“I love you so much, Alex,” Kara whispered reverently, taking Alex's face in her hands and kissing her.

“I love you too, Kara,” Alex answered between kisses.

Kara walked them backwards to Alex's bed.  “You make me so happy.  You're so perfect for me.  The Matchmaker itself couldn't have found me a better mate.  I'm so glad I got to choose you.”

Alex melted into her embrace with tears in her eyes.  “I'm glad you chose me, too.  You're way too good for me.  I don't deserve you.”

“Are you kidding?  There's no one on this planet that compares to you, Alex!  You're the best there is, and I'm so lucky to have you!”

Alex threw herself at Kara, pressing their lips together hard.  She crawled into the blonde’s lap and ground her hips down.  Kara groaned loudly.  “Was that OK?” she checked.

“Yes,” the Kryptonian hissed, grabbing the human's hips and directing her to repeat the motion.  “Oh, great Rao, that feels so good!  She flipped them over onto the bed and lay in between Alex’s legs, grinding down into her and kissing her at the same time.  She relished the little mewling sounds Alex was making, and the smell of her arousal was making Kara crazy.  She needed to be inside her mate, like now.  “Alex, are you ready?  I need you so badly.”

Alex nodded.

“No,” Kara shook her head seriously.  “Say it.”

Alex bit her lip in embarrassment but she managed to get the words out. “Make love to me, Kara,” she murmured.

The Kryptonian used her super-speed to undress them both.

“Kara!” Alex chided, covering herself with her arms.  

“What?” she asked, confused.  “You said you were ready!”

“Don't you want to savor the moment a little?”

“Of course,” she answered automatically, but she really didn't.  It burned in her to just be doing it already.  However, for Alex's sake, she would slow down... a little.  She kissed Alex's face and neck all over and reveled in the feeling of their naked skin rubbing against each other.  Her hands pushed Alex’s arms away from the breasts they were covering, and she just stared for a moment.  “You are so beautiful, Alex,” she spoke with awe.  

Alex blushed all the way down to her chest with another bite to her lip.

She traced her fingers along the edges of the human’s breasts, then over her nipples, watching her reactions.  Alex squirmed under her hand, breathing heavily.

“Rao, you feel so good.”  She could feel her cock brushing against Alex's pubic hair as they moved.  “Can I be inside you now?”

Alex chuckled at her impatience.  “Yeah, come on.”  She opened her legs a bit more to allow her lover access.

Kara grinned and lined the tip of her cock with Alex's pussy, dragging it through her arousal to wet it.

“Go slow!” Alex warned.

Kara nodded and gently pressed forward, but she slowed at Alex's whimpers.  “Are you OK, baby girl?”

“Yeah,” Alex grimaced.  “I know it's supposed to hurt the first time, but goddamn!”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s bigger than your average human.”  Kara was a little worried now.  “Do you need to stop?”

“No,” Alex assured.  “It's supposed to get better.  Just keep going, but gently.”

Kara grit her teeth.  Gentle was the last thing she wanted to be right now.  But she'd be damned if she hurt her Alex any more than what was absolutely necessary for the moment.  Her muscles trembled and her breath shook with the self-control it took to keep steady.  She groaned as she pushed in a bit more, then whimpered when Alex whimpered.  “Are you OK?”  She wanted inside so badly, but not at Alex’s expense.

“It’s OK,” Alex panted.  “It doesn’t hurt as much now.”

Kara kissed her with trembling lips.  “I love you, baby girl.”

“I love you, too, Angel.”

The Kryptonian very slowly pushed herself into Alex until she hit resistance.  “I don’t think I can go in any further,” she announced.

“OK,” Alex said, gripping her shoulders tightly.  “Now move slowly.”

At first, Kara just rocked her hips a bit, not really thrusting at all.  Then after a minute or so, the scent of Alex’s arousal started to get stronger and the girl’s insides became wetter.  Kara started to drag herself in and out just a tiny bit.  The urge to thrust full-force was powerful, and she started to sweat a bit from resisting it.

Alex seemed to enjoy the change of pace, if the new noises she was making were any indication.

“Is that good?” Kara checked.

The girl nodded with a grin.  “Yeah.  It barely hurts at all now.  Mostly, it feels really good.”

“Good,” Kara returned the grin and started moving a little more fully, but staying at a slow pace.

“Oh, yes!” Alex encouraged.  “I like that.”

Kara was thrilled to hear those words.

“You can go a little faster now, if you want.”

The Kryptonian didn’t even answer, she just moved inside her partner, still shaking with restraint.  Great Rao, she wanted to just pound the ever-loving daylights out of the girl, but still, she held back.

“Are you sweating?” Alex asked, astounded.

Kara nodded.  “Yes," her voice was shaky.  "It’s really hard to hold back.  My body doesn’t want to go slow.”

“Sorry, but we have to work up to going faster.”

“I know, baby girl,” Kara assured her with a kiss.  “I know.  I don’t want to hurt you, my love .  Don’t worry.  I only want to do what feels good for both of us.  I won’t go faster until you say so.”

“Actually, you can go a little bit faster.”  She cried out when Kara did.  “It doesn’t hurt anymore,” she panted.

Kara took this as permission to pump in a bit harder.  The cries coming from Alex’s throat were completely intoxicating, and the girl’s bouncing breasts were hypnotic.  She grunted and groaned in pleasure, slowly increasing her pace until she was more comfortable with the rhythm.  “Oh, great Rao, it feels so good to be inside you, Alex!  Do you know how good you feel to me?  You are so perfect.”

Alex pulled her into a kiss in answer, her desperation coming through loud and clear.  “Kara,” she moaned, “I love you so much!”

“I love you, too, Alex!” Kara whimpered.  She was so close.  “Oh, Rao, I’m gonna-  Alex, I’m gonna-a-a-ah!”  She came before she could even get the words out.  She panted heavily, but didn’t stop.  Her cock was just as hard as when they started, if not more so.  “Oh, wow, oh Rao!  Oh my god!  That was so amazing!  You’re so amazing!”  She kissed Alex’s forehead.  “Now, we’ve got to get you to do that.”  She reached down and searched for Alex’s clit.  “I’ve been studying about sex, and this is supposed to be the sure-fire way to make a girl orgasm.”  She circled around the area of her clit a bit clumsily, but Alex still cried out happily.

“Oh my god!  That feels so good!” the human bucked her hips into Kara’s hand, as she continued to thrust inside of her.

“You like that, my love?”

“Oh, yes!  Don’t stop!”

Kara didn’t stop.  She pumped into Alex harder and faster as she continued to rub circles around her clit.  “Are you OK?” she asked.  Alex was crying out so loudly, she had to check.

“Y-yes, Kara-a!”  Her legs started to shake.

“Oh, Alex!” Kara grunted.  She was getting close again.

Sooner than she expected, Alex was coming, screaming and shaking and digging her fingers into her back, which set off Kara’s second orgasm as well, and this one triggered Kara’s knot . Alex yelped loudly when it was fully swelled inside her.  

“Ow!  What’s happening, Kara?  That hurts!”

“I’m sorry!” Kara exclaimed and tried to pull out.

“Fuck!  Stop!  That hurts worse!” Alex howled.  “Just stay still.

They lay there panting, and waiting.

“Why did it do that?” Alex demanded.

Kara huffed.  “It’s my knot.  It’s supposed to keep the sperm inside to make pregnancy more probable.  At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen for two Kryptonians.  For us, it just means we’re stuck together for a little while.”

“How long is a little while?”

Kara frowned.  “I don’t know.  I’ve never done this before!  They say like fifteen minutes?”

“Seriously?” Alex huffed.

“But that was on Krypton, so I really don’t know.”

"Great," Alex groaned.

“Are you OK? Kara asked.

“Yeah,” Alex breathed.

“Does it still hurt?” Kara asked.

Alex shook her head.  “Not as long as you’re staying still.”

The silence that followed was a bit awkward.

“What are we supposed to do while we wait?” Alex asked.

Kara bit her lip.  “Well, we could make out?”

“OK, that works for me,” Alex smirked.

When about ten minutes had passed, Kara tested her knot to see if she could pull out, and when she could, Alex sighed with relief.

“Can we go again?”  

Alex nodded and pulled Kara down to kiss her. “Give me a couple minutes, then yes.”  After another kiss, she remembered.  “But don’t knot me again.  That hurt.”

“OK.” Kara agreed.  She was elated. Her heart was so full to overflowing with joy at finally being able to make love with Alex that she just couldn’t stop grinning, couldn’t stop kissing her, couldn’t stop fucking her.  They were at it for the majority of the next couple of hours, (changing positions a couple of times when Alex complained that her hips were hurting) until Kara heard Eliza’s car coming down the road.  She pushed their limit and dragged one last orgasm out of Alex before they finally stopped and made themselves presentable.

By the time Eliza walked through the front door, the bed sheets were changed, the bed was made, and their desks gave every appearance that they’d just been doing homework this whole time, all thanks to Kara’s super speed.  They even made valiant attempts to actually do said homework, but that didn’t quite work out.  They were too busy daydreaming about what they’d just done.  Eliza told them they looked like the cat that ate the canary, and Kara silently mused that she hadn’t even tried eating Alex because she’d been in such a rush to get inside her.  She’d have to try that later.  The girl smelled delicious.

The next morning, Kara awoke feeling better than she ever had before.  Like, a million times better.  She felt stronger, if that were possible, and more confident.  She felt proud of herself.  She pressed her nose into Alex's neck.  Her lover smelled a bit different - sweeter - and it made her pride swell even more.  She was a good Alpha.  She could feel it in her bones.  

Even better, her pants fit her properly this morning.  And, after she and Alex had stayed locked in their room until Eliza’s car pulled into the driveway, for the first time in almost a week, Kara was actually able eat dinner downstairs at the table without fear of embarrassment.  It was such a huge relief.  She wondered if Alex would want to do it again after school that day.  The thoughts got her body misbehaving, and she sighed.  Better try to steer clear of those kind of mental images until later.

Apparently, Alex felt the misbehaving member pressing into her.  “Sorry, Kara, but we're not doing anything with my mom around,” she mumbled sleepily.

“I know,” The Kryptonian whispered.  “I didn't mean for that to happen, I was just thinking about yesterday and wondering…  if we could do it again today…  When we get home, I mean.”

Alex smirked.  “Yeah, I’d like that.”

Kara grinned.  She was definitely a good Alpha.  She was infinitely grateful that she didn't have that insatiable ache in her belly anymore.  The desire was still there, loud and clear, but she felt like she could finally function.  She was overwhelmingly in love with Alex Danvers and the whole experience was a perfect way to let her pour out that love.  “Excellent!”

XXXXXXXXXXXX

About a week later, Alex started getting sick.  It wasn't bad, really.  Just a bit of nausea and vomiting in the early hours of the morning - not enough to convince her to stay home from school, no matter what Eliza and Kara said.  (“It's the end of the year!  I don't want to have to make up exams just because I have a little stomach bug!  It's not even that bad!”)

It wasn't until about the second month, though, that they figured out why.  It happened quite by accident.  Kara had been laying her head on Alex's lap when the Kryptonian held her head against Alex's stomach to listen, then used her X-ray vision to look.

“What?” Alex asked at Kara’s shocked expression.  What is it?”

Kara’s face slowly turned from surprise to elation.  “Oh, great Rao!”  

“What!” Alex demanded.

“You're pregnant!” Kara squealed delightedly.  She stuck her nose against Alex's neck and breathed deeply.  “That's why you smell so differently!”

Alex just stared at her.  “Say that again?”

“You're pregnant,” she grinned and kissed her lover soundly.

“OK, you're gonna need to say that in English because you can't possibly have just said what I think you just said.”

Kara lost a bit of her enthusiasm at Alex’s shock, but she was unable to help the smile still on her face.  “Alex,” she spoke slowly, “You're pregnant.”

Alex didn't speak for several moments, then, “I thought you said you couldn't get me pregnant.”

“I didn't think I would be able to.  Isn't this amazing?” she bounced in her seat.

Eventually, Kara’s delight must have broken through the shock because Alex finally started to smile too.  “I get to give you a baby?”

Kara bit her lip and held two fingers up as she nodded.  “Two babies,” she confirmed, starting to tear up.  “Oh, Rao, I'm so happy, Alex!”  She threw her arms around her partner.

“Two?!”  Alex started to hyperventilate.  “Oh my God!  That's insane!  My mom's gonna kill us!”

Kara finally faltered at that.  “She is?”

“YES!  Are you kidding me?  I'm only seventeen!  You're only sixteen!  AND, we're having not just one, but two babies!  She's gonna flip her shit!”  She tried to take slower breaths before she passed out.

“On Krypton, we would already be married, I would have presented at least a year earlier, and we would already have our babies. This should be a time for celebration, not of panicking!” Kara insisted.

“OK.  You get to tell that to my mom,” Alex countered.

“Fine, I will,” Kara answered.

Alex scoffed.  “Good luck with that.”

“Are you not happy, my love?”  Kara pouted a bit.

Alex softened at the question. “Of course I'm happy, my sweet angel.  I told you I would give you all the babies you could handle, and I meant it.  I'm just scared of my mom's reaction.  We started a little sooner than I would have liked.  Now we have to try to finish school with two kids.  That's gonna be pretty challenging.”

“Oh.”

“Kara, look at me.”  When the Kryptonian obeyed, she continued, “Kara, I am so, so happy.  I'm so lucky, and so honored.  I can't think of anything that would make me happier than giving you a family again.”

Kara squeezed her tightly.  “Thank you!”

“Easy, Angel!  I know you're excited, but you can't squish me, or you won't get your babies!”

“Sorry!”  Kara kissed her forehead a half-dozen times.  “I love you so much, Alex!” she announced in between kisses.  “You mean everything me.”

“I love you too, Kara.  You're my whole world.”
