Clark Kent, a.k.a Superman had fought villains, monsters and things that shouldn't even existed without batting an eye, but when he heard his boy friends' big news he felt as if the world suddenly stopped spinning and time stood still.
"What did you say?" He asked, unitentially ripping his newspaper in half, his blue eyes wide as he gawked at his green skinned boyfriend. The blonde in question glared at the other, his magenta colored eyes narrowing as his blonde hair fell into his face.
"I just said, and repeat. I. Am. Pregnant." Clark nodded, so he did hear him right.
"H-how did this happen?" his face finally went to normal as he looked at the blonde, ushering for him to sit with him on the love seat. The other did, wrapping his arms around his knees, biting his bottom green lip in worry.
"Well, you see…" He thought desperately how to explain it without it sounding too weird. "Homosexual relationships on Colu are not common but not discouraged, so because of a decline in population centuries ago male coluans found a way to reproduce so the species wouldn't die out. It took a lot of DNA bending and hormone changing to make it so that the body wouldn't reject the baby and the gene is now in every male Coluan. But normally the gene is activated when the Coluan male feels the race is in danger of extinction. My body must have acted on instinct." He blushed fiercely as he looked away from his Kryptonian boyfriend.
"You're keeping the baby?" The question took the Coluan by surprise and he blushed even more.
"It's up to you Clark." Eyes met for a second or two before both looked away. "I support any decision you make." Clark looked for a section at his green boyfriends face then to his stomach that was still lean and flat as a board.
"How long have you been pregnant?" Clark questioned, placing his hand on his stomach as if to feel for himself. He didn't dare use his x-ray vision; he would rather die then do that to the other.
"About a few weeks."
"Do you really want a baby?" Brainy looked confused, chewing on his bottom lip as he thought.
"I do, but im ok with holding off for now." He confessed, playing idly with his blonde hair to give his shaking hands something to do. Clark thought for a moment. He had more then enough money to take of this child, Ma and Pa would get off his back. He didn't see anything wrong in keeping the child. In fact he thought the baby would bring him and his boyfriend closer.
"Then… I want to keep it." Clark watched Brainys face carefully; making sure what he said was accepted.
"Really?" Brainy looked up in shock, he thought that Clark would be in favor of an abortion. But this changed everything. "Are you serious?"
Clark nodded, giving him a small smile. "I am, I think that this baby will bring us closer… and I just can't imagine getting rid of it. Even after its born, it's going to be part of both of us and… I always wondered what it would be like to have a child." He began to grin, his eyes brightened slightly.
"I guess then this was a happy accident." Brainy cooed, wrapping his arms around the Kryptonian, resting his head on the others chest. "I hope he/she looks just like you." Brainy muttered. Clark looked taken back at the words brainy muttered. Did the boy really hate his blood line that much?
"Well I hop he has your eyes." Clark whispered, kissing the other lightly before he could protest…
