Kon hated when the phone rang at 3 AM. For one thing, he liked his sleep, and it was always him who ended up picking up, not Wanda. But worse, it was never something good. Sure, there'd been the time that Tim had called him to freak out because Cassie was pregnant, even if he'd denied later that it had been a freak out, but usually?
"Kara needs back-up, now!"
"The world's about to end! Where are you?"
"Bart's cut off from the speedforce and injured."
"Uncle Kon? I kinda climbed up to the roof and I can't get down. Can you get me in without waking Mom and Dad up?"
"I'm sorry, we did all we could. Martha's gone."
But just because it was almost always bad news didn't mean he would ever, ever ignore it. No one called for unimportant reasons at 3 AM. So when he heard the phone ring, he groggily flew out of bed and grabbed it.
"'Lo?" he muttered, walking down to the kitchen.
"Mr. El?" He recognized the voice of Dr. Stan Krummett. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Dr. Krummett had helped Kon and Wanda clone a baby with DNA from both of them. But there had been more and more complications every week.
"Our baby," Kon managed to say, struggling to keep his voice steady. "Is she all right?"
There was silence on the other end. "This is… I don't know what to tell you, Mr. El."
Kon closed his eyes and sunk down to the floor. He leaned back. "Tell me."
"Project El has disappeared."
Kon took deep breaths and tried not to freak out. He'd been working on mediation. Losing his temper was not okay. "What do you mean… disappeared? Did someone steal the project?"
"That's the strange thing. None of our notes were taken, none of the life support, just Elly."
"Elly?"
"Oh, that's the nickname the doctors have given the embryo. I… I don't know what to tell you, Mr. El. But it doesn't look good. Outside the life support systems, there's pretty much no chance your child could have survived."
Kon bit his lip hard and worked on keeping his voice even. He would not cry on the telephone. "That's… Wanda will be crushed."
"I'm so sorry. I have no idea how this could have happened. We'll try again, of course. With added security and everything."
Wanda walked out of their room wearing only a robe. The moonlight reflected off her swollen belly. She sat next to Kon and put her arms around him. Kon leaned against her, only half-listening to Dr. Krummett's confused half-crazed sounding explanations. He rested her hand on her belly and felt a kick.
Wait a minute.
He looked up at Wanda and she grinned at him. Kon all but dropped the phone.
"Um, Dr. Krummett? Mind if I call you back?"
"Of course, anything. You'll want to tell your – " Kon hung up.
Wanda giggled.
"Gonna explain how you're all of a sudden pregnant, babe?" Kon asked.
"I was wondering how long it would take you to notice!" Wanda kissed his cheek.
"I've noticed. Is that…?"
Wanda looked away and rested her hand on her belly. "Ick told me there were complications in the cloning process."
"Ick's a traitor."
Wanda whacked him gently. "What happened to telling each other everything?"
Kon shook his head. "There weren't… they were working on it. They could figure it out. I mean, we were never sure it would work."
Wanda leaned her head on his shoulder. "You should have told me it wasn't working."
Kon opened his mouth to explain himself, then closed it again. "You're right, I'm sorry. I was going Batty. So how does this lead to you being pregnant?"
Wanda smiled again. "Well I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly thought, why am I leaving our baby in a cold unfeeling test tube when I've got a perfectly good uterus? So I moved her."
Kon sighed. "Wanda! That's really dangerous! You know magic's my weakness – "
"I've noticed." She smirked.
"Not like that! Well, yes like that but just for you. But anyway! What if using magic on our unborn Kryptonian baby screws her DNA up?" He shifted and sat up. "This is why I didn't tell you! I knew you'd do something like this!"
Wanda gave him a hard look. "This is about your magic prejudices, isn't it? I'm saving our baby! Who cares that it's not your science stuff that's making her? She's still ours!"
"But, I – "
Wanda shook her head. "I'm mad at you now. No sex until she's born."
"But – "
"No buts!" Wanda crossed her arms and flounced into the bedroom. She stuck her head out of the door and gave him a dejected look. "Plus… now I'm fat!"
Kon sighed and followed her into the bedroom to assure her that he found her sexy even while she was pregnant. He hoped Wanda would change her mind about the no sex thing.
She didn't.
Elora Magdalena Kent, or Elora Kon-El, was born on January 6, 2019. She weighted 8 pounds and made all sorts of healthy baby noises. The doctors were amazed that the baby was so healthy. She'd been born two months before she was due.
And Kon promised never to doubt Wanda's magic prowess and control again. At least until the next time that they argued about something.
