Happily In Love (A Sanvers Series)

6. Make it through

Alex' pov

I stood there, crying in Kara's arms, just hoping that Maggie would survive. A few minutes later, although it felt like hours, J'onn came out of the room.

"She's dead, isn't she?" I asked.

"No, Alex. I would never let Maggie die on my watch." he replied. "We discovered something. There's still a little piece of the bullet in her chest. I didn't notice it, until we quickly took a scan. That stupid little thing caused her cardiac arrest. She's going into surgery in a few minutes."

"So... she's going to be okay after this operation?" I stuttered.

"Let's hope so." J'onn hugged me, and left to operate on Maggie.

"She's going to get through this, Alex. Maggie's a fighter, I know that and you know that." Kara comforted me. "I'll be by your side."

A few hours later

I was sitting in a chair, waiting for J'onn to come to me, when I heard a familiar voice.

"Oh, Alex. I'm so sorry." she said.

I turned around and ran into her arms.

"Mommy!" I sobbed. "Maggie got shot."

"I know. Kara told me everything on the way." Mom replied.

A few seconds later, Robert and Kara came in.

"Where's my little girl?" Robert asked with a concerned look on his face.

"She's still in surgery. I'm waiting for J'onn to give us an update. Maggie's going to be okay, I know it."

"She's going to be fine." Kara reassured.

Mom and Robert took a seat next to each other and started talking. I got a little closer to Kara and had a conversation with her to get my mind off Maggie.

"Are you okay, sis?" Kara asked.

"I'm holding up. Thank you for bringing Mom and Robert to the hospital."

"I would do anything for you. And I'm sorry to ask but you're having a boy?"

"Yes, I found out earlier today. I wanted to tell Maggie." I said while trying to hold back my tears.

"And you will tell her, when she wakes up." Kara comforted.

"I hope so."

Two hours later, J'onn came out of surgery. He quickly walked to us with a little smirk on his face. Mom and Robert got up and Kara held my hand.

"Well, everything's okay with Maggie. There were a few of complications but I got the piece out of her chest. She would normally wake up in a few hours."

"Thank you so much, J'onn. I owe you one." I thankfully said.

"It's okay. I would do anything for you, Alex. Maggie's a part of my family, too."

"Can I see her, now?"

"Yes. She's in recovery room number 12."

I only asked Robert, Mom and Kara to come with me because Mon-El, James and Winn were busy helping J'onn with some alien research and I didn't want to bother them. I quickly entered the room where Maggie was peacefully lying in bed. I slowly walked to her and took a seat.

"Hey, baby. I'm here with you. You are my hero, you know that? You are going to wake up soon. I'll be here when you open your eyes. I love you." and I kissed her forehead.

Later, everyone 'talked' to Maggie and every hour, we switched places so at least someone would be with her when she wakes up.

A couple of days later

It's been 5 days and Maggie still hasn't woken up. I started to get worried, but J'onn said that it was normal. Her body had to recover from all the damage that had been made. Mom and Robert were staying in National City until Maggie would wake up. I was glad that I had my family with me. I wouldn't be able to survive this. I went to Maggie's room because it was my turn to stay with her.

"Wake up, Kara." I whispered.

She slowly opened her eyes and yawned.

"I'm sorry. I slept a little while." Kara replied.

"That's okay, get something to eat or get some sleep at home. It's my turn, now."

"You haven't eaten in a few hours, I'll get you something to eat, too."

"Thank you, Kara."

Kara got up and left the room. I took her place, I just looked at my beautiful wife.

"Hey, honey. It's time that you wake up. Everyone's waiting for you to open your eyes. And more importantly, I'm waiting for you. I want to say that I love you and hear you say that you love me too. I want to grab your waist and kiss you. And there's someone else who wants to hear your voice. It's your son."

"O-our son." she stuttered.

"Maggie?"

"Not my son, our son."
