CHAPTER TWO
Four hours ago…
"Director Danvers. I have a lead on the alien we've been looking for. It seems he's been frequenting thing abandoned warehouse."
"Thanks, Brainy". Alex checked her watch. She still had a couple of hours before she told Lena she would be home. "I'll go and check it out." Since Alex had become Director of the DEO, she didn't get out in the field as much as she used to and sometimes, she missed it. Lena preferred her wife to never go out in the field again, but she knew that wasn't realistic.
"Shall I call Supergirl?"
"No need. I'll just take a couple of agents with me, we shouldn't be long." Alex said, mapping out the coordinates of the warehouse. "Miller! Wills! You're with me."
Two young agents came running over, "Yes Director Danvers."
Alex drove one of the DEO SUV's to the warehouse site. She smiled to herself as she heard the agents in the back-seat whisper about being able to go on a mission with the Director of the DEO. She smiled to herself; sometimes she liked instilling fear and awe into the new generation of DEO agents.
When they approached the warehouse, Alex gave further instructions "You two case the outside and I will see if I can find anything inside."
"Yes Director." They said in unison.
Alex made her way inside the warehouse and noticed that it was completely empty. She made her way through it trying to find any evidence that the alien they were looking for had been there.
As Alex carefully made her way through upon her next step, she noticed a click sound. She quickly froze on the spot. "Shit" she muttered to herself. She had stepped on a bomb trigger to could tell. She barely had time to react as a five second countdown echoed in the abandoned warehouse.
"Abort! Bomb!" Alex yelled into her comm. She ran as fast as she could out of the building. Next thing Alex knew she was being thrown into the air from the force of the bomb.
And then everything went black.

Present day…
Lena walked in to the med bay with Kara beside her. Alex, her beautiful Alex was lying there looking so fragile; something Lena rarely saw. She was quickly at her wife's side, grabbing a hold of her hand. Alex had always been awake by the time Lena had got to her, telling her not to worry. Alex wasn't awake to tell her that this time.
"I'm so sorry Lena." Kara said to her as she sat next to her.
"What am I going to tell EJ?" Lena whispered.
"That her mom is Sleeping Beauty. Or Snow White?" Kara offered.
"I'd rather she just wakes up." Lena said, leaning in close to Alex's ear, "Please wake up baby." She whispered to her wife.

Four years ago…
"Wake up baby." Lena whispered into Alex's ear.
Alex opened one eye and then quickly shut it when the morning sun hit her. She wrapped a bare arm around her wife. "need more sleep." She muttered, snuggling further into the blankets.
"Alex, I think it's time."
"Time? Time for what? Oh, time for it?"
Lena smiled, "It won't be an it for much longer."
Alex shot out of bed, tripping over herself as she grabbed her clothes on the way to the bathroom. "I'll grab the go-bag and you just get yourself to the car!" Alex shouted through the bathroom door.
"Alex honey calm down. These things can take hours. We have plenty of time." Lena slowly got up and looked around for something to change into. Everything she did these days was slow, being nine months pregnant and all.
Alex came out of the bathroom struggling to put her left leg in a pair of jeans. "Babe, I don't want to be one of those people on the news that have to give birth in the back of a cab or on the subway or something like that."
Lena laughed, "well the driver is going to take us to the hospital, we aren't taking a cab or the subway and if something goes wrong, we can always call Kara."
"Kara! I'm going to call Kara!"
"Tell her to meet us at the hospital." Lena winced as another contraction hit her.
Alex ran to her wife, "I'll call her in the car, let's get going."
Lena rolled her eyes as Alex took her hand and helped her to the car.
Nine hours later Eliza Jane Luthor-Danvers was born.
*AGENTCORP*
Present day…
Lena was brought out of her thoughts by a slight squeeze of her hand. "Alex, honey wake up for me. Wake up for EJ, please." It had been a couple of hours since she Lena had come to the DEO and thankfully, EJ was still being entertained by her Uncle Brainy. "Kara, I think she's waking up."
Alex began to move uncomfortable in the bed. Before opening her eyes, she spoke, "Kara why does everything hurt so much?"
Kara smiled, "You were in an explosion."
Alex slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. Kara was standing to her right. So, who was holding her left hand? She turned her head and quickly pulled her hand away.
"Kara! You told a Luthor that you're Supergirl?"
"Alex, Lena has known for years that I'm Supergirl." Lena frowned; something was going on here.
Alex say up and rubbed her temples, she had a killer headache. She was completely ignoring Lena, "Kara, where's Maggie?"
"Maggie!?" Both Lena and Kara exclaimed.
"You didn't tell my Fiancé that I was in an accident?"
Before Lena had a chance to say anything EJ came bounding in the door. "Mommy!" She exclaimed before running to Alex's arms. Confusion was written all over her face. "Are you done work can we go home now?"
Alex held the young girl in her arms. "Who are you?"
