Epilogue: Happily Ever After

Morgan looked at the picture. It was the centre of all photos that hung at the attic wall and it was also the largest. She smiled. Two years ago. The picture she looked at was her favorite. It showed her and Conner on their wedding day. They stood in the cornfield. Conner stood behind her and had his head against her head. She stood before him and held her bouquet, his arms fell beside her and were also holding the bouquet. The son was lowering and you saw it stroking their faces and shining in their eyes. They looked proud and so in love. They both had a small but deeply happy smile on their faces. Alex had done nothing with the picture. No playing with the colors, no retouching or anything. He had just let the picture be as is was. And Morgan loved it. Two years already, she thought and touched the ring on her necklace. Conner was, just like Clark, not allowed to wear his wedding ring to his 'work'. So Morgan wore it around her neck. They still lived with Martha and Jonathan, just like Lois and Bradley. Sometimes Morgan wished she had their own little apartment. But since Conner was still away a lot, she was happy that she lived with other people.

'Liking the picture?' she smiled when she heard his voice and turned around.
'Always,' she said and kissed him. As always, he entered through the window. He was soaked by the rain but still wrapped his arms around her.
'So, how were your days?' she asked, while he pulled of his boots.
'Not much,' he said and took his shirt of, 'Helped a bit in Russia.'
'Yeah, I saw it,' Morgan said and closed the curtains, 'How are they down there?'
'Getting there,' Conner said and rubbed his hair.
'Good,' Morgan smiled. Conner looked at her.
'I'm going to get a shower, care for joining me?' she smiled and nodded.

Morgan felt her heart beating. She just could not sleep. When was he getting home again! It had been quite a while, or did it just look like that to her? Morgan sighed and turned to her other side, again. She would be so cranky tomorrow, she already knew! Poor people, she smiled at her thought. She still worked at the library and loved it. Only not when she was cranky, but then she did not like anything. Finally she heard the window open. Conner immediately pulled of his shoes. He tried to be very quiet as he pulled of his shirt and pants and laid them down over the chair. On his toes he walked to the bed and crawled under the blanket. He kissed Morgan's head and wrapped his arm around her.
'Are you still up, baby?' he whispered.
'I am,' Morgan said and turned around. She kissed him and smiled.
'What's wrong?' he asked, still whispering.
'Conner, I,' she swallowed and sat up straight. She took a few deep breaths. Why was this so hard?
'What is it?' he asked worried and turned on the nightlight. Morgan did not look at him.
'Conner,' she said and looked his straight in the eyes, 'I'm pregnant.'
'You're what?' he felt his head getting dizzy.
'I'm pregnant,' Morgan said and smiled, 'You're going to be father.'
'Pregnant,' he still said, 'That's amazing, Morgan!'
He took her in her embrace and kissed her over and over again. Tears filled his eyes when she told him again he was going to be a father. He was going to be a father! He just could not believe it. He was so proud about it, he woke everybody up and told them the good news. Within a few hours everybody of the Justice League also knew it. He was so happy and proud he told Alex to make pictures of Morgan every month, so he could always remember how beautiful she looked when she was pregnant. And nine months passed by so quickly. Before Conner knew it, he was called by Lois and he rushed down to the hospital. He was on time. He was there when his wife gave birth to his first child. To his son. He kissed Morgan over and over again and then looked at his baby.
'I'm so blessed,' he gasped and kissed his Morgan again.

Done! Please tell me what you think of it and if there should be a part two, or what I can change about it!

lots of love MichaelaZacharias
