They had been trying for over a month now.

It had been two years into Alex and Maggie's wedding and they decided that they were ready for their first child. Maggie had been particularly excited, as one of their past conversations it was decided she'd be the one to carry them. At least twice a week, Maggie would come home and inject herself with the vial Lena had created for the couple. It was 100% Maggie and Alex's DNA, made for the creation of their baby.

Finally, the day had come.

It was a Tuesday afternoon, and Maggie had gone home early from work, feeling nauseous. She thought she had caught something from helping sick kids after an Infernian attacked at their school a couple of days ago. It hit her while she was sitting on the couch. Could I really be? Lena was working on making more of the DNA after Maggie had run out of the small vial, but it took days. She hadn't injected herself in almost two weeks, and hadn't had a period when she was supposed to get it last week.

Going into the cabinet of the bathroom, she pulled out another pregnancy test, assuming the worst. Waiting was the hardest part, and the ten minutes it took for the test to show felt like ten hours. She had gone to drink some water and eat a snack, but still had another five minutes before the results were ready.

She walked over to the sink, expecting to see another negative test result when it startled her.

Positive.

Maggie had a rush of emotions and doubts, thinking it could be a false positive or some kind of fluke. This can't be real. Maggie paced around, staring at the pregnancy test before deciding to call Alex.

"Brainy, Winn, I need a lock on that Durlan."

"We're doing it as fast as we can! Even Brainy's having trouble finding her."

A Durlan had broken loose trying to get to the president. President Marsdin had told them that she had some bad blood back on Durla, and it had been the DEO's job to protect her while keeping her safe inside.

Alex felt her phone buzzing. Seeing it was Maggie, she motioned for J'onn to watch their progress.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Are you busy?"

"No, J'onn's watching over Winn and Brainy, apparently a Durlan's trying to kill the president and the government is asking us to keep her inside until we find her."

"I know I usually don't ask this, but is there any way you can find the time to come home? I need you and Kara to check something."

"Yeah I'll be right over. Is everything alright?"

"I think so."

"Alright let me call Kara, we'll be over the house in a couple of minutes."

A couple of minutes ended up being all of thirty seconds. Alex had called Kara, and the latter swept her up and flew her back to their house.

"Maggie, is everything alright?" Kara and Alex walked into the room concerned, Alex's gun drawn in case there was any trouble. They found Maggie to be sitting on the couch.

"Kara, I need you to check something. Or listen to something."

"Okay yeah, what is it?"

"I need you to listen for a heartbeat."

It took a second for Alex and Kara to realize what she was implying, and Kara's eyes widened.

"Maggie? What are you saying?" The concerned look on Alex's face turned into a grin.

"Hold on." Kara quieted Alex and listened. One, mine. Two, Alex's. Three, Maggie's. Four… She heard a rapid thumping, and realized where the sound was coming from. Kara leaned closer into Maggie before squealing.

"Maggie, I guess you have some news to tell us!"

Maggie smiled and turned to Alex, now sitting on the couch. Taking Alex's hands into her own, her own smile turned into a grin.

"I'm pregnant."

"We're having a baby?"

"We're having a baby."

Alex pulled Maggie into a hug before the latter motioned for Kara to join in.

"I'm going to be an aunt!"

Kara didn't realize how hard she was squeezing her sisters until they both coughed.

"Little Danvers, baby inside!"

"Oh, sorry Maggie!"

That afternoon turned into an impromptu party, where Eliza and the Superfriends came by to congratulate the newly expecting couple. Eliza was over the moon about her first grandchild, and so was J'onn. Winn, James, Kara and Lena talked about how they would be the coolest uncles and aunts, and Maggie and Alex were savoring the amazing family that they had.

Later that night, Alex pulled Maggie into a deep kiss before laughing. Realization struck her and she was gleaming at the idea of their child.

Maggie looked over at Alex and stroked her hair. "You're going to be a great mom." She was crying, but this time, it was tears of joy.

Alex cried too, realizing the last time she said it. She smiled, facing her wife.

"So are you."
