Revenge is a Sweet Wine
By: Malaizjan P.J. Shultz (formerly Malaizjan De Jesus)
Areina and Orin had returned home from their honeymoon in Shanghai and the fire controller didn't stay home to unpack...she headed out to find her 11 year old cousin. It didn't take long to find her as she was being flown around by Andrew, the Thanagarian.
"Molly; I need to talk to you please." Areina shouted to her cousin.
"Alright." Molly shouted back and Andrew soon landed and Molly walked up to Areina.
"I need to be checked for something...privately." Areina said, and Molly had a feeling what was going on.
"Alright, we can use mom's room, she and dad are away right now." Molly said, and with that the two Graysons headed into Dick's house.
Twenty Minutes Later
Areina had a smile as big as possible as she had wonderful news for her husband...her suspisions were correct, she was pregnent.
"thanks for triple checking, Molly; I just wanted to be sure." Areina said as she turned to her doctor in training cousin.
It was just then that Orin, Kaldur, Dick and Serenity came up to the house. "Honey, where did you vanish to?" Orin asked.
"I don't know how else to say it...but you're going to be a father, dear." Areina said, a deep blush coming to her cheeks and she looked down.
Serenity went and hugged her niece, as Dick and Kaldur fainted and as soon as Serenity released Areina, Orin took her and kissed her very passionately.
"So you came to Molly to make sure." Orin said as he released the kiss.
"Yea, I had a feeling on our honeymoon, but I didn't want to say anything till I got it checked out with Molly. I'm about a month and a half along." Ariena said as her uncle and father in law started to wake up.
It was just then that Roy appeared...he wanted to see his daughter after a long month apart, and when the saw Dick and Kaldur getting up off the ground, he KNEW something had happened. "Areina, what's wrong?"
Orin looked ready to run as this knew just might get him killed, but Areina gave him a reassuring look. "Dad, I just had it confirmed...you're going to be a grandfather."
Roy was dumbfounded, but after about five minutes he snapped out of the trance he seemed to be in and glared at Orin. "Really."
"Come on, dad; he didn't break my heart, Orin made me happier than I have ever been." Areina said as she glared back at her father.
"Even happier than when I was returned to you?" Roy asked.
"Yes; I only wish mom could be here." Areina said.
"According to Carlos, your mother's soul WAS reincarnated." Kaldur remarked.
"I don't mean just her soul, I mean her...the same mother I met back in the year 2016." Areina said, thinking about what all had happened over the past year.
Orin saw that Areina was about to cry, and he hugged her. Roy still wanted to injury Orin, but he figured that a joke would make his daughter feel better. "Orin...be lucky I didn't bring my quiver...or else Molly would have to heal you."
"DAD!" Areina said, and with a perfect batglare, her father then laughed.
Meygan had heard what was going on and if Areina was pregnent...then that meant the next Generation team was already growing. She knew for sure as Molly had checked. If her dad reacted like he did to his neice having a kid...how was he going to feel about his 17 year old daughter having one.
One Month Later
While Red Arrow, Archeron and Tigress were chasing the jewel thieves, at the Greyson Home, Meygan left the bathroom looking very pale as Kevin rushed over to her. "It didn't stay down?"
"No..." Meygan flew over to their bed.
Kevin had a sinking feeling something was really wrong. "Can I look into your stomach?"
"Um Kev...you don't have to." Meygan already suspected what it was.
"Why?" Kevin asked.
"Kevin...I'm...pregnant."
His eyes bulged out.
He then fainted.
Brian grinned as he pulled his head away from Meygan's door.
He rubbed his hands together.
Kid Flash was going to enjoy this...
Kevin came to. "Meyg?"
"Yeah?" Meygan sat next to him as he sat up.
"I'm going to be neutered."
Meygan took his hand and placed it on her flat stomach. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry? My princess, you're carrying my child. Don't be sorry." He pulled her into his arms. "We'll figure it out."
"I need to retire."
"I know."
Mordred watched as Meygan crawled into bed with her mate. His was furiously angry. It was all over his face.
He had his enteral youth spell broken by his master but another spell took its place.
He wanted Meygan. But she was pregnant at the moment.
Mordred then paused in his thoughts. Maybe he can do something about that.
All he needed to do was trap her in the Enchanted Forest. He could do the rest.
The next morning, after breakfast, which Meygan didn't eat, the original team was out on the beach, doing hand to hand combat training. Meygan had Brian as a partner so she thought it would be easy.
Brian had other plans.
He dodged a punch then did a combo that knocked Meygan to her knees.
Brian kneeled down. "I know."
Meygan looked at him.
"And if you don't want me to tell your dad, let me win this round."
Meygan couldn't believe it.
Brian was blackmailing her!
Brian then put her in a head lock.
Meygan was so sick, she didn't fight back.
Dick and Roy were talking among themselves when Dick saw Meygan go limp in the headlock.
Brian let go.
The two best friends ran over to them.
Meygan slowly sat up and then hurled all over the sand.
Dick picked his daughter up into his arms and took her to bed.
Brian looked worried.
"Why didn't you stop holding her like that?" Roy asked Brian.
"I didn't know she was sick!" Brian said in defense.
Dick then left the house without Meygan. "Molly, your mom needs you."
"Ok." Molly went to her house.
Dick looked to Brian. "You need to be careful and watch how long you apply that."
"Sorry Uncle Dick."
An hour later...
Kevin sat with Meygan as she was getting an IV in her. Her mom and his mom knew. His dad figured it out as he tried to pop Brian's head off his neck.
He had to tell the adults and he was terrified.
"Meygan, you finish that IV," her mother told her.
Meygan nodded.
Kevin kissed her forehead. Then he left her bedroom and went downstairs. The adults were in the living room along with Areina, Orin & Vincent.
Dick stood up. "Is she ok? Is it the flu?" he asked Kevin.
"It's not." Kevin took a breath and let it out. "I know why she's sick."
Vincent looked at Kevin. "Oh man..." he said.
"Kevin?" Dick glared at SBP. Hard.
"She's pregnant."
Areina gasped.
Dick looked ready to throttle Kevin. His glare was hard enough to melt Kevin where he stood.
"I found out last night," Kevin added.
Conner was ready to get between his son and Dick. "You better get married then," he told his son.
"I plan on it. As soon as she's better." Kevin meant it too.
Dick still didn't say anything. He just glared.
Kaldur and Orin shook their heads.
"Dick?" Kevin said.
"You are...i should kill you where you stand. But Meygan is sick as hell upstairs. And i don't want her upset." Dick was trying to stay calm but was failing.
"Wow, and I thought he was pissed with my announcement." Areina said, thinking back to last month
"I was careful. Honest," Kevin defended.
"Your mom had a rough pregnancy with you," Dick continued in the same dark voice. "Now you get to deal with that."
Kevin looked to his mother.
"I had to retire. You were hard on my body. And Meygan will have to deal with that."
Ok.
"Oh no." Kevin saw how the adults were looking at him. "I'll take care of her. Honest."
Dick walked up to Kevin, glaring into his blue eyes. "You better Kevin or no one will find your body. Got it?"
"DAD!" Meygan stood at the top of the stairs, eyes red. She slowly made her way down the steps. "Only I get to make him disappear. Got it?" She reached the bottom of the steps. "And I plan to marry him."
Kevin saw that Meygan was still weak so he went and picked her up bridal style. "You need that IV."
"Screw the IV. My dad was mad."
"I plan to look after you."
"I plan to retire. I want to be a mom. It happened sooner than i wanted. But i don't regret it."
"You sure?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah. I'm sure. Now back upstairs," she said with a smile.
"As you wish, my princess." And Kevin took her back upstairs.
Serenity looked to her husband. "Dick?"
"We got another wedding to plan," he told her. He looked to his wife. "I'm still pissed but what's done is done."
"We're all here to help," said Conner.
"Thanks."
Areina looked at the staircase, thinking "I wonder if Orin's mom had a problem with him..."
"She didn't" Kaldur told her. "She was part Atlantean."
Areina jumped. "Do you have telepathy that I didn't know about?"
Kaldur chuckled. "I do not, but I had a feeling."
"But i'm not Atlantean; and Meygan isn't Martian or Kryptonian.
"You two will be fine," Serenity.
"Thanks Aunt Serenity." Areina said.
"That explained why I was sick too," Vincent said. "She was sick at your wedding sis."
"So there will be first cousins with birthdays close to each other." Areina stated; thinking about what was going to happen.
"Yep." Wally looked to Artemis. "But after our kid."
"True, Uncle Wally." Areina said.
Artemis moaned as she sat down. "She's kicking."
Wally was next to her in an instant.
"I can see it now. Bart and Brian have to chase her around because Artemis will beat Wally silly," Roy joked.
Everyone laughed.
"But I have new arrows ready for that dad," said Vincent.
They all laughed at the picture in their heads.
