Nerves, that's what I felt right now, which increased at the moment Mon-el grabbed my hand while kissing my forehead, honestly, I think his outnumbered mine, but Alex just looked at us, instead she smiled through the scene before approaching.

"Nervous?" She asked when she reached our side to which we both nodded. "Any preference?" She asked, but we both shook our heads, though I could tell who did it.

Kon-el truly wished that one of them was a boy, it was the only thing he had been talking about for the last three weeks, he had even decided on a name, claiming that if they were both boys, that would be the first born's name, Dax-Am, a name belonging to the Kryptonian explorer who traveled to this planet and founded it. However, I was not so convinced by that name, but I preferred not to complain, since I knew it would not mind my opinion, it had never done so.

I was not going to deny it, the truth is that I had been surprised that Kon-el had not wanted to come with me, rather he had said that he had things to do, so I had taken advantage of his absence so that Mon-el could be there for the first time, which made me understand perfectly the nervousness he had.

"Can we ... uh ... can we hear theirs hearts?" He asked Alex the moment she placed the ultrasound in my belly.

"Yes, let's see how is this ... I should say this baby girl," she said at the same time I watched the smile forming on Mon-el's face, which widened when we heard her heartbeat "And this is ... a boy," she said announcing the future heir to the royal family of Daxam, which made me close my eyes while listening to his heartbeat, feeling like Mon- el stroked my face. "What surprises me is that with how big they are you don't notice a bit," said Alex to what I laughed slightly, it was true.

"It's because I'm an alien," I said, causing her laughter.

"Yes, that's Kara's favorite answer when you ask her how she eats so much and doesn't put on weight," she laughed, making me nod, since my sister gave that answer to everyone who asked her about it. "I'll leave you alone, see you in a week, okay, Kaelah?" She kissed my forehead before leaving.

I looked at Mon-el before trying to get up, making him place his hand on my shoulder so I would not, keeping me lying down while he smiled slightly at me, brushing my hair away from my face before kissing me, keeping his forehead on mine. I felt as he caressed my belly, which made me smile, it was so different from his brother, I just needed to look into his eyes to know the affection that he was transmitting.

"Hey, I don't know if you can hear me in there," he whispered, bringing his face to my belly. "It's Daddy and I may not see you born, even grow, but I want you to know that I adore you and that I'll always be there with you, For everything, no matter what." he said. "I know you'll be fine, that your mom won't let anything happen to you, that she'll take care of you, but can you promise me one thing?" he questioned at the same time that I struggled to contain the tears. "That you're going to show your mommy every day that I love her with madness, you have to do for me, okay?" he looked at me, but I had to close my eyes, because my tears could not to be contained for a longer time. "I love you both" he kissed my belly at the same time I began to sob without being able to avoid it in any way. "Kaelah, come here" he stretched his arms towards me to hug me, getting increased the strength of crying .

"I'm sorry," I whispered, feeling guilty that I was not going to be present in the lives of his children.

"No, it's not your fault, Kaelah." He grabbed my face to look at him, but I looked away. "It's not your fault, honey." He kissed my forehead and hugged me again, making me want to nod, but that feeling was not going to disappear.

I felt watched, the truth is that enough, so I was starting to get nervous, wanting to avoid making eye contact with her, forcing me to keep my head down, since I knew the news, but I preferred to keep silent until Kon-el was present, who had not yet returned. However, when I heard his voice, I forced myself to lift my head, allowing him to kiss my hair before he sat down beside me.

"Are you going to say it, Kryptonian?" Was Rhea who asked, so I nodded slightly at her question.

"It's a girl and ..." I looked at him before I finished speaking. "A boy," I completed, watching as he smiled as he placed his hand on my belly.

"Dax-Am, future heir to the Royal Family of Daxam," he pointed at me, as if he was expecting me to say something about it, but I was not going to do it. "What will our princess be called?" He questioned, getting me to look surprised, he was giving me the opportunity to choose her name, which I certainly did not think would happen.

"Kaia," I replied, looking at how he nodded, agreeing with the election, though I could not say the same about his mother, who was looking at us without saying anything about it.

"It's okay with me, Dax-Am and Kaia, then." He brushed the hair off my face, which made me pull my head down.

"Can I go to sleep?" I asked, wanting to leave, watching as he nodded slightly, so I got up to leave, heading for the room.

I lay down on the bed without intending to fall asleep, but to relax before everything happened, wanting to avoid me crying the moment I remembered Mon-el's happiness when he first heard the beating of his children, as he had wanted to say goodbye to them in case he did not see them again, sincerely, made me feel guilty that I could not be with them.

I opened my eyes the moment I heard him come in, watching him, focusing my attention on his tight jaw, indicating that he was angry.

"Have you been with Mon-el?" He asked as I sat up, trying not to give an answer. "Answer, no lies, Kaelah" he came up to me, causing me to swallow, since he only used my name when he was really angry with me. " Do not even tell me you didn't." He showed me an image corresponding to the moment when Mon-el had kissed me.

"My sister has had to leave and he has offered to stay with me," I tried to explain, knowing it had not been that way.

"And you agreed," he looked at me seriously.

"Why shouldn't I? These babies are still his family, "I said, watching as he shook his head.

"He's a traitor, the same thing I should say about you, but the difference is that you didn't know it, so I can't do it," he said, getting me to look at him questioningly. "He knew who you were and what your destiny was, I can not judge you by falling into his charms, but he was aware that what he was doing was wrong and continues to do, "he explained." I'm sorry, but I think we're going to return to Daxam without him, at last is what he wants, "he assured finally to what I bent the head beginning to cry.

"Your mother said that ..." I tried to speak, Mon-el was the only thing that tied us here.

"I'll talk to her, nothing's going to happen," he interrupted me while I shook my head. "Calm down, you're going to have a chance to say goodbye to each one of them, including him, without any kiss" he hugged me, rather made the attempt, but I turned away.

"You can not do this," I sobbed, burying my face in my hands.

"You want me to kill him?" He asked, looking at him completely terrified at his proposal. "No, right?" He arched an eyebrow. "Then stop making things difficult," he looked at me.

"He's your brother," I said. "You really would not have any regrets about staining your hands with his blood?" I asked, swallowing my sobs.

"He's a traitor," he rectified grabbing my face. "If I do, I'll make sure you remember it every day," he said. "Is there anything that keeps me from doing it? I think it's a better option than leaving him alive, "he said.

"I love him," I murmured, wanting to avoid being heard, but he lifted my chin again.

"What did you say?" He looked into my eyes and I knew I did not have to answer him, but I still opened my mouth. "Don't say it," he warned, but I had already said it. "I told you not to say it" he slapped me.

At that moment I closed my eyes, bringing my hand to my cheek before looking at him again, seeing the needle in his hand, which made me shake my head, for I would not allow him to hurt them, so I fought everything I could against him, but he managed to immobilize me, ending by nailing it to my neck.

I sobbed feeling as he was hugging me, which made me struggle, but I was too weak to get anything, letting myself be carried away by unconsciousness.

I looked at my sister in confusion, trying to understand the information she had just given me, but the truth was that it was complicated and the sight of her and Maggie so upset did not make it any easier. I wanted to help them, I knew they needed my help, but I had persuaded Kon-el to leave me alone for half an hour and always with my sister, to do it for a longer time. However, what were the rules for if it was not to break them? In addition if finding Alex depended on them, I could be sure that we were not going to get anything, since they were much more worried to see who of the two was right, than in finding something.
