Ta-da! The second chapter, Yay!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own JTV or DC, just my crappy OCs.
(October, two months later)
It's probably the anemia, she thinks, maybe she accidently used that other ability and did not notice. She always missed one period when she used it, but now she had missed two and that was enough to make her think something was wrong.
To add salt to the wound, her Empathic borderline telepathic abilities had decided to give her a ten-second glimpse into Batman's outermost thoughts and feelings making sure she got no sleep when he decided to get frisky with the Kleptomaniac with a cat fetish above the building next to hers.
The next morning she decided to see a Doctor. An actual Doctor and not the immigrant Venezuelan doctor illegally practicing medicine in his son's apartment two floors down, because Gotham Academy has killer health insurance and she can now afford healthcare in America.
Unfortunately, her car had not survived a recent super villain attack where someone decided to drop an airborne lamppost on it. Insurance in a Superhero City had it bad and it would take weeks to get the check to replace it. Which brings us here; the metro bus where Dina and Maggie take turns sitting on the only available seat.
Ah yes, Magdalena Sarai Garza, or Maggie for short. Maggie was Dina's second youngest sibling and the third daughter to their parents. She was the overachiever who wanted to be a general surgeon and unbeknownst to her family Magdalena had lost her virginity to the guy she has been seeing for the past two months. A guy who went to 'buy superpowers' and hasn't called since then.
"I don't see why you had to come with me", Dina muttered suppressing another bout of nausea, "I can take care of myself."
"Gotham makes Mexico look tame, you could pass out and someone might try to kill you and make some sort of Frankenstein's Monster with you ," Maggie said while highlighting something in her notes since the appointment is before her class in the afternoon.
"I don't faint, Maggie." She does, and nine times out of ten it's in public.
"Dude, you pass out whenever a Doctor says he gotta give you a shot," Maggie snickered and flipped the page. She really does not, because the truth is, Dinora can warp reality at the cost of her health, but they cannot say that in public.
"That only happened twice and I had a-,"Dinora never finished that sentence because all women in fictional worlds including this one, faint when they are pregnant.
(Emergency room about 20 minutes later)
"Mystery solved; nausea, no period and fainting," The nurse said looking over the results of her urine sample; "you are pregnant, congratulations."
Dina and Maggie burst out laughing, there had to be a mistake. Her career did not give her time to get it on with the guys she dated. Besides, even just making out with someone had this horrible tendency to make the hard-fought control over her slightly superior psychic ability vanish. Its awkward to find out your significant other is screwing your stripper cousin while making out with him.
"There is-- has to be-- a mistake, I've never had sex,"Dina said after laughing for a good minute or so.
"Miss Garza you are a grown woman, you don't have to lie to your sister about it," the Nurse said as politely as she could. The nurse looked like all nurses did; partially tired of dealing with your bullshit and calm enough to explain things to you gently.
"I am not lying!"
(20 minutes and three tests later)
"Why are all these tests coming back positive?" Dina asked out loud running a hand through her hair. The closest she has been alone with a man was during an awkward date with a day laborer she met in Lowes and she left the second his pregnant wife showed up.
"I had sex and I hated it!" Maggie blurts out after holding that secret for a week. A new record considering the longest she had gone had been eight hours.
"Why are you telling me this now? You couldn't tell me, I don't know, at home?" Dinora yelled loud enough for Clark Kent to nearly hit a bird on his way back to Metropolis.
"What if you are carrying a religious messiah or you're like a reincarnation of Virgin Mary or some shit like that?" Maggie answers in kind, her hands gesturing wildly at her. "I can't lie to a Saint!"
"You better not start praying!" Taking her phone out of her purse she dialed the clinic was going to show that Doctor why no one pissed off a Garza.
(Bat cave, Wayne Manor)
It had been a very slim chance of it happening, and to his dismay, it did. His only consolation was that its mother would decide to terminate her very much unwanted pregnancy. The last thing he wanted was to bring an innocent baby into the mix.
He had gotten a phone call shortly after his hysterical baby mama yelled at the doctor replacing the missing gynecologist confirming what he already knew. Batman already knew every piece of information Dinora A. Garza- Espinoza, but Bruce Wayne only had access to the class syllabus of one Richard John Grayson and her Facebook profile. He would wait for her to contact him; it was her choice after all.
(Apartment 246, somewhere in Gotham)
In the living room, Maggie sat cross-legged with Dina's head in her lap, doing what siblings do best: comfort you and give advice on situations they most likely will never get into. Pregnant Virgin was one Maggie had recently unlocked.
"I don't know what to do," Dina murmured into her pillow. She did not want this baby, but at the same time, she did. Abortion was a taboo, her upbringing made her see it as horrible and cruel, but it was an option. "What am I going to do with a baby; we can barely afford to live here. Bruce seems like an ok dad, but he obviously doesn't want a baby."
Avoiding the tiny pieces of chocolate on her sister's popcorn, Maggie answered," You should ask mom and Amada, I mean; you have to tell them soon."
A/N: Pretty sure living in a superhero city, especially Gotham, would have taxes from hell and insurance companies would dread having to answer those phone calls. I bet insurance companies have an entire claims department for just for them.
The Drug war in Mexico started sometime in 2006 and around 2008 it became a bloodbath. Rival Cartels fighting for power and a government that is as useless as the Gotham City Police, it is Mexican Gotham without costumes or Batman.
I made my OC from here, the Rio Grande Valley, mostly because we are always ignored by like everyone unless we screw up, get hit by a natural disaster or Trump wants to build a wall with funds meant for better things.
