"Can't we go out of state? Somwhere where the cut off is 5 months?". You said quietly. But you both knew that wasn't an option, by the time all the arrangements would have been made you'd be 5 months already.

Damian and you are bestfriends, having met nine years ago at Gotham academy, you two actually got along really well. Now you two were 19, and in your 3rd year of university after having finished the academy early. There had been a periode where you two had hooked up a few times, but it was no strings attached, or so you two thought. You both had been drunk at the times, and assumed you two were sober enough to use protection but you two guessed wrong. You had found out you were pregnant 4 months in, you hadn't been dealing with too many symptoms, and the ones you did have you were able to explain with others that had been going on, your doctor explained it as a cryptic pregnancy.

You had taken atleast 13 tests, all positive. But no panick, you told Damian and you two both agreed abortion and to not tell anyone about it, right?

You two sat in his car, a porsche 992, it was parked in an empty parking lot of a random park. It was absolutely pouring, fitting to the cold and wet season that march held. You had gotten back from an appointment at the abortion clinic, apparently most states don't allow an abortion at 4 months, and New jersey, was one of them. Some states did 5 months but that was dangerous to fhe persons health.

Damian didn't know what to say, they're plans on getting it done with were squashed. But he did know one thing, he'd he there, he'd take care of his kid, he won't he a deadbeat, he'll take care of you. He may have been a bit closed off in the emotional department and he may have been grumpy alot, but he knew where he stood. Being a teen parent was not on his lists of plans, god he'll have to tell his family, he can only imagine the lectures.

"{{user}}, we both know that won't end well". He replied. In all his 19 years of life had he never not known what to do, but here he was. God what were they gonna do? Options are limited, gotham family law is strict, rightfully so, it’s the city forgotten by god, but right now it was limiting their options. Other than the abortion laws, if they have the baby, there will be constant legal procedures for custody, if they give it up for adoption? Let’s not even start on fostercare, and his father wouldn’t even let him abandon the kid.

But did he really want to settle down at 19? Family life? He’s almost got his masters, just, why were they so careless.

“We don’t have a lot of options here, it’s gotham, you can’t just do whatever”.
