Ok so here's my first ever fanfiction! Just to let you know, this story is set as if Rachel didn't die in The Dark Knight. It's my first time so please excuse any mistakes. Let me know what you think. May be more to come.
Rachel Dawes sat on her bathroom floor miserably. After Harvey had died she was a bit messed up to say the least but could she blame that for her running into the arms of Bruce Wayne as quick as she could? They had kissed before outside the ruins of Wayne Manor after the incident with Dr. Crane but that was where it ended, although she still haboured feelings for him just as much as he did her. She kept those feelings at bay for a long time but one lapse of restraint and they came flooding back, just when she was at her weakest. That night with Bruce had been amazing but the next day she told him that it was a mistake; that she was upset and not thinking clearly, but she still loved him, more than anything on the planet but Rachel told him that they would never be together unless Batman was gone for good; and Bruce was not ready to let that go yet. They had barely spoken ever since. That was then, and to say her opinion had changed considerably now would be an understatement. The truth was, Rachel Dawes knew she was in trouble as she waited for the results of the pregnancy test that she had taken a minute or so ago. She already knew what the result would be but couldn't help but hope for a negative result though the chances of that seemed slim to none. Rachel's job in the D.A's office was extremely stressful, so she thought nothing of it when she missed her period two months in a row, but when the third month came around she knew there was something wrong. She had also started to feel ill and was gaining a lot of weight recently and that led her to buy the home pregnancy test that was now torturing her. Looking at her watch, Rachel saw the time was up and reached half-heartedly to grab the little white stick. She shut her eyes tight and took a deep breath before opening one of them to see the result. As soon as she did Rachel sighed wearily. She wanted to scream every curse word known to man when she laid her eyes on the small pink "+" in the indicator screen of the test. Rachel Dawes was definitely pregnant and the father was none other than her best friend Bruce Wayne (A.K.A Batman!). Then something weird happened; she actually smiled for a minute. That smile didn't last long though when Rachel realised that she would have to tell Bruce that she's having his baby, she would never be able to have an abortion. There was another option though: Rachel could pack up all her things and move to another city. She quickly laughed at herself for even thinking that, to flee Gotham just because she was pregnant seemed more than a little rash. No, Rachel was going to have to tell Bruce sooner or later, but she couldn't just arrive over to his house and break the news to him when they hadn't spoken properly in nearly three months. That would be insensitive. Instead, she decided to start making her way back into his life again little by little.
