Girlfriend from Another Universe

Alex

Two days had passed and Kara hadn't told anyone yet about her pregnancy. Not Winn, not James, not Cat. Not even her sister, Alex, whom Kara told almost everything too.

After a wild day of chasing bad guys, fighting an alien creature that, in human form, just moved from her cousins' city (he had let Kara know ahead of time that the certain alien had escaped and his many undercover identities) and dealing with CatCo things at work (she still mysteriously received a salad with light dressing and some pickles on the side for lunch both days), Kara was finally home for the night.

After a quick change into her pajama pants and top Kara rested on her couch looking down at her baby bump. She had a doctors appointment coming up that she made yesterday. She wasn't sure how far she was, but she was sure she had to be at least three or four months along. Yet her baby bump had yet to appear. "I can't wait to see you soon, little baby." She smiled. "Mommy loves you so much! And Daddy loves you so much! And my cousin...I guess he can be your uncle since I'm an only child. Your uncle Kal loves you too."

Kara then remembered she hadn't told Kal either about her pregnancy. Oh boy, she may still be thirteen years older than Kal but he acted as if he was older than Kara and protective of her. She remembered when she mentioned to him about dating Barry.

"Your dating a BOY?" Kal said loudly. "Who dares date my baby cousin?"

"Baby cousin? I'm older than you, Kal." Kara laughed.

"Well I grew up without you. I'm twenty-five years older than you. Actually, I still look young so we could pull off being twins almost."

"Kal, I will always be older than you. Whether you accept that idea or not."

"How old is this Barry kid?"

"Well, I'm a little older than him technically. ."

"By how much?"

Kara groaned on the phone. "He was born on October 8. 1989."

"Kara, your, birthday is October 4, 1966. You're a little over two decades older than the guy."

"Oh trust me I know. After I told him what had happened he started to do the math and figured it all out. Then he called me an old lady."

"What'd you do?"

"Threw him off a roof and caught him last second."

"That's my Kara! But the next time he calls you an old woman and I'm there, he'll be a pancake."

"Shut up, baby cousin."

Kara laughed about that memory. Oh god, Kal would murder Barry in seconds and make it look like an accident. "Don't worry little one," Kara rubbed over where her baby was. "I won't let Uncle Kal hurt daddy." * knock knock * "Who's that?" Kara stood up and faced the door. Using her x-ray vision, she saw it was Alex. "Oh, Alex?"

Kara speed walked to the door and opened it. "What's up, Alex?"

Alex had her hands on her hips and a cold, stern look on her face. "Kara."

"Did I forget something?" Kara questioned nervously.

"I have something for you, but I need to know one thing." Alex said as she held a box in her hands.

"Oh sure, come on in." Kara opened the door more and let her sister inside.

Alex stepped inside the familiar apartment as Kara closed the door. Just as Kara closed the door she felt a familiar feeling inside of her. Unsure of where exactly he would land, Kara rapidly picked up Alex and floated in the air. "What's going on?" Alex wondered.

"You'll see in three...two...one-"

A blur appeared out of no where and stopped in the middle of the kitchen. The familiar looking boyfriend of Kara's was dressed in his normal clothes, but the devise thing attached to his shirt. "Kara?"

"Hey Barry," Kara greeted him as she landed. She put Alex on the ground first and then herself. "Fancy meeting you here."

"Fancy meeting you too, Supergirl." He laughed. He leaned in and pecked her cheek with a sweet kiss. "Hi Alex."

"Oh good timing." The brunette sister smiled. "I have something for you too."

The two supers looked at one another as Alex opened the box and pulled out two teeny, tiny strips. "These are telepathic strips. They can make phone calls outside of the universe and into another one. Such as here to, let's say, Barry's Earth." She smiled. "I can see you two got this whole long distance thing down, but just in case you need to make weird late night calls and argue over who will hang up first." She said with a giggle.

"Cool!" Barry said as he took his phone out and took the chip from Alex's hand. "How do I put this in?" He opened the back of his phone.

Alex took his phone and the chip and attached it to where his memory card was. "Now when you want to call one another and avoid calling someone with the same number in this universe, just dial the star twice, then nine twice and the number."

"Thanks Alex." Kara hugged her. "Maybe your a hero too."

"Now I just need to know one thing, Kara." Alex smirked. "And probably a good thing Barry is here too."

"What?"

"You've been weird lately. Strange food cravings, getting sick, getting more dizzy than usual." Alex stated. Kara held back her nerves but could feel them. Barry wasn't sure if Alex, or anyone, had been told yet. "Kara, are you pregnant?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Because...well...I may have hacked into a security camera at a certain store that you said you were going too-"

"Oh gosh Alex, you SPIED on me?"

"Well you loath that store so I was wondering why you had to go there after DEO work."

"I said they had cheap pizza bread."

"Yeah. And pregnancy tests." Alex mentioned. "I saw them at the counter." Her face became cold, stern and serious.

Kara sighed. Well, better now than later. Kara smiled. "You excited to be an aunt soon?"

Alex was silent for a few moments with the same facial expression. Her face subsided and turned into a grin. "Yes!" She laughed. "I can't wait to be an aunt!"

"Yay! Aunt Alex!" Kara cheered.

The two sisters began jumping up and down laughing, holding hands, while Barry enjoyed the two sisters excitement. "Kara, I'm guessing you've told nobody else?"

"Not yet." Kara said, still overly joyed. "I plan too soon."

"Betty hurry before the bump shows up." He said.

"Did you tell anyone?"

"Everyone I closely work with at S.T.A.R.S Lab."

"Oh great."

Alex turned to Kara and asked, "You'll be okay, right? With superhero work?"

"Yeah. I mean, I've been fine for a couple of weeks." She said. "I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Oh yeah, I didn't think about that." Barry added, now realizing that Kara would be flying around and fighting bad guys. "I don't want you to hurt yourself or the baby."

"I'll be fine." She said, holding his hand in an assuring way.

"So, did you tell Kal yet?"

"No, not yet Alex."

"Should I be worried?" Barry asked.

Kara smirked at her boyfriend. "You better run faster than my cousin, Barry. Ten times faster. Though I know you can easily kick his super ass with your infinite mass punch".
