História Super Secret (Not So Much) - Frustrations.

Lena sighed heavily as she sat next to Kara's bed, she was tired, and exhausted emotionally and physically. Her mother had fatally shot Kara in the chest with a kryptonite bullet. a bullet that had been meant for her.

no doubt the kryptonite would have harmed her in more ways than just simply feeling pain from being shot. She probably would have lost the baby.

Lena released another breath, she turned to the side and saw Kara's face. the Blonde's been out for four days already, no signs that she'd be waking up anytime soon. Her heart ached terribly, she was afraid, afraid that she'd lose her light once again, that she'd be left all alone.

Lena leaned in and pressed a soft kiss against the Blonde's cheek, she pulled away and tears rolled down her eyes, "Khap Zhao Rrip, Khuhtiv Zhaol", Lena said softly, she sniffled softly and held onto Kara's hand.

"You learned Kryptonese?", came a voice.

Lena was startled and snapped her head to the door, she found a familiar Danvers staring at her with slight awe.

the Luthor turned away and looked at the unconscious kryptonian that lay in front of her. "Not exactly. Just some words and phrases.", the CEO admitted.

Lena hadn't seen a Danvers since her talk with Eliza, Kal had become super protective of her since Kara slipped away into unconsciousness, going as far as to take a break from work to remain in National City, he had been staying in Kara's home for the meantime. Jess became aware of what happened to The female super, she was quick to jump up and give Lena all the support she needed, going as far as to force Lena to eat if she noticed that the Luthor was starting to push her food away.

"I See.", Alex said, she turned back and found J'onn standing by.

J'onn's presence around Lena also seemed to increase a great deal, he seemed to be taking on a protective role in Lena's life as well, seeing as the Luthor was pregnant with Kara's child, he felt the need to help in anyway he could.

J'onn gave the brunette a look of approval, and Alex turned back around and entered the room, the door shutting.

"Um. Have you eaten?", the Danvers woman fidgeted a bit, she felt slightly awkward.

Lena nodded, "I'm not hungry", she said as she used her thumb to caress the back of the super's hand.

Alex's facial expression softened considerably, "Ms. Luthor, You have to eat something."

"I'm not hungry", the woman replied more firmly, she turned to Alex and practically glared, cheeks stained with tear tracks.

Alex stepped back slightly, intimidated, but she shook it off and stood her ground, "Please, You have to eat. You're pregnant, You need to have something"

Lena kept her gaze hard, she clicked her tongue and looked down to her hand and Kara's, "I get nauseous, I've tried to eat but it comes back up."

Alex looked slightly alarmed by this, "For how long? what have you been eating?"

Lena turned to her, "Salads-"

"That's the problem Ms. Luthor.", Alex quickly concluded, she knew that Kryptonian's needed a lot more than two or three leafs, Kryptonians needed a lot of calories, "It's not dense enough, it's being rejected.", Alex had a feeling that Lena would be that type of person.

Lena gave the woman a skeptical look, "when I first came to realize I was pregnant I craved Burgers, but every time I ate them, it just came back up, Salads and light food helped"

Alex stepped closer, "The baby was just first developing, you're what? 6 to 7 weeks now? You have about 7 to 8 weeks left before you're due, now that the baby's coming along, you're going to need stuff with more carbs, more dense and packed with calories."

the Luthor sighed, "Maybe."

Alex gave Kara's body a sad glance, she released a breath, She probably wouldn't have wanted Kara to be around the Luthor before, but seeing how Lena cared for the blonde genuinely with her own eyes for the first time just opened her eyes, and on top of everything, Lena was pregnant with the kryptonian's child. Alex loved Kara, so in turn she had to love the baby Lena was carrying. It would be family. and that was something Kal-El so greatly stressed when Lena was off and working at L-Corp. and everyone stood behind at the DEO to discuss how to move further with the situation. Kal remained firm that Lena was family whether or not she and Eliza or anyone else liked it.

Lena was Kara's Mate, bonded or not.

"Um, Wanna walk with me? Just, to get you something dense enough, we can see if it stays down.", Alex asked.

Lena rose an eyebrow, she sighed and shrugged, "I guess.", she stood up and let go of the blonde's hand.

Alex knew she'd have a role in Lena's life now, J'onn and Kal had settled into theirs, Even Winn and Lucy made sure to keep tabs on the Luthor. Eliza was no doubt going to start playing the 'grandmother' role by checking up on the soon to be mother. It seemed like the Supers and Luthor's first child would no doubt bring them together. It was either they got in the picture, or leave it.

Kal was firm with his words, stating that Lena was going to mother Kara's child, and if they didn't like it, they were free to leave the picture or he'd make them if he felt that someone was giving Lena trouble.

The Man of Steel showed sides of himself that not even James had seen. It was clear that Clark was taking things serious and he genuinely accepted Kara's choice in mate. To Clark, Lena wasn't just some Luthor, Lena was now an Honorary Member of the house of El.

The coming of the Baby kryptonian was either going to tear them all apart; or pull them closer together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Lillian's Been silent, too silent.", J'onn said suspiciously.

Winn nodded, he was typing on his computer, "We were kept in the dark about Kara and Lena's relationship, we didn't even know Lena was pregnant with Kara's kid to be. Yet somehow she knows, or knew. Heck the press doesn't even know, Lena's been careful enough to avoid getting outed.", The male said as he stopped typing and spun around on his chair to face J'onn.

J'onn nodded, "Lillian's been watching Lena for past few months, watching her closely since the invasion."

Winn released a breath. "That lady is crazy", the man merely muttered.

"She's up to something.", J'onn sighed out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eliza sighed out heavily, she certainly didn't expect to come back and have all this happen, Kara being shot, Kara secretly seeing someone, but most of all, Kara getting said secret lover pregnant. It was all quite shocking. Kal-El being in the picture as well, playing protector to the Luthor woman.

She had a deep conversation with Lena, the woman was clearly distressed by what her mother had done to the super. The Luthor was genuinely worried and hurt, concerned that Kara wouldn't survive, that Kara would die.

Lena was constantly showing up at the DEO med bay to see the kryptonian and how she was doing. The CEO was clearly stressed.

"So, Kara made you a grandmother first huh?", Lucy said as she leaned against the lab desk.

Eliza looked up from where she was silently thinking, "Yeah, It seems"

Lucy smiled sadly, "I can imagine how happy Kara must have been when she first found out. The way Superman put it, it sounded like Kara was through the roof with happiness.". Arms crossed over her chest, she sighed softly.

Eliza nodded and smiled sadly as well, "It's definitely something Kara would be happy about. Especially since it seems apparent that She truly loved Lena."

the Lane nodded, "I can't believe she managed to keep her hidden this long though, Kara was always so bad at keeping secrets.", Lucy couldn't help but point out.

The older woman chuckled softly, "Yeah, she was horrible at keeping secrets. But I guess she managed to pull one over us after all."

It shocked Eliza to learn that not even Alex was aware, everyone suspected Kara was seeing someone, but not who, and definitely not a woman she knocked up.

"What's going to be done about the Luthor", Eliza asked suddenly, facial expression hardened.

"Lillian?", Lucy asked.

Eliza merely nodded.

Lucy straightened up, "J'onn's been interrogating her, but Luthor's been sure to stay silent, she only uttered a few discriminating comments towards aliens, but that's about it."

The Danvers narrowed her eyes slightly, "that woman", she said bitterly."

Lucy nodded, "She's cruel."

This Eliza came to find out from her talk with Lena as well. The young Luthor explained how she never managed to get Lillian's approval for anything, how the woman always casted her aside, only coming back into her life to wreak havoc.

The Older Danvers felt sympathy towards the ravenette, she found out just how Much Lena had lost out on when it came to family and friends.

Kara was all Lena had, and Lena was utterly happy when she and Kara were able to move forwards as something more. Eliza could see the sparks in the Luthor's eyes, just how happy she was to be with the blonde, and also be carrying their child.

Eliza wouldn't have trouble warming up to the Luthor because she knew she could trust her, anyone that held that kind of Love towards Kara, was worth the effort.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"you feel anything?", Alex asked as she observed the ravenette, both were making their way to L-Corp's top floor.

Lena nodded, "No, it stood down actually."

Alex sighed in relief. "at least. listen, you gotta make sure you're getting something dense in okay, the majority of the food goes to the baby, so i don't think you'll gain too much weight."

Lena nodded, "I won't gain much I know, Kal and Kara figured that out. I was always able to keep sweets down, food was a bit harder.", she turned to Alex.

Alex for once, met the gaze head on, she hummed, "Oh", Alex smiled sheepishly, "Kryptonians always do have a thing for sweets"

Lena smiled as well, she faced forwards, a small sigh escaping her lips. "Yeah they do.", She began to think of all the times Kara and Kal pigged out on snacks, from Cake, brownies to cookies and ice cream. The aliens were truly ones for sweets. Lena felt a smile of sadness creep onto her lips, she missed Kara so much, she missed seeing those sheepish awkward smile and confident grins, waking up in those strong arms and feeling Kara's lips against her own. the Luthor's eyes unconsciously released tears, they rolled down her cheeks, the woman stopped in her tracks and brought a hand up to wipe her tears.

Alex caught this, she felt her chest tighten, she could tell that Lena had genuine feelings for Kara, the CEO was trying so hard not to fall apart at the seams, everyone was banding together to hold the pregnant Luthor together Whether it was Winn with the lighthearted jokes, Kal with his constant appearance of security and comfort, Jess with her constant nagging about how Lena has to eat something, Lucy with reassurances that Kara would be fine or James and his Guardian Antics, sharing his stories of crime stopping gone wrong with the Luthor. The group was trying to hold it together while not going wild themselves, Kal was furious about Lillian's actions, and Alex was so close to breaking into the Luthor's cell, ready to put a bullet in her head.

It had been a stressful week.

"Hey, Hey", Alex spoke softly as she turned to the Luthor, she put her hands on the Luthor's shoulders and gave soft squeezes, "relax, It's not good to be under so much stress."

Lena sobbed softly, she was hurting emotionally, she was furious, she secretly wanted to kill her mother, but reframed because she knew it wasn't Something Kara would want her to do.

the Luthor didn't respond, she merely whimpered softly, burying her face into her hands.

Alex felt her chest tighten, she felt her sisterly instincts kick in, she pulled the Luthor into her arms and held her, she felt the baby bump against her stomach, she smiled sadly, Her sister was going to be a parent, her sister made her an Aunt. "It's going to be okay, Kara's strong. She'll pull through", Alex felt Lena lean into her, Alex put a hand on the Luthor's back, she gave soft gently comforting rubs, "It'll all be okay."

Lena and Alex parted Ways once she made it to the Office, Jess already shooting looks at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jess and her odd need to feed her.

Lena smiled softly, "I already ate Jess.", She said.

Jess rose a skeptical eyebrow, "Really?"

Lena nodded, "Yes, really. I went to Dave's and had something from that buffet court."

"I see. well okay, do tell me if you feel like you want something else", Jess offered.

The CEO nodded, she felt blessed to have such a trustworthy Worker.

The Luthor chuckled, "Alright Jess."

with that, she entered her office and just got straight into work, a good three hours into her work and she found herself trying to keep out any negative thoughts.

She had to try and be positive, Kara was strong, she was going to make it. She had to, for her sake, and for the baby's.

She just knew Kara would wake up soon.

After all they've been through to be together, all the trust issues Kara and Lena had to get over, all the mild arguments they had and Late night promises they made.

Lena felt her chest tighten, Kara would make it, Lena had to repeat to herself.

Suddenly the Luthor then felt a sharp pain in her belly, she winced, she leaned back into her chair.

"Nngh", She hissed slightly through her teeth.

the pain left as it came.

for a moment the Luthor kept an eyebrow risen. She looked down to her ever growing baby bump, she rose a hand and put it over her belly, rubbing the bump.

Lena winced again as she felt it another time, eyes widened for a moment and the pain left as quick as it came. The Luthor wore a confused look, but third time's the charm after all, it was enough to scare her, she felt another pang of pain and she shot up from her chair so fast and hard the chair fell back.

"Nngh!", eyebrows knit together in pain. "Jess! Jess!", the Luthor began to shout as her facial expression began to scrunch up in pain, she held onto the side of her desk while her other hand was over her belly.

In a good second Jess shot into the room running, "M-Ms. Luthor! What's wrong!? Shall I get in contact with someone?!", Jess was by the Pregnant woman's side, supporting her.

Lena began to grow nervous, she began to wonder, had being around the kryptonite her mother had be affecting her now?

Jess helped the Luthor to the couch. "What happened? Are you not feeling good?", the woman asked nervously.

Lena nodded, "I...I don't know, It hurts. It comes and goes."

Jess supported the woman to the couch.

It took Jess a good moment to figure it out. "Oh gosh", she said with concern, if it'd been a normal human baby it wouldn't hurt as much. Jess gave Lena a sympathetic look. what Lena was experiencing was no doubt the baby's kick.

"What?", Lena groaned slightly in pain.

Jess sighed softly, "It's...Kicking"

Lena's eyes widened for a moment, "Kicking?", Lena may be a super smart and knowledgeable, but that was all in tech related things, She hadn't the faintest idea what was and what wasn't normal in a pregnancy, especially with the baby itself not being normal either.

"Yeah, I mean. You said this is supposed to last 15 weeks right. So by now you're at least 6 to 7 weeks, i think you're in the stage of your pregnancy that the Baby'll start kicking once in while.", Jess said as she gave the Luthor's arm a reassuring squeeze, "I mean, I heard Baby kicks do hurt a bit depending on where the Baby's positioned and where they kick, but But you seemed a bit more hurt than Natural, But I think that's also due to…"

Lena understood where Jess was coming from, "The baby possibly being a Super baby."

Jess smiled sheepishly, "It is a super baby though, It's not a possibility", the woman said in absolute.

Lena smiled, "But what if my human Genes got in the way? for all we know the baby could be more human than Super."

the Secretary nodded, "I think a Super is 'super' in more ways than just Super strength, and Superhuman abilities, Someone like that is most likely to also have Super-genes, I'm pretty sure Supergirls Genes were able to take over."

The CEO hummed, she turned away for a moment, "So I guess I'm in for a very painful experience aren't I?"

Lena knew since the circumstances of her pregnancy weren't normal, she'd no doubt have odd things happen to her. She'd experience things Human Doctors may not be able to explain.

Jess noticed the Luthor facial expression grow serious, she could see the uncertainty in the woman's being, She sighed softly, moving her hand from Lena's arm, to her hand, she put her hand over Lena's own.

Lena snapped out of thought and turned to Jess, she saw a warm expression on the woman's face.

"It'll all be okay, Ms. Luthor.", the woman spoke softly once her gaze met her boss's own uncertain one, she could see tears shining in those emerald eyes.

Lena sucked in a breath, "Will it? Things are really-", Lena sobbed softly and turned away from the woman.

Jess frowned sadly and shifted closer to her boss, never had she expected to get this personal with the CEO, Lena was always so closed off and reserved, but ever since Supergirl and Kara just popped into that closed off life, Lena just opened up, she smiled more often, she showed affections.

Jess wrapped her arms around the quietly sobbing woman, "Shhh, It'll all work out, It will, it may not look like it. Things get harder before they get any easier, but it gets better, you just gotta get passed the hard stuff.", the Woman allowed the CEO to cry into her. She knew that this wasn't just about being pregnant, it was about Supergirl's condition, it was about her mother.

Jess always saw the faint sadness in the CEO's eyes. Only until a year ago had those emerald eyes began to shine with joy and happiness. It was such an amazing thing to see, how such a dark person was suddenly glowing.

Jess made it a mission to help the woman out in whatever way she was needed.

"O-Ow", Lena whimpered softly and pulled out of the woman's arms, she wiped her face and held her stomach with a hand. No doubt the baby kicked again.

Jess sighed softly, she rose a hand to adjust her glasses, "You've been stressed, and you have so much on your plate, Ms. Luthor, Maybe it's best you go home, relax, It's not good to be Overworked. I can handle things here."

Lena nodded, "I have to-"

"No, Please Geez, Ms. Luthor. Look at yourself, You're not fine, you need a break, you need to start relaxing, It's not only bad for you, but also for the baby if you keep stressing. If you stay here, I'll...I'll Get a hold if superman somehow", The asian threatened. She only wanted to Get Lena away from the Office, away from all the stress, even if it meant that she had to take on more work. "Please."

The Luthor released a heavy breath and nodded, "Okay.", she relented. "I'll relax. I'll leave and go home."

Jess nodded, she released a breath she didn't know she was holding, "Want me to call your driver?"

Lena nodded, "No I'll...I think I'm going to get Superman"

Jess smiled lightly, "Okay then.", The woman began to stand up from the couch, "If there's anything you need, even when we aren't working, You can always call me.", The woman offered with a genuine smile.

"Jess.", Lena spoke with emotion, she never had anyone be there for her, Kara was always the only one. but Now Jess, Jess was showing so much support, hell, she always did, but now, when it actually counts, Jess was still the same if not even more supportive and sweet.

Jess nodded, "I mean it Ms. Luthor, No matter the time, I'll do whatever I can to help however I can."

Lena sucked in a shaky breath, "Thank you so much Jess."

The woman waved it off, "Just, please, try not to stress yourself too much."

Lena nodded.

"Alright, well, I'll leave you to it, I'll lock your office up after you go okay."

Lena nodded, "Thank you."

the asian smiled and turned to go, "Have a good day, Ms. Luthor."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kicking huh?", Alex said as she and Eliza both took off their latex Gloves, both women wearing lab coats.

"It Hurts alot from how I saw Lena bending over", Kal said as he lifted her up to sit onto of the Soft adjustable bed.

Eliza gave the Luthor a concerned look, "It hurts?", She took steps forwards and to the woman.

Lena nodded, "It does, a lot, It comes and goes. It's like sharp pains", the Luthor sighed softly.

Alex hummed, "It's not unusual for Baby's to kick, and for it to hurt.", Alex started off, she got beside Lena, "You're in the stage where Kicking will be taking place, A lot of mothers complained about sharp pains as well, but you do seem a bit...Impacted by the pain, more so than the average woman that goes through the stage."

Eliza sighed softly, "The Baby's strong, that's most likely why it hurts as much as it does to you.", the woman wore a sympathetic look.

Lena nodded, "Jess thought the same thing."

Kal hummed, "About?"

"The baby. That the baby's stronger than the average baby, and that's why It hurts so much more.", Lena answered.

Alex nodded, "Well, yeah. Kara's not exactly human, So it makes sense that the baby you two produce comes out to be more than your average baby."

Lena sighed softly, "I guess. I mean, Wouldn't my Genes have had some affect on it?", she gave Eliza and Alex a questioning look.

"How so?", Eliza asked.

"I just...Kinda had these thoughts.", Lena spoke a bit quietly.

Alex gave Kal a Look. Kal looked a bit concerned.

"Thoughts on?", Alex asked as she placed a hand on Lena's shoulder.

Lena sighed and shook her head, "I don't know anymore, God", the Luthor rose a hand to run it through her hair.

Eliza stepped closet and placed her hand on Lena's other shoulder, giving it a soft squeeze, "Lena...Did you really want this baby-"

before Eliza could even finish the question, Lena jumped.

"What! Of course I want the Baby!", Lena practically freaked out, "Why wouldn't I want it. This Baby Will be everything to me, and Kara...I…", Lena trailed off and just turned away from the older woman. She sucked in a shaky breath.

the room fell silent.

For a moment the air grew thick with apprehension, and tension.

Alex could see how stressed Lena was, it bothered her, it made her grow concerned, it wasn't healthy to be this stressed.

"Lena, you need to try and relax-", Alex spoke, but was quickly cut off.

"I can't! I can't just relax! God, I'm pregnant with a Supers baby, I'm a Luthor, My mother managed to get Kara out of the picture for god knows how long, and there's no doubt in my mind that Lex knows! He'll come after me himself, I know it, I know it, Lillian said so herself.", The Ravenette snapped, tears of frustration and uncertainty began to roll down the Luthor's face, "I wanted things to work out, That's why me and Kara were keeping things a secret, we didn't want things to get complicated if my family found out, but they know already and they've already managed to hurt Kara. They know Kara's all I have, they Know that without Kara I'm practically an open target. Mother said that The baby was okay to keep, but I don't know why. I don't know why she told me that, It's like she actually wanted me and Kara to produce something, she knew we could, she expected it." Lena huffed out, she brought her hands to her face to wipe her tears, "She said she didn't intend to hurt me, but that she and Lex would personally deal with Kara."

Alex, Eliza and Kal were all baffled, Lillian was no doubt plotting something after all. If she really doesn't intend to Hurt Lena then why did she pull out a gun and…

and it all began to make sense.

Alex growled, "That bitch knew Kara would protect you that Night! She knew Kara would rather die than let you take that Kryptonite bullet.", the Danvers yelled out furiously.

It was clear as day now, No doubt if That bullet had reached Lena, The pregnancy would have been terminated due to Kryptonite poisoning.

and Kara would never subject Lena to that type of emotional pain and physical pain. after all it had become clearer and clearer that Lena wanted to mother the child she was carrying.

Kal on the other hand was shocked to find out that Lex was somehow going to be playing a role in this. "Lex is in prison, Lena, He won't be getting out anytime soon.", the man of steel said.

Eliza agreed with Clark, it was one thing worry about Lillian coming after Kara should she survive, but to worry about Lex, the very man Superman himself had trouble with? Oh no, Eliza felt her chest tighten, things indeed got fairly complicated.

Lena shook her head, "You should know how Lex is. You and me both know how he is, he can worm his way out of anything", she said with puffy glossy eyes.

Kal narrowed his eyes slightly, "I know. But he probably expected you to be on your own once Kara was out of the Picture, you aren't, your mother was surprised to see me show up, I don't think either of them expected my intervention, and I'm sure they got the message, I'm here in place of Kara, You aren't defenseless, Lena.", the man of steel said with arms falling to his sides.

Lena fell silent.

Alex was internally pissed at the fact that Lillian knew exactly what she was aiming for, This was all about Getting Kara out of the picture, They wanted Lena alone. and no doubt the first chance they get, they'll take the girl.

but...one thing that was left unanswered was why Lillian and Lex would be so accepting of Lena's pregnancy.

"I don't like where this is going.", Eliza said, taking everyone out from their thoughts. "Isn't Lillian anti-alien? Why would she be so accepting of a child that's half of what she hates."

Kal's expression hardened instantly, "I don't think she is, But I think Lex is. Lex is the kind of man that would dissect something like this. We can't let Lena fall into his hands or no doubt he'll do what I think he'll do."

Lena trembled, that was her fear from the get-go, she knew that her family would be capable of such an act, they's take her child and experiment with it, she didn't want that, it horrified her, it was her greatest nightmare.

Alex grit her teeth, "That...urgh, She won't, We'll have Lena under surveillance, one odd move and we Raid the place he tries to take her."

Eliza hummed, "wait, we're getting too ahead of ourselves here, He's in jail right? We can just make sure he's there"

Lena looked up to find Kal's gaze on her. "He's a man of surprises."

"I say we end Lillian", Alex blurted out in anger.

Eliza sighed, "Honey relax, J'onn wouldn't let you within 50 feet of her cell, it wouldn't work"

Alex shrugged, "She put Kara in a bad position, what if she doesn't make it?!"

Kal rose a hand to run it through his hair. he leaned against the counter.

Lena clenched her jaw.

Eliza nodded, "I know. I know right now we're all a little high on emotions, but killing someone isn't going to lighten anything. Right now, we all need to relax, we all just have clear our heads, Clark can speak with J'onn over what we can get out of Lillian, because from what everything is starting to look like, Lillian no doubt has a plan going, and she managed to succeed to a certain extent. we have to go about this cautiously.", the older Danvers spoke softly, trying to calm the much furious Danvers.

"She's right Alex. We need to think things thoroughly from here on out." the kryptonian said.

Lena just wanted a normal life, that's all she ever wanted, but her getting with a super was definitely a huge jump away from her want. But then again, She was utterly happy, Kara was the reverse of what she wanted, but somehow ended up being the very thing that just filled her with joy and happiness, and Lena couldn't let Kara go, even when Kara had hurt her all those months ago before they admitted their feelings towards each other, Lena couldn't do that, even with a baby on the way now, she still feel blessed that Kara just awkwardly stumbled into her office beside the great Kansas Man.

No matter what, she was determined to have this baby, it was everything to her, and it was also something that Kara had given to her, this baby was a product of not just a night of passionate sex, but of also their love for each other.

Whatever Lillian and Lex had up their sleeve, Lena would somehow avoid it, she had to. She wouldn't allow for them to take her happiness away from her a second time.

no, not again.

The first time, it was her childhood and her heart. They broke her, Lillian with her insults and expectations far too high, and Lex, with his Lies, false promises and deceit.

That was then, and Now was now.

Lena had People in her corners now, Kal being the strongest one and Jess being a loyal...friend? Co-worker...whatever Jess was just Jess.

the ravenette had to prove that she wasn't going to back down this time.

an unborn child was counting on her.

"Lena. It'll all be okay", Kal said softly with a sad look.

Lena snapped out of her thoughts and nodded.

Alex relaxed and gave Lena a rub to her back, "We'll counter them somehow."

Eliza gave the Luthor one last glance, She knew Lena wanted this baby, but she could see fear in those emerald eyes, after all, who wouldn't be afraid, Lena, a normal human was carrying a being that would no doubt grow to be anything but average.

For a moment, Eliza tried to picture it, what Kara's and Lena's baby would look like.

and Eliza smiled lightly, she turned around as she gave Lena a small pat over the shoulder, "I'm going to go talk with J'onn.", she said as she left the room.

leaving Alex and Kal with Lena.

"God, I'm so scared.", the Luthor said with a quiet raspy voice.

Kal walked towards the woman, "Don't be, just let things go as they go."

Alex agreed, "I know by now you must hate the word, but...Relax".

Lena snorted and blushed slightly, "The word is very annoying at this point."

Alex chuckled softly, "I know."

Kal smiled as he felt the mood lift slightly.

"So, Any baby names?", Alex asked the Luthor curiously.

Lena turned to Alex wide eyed, "Baby names...me and Kara didn't get to that...and I haven't had the time to even think about it myself."

Alex's lips curled into a sad smile, "C'mon, take a walk with me", she stepped back slightly and offered a hand to the Luthor.

Lena took the hand and carefully stepped down.

Kal stepped aside, "I'm going to be going to see what Eliza and J'onn are thinking. I'll catch you two later"

Both women nodded as Kal left.

Alex and Lena slowly left the room as well.

Alex didn't know when the urge settled in, but it did. The urge to learn about Lena, to get a glimpse of how her sister was in the relationship with the Luthor woman.

Alex wanted to see Lena's eyes sparkled in the way she ignored whenever she saw Kara and Lena together just 4 months ago, when Alex didn't even have the faintest idea that Kara and Lena were actually already actively romantically together.

and yes, Alex did see the CEO's eyes grow brighter whenever she saw Kara and her together, but she just pushed it aside, which she now began to regret.

"So, who confessed first?"
