Cassie/Jason
She was afraid. Terrified. What would she tell him? What if it was true? Would he understand? Would he stay?...
She walked down the hall to his living room. Her breathing was deep and he heart was pounding so fast. He was sitting on the couch with his computer out. Probably trying to hack into the bank account of some rich drug lord. Or just triggering down Batman's security system again just for fun.
"Jace.." she said, her voice small. He turned to look at her for a second then looked back at his screen and continued what he was doing.
"What?" he said uninterested. She pressed her lips together. She was getting annoyed. Why couldn't he just turn and listen to her? Why was it so hard for him to just give her his attention?
"Jason." Her voice was louder this time, she stood taller. He stopped typing on his computer and gave her his attention. She only said his full name when she was being serious with him.
"What's wrong?" he said getting of the couch and looking at her with a confused look on his face. The courage that she had managed to get a few seconds ago was now gone. His fram towering over her, getting closer.
"I-I.." she stuttered, unable to get the words out. " I missed m-my period." She said. She was looking at the ground. She couldn't look at him. She was to afraid. When he remained silent she looked up at him. His face was stone. She couldn't guess what he was thinking. And then suddenly..
"WHAT?!" His voice boomed. She was not expecting that at all. She backed away from him. "What do you mean you missed it?! When was it due?" his face was now a combination of angry and worried.
"I'm-I'm not really sure. I should've gotten it last Thursday b-but I haven't gotten it." Her voice was small again and tears started to well up in her eyes. He saw that she was scared. Her lip began to quiver. The fact the he had yelled wasn't good. He didn't mean to freak out so much, but he was surprised.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled." He said and wrapped his arms around her. "It's probably just late." He said trying to calm them both down.
"Jason, I'm never late for my period. Ever. It's always on time." She said and pushed away from his shoulders to look at his face. "And this morning I vomited my guts out!" she was getting panicked.
"But you can't be pregnant." He said shaking his head "We use protection, we always do." He was trying to think back on the times they had sex. Always.. he always made sure they used a condom.
"Maybe the condom broke. I don't Know." She was bitting her nails. What would Dianna say? Or Bruce? They all told her to stay away from him. They told her he had problems and to just leave him alone.
When they first found out Jason was back they found out he was killing all the major crime lords in Gotham. He was trying to be a better Batman. They some what shunned him for going against there no killing rule.
Cassie wasn't like them. She didn't care. If he had killed inocent people she would have more of a problem. But he only killed the bad guys and besides he has stopped. He would do it if necessary but he hasn't killed anyone sinc e then. She befriended him and their relationship grew. Diana and Buce, however, didn't know that. What would they do? They weren't exactly on good terms with Jason as it was. They would deffinitely throw a fit it they thought he would be a father.
"Nothing is for certain yet" he said. He was trying to remain in control and not let the nerves get to him. "We don't know for a fact that you're pregant. It's not for sure." He said pulling her back into his arms.
"Jace, but what if I am?" she started to tear up again. "What are we gonna do? What am I gonna do? What would I tell Diana? Or my mother? What would my friends from Themyscira say about me?" tears rolled down her face.
"What happened to the girl that didn't care what people think?" he whispered to her softly. "It's gonna be okay. I'll take you to the clinic tomorrown and if you pregnangt…" he thought about how it would be. How hard it would be for her. She loved being a hero and she was only eighteen. She wasn't ready for this and he was twenty –one, he wasn't ready either. But he would have to be.
"We'll figure something out.' He said calmly. "We'll take care of the baby and I'd take care of you both. And it doesn't matter what Bruce and Diana would think." It's been three years since he came back to Gotham and tried to be a better Batman. After the whole problem was over he was still mad at Batman but he's been letting it go. Hime and Bruce haven't been all that close since then but he always gets the invites to the parties and Christmas gatherings. Bruce still wants to in a way help but he doesn't truly understand.
"It'll be okay Cass. I promise." Jason wasn't the gentle kind of person. He said what he thought and did what he wanted. He was unreasonable at times but Cassie had so much patience for him. He was gentle with her because she was gentle with him and she was his only true friend for a while. She gave him a chance.
Jason had made an appointment to take her to the clinic like he had said. They were in the room waiting for the nurse to come back with the results. She was scared and helled on to Jason's hand with an iron grip. Mostly because he was letting her.
Jason wasn't much for showing public affection. He would almost rarely hold her hand in public but that was okay. She didn't mind. It was just how he was. Whenever she was scared or mad at him he would hold his hand out for her, it would put her in a good mood to hold him and not be afraid to show people.
"All right then Ms. Sandsmark" the nurse said as she walked in. Jason and her jumped slightly. He held her hand tighter and she took a deep breath.
"You are not pregnant." The nurse looked at them and smiled. They both let out a relieved breath. "You are simply late for your period I guess. It just happens sometimes. You body is changing it's cycle a bit nothing to worry about. And you probably threw up the other day because of food poisoning or something, but you are in perfect health and nothings wrong." The nurse smiled and started to walk out.
"Wait" Cassie called after the nurse. " Could you recommend a good birth control or something? Please?" the nurse smilled and started to talk to them about some better protection they could use.
"Uuuuhhhhhhh" Jason let out a deep breath. They were arriving at his condo. "That was such a close call" he said to her. He walked into the kitchen and started to pull out some stuff to make them lunch.
"Jace, I thought you said you were gonna take me home." He said lookind at him from the living room. He leaned over the counter and sighed.
"Cass we just surrvived a pregnancy scare and its barely after twelve." He went to turn on the stove. "I think we should celebrate. And it's way to early to send you home." He stared to cut up vegetables.
"But don't you have workas you put it?" she emphasized work. She knew he was just gonna try to get dirt on another crime lord. He didn't kill them anymore but he would shut down there business. He would stop the trafficking of women and drugs and break into their bank accounts and use the money to get the stolen women in rehab. And he would keep some of the money for himself.
" I can do that any other day. Today is just me and you babe." He said. She sat on the couch and kicked her shoes of and hugged her nees. It wouldn't have been that bad, would it? She thought to herself.
"if I was pregnant.." she began to say. Jason put the food down on the table and gave her his full attention. "I think we would be great parents." She smilled to herself "You would be a great dad." She looked at him. he was touched that she thought that.
"And you would be a great mom." He said and kissed her. "Maybe… some day.. when we're ready." He walked back to the table and sat down and started to eat. She went to sit next to him.
"So you're saying you would marry me and have a kid with me someday?" she watched him squirm. She started to eat her food and didn't bother waiting for the answer.
When she finished she washed her plate and went to his room. She sat on the corner of his bed and sighed. She was hurt that he didn't answer her. Jason never really opened up to people he was usually cold and sarcastic with them. But never with Cassie. She thought that maybe since she had gotten serious with him and he trusted her that maybe he would settle down with her. He would constantly tell her that he loved her. But to what extent?
She heard the door open and immediately looked up. Jason was leaning on the door way. He went and leaned down in front of her. He had his head down and sighed.
"I am so lucky to have you" he said to her. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Of course I could picture my life in the future with you. It's just… Since I came back.. from you know.. dying. Marriage wasn't something that was on my mind." He took a deep breath and looked up at her. "But that doesn't mean I don't want to. When I thought that you were pregnant I was prepared to take care of you and my child. But just because you aren't doesn't mean we should rush into it-"
"I know that." She said, interupting him. He hated being intrupted and she knew that but she couldn't help it. He let it slide. "I didn't say we should rush into it, I meant in the future." She said deffending herself.
"Well I didn't get that at first so I'm sorry." He said looking her in the eye. "I'm not ready for it yet, but I will be.. with you.. in the future." He said his words sincere. "Maybe we'll actually tell Bruce and Diana that we're together before we get engaged." He said with a smile on his face. She laughed and ran her fingers through his hair. He leaned in to kiss her.
She moved back on the bed to let him climb on. He shrugged of his jacket and pulled her shirt off. He started to kiss up and down her neck while she tugged at his shirt.
"Off" she said. He quickly discarded his shirt and stared to tug at her pants. He yanked them of and started to undo his belt. She ran her fingers up and down his body as he kissed her roughly. Jason deffinitely knew how to keep in shape. But she was Wonder Girl and so did she. Still she had some insecurities. She couldn't help it. She felt like she wasn't good enough for him. she crossed her arms in front of her chest to shield herself from Jason's rough marks of affection.
He grabbed onto her wrists and pinned them to her sides.
"I love you so much." He said as he stared to suck on her skin. "You are so beautiful." He said as he undid her strapless bra and threw it to the ground. He began to suck on her breast and she couldn't help but moan.
"Isn't this what got us in the whole pregnancy mess in the first place?" she said slightly out of breath. She heard him chuckle. "Be gentle."
He let out another chuckle and looked down at her. The smile on his face so mischievous.
"You know I never am." He said and continued down and pulled off her panties. She moaned as his mouth made contact with her. Yes, she knew. She smiled and moaned more, running her fingers through his hair. And she loved it. She loved him. No matter what.
