"Kara?" I hear Alex knocking on the door. "Coming!" I say as I wipe the tears out of my eyes. I quickly put the picture of Mon-El and I back in the Romeo and Juliet book. I put the book under the couch. I like to read the notes he wrote in it when I really miss him. I open the door and see Alex standing outside with a bag. "Potstickers! For you and the little one." She says holding up the bag and smiling brightly. "Yum." I say faking a smile and trying to hide the fact that I was just crying. Alex walks in and sets the bag on the counter as I close the door. She studies my face for a while. "Are you okay?" She asks. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I say as I try to keep my voice from cracking. "Kara, I know something's up. I know you and you know you're not a very good liar." She says pointing to my 'crinkle'. A tear rolls down my face. "Ugh, why am I crying?" I laugh. "There are a couple of answers to that question but the top one is that you're pregnant." She laughs, leading me to the couch. "Ok, spill your guts to me." She says pulling me into a hug as we sit down. "I just... miss him so much, Alex. I don't know how I'm gonna do anything without him. Especially raise this baby. And I can't be a good mother if I'm broken." I sob as she rubs my back. "No, Kara you're not broken. And you're gonna be an amazing mother. I know it." She says soothingly. "But how can you be so sure?" I ask upset. "You've always been so good with kids and I-" "Because I know you." She cuts me off. "And you are the strongest and kindest person I know. You always work through your problems whether it's as Supergirl or Kara Danvers. This little baby is gonna be so loved." She tells me holding my face in her hands. "And he or she is a piece of Mon-El. He'll always be with you. You and him will always be connected by this baby." She says looking down and smiling at my little bump. "Hey, you've also got me. And I'm gonna be the best. Aunt. Ever. Right?" I start to laugh. "Yeah, you're right." I say wiping away my tears. "Thanks, Alex. I love you." I say pulling her into another hug. "Ok, I'm starving. Let's dig into those potstickers." "I'm down." She says leaping off the couch and bringing the bag over. "So, what should we watch? The Wizard of Oz?" She asks handing me a potsticker. "I like the sound of that." I agree snuggling into Alex as she puts her arm around me. As we watch the movie, I think of what it will be like to be a mother. I can't wait to teach he or she how to walk and read. I can't wait to teach them about the constellations and planets. I can't wait to debate with them about what we should name our puppy. I can't wait to hold them so tight when they have a bad dream. And I can't wait to tell them that the world is a better place because they're in it. I smile to myself as I think of these things. But my smile slightly fades as I realize that Mon-El will not be here for any of those things.
