"Is mom sick?" Elle asked as Adam led her into the DEO.
"No."
"Then why are we here?"
"Because we want you to see something." Adam said. "It's a good thing though."
"You've said that before." Elle muttered as they approached J'onn's office.
"Hello Elle." J'onn said, hearing their approach.
"Hi." She said, her voice full of suspicion.
"Just wait with J'onn for a few minutes okay?" Adam said looking down at his daughter.
"Okay." Elle said fearing more bad news.
"Good girl." Adam said, hugging her before leaving.
"So Elle, how about helping me with the desk inspections?" J'onn suggested.
"Desk inspections?" Elle asked.
"Ensuring there is no contraband on them." J'onn explained.
"Contraband?" Elle asked confused.
"Banned objects." J'onn clarified.
"What happens if there is?" Elle asked.
"The items are confiscated and the Agent punished."
"Cool, can I keep the con..contraband?" Elle asked.
"It depends how much we find." J'onn said, leading her to the control room.

"Hey." Adam said entering the medical room.
"Hi." Kara smiled as she lay on the bed talking to Alex.
"Sorry I'm late, Elle was dragging her feet."
"Blaming your daughter? Really?" Alex asked unimpressed.
"Where's Elle now?" Kara asked.
"With J'onn."
"He has a special treat for her." Alex said. "So you ready?"
"Are we?" Kara asked reaching out her hand for Adam.
"I think so." He said moving to her side and tightly holding her hand.
"Okay, then." Alex said. "You remember the drill?"
"Yes." Kara said lifting her top as Alex turned on the screen before applying the gel to Kara's stomach. She then ran the probe of Kara as Adam and Kara waited for confirmation from Alex that everything was okay. After what felt like an eternity Kara, getting worried, prompted.
"Alex? Is something wrong?"
"No. Everything is fine." Alex said looking from the screen to her sister, who sagged in relief.
"You sure?" Adam asked.
"See for yourself." Alex said angling the screen round. She then watched for a minute as Kara and Adam stared at the screen with goofy grins. "Do you want me to get Elle?" Alex asked.
"No, I'll do it." Adam said forcing his eyes away from the screen and kissing Kara before leaving the room.

"You ready?" Adam asked when he returned to J'onn's office and saw Elle playing with toys, whilst eating cookies. "What's going on?"
"It's my bounty." She said happily.
"Bounty?" Adam asked.
"Elle has been helping with the inspections." J'onn said.
"Right." Adam said confused before looking at Elle and asking. "You ready?"
"I guess." She said unenthusiastically.
"Come on then." He said taking her hand.
"Where are we going?" She asked as he led her through the DEO.
"To see mom."
"This is the infirmary." Elle said recognising the corridor.
"Yeah." Adam said opening a door.
"You said mom wasn't sick." Elle said when they entered the room and she saw Kara on a bed.
"I'm not." Kara promised her as Adam lifted her up and put her on the bed.
"Then why are you here? Why is Alex testing you?"
"I'm not testing your mom. I am testing the baby."
"Is it okay?" Elle asked.
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Alex said pointing to the screen.
"What's that?" Elle asked.
"That's the baby." Alex explained.
"You sure?" Elle asked not seeing anything that resembled a baby on the screen.
"That's the head." Alex said pointing to the screen.
"It looks weird." Elle commented.
"Do you want to hear it?" Kara asked before nodding to Alex who turned on the speaker.
"That's the heartbeat." Alex explained.
"Why's it so fast?" Elle asked.
"That's normal for a baby." Alex explained as Elle watched the screen.
"But now the real reason you are here." Adam said.
"What?" Elle asked turning to face him.
"You have a decision to make. Would you like to know if it is going to be a brother or sister?" Adam asked.
"What if I say no?"
"Then none of us, except Alex, will know until it is born." Adam said.
"What do you want?" Elle asked looking at her parents.
"That doesn't matter. This is your choice." Kara said.
"Okay, what is it?" Elle asked looking at the screen.
"It's a boy." Alex said.
"It is?" Elle asked unconvinced.
"It is." Alex confirmed. "You are going to have a baby brother."
"How would you like to name him?" Kara asked Elle.
"Me?" Elle asked.
"Yes you." Adam said.
"Anything I want?" Elle asked.
"Yes." Adam replied before attempting emotional blackmail. "Because we trust that you will pick a good name for him and make us proud."
