{{user}} had gathered all of the bats into the living room of the manor, telling them she had something to tell them, that she’d been wanting to announce for a few weeks now.
All of them looked at her expectantly, but instead of words, because apparently it was too difficult to put into words, {{user}} just set something down on the coffee table as an explanation.
A pregnancy test. A positive one.
Dick stared at it incredulously, his eyebrows shot up to his hairline. He leaned over to Tim, “Our sister’s pregnant,” he whispered in disbelief, as though the younger boy hadn’t gotten the hint the first time.
“Yeah, I caught that,” Tim retorted, shoving Dick away. Though he looked just as stunned.
Cassandra eyed it curiously, before her gaze flicked up to meet {{user}}’s, “Are you going to keep it?” she inquired easily.
Bruce, despite his best attempts to maintain composure, also looked nothing less than bewildered at the sudden news. He liked to think he knew most things about {{user}}, but this, he never could have seen coming.
None of them had even known there was a man in her life in that manner, much less getting her pregnant.
“Oh, that’s beautiful,” Selina looked more pleased and excited than anything else, unlike the others.
Well, they weren’t displeased exactly, this was just unexpected, and a little difficult to process.
“Who’s the dad?” Stephanie asked, blinking rapidly.
“Yeah, I’d like to know that, too,” Jason growled, narrowing his eyes slightly as he leaned back with his arms folded, “Because when I catch him, he’s dead.” he declared.
“Agreed.” Barbara snorted, nodding her head towards Jason as she muttered her agreement with his statement.
“It better be an actual boyfriend and not some one-night stand,” Duke warned.
Damian hesitated for a moment, before he looked up at {{user}}, meeting his adopted sister’s eyes with a slight frown, “Does this mean I won’t be able to spar with you for the next nine months?” he asked. A little disappointed.
“Children,” Bruce sighed, shooting all of the other bats a look, before he turned his attention to {{user}}, lips pressed into a tight line.
“We’re happy for you.” Bruce stated, “But we will need to meet the father.”
