Chapter 7
Alex knew something was up with her sister, Kara isn't good at keeping secrets. For the past few weeks she had let it go but Kara just seemed to walk with a guilt look. Today after Alex checked how her and little one were doing the sisters had a Netflix day planned. Alex was surprised at how much bigger her sister had gotten but still the girl looked beautiful pregnant. Kara was due in less than a month and her and Lucy convinced her to get maternity pictures taken. Kara agreed only if she got to choose how to take them and when Kara and James returned they had taken two different photos. One of Kara flying over the city in her Supergirl suit and the other was Kara with out her glasses and some make up on, in a red dress next to the ocean that seemed to be from a Mexico beach. Alex knocked on her apartment door.
"It's open Alex come in." Kara yelled. Kara had taken the responsibility of being Cat's assistant and also a creative writer for Catco's short story section. None of the people that Kara brought in for the job lasted not even Hank who made himself a woman for the job. Kara was glad that she had super strength because she was sure if she didn't her back would break. Her feet were swollen and she could no longer see them. Alex joined her sister on the couch. She showed Kara the Thai food take out the girl couldn't be happier. While Parenthood played on the TV Alex took the chance to get to the bottom of what her sister was hiding.
"Kara you're in love with her." Kara's heart began to race at her sisters words. Could Alex really know her secret she had been very careful about it, she didn't tell anyone for her own protection.
"What are you talking about?" Kara tried playing dumb. She wasn't sure if her and Alex were talking about the same person.
"You are in love little one's mom she's your soulmate." Kara knew that Alex definitely wasn't catching up on her and Lucy dating. "Astra explained that same sex pregnancies were special in Krypton because they could only happen between soulmates." Kara knew what Alex was saying was true in Krypton they were considered sacred. Pregnancy of a same sex couples were always a celebration. If she was on Krypton her family would be celebrating for her and the person she loves.
"Alex you're right." Kara said with tears in her eyes. "I think I found my soulmate but I think I lost her before I got the chance to tell her that I love her Alex." Alex hugged her sister.
"Kara then tell Lucy you're in love with her, tell her that little one is hers she deserves to be there for your guys child." Kara pulled away. Alex was right about her being in love with little one's mother but she was wrong about who was little one's mother. Alex recognized what Kara was saying with her eyes. "I'm wrong aren't I? Lucy isn't the mother." Kara shook her head yes. "Then who is?" Kara knew it was time to come clean to her sister after all she would needed her advice on this subject.
"Alex you have to promise you won't get mad." Kara needed her sister word because the information about to be given was dangerous for everyone considering this person also knew her secret and maybe even Clark's.
"I promise Kara, little one's mother can't be that bad." Kara smile, Cat wasn't mean to her but maybe to the whole world she was. She is the Queen of All Media. She was nice to her, well when no one was around.
"Little one's other mother is Cat Grant." There was no easy way to say it. No easy way to make Cat nicer to people because of Kara. She couldn't go back in time. She couldn't change who little one's mother was and even if she could she wouldn't because she doesn't regret anything. Kara would play this out a hundred times and a hundred times she would still would have chosen to have sex with Cat that Christmas Eve. Her daughter is her's and Cat's because Cat is her soulmate if Cat wasn't her soulmate she wouldn't be in this situation.
"Catherine Grant is the mother of my niece?" Alex asked she wanted to make sure her ears weren't playing tricks on her. Kara softly nod. "But you are dating Lucy." Kara's eyes widen.
"You know?" Kara thought she had kept that well hidden.
"Lucy can barely keep her hands off you." Alex said stating the obvious. Kara knew Alex was telling the truth ever since they have been dating.
"How do I tell her?" Kara asked.
"I can't tell you the answer to that but I can tell you she deserves to know." Kara sighed. That wasn't helpful. Both sister continue peacefully watching Netflix until midnight when they both decided to go to bed. Kara couldn't sleep; not that she needed it. All night she could think of was about what she was going to do. How was Cat going to react? Was Cat going to even believe her? She was going to be a mother in less than a month and Kara felt like the least qualified person to be a mother. Cat was a great mother she had witnessed it firsthand how Cat would do anything for Carter. With her mind occupied the night became day. Kara decided she wasn't going to get any sleep and hopped in the shower. Once she was out Kara decided to wear some loose jeans and a white blouse with her black chucks. Kara woke up Alex before she left and made her way to Catco. Cat wouldn't be in the office today but Kara had a few things to do around.
"Morning babe." Lucy said planting a kiss in Kara's lips.
"Lucy?" Kara said once she pulled away. "What are you doing her I thought you weren't coming back until tomorrow?"
"I was but I wanted to surprise you." Lucy pulled out a small red box and Kara nearly fainted.
"Lucy?" Kara questioned worried.
"You don't like them?" Lucy pouted opening the box to reveal the earring. "They're for little one." Kara sighed for a second there she thought the earrings were a ring. Today was the day Kara faced her fear she was going to tell Cat Grant that she was little one's mother. She was going to give her the whole explanation leaving out the word soulmate.
"Thanks Lucy. I'll see you later I really have to get to work." Lucy agrees and kissed Kara. Kara left to Cat's office to begin organizing her desk. Kara herd laughing coming from Cat's balcony. She recognized the laugh to be Cat's but then she herd a voice of a man she did not recognize. Kara walked over to the balcony and saw Cat with a man. They were kissing Kara tried moving away but made noise that made her presence known.
"Keira what are you doing?" Cat let out and annoyed sigh. The blond man looked at Kara and when their eyes met Kara froze in fear. She knew this man from Krypton, but she thought he was dead along with the rest of their people. Clearly he wasn't and Kara could feel her eyes begin to water; which Cat immediately notice and her concern began to grow.
"I'm sorry Miss Grant." Was all Kara said before she travel off as quick as her feet could carry her. Her super speed came in handy because she was out of there before anyone could stop her. When Kara made it to her house she got locked the door behind her and she needed to be alone for while. How could he be alive and here touching Cat. Her Cat. Kara's blood boiled that man had no right to touch her, or to even look at Cat.
