A/N: Okay so I am just going to skip through the ultrasound and pick up when Bruce and Selina are in the car after the appointment. Enjoy and REVIEW please!
Bruce felt as though everything that happened after him and Selina received the results of the ultrasound to be a dream. He didn't remember hugging Selina tightly afterwards, but he did. He wasn't able to recall getting into the car with her and driving away, but here he was, in the front seat, his fingernails digging into the leather steering wheel. Naturally, they drove in silence, but in his mind, Bruce's voice was screaming, thrashing around desperately for somebody to listen to him. Keep it together. Don't freak out. Keep it together.
He glanced over at Selina, who was gazing out the window and had a hand on her stomach. Bruce forced his eyes off of her, but it took a great effort. He loved to look at her, because, well, she was gorgeous. She always was. Even now, with her hair tied up in a messy bun, her face free of makeup, she was beautiful. This was when he thought that she looked the best, when she appeared natural and wasn't worried about how she looked.
"You alright?" he asked, still in disbelief as to what the doctor had just revealed to them. Selina didn't answer him, but Bruce wasn't exactly expecting one. He just wanted her to know that he was there for her if she needed him to be. The way she bit her lip and blinked her eyes twice told him that she wasn't comfortable talking about this just yet, so he changed the subject. "Do you want to head back to the manor now, or do you want to go shopping? I can call Alfred and let him know we won't be back for dinner, if you want to go out."
Bruce saw Selina smile out of the corner of his eye. "I don't know..." Her voice trailed off and she transferred her gaze from the window to her feet. "Maybe we should go shopping to clear our heads. I mean...I'm actually pregnant!" Selina's tone dropped and suddenly she was crying. She buried her face in her hands, sobbing loudly. The car suddenly swerved, and she immediately looked up in surprise. "What the hell are you doing?" she gasped between sobs.
"I'm pulling over." The car jolted to a stop, teetering dangerously close to the edge of the road. Bruce unbuckled his seatbelt and wrapped an arm around Selina, who was crying heavily. "Honey, it's okay. I told you we can get an abortion. The doctor said that it would be safe to go into a procedure at this stage, so I can call them later if you want." She continued to cry heartbroken sobs, her head rested on his shoulder. "Selina, you don't need to worry. We'll take care of this. If you want to get an abortion, we'll get an abortion. If you want to, uh, raise the baby, we'll raise the baby. You don't have to be upset, sweetie."
Selina took a shaky breath. "I know, but...but I don't want you to...oh, God...I don't want you to have to give up..." Selina paused, sat up, and wiped her eyes. "Bruce, if we're gonna keep this baby, you're gonna have to give up so much. You're gonna have to take time of work, you're gonna have to spend money...you're gonna have to give up Batman. I know you're worried about that." She stopped talking, unbuckling her seatbelt and scooting forward in her seat. Bruce began to rub her back, which he often did. She rested her head softly on his right shoulder and began talking into his suit. "I honestly want to keep the baby; I really think that I do. I mean, don't you want to start a family? But I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to start one now."
Bruce raised an eyebrow. "Why aren't you sure?" he questioned, kissing her forehead. "Is it...because we aren't married?" There was a hint of mischief in his tone, and Selina turned to him. "I mean, we can't let that get in the way of us raising a child, now can we?" He winked at her. "Anywas, I'm getting off topic. We could keep the child. I think I'd be okay with that. And you're right. We have talked about starting a family before, and now we have the opportunity to do so. But I just want you to know that this is all up to you. If you want to have a baby, let's have a baby. If you don't want to have a baby just yet, then we'll wait."
Selina let out a long sigh, tilting her head from side to side and staring out the car window. She could see the mall from here, and just beyond that was the mansion. The car was parked dangerously close to the end of the road, and she watched as other vehicles sped past them. Selina still couldn't believe that Bruce was actually okay with her wanting to keep the baby. She wasn't planning on telling him, but she knew exactly why she didn't want to get an abortion. A baby would be the one thing that her and Bruce shared; a baby would be the one thing that was theirs. The mansion was his. Although she knew he loved her, Selina felt that having a baby would connect them in a way they've never been connected before.
"Honestly, I want the baby. I want the baby. The only thing is..." Selina grinned, savouring the look of confusion on Bruce's face. It was a rare occasion for her to catch him off his guard, and though it was wrong of her, she loved every minute of it.
"But what?" Bruce couldn't decide if he was worried or excited at the idea of being a dad. He had never gotten the chance to actually get to know his own father, and although this made him unexperienced, he couldn't help but consider how much fun it would be to raise a son or daughter.
Selina smirked, taking Bruce's hand in hers. "But I'm gonna get so fat!"
