"Say something. Please. Are you mad?" the Luthor tried to read the room, she tried to read what the Kryptonian was feeling, anger, rage, frustration, hatred?

But she couldn't. So it came as a surprise when  Kara said, "no"

"What?" Lena had asked for confirmation

"I'm not angry. I'm tired of being angry Lena, I really am. I don't know why this keeps happening, this communication problem we seem to be having. I don't know how I can make you understand that you don't always have to protect me, I can take care of myself and as much as I appreciate you trying to protect me, Lena I'm Supergirl, I should be the one protecting you. You doing things and keeping things from me just because you don't want me to get hurt doesn't help me, baby. I feel like you don't trust me with the truth, and it really sucks Lena, it really does."

"I trust you, Kara, I do. I really do" Lena tried to reassure her

"Then show me you do. Don't hide things from me to spare my feelings. Please." Kara begged

"I will. I will. I'm sorry I haven't always shown you" the Luthor apologised as she held Kara's hands

"Come here" the Kryptonian instructed as she pulled her closer to her chest.

"Thank you for not breaking up with me" Lena conversed as she looked into Kara's blue eyes

"Never," Kara said as she hugged her tighter, then continued, "almost did though" she chuckled

"Why didn't you?" Lena asked

"I love you too much" she only said

Minutes later, "Kara?" the Luthor asked for her attention

"Mmmh" she responded

"I really I'm sorry" she stated

"I know. I know baby. I know" Kara assured her

Then the room went silent again when Kara noticed Lena had fallen asleep, she just smiled and kissed her forehead. 

"C'mon, let's get you to bed," Kara said as she carried Lena in bridal style

~~~~~~~~~~

That night the Kryptonian couldn't sleep, her mind kept her up, she couldn't stop thinking about the baby and Lena.

Lena was pregnant with her baby, something she had hoped for and prayed for since she found out Lena was pregnant, yet there was something wrong.

She couldn't shake the feeling.

So in the middle of the night, she woke up kissed her girlfriend goodnight and flew to the fortress of solitude.

Of course, it didn't take long for her arrival.

"Good morning Kara Zor El" Kelex asked politely, "aren't you supposed to be sleeping?"

"I couldn't sleep Kelex. What do you know about Kryptonians impregnating other species?" Kara asked

"What species?" Kelex asked

"Humans?" Kara replied much intended to be a statement rather than a question, but it still sounded like a question nonetheless

"Humans?" Kelex asked for confirmation with a horrifying tone

"Yes" she confirmed

"Oh Kara Zor El, what have you done?" Kelex asked as it went straight to the main system and pulled up some weird charts on the screen.

"What is it Kelex? why do I feel like something bad is going to happen? It's like I'm on the edge of something" Kara tried to express what she was feeling but she couldn't quite put it in words

"That is because Kara Zor El, you cannot under any circumstances impregnate a human species," Kelex told her

"What?!!! Why not? What happens when a Kryptonian impregnates a human species?" Kara asked as she moved closer to see the charts on the screen

"if you do, then you have doomed whoever is having your child Kara Zor El" Kelex only stated

"What do you mean doomed?" Kara asked as she gradually became frustrated

"I mean you have sent Lena Luthor to a death sentence. She will die" Kelex explained

"What?!! you're not making sense Kelex and what are these charts showing?" She finally yelled at Kelex, after a long night of wanting to release her anger at something, she finally did

"A human being cannot bear a Kryptonian child, simply because it is impossible to do so, especially here on earth" Kelex paused then continued, "Lena Luthor cannot have your child, she cannot bear the child in her womb"

"why not?"

"Because it is a Kryptonian child. That changes everything. The pregnancy will last 12 months, before then the baby would have consumed ms Luthor"

"what do you mean, I don't understand?" Kara asked

" I mean if Lena Luthor was to give birth to your child, she will die during birth or months before birth. The child will feed off her until there is nothing left of ms Luthor"

"Is there a way to stop that from happening?" Kara asked as she lowered her voice

"No ms Zor El, I am sorry. However, you can still have the baby if Lena Luthor was put into a coma for a year under the red sun of course. But as soon as she gives birth, she will die" Kelex explained

"Are you implying that I choose between the woman I love and my child?" the Kryptonian yelled in frustration, her anger rising again

"Yes, Kara Zor El. That is what I am saying. Lena Luthor or your child. You can't have both" Kelex said then continued, "You only get one" Kelex said as it took its leave, leaving Kara alone.

The Kryptonian didn't stay there for long, she couldn't. She needed to be close to Lena, she couldn't stand being away from her after what she just found out.

So she flew back home, she walked through the door as she didn't want to wake Lena up. But it was pointless as Lena was already up.

"Kara?" the Luthor called

"hey, why are you up?" Kara asked trying to smile but even her fake smile could get her that far, it was impossible to show any kind of happiness after that night

"I couldn't find you in bed so I woke up, couldn't go back to sleep, I thought you went out for a Supergirl emergency but since you're not wearing your suit, I can imagine not" Lena stated but her tone was more questionable than stating

"Yeah no, I went to the fortress of solitude" she only said, not even looking Lena in the eyes. It was too much

"Everything okay?" the Luthor asked

"what?" Kara asked as if she had been caught doing something wrong, "yeah everything is fine, why wouldn't it be?" she tried to assure Lena but Kara wasn't a good liar, Lena knew something was wrong, she could feel it. But she didn't want to push it, so she let it go. At least for the moment.

In seconds Kara was in front of her, "thank you" she said as she embraced the Luthor in a very tight hug

Kara didn't have to explain what she was thankful for, Lena knew, she always knew.

And so, for that night, Kara took Lena to bed for the second time. You can only guess that she couldn't go to sleep.

As she lay there, holding the woman she loved, she only wished that she could take her place. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride on. 

A/N: I felt generous, so here goes nothing.
