Chapter 129
Later on that night Karen and Donna were standing to the side as they watched Connor and M'gann play video games with M'gann's cousins.
"So, we're gonna play matchmaker tonight and finally bring them out of their denial tonight right?" Karen whispered to her girlfriend.
"Definitely. I'm not sure how much more I can take of M'gann prying into our love life just because she doesn't have one of her own. And this has been torturing everyone in our community. Wally, Artemis, Kaldur, Jen, Tim, Stephanie, all of them. We're all sick of it. Good thing this is the perfect time of year to play Cupid." Donna agreed as M'gann walked over to them, having given her controller to Jon.
"You know I can hear you right?" M'gann asked.
"I thought Connor was the one with superhearing." Karen said unashamedly.
"He turns those off when he's playing video games so he can focus on them." M'gann said.
"True. Boys go into their own world when they're playing video games. But do you really think we feel bad about plotting to finally get you and Connor together, since you're killing all of us with your denial." Donna asked.
"Actually, I was gonna talk to you two about that later, since I had a talk with my dad while I was on Mars and he already convinced me it was time to stop denying what everyone can see between Connor and I. It's the same thing you two have. So, I need you two to help run interference to make sure that we're not interrupted when I get him alone to make a move." M'gann said and both her friends nodded.
"Consider it done. I think that now's the best time to do it, since all the adults are occupied and your cousins are pretty distracted." Donna said, right as Karen quickly sped out and returned.
"What was that?" M'gann asked.
"Me doing you a huge solid." Karen said as she handed her some mistletoe.
"I owe you big time. Now, time to go get my man." M'gann said as she moved to pull Connor outside.
"M'gann, what are we doing out here?" Connor asked as they stood in the backyard alone.
"We need to talk privately and I think you know what it's about Connor." M'gann said.
"This now?" Connor asked, since he did know what she was talking about.
"Yes this. We've been dancing around this since the moment you first saw me back in that pod in Cadmus before Karen, Donna, Tim, Stephanie and Jen freed us. Hell, I'm pretty sure I was the first thing you ever saw when you first opened your eyes after Cadmus finished creating you. And ever since we escaped, we've always had each other's backs, trusted each other more than anyone else, even our families. And I'm tired of denying why." M'gann said as Connor suddenly rushed forward and kissed her.
"Thought that might shut you up before you attracted an audience." Connor said with a smirk after he pulled away from her stunned face.
"Tell me why you're suddenly acting on it, since every time I've tried to bring this topic up since we got back from Mars, you've shut me down." M'gann asked.
"I wanted to wait for the right moment. And this seemed like the right one. Even if you forgot to levitate that mistletoe above us." Connor said and M'gann smiled.
"So, does that mean what I think it means?" M'gann asked.
"M'gann M'orzz, will you be my girlfriend?" Connor asked.
"I thought you'd never ask. Yes, I will. And now, let's do this right." M'gann said as she used her telekinesis to hover over them as they kissed again.
Later on that night, after everyone had eaten, Diana decided it was time to make her announcement. Especially since she'd been avoiding drinking any alcohol, even though normal human alcohol wouldn't affect her, she didn't want to take chances and she could tell that people were noticing.
"Since I can tell that several of you have your suspicions, I think it's time that Steve and I made an announcement." Diana said.
"What is it?" Clark asked.
"Effective immediately, I am withdrawing from active League service for at least the next nine months." Diana said and Hippolyta was the first one to realize why.
"Diana, you're pregnant?" Hippolyta asked her daughter, who nodded happily and Diana was immediately swarmed by the ladies, headed up by her mother and sister, who congratulated her while Steve was pulled aside by the men.
"Congratulations Diana. Take all the time off from the League you need, though now it makes me glad we're going to be adding to our ranks soon, since even though Arthur's back on active duty, Laurel's still out and after she gives birth, both she and Oliver likely won't have as much time anymore." Kara said.
"Thank you. I have to admit, I never saw myself becoming a mother before, but I am very excited. Especially since this child can be the true bridge between Steve's world and mine, since half human, half amazon." Diana said.
"Let's hope your little one is kinder to you than you were to me when I was pregnant with you." Hippolyta said with a smile.
"Now I'm glad that you're staying in man's word, since I'd like to have your advice, but we will be going to Hephaestia for the baby's birth." Diana said.
"Of course. And I guess now the entire original trinity has come full circle, since both Clark and Bruce are already married and have kids now you've joined them." Kara said.
"Think you and Lena will have kids some day?" Diana now asked her.
"Maybe someday, but for now, I'd like to focus on our wedding." Kara said.
