Kara had, strangely again, a few relaxing days. Almost no sort of crime for her super hero work. Just her work at CatCo. She still hadn't told anyone yet about her pregnancy with Barry yet, but she knew she had too very soon. She had stopped eating doughnuts all together since they made her sick and her desire for cheddar cheese pringles, barbecue pringles and lots of cheesy fries have increased.

Kara was organizing some notes for Cat for an upcoming meeting she had with an executive for some company when James walked passed her on his way to Cat's office. He muttered, "Upstairs. Five minutes." quickly, knowing that Kara's super hearing would hear that.

Upstairs about ten minutes later Kara found both Winn and James sitting in the room. "Hey guys," She said a little bit perplexed. "What's going on?"

"You tell us." Winn said. "You've been a little strange lately."

"Yeah, well, I've been busy with things." She said.

"As Kara or Supergirl?" James asked.

"Both. Maybe more so as myself." She said, a little uneasy in her voice. She noticed a can of pringles, unopened, barbeque flavored, on the table. "Hey, can I have some?"

Jame shrugged and handed her his can of pringles. "Not that you hate pringles but your love for doughnuts have died down."

"A lot." Winn added.

"Guys, come on. It's me, Kara." She told them and forced a laugh. "I love food!"

"Kara, I'll find out what's going on from Alex if you don't tell us." James told her.

"Guys, I'm fine. Nothing is going on."

"Kara, if someone is holding you, like, hostage or whatever, you can tell us." Winn pleaded.

"I'm here. I'm not being held hostage."

"Someone's black mailing you. Right?" Winn added on.

"No." Kara said.

"What's going on then?" James question. "I'll call your cousin and have him find out."

Kara's eyes widened a bit. Oh gosh, if Kal found out from anyone else besides her; he'd kill her after she gave birth. Then kill Barry. She knew Kal would find out about this once James told him, "Kara's being really weird and she's not saying anything about it."

Kara sighed. "Okay, okay," She said in defeat. "I'll tell you guys. You guys remember Barry?"

"Duh, of course!" Winn said happily. "Your boyfriend from alternate Earth!"

"Yeah, well, uh, him and I..."

"Engaged?" James smirked.

"What? No."

"Eloped." Winn guessed. "How's that working out? Like does he live here on this Earth?"

"No, he's still on his Earth. His Earth, er, universe still needs him." The blonde explained. "It's something super important though."

"What is it?" They both pestered her.

"I'm pregnant!" She cheered, trying to calm down her excitement.

James and Winn both stared at her like she was an alien from space (oh wait, she was an alien from space) well at least ten heads. "Uh, cool?"

"Cool?" Kara repeated as she stared at Winn. "Just cool?"

"Well, uh, congrats?" He tried to sound better. "Is that safe for, you know, Supergirl to be pregnant?"

"Well sure. A lot of the women on my home planet were okay being pregnant." Kara said, vaguely remembering her aunt being pregnant with Kal. "My aunt was pretty good when she was with Kal."

"Yeah...but I don't think they were, like, kicking ass every day." Winn said.

"Nothing's happened the past few days. The only last, big huge major thing, that happened was fighting Non. Remember? I nearly tore off both of his legs, broke both shoulders and almost killed him."

"Yeah that was a killer fight," Winn said with a smile.

"But just because nothing has happened the past couple of days, it doesn't mean that it won't last like this forever." James stated. "What if another Non attack happens?"

"I know you both are concerned with my safety and it's," She pointed to her belly. "But I've got this. I can handle this."

"Really?" James inquired, giving an unsure look. "Can you really handle all of this?"

"Sure." Kara said.

"Do the D.E.O people know?"

"Not yet, Winn. But, I'll tell them. Soon." Kara said.

The trio returned back to their desks downstairs in the office. Kara found a bowl of hot chicken soup, crackers and an apple on her desk. She wasn't surprised. Kara continued to type out the notes for Cat when Winn rolled over to her. "Question?"

"Sure."

"Are you scared to tell the D.E.O, Cat and your cousin...assuming he doesn't know."

"D.E.O a little, Cat not so much. Kal," Kara sighed. "I don't think Barry is going to live long enough to see little baby." She laughed.

"Who are you more scared to tell? D.E.O or cousin?"

Kara rolled her eyes. "Hard to pick."
