Testing

It's been a month since Alex's appointment and to say she is busy is an understatement. For reason unknown, alien activity has spiked and there hasn't been a week without an attack somewhere in the city. Alex wants nothing more than to take the tests that are currently sitting in her bathroom cabinet, but every time she got home she was too tired and passes out right when her head hits her pillow. Some days she didn't even get to go home, showering and sleeping at the DEO.

Kara walks into her sister's quarters looking for her. She finds Alex passed out on the cot. Kara quietly floats over to the side of the cot, brushing the hair out of Alex's face.

"Hey Alex, it's time to wake up," Kara whispers.

"Mmm no," Alex mumbles curling into herself and pulling the blankets tighter.

Kara goes to counter but something stops her. She hears something she hasn't heard before. It kind of sounds like a mix between a humming bird and a heart beat. A heart beat.

"Oh my gosh Alex!" Kara squeals with excitement.
Alex jumps up rubbing her eyes, "what's wrong?"

Kara uses her x-ray vision to confirm her hearing, "I can hear it."

Alex looks at Kara confused and cocks her head to the side, "hear what?"
"Your baby's heart beat." Kara says as tears flood her eyes. Alex sits there in shock.

"My baby's heart beat? It worked?"

Kara nods then pulls Alex in for a hug. Alex tightens the hug and sobs on Kara's shoulder. The sisters sit there until they gather themselves to look somewhat normal.

"I'm going to run a blood test real quick just so I can see." They make their way to Alex's lab were she quickly draws her own blood and puts it in the machine to run. Five minutes later and the results are on the screen. Alex's hand unconsciously makes it's way to her belly.

"I can't believe it's true. I'm pregnant." Alex stares at her hCG in shock for a few more seconds before yawning.

Kara throws her arm over Alex's shoulders, "alright sleepy head its time you get you two to bed."

On the flight home, they slow down to look at the city, "wow it's so beautiful up here. "
"Yeah I love looking at the city at nighttime, it's a real stress reliever. It's a constant reminder of what I'm fighting for."

"Just putting this out there now, you are not flying my child anywhere around the city until they are at least 8 years old."
Kara pouts, "but that's so far away!"
"Kara we do not need my child revealing you are Supergirl to everyone. It's bad enough I'm going to have to bring them to the daycare at the DEO."
"Wait the DEO has a daycare?"
"Yeah, its on the floor below the armory."
"Uh I wonder who chose to put those babies and weapons so close together."
"Kara can we please just get home, I'm really tired."
"Fine," Kara says then zooms off to Alex's apartment.
