An affair chapter 4: Proposal
I woke up in the DEO medical wing I was wondering why I was here. Then everything hit me in a flash.
"J'onn!" I gasped I turned around to see him lying in the bed next to me
I tried to climb out of the bed but I saw that varicose tubes were attached to me. Suddenly Doctor Hamilton came in. And scolded me for trying to get out of the bed.
"How is J'onn?" I asked frantically seeing that he was still asleep.
"Your um… partner will be fine. He's just resting." He coughed awkwardly as he tried to find the right word to say to me
"There's something else you should know about when we completed the tests." He said not meeting me in the eyes
I wondered what could be so awkward for him to talk about. I looked at him in worry hoping that nothing bad had happened.
"Well we were taking your blood tests and, um we found out something that I don't think you knew about." Now I was worried before I could ask he handed me the results.
I looked at them in shock, out all of all the things that I thought could be wrong I had not expected this.
"Who knows?" I asked praying to God that no one knew
"Well most of the DEO. Practically everyone except for Director J'onzz." I looked at him and suddenly I felt warmth and love fill me. This wasn't a curse but rather a blessing.
"Thank you." I whispered to him not really knowing what I was thanking him for but he took that as a cue to leave.
I leaned over to J'onn and whispered into his ear.
"Our child will be perfect."

I woke up feeling Alex brushing my forehead lightly.
"Alex." I croaked out
"Shh J'onn, you're safe." She soothed placing her fingers on my lips
I looked up into her brown eyes which seemed to hold happiness that I hadn't seen since we had our first kiss. That sent me a flash back.
About two months ago
We ran or rather sped off into the night on the two motor bikes that Lucy and Kara had given us. I watched as Alex said goodbye to her sister. I watched wondering what I had done. Had I just ruined Alex's life?
"I'll take care of her." I promised Kara
I started up the bike and sped after Alex. Not knowing exactly where we were going except that we had to get out of city limit.
We finally were outside of the city and the sun was rising sending us into a glimmer of light. I saw that Alex was looking dead tired.
"We need to have a break." I said to her when I pulled alongside her at the next traffic light. She just nodded in consent. When I saw a motel I signalled to her to pull over.
I walked up to the room that I had got. Alex was half dead trudging up after me. The moment we were up there Alex was on her laptop. She was hacking into files trying to find where project Cadmus was.
"Alex, you need to rest." I placed my hand onto her shoulder hoping that she would go and sleep.
"I can't rest until I stop these I bastards." She snarled looking back onto the screen.
"Alex you need to rest." I said worried
"J'onn they were going to hurt you. I won't stop till they are gone." She swung around looking at me with tears in her eyes
"They were going to do horrible things with you." Suddenly I heard the table crake loudly and I saw that I had gripped it way to hard.
"J'onn could you?" She asked I didn't have to ask what she wanted, she wanted me to be as I was.
I closed my eyes and shifted. She came over and looked at me.
"You are beautiful." She whispered I didn't know if she had said it to herself or me
Suddenly I felt her kissing me. I was startled I had not expected that but instead of moving away like I should have. I stayed there. She brock of and I could see the blush in her cheeks. But instead of moving away or telling her of.
I reached up and stroked away one of her locks gently looking her in the eyes. I saw hope, relief and happiness fill her eyes.
"J'onn. I love you." She whispered
I looked at her I had never known of these hidden feelings but suddenly she gave me all of her memories ones that I knew because I was in each.
"How long?" I whispered in astonishment
"Since about the first day after training." She reached up
"I know I shouldn't feel this way, but…"
I cut her off by placing my hand on her temple and giving her all of my emotions towards her. I heard her gasp as I showed her the most important one. The one where I had revealed myself to save her. The only thought I had been thinking was that I loved her and I would stop at nothing to save her.
"J'onn." She started to cry against me her body shook and I held her tightly.
From that moment on everything had changed, we weren't boss and employee. We were just Alex and J'onn.
"Alex are you alright? You weren't hurt were you?" I asked anxious
"No, but I've got some news." She must have seen my worried glance so she added "Good news."
"What is it?"
"I'm sorry but I was second last to know and you're last. Everyone else knows about this so I'll come straight out with it." She put in hurriedly
"We're going to have a child." She breathed
I looked at her flabbergasted. Not knowing what to say. I started to stammer in Martian which she completely understood. But then she interrupted me.
"J'onn I have something ask." She looked at me
"You left a note for me saying that you were going to propose, Kara found it and brought it in for me." Se explained when I looked at her wondering how she knew about that
"Will you? Can you propose to me?" She asked me but then before I could say anything she slid the ring that had been in the letter towards me and I smiled.
"I had been planning to do this somewhere fancy." I climbed out of the bed to where Alex was sitting and I got onto my knees
"Alex Jane Danvers would you marry me?" I asked my heart hammering as I waited
"Yes! Yes!" She shouted bending down to kiss me
I slid the ring onto her finger which glittered brightly in the light, everyone by tomorrow would know that Alex and I were engaged.(It only took a few hours since one of the Doctors had seen J'onn propose.)She looked at the ring as the red stone caught the light.
"It's beautiful." She whispered
"Even though promise me that you will never ever wright a suicide note." She looked at me seriously.
"I promise. But please try not to get kidnapped so often." I added playfully.
"How long until we are allowed out?" Alex asked already impatient to go out into the world
"For everyone's sake we're letting you both out today." Doctor Hamilton appeared he was probably referring to the last time Alex had driven everyone crazy
"And may I add congratulations to you." He said brightly spotting the ring
"Thank you. Is the whole DEO already gossiping?" Alex asked
"How about you go and find out." He opened the door and left
"Are you ready?" I asked Alex
"As long as you're by my side I'm ready for anything." She grabbed my hand and we walked out to face the world.
-00-
We walked out the whole DEO clapped as they saw us emerge from the medical wing hand in hand. Kara ran up to me and gave me a huge hug and Eliza joined in.
I saw J'onn get up to the front of the DEO and I saw him motion towards me and I climbed up after him.
"Agent Danvers and I have an announcement." He started and the whole DEO medical, field and behind the scenes came out to hear our engagement.
"I and Ale… Agent Danvers and I are to be married." He announced and the whole DEO clapped and offered their congratulations.
"Oh sweetie I am so happy for you and J'onn." Mum ran up and hugged me
"Can I be the bridesmaid?!" Kara called out
"When's the wedding?" I heard one of the agents call out
I looked at J'onn and we both nodded knowing that we wanted the wedding as soon as possible. I went up to him and told him that we could book the church for two weeks' time. So we gave an approximant time.
"Lucy." I heard J'onn call out for
"Yes J'onn." She came up facing J'onn smiling happily
"Would you be my best-woman?" I was happy that he had asked her but she looked a bit surprised
"I would love to. I hadn't expected you to ask me." She agreed immediately
"You saved my future wife's life so why wouldn't I ask you, you are also the best partner I've had here for quite a while." He explained
"Hey Alex we need to find you a dress ASAP" I heard Kara's vice sound up from the crowds
"I think something with lace." I heard Vasquez pip up
"No, I think silk." Some of the other agents started to debate over what would look the best on me
"And Director J'onzz you're going to have to find a new suit." Norton shouted at him
I turned to smile at him. I walked over.
"I think that we are going to have a whole DEO planning our wedding."
"It certainly looks like it Agent J'onzz." He smiled flirtatiously with me
I pulled him in and I had forgotten that the whole DEO was watching and I heard wolf whistles and cheering fill the air as we kissed our arms wrapped tightly around each other.
"It looks like there is going to be a new news report on the front page." J'onn whispered into my ears and I laughed.
For I was beyond joyous.
