Love is complicated

Chapter 12 Time

Kara woke up sweating, she didn't think, and immediately called Mike.

"Kara? It's 3 am, you know that, right?" Mike said, sleepily.

"Yes I know... will you please come here? I need you."

"Alright I'm on my way, are you okay?"

"Yeah everything's okay I just can't do this alone." He hung up.

He quickly got there, walking in and approaching her bed. He was out of breath "Hey... what's wrong?" He asked, hopping in bed with her.

"I just need you to wake up with me."

"I would absolutely love that, Kara," he said, kissing her head.

"I love you Mike," she muttered against his chest. She started taking off his shirt, running her hands up his chest and around his neck. She pushed him to reach his face, kissing him.
"Kara I- you're pregnant, we can't do it," he said, pulling back.

"Please, just for a second, I need you," she mumbled, getting on top of him.

"Kara, no, come on we can't do it," he said, pushing her gently off him.

"Fine, Mike, have it your way," she said, lying dowb. Mike kissed her neck, her jawline, and her cheek. He started slowly removing her shirt.

"I can undress myself and besides I am already dressed for bed," she said, turing to face him.

"Yeah I know I just do it so much better," he replied putting his hands around her waist and kissing her lips passionately. He started pulling down her pants, outlining her underwear.

She moaned, "Michael let's not do that please," she said, pushing him away.

"So two minutes ago you wanted me and now you don't? What did I do?!"

"You got me pregnant," she said, coldly

"I- oh come on Kara Danvers! We are in love you can't expect me not too make mistakes with us!"

"Yes but I didn't want this, I wanted a future, I never wanted kids."

"Well nothing we do can change the past."

"Yeah I know, but I don't know if I can be a mom and a girlfriend and a reporter"

"I know you can. Wanna know why? Because you are the strongest person I know."

She smiled softly and started to cry.

"Thank you, Mikey."

"Of course, princess." He smiled back and kissed her lips softly. They fell asleep in each other's arms again.

Kara woke up late. She didn't have work, but wanted to get a article done.

Mike was out of bed and she smelled food.

She ran over, "what smells so-"

"No no no, I am trying to make you breakfast in bed! I was going for full romance here and you have ruined it."

"There's no way your getting between me and bacon and biscuits and oh is that a poached egg? I didn't know you could do that!"

"Yeah well there's a lot of things you missed in the last couple of years."

"I'm impressed, you have changed."

"Yeah?" He said, softly kissing her cheek.

"Definitely," she said, smiling and sitting down, starting to eat.

"You know, you will be an amazing father."

"Aww you really think so?"

"Yeah I do," she said, smiling.

"Kara I love you."

"I love you too."

"So does this mean we are a couple again?"

"I guess so, I mean just no more sex. Last night I was alone and sad, and confused... I have so many hormones right now. It's hard to control them"

"It's okay, I promise we don't need to do that. Let's be actual adults here and take care of this baby together."

They ate and showered, Kara was lying down, touching her stomach.

"We need to decide some names," she said to Mike who was in the shower.

"Yeah, we should, give me a minute and we can decide."

"Okay," she said, standing up and getting some water.

He came out in pants, "so do you have any names in mind?"

"Well if its a boy Kai or Jack, I don't know, if its a girl maybe Mia, or Lauren or Hayden!"

"Love those names babe, how about we find out the gender and we can decide?"

"Maybe... my sister is a doctor maybe we could go visit her today?"

"Yeah let's do that, let me finish getting ready."

"Okay," she replied, falling asleep. Mike didn't want to wake her, he thought it must be hard dealing with those emotions and hormones, it must make her tired. He realized that all this time he had been acting like his teenage years, but he was different now. He was more mature and ready to be a father with the love of his life.

Few hours later.. Kara woke up with a slight cough. "Mike?" she called, looking around the room.

She got up and touched her stomach; she was starving. She looked in the fridge she got a bottle of soda. She heard the door open.

"Oh hey you're up, how was your nap?"

"It was fine, for how long was I asleep?"

"You fell asleep at 12 pm and slept until 5 pm."

"Oh wow, slept a lot then."

"Yeah but let's eat, I knew you must have been hungry so I bought potstickers."

"Oh my god you're the best!" she said, grabbing his shirt and pulling him closer. They're lips fell on each other's and they kissed passionately for a minute.

"Here, eat one or all of them, we can go see Alex once you have eaten."

"Okay that's amazing thank you," she said, smiling a bit.

"So umm, Mikey, how do feel about being a father."

"I love it, I have always wanted to be one and, I am glad its with you."

"Awww yeah?" she asked, smiling and kissed him with a mouth full of food.

"Yeah," he replied with a grin

"So now that we are um together, do you think we could just be safe go out more until my belly gets bigger?"

"Yeah, of course whatever you need, I will do that. I wanna help you in any way I can."

"Thank you, Mikey."

"Of course, babe."

They kissed and enjoyed their dinner, before going to see Alex in the doctor.
