Super Beginnings

Chapter Fifty Six - Confirmation

Clark, a stick, and a trip to the clinic at the hospital, all confirmed Ryan's declaration. I, fifteen year old alien from planet who knows, grown up on earth Mia Kent, was with child. Pregnant, up the duff, bun in the oven and every other metaphor for going to be a teen Mom before I'm 16. I was freaking out, like I had been hit in the face with a meteor rock fused brick. Sitting on the floor up against my bed I was quiet. as I had been for the past two days. Clark came and sat down next to me.

"How are you doing?" he asked me

"How do you think?" I muttered, my voice a little hoarse "A pre teen tells me that I'm pregnant and every test I have proves him true." I leant my head on his shoulder and he leant his head on mine.

"What am I gonna do?" I ask but he didn't answer "How didn't I think?" We lifted out heads and i shuffle to turn to him fully

"Hormones?" he suggested

"Duh, but I mean it more than that. We've never been normal, we had super strength, then we had suer speed. We we always believed that we were human just...genticially altered in some way. Then were told that were aliens from another planet and that us and our ship were found in the midst of a terrible meteor storm. Even when we got x-ray vision neither of us stoped to think about the bigger questions. We just wanted to brush it under the carpet as much as possible." I rant

"Are you scared?" he wondered as I started picking at the carpet

"Yes and no." I answer glancing up at him "There was one point where I had everything mapped out. I would get through high school, go to college and get my degree, internship, fellowship. I would be Dr Mia Kent at Metropolis General, I figured that I would be a Mom when hell froze over and I met some cute doctor just as dedicated as I was. or maybe I would adopt like we were. But i would have achieved what I wanted and then made everything balance out. But reality sunk in and it became complicated. Now it seems i might not get as far as i wanted." I began to tear up and Clark pulled me into a hug.

"Hey, don't say that. If anyone can do anything it's you." he kissed my head

"How?" I question pulling away again "Clark, not once since finding out the truth did I question myself. We don't even know where we come from only that it's not earth. Not clue to the biology or chemistry of our species. We were born obviously but how far advanced or not were they. Did they carry children like humans? Is the pregnancy in anyway like earths or did they conceive and create a different way. What is the duration? Am I going to be giving birth in 2 months,5 months or will I carry full term?

What happens if i decide to not continue with the pregnancy, would human medicine work on me? What happens if i decide to keep it? Would Mom and Dad make me put it up for adoption?" I started ranting off questions

"I doubt that. mom and Dad love you. Yeah they're shocked, any parent would be when they find out their 15 year old daughter is pregnant. But they've supported us through everything so far and I doubt this would change things." he defended them, making me sigh and realise I had gone to far on that front.

"Okay, fine. No mom and Dad. But what about Whitney? he's already scared fo getting stuck here. How do I tell him about this? It's complicated already but I know one thing for sure, this foetus is a hybrid. part me and him, that means part alien, what if I do go through with this. I somehow skirt over everything alien and have a full human pregnancy. There's nothing stopping them being like me, how do I explain that the kid is super strong or will speed or...." I trail off holding a hand to my head "I would have to tell him. Then it really would be over if nothing else ended it first."

"You don't know that Mia." he reoterted

"I don't know anything, that's the point." i stand and began pacing back and forth "This is completely uncharted territory. I have read about pregnancies for Humans but this is , i don't know how to deal with it." He stands up as well and takes me by the arms.
