A/N: Turns out I am an idiot and I forgot to post a kind of important chapter in this. So I have inserted it at chapter 23, pushing what was 23, 24 and 25 to 24, 25 and 26. If parts of this chapter don't make sense you may want to go back to 23.
"Kara sweetie, how are you?" Eliza asked as she let go of her suitcases and hugged her adopted daughter.
"I'm good." Kara smiled before pulling away and saying. "Eliza I'd like you to meet my mom." With that she stepped back allowing Eliza to see Alura. "And mom, this is Eliza, the woman who took me in and raised me as her own daughter."
"I will forever be indebted to you." Alura said hugging Eliza.
"Kara did more for us than we did for her." Eliza said before pulling away and going to her bags. "I have plenty more back in Midvale, but I thought you might like some of these." She said handing a shoe box to Alura. As Alura lifted the lid Eliza explained. "They are photos and art projects Kara did after she came."
"You still have those?" Kara asked before noticing a small china figure in the box. "I can't believe you kept this."
"What is it?" Alura asked looking at the disfigured figurine.
"Kara's first successful pottery work. She was so proud of being able to control her powers enough to make it." Eliza explained.
"Thank you." Alura said as she looked over the rest of the box feeling both pride and sadness.
"Any time you want to come to Midvale you are more than welcome." Eliza assured her before noticing Adam enter the hallway. Going to him she hugged him and said. "Congratulations."
"Thanks." He replied.
As Eliza released him she noticed the quietness and asked. "Where's Elle?"
"With Alex. They're just taking Krypto for a walk. They'll be back soon." Kara said as they walked to the lounge.
"How's Elle adjusting?" Eliza asked.
"She's deeply cynical, but less grumpy than she was." Adam said. "But since we followed mom's suggestion of including her in the process she seems to have taken in better."
"That's good." Eliza said before seeing the woman in question sitting on the couch and greeted. "Hello Cat."
"Eliza." Cat nodded.
"Congratulations on the award. You seemed to enjoy giving the acceptance speech." Eliza said.
"Not as much as I will enjoy publishing my article on it." Cat replied as Eliza saw Maggie.
"Hello." Eliza smiled warmly before hugging the detective.
"Hi." Maggie said hugging back.
Eliza then released Maggie and turned back to Kara and said. "I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks." Kara smiled.
"How is the morning sickness?"
"Just about gone."
"And the memory?"
"Doesn't seem as bad as last time."
"Only because you can't remember what you forget." Maggie pointed out.
"That's not funny." Kara countered, glaring at Adam when she noticed he was laughing.
"On the bright side she is craving vegetables. So her diet is way better than normal." Adam said as he wrapped an arm round her.
"Craving vegetables?" Eliza asked.
"I have great hope that he is going to actually like real food." Adam explained.
"He?" Eliza asked.
"Yeah, sorry I forgot to tell you. Normal forgetting, not pregnancy forgetting. We're having a boy." Kara said.
"That's wonderful. What made you find out this time?" Eliza asked.
"That was Elle's choice." Kara explained. "We took her to the scan."
"Unfortunately that isn't stopping her freak out over Kara's eating habits." Adam said. "When we caught her snacking on raw sprouts yesterday Elle was so worried she wanted to call Alex."
"Plus side it is giving Elle ideas for names...like sprout." Maggie pointed out.
"At least Elle won't be naming the poor kid." Eliza said.
"I assume you don't know then." Cat said.
"Know what?" Eliza asked.
"They've tasked Elle with naming him." Cat explained.
"You have? Why?" Eliza asked.
"To make her feel included." Kara said.
"It's very...trusting." Eliza pointed out.
"We trust Elle to make a good choice." Kara said.
"Failing that there is always his nick name to save him." Maggie pointed out as the front door opened and closed. Moments later Eliza found herself being tightly hugged by Elle.
"Hello Sweetie." Eliza greeted. "How are you?"
"I'm in charge of naming." Elle said proudly.
"I've heard." Eliza said. "That's a lot of responsibility."
"I know. Don't worry, I'm researching it properly." Elle said.
"Researching?" Eliza asked.
"Yeah, looking into meanings and history."
"And what have you found?" Eliza asked.
"I'm still working on my list."
"What's on there so far?"
"Theodoric, Clovis, Odoacer, Genseric, Attila, Alaric, Napoleon, William Cyrus, Julius, Alexander and Arminius...oh and Zod." Elle listed.
"Zod?" Alura quietly asked Kara who looked confused.
"That's an unusual list." Eliza commented as Cat smiled.
"What?" Adam asked sensing he was missing something.
"It seems that Elle has been taking her research seriously." Cat said semi-proudly.
"What do you mean?" Kara asked.
"All those names are the names of invaders." Cat explained.
"Lena warned you the baby is going to pay for your decision." Maggie said.
"Why invaders?" Adam asked.
"Because he's invading the family." The comment causing guilt to wash over Kara and Adam.
"On Krypton it was believed that names had great power and would shape the destiny of those the name was bestowed on." Alura said. "So perhaps you should think of names that reflect what you would like your brother to be be rather than what you fear he'll be."
