A/N: Sorry it's been awhile. I'm writing for 2 fics right now and this one is the harder of the 2 so I haven't been writing for this one as much as I would like. Anyway here is the next chapter. Enjoy!
Diana wasn't sure how to react. To many emotions were running through her system.
"You're pregnant. We're going to be mothers. Wait you just had whiskey. Alex, you can't do that and you shouldn't have coffee either."
Diana was reaching for the coffee mug in Alex's hand but she moved it out of Diana's reach. Diana made a move to get up but Alex thrusted a leg forward and gently placed her foot on Diana's chest
"The whiskey isn't going to happen again. I didn't have much anyway. As for the coffee, I am allowed to have a certain amount of caffeine a day this one cup is probably below that limit so it is the only one I will have. You're not going to take coffee away from me Diana so don't even try."
Alex watched as Diana slumped back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest and glared at Alex. She hadn't meant to come off so threatening but she had to give up so much for this pregnancy, for this baby. Coffee wasn't going to be one of them. Slowly Diana's expression softened.
"Ok your right. But only the one cup please. The whiskey thing I'll let go because I know you won't have any more the rest of your pregnancy and it was in honor of Maggie. You're really pregnant?"
"Yes, I've suspected for a few weeks but got confirmation yesterday. Like I said I had wanted to tell you last night but you had other ideas."
As Diana was getting over the shock of the whiskey and coffee situation she let the news sink in. She was going to be a mother. Something she thought she would never be. Truth be told she hadn't given it much thought. She had thought about it briefly after a night spent with Steve years ago. Even then it was the briefest of thoughts. She hadn't known him long.
Now she was going to be a mother with the kindest, smartest and strongest woman she knew. A woman she is lucky enough to call her wife. It was then that Diana remembered the other bit of news Alex had shared with her last night. She had been so overcome with gratitude and awe that she hadn't even really thought about it. Alex found Themyscira. Her home. She still had so many questions about how Alex had found it. Now that Alex was pregnant she wasn't sure when they would be able to search the area she suspected it to be in. But did that matter?
Waiting until after Alex had their child would be best and if she had indeed found Themyscira she would get to see her mother again and her mother would get to meet her grandchild. Diana was taken from her thoughts by a pair of lips capturing hers.
Alex had made her way into Diana's lap. Her wife was completely lost in thought. Tears slowly falling down her cheeks. Kissing her seemed like the only thing to get her out of those.
"You back with me Diana? What's wrong?" Concern written all across Alex's features.
Diana looked at the mild concern on her wife's face, wiped away a few of her tears and gave her a quick kiss before responding.
"Sorry, my love. Between you telling me about finding Themyscira and telling me this morning that your pregnant, I got overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with happiness. Growing up on Themyscira I never thought I would get to live this kind of life. Then coming out into the world to try and save it I find out that Zeus is my father. That I am half god, half human but not entirely human. The amazons aren't entirely human but they aren't gods either. I also didn't think I would be able to go home because I wouldn't be able to find it."
Tears were forming in her eyes again. She took a moment to collect herself. "But then I ran into you Alex Danvers. My life hasn't been the same since. Because your pregnant we can't go looking for Themyscira for a while."
"I know you aren't going to be able to wait 2 years to go back. What if I have Kara or J'onn search the area I think the island is located and when they find it record the location so we can go straight there."
Alex wasn't sure how to voice what she wanted because she wasn't sure it would be possible. She was just as keen on getting to Themyscira. Not for the same reasons as Diana. Well not entirely for the same reasons. The biggest reason for wanting to find the exact location she knew Diana would be on board for.
"If they manage to find it in time I want to have our child there."
Diana wanted that more than anything. But she wasn't sure how that would work out. She knew time went by much slower on Themyscira. Not by much but it would be enough time that Alex would be missed by the DEO longer than if she took her normal amount of maternity leave.
"Alex, you know how I want nothing more than our child to be born on Themyscira but are you sure you want to lose that much time in this world? What about the DEO? Can they afford for you to be gone for 4- 6 months in this worlds time?"
Alex understood where Diana was coming from and if the roles were reversed she might voice the same concerns. She leaned down and captured her wife's lips in hers. Kissing her tenderly. She pulled away and kissed her wife's forehead before looking into her eyes and tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Diana after our child is born I'm not going out into the field. At least not for a few years. I'm going to work mostly in my lab and possibly with Winn on some weapons upgrades and maybe even some extra protection for Kara since I can't always protect her. Not to mention I won't be going out in the field now anyway. Don't think you would like the idea of me putting our unborn child in unnecessary danger."
"No, I suppose not. If J'onn and Kara are able to search in their spare time and they do find it in time then yes Alex Danvers I would love nothing more than our child to be born on Themyscira. When are we going to tell our family?"
Alex loved the way she referred to their group of friends as family. Alex had always thought of them that way and so had Maggie. They had all been a little leery of Diana at first. While Alex and Kara had been stunned by her beauty everyone else saw something else in the woman. They all thought that she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen but they had seen the hardened warrior beneath her beautiful exterior. J'onn of course could read her mind and knew everything. But none of that information was his to tell Alex.
She did learn in time what Diana was and she wasn't fazed. At that point, she wouldn't have been surprised if Diana had turned out to be an alien. "I want to wait at least a month. We're still in the early stages. I don't want to tell them only to have to tell them I lost the baby because something happened. I mean I won't be able to keep it from J'onn with him being a telepath and all. Kara will eventually figure out I have another heartbeat attached to mine."
A small laugh escaped Diana's lips. Her wife was right. J'onn would find out as soon as she went into work tomorrow. Knowing Alex would try her best not to think about the baby but it would only work for so long. J'onn wouldn't let on that he knew. He would wait until Alex or Diana said something before acknowledging the newest addition his family.
Kara on the other hand wouldn't be able to contain herself. Even if she didn't find out before Alex had a chance to tell her she would still be a bundle of excitement. Maybe Alex should tell Kara and maybe bribe her with pot stickers for the next year for every sister night.
"Alex, I know you want to wait to tell everyone but I think it would be a good idea to at least tell J'onn and maybe even Kara now. You were right I don't like the idea of you going out in the field and putting our unborn child in unnecessary danger. J'onn will know why even without you telling him so why not get it out of the way now."
Alex thought about it and it made sense, "Yeah your right J'onn for sure but Kara I'm not so sure about. I know she'll know eventually and either way she won't be able to keep her excitement contained. I love my sister but that's the only issue I have is she is very much like a puppy. Very excitable and hard to control when she is excited. Especially when you tell her to keep it a secret, even with bribery she'll let it slip at some point."
Diana may not have known Kara as long as Alex but deep down she knew her wife was right.
"Let's bet on how long it will take Kara to say anything. Let's face it Alex, she might surprise us she could detect the baby's heartbeat and for once not say anything at all. I say she'll keep her mouth shut until we are ready to tell her."
Alex knew it was on. Diana was very confident in her wager. But Alex was more confident in how well she knew her sister. She mirrored the devilish look of her wife and gave her the signature Alex Danvers smirk.
"I'll except that bet. If I win I want food from my favorite food truck in Chicago once a week until the baby arrives. What's your wager Prince?"
Diana had to think about that. There was a reason they didn't place bets often. Diana had everything she could ever possibly want with the life she and Alex had created together. But there was one thing she had tried to convince Alex to do since they had been engaged.
"I want you to attend 6 months of cooking lessons with me."
Diana watched her wife's face closely. Alex was desperately trying to keep a straight face. It's not that she didn't like to cook she just didn't know how to do anything other than breakfast food. Maggie had always been the one who was a wizard in the kitchen and had tried to teach Alex but it had never ended well.
"Ok but just a friendly reminder of what happens when I try to cook anything other than pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon or sausage in the kitchen. Fire and potential explosions. I'm still not sure how the turkey exploded in the oven that one thanksgiving but it did and that is when Maggie, Kara and my mother banned me from cooking anything put breakfast in the kitchen."
"Well I think with the proper instructor you might fare better. Not saying Maggie wasn't a good teacher she just may not have been the best to teach you."
"You might be right but still I did warn you. Not that I think you're going to win."
"We'll see about that Danvers."
This morning had started out on a very somber note and Diana had expected it to stay that way for the rest of the day. She knew Alex would leave soon to go to Maggie's grave and leave flowers and talk to her but for now she was glad that her wife was in a happier mood and hoped it stayed that way. Either way she knew they were in for an adventure. They were going to be mothers and Diana couldn't wait.
A/N 2: I was thinking of doing a flashback for the majority of the next chapter. Starting off where we left of with this chapter and then flashing back to either Diana and Alex's second date before Diana leaves National City or flash back to the first time Alex introduces Diana to the SuperFam after they have been dating for a while. I'm not sure which one I want to do. So, if you would be kind enough to let me know in the reviews or a PM I would greatly appreciate it. Also reviews of the story thus far are always welcome.
