A/N; Banette suggested the name for me, so this is for her. There was this 'if they had a kid' meme thing going around on tumblr and I decided to start doing a drabble thing for Joning on it. Because it would be cute to see them as a little three person family.

Summary: Sometimes Jo was certain Lightning didn't know what gender their child was. 'if they had a kid' drabble thing.

It's a... WHAT?!


、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Sometimes Jo was certain Lightning didn't know what gender their child was.

She guessed it was hard for the Bonehead that she had an undefined relationship with since he was calling it "he" since the second he found out that it was in the womb. And then when the time came for it to be born (after she'd spent numerous hours cursing his name), the words "it's a girl" were too much of a shock for him to hear.

"Sha-scuse me?" He had been reeling, doing a complete double take at the news. "It's a WHAT?"

Jo wasn't sympathetic at all. "You heard her Jockstrap. It's a baby girl and you're a father. Congrats. Ever do that to me again and I'll personally castrate you."

Lightning wasn't even half interested in that threat. The pro-quarterback was just shaking his head and pacing. "Sha-no way is that true. It's gotta be a boy."

"Look, I'm not in the mood to deal with this Lightning. But if you have a problem with your daughter, you can get over it yourself." she didn't know what his issues were with girls anyway. Him and his 'team guy' or whatever. She would've thought after all these years she had taught him a thing or two about how much stronger girls were to guys but apparently not.

"So what are you going to call her?" the nurse was asking.

"Lightning Two!" Lightning said striking a pose.

"Don't you mean Lightning the second?"

"Nope. I mean Lightning Two."

"Haven't you heard the expression Lightning doesn't strike in the same spot twice?" Jo liked confusing him.

"What has that got to do with...?"

Jo sighed and decided to be frank with him. "We're not calling her Lightning Two."

"Well whatever it is, it's gotta be strong. It's gotta be powerful. Sha-yeah. No son of ours is gonna be some sha-weakling with a wussy name like Cameron."

"Daughter, Lightning. You have a daughter. That's usually what 'it's a girl' means dumbass."

Lightning wan't listening however, he was deep in thought. "How about Tornado? That's big and strong and knocks down everything in it's path. Sha-bullsye!"

"What are we naming? A child or a natural disaster?"

"What's the difference? Our kid'll be ten times better than a natural disaster!"

"You do realize you just insulted our child."

"Sha-yeah!"

Jo wasn't going to explain to her protein pumped partner that an insult wasn't a good thing. She considered the name Tornado and then ruled it as a torturous name for the young kid who would already have enough to live up to with Lightning as her father. "We're going with Terri. A nice simple name that doesn't have anything to do with uprooting people's houses."

Lightning's brow creased heavily. "Terry? I thought you said it wasn't a sha-dude."

"It's a girl's name sha-Clueless."

"Lightning ain't heard of no girls named Terry."

"Well now ya have, Bonehead. Enjoy it. You have a daughter named Terri."

Now that Jo thought back on it, maybe it was partly her fault that Lightning had so much gender confusion over the years. It wasn't as though she dressed their daughter in pink ever and Terri ended up having so many game balls in her room that it was starting to look like a sports equipment closet. But it was sweet to see Lightning be the doting father, even if he doted on her by getting her a new team jersey every year.

And even if he spelt her name wrong repeatedly for eight years running.

I don't know how Lightning would get by without Jo explaining things to him sometimes...
