Chapter 8 – 3 months later

Now into her fourth month, the baby was still wreaking havoc on her body. She didn't have morning sickness, but her body wasn't the same. She was constantly tired, she would nap three or four times a day. She was always hungry and meat seemed the only food that would satisfy.

She often thought of the family she left behind, but she knew that her child was the safest right where she was. She remembered how she felt when she first arrived. She was heartbroken, but she knew she needed to be strong for her child. She needed to get over the heartbreak and worry about her son or daughter. Diana was being strong, but it was as if a light was extinguished inside her. She merely existed. It was the only way she could continue, she had to forget about Kal and think only of the innocent child growing in her womb.

Diana touched her baby bump, "It's just you and me now, little one." A booming voice was heard behind her, "Don't forget Uncle Thor, Diana!"

Diana smiled, "How could I?"

Thor was a wonderful host and always ready to provide her anything she should request. She was grateful he has been so kind and patient with her.

Clark walked back into the Watchtower. Today would mark one month since Lois had her miscarriage. He remembered that day like it was yesterday. When Clark brought Lois to the Watchtower, J'onn told them the sad truth, Lois' body would never be strong enough to sustain Clark's offspring. After the miscarriage, he wanted J'onn to see what had gone wrong. Clark had to face the truth, he would never have a child.

As he watched the monitors, he received a call.

"Watchtower"

"Superman, oh thank goodness, It's Donna." I wonder why Diana's sister is calling, he thought.

"Hi Donna, what's wrong?"

"I need to speak to Diana, is there any way you could connect me to her?" she asked.

"Can't you just go see her?" answered Clark.

"How can I see her?" asked Donna.

"I don't know, but if she's on Themyscira, can't you just go and see her?" This conversation was getting weirder. Why couldn't Donna contact Diana. Was something wrong?

"Themyscira? Superman you were there when she was banished! She is not allowed back."

"Wait a minute, Donna she told me the banishment was removed, she said she was needed at home. Are you saying she is not there?" Clark was becoming increasingly upset.

"Of course she isn't there, I just came from there. She is on a deep space mission, I know that it is sometimes difficult to contact , but could you please try?"

"Donna, no one is on a deep space mission, no one is on a mission. Where is Diana?"

"What are you talking about, she told Mother she was on a mission, she is not on Themyscira, Superman, where is my sister?" Donna was upset.

"I don't know where she is Donna, last time I talked to her she said she was needed back home, and wasn't sure when she would be back…."like a lightning bolt Clark jumped from his seat, "she lied."

"Superman, Diana doesn't lie." It was a known fact, she was honest, brutally so.

"I was mad at her, she was trying to tell me something, she lied… to me," he slowly sat back in the chair and put his head in his hands. "Diana lied, to me and to your mother."

As Clark continued to think about what she said that day four months ago, he realized there was someone he should talk to. His thoughts were interrupted by Donna. "Superman, I have to talk to Mother, if you find her please call me." Donna hung up.

Clark called the only person he could think of to help him. "J'onn can you come to the monitor room please."

J'onn walked into the room, he honestly thought this day would have come sooner. He just hoped Diana and her child were safe.

"Superman, I know you have some questions, but perhaps we should wait until Queen Hippolyta and Donna arrive."

"What are you talking about?"

"They are at the Embassy now, Batman is about to transport them, he will join us when they arrive."

"You know where she is, don't you?" Clark asked.

"It's best we wait as I am sure you all will have many questions."
