Kara slept well surprisingly during the night, minus the few kicks she received from Baby Allen. She woke up at her usual time and then made her way to work a bit slowly. She wasn't in the mood to work but she also had no excuse to take an off.

She checked her phone on the bus. Ten missed calls from Barry since ten minutes after she told him to leave. They all said the same thing. "I'm sorry. I will love you forever. I'm here to talk when your ready." Was he ready to talk? He had been pretty angry last night and then upset after Kara said she needed to take a break from him. She had no intent on breaking up with him and she felt guilty if that's how he took it. She just needed to take some time for herself and figure out what she wanted for herself. Then once she figured it out, she'd connect to Barry and speak it out. Only then after they spoke, they would determine two things;

1)What sort of relationship did they have?

2)What was their future with their baby in their lives?

Cat was in meetings, again for most of the morning. Kara sat down at her desk, but didn't focus much on her work.

"Hey," James walked over. "What's new, Kara? How was that double date last night?"

"Bad." She muttered. Before James could ask anything, Kara continued. "It ended with Barry and I getting into an argument and I told him that I needed space." Kara then shot a glare at James. "And don't you dare tell you-know-who about this. He's going to assume that Barry did something to hurt my feelings and he'll go all monster on him."

"Wow, monster?" James smirked.

"You know what I mean. Same goes to Lois."

"Fine, but if he finds out about this and harasses me about not saying a word about his family member getting hurt, I'm throwing the blame on you."

"Just as long as you punctuate that it was me who broke things off. My decision. If anything, Barry keeps trying to talk to me about it."

"What did you both fight about specifically?" James took an empty chair and sat next to her."

The blonde rubbed her temple. "Well, I sort of...cheated on Barry."

"Cheated?"

"Yeah...with Adam."

"Your ex?"

"Yes. A week ago. In the office here."

"Working late?"

"Yes."

"And what happened during that?"

"Adam and I made out in his moms office for a while. And there was, uh, some touching." She blushed a bit. "Chest touching."

"Chest touching?"

"Yeah... I let him touch me..." She said. James made an awkward face. "I know! I know! It's horrible I let that happen."

"Well who kissed who?"

"Me. I kissed him!"

"Because why?"

"I was so stressed!" Kara shouted. "Like, Barry and I hadn't spend much time together because we're both super busy with work and stuff and, I just felt ignored, I guess. So the attention that Adam was giving me I really, really liked it."

"Your ex made you feel better?" James asked, getting to the point.

"Gosh, you're making this sound a lot more worse than it actually is or needs to be." The blonde sighed. "We're just on different wave lengths lately and I don't know where we're going with this relationship."

"Do you wanna break up with him?" James questioned. Kara shrugged. "That's not a real answer."

"I don't want too. I feel in my heart we're meant to be together. But my gut is telling me that we're probably just better off as friends."

"Okay, say that your gut is right. What's going to happen with a little Meta Alien running or flying around?"

"Ha, you've got that right." Kara smiled. Then frowned. "I don't know. That's another thing we haven't spoken about. His Earth needs Flash, this Earth needs Supergirl. I don't know how we're going to raise a child together if we're not even together in the same universe."

"You're going to have this kid almost any day now." James reminded. "You should probably figure it out before the kid is born."

"Damn it. I know." Kara sighed. "I just don't know anything anymore."

James gazed at Kara for a few moments. He then took her hand and firmly gripped it in a friendly way. "We've got your back." He said.

Kara smiled. "Thanks. I guess I needed that reality check."
