Karamel: A Not So Little Lie

Don't Underestimate the Allure of Darkness

Kara POV

"I'm what?" I say, thinking I misheard. Alex doesn't move her gaze. 

"Your pregnant Kara." My eyes widen as my brain registers what she's saying. I'm pregnant. I unconsciously look down at my belly. There is a child inside me.

"I-" I don't even know what to say. What does this mean? Will I have to stop being Supergirl?

I start to cry. Alex pulls me to her and she lets me cry it out. What am I going to do. The only thing I can think about is Mon-el.

"I have to tell him." I sniffle out. Alex rubs my arm. "When your ready Kara. Let yourself come to terms with what's happening, okay?"

I nod. Alex doesn't let go as she comforts me. Now I know why I've been feeling weird lately. We decided to go to bed early tonight.

The next morning I woke up late, with what felt like the whole world on my shoulders. I'm going to be a mom.

With that thought happiness washes over me. I've always wanted to be a mother, I just didn't plan this so... soon.

"Kara? Are you awake?" Alex calls from the living room. "Yea." I say getting up. "Okay, I made breakfast!" I slipped on my old pair of slippers and started walking down the hall.

All of a sudden my stomach curled and I felt as if I was going to hurl. I rushed to the bathroom and opened the toilet seat.

"Kara? Shit Kara are you okay?" Alex said rushing into the bathroom as I got sick. I couldn't answer, my stomach felt like it was turning inside out and over again.

Alex sat on the edge of the tub as I flushed the toilet and leaned up against the wall. "Why do they call it morning sickness if it hits you at every hour of the day?" I say, tears brimming.

"Hey, it's going to be okay." Alex said grabbing my hand. I try my best to smile up at her but my face doesn't seem to work properly and it looks more like a grimace. Alex went into the kitchen to grab me some water while I sat, trying not to vomit.

She walked back in and gave me the glass. I took small sips, not wanting the liquid to twist my stomach again. "Thanks Alex." She nodded. "You can stay here as long as you need you know."

I smile and nod, taking another sip. After about five minutes my stomach calmed down and I got up. We planned to go in and talked to J'ohn about the whole pregnancy thing.

My hands were sweaty as I walked up to the DEO doors. Alex smiled warmly as she pulled open the door.

We were greeted by everyone, me being in my suit as to not give away my identity to people who didn't know it.
"Ka-urr Supergirl? Why aren't you flying in?" Winn asked walking over to them.

I decided in that moment that she was going to tell him. "Can I talk to you?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow at me and looked at Alex. Alex nodded at me.

I started walking to the training room and he followed. "Hey is everything okay?" He said placing a hand on my arm. I took a deep breath and turned to him.

"Winn I'm pregnant." Winn's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say something, hesitated, then closed it again. He didn't look away, only studied me. I smiled. "Are you being serious? This isn't some cruel prank right?" 

I looked down at the ground. I felt like crying again. "No, I'm not joking." Now I felt like crying happy tears. Stupid mood swings. I looked up with a smile. "I think that uncle Winn has a nice touch to it, don't you?" I asked.

Winn's mouth hung open. "Your really pregnant?" He asked, getting excited again. I nod. "I'm really pregnant!" Winn let out a thrilled laugh and then pulled me in for a hug. "Kara that's amazing! How did Mon-el react when you told him?"
