Girlfriend from Another Universe

A Holograhic Mother

Kara arrived at the D.E.O a while later, just to announce she was pregnant. Strangely as she flew to the location she had an uneasy feeling in her stomach. She kept trying to convince herself that it was just the baby moving, but she didn't think the baby could move at all yet.

Kara landed at the D.E.O and immediately walked in, spotting Alex over at a computer with someone. Alex saw Kara walk in and knew why Kara was here. She smiled but when she saw the look on Kara's face she knew something was wrong. Alex walked over to Kara.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just super worried. I mean what if they react almost negatively like Winn and James did?"

"They reacted badly?"

"Sort of. They kept making references asking if it was safe for me to be pregnant while saving people and stuff. But I told them I was fine." Kara explained. "Not that they don't help me with Supergirl stuff, but I feel like the D.E.O will be ten times more than what the boys felt."

"Well if J'onn was here I'm sure it wouldn't be too bad." Alex said. "He's working on a mission out in another state for a week."

"Lucy?"

"She's with her dad doing some military stuff."

"So, your in change?"

"I wish." Alex said. "There's another woman here to be in charge. Rebecca Doyle. She's a little tougher."

"How so?"

Alex made a face at Kara. "Tough."

Kara sighed. "Perfect."

"Maybe Barry could come here and help out."

"Maybe." Kara said. She pulled her phone out of her boot, dialed star twice and nine twice and punched in Barry's number to text him. Anyway you can come here to DEO and help me tell someone?

Five minutes later, she received a message back: be there soon.

Kara decided to wait for Barry to show up before telling anyone. Kara chewed on a banana while she waited. Her stomach began to turn and felt nauseous. An idea came to her mind. She stood up and left the main room, to another room.

Kara opened the cell door and walked inside. "Mom?" She woke up. The hologram of her mother came up.

"Hello Kara." The hologram said.

"Mom, I'm not sure if you can tell me anything about this, but I'm just a little worried. I'm trying to remember when Kal was being expected but I didn't pay attention too much. Mom, what's it like being pregnant?" She asked. She hoped the hologram of her mother could tell her something.

The hologram of her mother was silent for a moment. "It's a wonderful thing, Kara. Such joy to carry a little one side. Especially for Kryptonian women."

"Why's that?"

"Unlike other species, our bodies are more protective by destruction minus kryptonite. So our children that we carry are protected greater than others. Our bodies, however, do not expand."

"Expand?" Kara asked, looking down at where her baby bump should be. "Is that why I don't look like I'm showing yet?"

"Yes, Kara. Our bodies do not expand."

"Why?"

"It's the same way we do not gain weight."

"But, it's a baby growing inside. Shouldn't our bodies grow as the baby grows?"

"Our DNA is different. Our DNA prevents us from having an expanded abdomen." The hologram said.

Kara sighed. "And I was really hoping for a cute maternity outfit. Wait, how come Kal's mom had an expanded torso."

The hologram replied. "She never had an expanded abdomen, Kara."

"I swore she did."

"She had a small expanded abdomen, Kara."

"Mom, I'm lost." Kara said. "What do you mean she had a small abdomen expanded?"

"Our DNA prevents an expanded abdomen, but every woman is different. She had a small expanded abdomen, where I did not have one with you. Our DNA doesn't allow us to expand out as a human. Just a little bit if the DNA provides it."

"So will I be like your or like her?"

"Every woman is different, Kara." The hologram explained.

"Hey, Supergirl!?" It was Barry.

"Gotta go Mom." Kara said, then turned the hologram off. She sighed. She sometimes wished her mother was still alive and with her.
