stray Kryptonian or a Kryptonian tech.
"Your reporter skills are getting better and better sis!" congratulated the older Danvers.
Kara raised her shoulders, "It's what I do, thank you."
"Soo…while we're are looking for the culprit, you should go home to your boss.", Alex advised with an innocent smile, leaving the Kryptonian with a hanging jaw at the sheer tenacity and a palm to her crest in dramatic offense.
"She is my girlfriend, and we have an equal relationship."
Alex laughed and waved her off, "Yeah sure, she just does you from beha-"
"Alex!"
"What?", Alex gave her another challenging smirk to which Kara responded with crossing her arms.
"I do too."
Alex made a face, then tilted her head and whispered, "She knocked you up."
Kara's only response was to throw her hands in the air and turn around, "You're so sure of that! I give up.", leaving Alex who was laughing her ass off.
"Call me if something comes up.", the blonde threw over her shoulder before shooting out the door.
Kara continued to wear the vest throughout the day next day too, when she faced some random robbers, thugs and also when she faced a gang of aliens with kryptonian laser guns.
The team had intercepted their communication and Kara was there in no time, the species was quite fast so she couldn't zip punch through them all and knock them out, she held them off, taking off few at a time until Alex's team arrived. The shots mostly scorched her forearms' suit off and a bit of her skin before she finished the job. By the time the team arrived to help clearing out, her suit looked beyond repair and even a bit of the vest was damaged. They finished the job easily though and the hero's skin healed on the flight to work, Kara Danvers had a good story a good day all in all.
Later though when she was home after work, she found Lena sitting on the edge of the bed holding her damaged suit and vest in her hands as she walked in their bedroom. Last time she saw it was when she gave it to be thrown in the garbage as they handed her a new one at the DEO.
"How did you get that?", asked Kara as she circled her arms around Lena's waist from behind, a gentle kiss on the cheek. The pain in her stomach and the need instantly dissipated.
Lena turned to look at her favourite pair of blue eyes, "They told me what happened and I asked for your suit."
"Oh…so you're tracking me?", Kara nudged Lena, a teasing smile on her face that the business woman almost never could resist.
"I just…had to know."
Kara frowned, "I tell you everything babe…"
Lena put a palm on Kara's jaw, making her tense up, "You forgot to tell me on the phone that your were almost blasted through your stomach Kara."
The blond shook her head, "It's not important, no blast reached my stomach and even the skin where it did reach is fine now-"
"Kara you were shot with a laser!", at the loud tone Kara's form tensed up again in shock, she opened her mouth to defend herself but covered it with her hand again before zooming out of the room.
When she turned around as she washed her teeth she saw the green pair of eyes looking at her, "I brought you clothes to change…",she sounded apologetic even though her form showed no sign of it.
"Thanks," said Kara before she started changing, at a normal speed, holding her stomach with a pained grimace that looked like she was about to cry. "Are you okay?" asked Lena worriedly as she walked quickly to Kara who was holding onto the sink with one hand now.
"Keep yelling and I'll be better!", sobbed the blonde back, shrugging off the arm around her shoulder. Lena stood there shocked for a few seconds, she hadn't realized how much her actions had a negative effect of the other woman until then, since the pain started it hadn't been appearing much when they were together.
She tried wrapping her arm around the taller woman's waist, it was begrudgingly accepted as they headed back into the bedroom.
Soon, a phone call later their lunch was brought to them in there by Lena's personal assistant, it was several boxes of Chinese food, she went out the door as she came in, seeing herself out as she always seemed to do the past week. As Kara relaxed against the pillows she could guess that it was 100% the healthiest the CEO could think of.
"Ugh, Lenaa." She whined when she opened one of the boxes.
"What?", asked the woman with a smirk.
"Is this all salads and healthy Chinese food?"
"Yup.", she popped as she leaned on Kara's muscular frame next to her.
"No junk food, again?", the reporter sounded like a whining toddler, which made her girlfriend grin happily.
"If you whine like that I wonder how I will ever manage to be a bad cop in front of our kids. With those genes they will probably be the cutest little things ever."
That moment of gushing stopped Kara in her tracks as she was engulfing the food, despite all the complaints.
"Lena I…", she looked down at her stomach and made a sorrowful face again, Lena intervened though, with a warm palm on the stomach.
"You don't have to look Kara.", she was happy to see the expression turn to one of wonder, as it did before. "You feel the same way I do right? When I put my hands here?" Kara nodded.
Lena leaned in and kissed her for the confirmation, Kara sucked a breath in, opening her mouth to deepen the kiss. Lena pulled on the bottom lip and put her hand on the back of her neck, dominating the kiss as best as she could from her position. She separated from her and put her forehead on Kara's.
"No matter what, I believe in you, and you should too. And don't underestimate me, and how much I love you."
Kara smiled, wanting all those words to be true, she kissed Lena back. They finished eating and after Lena cleaned up she crawled on top of her love, and so that night Kara felt all that warmth yet again after the date. Later when Lena lay naked on her shoulder, wrapped in Kara's arms, the hero knew what she would do about the next day. No fear anymore.
When Kara walked awkwardly up to the woman in the apothecary asking for no less than two dozen different pregnancy tests, she was met with an incredulous look and a smirk. That morning she even gave a sample of her DNA at the DEO for a test and sent a message to Zatanna for a meet up.
"Here, these should work on you definitely.", said the woman, handing her about only twelve tests.
"Uh, what do you mean 'on me'?"asked Kara carefully.
The woman gave her a sympathetic smile before leaning in over the counter, whispering "I hope the world will soon see another baby super.", Kara was too blushed and shocked to reply, shaking her head. She was about to protest but the woman sat back, appearing like nothing particular happened, "Move along now, I have other customers too!", she pretended to be mad and winked as Kara payed the sum.
When she came home she read all of the instructions at superspeed, and hurried to the bathroom. She was sure that Lena would be there in an hour so this would have to be quick. If they were negative…well she would need as much time as she could get to finish pitying herself before Lena found out.
"Okay, so one line for negative, two for positive…", she mumbled to herself over and over as she paced around the apartment waiting for the timer on her phone to tick off. She could see her entire future flash before her eyes, the positive and the negative versions of the scenario. The negative scenario was what she was mostly convinced and scared off. The blonde sat down on the floor next to the sink where the tests and her phone were, holding her stomach with one hand as the pain intensified with her anxiety.
Then the timer ticked off and she shot up, floating as she looked at each test carefully. The Kryptonian remained where she was, as each showed the same thing. Later Lena ran into the apartment, finding her crying on the floor, more like holding her open mouth as her tears streamed down her face automatically. She had basically ran there when she got a message from Kara – "Hurry home quick, please."
"Baby, Kara sweetie, what's wrong?", she crouched down in front of her, noticing that she was holding something in her hand she took it. Then saw that there were many others scattered across the floor, all saying the same thing. "Oh my god…", she whispered in realization. ( ||)
