Supercorp prompt: Lena telling Kara she's pregnant :)

Combining these two!

Lena stood in the bathroom, her hands trembling as she looked down at the stick.

For a while Lena thought she would never be able to do this, she had accepted that it just wasn’t meant to be and moved on. She was happy with Kara and after confirmation that she was infact dating and now married to Kara Zor El of Krypton aka Supergirl she just figured their life wasn’t headed in that direction.

That was until they went to the park and she saw Kara helping a little boy find his parents. The way Kara was so soft and loving towards him made Lena feel so warm. The conversation had been difficult and awkward and both of them ended up crying. The first month afterwards had been rough and Lena had been scared that she’d messed it up. What she hadn't expected was for Kara to return home one night telling Lena she had a present for her. A month of secret researching with Alex and finding more out about Kryptonian DNA had Kara suggesting something Lena definitely did not expect.

Kryptonian DNA was vastly different to human DNA and Kara had just been so excited to help Lena conceive a child that would be biologically both of their’s. Their attempts were unsuccessful for a while and Kara’s face fell more and more each time and instead she threw herself into Supergirl duties but one glass of wine too many and Lena found out just how giving Kara could be. 

She’d been sick for the past few days and when she realised she was late she had called Alex’s number so fast. The startled agent had dropped off the test, face full of so many questions but Lena just could not answer them. As if reading her mind Alex had called Kara mid-fight and asked her to come back as soon as possible. So when Kara burst through the door rushing to her side she was a little overwhelmed, immediately bursting into a flood of tears.

“Oh my god, baby are you okay?”

Lena can only nod her head against Kara’s neck but then Kara is pulling back, her hands cupping Lena’s face as she uses her thumb to swipe some tears away.

“What’s wrong Lee? Are you hurt?”

“I- I have something to show you,”

Kara blinks in confusion, her eyes darting down to the item in Lena’s hand. It takes a moment and then Kara is beaming, her eyes twinkly with tears of her own.

“We did it?”

“We did.”

Kara’s squeal fills the room and then strong arms are wrapping tightly around Lena’s waist and she’s being lifted off the ground as Kara spins them around before leaning in to give Lena a passionate kiss. They only break when Kara hears a cough, both turning to see a bemused and slightly horrified Alex stood in the doorway.

“I take it that means it’s good news?”

Kara nods as she takes a hand and places it on Lena’s stomach, looking back at her wife with nothing but adoration as she speaks.

You know, back when I first read Perez and Diana was talking about how marriage is a weird thing she’s never seen before, my reaction was basically “what straight nonsense is this.” But the more I’ve thought abut it over the years, the more I think that’s actually the correct take - I don’t think Themyscirans have marriage.

Because what would their context for it be? Basically they’ve only ever seen two systems. One, the one their gods use, is pretty much 100% meaningless - it’s a bunch of largely incestuous connections that are used to determine the general hierarchy of the Olympian family, with no bearing on how any of them relate to each other either emotionally or sexually. The other, the one the Greeks around them use, is a simple exchange of property between a father and a prospective groom, with a social function of ensuring paternity and the support of children. Both have a thin veneer of romance attached to them, sure, but amazons would be intimately familiar with just how little that fantasy had to do with the reality of the average woman’s experience of the institution. So it’s hard to see how they’d have any use for it or interest in it; they don’t see each other as property and either don’t have children, or don’t need to know they’re physically related to them to be willing to put resources into caring for them.

No, but I’m actually trying to get into them! 

My taste in books/shows/stories in general is really specific so I never found comics appealing since I just assumed it’s all superhero stuff (which I’m not really into) but now I’m learning that I just wasn’t looking hard enough.
