Chapter 2
Kara had never in a thousand years imagined that she would be in this situation. Pacing in her apartment bathroom. Her timer went of signaling that the two minutes were up. Kara slowly picked up the small white stick and took a deep breath. Looking down at the white stick in her hand Kara saw the two unmistakable lines. Not knowing what to do or think Kara walked out of her restroom and to her room she grabbed her cardigan. If she didn't fly off to work right now she was going to be late. She picked up Miss Grant's coffee and went to the Catco building. She walked into Cat Grant's office and handed her her coffee.
"Kiera why are you late?" Cat ask not looking up from her work. "You're never late." Kara began to panic a little it was true she had never been late but today it was all due to the stupid little extra line on the pregnancy test.
"Sorry Miss Grant I got stuck in traffic." Kara used the first explanation that came to mind. Seeing the Cat wasn't going to tell her anything she walked away to her desk. She sat and thought. How could see be in this situation? She never slept with anyone. She's a virgin. Correction she was, she slept with...
"Kiera!" Kara shot up when yelling came from Cat's office. She quickly walked over hoping that Miss Grant wouldn't be in a bad mood because she was late.
"Clear my meetings for after lunch today. We are going to lunch." Cat ordered.
"Yes right away Miss Grant. Wait we?" Kara asked realizing Cat had said we instead of I.
"Yes we. Did I stutter get your things we leave in five minutes." Kara nod and walked away. The day had just begun but when she glanced at the clock she noticed that she had been thinking this whole time. She had got lost in her thoughts, especially the ones about the baby that was growing inside of her. She placed her hand on her stomach, this was going to be hard. Kara had to get some answers first, from her hologram of a mother. Seeing that Cat was waiting for her by the private elevator Kara walked over and joined her. Kara stayed quite and didn't look at Cat the elevator ride. Cat on the other hand looked up and down Kara's body enjoying the view of Kara's legs exposed because of her skirt. Cat always checked Kara out but she is just good at hiding it. Getting in her car Cat told the driver where they were to go.
"Are you okay with Italian?" Cat asked.
"Um yes Miss Grant." Kara was okay with any food as long as it was good. She really didn't have much of an appetite after this morning she hadn't even ate breakfast. She couldn't get it threw her head how could she be so careless. Not that she could think sleeping with a woman would end up with her in this position. Kara noticed that the car had come to a complete stop they were already at the restaurant. Kara got off and followed Cat before they reached the restaurant Kara lost her balance. Cat caught the younger girl before she fell.
"Kara? Are you alright?" Cat asked. Oh now she decided to actually get my name right. Kara lightly chuckled.
"Yeah just a little dizzy." Kara tried to pull herself away from Cat, but Cat didn't let her go. "Miss Grant I'm fine." Kara tried once more to see if Cat let her go. But still Cat's grip on her was tight.
"When did you last eat?" Cat questioned truly concerned for her employee. Kara didn't answer, she had lost her appetite last night when she went to buy the pregnancy test. "Kara?" Cat was getting inpatient.
"Yesterday at lunch." Kara answered truthfully. Cat let out an annoyed groan and sat Kara down on the chair of their table.
"Give me two braciole di vitello plates, a glass of wine and a tea for her." Miss Grant told the waiter right away. She wanted Kara to eat right away.
"Miss Grant I'm alright." Kara assured her. Cat nods and hands her a garlic bread. Giving her a motherly stare to eat. Kara gave up and bit into the bread. Kara didn't talk all she could think about was that's she's supergirl and she got dizzy and that it's not like her. She needed to get answers from Alura before she did anything that could cause any harm to herself or the unborn child.
"Kara we need to talk." Cat said breaking their silence. Kara knew nothing good could come from the phrase we need to talk. That phrase somehow always ended with someone getting hurt. The waiter brought the food before Kara could say anything but Kara knew Cat was right they needed to talked.
"Okay Miss Grant I'm all ears." Kara looked at the food in her plate, she had never tasted before but she knew she had to eat something.
"For crying out loud Kara we've fucked you can call me Cat when no ones around." Cat stated louder than she wanted to. Her word made Kara blush.
"I'm sorry Mi-- Cat." Kara said, "what is it you want to discuss?"
"It's about what happened last month. We never really discussed it." Cat wanted to know what was going through Kara's mind about that night. "You have to know that what happened doesn't have to mean anything." Cat clarified. Kara looked down at plate of food to try to hide the tears built in her eyes.
"Miss Grant" Kara took a deep breath to avoid her voice breaking. "You don't have to worry about anything. I'm not asking for anything it's not like if you're some guy that got me pregnant and I'm asking for child support." Kara laughed at the irony of her statement. "We both are consenting adults that knew what we wanted and went for it." This was easier than Cat imagined. She did really like Kara but she couldn't have a relationship with her because the news would be consume like wild fire. Cat would be labeled like a predator who is only using her assistant for sex.
"So you're not expecting anything more than what happened that night?" Kara shook her head even though her heart was hurting. After that conversation didn't go on between the two they just ate. Kara soon realized she had to ask Cat something very weird to ask after the words that were just exchanged.
"Um Cat my red panties that I was wearing that night, I kinda forgot them did you see them by any chance?" Kara could feel her face burning bright red.
"No not at all." Cat said glancing at her watch. "Keira take the day off, lunch was on me I have to get going now." Kara smiled and watched Cat leave the restaurant. Kara walked out of the restaurant and walked into a near by alley. Seeing that no one was in the alley Kara flew off to the DEO. She landed and saw that Alex hadn't left yet. Alex was talking to Lucy.
"Supergirl." Both Lucy and Alex acknowledged Kara.
"What's going on?" Kara asked. Lucy being there on behalf of the army couldn't be good.
"Don't worry." Lucy said. "Just give Alex a heads up that the US military wants you to test out some armor but you have the right to refuse and walk away." Lucy explained. Having Lucy on their side was good.
"What are you doing here?" Alex asked Kara.
"I have to talk to Alura." Kara explained. Alex nod and walked away when Hank called her. Kara walked away and into the room where her mother's hologram was. Kara didn't realize that Lucy was behind her at all.
"Hello Kara." The hologram spoke. "What can I assist you with?" Kara was frustrated she didn't want to say it out loud but she needed to know everything about what she was about this situation she got herself in.
"I need to know about kryptonian pregnancies." Kara said.
"Well in krypton our goal was to reproduce to survive. Our bodies instinct is to reproduce. In krypton most marriages would have conceived within a year of marriage. A kryptonian pregnancy lasts four months." Kara let the information shrink in. So she was going through a four month pregnancy.
"Can a kryptonian get pregnant from someone of the same sex like for example two girls conceive a child?" Kara asked. "And can one of them be human??" Kara desperately need answers.
"Yes they can however when a human and a kryptonian conceive a child. That pregnancy will be a normal human pregnancy of nine months, the morning sickness will be there, cravings and also mood swing." Kara looked down at her stomach. So she wasn't that lucky she might be going to be carrying a child in her for nine months. "Why is this so important Kara, do you find yourself in this situation?"
"I'm afraid so." Kara let out a sigh.
"One last thing you must know. Before you give birth you will loose your powers until the child is born." Alura said. "Congratulations Kara." With that the hologram disappeared and Kara began to cry. Lucy was shocked with what she just herd but with out asking Kara anything Lucy wrapped her arms around Kara's waist and pulled her into a hug. Kara turned around and saw it Lucy but didn't care she just buried her face in the crook of her neck. Kara knew she couldn't stay here long because soon Alex would see her crying and would ask question.
"It's going to be okay Kara." Lucy knew her words wouldn't be much help. Without warning Kara flew her and Lucy to her apartment.
"I'm sorry." Kara cried out. "It's just if I stayed there Alex would see me and the last thing I need right now is more people to know about this." Lucy. Didn't say anything just once again pulled Kara into a hug. She couldn't really say anything all she could do was psychically be there for the crying girl. Lucy stayed the whole night with the crying girl until finally around three in the morning Kara had fallen asleep in her arms.
Kara felt tried but that what she expected after crying so much. Before she left her apartment Lucy let her know she would be there for her and also convinced her to go to the doctor to check the baby. Lucy recommend a doctor that she knew and was and old friend. Walking into Cat's office Kara hand her a latte.
"Kiera tell Mister Olsen to get me his latest photo of supergirl." Cat said acting as if yesterday never happened.
"Right away Miss Grant." Kara walked out and informed James of what Miss Grant wanted. Kara went along proof reading a few short stories Miss Grant had ordered her to read. Once Kara finished she walked to Miss Grants office to see what she wanted for lunch. "Miss Grant I'm headed off to get lunch what would you like me to pick you up?" Kara asked.
"Don't know just bring me something from wherever you go." Cat said not even bothering to look up from her computer. Kara walked in her peaceful pace thinking what she wanted to eat. She kept walking for about ten minutes until she decided on burgers. She walked into a small restaurant and ordered two cheese burgers.
"Oh but on one put grilled onion please." Kara said. She was never a big fan of onions but right now that sounded real good to her. Kara turned around to find a place to sit when she saw Lucy eating by herself. Kara walked over and joined Lucy.
"How you feeling?" Asked the solider.
"I'm good thanks for-" Kara was cut off by her vibrating phone. "Hello?" Kara answered.
"We have a problem. A runaway killer on the loose and he's in Catco with a gun." Alex said over the phone.
"Lucy I have to go can you get my order please." Lucy gave a small nod but grabbed Kara's wrist before she left.
"Kara be careful you're no longer alone." Kara pulled her wrist away from Lucy grip before leaving. Supergirl flew into of Catco undetected. She scanned around the room to see how many people were alive. With her X-ray vision she saw that Winn, James, and Miss Grant were hiding together. As rushed over to them but then she realized the guy with the gun was there. Supergirl got the rest of the people out before taking breath she stepped into the office. When the guys saw her he panicked and got Cat, pointing his gun to her. Kara may be dress like supergirl but she still feared what might happen if she failed.
"Step any closer and she dies." Supergirl could see the fear in Cat's eyes but still her face was emotionless.
"Alright, I won't get any closer but can I know your name please." Supergirl need to establish some trust.
"Mason but you have to go I have to do this." Supergirl could see that he didn't want to do this something was forcing him to do this. She could try fighting the guy but that would be risking Cat's life and she wouldn't do that. Before anything could go down Kara herd Alex's voice.
"Supergirl I know you can hear me." Supergirl listened carefully to what her sister was about to say. "His name is Mason Conor, he has a 3 year old daughter that we just rescued, let him know she's safe and here with us. Also his wife died, so please avoid this little girl the heart break of losing both parents permanently."
"Mason you have a daughter right?" The superhero asked. Mason gave a small nod. "She here down stairs and safe. That little girl needs you, she no longer has a mother, please don't leave that little girl alone. Do the right thing and put the gun down." Mason did as he was told and dropped the weapon.
"There's a bomb in her car." Mason spoke releasing Cat. Supergirl flew off and right away lifted the car but as her hand came into contact with the car a piece of kryptonite shot into Supergirl's chest. Alex ran over to her and help her.
"Stay down I'm gonna get help." The the hero refused to listen to her older sister and flew the car off. Alex had managed to put in an earpiece into Kara's ear. "Supergirl do you read me?"
"I do." Kara confirmed. "I need to know where to get rid of this bomb before it to late."
"You're near the sea but if you leave it there that won't be good. Throw that thing now into the air as far as you can." With out a second thought Kara threw the car. "Is there anyway you could make it back to us?"
"On my way." With her final strength Kara made her to Catco were the DEO still was. Supergirl didn't land instead she fell the kryptonite had finally weakened her. Between Hank and Alex they carried her into Cat's office.
"I sincerely apologize Miss Grant but we need to make sure that the world out there doesn't see this." Cat just nod walking out of her office. Looking into her office through the clear glass. Lucy walked in with no problem and handed Cat her lunch.
"Kara had and emergency she told me to give you-" Lucy stopped in her track when she saw the hero laying weak, and bleeding on Cat Grant's floor. Running over she rushed into the office to see that she could help with. Cat couldn't help but feel jealous at the way the agent held her superhero. There was three things Cat was very possessive of one her son, two her superhero, and finally as much as Cat hated it her assistant. Cat couldn't understand what was going all she could see was Lane arguing with an agent.
